Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for forming cigarette groups consisting of several cigarette layers to be picked up from a packet, with a grouping revolver, in the cells of which one cigarette layer can be pushed axially out of one of several parallel outlet openings of a cigarette funnel, each cell being provided with a hold-down device Can be adjusted with respect to the cell base via a control curve, the cells on the circumference of the group formation turret being rotatable at the same distance about axes parallel to the axis of the group formation turret, and in the transfer area from the cigarette funnel to the group formation turret are in engagement with a further control curve which connects the cells with the outlet openings aligns.
  • a device of the type mentioned at the outset is known in which hold-down devices which can be pivoted continuously with respect to the cell floor via curve sections are provided, so that, apart from the fact that they punctually hit the cigarettes of the first rows in an undesirable manner, release the cigarettes when the grouping revolver is still rotating, making the transfer prone to failure.
  • a device for forming cigarette groups is also known, in which the cells of the grouping revolver are arranged so fixed that the outlet openings of the cigarette funnel have to be arranged corresponding to the turret axis.
  • the hold-down device is also lifted off the cigarettes before the grouping turret comes to a standstill to take up the next row, which can lead to malfunctions.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which malfunctions due to oblique or slipped lower cigarette layers are avoided.
  • control curve for the hold-down devices for each outlet opening has a step opening the respective cell by at least one cigarette layer height and movable curve sections serving to temporarily bridge the steps are provided, each cell being rotatably articulated on the group-forming revolver via a rocker is and the further control curve comprises two cams, one of which is in engagement with a rocker arm and the other with the other rocker arm.
  • the hold-down devices hold down the already inserted rows of cigarettes until the group formation turret comes to a standstill to pick up the next row of cigarettes, and only lift off the cigarettes already inserted when the group formation turret comes to a standstill so that they cannot change their position in the cell.
  • the cells of the grouping revolver are pivotally arranged and are curve-controlled in such a way that they can be aligned in alignment with horizontally arranged outlet openings of the cigarette funnel.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically and in sections a front view of a device for forming cigarette groups.
  • Fig. 2 shows a detail of a view along the line II-II of the device of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows a view along the line III-III of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment with regard to the control of the hold-down devices.
  • the device for forming cigarette groups comprises a cigarette funnel 1 with cigarette chutes ending at corresponding outlet openings 2, the number of outlet openings 2 corresponding to the number of cigarette layers provided per packet of cigarettes.
  • the rectangular outlet openings 2 are horizontal and parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction, but offset in height and spaced apart.
  • the lowest layer of cigarettes 3 in each case, which is located adjacent to the respective outlet opening 2 is moved into an adjacent to the respective outlet opening by means of a slide 2 arranged cell 4 of a plurality of cells 4 pushed on the circumference of a group formation turret 5, the group formation turret 5 being rotatable by one cell division by a stepping drive.
  • the cells 4 extend axially with respect to the turret 5, which in turn can be incremented by one cell division over a shaft 6.
  • the cells 4 are articulated on the circumference of the turret 5 at the same center distance about axes 7 coaxial with the shaft 6.
  • the cells 4 are each provided on the underside with a rocker, which comprises two axially spaced arms 8, which are rotatably arranged about the axes 7.
  • One of the arms 8 is extended in the direction of rotation of the turret 5 and the other against the direction of rotation of the turret 5.
  • the free ends of the two arms 8 each carry a roller 9.
  • Each of the rollers 9 is in engagement with a fixed cam 10 or 11.
  • the two cams 10, 11 are designed in such a way that the cells 4 are aligned with the outlet openings 2 when they are opposite the respective outlet openings 2 of the cigarette funnel 1 in the insertion position for the cigarettes 3.
  • Each cell 4 is provided with a hold-down device 12, which essentially extends across the cell width, the holder 13 of which carries two guide pins 14 which are guided in guide sleeves 15 of a guide block 16 which is laterally attached to the cell 4.
  • the guide pins 14 carry a stop 17 at the free end such that the hold-down device 12 can only move up to a predetermined distance from the bottom of the cell 4, which is sufficient to accommodate the maximum number of rows of cigarettes in the cell 4.
  • the hold-down device 12 is pretensioned into the position described last by a spring 18 acting on this and on the guide block 16 and is always parallel to the bottom of the cell 4.
  • the holder 13 of the holding-down device 12 carries two rollers 19 and 20 which are arranged on the same axis 21 arranged parallel to the turret axis.
  • the roller 19 is in engagement with a fixed control cam 22 which serves to bring the hold-down device 12 into the position suitable for inserting a row of cigarettes and to hold it in this position until the next outlet opening 2 of the cigarette funnel 1.
  • the control cam 22 has steps 22a, which cause the hold-down device 12 to move radially outward toward the revolver circumference, in accordance with the height of a cigarette layer, from the cell base located radially on the inside can then be held substantially in this position until the next step 22a.
  • the roller 20 can cooperate with movable curve sections 23.
  • the curve sections 23 are formed on levers 24 and are located in the area of the steps 22a.
  • the respective lever 24 is, for example, rotatably mounted on the fixed control cam 22 and is designed as an angle lever, a cam-controlled crank 25 acting on its end facing away from the roller 20 in order to pivot the lever between the dashed and dash-dotted positions in FIG. 1.
  • the lever 24 is in the dot-dash position, so that the corresponding step 22a is bridged by the curve section 23.
  • the hold-down device 12 can also be raised a little more than necessary, in order then to press it down again on the cigarettes 3 via the control curve 22 as the cell 4 continues to rotate.
  • the control cam 22 must extend to the eject position of the cigarette block formed from the respective cell 4.
  • the stops 17 have to be omitted or a corresponding stroke of the hold-down device 12 has to be permitted.
  • the levers 24 are controlled by axial groove curves 26, which are seated on a common shaft 27.
  • a lever 24 can also be provided for the insertion of the lowermost cigarette layer, to which a corresponding step 22a of the control cam 22 is assigned.
  • the arrangement can also be such that the respective first, second, etc. layer of cigarettes is pushed over at the same time in two or more cells 4.
  • the grouping turret 5 is then rotated further by two or more cell divisions.
