Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the transport of cross seated cigarettes, disposed in several layers one above the other, including at least two transporters.
  • transporters operate on the principle of continuous belts made of diverse materials, or adapted in various ways. Originally transporters were designed as smooth belts made of a relatively soft material, e.g. rubber coated. Also known are smooth belts, the surface of which is covered with a foam material, which protects the cigarettes and improves their transport. Another group form transport belts, on the surface of which are made various projections either of a constant shape or of a variable shape, obtained e.g. by inflating. For the transport of cigarettes for a shorter distance, the transporter or the belt is perforated and cigarettes are held on it be means of vacuum.
  • US Patent 4 416 368 discloses a conveyor mechanism in which cigarettes are conveyed from a lower to a higher level by means of two conveyors having two mutually opposite and parallel portions.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement resides in its certain single purpose which enables the cigarettes to be transported only rectilinearly.
  • the device according to the invention solves the problem of transport of cigarettes in several layers one above the other while the production line and packing line are directly interconnected by means of transporters.
  • a device which includes at least two transporters, at least one of the transporters is composed of a row of carrying links fixed on the central links of a three-row roller chain, where each carrying link comprises a holding-down part, fixed in the roller chain, a supporting part including a central part, from which protrude, to both sides in the direction away from the chain axis, surfaces for carrying ciagrettes, and a tightening screw, the tightening screw joining together the holding-down part and the supporting part on the central links of the three-row roller chain, wherein side rows of the three-row chain either engage with driving and guide chain wheels, or are in contact with guides, wherein the cigarettes carrying sides of the transporters extend, at least along a part of their length, parallel to each other for carrying a layer of cigarettes.
  • the transporter according to the invention has advantages, viz. an easy changing of its length, as the links may be added or taken off as desired. Also the guide of the transporter may be easily adapted according to requirements as to the direction of its motion. By creating a linked transporter, its service life was increased compared with hitherto used solid belts.
  • the device for transporting cross seated cigarettes comprises a transporter composed of carrying links 1 (Figure 1), which are fixed onto the central row of a three-row roller chain 2.
  • Each link 1 ( Figure 2) has a supporting part 3 and a holding-down part 4, which are joined together by a tightening screw 5 and are fixed onto the chain always in every second pitch.
  • the supporting part 3 includes a central part from which protrudes, to both sides in the direction away from the chain axis, surfaces 9 ( Figure 2) for carrying the cigarettes C.
  • a projection 6 is made on the upper part of the supporting part 3 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the transporter motion.
  • Each carrying link 1 is on its supporting part 3 provided with claws 7,8 ( Figure 3), which are so shaped that the carrying links 1, following one after the other, mesh with each other and in this way form a continuous surface for carrying a layer of cigarettes.
  • FIG 4 is shown an example of arrangement of transporters and their guides.
  • the transporter providing a closed circuit, is guided over a driving chain wheel 11 and guide chain wheels 10, and in the space between these wheels the transporter is guided either by a fixed curved guide 12, two-sided curved guide 13, two-sided fixed guide 15 and in the zone of horizontal motion is supported by a fixed guide 14.
  • the transporting device operates as follows: cigarettes arrive from the production line to a transition bridge 16 and from there into the area between transporters A,B, which make it possible to transport cigarettes in several layers one above the other. Cigarettes lie, or are closed between supporting parts 3 of the carrying links 1 of the transporters. When cigarettes are transported in a horizontal direction, the projection 6 of the carrying link 1 facilitates the transport of cigarettes in that it prevents the cigarettes from sinking in the area between the transporters, while the cigarettes are not pressed together more than is necessary, and in this way no squeezing takes place. Where the direction of transport is changed, i.e. in the bends of the transporter, the carrying links 1 bend together with the three-row chain 2, to which they are fixed.
  • the transporters are driven synchronously by the driving chain wheels 11 and are guided in the bends either over the guide chain wheels 10, or over the fixed guides, namely in the bend, where the transporter does not come into contact with the transported cigarettes, it is guided over the single-sided fixed curved guide 12 and in bends, where it comes into contact with the transported cigarettes, it is guided by a two-sided curved guide 13.
  • the transporter is guided over the fixed guide 14, situated as a support of the chain 2, which prevents the cross-section of the space from transporting cigarettes from changing as a consequence of the sagging of the chain by its own weight.
  • the transporter In the vertical sections the transporter is guided in the two-sided fixed guide 15, preventing again the cross-section from changing because of possible vibration of the chain in the horizontal direction.
  • At the outlet part of the transporters there is situated over the horizontal part an auxiliary belt 17, which arranges the transported and transferred layer of cigarettes.
  • a fixed cover 18 limits the space for the transport of cigarettes from outside.

Claims (5)

  1. Dispositif pour le transport de cigarettes couchées transversalement, disposées en plusieurs couches les unes sur les autres, comprenant au moins deux transporteurs, caractérisé en ce que l'un au moins des transporteurs (A, B) est composé d'une rangée de maillons porteurs (1) fixés sur les maillons centraux d'une chaîne à rouleaux (2) à trois rangées, dans lequel chaque maillon porteur comprend une partie (4) de fixation inférieure fixée à la chaîne à rouleaux, une partie porteuse (3) incluant une partie centrale à partir de laquelle sont en saillie sur les deux côtés, en s'éloignant de l'axe de la chaîne, des surfaces (9) pour porter les cigarettes (C), et une vis de serrage (5), la vis de serrage réunissant ensemble la partie de fixation inférieure et la partie porteuse sur les maillons centraux de la chaîne à rouleaux à trois rangées, dans lequel les rangées latérales de la chaîne à trois rangées soit s'engagent avec des pignons d'entraînement etde guidage (11, 10), soit sont en contact avec des guides (12, 15), dans lequel les côtés des transporteurs transportant les cigarettes s'étendent, au moins sur une partie de leur longueur, parallèlement l'un à l'autre pour transporter une couche de cigarettes.
  2. Dispositif selon la revendication 1 dans lequel les surfaces pour transporter les cigarettes, saillantes à partir de la partie porteuse, sont divisées par plusieurs dents (7, 8) telles que des maillons porteurs voisins engrènent l'un avec l'autre, et sur la surface porteuse de la partie porteuse centrale est réalisée une protubérance (6) pour le transport des cigarettes.
