Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cigarette packaging machine with at least one turret, each having an axial slot, and a turret connected downstream of the turret, having drivers, continuously drivable, in the axial direction of the turret, conveyor chain, the drivers of which can be passed through a respective turret cell in the transfer position.
  • Such a cigarette packaging machine is known from GB-A-2 017 032, in which the drivers of the conveyor chain for taking a block of cigarettes out of a cell of the revolver hit the cigarettes located in the cell to be emptied when the revolver comes to a standstill at the conveyor chain speed.
  • the cigarettes are first pushed against a comb-like stop plate in order to be aligned with one another in terms of length.
  • the stop plate then initially moves in the direction of conveyance and finally dips away to clear the conveying path.
  • the greater the speed of the conveyor chain the more the cigarettes are stressed by the driver and the stop plate, so that the sensitive cigarettes are not treated with sufficient care at high packaging speeds.
  • the block-shaped objects to be packaged are picked up by cells from individual conveying devices, such as revolvers, conveyor chains or the like, in order to carry out the individual packaging processes or to carry them on or off.
  • individual conveying devices such as revolvers, conveyor chains or the like
  • the carriers for taking over the respective cells of the revolver the carriers hit the objects to be taken over, located in the revolver cells, with the conveying speed of the conveyor chain . Since cigarette blocks, inner packets, freshly glued cigarette packs, etc. are relatively sensitive objects, such handling often leads to damage or malfunctions, especially at higher speeds of the conveyor chain.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cigarette packaging machine of the type mentioned, which makes it possible to transfer the block-shaped objects between the cells of a revolver and a continuously driven conveyor chain gently for the objects to be transferred, even at a high rotational speed of the conveyor chain.
  • the cells of the turret are arranged so as to be displaceable in the axial direction and can be coupled in the transfer position to a slide which accelerates the respective cell in the conveying direction of the conveyor chain in such a way that the cell reaches the object to be picked up which is in the cell practically has the speed of the conveyor chain due to the driver.
  • the proposed axial mobility of the cells of the revolver makes it possible to bring the cells with the block-shaped objects to be transferred therein, in the transfer position of the revolver, essentially to the advance speed of the chain conveyor, so that the drivers of the chain conveyor practically have no relative speed to the ones to be transferred Objects hit them and push them out of the cells of the revolver in the axial direction due to their own advance and the slowing down of the speed of the cells of the revolver.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section and schematically of a revolver and a conveyor chain of a cigarette packaging machine.
  • FIG. 2 shows a view along the line II-II of FIG. 1.
  • a revolver 1 which has seven cells 2 and can be rotated step by step by one cell division about its axis 3 by means of a stepping drive.
  • the turret 1 comprises a turret disk 4 and a ring 5 arranged at a distance therefrom, the disk 4 and the ring 5 being connected to one another by guide rods 6.
  • Each cell 2 of the turret 1 has a cell base 7, which is axially displaceably arranged between the disk 4 and the ring 5 via a pair of guide rods 6, since the guide rods 6 run parallel to the axis 3 of the turret 3.
  • a stationary guide disc 8 is arranged, while each foot 7 of each cell 2 is provided with two guide rollers 9 on the side facing the axis 3, the two guide rollers 9 of each cell 2 with the two Face ends of the guide disc 8 are engaged so that the cells 2 are held in position by the guide disc 8 during the rotation of the turret 1.
  • the guide disk 8 Corresponding to a transfer position to a conveyor chain 10, the guide disk 8 has a cutout 11, which is occupied by the thickness of the guide disk 8 through an insert 12.
  • the insert 12 is connected to a push rod 13 of a crank drive 15 controlled by a curve 14.
  • the conveyor chain 1o has drivers 16 at equidistant intervals and is driven continuously at a constant speed by a corresponding drive.
  • the drivers 16 consist of a driver arm 17 and a driver plate 18 arranged transversely thereto, the dimensions of which are somewhat smaller than those of the end face of the objects 19 to be taken over by the driver 16 facing the driver 16.
  • the cells 2 each have a slot 20 so that the driver arm 17 can guide the driver plate 18 through the cell 2, which is open in the axial direction.
  • the driver plate arrives 18 in engagement with the object 19 to be taken over practically without relative speed between them, so that the impact of the driver plate 18 on the object 19 takes place gently for the latter. Since the cell 2 is decelerated to zero on its further path in the conveying direction of the chain conveyor 10, the driver 16 then pushes the object 19 out of the cell 2 overhauled by it. The latter is then moved back into its starting position by the crank mechanism 15, so that when the turret 1 is indexed, its guide rollers 9 come into engagement with the guide disk 8.
  • the turret 1 can also be continuously rotating, but then the cells 2 are to be fastened with their guide rods 6 to pivot levers which are cam-controlled in such a way that the cells 2 are pivoted into the transfer area before reaching the transfer position and during one for the transfer are held in this position for a sufficiently long period of time so that the cells 2 are kept practically stationary despite the continuous rotation of the turret 1 during the transfer position, as described in patent application P 39 43 086.3.
