Zum Verpacken von Zigaretten sind Klappdeckelschachteln, sogenannte hinged-lid-Päckchen, bekannt, die aus einem Zuschnitt um einen von Innenpapier umhüllten Zigarettenblock gefaltet werden. Derartige Päckchen umfassen außerdem eine Zarge, die mit dem Außenpapierzuschnitt verklebt wird, beim fertigen Päckchen innenseitig hiervon angeordnet ist und den Entnahmebereich an der Vorderseite des Päckchens sowie bis auf die Rückseite die Entnahmeöffnung auf drei Seiten begrenzt. Dementsprechend sind die Zargen mit Faltlinien versehen und außerdem sind zwei Einschnitte derart angebracht, daß im gefalteten Zustand im vorderseitigen Bereich seitlich geringfügig ausgestellte Vorsprünge vorhanden sind, um das Halten des Klappdeckels in geschlossener Stellung bei einmal geöffnetem Päckchen zu unterstützen. Derartige Zargen müssen bezüglich des von Innenpapier umhüllten Zigarettenblocks und bezüglich des Außenpapierzuschnitts richtig zentriert und positioniert werden, wobei dies außerdem möglichst wenig Zeit in Anspruch nehmen darf.Hinged-lid packages, known as hinged-lid packages, are known for packaging cigarettes and are folded from a blank around a block of cigarette wrapped in inner paper. Such packages also include a frame which is glued to the outer paper blank, is arranged on the inside of the finished package and limits the removal area on the front of the package and, apart from the rear, the removal opening on three sides. Accordingly, the frames are provided with folding lines and two incisions are made in such a way that in the folded state there are slightly protruding projections on the side in order to assist in holding the hinged lid in the closed position when the package is open. Such frames must be correctly centered and positioned with respect to the cigarette block encased by the inner paper and with respect to the outer paper blank, and this must also take as little time as possible.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die es ermöglicht, in einfacher Weise jeweils eine Zarge richtig zentriert und positioniert um einen mit Innenpapier umhüllten Zigarettenblock anzuordnen.The object of the invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned at the outset which makes it possible in a simple manner to correctly center and position one frame in each case in order to arrange a block of cigarette wrapped with inner paper.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die aus einer Bodenwandung und Längsseitenwandungen gebildeten und stirn- und außenseitig offenen Zellen in der Übergabestation mit Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind, wobei die offenen Außenseiten der Zellen einander zugekehrt sind und die Zargenzuführung derart in den Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden in der Übergabestation befindlichen Zellen mündet, daß die hiervon jeweils zugeführte Zarge über der offenen Außenseite der noch leeren, aufnehmenden Zelle durch Führungen positioniert und durch das dann vom Schieber überschobene Innenpaket unter entsprechendem Falten der Zarge in die aufnehmende Zelle eingedrückt wird.This object is achieved in that the cells formed from a bottom wall and longitudinal side walls and open on the front and outside are arranged at a distance from one another in the transfer station, the open outside of the cells facing each other and the frame feed in such a way into the space between the two in the transfer station located cells opens that the frame supplied from each positioned over the open outside of the still empty, receiving cell by guides and is pressed into the receiving cell by the inner package then pushed over by the slide with appropriate folding of the frame.
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.The invention is explained below with reference to the embodiment shown in the accompanying figures.
Fig. 1 zeigt schematisiert und ausschnittweise eine Zargenzuführung einer Vorrichtung zum Verpacken von Zigaretten.1 shows schematically and in detail a frame feed of a device for packaging cigarettes.
Fig. 2 zeigt ausschnittweise eine Ansicht in Axialrichtung der Förderrollen der Zargenzuführung von Fig. 1.FIG. 2 shows a detail of a view in the axial direction of the conveyor rollers of the frame feeder from FIG. 1.
Die Vorrichtung zum Verpacken von Zigaretten besitzt zwei schrittweise angetriebene Förderer 1, 2, im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel mit Zellen 3 bzw. 4 versehene Gurte 5 bzw. 6, jedoch können stattdessen auch mit Zellen versehene Revolver verwendet werden. In Fig. 1 sind der Untertrum des Förderers 1 und der Obertrum des Förderers 2 dargestellt, die parallel übereinander und derart angeordnet sind, daß sich die nach unten offenen Zellen 3 des Untertrum des Förderers 1 mit Abstand zu den nach oben offenen Zellen 4 des Obertrums des Förderers 2 befinden. Der obere Förderer 1 transportiert in den Zellen 3 seines Untertrums Innenpakete 7, d.h. mit Innenpapier umhüllte Zigarettenblöcke. Das Innenpapier und der jeweilige Zigarettenblock werden im Bereich des Untertrums der jeweiligen Zelle 3 des Förderers 1 zugeführt und das Innenpapier um den jeweiligen Zigarettenblock gefaltet. Beim Transport der Innenpakete 7 längs des Untertrums des Förderers 1 ist eine Führung (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen, die ein Herausfallen der Innenpakete 7 verhindert.The device for packing cigarettes has two step-by-
Die einzelnen Zellen 3 bzw. 4, die an dem jeweiligen Gurt 5 bzw. 6 befestigt sind, sind bodenseitig mit sich in Förderrichtung erstreckenden seitlichen Leisten 8 versehen, die in entsprechenden Führungsnuten 9 von Führungsschienen 10 geführt sind. Die einzelnen Zellen 3, 4 sind jeweils nach außen hin sowie stirnseitig offen und bilden einen quaderförmigen Aufnahmeraum im wesentlichen entsprechend der Größe eines Zigarettenpäckchens.The
Eine Zargenzuführung 11 umfaßt eine Zuführstrecke für einzelne Zargen 12, die in einem Spalt zwischen einer freilaufende Rolle 13 und einer angetriebenen Förderrolle 14 mündet. Die Förderrolle 14 arbeitet außerdem mit einer weiteren, ebenfalls angetriebenen Förderrolle 15 zusammen, wobei eine kreisbogenförmige Führung 16 benachbart zum Außenumfang der Förderrolle 14 zwischen dem Spalt mit der Rolle 13 und dem Spalt mit der Förderrolle 15 angeordnet ist. Hierdurch wird eine Zarge 12 nach Ergreifen durch die Rollen 13, 14 in den Spalt zwischen den Förderrollen 14, 15 befördert, um in einen horizontalen Führungsschlitz gefördert zu werden, der von zwei mit geringem Abstand zueinander angeordneten Führungen 17, 18 gebildet wird.A
Ein Vorwerfer 19, der in Form eines an einem Ende schwenkbar angeordneten Hebels mit einem um etwa 90° abgewinkelten freien Ende ausgebildet ist, greift mit seinem freien Ende an der den Spalt zwischen dem Förderrollenpaar 14, 15 verlassenden Zarge 12 an, um diese durch den Führungsschlitz der Führungen 17, 18 bis auf eine Zelle 4 des Förderers 2 zu transportieren.A
Wie sich aus Fig. 2 ergibt, greifen die Rollen 13, 14, 15 an der Zarge 12 in den beiden Übergangsbereichen zwischen den beiden vorlaufenden äußeren, lappenförmigen Enden und dem nachlaufenden Mittelbereich derart an, daß die Zarge 12 auf ihrer gesamten Länge gefördert wird. Die Rollen 13, 14, 15 umfassen dementsprechend jeweils zwei mit entsprechendem Abstand zueinander angeordnete, koaxiale Rollenscheiben 20.2, the
Der Antrieb der Zargenzuführung 11 erfolgt über eine Antriebswelle 21, die über ein Zahnrad 22 zwei koaxiale Zahnräder 23, 24 treibt, die zum einen die Förderrolle 14 und zum anderen die Förderrolle 15 antreiben. Außerdem ist mit der Antreibswelle 21 eine Welle 25 in geeigneter Weise gekoppelt, um den Vorwerfer 19 hin- und herzuschwenken.The
Der Vorwerfer 19 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zumindest im Bereich seines freien Endes gabelförmig, um an den rückwärtigen Kanten der äußeren, seitlichen Lappen der jeweiligen Zarge 12 angreifen zu können. Die Führung 17 besitzt entsprechende Schlitze 26, die die Schwenkbewegung des Vorwerfers 19 ermöglichen. Die Führung 17 und/oder die Führung 18 können zusätzlich zum seitlichen Führen der Zargen 12 mit entsprechenden Stegen 27a o.dgl. versehen sein. Auch kann die untere Führung 17 an beiden Seiten in Förderrichtung bis über den Förderer 2 verlängert und mit einem Anschlag für die Zarge 12 versehen sein (gestrichelt in Fig. 2 dargestellt), so daß die Zarge 12 nicht direkt auf die jeweilige Zelle 4, sondern etwas oberhalb hiervon auf diesen seitlichen Verlängerungen der Führung 17 zentriert und positioniert wird.The
In der Übergabestation zwischen den beiden Förderern 1, 2, in den die Zargenzuführung 11 mündet, ist auf der den Führungen 17, 18 gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Vertikalführung 27 angeordnet, die sich im wesentlichen über die Höhe der Zellen 3, 4 und den Abstand hierzwischen erstreckt sowie benachbart zur Zelle 3 mit einer Abschrägung 28 versehen ist, die zum Halten des Innenpakets 7 in der Zelle 3 dient, da in der Übergabestation ansonsten keine unterseitige Abstützung vorhanden sein kann.In the transfer station between the two
In der Übergabestation ist ein Schieber 29 vorgesehen, der längs einer Vertikalführung 30 über einen Kurbeltrieb 31 auf- und abbeweglich ist. Der Schieber 29 besitzt einen etwa U-förmigen Rahmen 32 mit einwärts gerichteten, parallel zum Bodenabschnitt 4a der Zelle 3 verlaufenden Abschnitten 33. Da die Zellen 3 (und 4) einen entsprechend beidseitig verkürzten Bodenabschnitt 4a aufweisen, können die Abschnitte 33 das Innenpaket 7 auf einer Seite an der Führung 18 und auf der anderen Seite an der Vertikalführung 27 entlang aus der Zelle 3 heraus und in die Zelle 4 hineinschieben. Hierbei wird das Innenpaket 7 infolge der Abschrägung 28 zunächst geringfügig zusammengedrückt, um dann im Bereich der Zelle 4 aufgrund eines dort etwas zurückversetzten Abschnitts 34 der Vertikalführung 27 wieder freigegeben zu werden.In the transfer station, a
Beim Übergeben des Innenpakets 7 von der Zelle 3 zur Zelle 4 wird die über der Zelle 4 angeordnete Zarge 12 längs ihrer Faltlinien mit ihren seitlichen Abschnitten durch das Eindrücken zwischen die Seitenwandungen 4b der Zelle 4 umgefaltet und in die Zelle 4 hineingedrückt, so daß sie das Innenpaket 7 sowohl bodenseitig als auch an beiden Seiten insgesamt U-förmig von unten umgreift.When the
Anstelle eines Vorwerfers 19 kann auch beispielsweise ein Sauger verwendet werden, der die Zarge 12 beim Verlassen des Spalts zwischen den Förderrollen 14, 15 ergreift, in die gewünschte Position befördert und dort ablegt.Instead of a
Die Zarge 12 kann bereits durch die Zargenzuführung 11 angefördert werden, wenn die jeweilige Zelle 4 des Förderers 2 noch in Bewegung ist, so daß die Positionierung der Zargen 12 die Übergabezeit der Innenpakete 7 von einem Förderer 1 zum anderen 2 praktisch nicht verlängert.The
Für den Fall, daß das herzustellende Zigarettenpäckchen einen Coupon enthalten soll, ist eine Couponzuführung 35 vorgesehen, die ein vom Zahnrad 22 angetriebenes rotierendes Messer 36 und ein damit zusammenarbeitendes feststehendes Messer 37 umfaßt, denen eine Couponbahn 38 zugeführt wird. Durch die Messer 36, 37 wird jeweils ein Coupon von der Couponbahn 38 abgetrennt, wobei das vorderere Ende des abgetrennten Coupons von einem Förderrollenpaar 39 ergriffen und der jeweilige Coupon in den Spalt zwischen den Förderrollen 14, 15 auf die jeweilige Zarge 12 gefördert wird, so daß der Coupon zusammen mit der Zarge 12 zunächst durch die Förderrollen 14, 15 gefördert und dann durch den Vorwerfer 19 auf der Zelle 4 positioniert wird. Damit gelangt der Coupon zwischen Innenpaket 7 und Zarge 12 bzw. das damit später verklebte Außenpapier. Die Förderrollen 39 werden über ein Zahnrad 40 angetrieben, das mit einem Zahnrad 41 in Eingriff steht, das seinerseits zum Antrieb des Messers 36 dient und mit dem Zahnrad 22 in Eingriff steht.In the event that the cigarette packet to be manufactured is to contain a coupon, a
