Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Speicher für stabförmige Gegenstände, insbesondere Zigaretten, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a storage for rod-shaped objects, in particular cigarettes, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Speicher werden gewöhnlich im Zusammenhang mit Zigarettenherstellungs- und verpackungsanlagen verwendet, wobei ein solcher Speicher dazu dient, im Falle von Störungen im Bereich des Zigarettenpackers die von Zigarettenherstellungsaggregaten angelieferten Zigaretten aufzunehmen und zwischenzuspeichern, bis die Störung am Zigarettenpacker behoben ist. Hierbei werden die Zigaretten in den Speicher Ober Förderbänder zu dessen Auslauf am unteren Ende des Speichers über einen zickzackförmigen Aufnahmebereich des Speichers gefördert. An den jeweiligen Umlenkabschnitten des zickzackförmigen Aufnahmebereits bewegen sich die Zigaretten durch Schwerkrafteinwirkung abwärts in den darunterliegenden Förderkanal, in dem sie durch die Förderbänder weiterbewegt werden. Tritt nun eine größere Lücke zwischen den Zigaretten im Aufnahmebereich des Speichers auf, gelangt diese Lücke auch in die Umlenkabschnitte, wodurch diese geleert werden und die nachfolgenden Zigaretten im Bereich des Umlenkabschnittes in den darunter befindlichen Förderkanal herunterfallen können. Dies ist jedoch unerwünscht, da sich hierbei Zigaretten querlegen und so zu Störungen Anlaß geben können.Such memories are usually used in connection with cigarette manufacturing and packaging systems, such a memory being used in the event of malfunctions in the area of the cigarette packer to record and temporarily store the cigarettes delivered by cigarette manufacturing units until the malfunction in the cigarette packer is eliminated. In this case, the cigarettes are conveyed into the store via conveyor belts for their discharge at the lower end of the store via a zigzag-shaped receiving area of the store. At the respective deflection sections of the zigzag-shaped receptacle, the cigarettes move downward by gravity into the conveyor channel below, in which they are moved further by the conveyor belts. If a larger gap now occurs between the cigarettes in the receiving area of the storage device, this gap also reaches the deflection sections, as a result of which these are emptied and the subsequent cigarettes in the area of the deflection section can fall down into the conveying channel located below. However, this is undesirable, since cigarettes lay across them and can give rise to malfunctions.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Speicher nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zu schaffen, bei dem vermieden wird, daß Zigaretten im Umlenkabschnitt zwischen zwei übereinander befindlichen Förderkanälen des Speichers herunterfallen können.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a memory according to the preamble of claim 1, in which it is avoided that cigarettes in Deflection section can fall between two superimposed conveyor channels of the storage.

Diese Aufgabe wird entsprechend dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in accordance with the characterizing part of claim 1.

Hierdurch wird bewirkt, daß die Zigaretten im Umlenkabschnitt zwischen zwei übereinander befindlichen Förderkanälen, wenn eine Lücke zwischen den Zigaretten auftritt, von Überführungselementen abgestützt und über den Umlenkabschnitt in den unteren Förderkanal heruntergetragen werden, so daß ein Herunterfallen der Zigaretten und eventuell damit verbundene Störungen vermieden werden.This has the effect that the cigarettes in the deflection section between two superposed conveying channels, if a gap between the cigarettes occurs, are supported by transfer elements and carried down over the deflecting section into the lower conveying channel, so that falling down of the cigarettes and any disturbances associated therewith are avoided .

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further embodiments of the invention can be found in the following description and the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand des in den beigefügten Abbildungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert,

  • Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch einen Speicher für Zigaretten.
  • Fig. 2 zeigt im Schnitt einen Umlenkabschnitt zwischen zwei übereinander befindlichen Förderkanälen des Speichers von Fig. 1.
The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of the exemplary embodiment illustrated in the attached figures,
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically a memory for cigarettes.
  • FIG. 2 shows in section a deflection section between two conveying channels of the storage unit from FIG. 1 located one above the other.

Der in Fig.1 dargestellte Speicher 1 besitzt einen Einlauf 2 an einem oberen Ende und einen Auslaß 3 an seiner Unterseite, wobei der Einlaß 2 mit dem Auslaß 3 durch einen L-förmigen Förderkanal 4 für den normalen Zigarettenfluß einerseits und über einen zickzackförmigen Aufnahmebereich andererseits, der das eigentliche Speichervolumen bildet, verbunden sind. Der zickzackförmige Aufnahmebereich besteht aus übereinander angeordneten Förderkanälen 5, die durch Umlenkabschnitte 6 paarweise miteinander verbunden sind. Der oberste Förderweg kann nach oben offen sein, wie in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt ist. Zwischen den Förderkanälen 5 sind Förderbänder 7 angeordnet, die um Umlenkrollen 8, 9 geführt sind. Hierbei sind die Umlenkrollen 9 auf einer etwa Ober ein Zahnrad 1o angetriebenen Welle 11 angeordnet. Sämtliche Rollen 9 werden über einen gemeinsamen, nicht dargestellten Antrieb angetrieben. Die Förderbänder 7 erstrecken sich über die Länge des jeweiligen Förderkanals 5 bis zu den Umlenkabschnitten 6, wobei jeweils ein Förderband einen Förderkanal 5 unterseitig und den darunter befindlichen Förderkanal 5 oberseitig begrenzt, so daß die in einem Förderkanal 5 befindlichen, in mehreren Schichten übereinander angeordneten Zigaretten 12, die die qesamte Höhe des Förderkanals 5 einnehmen, in Richtung zum Auslauf 3 des Speichers 1 durch den Untertrum eines Förderbandes 7 von der Oberseite her und durch den Obertrum eines darunter befindlichen Förderbandes 7, die in gleicher Richtung gemäß den Pfeilen 13 angetrieben sind, bewegt werden.1 has an inlet 2 at an upper end and an outlet 3 on its underside, the inlet 2 with the outlet 3 through an L-shaped delivery channel 4 for normal cigarette flow on the one hand and via a zigzag-shaped receiving area on the other , which forms the actual storage volume, are connected. The zigzag-shaped receiving area consists of conveying channels 5 arranged one above the other, which are connected to one another in pairs by deflecting sections 6. The uppermost conveying path can be open at the top, as shown in the exemplary embodiment shown. Conveyor belts 7 are arranged between the conveyor channels 5 and are guided around deflection rollers 8, 9. Here, the deflection rollers 9 are arranged on a shaft 11 which is driven approximately by a gear 10. All rollers 9 are driven by a common drive, not shown. The conveyor belts 7 extend over the length of the respective conveyor channel 5 to the deflection sections 6, with one conveyor belt delimiting a conveyor channel 5 on the underside and the conveyor channel 5 located underneath on the top side, so that the ones located in a conveyor channel 5 are arranged in several layers one above the other Cigarettes 12, which take up the entire height of the conveying channel 5, towards the outlet 3 of the store 1 through the lower run of a conveyor belt 7 from the top and through the upper run of a conveyor belt 7 located underneath, which are driven in the same direction according to the arrows 13 , be moved.

Im Bereich der Umlenkabschnitte 6, die durch kreisbogenförmige Umlenkbleche 14 begrenzt sind, die mit Seitenwandungen 15 der Förderkanäle 5 verbunden sind, sind zwei stabförmige überführungselemente 16 vorgesehen, die beiderseits des entsprechenden Förderbandes 7 angeordnet sind. Auf der Welle 11 befindet sich zu beiden Seiten der Rolle 9 jeweils eine gegenüber der Welle 11 drehbare Hülse 17, die das Uberführungselement 16 benachbart zum Förderband 7 trägt, wobei sich das überführungselement 16 von der Hülse 17 bis etwa zum Umlenkblech 14 ersteckt. Die Hülse 17 trägt ein Ritzel 18, das über ein Zahnrad 19 mit einem weiteren Zahnrad 2o in Eingriff steht, wobei die beiden Zahnräder 2o über eine gemeinsame Welle 21 mit einem nicht dargestellten Drehantrieb verbunden sind. Stromaufwärts von jedem Umlenkabschnitt 6 sind zwei Füllstandssensoren 22 mit Abstand zueinander im Bereich unterhalb des jeweiligen Untertrums des darüber befindlichen Förderbandes 7 angeordnet. Als Füllstandssensoren werden vorzugsweise Lichtschranken verwendet.In the area of the deflection sections 6, which are delimited by arcuate deflection plates 14, which are connected to side walls 15 of the conveying channels 5, two rod-shaped transfer elements 16 are provided, which are arranged on both sides of the corresponding conveyor belt 7. On the shaft 11 there is a sleeve 17 which is rotatable relative to the shaft 11 and carries the transfer element 16 adjacent to the conveyor belt 7 on both sides of the roller 9, the transfer element 16 extending from the sleeve 17 to approximately the deflection plate 14. The sleeve 17 carries a pinion 18, which is in engagement with a further gearwheel 2o via a gearwheel 19, the two gearwheels 2o being connected via a common shaft 21 to a rotary drive (not shown). Upstream of each deflection section 6, two fill level sensors 22 are arranged at a distance from one another in the area below the respective lower run of the conveyor belt 7 located above them. Light barriers are preferably used as level sensors.

Die Lichtschranken 22 sind mit einem Abstand zueinander angeordnet, daß größere Lücken zwischen den Zigaretten 12 entdeckt werden können. Unter größeren Lücken werden solche verstanden, die dazu führen, daß Zigaretten 12 im Bereich des jeweiligen Umlenkabschnittes 6 in den darunter befindlichen Förderkanal 5 fallen können, wenn die Lücke den Umlenkabschnitt 6 erreicht und zu dessen l'ntleerung führt.The light barriers 22 are arranged at a distance from one another that larger gaps between the cigarettes 12 can be discovered. Larger gaps are understood to mean that cigarettes 12 in the region of the respective deflection section 6 can fall into the conveying channel 5 located thereunder when the gap reaches the deflection section 6 and leads to its emptying.

Wenn die Lichtschranken 22 eine derartige größere Lücke entdecken, da der lichtwej von beiden nicht durch im Förderkanal 5 befindliche Zigaretten unterbrochen wird, wird hierdurch der Drehantriebfür die übertragungselemente 16 betätigt, so daß diese aus ihrer Ausgangsposition, in der sie parallel zu dem Förderband 7 außerhalb des Umlenkabschnittes 6 angeordnet sind, in eine Absperrposition um einen Winkel von 90 - 180° gedreht werden, so daß der obere Förderkanal 5 des durch den Umlenkabschnitt 6 verbundenen Förderkanalpaars abgesperrt wird, so daß sich die Zigaretten 12 vor den überführungselementen 16 sammeln können. Wenn die Lichtschranken 22 anschließend feststellen; daß der hiervon überwachte Bereich durch Zigaretten 12 gefüllt ist, wird der Drehantrieb für die Übertragungselemente 16 erneut betätigte wodurch diese in ihre Ausgangsposition weitergedreht werden, wobei sie die sich dagegen abstützenden Zigaretten 12 in den darunter befindlichen Förderkanal 5 heruntertragen, so daß die Zigaretten 12 nicht von einem Förderkanal 5 in den anderen im Umlenkabschnitt 6 herunterfallen können.If the light barriers 22 discover such a larger gap, since the light is not interrupted by either of the cigarettes located in the conveying channel 5, the rotary drive for the transmission elements 16 is hereby actuated, so that they move out of their starting position, in which they are parallel to the conveyor belt 7 of the deflection section 6 are arranged, are turned into a shut-off position by an angle of 90-180 °, so that the upper conveying channel 5 of the conveying channel pair connected by the deflecting section 6 is blocked off, so that the cigarettes 12 can collect in front of the transfer elements 16. If the light barriers 22 then determine; that the area monitored by this is filled with cigarettes 12, the Rotary drive for the transmission elements 16 actuated again, causing them to be rotated further into their starting position, whereby they carry the cigarettes 12, which are supported against them, down into the conveying channel 5 below, so that the cigarettes 12 cannot fall from one conveying channel 5 into the other in the deflection section 6.

Die übertragungselemente 16 sind in Fig. 1 in verschiedenen Stellungen dargestellt.The transmission elements 16 are shown in different positions in FIG. 1.

Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind zwei Zuläufe 23, 23a für den Speicher 1 vorgesehen, wobei der Zulauf 23 senkrecht nach oben und der Zulauf 23a horizontal zum Einlauf 2 des Speichers 1 fördert. Am Einlauf 2 des Speichers 1 ist ein Paar von Sperr-Elementen 26 angeordnet, die etwa so ausgebildet sein können wie die Übertragungselemente 16. Sie dienen dazu, den Zulauf 23 zu verschließen, wenn dieser keine Zigaretten enthält, so daß die den Zulauf 23a beschickende Maschine weiterarbeiten kann.In the embodiment shown, two inlets 23, 23a are provided for the reservoir 1, the inlet 23 conveying vertically upwards and the inlet 23a horizontally to the inlet 2 of the reservoir 1. At the inlet 2 of the store 1 there is a pair of locking elements 26, which can be designed approximately as the transmission elements 16. They serve to close the inlet 23 when it does not contain cigarettes, so that the inlet 23a is loaded Machine can continue to work.

Der Auslauf 3 des Speichers 1 führt beispielsweise über eine Verzweigung 24 zum Einlauf eines Zigarettentrichters 25 eines Zigarettenpackers.The outlet 3 of the store 1 leads, for example, via a branch 24 to the inlet of a cigarette funnel 25 of a cigarette packer.
