Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the transverse axial conveying and turning of rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry about their longitudinal axis along or in the area of a rigidly aligned processing tool, in particular a laser, assigned to a conveyor drum receiving the articles in holding troughs.
  • “Rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry” are understood in the sense of the invention in particular to mean cigarettes or filter cigarettes which are subjected to a wide variety of processing operations in the course of their assembly, for example on a so-called filter attachment machine.
  • the processing tools used in the broadest sense also include, for example, measuring or testing devices for monitoring the outer dimensions or for detecting defects or damage to the peripheral surface of the outer wrapping of the articles.
  • a particularly important form of processing in connection with the conveying and rotating device of the article according to the invention is perforation, that is to say the introduction of a zone of desired air permeability into the filter section of the article, for example by electrical or spark perforation and very particularly by perforation of a peripheral zone by means of a qualitative and quantitatively powerful laser.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a conveyor and rotating device of the type mentioned and to adapt the performance of the machining tool.
  • the holding troughs which are rotatably mounted and in the region of the machining tool move back against the direction of rotation of the conveyor drum and thereby rotate about its bearing axis.
  • the drive means are designed such that they give the holding troughs a rotary movement of at least 360 °.
  • an exact ring-shaped processing zone of the articles is ensured by designing the drive means, which gives the holding troughs a circumferential speed which is opposite to the circumferential speed of the conveyor drum prevailing at the radius of their bearing axis.
  • the gear chain has one that supports the holding troughs, rotates with the conveyor drum and runs on an eccentric to the drum axis
  • Drive shaft arranged swivel arm includes.
  • a compact design of the drive means is ensured according to an additional proposal in that the drive shaft of the swivel arm is mounted in a housing connected to a drive shaft of the conveyor drum and is rotatably connected to a cam-controlled roller lever.
  • a permanently safe mode of operation of this drive means is provided in that the roller lever is operatively connected to a cam disc which has two cam tracks, is arranged in a stationary manner and is concentric with the drum axis.
  • the swivel arm is designed as a gear housing, the bearing shaft rotating the trough is operatively connected via a gear transmission with a sun gear arranged rotatably relative to the drive shaft of the swivel arm.
  • rod-shaped articles in the form of double filter cigarettes 2 which are received on both sides with the exception of a central zone of holding troughs 3 and are held by suction air, over the circumference of their filter section 4 by means of an arrow 6, Provide stationary and rigidly aligned to the article scope processing tool in the form of a laser with a perforation 5.
  • the double filter cigarettes 2 are rotated 360 ° around their longitudinal axis during their transverse axial transport on the conveyor drum 1 as they pass the laser 6 and their conveying movement along the circular path of the conveyor drum 1 is briefly interrupted or the double filter cigarettes are at least for the duration of a complete self-rotation held at a standstill relative to the laser.
  • each holding trough 3 of which several are provided on the circumference of the conveyor drum 1 according to FIG. 3, is provided with corresponding drive means, consisting of a swivel arm 9 receiving the holding trough 3 by means of a bearing shaft 7 so as to be rotatable with an axis 8, and one within the Gear mechanism 12 arranged as a gear housing 11 arranged swivel arm.
  • the swivel arm 9 has an eccentric and parallel to the drum axis 13 of the conveyor drum 1 drive shaft 14, with which it or its housing 11 is fixedly connected to a flange 16 by means of screws 17.
  • the drive shaft 14 is mounted in a bearing housing 18 which is firmly connected by means of screws 19 to a flange 21 of a drive shaft 22 of the conveyor drum 1.
  • the drive shaft 14 is rotatably connected to a cam-controlled roller lever 23, the oppositely mounted rollers 24, 26 with two endless cam tracks 27 and 28 of a fixed cam 29 are in operative connection.
  • the cam plate 29 of this cam mechanism formed from the above-mentioned elements is connected to a stationary bearing housing 31 of the conveyor drum 1 by means of screws 32.
  • the gear mechanism 12 arranged in the swivel arm 9 has a sun gear 34 mounted coaxially with the drive shaft 14 on the one hand in the pivotable transmission housing 11 and on the other hand in a bearing block 33 which is fixedly connected to the rotating bearing housing 18.
  • the sun gear 34 meshes with a pinion 36 and a gear 38, which is mounted coaxially on a shaft 37 mounted in the gear housing 11, is in engagement with a pinion 39.
  • a gear 42 which is attached to the shaft 41 coaxially, meshes with a gear shaft with the bearing shaft 7 Holding trough 3 connected pinion 43.
  • the holding trough 3 also has a crank 44 which runs relative to its bearing or axis of rotation 8 such that the axis of rotation 8 of the holding trough 3 and the longitudinal axis of the double filter cigarette 2 are eccentric to one another, the importance of this crank in the description of the mode of operation is explained in more detail.
  • the two aligned drive shafts 14 are for synchronous drive of the holding trough 3, which is arranged identically on the right side of the drum and is driven and moved in the same way connected by a sleeve 46 against relative rotation, the drive movement of the cam gear 23 to 29, which is provided only once for a pair of holding troughs, being transmitted to the second drive shaft 14 through the sleeve connection.
  • the suction air supply to the holding trough 3 takes place from a connecting bore 47 and a transverse bore 48 in the fixed bearing housing 31 via a control slot 49 into the rotating drum section and via its channels 51 to 54 into a trough channel 56 connected to the trough base via transverse bores.
  • the radial deflection component generated as a result of the eccentric swivel arm mounting during the swiveling movement is largely compensated for by the offset 44 of the holding trough 3, so that a radial relative movement of the double filter cigarette 2 to the laser 6 is reduced to a tenth of a millimeter range and thus to an allowable tolerance, which is reduced by the three positions of rotation P1, P2, P3 of the holding trough 3 according to FIG. 5 is illustrated with a practically uniform center point or axis cross 61 of the double filter cigarette 2.
  • a corresponding curve section of the curved tracks 27, 28 again causes the holding trough 3 to pivot forward in the direction of the arrow 62 up to the radial alignment of the swivel arm 9.
  • the curve brackets 27, 28 also, in cooperation with the drive means, allow modification in areas before and behind the laser station, such that an optimization of the speed of the holding troughs when taking over and delivering the articles in cooperation with upstream and downstream conveyor drums is possible.
