Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for conveying rod-shaped articles in the tobacco processing industry, in particular filter rods, having a pneumatic conveying device which conveys the articles in the longitudinal axial direction, a transverse transport device having means for transversely axially conveying the articles and a receiving station connecting the pneumatic conveying device to the transverse conveying device the longitudinal-axial movement of the articles influencing in a predetermined manner and a deflection zone with means for deflecting the longitudinal-axial movement of the articles in the transverse-axial conveying direction of the transverse transport device.
  • Devices of this type are used to convey rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, in particular filter rods, from a transmitting device connected to a filter manufacturing machine or a filter supply at a high conveying rate over long distances to a receiver, for example a supply or a further processing machine.
  • the articles are conveyed longitudinally and axially at high speed under the action of compressed air.
  • the receiving station is used, which successively has the article-detecting conveying means, which equalize the article flow in a predetermined manner.
  • a distance is formed between successive articles, which ensures that the articles can be safely diverted from the longitudinal-axial to the transverse-axial direction of movement without mutual hindrance. If this article distance is too small for any reason, this can lead to disturbances in the deflection zone cause, which lead to the plant coming to a standstill and which may require complex maintenance work with the corresponding loss of production of the connected machines.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a further device of the type described above.
  • the deflection zone is assigned monitoring means connected to a control arrangement for ascertaining faults in the article movement in the deflection zone and for emitting corresponding fault signals.
  • monitoring means connected to a control arrangement for ascertaining faults in the article movement in the deflection zone and for emitting corresponding fault signals.
  • claims 12 and 13 relate to measures to prevent the occurrence of disturbances in the deflection zone as far as possible.
  • Claim 14 contains features for the self-cleaning of the conveyor lines in the receiving station.
  • the invention offers the advantage that malfunctions in the deflection zone, which can lead to the machine coming to a standstill, are recognized at an early stage and can be eliminated automatically without manual intervention. This advantage is achieved with relatively little effort in terms of construction and control technology.
  • the invention has the advantage that the sequence of the articles is monitored in the receiving station, so that it is possible to intervene before the occurrence of faults in order to eliminate errors.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 schematically show a device for conveying rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, in particular filter rods, according to the present invention in a side view (FIG. 1) and a top view (FIG. 2).
  • This is a double receiving station 1, which receives filter rods 4 in two separate tracks 2 and 3, which arrive in two pneumatic conveying lines 6 and 7 from a transmission station (not shown).
  • the longitudinal axial movement of the filter rods 4 is converted into a transverse axial conveying movement in a deflection zone 8.
  • the two conveyor tracks 2 and 3 of the double receiving station 1 are constructed identically, so that the description of one of these tracks is sufficient for understanding the structure and function of the device.
  • Each conveyor track 2 and 3 has a conveyor line 9 in which the filter rods 4 are conveyed axially.
  • Two pairs of brake rollers 11 and 12 which capture the filter rods and bring their speed to a predetermined value, engage in succession in the delivery line.
  • Downstream of the second pair of brake rollers 12, another pair of rollers 13 engages in the conveying line 9, which accelerates the filter rods one after the other and thus creates a defined distance between successive filter rods.
  • the accelerated filter rod passes through a further conveyor track section 14 and reaches the deflection zone 8.
  • the longitudinal axial movement of the filter rods 4 is deflected into a transverse axial movement.
  • a further conveyor track section 16 is provided which adjoins the conveyor track section and which has a longitudinal guide 17 with a deflection wedge 18.
  • the longitudinal guide 17 is open to the transverse transport direction. Your neighbor is one of an engine 19 driven transverse transport roller pair 21 arranged with rollers 21a and 21b (see also FIG. 4).
  • the filter rods deflected by the deflecting wedge 18 from their longitudinal axial movement reach the effective area of the transverse transport roller pair 21 and are pressed axially axially into a transverse transport path 22, where they are gripped by a pair of belts 23 and, in the exemplary embodiment shown, are conveyed horizontally into a filter rod magazine 24.
  • FIG. 2 shows the device in a partially sectioned top view, only the conveyor track 3 being shown for the sake of clarity.
  • the feed line 9 can be seen, in which the brake roller pairs 11 and 12 and the acceleration roller pair 13 engage in order to influence the longitudinal axial movement of the filter rods 4 in the desired manner.
  • the deflection zone 8 and the transverse transport path 22 with the pair of belts 23 and the transverse transport roller pair 21 can also be seen in FIG. 2.
  • the magazine 24 is also indicated.
  • a very critical area of this device is the deflection zone 8, in which the filter rods 4 are deflected from their longitudinal axial direction of movement into a transverse axial direction of movement.
  • the filter rods arrive in the deflection zone 8 one after the other with a predetermined distance, so that they do not interfere with one another during the deflection process.
  • a monitoring device 26 is provided, which in the exemplary embodiment shown consists of two opto-electrical sensors 27 and 28 and a control arrangement 29 to which the sensors are connected.
  • the sensors 27 and 28 detect the distance between the successive filter rods 4a and 4b, and the control arrangement 29 generates an error signal as soon as the distance a falls below a predetermined minimum. If the distance a becomes small, the following filter rod 4b is ejected to ensure the required minimum distance.
  • the conveyor track section 14 is open to one side immediately before the deflection zone 8, as shown in FIG. 3, which shows a section along the line C-C in FIG.
  • the conveyor track section 14 thus forms a half-open channel 31, in the rear of which a blowing air nozzle 32 opens.
  • the blown air nozzle 32 is connected to a compressed air source 34 via a valve 33.
  • the valve 33 is connected to the control arrangement 29 and is actuated by the latter in response to an error signal generated due to an insufficient distance between successive filter rods, so that the nozzle 32 emits a blast of air which ejects the relevant filter rod 4b from the guide channel 31 before he can cause a disturbance in the subsequent deflection zone 8.
  • the pair of transverse transport rollers 21 has a sensor device, in the case of the exemplary embodiment shown an opto-electrical sensor 36, which is also connected to the control arrangement 29.
  • the conveyor track section 16, which runs in the deflection zone 8 (see FIG. 1), is, as already stated above, formed by the longitudinal guide 17.
  • This longitudinal guide 17 can be pivoted about a pivot axis 37 from its operating position shown with a solid line in FIG. 2 to a service position 17a shown in broken lines.
  • a drive means 38 is provided which, as shown in the case shown, can be designed as a piston-cylinder unit. The function of this drive means 38 is also controlled by the control arrangement 29.
  • the pair of transverse transport rollers 21 is driven by a motor 19. This motor is also connected to the control arrangement 29.
  • the sensor 36 emits a signal that is sent by the control arrangement 29 is processed into a fault signal.
  • This disturbance signal immediately stops the drives of the brake roller pairs 11 and 12 and the acceleration roller pair 13, not shown in the drawing, so that the further filter transport through the receiving station to the deflection zone 8 is interrupted.
  • filter brakes 39 and 41 arranged at the end of the pneumatic conveying lines 6 and 7 can be actuated as a function of the fault signal from the control arrangement 29, so that no further filters can enter the receiving station 1 from the conveying lines.
  • a filter brake of this type is for example in DE 34 17 483 A1 described by the applicant. After the further filter supply has been interrupted, the fault signal can simply be displayed in order to draw the operator's attention to the fault. He can then take the necessary measures.
  • the fault signal of the control arrangement 29 causes the longitudinal guide 17 to pivot away into its service position 17a via the drive means 38, so that the transverse transport path 22 opens against its conveying direction (transverse transport direction 47). Together with the longitudinal guide 17, the deflecting wedge 18 is also moved out of its operating position into the corresponding service position, which is not specifically shown. Accordingly, FIG. 2 shows the deflection wedge 18 in its operating position in a broken-open section of the top view.
  • the conveying direction of the pair of transverse transport rollers 21 is reversed by switching the motor 19 in response to the fault signal, so that filter rods which have become stuck at the start of the transverse transport path 22 can be conveyed back and ejected.
  • This also applies in particular to filter rods which have been deformed during the deflection from the longitudinal-axial to the transverse-axial movement and which hinder further transport.
  • two further blown air nozzles 42 and 43 are provided, which are connected to the compressed air source 34 via valves 44 and 46.
  • the valves 44 and 46 are connected to the control arrangement 29.
  • the valves 44 and 46 are actuated, so that blows of air are emitted by the nozzles 42 and 43, which blow the delivery line 9 free, so that a correct start-up is guaranteed after the fault has been eliminated in the deflection zone 8.
  • the drive 38 swivels the longitudinal guide 17 with the deflection wedge 18 back into its operating position, the transverse transport rollers 21 are switched over in their conveying direction (transverse transport direction 47) and the drives of the brake roller pairs and the acceleration roller pair are started again. After releasing the filter brakes 39 and 41, operation can begin again.
  • the invention thus enables a fully automatic operation of the device, in which possible faults in the deflection zone 8 are prevented by distance monitoring with the sensors 27 and 28 and in which faults occurring in the deflection zone are detected early with the sensor 36 and by the measures described without manual intervention Intervention can be eliminated automatically.
