Description

Carry the conveying device of the tobacco industry rod-shaped products and the method for this conveying device of control
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preamble with claim 1 feature, for delivery of conveying device and a kind of method feature, that be used for the such conveying device of control with preamble of claim 13 of the bar shaped article of the tobacco industry.
Background technology
For example for conveying cigarettes, cigarlet or filter rod, use this paper to start the conveying device of described type, this conveying device comprises format field, the unlimited bar of tobacco or tractive bundle (Tow) is placed on the unlimited width of cloth band of encapsulating material in described format field, then described parcel and the bonding bar that is fixed to fixed in shape by the side, edge of described encapsulating material.And then the bar of this fixed in shape utilizes a plurality of cuttves that radially outward stretch out to be cut into the rod of the cylindricality with excellent length of predesignating by means of the knife rest of rotation.After cutting, these products bar as contiguous successively single rod on guiding device is continued to transfer or instead also continue transported on one's own initiative an acceptance point.In this acceptance point, utilize longitudinal conveyor that these rods are transported by guiding device, and be transported to an intersection point, in this intersection point these rods by longitudinal conveyor transverse to its longitudinal direction hand to cross conveyor.
Longitudinal conveyor is formed by the cylinder that rotation drives, and described cylinder has a plurality of exceed and lever arms that can support rotatably.At each lever arm the accommodation section that one or more axially has spacing is set, arranges that one or more is aimed at abreast with the rod that is transferred in these accommodation sections and can load the groove of low pressure.During the cylinder rotation, for standing in outside observer, described lever arm is carried out a kind of rotatablely move opposite with rotatablely moving of cylinder, and like this, these accommodation sections just are directed in oval-shaped tracks.This remains on these accommodation sections by means of a kind of mechanism during cylinder and lever arm rotate among a kind of orientation constant, preferably level.During cylinder rotated, so closely from product next door process, namely these products were held by the low pressure that works in these grooves, and are transported by this conveying device in acceptance point in these accommodation sections that are provided with groove thereon.Carry between moving period in continuation, these products are moved to intersection point, and these grooves carry out a kind of preferred pure transverse movement with respect to their longitudinal axis together with the product of supporting therein in described intersection point.In addition, cross conveyor is set also, described cross conveyor also is to be made of the cylinder that can rotate driving, and still the rotation with it preferably arranges for the rectangular layout of longitudinal conveyor with a kind of.On the radially outer surface of shell of cross conveyor, being provided with a plurality of also is to load groove low pressure and that aim at abreast with the rotation of cross conveyor.So closely from the groove of longitudinal conveyor be supported in wherein product next door process, namely these products are received transverse to their longitudinal axis ground these grooves, and are continued conveying in intersection point.
Problem when carrying these products is, the groove of the accommodation section of longitudinal conveyor must move with the speed higher than the speed of the product that is transferred (being also referred to as supervelocity) in acceptance point, like this, just will not heap at the product that guiding device is transported on the longitudinal conveyor, perhaps bump receiving between moving period with at the heel product.In addition in this case, this supervelocity is also relevant with the excellent length of product, because for the product of carrying different excellent length, the rotating speed of the longitudinal conveyor of conveying device also is identical, and the bar speed of the product that is transferred must be mutually harmonious with the quantity of predesignating of product to be received in per time unit.Owing to these reasons, when rough sledding, receive these products with the supervelocity up to the twice of comparing with the transporting velocity of product.In addition, groove itself has certain surface roughness.When carrying out described reception, this surface roughness is also determined the frictional force that works jointly between groove and product.
Because this supervelocity, described product is accelerated suddenly when receiving, and thus at axial direction with there is certain power to be applied on the product in the radial direction, these power are a reason that drops of product especially.Therefore say that in principle this supervelocity should be as much as possible little, perhaps a transporting velocity than product exceeds slight numerical value.A bit keep away unavoidably in addition in addition, namely these rods are received slidably, and tracing it to its cause for example is because supervelocity is too high, or the cause that reduces in the surface roughness of long period operation pit.This slip can cause the deviation of the relative physical location of product on the longitudinal direction of the groove of longitudinal conveyor and the nominal position predesignated, and this deviation also causes the deviation of the physical location of described product on the longitudinal direction of the groove of cross conveyor and the nominal position of predesignating inevitably.Because described product be by cross conveyor just transverse to its longitudinal axis be transferred, so do not wave (wegtaumeln) as long as this deviation is not for example eliminated by means of the contact disc (Anlagescheibe) of side, this deviation also can keep in continuing to carry on the way so.In the time these products will being cut into the product of single-length degree in the product of carrying Double Length and this position on cross conveyor, the alignment particular importance of these products in the described groove of cross conveyor is because therefore the position of described product in the groove of cross conveyor also have decisive influence for the length of the product of the single-length degree that has been cut in the fixing situation in cut edge.

Longitudinal conveyor 1 comprises can be by the cylinder 22 of drive unit 10 rotation drivings, be provided with lever arm 23 at the end side surface place on cylinder, the direction of rotation reversible transmission mechanism of described lever arm by own drive unit or the drive unit 10 by cylinder 22 is towards the direction of rotation driving opposite with the direction of rotation of cylinder 22.Place, end at lever arm 23 arranges the accommodation section 11 of axially stretching out respectively.These accommodation sections are owing to counter-rotating campaign and the rotatablely moving of cylinder 22 of lever arm 23 are directed in oval-shaped tracks.These accommodation sections 11 have two grooves that are set parallel to each other 24 respectively, constant, the preferably sensing of level that these grooves keep during rotating.The oval-shaped tracks of accommodation section 11 is to limit with respect to rotatablely moving of rotatablely moving of cylinder 22 by lever arm 23, and be so directed, be groove 24 in acceptance point I place and product 17 parallel aligned, and have the spacing of predesignating with product 17.Rotatablely moving of the accommodation section 11 of longitudinal conveyor 1 or setting thereon is synchronous with the cutting frequency of cutter sweep 3, like this, the accommodation section 11 that in acceptance point I, has two grooves 24 be centrally located on exactly and preferably respectively two products 17 that arrange in parallel with each other above, and these products 17 are held by the low pressure that arranges in groove 24, and are transported.
Between conveying moving period of continuing, the product 17 of these accommodation sections 11 and supporting in groove 24 is transported to intersection point II, these products are received by the groove that may load low pressure 26 of cross conveyor 2 from groove 24 in described intersection point II, and at this moment transverse to its longitudinal axis be transferred.Intersection point II so selects, namely in the accommodation section 11 of this some place longitudinal conveyor 1 or groove 24 almost only with the direction of motion of the groove 26 of cross conveyor 2 vertically and identical sensings ground move.The groove 26 of cross conveyor 2 alternately be arranged on can rotating lever arm 19 and fixed-site or can slight rotating lever arm 21 on, these lever arms are directed in the collisionless tracks of tracks with the accommodation section 11 of longitudinal conveyor 1.Cross conveyor 2 also comprises the cylinder 25 that is driven rotatably by drive unit, lever arm 19 and 21 is bearing on the described cylinder, but described lever arm rotates round rotation, and the rotation of described rotation and longitudinal conveyor 1 arranges with rectangular position.
In this case, guiding device 4 is made of track, and described track in height can be regulated by means of arrangement for adjusting height 13 at acceptance point I place, and can be supported in pivotally with acceptance point I and have in the floating bearing 18 that distance ground arranges.
Be provided with sensor device 12 among the embodiment that in Fig. 1, illustrates, described sensor device has sensor surface induction field (Sensorfeld) 14 in other words, the product 17 that described induction field is aimed at the groove 24 among the acceptance point I or supported in groove 24 is perhaps aimed at just by groove 24 or product 17 in the position after the acceptance point I.In Fig. 2, can see a kind of alternative form of implementation of the present invention, in this form of implementation, be provided with sensor device 15, the product 17 that described sensor device utilizes induction field 16 alignment slots 26 or is supported in groove 26.These two sensor devices 12 and 15 fixed-site, and contactlessly arrange with groove 24 and 26, that is to say that they preferably do not move in company with longitudinal conveyor 1 or cross conveyor 2 together.This way has following advantage, and namely sensor device 12 and 15 does not disturb lever arm 19 and 21 or the motion of accommodation section 11, and therefore needn't structurally change longitudinal conveyor 1 and cross conveyor 2.In addition, these sensor devices 12 and 15 can couple together by lead and control device 20 fixing or that do not move.In Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, show two sensor devices 12 and 15 for simplicity, yet, certainly in order to realize that the present invention only needs in sensor device 12 or 15.
Preferably sensor device 12 and 15 is designed to the sensor device of optics, the sensor of this optics is not according to its composition and only can testing product 17 by means of its outside shape and color relation.In this case, the sensor of handling image for example is provided, line sensor for example, this line sensor produces a kind of like this signal, be sort signal with product different, to compare the color that highlights with the metal background be foundation, and can directly detect product 17 with respect to the position of groove 24 and 26 by this measure.Also can use in addition and have laser beam or ultrared grating, described product passes described laser beam or infrared ray transverse to its axis ground guiding under the situation that is disposed at cross conveyor 2 grooves 26, and described product passes described laser beam or infrared ray along the direction ground guiding of its longitudinal axis under the situation of the groove 24 that is disposed at longitudinal conveyor 1.So-called fork-shaped grating particularly can be provided in this case, under the situation of this fork-shaped grating, sensor surface or reflecting surface be integrated in the sensor.The fork-shaped grating has two arms, and product 17 guides between these two arms and passes.In this case, from the direction emission of an arm towards another arm, this signal is got on reflecting surface or sensor surface that another arm arranges then with described signal.When product 17 passed the fork-shaped grating, the sensor beam was interrupted, and produced a kind of signal by this measure and changed.
Instead particularly can in the sensor device 15 of cross conveyor, use a kind of synchronous capable array (getakteter Zeilenarray) of pulsation in other words, described capable array sends pulse for the product 17 of process, and scan the surface of product 17 described groove 26 or that support therein by measurement running time of signal, and directly detect the position of product 17 in groove 26.
In addition, particularly the sensor device 15 on the cross conveyor 2 constitutes by the fixing range sensor of aiming at product 17 cut edges.Product passes through from described range sensor is other in end side surface.Because because described range sensor fixedly installs, so can be considered as to the distance of the groove 26 of motion from the side be known to sensor, so can directly obtain the position of product 17 groove 26 from this signal.
Owing to detect these position of product 17 in groove 24 or 26, so can regulate described product 17 on one's own initiative at acceptance point I place with respect to the position of groove 24, also can change the position of product 17 in intersection point II by this measure, and and then also can change product 17 position of longitudinal axis along it in the groove 26 of cross conveyor 2.
For example by the drive unit 8 of controlling described form band 7, drive unit 9 or the drive unit that passes through the described lever arm 23 of control or the drive unit 10 of described longitudinal conveyor 1 by controlling described cutter sweep 3, the position of product in acceptance point I can be changed, the alignment situation of the oval-shaped tracks of accommodation section 11 in same plane can be temporarily changed by means of this control.In this case, regulating a little by the control of arrangement for adjusting height 13, the height of product 17 in acceptance point I also is suitable, like this, after having regulated oval-shaped tracks, groove 24 has the distance of predesignating again apart from product 17 in acceptance point I.By regulating the height of described product in acceptance point I, the thrust that is applied on the product by groove 24 can be reduced to a kind of numerical value of predesignating in receiving course.
Can detect leading edge or the back edge along traffic direction of described product 17 by means of sensor device 12, and the physical location marking of longitudinal conveyor 1 can be set where necessary.Therefore the physical location of product 17 produces for the yardstick of described product 17 in the position of the groove 24 of longitudinal conveyor 1 under the situation with respect to the position of its substrate holder in conjunction with longitudinal conveyor 1 or accommodation section 11, and also produces for described product 17 and then at the yardstick of the position of the groove 26 of cross conveyor 2.This physical location can compare with the nominal length relevant with the actual excellent length of product 17.When physical location and nominal position have deviation, can utilize this to regulate the whole conveying device that difference is used for regulating the back.Instead or additionally also can control for the preposition device of conveying device according to the principle of the regulating loop that is used for reducing described adjusting difference.In this case, the physical location of described product is preferably approached to progression nominal position in other words iteratively in adjustment process, wherein, the change in location of this progression is being achieved within the quantity of predesignating of bar or under the situation of the length tolerance that utilization allows.
This adjusting preferably can be carried out when machine moves, and like this, though speed is different with coefficient of friction, also can make product keep identical sensing ground to receive this product in the groove 26 of cross conveyor 2.
Particularly also can identify the broken situation of bar of 17 of described two products of carrying abreast dividually by this measure.In addition, also can be individually and detect the accommodation section 11 of described longitudinal conveyor 1 apart from each other.Can identify the position of each single accommodation section 11 of described longitudinal conveyor 1 by this measure, this can be used in identifies fault ahead of time, and is used for transporting more exactly described product 17.
Because guide rail 4a and 4b are arranged on the shared guiding device 4, it also is called prismatic rail (Prismenschiene), so also can be by the relative position that reverses to change product 17 of prismatic rail.
