Aus der DE-A-3 744 105 ist ein Wendegerät für Bobinen aus Verpackungsmaterial bekannt, das ein Fahrgestell aufweist, das eine Säule trägt, längs der eine Hülse flaschenzugartig höhenverschiebbar angeordnet ist. Die Hülse ist mit einer im Winkel von 45° zur Horizontalen angeordneten Drehachse versehen, die ihrerseits eine durch Drehen der Drehachse zwischen einer horizontalen und einer vertikalen Stellung verstellbare Anschlagplatte trägt, die mittig mit einem senkrecht abstehenden Aufnahmezapfen für Bobinen versehen ist. Der Aufnahmezapfen besitzt manuell betätigbare, durch Schlitze ausfahrbare Spannbacken, die bei in eine Bobine eingeführtem Aufnahmezapfen zum Halten der Bobine betätigt werden. Flach liegende Bobinen werden von Paletten aufgenommen und an einem Maschinengestell vertikal auf entsprechende Aufnahmezapfen manuell überschoben. Für Zigarettenverpackungsmaterial, dessen Bobinen an sich sehr flach und für den Aufreißstreifen der Klarsichtfolie besonders flach sind, ist derartiges nicht geeignet, wobei hinzukommt, daß das Wendegerät insgesamt nur manuell bedienbar ist.From DE-A-3 744 105, a turning device for bobbins made of packaging material is known, which has a chassis which carries a column, along which a sleeve is arranged such that it can be moved vertically in the manner of a block and tackle. The sleeve is provided with an axis of rotation arranged at an angle of 45 ° to the horizontal, which in turn carries a stop plate which can be adjusted between a horizontal and a vertical position by rotating the axis of rotation and which is provided in the center with a vertically projecting locating pin for bobbins. The locating pin has manually operable clamping jaws which can be extended by slots and which, when the locating pin is inserted into a bobbin, is used to hold the bobbin will. Flat bobbins are picked up by pallets and manually pushed vertically onto the corresponding mounting pins on a machine frame. Such is not suitable for cigarette packaging material, the bobbins of which are very flat per se and particularly flat for the tear strip of the transparent film, with the fact that the turning device can only be operated manually as a whole.

Aus der DE-A-4 210 592 ist ein Hochregallager für bobinenförmiges Zigarettenverpackungsmaterial bekannt, dem einerseits auf Paletten angeförderte Bobinen zugeführt, flach liegend gespeichert und andererseits entsprechend dem Bedarf an den einzelnen Zigarettenverpackungsmaschinen Bobinen entnommen werden. Zum Zuführen der entnommenen Bobinen zu den einzelnen Verbrauchern, den Zigarettenverpackungsmaschinen, sind Einschienenhängebahnen für elektromotorisch antreibbare Transportwagen zur Überkopfverteilung vorgesehen, wobei die Transportwagen Bodenplatten aufweisen, auf den die Bobinen horizontal aufliegend aufgenommen werden. Hierbei sind Parallelweichen vorgesehen, um bei einer Übergabe des Verpackungsmaterials an einen Verbraucher eine Staugefahr für nachfolgende Transportwagen zu vermeiden.From DE-A-4 210 592 a high-bay warehouse for bobbin-shaped cigarette packaging material is known, to which bobbins conveyed on pallets are fed on the one hand, stored lying flat and on the other hand bobbins are removed according to the need for the individual cigarette packaging machines. To supply the removed bobbins to the individual consumers, the cigarette packaging machines, monorail overhead conveyors are provided for overhead transport distribution trolleys, the trolleys having base plates on which the bobbins are received lying horizontally. Here, parallel switches are provided in order to avoid the risk of a traffic jam for subsequent transport trolleys when the packaging material is handed over to a consumer.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Übergabestation für bobinenförmiges Zigarettenverpackungsmaterial, beispielsweise von einem Transportwagen einer Hängebahn, zu einer Zigarettenverpackungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine automatische Ver- und Entsorgung mit frischen Bobinen bzw. von Bobinenkernen ermöglicht.The object of the invention is to provide a transfer station for bobbin-shaped cigarette packaging material, for example from a trolley of a monorail, to a cigarette packaging machine of the type mentioned at the beginning, which enables automatic supply and disposal with fresh bobbins or from bobbin cores.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß ein zwischen zwei um 180° versetzten Stellungen verdrehbarer Drehteller mit zwei um 180° versetzten Aufnahmezapfen für Bobinen vorgesehen ist, wobei die Einrichtung zangenartige Greifarme zum umfänglichen Ergreifen von Bobinen bzw. Bobinenkernen aufweist und längs des Arms verschiebbar ist.This object is achieved in that a turntable rotatable between two positions offset by 180 ° is provided with two receiving pins for bobbins offset by 180 °, the device having pincer-like gripping arms for extensive gripping of bobbins or bobbin cores and being displaceable along the arm.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further refinements of the invention can be found in the following description and the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines in den beigefügten Abbildungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying figures.

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch eine Übergabestation für bobinenförmiges Zigarettenverpackungsmaterial in Frontansicht.1 schematically shows a transfer station for bobbin-shaped cigarette packaging material in a front view.

Fig. 2 zeigt schematisch die Übergabestation von Fig. 1 in Seitenansicht.Fig. 2 shows schematically the transfer station of Fig. 1 in side view.

Das zur Übergabestation führende Transportsystem ist eine Einschienenhängebahn, von der eine über Kopf angeordnete Schiene 1 mit einer Parallelweiche 2 gezeigt ist. Die Schiene 1 besitzt einen im wesentlichen U-förmigen, nach unten offenen Querschnitt mit rechtwinklig einwärts gebogenen freien Enden der Seitenschenkel, wobei Laufrollen 3 an einem aufwärts ragenden Fortsatz 4 von Transportwagen 5 von der Schiene 1 geführt werden und auf den einwärts gebogenen Enden der Seitenschenkel laufen.The transport system leading to the transfer station is a monorail overhead conveyor, of which an overhead rail 1 with a parallel switch 2 is shown. The rail 1 has a substantially U-shaped, downwardly open cross-section with free ends of the side legs which are bent inwards at right angles, wherein rollers 3 are guided on an upwardly projecting extension 4 of transport carriages 5 by the rail 1 and on the inwards bent ends of the side legs to run.

Die Transportwagen 5 besitzen einen nicht dargestellten elektromotorischen Antrieb und umfassen einen an dem Fortsatz 4 befestigten, nach einer Seite hin offenen Tragbügel 6 mit einer horizontalen Bodenplatte 7 zur flachliegenden Aufnahme einer Bobine 8 aus Zigarettenverpackungsmaterial (Innenpapier, Außenpapier usw.).The transport trolleys 5 have an electromotive drive, not shown, and comprise a support bracket 6 fastened to the extension 4 and open on one side with a horizontal base plate 7 for receiving a bobbin 8 made of cigarette packaging material (inner paper, outer paper, etc.) lying flat.

Die Parallelweiche 2 umfaßt zwei horizontal und in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Schiene 1 hin und her schiebbare Schienenabschnitte 9, so daß jeweils ein Schienenabschnitt 9 eine entsprechende Lücke in der Schiene 1 überbrückt, so daß die Schiene 1 ununterbrochen befahrbar ist, während der andere Schienenabschnitt 9 sich verschoben hierzu befindet. Die beiden parallelen Schienenabschnitte 9 sind an einem Wagen 10 befestigt, der in einer Führung 11 verfahrbar ist.The parallel switch 2 comprises two rail sections 9 which can be pushed back and forth horizontally and in a direction perpendicular to the rail 1, so that in each case one rail section 9 bridges a corresponding gap in the rail 1, so that the rail 1 can be used continuously while the other rail section 9 is shifted to this. The two parallel rail sections 9 are fastened to a carriage 10 which can be moved in a guide 11.

In Fig. 2 ist der mittlere Schienenabschnitt 9 mit der Schiene 1 fluchtend dargestellt und nach Aufnahme eines Transportwagen 5 nach rechts in die gestrichelte Übergabeposition überführbar, während gleichzeitig der linke Schienenabschnitt 9 in die mittlere und damit mit der Schiene 1 fluchtende Position gelangt.2, the middle rail section 9 is shown in alignment with the rail 1 and, after receiving a transport carriage 5, can be moved to the right into the dashed transfer position, while at the same time the left rail section 9 arrives in the middle position and thus in alignment with the rail 1.

Der Transportwagen 5 kann auch mehrere Bobinen 8 tragen und als Zwischenspeicher für Bobinen 8 dienen.The transport carriage 5 can also carry several bobbins 8 and serve as a buffer for bobbins 8.

In der Übergabestation befindet sich an einem Ständer 12 montiert eine Drehachse 13, die über einen Motor 14 um jeweils 180° drehbar ist. Die Drehachse 13 verläuft in einer Vertikalebene senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Schiene 1 in einem Winkel von 45° zur Horizontalen. Das freie Ende der Drehachse 13 trägt zwei in einem Winkel von 90° zueinander angeordnete Arme 15, 16, von denen immer einer horizontal und der andere vertikal verläuft.Mounted on a stand 12 in the transfer station is an axis of rotation 13 which can be rotated by 180 ° in each case via a motor 14. The axis of rotation 13 extends in a vertical plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rail 1 at an angle of 45 ° to the horizontal. The free end of the axis of rotation 13 carries two at an angle of 90 ° to each other arranged arms 15, 16, one of which always runs horizontally and the other vertically.

Auf jedem Arm 15, 16 ist eine Führungshülse 17 angeordnet, an der ein Greifer 18 bzw. 19 befestigt ist. Die Führungshülsen 17 und damit die Greifer 18 bzw. 19 sind mittels eines entsprechenden Antriebs, etwa eines Zylinders 20, einer Kugelrollspindel oder einer Zahnstange mit Ritzel und Elektromotor od.dgl., entlang des zugehörigen Arms 15 bzw. 16 verschiebbar.A guide sleeve 17 is arranged on each arm 15, 16, to which a gripper 18 or 19 is fastened. The guide sleeves 17 and thus the grippers 18 and 19 can be displaced along the associated arm 15 or 16 by means of a corresponding drive, for example a cylinder 20, a ball screw spindle or a toothed rack with pinion and electric motor or the like.

Die Greifer 18 bzw. 19 umfassen im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel einen Greiferrahmen 21 mit zwei darin gegenüberliegend angeordneten Paaren von in Richtung aufeinanderzu in eine zangenartige Greifstellung beweglichen Greiferarmen 22, die an ihren freien, mit der jeweiligen Bobine 8 in Eingriff gelangenden Enden gerundet bzw. insbesondere mit Rollen 23 versehen sind. Der an der dem Arm 15 bzw. 16 gegenüberliegenden Seite offene Greiferrahmen 21 ist soweit geschlossen, daß bei senkrechter Stellung eine aufgenommene Bobine 8 nicht herausfallen könnte und besitzt ebenfalls gerundete Enden bzw. insbesondere Rollen 24 an den Enden.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the grippers 18 and 19 comprise a gripper frame 21 with two oppositely arranged pairs of gripper arms 22 which are movable in the direction of one another into a pincer-like gripping position and which are rounded at their free ends engaging with the respective bobbin 8 or in particular with Rollers 23 are provided. The gripper frame 21, which is open on the side opposite the arm 15 or 16, is closed to such an extent that a received bobbin 8 could not fall out in the vertical position and likewise has rounded ends or in particular rollers 24 at the ends.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind zwei unterschiedliche Greifer 18 bzw. 19 vorgesehen, nämlich ein Greifer 18 zum Ergreifen einer Bobine 8 und ein Greifer 19 zum Ergreifen eines Bobinenkerns 25.In the exemplary embodiment shown, two different grippers 18 and 19 are provided, namely a gripper 18 for gripping a bobbin 8 and a gripper 19 for gripping a bobbin core 25.

Wenn sich ein Transportwagen 5 in der Übergabeposition der Parallelweiche 2 befindet und eine Bobine 8 trägt, wird der Arm 15 und damit der Greifer 18 mittels der Drehachse 13 in die vertikale Position gedreht, während sich der Greifer 18 in einer hochgefahrenen Position am freien Ende des Arms 15 befindet. Auf diese Weise gelangt der Greifer 18 in eine Position über der Bobine 8 auf dem Transportwagen 5. Der Greifer 18 wird abgesenkt und seine Greiferarme 22 in zangenartige Greifstellung gebracht, in der die Bobine 8 am Umfang fest gehalten wird. Der Greifer 18 wird wieder in seine vorherige Position angehoben und der Arm 15 über die Drehachse 13 in seine horizontale Position geschwenkt, so daß sich nunmehr die Bobine 8 in vertikaler Stellung, d.h. ihre Achse in horizontaler Stellung befindet.If a transport carriage 5 is in the transfer position of the parallel switch 2 and carries a bobbin 8, the arm 15 and thus the gripper 18 is rotated into the vertical position by means of the axis of rotation 13, while the gripper 18 rotates in a raised position at the free end of the Arms 15 is located. In this way, the gripper 18 comes into a position above the bobbin 8 on the transport carriage 5. The gripper 18 is lowered and its gripper arms 22 are brought into a gripper-like position in which the bobbin 8 is held firmly on the circumference. The gripper 18 is raised again to its previous position and the arm 15 is pivoted about its axis of rotation 13 into its horizontal position, so that the bobbin 8 is now in the vertical position, i.e. its axis is in a horizontal position.

Benachbart zu der Drehachse 13 ist eine Aufnahmeeinrichtung 26 zur Aufnahme von Bobinen 8 bei horizontaler Achse angeordnet. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeipiel umfaßt die Aufnahmeeinrichtung 26 einen Drehteller 27, der mittels eines Elektromotors 28 zwischen zwei um 180° zueinander verdrehten Stellungen verdrehbar ist und zwei spreizbare Aufnahmezapfen 29 für jeweils eine Bobine 8 besitzt.A receiving device 26 is adjacent to the axis of rotation 13 arranged to accommodate bobbins 8 with a horizontal axis. In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving device 26 comprises a turntable 27 which can be rotated between two positions rotated by 180 ° relative to one another by means of an electric motor 28 and has two expandable receiving pins 29 for one bobbin 8 each.

Die Aufnahmevorrichtung 26 kann auf einer Zigarettenverpackungsmaschine oder einer Anspleiß- und Zuführeinrichtung von Verpackungsmaterial zu einer Zigarettenverpackungsmaschine (schematisch unter dem Drehteller 27 angedeutet) angeordnet sein.The receiving device 26 can be arranged on a cigarette packaging machine or a splicing and feeding device for packaging material to a cigarette packaging machine (indicated schematically under the turntable 27).

Wenn eine Bobine 8 nahezu verbraucht ist, erfolgt ein Wechsel zur neuen Bobine 8, die aus der horizontalen Stellung des Arms 15 durch Verschieben des die neue Bobine 8 tragenden Greifers 18 auf einen leeren Aufnahmezapfen 29 geschoben wird, worauf letzterer gespreizt und damit gegen den Bobinenkern 25 gespannt wird. Der Greifer 18 wird dann wieder in seine Ausgangsposition verfahren, so daß er ein Drehen des Drehtellers 27 mit der Bobine 8 und dem Bobinenkern 25 nicht beeinträchtigen kann.When a bobbin 8 is almost used up, a change to the new bobbin 8 takes place, which is pushed out of the horizontal position of the arm 15 by moving the gripper 18 carrying the new bobbin 8 onto an empty receiving pin 29, whereupon the latter is spread and thus against the bobbin core 25 is excited. The gripper 18 is then moved back to its starting position, so that it cannot impair the rotation of the turntable 27 with the bobbin 8 and the bobbin core 25.

Durch dieses Drehen des Drehtellers 27 gelangt der Bobinenkern 25 der verbrauchten Bobine 8 in Abnahmestellung. Hierzu wird die Drehachse 13 um 180° gedreht, so daß der Arm 16 mit dem Greifer 19 in horizontale Position gelangt. Der Greifer 19 befindet sich hierbei in zum freien Ende des Arms 16 verschobener Position und wird dann in Richtung auf den Drehteller 27 verfahren, um den Bobinenkern 25 zu ergreifen, der dann in umgekehrter Richtung zur Bobine 8 zum Transportwagen 5 überführt und auf dessen Bodenplatte 7 abgelegt wird, um abtransportiert zu werden.This rotation of the turntable 27 brings the bobbin core 25 of the used bobbin 8 into the removal position. For this purpose, the axis of rotation 13 is rotated by 180 °, so that the arm 16 with the gripper 19 comes into a horizontal position. The gripper 19 is here in a position displaced towards the free end of the arm 16 and is then moved in the direction of the turntable 27 in order to grip the bobbin core 25, which then transfers in the opposite direction to the bobbin 8 to the transport carriage 5 and on its base plate 7 is put down to be transported away.

Die Drehachse 13 wird zweckmäßigerweise hin- und hergedreht, da sonst Schleifkontakte benötigt würden. Verwendet man mehr als zwei Arme 15, 16, sind allerdings Schleifkontakte notwendig. Gegebenenfalls können auch gleiche Greifer 18, 19 an den Armen 15, 16 vorgesehen sein, wenn entweder die Bobinenkerne 25 anders entfernt werden oder die Greifer 18, 19 Greiferarme 22 besitzen, die derart ausgebildet sind, daß sie sowohl Bobinen 8 als auch Bobinenkerne 25 ergreifen können. Gegebenenfalls können die Greifer 18, 19 auch nur zwei gegeneinander bewegliche Greiferarme 22 umfassen, wobei ein Greiferrahmen 21 entfällt. Gegebenenfalls kann auch noch eine Ablage zur liegenden Aufnahme einer Bobine 8 zwischen der Übergabestellung des Transportwagens 5 und der Übernahmestellung durch die Greifer 18, 19 vorgesehen sein.The axis of rotation 13 is expediently rotated back and forth, since otherwise sliding contacts would be required. If more than two arms 15, 16 are used, sliding contacts are necessary. If necessary, the same grippers 18, 19 can also be provided on the arms 15, 16 if either the bobbin cores 25 are removed differently or the grippers 18, 19 have gripper arms 22 which are designed such that they grip both bobbins 8 and bobbin cores 25 can. If necessary, the grippers 18, 19 can also have only two movable against one another Gripper arms 22 comprise, wherein a gripper frame 21 is omitted. If necessary, a tray can also be provided for the horizontal reception of a bobbin 8 between the transfer position of the transport carriage 5 and the transfer position by the grippers 18, 19.
