Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for feeding cigarettes to a cigarette packaging machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from EP-B-0 100 537, in which the shaft is divided by a plurality of partition walls into individual guide channels for individually stacked cigarettes, with step-by-step rotating transfer wheels for a single cigarette being interposed to remove cigarettes to convert upper sections into lower sections of the guide channels.
  • the individual cigarettes taken over by the transfer wheels are checked and defective cigarettes ejected. Because only one cigarette can be transferred at a time, the transfer is relatively slow and in unfavorable cases it can happen that due to the occurrence of a corresponding number of defective cigarettes in one of the guide channels, the associated lower section runs empty.
  • Such a device is known from GB-A-2 108 818, in which two adjacent upper sections of the guide channels each open into a lower section, the cigarettes in the upper sections being checked immediately before the junction with the lower section.
  • the junctions to the lower sections can become blocked.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device according to the preamble of claim 1, which enables a faster transfer without the risk of clogging or idling individual guide channels.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic front view of a device for Feeding cigarettes to a cigarette packaging machine.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section from FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows a transfer wheel of the device from FIG. 1 in section.
  • the device shown comprises a feed belt 1, via which cigarettes 2 are fed to a receiving space 3 above a shaft 4 transversely to their axial direction.
  • the shaft 4 is divided by partitions 5, 6 in pairs into upper sections 7 of guide channels 8, which guide the cigarettes 2 downwards one above the other.
  • the middle partitions 6, which each form a pair of upper sections 7 of guide channels 8 with two neighboring partitions 5, are preferably tapered in section to form two closely adjacent exit regions.
  • Each transfer wheel 12 is provided with a plurality of, in the exemplary embodiment shown, seven groups of two adjacent receiving troughs 13, 14 for cigarettes 2, each consisting of a pair of upper sections 7.
  • the receiving trough 13 of each group that leads in the direction of rotation has a depth approximately corresponding to half the cigarette diameter, while the trailing receiving trough 14 of each group has a depth approximately corresponding to the cigarette diameter.
  • Each transfer wheel 12 is assigned a single lower section 16 of a guide channel 8, the upper side of the transfer wheel 12 opens and there is somewhat funnel-shaped to take the cigarettes 2 from the differently deep receiving troughs 13, 14.
  • Each lower section 16 is assigned two fill level sensors 17, 18, which keep the cigarette fill level in the respective lower section 16 within a range predetermined by their arrangement.
  • the fill level sensors 17, 18 control a stepper motor 19 which drives the transfer wheel 12 at a constant speed via a pinion 20 and a gear wheel 22 seated on a shaft 21 of the transfer wheel 12.
  • the shaft 21 is mounted in a housing 23.
  • the transfer wheel 12 is hollow and receives a connecting cylinder 24 for suction air, whose shaft 25, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the housing 23, is connected to a suction air source and whose central bore 26 communicates with circumferential groove sections 28 via transverse bores 27.
  • the receiving troughs 13, 14 of the transfer wheel 12 are each provided with two suction bores 29 which are connected to the circumferential groove sections 28 on the section between the take-over and delivery positions of the cigarettes 2, so that the cigarettes 2 received by the receiving troughs 13, 14 pass through Suction air can be kept in this when turning the transfer wheel 12.
  • the cigarettes 2 received by a pair of receiving troughs 13, 14 are checked by a test device (not shown) and defective cigarettes are ejected by means of an ejector 30 which directs a compressed air jet onto the end face of the cigarette 2 which is found to be defective.
  • the test device can be arranged in the transfer area of the transfer wheel 12 or in the lower area of the upper sections 7 of the guide channels 8.
  • FIG. 4 shows the timing of the takeover of cigarettes 2 by the transfer wheel 12.
  • two cigarettes 2 are received by a pair of receiving troughs 13, 14 and the cigarettes 2 have slipped into the upper sections 7 of the guide channels 8.
  • the transfer wheel 12 rotates correspondingly quickly, so that the peripheral section 15 following the pair of receiving troughs 13, 14 passes under the adjacent row of cigarettes 2, which because of the deeper ones Receiving trough 14 extends deeper.
  • the adjacent, higher-end row of cigarettes 2 begins to fall (FIGS. 4b, 4c).
  • the peripheral section 15 is rotated past the lower-reaching row, this also begins to fall, and the peripheral section 15 comes under the lower-reaching row which has now fallen to this, while the higher-ending row can fall freely (FIGS.
  • the minimum length of the circumferential section 15 in the circumferential direction of the transfer wheel 12 and its speed of rotation are thus dimensioned such that the circumferential section 15 initially supporting the deeper-reaching row of cigarettes 2 as it rotates further, the initially higher-end row of cigarettes 2 taking into account their falling speed during free fall the initially lower-end row of cigarettes 2 is supported until the lowest cigarette 2 of this latter row can fall into the lower receiving trough 14 at the intended rotational speed, so that both lowermost cigarettes 2 are received by the receiving troughs 13, 14 essentially simultaneously.
