Description

Be used for object is inserted into the method and apparatus of the material strips of tobacco processing industry
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method that is used for object is inserted at least one material strips, the especially filter rod of tobacco processing industry.The invention still further relates to a kind of device and a kind of application and band of packing into that is used for object is inserted at least one material strips, the especially filter rod of tobacco processing industry.
Therefore, the present invention relates to make the rod-shaped products that is used for the tobacco processing industry, be particularly useful for the material strips of cigarette with filter tip, especially tobacco rods or filter rod.Tobacco rods or filter rod are cut into single tobacco rod or filter stick with being dimensioned after it is made.Filter stick or tobacco rod that filter rod or sizing are cut comprise the one or more objects as important component part, and said object influences cigarette or filtering feature.
Background technology
Concerning filter stick or filter rod, said object relates in particular to the capsule with firm shell, and said capsule is filled with liquid.In this case, liquid comprises seasoning material or spices, for example menthol usually.In order to use, the smoker made the capsule spalling through pressure is applied on the filter tip before smoking, then light smoking.Discharge liquid through pressure being applied on the capsule in the filter tip, therefore make the fragrance performance of liquid.This way provides dense or pure and fresh especially sense of taste.Corresponding capsule has the diameter of about 3.5mm usually, yet also maybe be littler.
Alternatively, in framework of the present invention, also can use hard object, can also use littler or bigger particle equally, spheroid or the cylindrical objects for example processed by active carbon, extrudate or other filtering material or additive as said object.
According to WO2005/032286A2, such technology comprises and is used for the insertion device that capsule enters into the filter filament band that said insertion device has the wheel of packing into of rotation.This wheel of packing into has the accommodation section that is used for capsule on its periphery, after insertion, utilize the suction air that capsule is remained in this accommodation section.When packing the rotation of taking turns again into, the periphery of the wheel of packing into enters into the filter filament band usually.In a single day capsule gets in the filter filament band in this case, so just cuts off to suck air.Therefore, capsule is placed in the filter filament band, and along with the filter filament band is continued to carry.On the position of wheel of packing into, the filter filament band keeps " U " shape basically, and the wheel of wherein packing into gets in the medial concavity or gets in the passage of " U ".Then, carry out the shaping of filter rod, wherein the filter filament band is encapsulated, compresses and utilize strap to pack.
The delivery of filtered mouth tow band and the filter rod of formation continuously thus in the filter tip sett frame.At this, the speed of production of the filter rod filter filament band and that form thus and transporting velocity are limited by the maximal rate of the insertion device of the object that is used for being inserted into filter rod.At this moment, this maximal rate is about 100m/min.Speed of production when therefore, this speed of production is starkly lower than the traditional filter rod that does not insert capsule therein.
This is because the wheel and the wheel of being packed into by this admit the speed difference between the capsule not long ago too big packing into.Perhaps be not that each capsule has all found the container cavity in the wheel of packing into, perhaps capsule is damaged, because capsule is not hidden in the container cavity as yet fully and crushed on the storage wall.
In addition, between the starting period, the filter stick that is equipped with capsule must be dished out so in known system, until filter rod with pack wheel into synchronously.
 
Summary of the invention
Therefore based on this prior art; The objective of the invention is to; Realization to be to be inserted into object in the material strips of tobacco processing industry than higher before this speed, and wherein this object also should be by than handling before this more carefully, and especially must be processed as waste product than still less object before this.
Said purpose realizes that through the method that is used for object is inserted at least one material strips, the especially filter rod of tobacco processing industry this method comprises the steps:
-from object deposit part, obtain said object,
-said the object that obtains is holding in the highway section at section straight line or bow with the bands of packing into the accommodation section that is arranged at least one row continuously that is used for said object, through at least two slewing rollers guiding along the direction of throughput direction at least one accomodating unit and is quickening; So that dwindle at the said described accommodation section of band and the speed difference between the said object of packing into
-said object is received in the described accommodation section along the said highway section that holds,
-said object is maintained in the said described accommodation section of being with of packing into by means of the suction air and is transported to the insertion position on said material strips,
-said object is inserted into the said material strips from the described accommodation section at place, said insertion position.
According to the method for the invention based on this basic thought, promptly object, for example capsule are by taking out in the tank and accelerating to bigger speed, especially accelerate to about bar speed through the measure that is fit to.Dwindled thus at pack into accommodation section and the speed difference between the object of band, therefore obviously than more possible before this be that object is received in the accommodation section of being with of packing into.In addition, in holding section straight line, convex or bow the highway section, that pack band into, realize said near and admittance in the accommodation section of the band of packing into.Prolonged the duration thus, in this duration, the object that is accelerated is with parallel and motion with packing into with contacting with each other.Certainly, the highway section ratio that holds of realizing straight line technically realizes that the highway section that holds of convex or bow spends littler.
Especially in the following manner guarantee directed parallel: i.e. the acceleration of object is carried out along the direction of holding highway section straight line, convex or bow of the band of packing into.This expression, object are arranged essentially parallel to the band motion of packing into when holding the highway section entering into, and therefore do not receive strong bump.Under the situation of holding the highway section of bow, object contacts with the band of packing at concave curve section place and is forced on the surface of the band of packing into owing to centrifugal force.
Through in holding the highway section, guiding object abreast and pack band and reduce speed difference into, obviously improved object and arrived the possibility in the accommodation section of the band of packing into through the acceleration before the object.To pack into the band the accommodation section in hold more to protect the mode of object and method to carry out with comparing before this obviously; Because said object does not face such danger owing to the speed difference that obviously reduces; Promptly on the edge of accommodation section of band of packing into by big defeat broken, as the situation of the wheel of packing into known in the prior art.Can also prolong the maintenance that is used for device thus and clean interval.
