Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Transport und zur Abtrennung von Scheiben von Tabakballen oder ähnlichem gepreßten Gut mittels eines vertikal oder schräg nach unten bewegbaren Trennorgans, dem der Ballen durch einen Förderer zugeführt wird, wobei eine Abstützung vorgesehen ist, die an der in Förderrichtung hinteren Seite des Ballens anliegt; siehe WO 87/02868.The invention relates to a device for transporting and separating slices of tobacco bales or similar pressed material by means of a vertically or obliquely downwardly movable separating member, to which the bale is fed by a conveyor, wherein a support is provided which is attached to the in the conveying direction back of the bale; see WO 87/02868.

Für die Behandlung von Tabakballen sind Konditioniertrommeln bekannt, denen der Tabak in Scheiben zugeführt wird. Zur Abtrennung der Scheiben sind grundsätzlich zwei Arten von Vorrichtungen in Gebrauch, die den Tabakballen entweder in einer horizontalen oder einer vertikalen Ebene trennen.Conditioning drums are known for the treatment of tobacco bales, to which the tobacco is fed in slices. Basically, two types of devices are used to separate the slices, which separate the tobacco ball either in a horizontal or a vertical plane.

Bei der horizontalen Trennung wird der Tabakballen auf einen Hubtisch gefördert. Der Hubtisch positioniert den Ballen so, daß ein gabelartiges Trennorgan eine Scheibe bestimmter Dicke vom Ballen abtrennt. Ein weiterer Schieber befördert die abgetrennte Scheibe dann durch einen Übergabeschacht in die Konditioniertrommel.With the horizontal separation, the tobacco bale is conveyed to a lifting table. The lifting table positions the bale in such a way that a fork-like separating element separates a disc of a certain thickness from the bale. Another slider then conveys the separated slice through a transfer shaft into the conditioning drum.

Im Gegensatz dazu wird in WO 87/02868 bei der vertikalen Trennung der Ballen mit einem Schieber auf einen Schneidtisch geschoben, an dessen Abgabeende ein Trennorgan angeordnet ist, das den Ballen von oben nach unten vertikal durchschneidet. Die abgetrennten Scheiben fallen auf ein nachgeschaltetes Förderband. Nach jedem Schnitt wird der Ballen unter dem dann angehobenen Trennorgan durch den Schieber in die nächste Schnittposition geschoben. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß durch das vertikale Trennen ein besser zu verarbeitender Tabak hergestellt werden kann, sodaß diese Art der Trennung vielfach bevorzugt wird.In contrast, in WO 87/02868 the vertical separation of the bales is pushed with a slide onto a cutting table, at the discharge end of which a separating element is arranged, which cuts the bale vertically from top to bottom. The separated slices fall onto a downstream conveyor belt. After each cut, the bale is pushed into the next cutting position by the slide under the separating element that is then raised. It has been shown that tobacco can be processed better by vertical separation can be produced so that this type of separation is often preferred.

Nachteilig bei allen bekannten Vorrichtungen ist, daß Ballen, die nicht getrennt werden müßten, der Konditionieranlage über eine getrennte Förderstrecke zugeführt werden müssen, weil eine Weiterbewegung des Ballens nur durch den taktweise bewegten Schieber möglich ist, der die am Ballen anliegende Abstützung darstellt.A disadvantage of all known devices is that bales, which do not have to be separated, have to be fed to the conditioning system via a separate conveying path, because further movement of the bale is only possible through the cyclically moved slide, which represents the support resting on the bale.

Die Erfindung hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit der es möglich ist, Tabakballen auch ohne Betätigung des Trennorganes zügig zu befördern. Erreicht wird dies dadurch, daß der Förderer als Stetigförderer, vorzugsweise als Bandförderer ausgebildet und die Abstützung aus dem Förderweg des Ballens bewegbar ist.The invention has set itself the goal of creating a device of the type mentioned, with which it is possible to move tobacco bales quickly without actuating the separating member. This is achieved in that the conveyor is designed as a continuous conveyor, preferably as a belt conveyor, and the support can be moved out of the conveying path of the bale.

Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist es möglich, nach der Bewegung der Abstützung aus der Bahn des Ballens diesen durch den Stetigförderer rasch bis zum Trennorgan zu befördern. Während der Trennvorgänge kann der Stetigförderer schrittweise bewegt werden. Die Abstützung braucht nicht von Beginn an wirken, sondern erst dann, wenn ein Umfallen des Restballens zu befürchten wäre.In the case of a device according to the invention, it is possible, after the support has moved out of the path of the bale, to convey it quickly through the continuous conveyor to the separating member. The continuous conveyor can be moved step by step during the separation processes. The support does not need to work from the beginning, but only when there is a risk of the remaining bale falling over.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es demnach zweckmäßig, wenn der Stetigförderer mit mindestens zwei Geschwindigkeiten antreibbar ist.In the context of the invention, it is therefore expedient if the continuous conveyor can be driven at at least two speeds.

Um die der Konditionieranlage zugeführte Menge eindeutig bestimmen zu können, ist es insbesondere beim Durchlauf von Ballen, die nicht getrennt werden, vorteilhaft, wenn dem Stetigförderer ein mit einer Wägeeinrichtung ausgestatteter Förderer vorgeschaltet ist.In order to be able to clearly determine the quantity supplied to the conditioning system, it is advantageous, in particular when passing through bales that are not separated, if a conveyor equipped with a weighing device is connected upstream of the continuous conveyor.

Um zu verhindern, daß das die letzten beiden Scheiben enthaltende Reststück des Ballens vom Stetigförderer abkippt, ist nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung in Förderrichtung des Ballens nach dem Trennorgan ein Stützorgan für den Ballen vorgesehen, wobei eine Steuerung angeordnet ist, die die Wirksamkeit des Stützorganes vor der Durchführung der letzten Trennung steuert.In order to prevent the rest of the bale containing the last two slices from tipping over from the continuous conveyor, a support element for the bale is provided according to a further feature of the invention in the direction of conveyance of the bale after the separating element, with a control being arranged which controls the effectiveness of the support element controls before performing the last separation.

Um einen einwandfreien Bewegungsablauf bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zu erreichen, hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, wenn in Förderrichtung des Ballens drei, auf dessen Durchgang ansprechende Steuerorgane, z.B. Lichtschranken, Taster od.dgl. angeordnet sind, wobei das in Förderrichtung erste, am Ende des vorgeschalteten Förderers angeordnete, dessen Antrieb, das zweite die Bewegung der Abstützung in den Förderweg, und das dritte die Geschwindigkeit des Stetigförderers sowie'die Rückbewegung der Abstützung steuert.In order to achieve a smooth movement in a device according to the invention, it has proven to be useful if three control elements, e.g. Light barriers, buttons or the like are arranged, wherein the first in the conveying direction, arranged at the end of the upstream conveyor, the drive thereof, the second controls the movement of the support in the conveying path, and the third controls the speed of the continuous conveyor and the return movement of the support.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung an Hand eines in den Zeichungen schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen die Fig.1 bis Fig.10 eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung jeweils in verschiedenen Stadien ihrer Tätigkeit in Ansicht. Bei den Fig.1, 5 und 7 ist dabei das in Förderrichtung des Ballens nach dem Trennorgan angeordnete Stützorgan auch in Draufsicht dargestellt.The invention is described in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment schematically illustrated in the drawings. 1 to 10 each show a device according to the invention in different stages of its operation. 1, 5 and 7, the support member arranged in the conveying direction of the bale after the separating member is also shown in a top view.

Gemäß den Zeichnungen weist eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung einen Bandförderer 1, ein Zuführband 2 und ein Entnahmeband 3 auf. Am Ende des Bandförderers 1 ist ein in einer wenigstens annähernd vertikalen Ebene hin- und herbewegbares Trennorgan 4 angeordnet. Oberhalb des Bandförderers 1 befindet sich eine im Beispiel klappenartige Abstützung 5. Ein in Förderrichtung des Ballens B nach dem Trennorgan 4 angeordnetes Stützorgan 6 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Art eines zweiflügeligen Tores ausgebildet.According to the drawings, a device according to the invention has a belt conveyor 1, a feed belt 2 and a removal belt 3. At the end of the belt conveyor 1 there is a separating member 4 which can be moved back and forth in an at least approximately vertical plane. Above the belt conveyor 1 there is a flap-like support 5. In the exemplary embodiment, a support member 6 arranged in the conveying direction of the bale B after the separating member 4 is designed in the manner of a double-leaf gate.

Zur Steuerung einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind in Förderrichtung des Ballens B hintereinander angeordnete Steuerorgane, insbesondere Lichtschranken L1, L2 und L3 angeordnet.To control a device according to the invention, control elements, in particular light barriers L1, L2 and L3, are arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction of the bale B.

In der in Fig.1 gezeigten Ausgangsstellung der Vorrichtung bewegt sich ein auf dem Zuführband 2 liegender Ballen B im Eilgang in Richtung zum Bandförderer 1. Die Abstützung 5 ist hochgeschwenkt und befindet sich in ihrer hintersten Stellung. Das Stützorgan 6 ist in seiner unwirksamen Stellung, d.h. seine Flügel sind geöffnet. Das Trennorgan 4 ist in seiner oberen Stellung.In the starting position of the device shown in FIG. 1, a bale B lying on the feed belt 2 moves in rapid traverse in the direction of the belt conveyor 1. The support 5 is pivoted up and is in its rearmost position. The support member 6 is in its inactive position, ie its wings are open. The separator 4 is in its upper position.

Würde es sich um einen Ballen B handeln, von dem keine Scheiben abzutrennen sind, kann dieser Ballen B ohne Behinderung und im Eilgang auf das Entnahmeband 3 und von dort in die Konditionieranlage gefördert werden. Dessen Gewicht könnte durch eine dem Zuführband 2 zugeordnete Wägeeinrichtung (nicht dargestellt) bestimmt werden.If it were a bale B from which no slices can be separated, this bale B can be conveyed without hindrance and at high speed onto the removal belt 3 and from there into the conditioning system. Its weight could be determined by a weighing device (not shown) assigned to the feed belt 2.

Soll der Ballen B jedoch in Scheiben zertrennt werden, stoppt die Lichtschranke L3 den Eilgang des Bandförderers 1 und schaltet auf eine langsame Bewegung um (Fig.2).However, if the bale B is to be cut into slices, the light barrier L3 stops the rapid traverse of the belt conveyor 1 and switches to a slow movement (Fig. 2).

Aus der bestimmten Fördergeschwindigkeit des Bandförderers 1 wird der Weg errechnet, der bis zum Abwärtsgang des Trennorganes 4 erforderlich ist, um eine Scheibe S gewünschter Stärke abzutrennen. Die Abtrennung der ersten Scheibe S ist in Fig.3 dargestellt, wobei die abgetrennte Scheibe S auf das Entnahmeband 3 fällt und von diesem der Konditionieranlage zugeführt wird.From the determined conveying speed of the belt conveyor 1, the path is calculated which is required up to the downward movement of the separating element 4 in order to separate a disk S of the desired thickness. The separation of the first disc S is shown in FIG. 3, the separated disc S falling onto the removal belt 3 and being fed from it to the conditioning system.

Nach Abtrennung einer Anzahl von Scheiben S wird die in Fig.4 gezeigte Lage des Ballens B erreicht, in der dieser die Lichtschranke L2 freigibt und damit das Einschwenken der Abstützung 5 bewirkt wird. Die Abstützung 5 legt sich an die Hinterseite des Ballens B an und wird von diesem mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit mitbewegt, z.B. durch Koppelung mit dem Bandförderer 1.After a number of disks S have been removed, the position of the bale B shown in FIG. 4 is reached, in which the bale releases the light barrier L2 and the pivoting of the support 5 is thus effected. The support 5 bears against the rear of the bale B and is moved by it at the same speed, e.g. by coupling with the belt conveyor 1.

Erreicht der Restballen B1 vor dem letzten Schnitt eine Stärke, die ein Abkippen des Restballens befürchten läßt, wird durch eine entsprechende Steuerung das Stützorgan 6 eingeschwenkt (Fig.5), sodaß beim letzten Schnitt eine Abstützung von beiden Seiten her erfolgt (Fig.6).If the rest of the bale B1 reaches a thickness prior to the last cut that leads to fear that the rest of the bale will tip over, the support member 6 is pivoted in by a corresponding control (FIG. 5), so that support is provided from both sides during the last cut (FIG. 6). .

Nach Durchführung des letzten Schnittes wird gemäß Fig.7 das Stützorgan 6 wieder in seine unwirksame Lage gebracht, sodaß die vorletzte Scheibe S auf das Entnahmeband 3 fallen kann. Nach dem Hochgehen des Trennorganes 4 kippt die letzte Scheibe SL auf das Entnahmeband 3 (Fig.8).After the last cut has been made, the support member 6 is brought back into its inactive position according to FIG. 7, so that the penultimate disk S can fall onto the removal belt 3. After the separating element 4 has gone up, the last disc SL tilts onto the removal belt 3 (FIG. 8).

Die Lichtschranke L3 wird damit freigegeben und steuert das Hochschwenken und Zurückfahren der Abstützung 5 entsprechend den Fig.9 und Fig.10. Der seit der Stellung gemäß Fig.5 durch die Lichtschranke L1 gestoppte nächste Ballen B wird nun wieder im Eilgang bis zur Lichtschranke L3 befördert und das Arbeitsspiel beginnt von neuem.The light barrier L3 is thus released and controls the swiveling up and retraction of the support 5 in accordance with FIGS. 9 and 10. According to the position 5 the next bale B stopped by the light barrier L1 is now conveyed again in rapid traverse to the light barrier L3 and the work cycle begins again.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind zahlreiche Abänderungen möglich. So kann der Bandförderer während des Schneidzyklus schrittweise arbeiten oder er wird stetig langsam weiter betrieben, wobei während des eigentlichen Trennvorganges der Ballen B auf dem Bandförderer 1 rutscht. Es ist auch möglich, das Entnahmeband 3 mit einer Wägeeinrichtung zu versehen. Die Ausbildung der Abstützung 5 und der Abstützorgane 6 kann vielfältig variiert werden, ebenso wie die Ausbildung der Steuerorgane. Statt einem Bandförderer 1 könnte auch ein Rollenförderer, Gliederbandförderer oder ein sonstiger Stetigförderer verwendet werden.Numerous modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. Thus, the belt conveyor can work step by step during the cutting cycle or it is continuously operated slowly, whereby the bale B slides on the belt conveyor 1 during the actual separation process. It is also possible to provide the removal belt 3 with a weighing device. The design of the support 5 and the support members 6 can be varied in many ways, as can the design of the control members. Instead of a belt conveyor 1, a roller conveyor, link belt conveyor or another continuous conveyor could also be used.
