Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for changing the longitudinal axial distance of pairs of coaxially aligned rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, which are conveyed in two adjacent rows transversely along a conveying path, with conveying drums on the outer circumference having troughs for feeding and discharging the neighboring rows of articles, and at least in the area of one of the two series of articles interacting with the spreading drums and having holding troughs.
  • Devices of the type described above are used, for example, in machines for producing cigarettes or filter cigarettes which, after the separation of double-length filter cigarettes into filter cigarettes of simple length, pass through the machine in double lanes in the above-mentioned formation and orientation and are separated axially, for example, for separate inspection on two lanes or to be supplied to such test facilities on spread paths.
  • Another possible application would be the spreading of cut double-length tobacco sticks, between which a double-length filter rod is to be inserted and connected to the tobacco sticks.
  • a device of the type mentioned, which became known from DE-OS 38 17 740, has two relatively space-consuming conical drums with opposite conicity for the axial displacement of cigarettes for each row to be separated.
  • the invention has for its object to further improve a device of the type described above.
  • the expansion means are designed as a parallel disk drive, which is arranged inclined to the axes of rotation of the conveyor drums and the holding troughs are arranged at the ends of drive pins of the parallel disk drive.
  • the construction is such that the drive pins are aligned parallel to one another and to the axes of the conveyor drums.
  • the parallel pulley drive has two drive pulleys rotating around eccentrically offset axes of rotation, whereby according to a further development one of the drive pulleys of the parallel pulley drive has a central drive and is connected to the other drive pulley via the eccentrically arranged drive pins.
  • the drive pins are expediently designed as pivot pins mounted in the drive disks, whereby according to an additional proposal, each holding trough is assigned to a trough carrier which a corresponding crank pin receives by means of a rotary bearing.
  • a preferred embodiment provides that the pivot bearing of the trough carrier at the same time forms a bearing of the crank pin, which is secured against rotation by a peripheral recess of a drive disk , is slidably received.
  • the stable alignment of the holding troughs is achieved in that the trough supports are provided with separate anti-rotation means which allow a relative longitudinal displacement.
  • These anti-rotation means are expediently designed as pairs of two trough carriers in the outer position of the holding troughs which lock against one another rotation lock.
  • a further simplified variant of the drive concept according to the invention is that a drive pulley of the parallel pulley drive has a cardanic bearing and is connected to the central drive shaft by means of a transverse pin swivel joint and on the outer circumference by transverse pin swivel joints to the drive pin, which on the one hand is firmly connected to the trough supports and on the other hand, are pivotally mounted in the second drive disk.
  • a problem-free suction air connection to the holding troughs of the drive pulley is ensured according to a special embodiment in that the swivel connection is designed as a spherical bearing.
  • a further simplification of the parallel disk drive is achieved in that the inclined drive disks can be driven about a single common axis.
  • the construction according to the invention ensures, without translatory sliding movements or rolling movements on curves, that the holding troughs are always parallel to themselves in every rotational position of the spreading means. Due to the lack of translationally moving parts, vibrations are avoided and low-wear operation of a compact device is ensured.
  • the expanding means shown in Figure 1 are designed as a parallel disk drive 1 and assigned to a drum arrangement, consisting of a conveyor drum 3 rotating about an axis 2 for bringing two parallel rows 4 and 5 of filter cigarettes 6, which are conveyed transversely to their longitudinal axes and are aligned coaxially to one another in pairs Conveyor drum 8 rotating about an axis 7 for taking over and further conveying the row of filter cigarettes 4 and a conveying drum 10 rotating about an axis 9 for taking over the row of filter cigarettes 4 and the row of filter cigarettes 5 spaced apart.
  • the conveyor drums 3, 8 and 10 are provided on the circumference with holding troughs 11 for the filter cigarettes 6, the controlled holding air bores 12 of which can be connected to suction air chambers 13 of stationary drum bodies 14 or 15 or 16, around which the conveyor drums 3 or 8 or 10 rotate each.
  • a gear 17 serves as the drive means for the central intermediate conveyor drum 8, while the drive means for the conveyor drums 3 and 10 consist of gear wheels 17a and 17b which mesh with the gear 17.
  • the parallel disk drive 1 for spreading the right row of filter cigarettes 5 during the transfer from the conveyor drum 8 to the conveyor drum 10 has two parallel and eccentrically offset drive disks 18 and 19, the parallel axes of rotation 20 and 21 of which are inclined to the axes 2, 7 and 9 of the conveyor drums 3 or 8 or 10 run.
  • the inner drive pulley 19 can be driven by means of a gearwheel 22 through its front Hirth toothing 23, while the outer drive pulley 18 is driven by the inner drive pulley 19 via drive cranks 24.
  • the outer bearing bodies 27 of the trough supports 26 and the Rotary bearings of the drive cranks 24 within the drive pulley 19 are held in a wrench-like manner by peripheral, slot-like recesses 28 of the drive pulley 19 in such a way that they are secured against rotation during the rotation of the drive pulley 19 on their conical path in the recesses 28 so as to be longitudinally displaceable.
  • the holding troughs 11 of the trough carriers 26, which are guided parallel to themselves and parallel to the axes 2, 7, 9 of the conveying drums 3, 8 and 10, are always held in a stable outer position in which they hold filter cigarettes 6
  • the trough carriers 26 are also provided with corresponding suction air chambers 13 for supplying suction air to the holding troughs, which suction chambers are connected to a stationary control body 29 via the hollow drive cranks 24.
  • the direct central drive is effected by a gear 130 and bevel gears 131 on the outer drive pulley 118.
  • the inner drive pulley 119 is driven by the drive pulley 118 via the drive cranks 124.
  • the drive pins 125 of the drive cranks 124 receive the trough carriers 126 in a rotatable manner via separate bearing bodies 132, while the bearing bodies 127 serve exclusively to mount the drive cranks in the inner drive disk 119.
  • FIGS. 3b to 3d show modified embodiments of anti-rotation means for the trough carrier 126. According to FIG.
  • the frictional connection of the sliding lug 133 is produced in that two permanent magnets 135 bring the trough carriers 126 into contact with the sliding lug 133 in pairs.
  • a stable position of the trough carriers 126 is achieved by means of a claw connection 136 which acts as an anti-rotation lock, tension springs 137 keeping the trough carriers 126 still.
  • two trough carriers 126 are each connected by means of a spring wire 138 which acts as a twist lock.
  • the inner and outer drive pulleys 218, 219 are assigned a single common drive axle 207, the inner drive pulley 219 being driven centrally by a hollow drive shaft 239, the drive claw 240 of which is connected to the drive pulley 219 by means of a cross pin swivel joint 241.
  • a bearing pin 242 led out of the hollow shaft 239 with a flange 243 serves to receive the outer drive pulley 218.
  • the outer drive pulley 218 is driven via straight drive pins 225, which by means of a swivel joint in the form of a spherical bearing 244 in the Drive pulley 218 mounted and connected to the inner drive pulley 219 by means of a cross pin swivel 245.
  • the trough carriers 226 are secured against rotation with the drive pins 225.
  • the inner drive pulley 219 has a gimbal bearing 246, the axis of rotation of which is designated 247.
