Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a transfer device for transferring rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, which are conveyed in a longitudinal axial manner in a row, from a longitudinal conveyor, which conveys the articles in a longitudinal axial manner to a transverse conveyor, which conveys the articles away in a transverse axial manner, wherein the transfer device has an accelerator disk pair, which has a pressure disk and a first conveyor disk, wherein the transfer device also has a second conveyor disk, wherein the first conveyor disk and the second conveyor disk have contact surfaces, which have a constant radius in a first section and an increasing radius in a second section. The invention also relates to a method for operating a transfer device for transferring rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, which are conveyed in a longitudinal axial manner, from a longitudinal conveyor, which conveys the articles in a row in a longitudinal axial manner, to a transverse conveyor, which conveys the articles away in a transverse axial manner, comprising the following method steps:
-accelerating a rod-shaped article in a longitudinal axial direction by means of an accelerator tray pair (14), wherein the rod-shaped article is spaced apart in the longitudinal axial direction from upstream further rod-shaped articles conveyed by the longitudinal conveyor;
-moving the rod-shaped articles along an additional transverse axial movement component (v) by means of a first transfer tray and a second transfer tray2) Moving, the first conveyor tray being part of the pair of accelerator trays, the second conveyor tray being arranged downstream of the first conveyor tray;
-feeding out the rod-shaped articles into the transverse conveyor.
The invention also relates to the use of a first and a second transfer plate in combination with a press plate for transferring rod-shaped articles from a longitudinal conveyor to a transverse conveyor.
background
Rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry are understood within the scope of the present invention to be rod-shaped articles, such as cigarettes, tobacco rods wrapped with a wrapping material, filter rods, multi-segment filter rods and the like. These rod-shaped articles are usually produced in a rod-forming process, wherein the rod-shaped articles are usually cut to length from the produced rod by a cutter device and moved in the longitudinal axial conveying direction by a longitudinal conveyor, for example comprising a format device, in which the rod-shaped articles are conveyed on a format belt. In this case, the conveying direction is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the strip or of the rod-shaped article.
In the case of rod-forming machines in the tobacco processing industry, such as cigarette-forming machines or filter rod-forming machines, it is becoming more difficult with increasing production speeds to transfer the rod segments separated from the rod from their longitudinal axis production conveyor belt to a transverse axial conveyor path for further processing, since the rod segments can no longer be transferred sufficiently quickly to the transverse conveyor moving transversely to the rod conveyor path for the short time provided for this purpose or can be accelerated by the resulting acceleration with corresponding damage to the rod-shaped articles. Furthermore, disturbing the transport flow can damage or even destroy the transported strip sections or rod-shaped articles.
In order to facilitate the deflection of the articles from their longitudinal axial conveying direction and the transfer of the articles onto a transverse conveyor, it is known to impart to the articles, before the articles are pushed into the receiving section of the transverse conveyor, a movement component transverse to their longitudinal axial movement direction and parallel to the movement of the receiving section of the transverse conveyor. This is described, for example, in DE-AS 1228978 or in DE 3444468C 2.
A corresponding transfer device is also known from EP 0689775B 1, in which not only is an acceleration of the rod-shaped articles first obtained in the longitudinal axial direction, but a transverse axial transport component is also caused.
In this case, rotating disks of different sizes or provided with ramps of different sizes are provided, which disks cause, on the one hand, a transverse axial displacement of the rods parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rod-forming machine and, on the other hand, via a conveyor arranged next to the transverse conveyor, a further support of the rod-shaped articles is obtained during the movement in the transverse axial direction.
Functionally optimized devices according to EP 0689775B 1 are time-consuming and cost-consuming. Furthermore, the guidance of the rod-shaped articles by the rotating disc provided with the ramp is relatively imprecise.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the invention is to improve a transfer device and a method for transferring rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, which are conveyed in a longitudinal axial manner in a row, from a longitudinal conveyor, which conveys the articles in a longitudinal axial manner, to a transverse conveyor, which conveys the articles away in a transverse axial manner, in such a way that the quality of the conveyed rod-shaped articles is not affected and a defined guidance of the rod-shaped articles is also possible.
This object is achieved by a transfer device for transferring rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, which are conveyed in a longitudinal axial manner, from a longitudinal conveyor, which conveys the articles in a row in a longitudinal axial manner, to a transverse conveyor, which conveys the articles away in a transverse axial manner, wherein the transfer device has an accelerator disk pair having a pressure disk and a first transfer disk, wherein the transfer device further comprises a second transfer plate, wherein the first transfer plate and the second transfer plate have contact surfaces, the contact surfaces have a constant radius in the first section and an increasing radius in the second section, the transfer device being improved in such a way that, that is, the first and second conveyance trays can be driven or driven in a rotary manner in an angular position that can be variably adjusted relative to each other.
It is possible with the transfer device according to the invention to specifically set the optimized guide rails for the rod-shaped articles. In particular, it is thereby possible to minimize the frictional resistance, which is effective or generated, for example, when introducing the rod-shaped articles into the receiving section of the transverse conveyor. For this purpose, it can be provided, for example, that a targeted angular position is set at the location of the parallel guides of the rod-shaped articles, i.e. at the location of the guides in which the rod-shaped articles remain parallel to the conveying direction of the longitudinal conveyor and are displaced in the transverse direction in such a way that the rod-shaped articles come into contact with the wall of the transverse conveyor receptacle, for example, with a small surface. By the measures according to the invention, an optimum position of the rod-shaped articles on the conveying path can be set.
For this purpose, provision can be made for: the first conveyance tray and the second conveyance tray are driven separately from each other. However, it is also possible to provide: the first and second transport disks are jointly driven, for example, by a drive belt, and, on the contrary, the angular position of the first transport disk relative to the second transport disk is adjusted in such a way that the motor can move the transport disks in terms of angular position relative to the drive of the transport disks. The motor may be, for example, a motor that is placed on the drive shaft and that can rotate the outer body of the conveyor pan relative to the drive shaft.
By providing an accelerator disk pair, it is possible to dispense with the low pressure for holding the rod-shaped article.
Preferably, the first conveyor tray and the second conveyor tray are identical in configuration and size. Thus, a cost-effective implementation is possible.
Preferably, the pressing plate has the same radius in the region in which the pressing plate and the first transfer plate are used for acceleration of the rod-shaped articles in the longitudinal axial direction as in the first section of the first transfer plate. The first feed disk and the pressure disk can thus be operated at least by a common drive.
preferably, the second section of the first and second conveyor pan extends over an angular width of 35 ° to 90 °, particularly preferably over an angular width of 60 ° to 86 °, particularly preferably over an angular width of 74 ° to 83 °. This results in a very precise guidance in the longitudinal axial direction through the correspondingly large first portions of the first and second feed disks. In addition, a very compact transfer device is thereby obtained.
Preferably, the pressure plate has a recess for a length specification of a rod-shaped article of 48mm to 180mm over an angular width of 80 ° to 230 °. The larger the length specification of the rod-shaped article, the larger the void in this case. Thereby, the pressing plate does not hinder the transport of the rod-shaped articles in the transverse axial direction.
Within the scope of the present invention, the angular position is understood to mean, in particular, the relative orientation of the first and second conveyor discs with respect to one another during and/or with respect to rotation. When, for example, the two conveyor pans have the end of the first section and the beginning of the second section at the 12 o' clock position, then the two conveyor pans have the same angular position. When the second feed disk is advanced by 5 °, for example, i.e. the end of the first portion and the start of the second portion are 5 ° before 12 °, an angular position of 5 ° of the second feed disk relative to the first feed disk or an advance of 5 ° is used. In the case of such angular positions, the rod-shaped articles are introduced into the receiving section of the cross conveyor with the front portion in the conveying direction being spaced widely apart from the longitudinal axis of the rod in the conveying direction along the transverse axis. In the opposite case, i.e. with the first transfer tray advanced in terms of angular position (voraiilt), the rod-shaped articles are introduced into the receiving section of the cross conveyor in a front section which is closer to the longitudinal axis of the strip conveyor in the transverse axial direction than in a rear section.
In the context of the present invention, the term angular position is therefore to be understood in particular as a position of the first conveyor disc relative to the position of the second conveyor disc with respect to its rotation about the first conveyor disc rotation axis, the position of the second conveyor disc being the position of the second conveyor disc with respect to its rotation about the second conveyor disc rotation axis. The angular position is therefore in particular a value for the angle of rotation of the first conveyor disc relative to the angle of rotation of the second conveyor disc.
A particularly stable and precisely defined transport path can be achieved if a further pressing disk is provided for forming a further accelerator disk pair with the second transport disk.
Preferably, the further pressing plate has a pressing region which extends over an angular width of 30 ° to 100 °, in particular 40 ° to 90 °. A relatively large recess is thereby obtained or a recess is realized which does not influence the transverse axial movement of the rod-shaped article.
Preferably, the pressing plate or pressing plates have at least one hollow space for balancing the pressing plate. In this case, it is considered that in the region of the recess there is less mass in the pressure plate, as a result of which an imbalance can result. Preferably, a hollow space is arranged on the opposite side in each case in order to obtain a uniformly formed mass distribution.
The object is also achieved by a method for operating a transfer device for transferring rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, which are conveyed in a longitudinal axial manner, from a longitudinal conveyor, which conveys a row of the articles in a longitudinal axial manner, to a transverse conveyor, which conveys the articles away in a transverse axial manner, having the following method steps:
-accelerating a rod-shaped article in a longitudinal axial direction by means of an accelerator tray pair, wherein the rod-shaped article is spaced apart in the longitudinal axial direction from upstream further rod-shaped articles conveyed by the longitudinal conveyor;
-moving the rod-shaped articles along an additional transverse axial movement component (v) by means of a first transfer tray and a second transfer tray2) Moving, the first conveyor tray being part of the pair of accelerator trays, the second conveyor tray being arranged downstream of the first conveyor tray;
-feeding out the rod-shaped articles onto the transverse conveyor, the method being improved in that the rod-shaped articles have an additional transverse axial movement component (v)2) By means of the first conveyor tray over a predeterminable first time period and by means of the second conveyor tray over a predeterminable second time period, wherein these time periods are variably adjustable or are adjusted relative to one another.
By the fact that the time period during which the movement of the rod-shaped articles along an additional transverse axial movement component takes place can be variably adjusted or adjusted, it is possible to accurately adjust the movement path of the rod-shaped articles during the transfer from the longitudinal to the transverse axial conveying device into the transverse axial conveying device. In this way, the rod-shaped articles can be transferred with the greatest possible maintenance when operating such machines in the tobacco processing industry, in which case the rod-shaped articles are fed from the rod-forming machine and transferred to a machine operating in a transverse axial manner in order to be further processed there.
The adjustment of the time period is preferably effected in that the first and second conveyor discs have contact surfaces which have a constant radius in the first section and an increasing radius in the second section, wherein the first and second conveyor discs are rotatably drivable or driven in an angular position which is variably adjustable relative to one another. The variably adjustable time period can be realized by a variably adjustable angular position.
Preferably, these time periods are adjusted relative to each other in such a way that the frictional resistance acting between the rod-shaped articles and the transverse conveyor upon receiving the rod-shaped articles into the transverse conveyor is minimized or minimized. This enables a very economical transfer or delivery of the rod-shaped articles into the transverse conveyor.
An optical quality optimization method is preferably used in order to adjust the time periods relative to one another. The optical quality optimization method can preferably be used in order to adjust the angular position of the first and second conveyor tray relative to each other. In this case, for example, a rod-shaped article is observed by means of a camera after being transferred into the cross conveyor and compared with a target image. If too strong a change in shape or damage, for example on the wrapping material web, is seen by the camera image, the time periods already existing relative to one another are adjusted differently or the angular position of the conveyor trays relative to one another is changed.
Preferably, the method is performed automatically.
The object is further achieved by the use of first and second structurally identical conveying discs in conjunction with pressing discs for transferring rod-shaped articles conveyed in a longitudinal axial manner in the tobacco processing industry from a longitudinal conveyor, which conveys the articles in a row in a longitudinal axial manner, to a transverse conveyor, which conveys the articles away in a transverse axial manner.
Preferably, the first and second conveyor discs are driven in a rotary manner or are driven in an angular position which is variably adjustable relative to one another.
Preferably, the first and second conveyor discs have contact surfaces with a constant radius over the first section and an increasing radius over the second section.
A further pressure plate is preferably provided, which is brought or brought into operative connection with the second feed plate.
Further features of the invention are explained from the description of embodiments according to the invention in connection with the figures. Embodiments according to the present invention may satisfy individual features or a combination of features.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 schematically shows a top view onto a transfer device 10 according to the invention. The transfer device 10 serves to transfer rod-shaped articles 11 conveyed in a longitudinal axial manner, which are conveyed in a longitudinal direction in a longitudinal conveyor 12 as shown in fig. 1, i.e. in the direction of the arrow schematically indicated in fig. 1 on the rod-shaped articles 11, onto a transverse conveyor 13, which is schematically shown on the left in fig. 1 and moves in the direction of the arrow schematically indicated on the transverse conveyor 13. The longitudinal conveyor 12 can be, for example, a component of a rod maker of the tobacco processing industry, such as a cigarette rod maker or a filter rod maker. The cross conveyor 13 may be, for example, a cross conveyor drum, which is used, for example, for feeding filter rods further onto a filter tip mounting machine.
The transfer device according to the invention has an accelerator disk pair 14 comprising a pressure disk 15 and a first transfer disk 16. The direction of rotation of the pressure plate 15 and of the first feed plate 16 is indicated schematically by the arrow on the respective plate. The transfer device 10 also has a second transfer tray 17, which is arranged downstream of said first transfer tray 16. The second conveyance tray 17 also rotates along the arrow shown schematically on the second conveyance tray 17.
The transfer device 10 operates as follows. The accelerator disk pair 14 grips a rod-shaped article 11 'from the upstream longitudinal conveyor 12, and moves the rod-shaped article 11' to a speed v1And subsequently accelerating the rod-shaped article 11' to have a velocity v2The transverse axial movement component of the rod-shaped articles 11' in order to be introduced into the receiving section 33 of the transverse conveyor 13. The receiving portion 33 may be a receiving groove which may be slightly wider at the upstream opening in order to converge conically narrower correspondingly at least on one half side. By means of the slightly larger inlet opening of the receiving section 33 in the cross conveyor 13, the rod-shaped articles 11, 11', 11 ″ can be pushed into the cross conveyor 13 more easily.
in order to be able to accelerate the longitudinal axis, contact surfaces 20 are provided on the pressure plate 15 and the first conveyor plate 16, by means of which the rod-shaped articles 11' are gripped and correspondingly separated from the upstream rod-shaped articles 11, which are also arranged in the longitudinal conveyor 12, by the higher conveying speed of the accelerator plate pair 14.
In order to obtain a movement component in the transverse axial direction, the conveyor disks 16, 17 have sections on the contact surfaces 20, 20 'or bearing surfaces for the rod-shaped articles 11, 11', 11 ″ which have a radius which increases in the conveying direction. Whereby the rod-shaped article is accelerated in the transverse axial direction and a velocity v is obtained2。
The first transfer tray 16 and the second transfer tray 17 are now designed according to the invention in a structurally identical manner. It is also preferred that the radius of the contact surface 20 of the pressure plate 15 corresponds to the constant radius of the section of the contact surface 20 of the first conveyor plate 16.
In addition or alternatively, according to the invention, the angular position of the first and second transfer disks 16, 17 can be variably adjusted, in particular during operation of the transfer device, or the drive of the first and second transfer disks 16, 17 relative to one another can be adjusted in a rotating manner as a function of the variably adjustable angle. The rotational speeds of the respective delivery tray and press tray are preferably of the same magnitude.
The variably adjustable angular position of the first and second transfer trays 16, 17 allows the orientation of the rod-shaped articles relative to the longitudinal axis or the longitudinal axis of the transport to be changed during the transfer of the rod-shaped articles. The front part of the rod-shaped articles 11 can thus be deflected further in the transverse axial direction than the rear part when they are transferred into the cross conveyor 13, for example by the downstream conveyor rollers being advanced by some angle. A very economical transfer of the rod-shaped articles into the cross conveyor or into the receiving section 33 of the cross conveyor 13 can thereby be adjusted. The most economical movement path can be set very effectively by adjusting the angular position of the transfer trays relative to each other or by adjusting the time period during which the rod-shaped articles are moved laterally or along the transverse axis by the first transfer tray 16 or the second transfer tray 17.
fig. 2 shows schematically in a schematic three-dimensional view a further embodiment of a transfer device 10 according to the invention, which comprises an accelerator disk pair 14 comprising a pressure disk 15 and a first transfer disk 16. Also shown is a second conveyor tray 17, which is arranged downstream of said first conveyor tray 16. The longitudinal conveyors 12 and the transverse conveyors 13 are removed here for illustration. The transport direction of the longitudinal conveyor 12 is indicated schematically by the arrow region of the rod-shaped articles 11. The direction of rotation of these discs 15, 16, 17 is also arranged on the corresponding disc. The pressure plate 15 has a recess or hollow space 32 in order to counteract possible imbalances.
The contact surfaces 20 and 20' are also shown in brief. These contact surfaces 20 and 20 'are correspondingly designed in a curved, preferably semicircular manner, in order to be able to achieve an economical reception of rod-shaped articles 11, 11' which are circular in cross section. Here, the first section of the contact surface 20 of the first transfer plate 16 with a constant radius and the contact surface 20 of the press plate 15 serve to slightly grip the rod-shaped articles 11 and accordingly accelerate them in the longitudinal axial direction. The rod-shaped articles arranged between the first conveyor tray and the press tray 15 are removed in fig. 2 for clarity. The next rod-shaped article 11 conveyed by the longitudinal conveyor 12 is then gripped by the accelerator tray pair 14 and accelerated in the longitudinal axial direction, so that the section whose radius becomes larger in an increasing manner, which subsequently passes through the contact surface 20 or 20' of the first and second conveyor trays 16, 17, is also subjected to a transverse axial movement component.
Fig. 3 schematically shows the first conveyance tray 16 or the second conveyance tray 17 in a cross-sectional view. A contact surface 20 can be identified which has a corresponding first radius which is constant in the region of a first section 21 representing the larger section from the first imaginary line up to the second imaginary line. The radius here has a small radius r1. Up to the outermost periphery, a corresponding curved surface is provided in order to optimally receive a rod-shaped article which is correspondingly circular, for example in cross section. Also shown is a second section 22 having a radius r2The radius increases in fig. 3 from the dashed line shown to the right in fig. 3 up to the dashed line pointing upwards. With increasing radius r2Extends over an angular width 25 of substantially 78 deg..
Fig. 4 shows a schematic top view onto a further embodiment of a transfer device according to the invention. In this exemplary embodiment, a further pressing plate 28 is provided, which is brought into operative connection with the second feed plate 17 in a pressing region 30, so that the accelerator plate pair 29 formed from the second feed plate 17 and the pressing plate 28 also imparts a movement component in the longitudinal axial direction to the rod-shaped articles 11'. Thereby, an economical acceleration in the longitudinal axial direction is possible. The pressing area 30 is arranged over an angular width 31. A very large recess of the pressing plate 28 is also provided, i.e. 360 ° minus the angular width 31. This is a void of approximately 270 ° angular width. Whereby the rod-shaped article 11 is divided into a plurality of parts moving in the transverse axial directionquantity v2There is no obstacle in moving.
Fig. 5 schematically shows an embodiment of the transfer device according to fig. 4 in a transfer phase of the advancement of the rod-shaped articles 11. Here by means of the radius r present in the second section 22 of the first and second transfer trays 16, 17 changing in the circumferential direction2The rod-shaped article 11' has been introduced with a transverse axial movement component v2. The provision of the recesses in the pressure plate 15 and the pressure plate 28 causes these to occur without colliding with the pressure plate 15 or 28.
Fig. 6 schematically shows a more advanced state of the transfer rod shaped article 11' compared to fig. 5. The rod-shaped articles 11' are released from the transfer trays 16 and 17 and either move freely floating on the transfer path or are preferably already partially inserted into the illustrated cross conveyor 13. The rod-shaped article 11' is shortly before being gripped by the pair of accelerator disks 14 in order to be accelerated accordingly.
All the aforementioned features, as well as features which can be taken only from the drawings, and also features which are disclosed in combination with other features, are considered to be the gist of the present invention, both individually and in combination. Embodiments according to the present invention may be implemented by individual features or a combination of features. Within the framework of the invention, features indicated by "in particular" or "preferably" are understood as optional features.
