Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for forming cigarette groups to be packaged, consisting of several superimposed cigarette layers, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device for forming cigarette groups in which a bar is provided which is at a distance from the uppermost layer of the cigarette layers, so that the cigarettes can shift in the receptacles of the conveyor chain. Since the conveyor chain is driven step by step, the ingested cigarettes are subject to shock movements, so that the insertion of a layer of cigarettes by existing cigarettes and the transport of the cigarette groups into a package are impeded and can lead to malfunctions.
  • DE-PS 20 30 165 a device is provided in which the bar is movable by means of cams in such a way that the bar is lowered onto the cells during the movement of the conveyor chain, moved in the conveying direction and when the conveyor chain is at a standstill is lifted off and moved back.
  • a rectangular movement is very complex and a considerable mass has to be moved.
  • a chamber conveyor is provided, the entire chamber of which is provided with a movable chamber cover, which in each case is to be guided into the corresponding position for receiving a cigarette layer.
  • a chamber conveyor is provided, the entire chamber of which is provided with a movable chamber cover, which in each case is to be guided into the corresponding position for receiving a cigarette layer.
  • a device according to the preamble of claim 1 is known, in which the cells of the cell conveyor are slotted in the conveying direction for unhindered passage in the area of the holding bar and the holding bar in the area of the outlets following the first outlet in the conveying direction is interrupted.
  • Holding elements which can be moved up and down are provided in these outlet areas and can be adjusted by approximately the height of a cigarette layer.
  • this construction is also complex, and a relatively large minimum distance between the outlets is required, which requires a corresponding cell spacing and thus a relatively long cell conveyor.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device according to the preamble of claim 1, which enables a safe and gentle absorption of the cigarette layers and is structurally very simple.
  • a continuous fixed retaining strip which is provided with tongues in the area of the corresponding outlets of the magazine, which tongues extend across the width of the outlet in the conveying direction and are arranged at a height. that they extend the section of the holding bar preceding in the conveying direction, so that the already inserted (n) cigarette layer (s) are securely held in the outlet area by the tongues, while the tongues with the holding bar limit a receiving area for the newly inserted cigarette layer.
  • the newly inserted layer of cigarettes then lies on the respective tongue and is secured from above by the retaining bar.
  • the retaining strip in the regions adjoining the tongues in the conveying direction is beveled in accordance with the distance of the cigarette layer on the tongue and its final position when the cigarettes of the individual cigarette layers are offset in the direction of the cells.
  • the device shown comprises a feed hopper 1 with a plurality of outlets 2, which are formed by a mouthpiece 3 of the feed hopper 1 and are arranged horizontally at a distance from one another.
  • a feed hopper 1 with a plurality of outlets 2, which are formed by a mouthpiece 3 of the feed hopper 1 and are arranged horizontally at a distance from one another.
  • To each outlet 2 lead a plurality of shafts separated by partitions 1a, which are provided on the input side with vibrating rollers 1b.
  • three outlets 2 can be pushed through the outlets 2 in each case into a cell 6 opposite the corresponding outlet 2 by means of corresponding tappets 5.
  • the cells 6 are arranged on a cell belt 7 at a distance from one another.
  • the cell belt 7, like the plunger 5, is advanced by one step each by means of a stepping drive, not shown.
  • outlets 2 are separated from one another by one step each in the conveying direction 8 of the cell belt 7 and are furthermore offset in the conveying direction 8 by approximately one thickness of a cigarette ply 4.
  • a fixed holding bar 9 which in the conveying direction 8 initially has a section 9a which is arranged at a distance from the bottom 6a of the cells 6 at a distance from a cigarette layer 4 and over the bottom of the first outlet 2 to the second in the conveying direction 8 Outlet 2 extends.
  • the retaining bar 9 Owns there the retaining bar 9 an upward step 9b, while the section 9a is continued by a tongue 9c across the width of the second outlet 2, the underside of which is flush with the underside of the section 9a, the retaining bar 9 with the tongue 9c in the region of the second Outlet 2 forms a receiving area for a further layer of cigarettes 4, in which the distance between the top of the tongue 9c and the underside of the retaining strip 9 corresponds approximately to the thickness of a layer of cigarettes 4.
  • the front and rear walls 6b and 6c of the cells 6, which are directed upward from the cell belt 7, have slots 10 which allow the cells 6 to pass through the area of the holding strip 9 without hindrance; in the illustrated embodiment, the slots 10 must have a depth of approximately two cigarette layers 4.
  • a layer of cigarettes is first inserted into the space between the bottom 6a of the cell 6 and the underside of the holding bar 9 in section 9a.
  • this cigarette layer 4 is secured by the section 9a and in the region of the second outlet 2 by the tongue 9c.
  • another layer of cigarettes 4 is inserted into the space between the tongue 9c and the underside of the retaining strip 9 in the cell 6.
  • the new cigarette layer 4 is pushed off the tongue 9c, the holding bar 9 being provided with a bevel 9d in the direction of the conveyor belt 7, so that the distance between the cigarette layers 4 due to the tongue 9c then removed is compensated and both cigarette layers 4 by the retaining bar 9 can be transported further secured.
  • the holding strip 9 is provided with a step 9b and a tongue 9c, which are offset upwards by approximately the thickness of a cigarette ply 4 with respect to the second outlet 2.
  • a slope 9d is also attached to the retaining bar 9. The holding bar 9 then extends at a constant distance from the conveyor belt 7 up to a transfer position of the cigarette group thus formed.
  • the holding strip 9 is expediently provided with a bevel 11 in the area of the outlets 2 on the inlet side of the cigarette layers 4.
  • the holding strip 9 can be designed as a double strip, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, a strip of the double strip being located adjacent to the inlet side of the cells 6.
  • the cells 6 are on the inside of the front and rear walls 6b and 6c in the area of the middle one Cigarette ply 4 webs 12 are arranged, which are conical on the inlet side in order to avoid interference when pushing the cigarette ply 4.
  • the distance between the cells 6 is only determined by the distance required between the individual outlets 2 and can therefore be kept to a minimum.
