Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for supplying cigarettes to a packaging station of a cigarette packaging machine with a shaft which is divided by partitions into individual guide channels for cigarettes arranged one above the other, with sensors assigned to each guide channel for checking the quality of the cigarette in front of the sensor a rotatable cigarette transfer device having recesses, with an ejection device which is controlled by the sensors in such a way that defective cigarettes are ejected from the cigarette transfer device, and with guide channels arranged below the cigarette transfer device.
  • Such a device is known from EP-A-0 100 537, in which a shaft is subdivided into individual guide channels by partition walls, a sensor for quality inspection of the cigarettes being arranged in each guide channel, and a roller is also arranged below each in the respective guide channel is, which is provided with two opposite recesses for one cigarette.
  • the rollers transfer the individual cigarettes from the upper section of the respective guide channel into its lower section, and if a defective cigarette is present, it is blown out of the corresponding trough by a pneumatic ejection device during the rotation of the roll, so that the defective cigarette reaches the sections below of the guide channel cannot reach.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device of the type mentioned, which is structurally simple and ensures the delivery of a sufficient amount of non-defective cigarettes.
  • the cigarette transfer device is a step-by-step rotating transfer wheel which has groups of axial receiving troughs on the outer circumference, the guide channels of the shaft opening corresponding to the receiving troughs over the outer circumference of the transfer wheel, that a retaining device which is activated during the rotation of the transfer wheel closes the guide channels, or a slide which pushes the lowest position of the cigarettes from the shaft into the transfer wheel while the transfer wheel is at a standstill, and that a cigarette funnel is arranged between the transfer wheel and the guide channels.
  • the cigarettes are received in groups at the lower end of the guide channels by groups of receiving troughs of a transfer wheel which is rotated intermittently so that defective cigarettes can be ejected in a standstill position of the transfer wheel, while the remaining non-defective cigarettes fall into a cigarette funnel arranged below the transfer wheel , which is carried out in the usual way and from which the non-defective cigarettes are then removed to form cigarette layers and cigarette blocks.
  • the cigarettes located at the lower end of the guide channels of the shaft are retained by a retaining device, so that the transfer wheel can be rotated to the next position in which the next group of receiving troughs is arranged below the guide channels, whereupon the retaining device is deactivated is so that the bottom cigarette can be picked up from the corresponding receiving troughs of the guide wheel from all guide channels.
  • Such a device can also be easily retrofitted to conventional cigarette funnels.
  • the device shown comprises a feed belt 10; a feed hopper 12 is fed across the cigarettes 11 transversely to their axial direction.
  • a shaft 13 which is divided by partition walls 14 into individual guide channels 15, each guide channel 15 having a width corresponding to the cigarette diameter and a depth corresponding to the cigarette length, so that in each guide channel 15 the cigarettes 11 are individually arranged one above the other in a row are.
  • two sensors 17 are arranged in the wall of the shaft 13, which are used to check the cigarette 11, which is axially aligned with it.
  • the sensors 17 are optical sensors.
  • the sensors 17 are arranged in such a way that the cigarettes successively come into an axially aligned position with the sensors 17, etc. Fig. 2.
  • a transfer wheel 18 which has receiving troughs 19 arranged on its outer circumference in the axial direction, which are arranged in groups in a number corresponding to the number of guide channels 15.
  • the receiving troughs 19 have a depth which corresponds to the diameter of the cigarettes 11.
  • the guide channels 15 of the shaft 13 open out over the outer circumference of the transfer wheel 18 corresponding to the receiving troughs 19.
  • the transfer wheel 18 is coupled to a stepping drive, so that in the embodiment shown it is incremented by 90 ° by the stepping drive.
  • the transfer wheel 18 If the transfer wheel 18 has received cigarettes 11 from the guide channels 15 via a group of receiving troughs 19, it is switched through 90 °, in which position ejectors 20 then eject defective cigarettes.
  • the ejectors 20 are coupled to the sensors 17 in such a way that the respective sensor 17, which detects a defective cigarette 11, controls the corresponding ejector 20, so that the latter ejects the defective cigarette 11.
  • the ejectors 20 can be ejectors or pneumatic ejectors that blow out the defective cigarettes, or the like.
  • the non-defective cigarettes 11 remain in the receiving troughs 19 of the transfer wheel 18 and fall the next time the transfer wheel 18 is advanced by 90 ° into a cigarette funnel 21 which is arranged below the transfer wheel 18. From there, the cigarettes 11 enter a shaft 24, which is divided into partitions 22 by guide walls 23 and from which individual layers of cigarettes are removed by means of an ejector 25. At the entrance of the funnel-shaped shaft 24, vibrating rollers 26 are also arranged, which also facilitate the separation of the cigarettes 11 for entry into the guide channels 23.
  • a schematically illustrated retaining device 27 is used to hold back the cigarettes 11 in the guide channels 15 while the transfer wheel 18 is shifted forward, so that when the transfer wheel 18 is shifted forward, the successive receiving troughs 19 do not move out of the first guide channel 15 in the direction of rotation and therefore not out of the other guide channels 15 Cigarettes are filled, but that the retaining device 27 only releases the feed channels 15 when it is ensured that a cigarette is removed from all guide channels 15 in a receiving trough 19 of the transfer wheel 18 underneath.
  • the retaining device can be designed as a fork-shaped lever 28, the side facing the shaft 13 is curved in accordance with the radius of the transfer wheel 18, while the articulation point 29 of the lever 28 is arranged such that this circularly curved side of the lever 28 between a position in which the circularly curved side of the lever 28 rests on the underside of the guide channels 15 and therefore closes them, and a position can be pivoted in which the lever 28, which is the underside of the shaft 13, is pivoted away and the receiving troughs 19 of the transfer wheel 18 are released, so that the Cigarettes can enter the receiving troughs 19.
  • the groups of receiving troughs 19 are separated from one another by a circular section 30, the length of which corresponds to the length of the circular section on which a group of receiving troughs 19 is arranged. If the sections 30 were to be shorter in order to obtain a smaller transfer wheel 18, the lever 28 would be designed in such a way that it progressively closes the guide channels 15 at their lower end.
  • the retaining device 27 can also consist of (optionally fork-shaped) circular segments corresponding to the number of groups of receiving troughs 19, the circular segments being spring-biased to the axis of rotation of the transfer wheel 18 and being cam-controlled in such a way that when the transfer wheel 18 is switched on, the circular segment reaching the area of the guide channels 15 is pressed outward against the spring preload so that it is aligned with the outer circumference of the transfer wheel 18 and in this way can close the guide channels 15 until the transfer wheel comes to a standstill, whereupon the corresponding circular segment is returned to its retracted initial position by the spring force, so that in each case a cigarette 11 can each come from a guide channel 15 into a receiving recess 19 of the transfer wheel 18.
  • the cigarettes 11 can be mechanically held on the way from the guide channels 15 to the funnel 21 along the ejectors 20 by an arcuate wall 31 in the receiving troughs 19 which extend from the shaft 13 to the funnel 21.
  • the receiving troughs 19 can also be acted upon by suction air and held in this way, it then being possible in particular in the delivery position of the receiving troughs 19 above the funnel 21 to switch off only the suction air for the non-defective cigarettes 11, so that they enter the funnel 21 fall, while the defective cigarettes 11 fall out of the receiving troughs 19 in one of the two further positions of the transfer degree 18 by switching off the suction air, in order then to be removed. In this case, switching off the suction air is used to eject defective cigarettes.
  • a fill level controller 32 which causes the transfer wheel 18 to be operated to supply further cigarettes when the fill level indicated thereby falls below.
  • the shaft 13 and the cigarette funnel 21 are arranged offset from one another by approximately one cigarette length, a reciprocating slide 33 being arranged on the bottom side of the shaft 13 and being curved in accordance with the radius of the transfer wheel 18 and pushes the lowest layer of cigarettes 11 out of the shaft 13 into the transfer wheel 18 located above the cigarette funnel 21, so that the cigarettes 11 in the receiving troughs 19 of the transfer wheel 18 do not have to be turned away under the pressing cigarettes 11 in the shaft 13.
  • the number of guide channels 15 in the shaft 13 can be greater than the number of those in the shaft 24, so that it is possible to let the transfer wheel 18 run correspondingly slowly. If the cigarette funnel 21 is made correspondingly wide, two or more transfer wheels 18 with corresponding associated shafts 13 can also be provided, so that additional time is available for checking and ejecting.
