Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bodenfaltungspacker zum Verpacken von Zigaretten mit einer ersten Verpackungslinie, in der Zigaretten zu Zigarettenblöcken zusammengefaßt werden, die in Innenpapier eingeschlagen, dann von einem entsprechend beleimten Außenpapierzuschnitt umhüllt und vollständig geschlossen werden, wobei die Packungen in einer ersten Übergabestation in eine Zelle eines ersten Zellenrades eines Trockenrevolvers einschiebbar sind, der aus zwei fluchtend koaxial hintereinander angeordneten, eine Vielzahl von Zellen aufweisenden Zellenrädern besteht und jeweils um zwei Zellenteilungen weiterschaltbar ist, wobei ein Doppelschieber einer Einrichtung zum Anbringen von Siegelmarken zum Überschieben von jeweils zwei Päckchen von einem Zellenrad des Trockenrevolvers in das andere unter gleichzeitiger Anbringung von Siegelmarken und ein Doppelschieber zum Ausschieben von jeweils zwei trockenen Päckchen nach entsprechend langem Aufenthalt in dem Trockenrevolver vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a bottom folding packer for packaging cigarettes with a first packaging line, in which cigarettes are combined into cigarette blocks, which are wrapped in inner paper, then enveloped by a correspondingly glued outer paper blank and completely closed, the packs being in a first transfer station into a cell First cellular wheel of a dry turret can be inserted, which consists of two aligned coaxial cell wheels arranged one behind the other, having a large number of cells and which can each be shifted by two cell divisions, with a double slider of a device for attaching sealing marks for pushing two packets from a cellular wheel of the dry turret into the other with simultaneous application of sealing marks and a double slide for pushing out two dry packets after a correspondingly long stay in the drying turret d.

Ein derartiger Bodenfaltungspacker ist aus der DE-C-3 046 063 bekannt, bei dem eine Verpackungslinie vorgesehen ist, bei der aus einem Doppeltrichter jeweils gleichzeitig zwei sich diametral gegenüberliegende Zellen eines Blockrevolvers mit einem Zigarettenblock gefüllt und jeweils die Zigarettenblöcke von zwei benachbarten Zellen an einen mit speziell orientierten Zellen versehenen Preßrevolver übergeben werden, von dem die Zigarettenblöcke jeweils paarweise an einen Umhüllrevolver überschoben werden, auf dem das Einschlagen der Blöcke mit Innen- und Außenpapier erfolgt. Hieran schließt sich ein Kopfschließrevolver, der wie der Preßrevolver ausgebildet ist, an, auf dem die gebildeten Packungen auch kopfseitig verschlossen werden. Danach erfolgt die Übergabe an einen Trockenrevolver, der aus zwei hintereinander angeordneten Zellenrädern besteht, wobei unter Siegelmarkenanbringung ein Überschieben der Päckchen von einem Zellenrad auf das andere mittels Doppelschieber erfolgt. Nach längerem Umlauf werden die getrockneten Päckchen ausgeschoben. Zwar läßt sich hierbei durch die Verwendung der speziell ausgebildeten Preß- und Kopfschließrevolver eine gewisse Erhöhung der Verpackungsgeschwindigkeit erzielen, jedoch wird zwecks Rationalisierung eine immer höhere Produktivität angestrebt.Such a bottom folding packer is known from DE-C-3 046 063, in which a packaging line is provided in which two diametrically opposite cells of a block revolver are simultaneously filled with a cigarette block from a double funnel and the cigarette blocks from two neighboring cells to one Press revolvers with specially oriented cells are handed over, from which the cigarette blocks are pushed in pairs onto an enveloping revolver on which the blocks are wrapped with inner and outer paper. This is followed by a head-closing turret, which is designed like the press turret, on which the formed packs are also closed on the head side. This is then transferred to a dry turret, which consists of two cell wheels arranged one behind the other, with packages being pushed over from one cell wheel to the other by means of a double pusher while affixing the seal. After a long circulation, the dried packets are pushed out. Although a certain increase in the packaging speed can be achieved by using the specially designed press and head-closing revolvers, the aim is to increase productivity for rationalization purposes.

Aus der EP-A-0 268 917 ist eine Verpackungsmaschine für Zigarettenpackungen bekannt, mit der sich die Verpackungsgeschwindigkeit bei möglichst geringem Aufwand steigern läßt, da hierbei die Faltaggregate und Förderer von zwei Verpackungslinien durch ein gemeinsames Getriebe antreibbar sind. Jedoch sind hierbei zwei Trockrevolver vorgesehen, nach denen die Verpackungslinien erst vereinigt werden.A packaging machine for cigarette packs is known from EP-A-0 268 917, with which the packaging speed can be increased with as little effort as possible, since the folding units and conveyors of two packaging lines can be driven by a common gear. However, two drying turrets are provided, after which the packaging lines are only combined.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Bodenfaltungspacker der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit dem sich die Produktion bei gleichzeitig möglichst geringem Aufwand weiter erhöhen läßt, ohne daß die Geschwindigkeit für die einzelnen Faltvorgänge (bzw. Faltaggregate und Förderer) gesteigert werden muß, wobei insbesondere die Faltvorgänge übersichtlich und leicht kontrollierbar im wesentlichen in einer Ebene (bzw. auf einer Seite) stattfinden sollen.The object of the invention is to provide a bottom folding packer of the type mentioned at the outset, with which the production can be increased further with the least possible effort, without the speed for the individual folding processes (or folding units and conveyors) having to be increased, in particular the folding processes should be clear and easily controllable, essentially on one level (or on one side).

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß eine zweite, auf der der ersten Verpackungslinie gegenüberliegenden Seite des gleichen Trockenrevolvers endende Verpackungslinie vorgesehen ist, die eine zweite Übergabestation zum Übergeben eines Päckchens an eine Zelle des ersten Zellenrades gleichzeitig mit der Übergabe eines Päckchens von der ersten Übergabestation aufweist und zwischen den im wesentlichen einander diametral gegenüberliegenden Zellen des ersten Zellenrades, die jeweils ein Päckchen von den Übergabestationen übernehmen, eine gerade Anzahl von Zellen liegt, während die Doppelschieber benachbarte Zellen beaufschlagen.This object is achieved in that a second packaging line is provided which ends on the side of the same drying turret opposite the first packaging line and which has a second transfer station for transferring a package to a cell of the first cellular wheel simultaneously with the transfer of a package from the first transfer station and between the substantially diametrically opposite cells of the first cell wheel, which each take a packet from the transfer stations, there is an even number of cells, while the double slides act on adjacent cells.

Hierdurch wird praktisch eine Verpackungsgeschwindigkeit entsprechend der doppelten eines normalen Packers erreicht, wobei zwar zwei Verpackungslinien verwendet werden, die aber in einem hierfür gemeinsamen Trockenrevolver mit einer Einrichtung zum Anbringen der Siegelmarken enden.In this way, a packaging speed corresponding to twice that of a normal packer is practically achieved, two packaging lines being used, but ending in a drying turret shared for this purpose with a device for applying the sealing marks.

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

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines schematisch und ausschnittweise in der beigefügten Abbildung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown schematically and in sections in the attached figure.

Bei dem dargestellten Bodenfaltungspacker werden Zigaretten quer zu ihrer Axialrichtung durch einen Zuführgurt 1 angeliefert und auf zwei Verpakkungslinien aufgeteilt, indem ein Teil der angelieferten Zigaretten direkt in einen Doppeltrichter 2a der ersten Verpackungslinie und ein weiterer Teil über einen Hilfsgurt 3 an einen Doppeltrichter 2b der zweiten Verpackungslinie abgegeben werden.In the bottom folding packer shown, cigarettes are delivered transversely to their axial direction by a feed belt 1 and divided into two packaging lines, in that part of the delivered cigarettes is fed directly into a double hopper 2a of the first packaging line and another part via an auxiliary belt 3 to a double hopper 2b of the second packaging line be delivered.

Die Zigarettentrichter 2a, 2b besitzen im Bereich ihrer Abgabeenden Zwischenwandungen, so daß sich in jedem der hierdurch gebildeten Zigarettenschächte eine Reihe von übereinander angeordneten Zigaretten ergibt, die mit Hilfe von Stößeln o.dgl. in Zellen 4 eines Blockrevolvers 5a bzw. 5b eingeschoben werden. Das Einschieben der Zigaretten erfolgt hierbei in diametral gegenüberliegende Zellen 4 des Blockrevolvers 5a bzw. 5b. Dabei wird jede zweite Zelle 4 von einem Abgabeende und die dazwischen leer verbliebene Zelle nach dem Weitertakten vom anderen Abgabeende her gefüllt.The cigarette funnels 2a, 2b have intermediate walls in the area of their dispensing end, so that in each of the cigarette shafts formed in this way there is a series of cigarettes arranged one above the other, which can be used with the aid of plungers or the like. are inserted into cells 4 of a block turret 5a or 5b. The cigarettes are inserted into diametrically opposite cells 4 of the block turret 5a or 5b. Every second cell 4 is filled by one end of delivery and the cell that remains empty therebetween after the clocking is filled by the other end of delivery.

Die Zigarettenblöcke aus den Zellen 4 werden jeweils einzeln nacheinander an Zellen 6 eines Umhüllrevolvers 7a bzw. 7b abgegeben, der sich entgegengesetzt zum Blockrevolver 5a bzw. 5b dreht. Innenpapier zum Einhüllen der Zigarettenblöcke ist für jede Verpackungslinie in Form von jeweils zwei Bobinen 8a, 8b vorgesehen, von denen eine Innenpapierbahn 9a über entsprechende Rollen und Pendel - letztere zum Straffhalten - einer Abtrenneinrichtung 10 zugeführt wird, während die andere Innenpapierbahn 9b in Reserve gehalten und bei Bedarf eingesetzt wird. Der von der Abtrenneinrichtung 10 abgetrennte Innenpapierabschnitt 11 wird bis vor eine Zelle 6 des Umhüllrevolvers 7a bzw. 7b geführt und mittels entsprechender, nicht dargestellter Faltorgane um die Zelle 6 und den darin befindlichen Zigarettenblock gefaltet. In Umdrehungsrichtung nachfolgend wird ein Außenpapierzuschnitt (Kartonzuschnitt) 12, der einem entsprechenden Magazin 13 entnommen und durch eine Beleimeinrichtung 14 an den hierfür bestimmten Stellen beleimt wird, der mit dem Innenpapierabschnitt 11 zumindest teilweise umhüllten Zelle 6 zugeführt und ebenfalls mittels nicht dargestellter Faltorgane um die Zelle 6 gefaltet, wobei die insoweit gebildete Packung kopfseitig offen bleibt.The cigarette blocks from the cells 4 are each delivered one after the other to cells 6 of an enveloping revolver 7a or 7b which rotates in the opposite direction to the block revolver 5a or 5b. Inner paper for wrapping the cigarette blocks is provided for each packaging line in the form of two bobbins 8a, 8b, of which one inner paper web 9a is fed to a separating device 10 via corresponding rollers and pendulums - the latter for keeping it taut - while the other inner paper web 9b is kept in reserve and is used if necessary. The inner paper section 11 separated by the separating device 10 is guided up to a cell 6 of the revolving revolver 7a or 7b and folded around the cell 6 and the cigarette block located therein by means of corresponding folding elements (not shown). In the direction of rotation, an outer paper blank (cardboard blank) 12, which is removed from a corresponding magazine 13 and glued by a gluing device 14 at the points intended for this purpose, is fed to the cell 6, which is at least partially enveloped by the inner paper portion 11, and likewise by means of Folding organs, not shown, are folded around the cell 6, the package formed in this respect remaining open on the head side.

Anschließend wird der in der kopfseitig offenen Packung befindliche Zigarettenblock einschließlich der Packung mittels eines Schiebers aus der Zelle 6 in eine Zelle 15 eines Kopfschließrevolvers 16a bzw. 16b übergeschoben und beim Weitertransport die Packung durch entsprechende Faltorgane kopfseitig geschlossen.Subsequently, the cigarette block in the open package on the head side, including the package, is pushed out of the cell 6 into a cell 15 of a head-closing revolver 16a or 16b by means of a slide, and the package is closed on the head side by corresponding folding members during further transport.

Aus den beiden Kopfschließrevolvern 16a und 16b, die sich auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten eines Trockenrevolvers 17 befinden, wird in Übergabestationen gleichzeitig jeweils eine Packung in einander im wesentlichen gegenüberliegende Zellen 18 eines Zellenrades 19 des Trockenrevolvers 17 durch entsprechende Schieber überführt. Der Trockenrevolver 17 besitzt zwei in axialem Abstand zueinander angeordnete Zellenräder jeweils mit einer Vielzahl von Zellen 18, wobei die Zellen 18 der beiden Zellenräder miteinander fluchten. Zwischen den Zellen 18, in die die Übergabe der Päckchen von den Kopfschließrevolvern 16a und 16b erfolgt, befindet sich eine gerade Anzahl von weiteren Zellen 18, so daß durch Weiterschalten des Trockenrevolvers 17 um jeweils zwei Zellenteilungen mittels eines entsprechenden Schrittschaltantriebs sämtliche Zellen 18 gefüllt und einer Einrichtung 20 zum Anbringen von Siegelmarken 21 zugeführt werden.From the two head-closing revolvers 16a and 16b, which are located on opposite sides of a drying revolver 17, in the transfer stations at the same time a pack is transferred into essentially opposite cells 18 of a cellular wheel 19 of the drying revolver 17 by means of corresponding slides. The drying turret 17 has two cell wheels arranged at an axial distance from one another, each with a plurality of cells 18, the cells 18 of the two cell wheels being aligned with one another. There is an even number of further cells 18 between the cells 18 into which the parcel is transferred from the head-closing revolvers 16a and 16b, so that by advancing the drying revolver 17 by two cell divisions by means of a corresponding stepping drive, all the cells 18 are filled and one Device 20 for applying sealing marks 21 are supplied.

Die Einrichtung 20 umfaßt zwei Magazine 22 für Siegelmarken 21, die nach gleichzeitiger Entnahme von zwei Siegelmarken 21 aus den Magazinen 22 in einer Beleimeinrichtung 23 beleimt und mittels saugluftbeaufschlagbarer Hebel 24 mit gabelformigem Ende auf entsprechende, von den Zellen 18 gehaltene Päckchen aufgebracht werden, indem die Hebel 24 zwischen die Zellenräder eintauchen und die Päckchen mittels eines Doppelschiebers von einem Zellenrad 19 in das nächste unter Mitnahme der Siegelmarke 21 durch das Päckchen und Umlegen der überstehenden Enden durch die Wandungen der nachfolgenden Zelle 18 sowie unter gleichzeitigem Ausschieben von zwei trockenen Päckchen auf einen Abförderer 25 überschoben werden.The device 20 comprises two magazines 22 for sealing marks 21 which, after simultaneous removal of two sealing marks 21 from the magazines 22, are glued in a gluing device 23 and are applied to corresponding packages held by the cells 18 by means of levers 24 which can be acted upon by suction and have a fork-shaped end Immerse the lever 24 between the cell wheels and move the parcels from one cell wheel 19 to the next by means of a double slide, taking the seal mark 21 through the parcel and flipping the protruding ends through the walls of the subsequent cell 18 and simultaneously pushing two dry parcels out onto a conveyor 25 are pushed over.

Anstelle eines Kopfschließrevolvers 16a bzw. 16b läßt sich auch eine andere Kopfschließeinrichtung etwa in Form einer mit Zellen versehenen Förderkette, bezüglich der entsprechende Faltorgane angeordnet sind, verwenden.Instead of a head-closing turret 16a or 16b, another head-closing device, for example in the form of a conveyor chain provided with cells, with respect to which corresponding folding members are arranged, can be used.

Die Revolver haben sämtlich radial ausgerichtete Zellen und sind in Achsrichtung versetzt zueinander derart angeordnet, daß ein Überschieben zwischen den Zellen benachbarter Revolver erfolgen kann. Sie sind in üblicher Weise mit Schrittschaltantrieben versehen, die mit einem zentralen Antrieb gekoppelt sind.The turrets all have radially aligned cells and are offset from one another in the axial direction in such a way that adjacent turrets can be pushed over between the cells. They are usually provided with stepper drives that are coupled to a central drive.
