Packing machine

The present invention relates to a machine for. automatic packaging of stick-like objects such as cigarettes,

A number of machines are currently available to make a To use a set number of cigarettes in a pack, which consists of an aluminum foil and an outer one Wrapping is made of paper or cardboard »These machines have so far been sufficient in the cigarette industry because their Speed of manufacturing such packaging far exceeded the speed at which individual cigarette machines the cigarettes could produce. With the increased production costs,

in particular the wages is jeäocti increasingly the 'demand occurred, I iaschinen each type to have available that productivity' were able to expand and drive down unit costs and di. There were ^{Zigarettehher-:>: s} 3tellungsmaschinen developed with very high output rates, which to three times as the previously known machines afford the Doppelbe. These machines, however, offer only a very limited portion of the door on their own because they take up too much of the capacity of the packaging machines currently in use and therefore require large quantities of cigarettes to be stacked and stored until a packaging machine becomes free. To take them in »This is already detrimental because, as many cigarette manufacturers know and fear, the cigarettes lose some of their freshness in taste and aroma when they are stacked for a long time. On the other hand, the installation of additional packaging machines is of no use either, since this would in no way reduce the unit costs but actually increase it. For this reason it is necessary to have new packaging machines with increased capacity and higher speed available, which can keep up with the automation Sohritt, which has occurred in other regrets of the cigarette industry.

The invention has therefore set itself the task of providing a novel packaging magazines for cigarettes from sQhaff @ n,

which is able to handle a large number of packs to be produced in the unit of time, whereby the individual production speed may be relatively low, possibly even smaller than current machines, but at the same time as the overall production speed on packaging is very high »These measures make the manufacturing reliability and uniformity of the finished packaging ensured despite the high overall production speed. One Another requirement underlying the invention was to create a device which allowed to change the number and size of the cigarettes which are to be accommodated in a pack.

To solve this problem is according to the invention a Device proposed which a first rotatable endless conveyor with a plurality of individual successive containers, one of which each can hold a closely stacked group of cigarettes to be packaged, as well as a second rotatable endless conveyor made up of a plurality of individual sequential packaging devices consistsι each of which has means for forming an envelope, which is a group of To take cigarettes in the ÜJage is in a container the first conveyor are included. The two conveyors move side on Side around an Iromme device in a plane in which

Γ / 61589

Each container of the first conveyor in series with the packaging device of the second conveyor is «The drum is provided with devices, for axially transferring each group of cigarettes from a container of the first conveyor into a wrapper, which in a package manufacturing facility the second transport facility has been trained.

Before moving around the drum, each container passes a cigarette filling device, which automatically one feeds the desired number of cigarettes to be packaged, while the conveying device, which has the packaging-making devices, rounds before the movement around the drum cooperates with one or more distribution devices, which each packaging manufacturing device supplies the packaging material required to produce the packs «

The cigarette pack is made from the individual packaging manufacturing devices ejected and can be sent to another device, e.g. another conveyor which carries out the necessary additional operations on the packaging, such as the Bundling a large number of packs in one carton.

Using a schematic in the figures of the drawing illustrated preferred embodiment, which

but not in the sense of a limitation of the invention should be understood, the invention is to be explained in more detail below with further features. It shows:

Figure 1 is a side view of a cigarette making machine according to the invention;

Figure 2 is an axial section along the line II -II the arrangement of Figure 1 through the drum, around which two endless rotatable chains run;

Figure 3 is an end view of the paper feed part of the device along a section III - III in Figure 1 ·, - ■■■■■■■

Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings show in more or less schematic form the cigarette packaging machine which includes a first rotatable endless chain conveyor 1 which is arranged substantially horizontally and a second rotatable endless chain conveyor 2 which is arranged substantially vertically. Each of the two chains 1, 2 is rotated about a corresponding toothed wheel 103 and. The gears are coaxially fastened in one piece on a bush 4, which generally also forms a single drum 3, which is mounted freely rotatable about a feet · horizontal axis 5. The conveyor belt 1 should also rotate around at least one reversing wheel 6 so as to form a horizontal upper branch. The conveyor belt 2 runs around the reversing wheel 7 _f which is arranged essentially vertically above the drum 3, so that the belt is vertical

109828/0801

is directed to volume 1.

Although a horizontal / vertical arrangement is shown in the present embodiment, the Conveyor belts 1 and 2 have any course and can also be more or less inclined to one another, without thereby affecting the scope of the present invention would leave

Because of their common connection with the drum 3, the two endless chains 1 and 2 run continuously with the same uniform speed in the direction of the arrows indicated in FIG. Any of them can be Drive units are used, which in Figure t is represented by a motor 104 which rotates the bushing.

The horizontal conveyor belt 1 carries a plurality of successive Containers 8, which consist of boxes that are open at the top and at the sides. Even before that Conveyor belt 1 rotates around drum 3, the containers run S in the area of the upper branch of the conveyor belt under a cigarette feeder 9, which each container 8 feeds a group of closely stacked cigarettes, which are then packaged should be.

The feed device 9 can be configured in any suitable manner.

be educated. In the illustrated embodiment each container 8 is in two or more compartments divided which side by side transverse to the conveyor belt 1 are arranged and each have a vertical stack from horizontally lined up cigarettes can. The feed device 9 contains a! Filling funnel 10, which extends along the upper horizontal branch of the conveyor belt 1 and that in its lower part is divided into three successive hopper 110, 210 and 310. The bottom of each of the hopper 110, 210 and consists of a large number of essentially η perpendicular Manifolds 11, in each of which a number of horizontally stacked cigarettes are arranged, which are oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt 1 «.

.If a container 8 of the conveyor belt 1 is below the first Filling funnel 110 is guided past the filling device 9, each bottom channel 11 of the hopper 110 provides one Cigarette in the same compartment, e.g. in the first compartment of container 8. If this or container 8 on its further Way under the second hopper 210 of the filling device passes, a cigarette is correspondingly from each bottom channel 11 of this filling funnel 210 in a another compartment, for example in the second compartment of the Container 8 fed. The same process is repeated from the third hopper in the third compartment of the container 8,

■ 10 9P-2-97 OeO-1

so that after passing the filling device 9 all three Compartments of each container are filled with a set number of horizontally stacked cigarettes are, which form a seamlessly lined up group of cigarettes that are to be packaged together.

The vertical conveyor belt. 2 carries a set of successive package-making devices 12, each of which includes devices for forming an empty box or packaging, which are open on one side to receive the group of cigarettes to be packaged, which has been assembled in the associated container 8 of the first conveyor belt 1 . Each device 12 for producing a package includes a tubular box or. '. Shaft 112 of rectangular cross-section which is open at both ends to hold a package. The longitudinal; acluje the shaft 112 is directed transversely to the corresponding conveyor belt 2, the shaft being mounted so as to: _-; that «he can rotate freely about this axis with respect to the device 12 for manufacturing the package. Furthermore, each device 12 for producing a package includes means for taking one or more labels from suitable distributors and wrapping them around the shaft 12, one end of this box being folded so that the desired package shape with an open one End arises.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, there is each

109828/0801

1761689

Packaging made of an inner envelope, made of an aluminum foil or the like and an outer paper wrapper. In order to form these envelopes, there is a feeding device in the. Area of - in relation to the direction of movement - ascending branch of the conveyor belt 2 provided after it has left the drum 3. The feed device 20 supplies each device 12 for producing a pack with a film strip, which is cut in the appropriate length from a continuous strip that in turn comes from one of the two gate roll 21 or 121. This foil strip becomes the corresponding shaft 112 laterally fed and gripped by suitable carrying devices and holding devices, which are part of the Device 12 form and wrap around as a result of the rotation of the shaft. the tubular box 112. This is a the top surfaces of the inner envelope against the corresponding Sealed at the end of the shaft.

In the area of the same ascending branch of the conveyor belt 2, but above the foil belt feed device 20, another feed device 22 is arranged, which feeds the corresponding paper tape for the outer wrapping to each device 12 for producing a package. The paper, like the inner film, can be cut off from a continuous strip or it can also already be in the form of pieces of the appropriate length. When the outer paper wrapping pieces

109828/0801

-10.-

are already in pre-cut form, they are removed from a suitable magazine 122 and how is shown in Figure 3, the device 12 is supplied. Each paper tape is around the shaft 112 over the inner Foil wrapping wrapped on the Y / eg from the Zu_ feed device 20 to feed device 22 has been formed is. The outer paper tape is similarly with the cooperation of the holding elements and the rotation of the 'Shaft 112 wrapped over this like the inner sheathing. In addition, the partial sealing of the outer envelope made on the same side in which the inner foil envelope has been previously sealed.

In this way, a package is formed in each device 12 for producing a package, while the Wave 112 rises up on conveyor belt 2 · Each wrapping has a closed and an open end, the latter lying on the side of the shaft 112 which is in the region of the Drum 3 is opposite the conveyor belt 1 with the containers 8. The folding of the partially closed covers is completed by means 23 carried by the diverter wheel, compressing the packages to reduce their thickness and make them easier to close. Those formed around shaft 112 Packages are then not subjected to any further operation on the descending branch of conveyor belt 1 « The time they need on this path allows one

109828/0801 - 11 -

Drying the adhesives.

From the above it has become clear that every container contains a closely lined-up group of cigarettes to be packaged when it reaches the drum 3 while the Wave 112 carries a packaging open on one side " Although the exact number of containers 8 and shafts 112; is not critical, but their number must be in a certain amount Ratio to each other be chosen so that the distances between successive shafts 112 correspond to the distances between successive containers 8. As a result each container 8 is aligned with a shaft 112 in the area of the drum 3 * common to the two conveyor belts 1 and 2 and remains in this aligned position for so long both run around the drum 3 (see Figure 2). . " In this position of relative immobility between Containers 8 and shafts 112 can hold the group of cigarettes axially displaced into the shaft 112 and then on the opposite side together with the casing, which was previously formed on it, will be ejected. This is done as follows: The conveyor belts 1 and and their corresponding wheels 103 and 203 are each other not directly adjacent to the drum 3, but through an entrance of compressor pockets 14 and a hing of expanding tubular connecting pieces 13 are separated. The connecting parts 13 and the compressor pockets are coaxial one behind the other between the containers 8 and the Shafts 112 arranged on the rotating drum 3. As in

109 8 28/0801

FIG. 2 shows the connecting parts 13 and the compressors 14 by two corresponding one-piece * Wheels 113 and 114 formed on the socket 4 are supported.

The! Compressox pockets 14 'essentially their shape corresponds to the shape of the cigarette pack are designed so that they are easy to pack from all sides Squeeze cigarette group while the cigarettes go through them be transported from the container into the pack.

The device for the axial displacement of the groups of cigarettes from the reservoir 8 into the shafts 112 includes a hollow drum 15 * which is integrally connected coaxially with the drum 3 _f so that they with this rotates around the fixed shaft. 5 The drum 15 is arranged on the side of the gear wheel 103 remote from the connecting parts 13 and the compressor pockets 14 and contains an elongated slide 16 which can be displaced in fixed guides 17 forwards and backwards in the axial direction. Each slide 16 consists of a set of parallel and evenly spaced bars, the number and cross-sectional profile of which corresponds to the number and profile of the individual compartments of each container 8 Groove 118 of a cylindrical control cam protrudes, which in turn is fastened inside the drum 15 on the fixed shaft 5. The cylindrical control cam 18 caused as a result of

109828/0801

- 13 -

relative movement of the drum 3 on which the slide is attached, opposite the shaft 5 »on which the control cam is mounted, an axial movement of the Slide 16.

In the rest position are those by the control cam 18 actuated slide 16 inside the drum In this position they do not protrude over the gear and consequently do not extend into the path of the chain 1. This position is in the upper part of FIG shown. After the containers 8 have been aligned with the tubular connecting parts 13, the compressor pockets H and the shafts 112, the groove 114 causes the slide 16 to move forward is shown in the lower part of FIG. The parallel Bars of the slide 16 enter the individual compartments of the container 8 and move the cigarettes contained therein via the connecting parts 13 through the corresponding compressor pocket H and through shaft 112, with all displacement occurring during the time in which the individually marked parts run around the drum 3 without moving relative to one another.

The group of cigarettes, which by the slide 16 from Container 8 over the narrowing intermediate part 13 in the compressor pocket 14 is subject to during the short dwell time in this compressor pocket 14 one

109828/0801

slight transverse compression. The cigarettes then enter shaft 112 through the open side of the package a. As a result, the pack is from the shaft 112 on the opposite side deported. Subsequently, the slide 16 is pushed through the groove on the control cam 18 in returned to its rest position before the container. 8 and the associated packaging devices 12 differ from the Remove drum 3 on its horizontal or vertical path.

The pack ejected from each device 12 for producing a packaging is fed directly to a device which is mounted on the drum 3 and which closes the other end and applies the sealing stamp or a corresponding adhesive mark. This device consists of a disk 24 which is integrally formed on the socket 4 and has its periphery on a ring of elements 25, each of which is provided with four housings. Each element 25 is axially behind a compressor base 14 and one. . Intermediate piece 13 arranged. The four enclosures each "* Elements 25 are arranged crosswise so that their open ends protrude outwards, each housing being designed so that it can accommodate a pack of cigarettes. Each element 25 can also be rotated intermittently mounted about a central transverse axis so that each of the four housings is successively coaxial with the associated one Compressor asohe 14 to the connecting part 13 and accordingly

t 0 9 8 2 β / 0 8 0 1 ^{BAD 0RiG! NAL}

also aligned with device 12 and container 8 can be (see Figure 2).

The expelled by the slide 16 from the device 12 The cigarette pack is placed in one of the housings of the corresponding cross element 25 in the axial direction introduced. The open end of the pack is then closed by suitable folding devices. Before the drum 3 and accordingly the disk 24 executes a full revolution, the cross element 25 rotates through 90 ° in the direction of the arrow about its axis, so that the housing with the package is directed away from the packaging device 12 upwards is. In this rotated position, an adhesive mark is applied to the outer end of the pack, with the adhesive label is removed from a suitable filling device, folded and brought about by suitable measures is going to stick on the pack.

The cross element 25 then rotates further by 90 ° in the same Direction as before, so that the case with the pack is aligned parallel to the axis of the drum 3, wherein however, this time the open end faces outwards, i.e. on the side which the device 12 for producing the Packaging is turned away. In this position the cigarette will completely closed and fitted with the flap, whereupon it can be opened by means of suitable attached slide is ejected. The outcast

This device consists of a photocell 27 (FIG. 5) which is located on one side of the belt 2 between the FoIienzuführeinrichtung 20 and the outer Paper strip feed device 22 is arranged and cooperates with a light source 28, which on the opposite Side of the conveyor belt 2 is arranged «

The light source 28 radiates transversely to the conveyor belt 2 and coaxial with shaft 112 which passes this detector. The detector for the film envelope additionally contains two electrically conductive strips 40, which extend into the outer one Engage the surface of the shaft 112. When the film is wrapped around the tubular box 112 and drilled as before, is closed at one end, the strips 40 speak to the electrical conductivity of the sheath and consequently to the fact that the sheath is regular with a film on, while the light beam from the source 28 passes through the closed end of the envelope is interrupted and thus the photocell 27 is no longer irradiated. If both conditions are met, the

When the _{Folienumhüllungf:} EHLT, so 40 stripping-showing the electrical conductivity of the tubular carton 112, however, the Iichtguelle 28 radiates in the axial direction by the shaft 112 /, and thus indicates an error in the package, which prevents the feeding device 22 "is pressed..,

The above-mentioned double detector also prevents a double outer paper label in the event that the tubular box 112 is completely wrapped because the cigarettes have been previously ejected. In this case, although the light beam from the light source 28 is interrupted, the strips 40 do not report any electrical conductivity as a result of the insulating properties of the outer paper layer and, accordingly, not all conditions are present which are necessary for a new one. _; . feed outer paper web.

At this point it should be noted that the magazine of the outer paper wrapper feeder 22 can be refilled manually while the machine is running is in operation, so that these paper webs in general will be present «However, it can happen that the devices which remove the paper strips from the magazine take out, do not work properly, so that

109828/0801 o _fflG «A _L i _NS?

no paper web is fed to the device 12 for producing a package. For this purpose, the paper envelope is examined after the feed device 22. The examination is carried out by means of two contact strips 40 / ^r which engage in the outer surface of the box 112. If there is no electrically conductive connection between these strips 40, which indicates that an insulating paper layer is present, a signal is given to the photoelectric device 29, which allows the cigarette feeder to fill the container 8 of the chain 1, which when rotating the drum 3 is assigned to the package just inspected. In the other case, when there is an electrical connection between the strips 40, which indicates that there is no outer paper wrapping, no signal is emitted to the photoelectric device 29, so that the corresponding container 8 is not filled with cigarettes from the cigarette feeder 9 .

The photoelectric device 29 is with an associated light source in the region of the descending branch of the conveyor belt 2 arranged. The arrangement is similar to that of the photocell 27 and its associated light source 28. If the shaft 112 is a complete enclosure or also has only one envelope with the inner film, the photoelectric cell 29 is due to its associated light source not illuminated because one end of the shaft 112 through the

If, he not from the area of the slide 16 in its original. the initial position is withdrawn, the feeler prevents the forward movement of the slide 16. A lock the axial forward movement of the slide 16 can also be caused by the fact that the End detector 36 has detected missing cigarettes or cigarettes with soft ends in corresponding containers 8 or by influencing the device 29 as a result the absence of an outer paper envelope, where devices other than those shown can also be used for this purpose.

If the envelope in the device 12 (which is monitored by the photocell 29) contains an outer paper envelope, the sensor 216 (which has been brought into its active position, however, due to the fact that the associated slide has been applied and one has left empty pack on the shaft, has not been withdrawn) that a new film is fed from the feed device 20. If the packaging is incomplete, in other words if it consists only of the inner foil envelope, the sensor prevents (which in this case also is brought into its active position

but due to the fact that the axial slide 16 has not moved forward has been switched off), likewise a film feed from the feed device 20 «die in the feed device 20 prepared film strips are therefore rejected by the same institutions which prevent the ends of the supply reels 21 and 121 from acting during their replacement. The presence of the foil wrapping on the tubular shaft 112, as indicated by the photocell 127 and the associated As indicated by tails tripping, the feeder 22 allows the outer paper wrapper to be fed.

From the above it can be seen that an inventive Device is capable of producing accurate and effective cigarette packages at high speed and Produce a large number of items per unit of time Wrapping of packaging is a requirement which make it possible to manufacture a large number of packages simultaneously or successively while the movement of both the cigarettes and the packs together around a drum is considerably more substantial Long · cause in which there is practically no relative movement between them, so that the cigarettes are extraordinary Can be used in your packs in a controlled manner by changing the number of containers
