Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for forming portions from comminuted smoke material, in particular from cut tobacco or similar fibrous smoke material, by conveying tobacco to a portion chamber.
  • the invention also relates to a device for forming portions from comminuted smoke material, in particular from cut tobacco or similar fibrous smoke material, with a device that conveys tobacco to a portion chamber.
  • Portioning devices are already known in which tobacco is conveyed to a portioning chamber.
  • the object on which the invention is based is to create a further type of portioning of tobacco. From the tobacco portions formed according to the invention it is then possible, for example, to separate partial portions which, for. B. after compression into tubes of cigarette paper for the manufacture of cigarettes.
  • the solution according to the invention is that the tobacco is conveyed to the portion chamber by funnel-shaped circumferential belts.
  • the device mentioned at the outset is characterized in that that the feed device has funnels arranged conveyors, in particular belts.
  • the portions are formed by feeding well-loosened tobacco with individual tobacco fibers;
  • the portions formed in the portion chamber also consist of well-dissolved tobacco, which is advantageous for the homogeneity of the tobacco density in the portions.
  • This advantage plays a special role if partial portions are separated from the portions in the portion chamber, which are used as tobacco filling after compression to values customary in cigarettes, e.g. B. by introducing the separated and compressed portions in cigarette paper tubes with and without filters.
  • the partial portions have a relatively uniform density, which is advantageous for the cigarettes produced therefrom.
  • FIG 1 there is a supply 1 of tobacco 2 in a funnel 3, which is formed from two conveyors in the form of conveyor belts 4 and 6.
  • the tobacco 2 advantageously consists of shredded tobacco, e.g. B. tobacco fibers.
  • tobacco is also understood to mean pieces, in particular fibers made from reconstituted tobacco (tobacco foil) or other natural or artificially produced smoking material, or else pieces, in particular fibers made from mixtures of these substances.
  • the belts 4 and 6, which are guided over deflection rollers 4a, 4b and 6a, 6b, are preferably driven in the form of an electric motor by means of a controllable drive device 7.
  • the electric motor 7 drives the belt 6 via a toothed belt 8, which is guided via a toothed pulley 8a on the motor shaft and a toothed pulley 8b on the shaft 24 of the deflection roller 6a.
  • Another toothed belt 9 which is guided via a toothed pulley 9a on the motor shaft and a toothed pulley 9b on the shaft 23 of the deflection roller 4a, drives the belt 4.
  • Electrical energy is supplied to the electric motor 7 by means of a control arrangement 11.
  • the electric motor 7 is controlled by an on-off circuit.
  • the control signals are supplied by a keyboard arrangement (33) described later.
  • the conveying direction of the belt 4, which can be provided with drivers 12, is directed downwards according to arrow 13.
  • a further toothed pulley 16a is arranged on the shaft 23 of the deflection pulley 4a, over which a toothed belt 16 is guided.
  • the toothed belt 16 is guided over a further toothed pulley 16b, which is on the shaft 17 of a loosening arrangement 15 in stock 1 sits.
  • a plate 18 is arranged eccentrically on the shaft 17.
  • the shaft 17 and the plate 18 execute movements according to arrow 19 within the tobacco 2 in the supply 1, which are considerably faster than the movements of the belts and which loosen the tobacco 2 in the hopper 3.
  • the angle between the belts 4 and 6 is set accordingly.
  • the funnel 3 is closed off by two end walls arranged in the drawing plane of FIG. 1 but not visible there, which can be transparent. The end walls are designated by 21, 22 in FIG. If the belts 4 and 6 and the shaft 17 with the plate 18 attached to them are driven by the electric motor 7, the tobacco 2 in the supply 3 is loosened and conveyed downward as a shower 2a through a passage 26 between the rollers 4a, 6a.
  • a push button arrangement 33 ensures an approximately constant filling level of the tobacco 2b in the portion chamber 27.
  • the push button arrangement 33 has a light source 36 in the right wall, the light of which via lenses 37, 38 to a photoelectric receiver in the left wall 29, e.g. B. a photodiode 39 is passed.
  • the output signal of the photodiode 39 is fed to the control arrangement 11 for the electric gate 7, which is switched on when the level of the tobacco 26 in the portion chamber 27 drops below the level of the light barrier 33.
  • the control signal sets the electric motor 7 in motion, which drives the belts 4, 6 drives for a period of time sufficient to refill the portion chamber.
  • the electric motor is then switched off again until the level of the tobacco 2b has dropped below the light barrier 33 again.
  • the electric motor 7 is switched on again, etc.
  • the at least approximately constant volume of well-loosened tobacco with individual fibers causes a fairly constant density of the tobacco 2b. Basically 41 of the portion chamber 27, partial portions 2c are to be separated from the tobacco quantity 2b and compressed.
  • a slide 42 with a rounded recess 43 is used for this purpose, which can be moved back and forth by a drive motor 44 via a crank mechanism 46 in the direction of the double arrow 47. It compresses the bottom layer of tobacco 2c towards a tongue 48 which is also rounded. After maximum compression, in which protruding tobacco fibers are cut off on a stationary counter knife 53, the tongue 48, which has a closure 49 (FIG. 2), is moved in the longitudinal direction 51 of the separated tobacco portion 2c to a sleeve 52 made of cigarette paper and into it, the slider 42 is a guide for the tobacco 2c.
  • the slide 42 After the longitudinally axial pushing of the separated and compressed portion 2c into the sleeve 52, the slide 42 is moved in the opposite direction, ie away from the tongue 48 into the position shown.
  • the tobacco 2b can again enter the bottom 41 of the portion chamber 27 and is available for a renewed compression stroke of the slide 42 in the direction of the tongue 48.
  • An electric motor 54 can be used to drive the tongue 42 and the end 49 in the direction of the double arrow 51, which drives the tongue 48, 49 via a crank mechanism 56.
