Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Überführen eines einen Kragen für eine Klappdeckelpackung der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie bildenden Zuschnitts in eine Aufnahmetasche eines um eine vertikale Achse rotierenden Verpackungsfördermittels.The invention relates to a method and a device for transferring a blank forming a collar for a hinged lid pack of the tobacco processing industry into a receiving pocket of a packaging conveyor rotating about a vertical axis.

Kragenzuschnitte der eingangs bezeichneten Art kommen üblicherweise in Zigarettenschachteln in Form von Hartbecher- bzw. Klappdeckelpackungen (auch Hinged-Lid-Packungen genannt) zum Einsatz, an deren Packungskörper ein mit der Rückwand desselben schwenkbar verbundener Klappdeckel angebracht ist, der in geschlossener Stellung den Schachtelkörper zu der quaderförmigen Gestalt der Schachtel ergänzt. Der Schachtelkörper ist dabei im Bereich der Schachtelvorderwand sowie der Schachtelseitenwände mit einem sogenannten Kragen versehen, der über die obere Begrenzung der Vorderwand und der schräg angeschnittenen Seitenwände hinwegragt und der mit dem überstehenden Teil in Schließstellung in den Klappdeckel hineinragt.Collar cuts of the type mentioned at the outset are usually used in cigarette boxes in the form of hard-cup or hinged-lid packs (also called hinged-lid packs), on the pack body of which a hinged lid which is pivotally connected to the rear wall of the same and which, in the closed position, is attached to the box body the cuboid shape of the box. The box body is provided in the area of the box front wall and the box side walls with a so-called collar which projects beyond the upper boundary of the front wall and the obliquely cut side walls and which projects into the hinged lid with the projecting part in the closed position.

Durch die US-PS 3 967 543 bzw. die entsprechende DE-PS 24 47 917 ist es bekannt, Kragenzuschnitte von einem schrittweise zugeführten Materialstreifen abzutrennen und in Aufnahmetaschen eines Drehtellers mit weiteren Komponenten, wie den mit einem Inneneinschlag versehenen Zigarettenblock zu vereinigen.From US-PS 3 967 543 and the corresponding DE-PS 24 47 917 it is known to separate collar blanks from a step-by-step strip of material and to combine them in receiving pockets of a turntable with other components, such as the cigarette block provided with an inside wrap.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Überführung von Kragenzuschnitten in die Aufnahmetaschen eines Verpackungsförderers effektiver und einfacher zu gestalten.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der durch eine vertikale Schnittbewegung von einer Materialbahn abgetrennte Zuschnitt unmittelbar durch eine vertikale Hubbewegung in die Aufnahmetasche überführt wird.
Zweckmäßigerweise umfaßt die den Zuschnitt überführende vertikale Hubbewegung eine sich in die Form der Aufnahmetasche einfügende Vorfaltung des Zuschnitts, wodurch sich zusätzliche, der Faltung dienende Handhabungen des Zuschnitts erübrigen.The invention has for its object the transfer of collar blanks into the receiving pockets of a packaging conveyor more effective and easier to design.
This object is achieved in that the blank separated from a material web by a vertical cutting movement is transferred directly into the receiving pocket by a vertical lifting movement.
The vertical lifting movement converting the blank expediently comprises a pre-folding of the blank which fits into the shape of the receiving pocket, as a result of which additional handling of the blank serving for folding is unnecessary.

Zweckmäßigerweise wird der Zuschnitt durch eine vertikale Aufwärtsbewegung in die Aufnahmetasche überführt.The blank is expediently transferred into the receiving pocket by a vertical upward movement.

Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des eingangs bezeichneten Verfahrens besteht darin, daß einem durch eine vertikale Schnittbewegung einen Zuschnitt von einer Materialbahn abtrennenden und in Horizontallage haltenden Messerträger ein eine Direktverbindung zu der fluchtend zum Messerträger positionierten Aufnahmetasche herstellendes Hubfördermittel zugeordnet ist.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann ohne zusätzliche Fördermittel eine multifunktionale Wirkung dadurch erzielt werden, daß in den Färderweg des Hubfordermittels zwischen dem Messerträger und der Aufnahmetasche ein den Zuschnitt vorfaltendes Mundstück integriert ist.
Zweckmäßigerweise sind das Mundstück und die Aufnahmetasche über dem Messerträger positioniert.
Eine beispielshafte konkrete Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß das Hubfördermittel als den Zuschnitt vom Messerträger durch das Mundstück in die Aufnahmetasche überführender Saugheber ausgebildet ist.
Besonders vorteilhafte Wirkungen werden mit einer Weiterbildung erzielt, gemäß welcher der Saugheber als in die Auflagefläche des Messerträgers versenkbarer Hubstößel ausgebildet ist. Auf diese Weise wird der durch den Abtrennvorgang des Messerträgers erzeugte Zuschnitt in einer vorbestimmten Lage festgehalten und damit für die nachfolgende Überführung in die Aufnahmetasche exakt ausgerichtet.The device for carrying out the method described at the outset consists in that a lifting conveyor which produces a direct connection to the receiving pocket positioned in alignment with the knife carrier is assigned to a knife carrier which cuts a blank from a material web and holds it horizontally by means of a vertical cutting movement.
According to an advantageous further development, a multifunctional effect can be achieved without additional funding by integrating a mouthpiece that pre-cuts the blank between the knife carrier and the receiving pocket in the conveying path of the stroke-promoting means.
The mouthpiece and the receiving pocket are expediently positioned above the knife carrier.
An exemplary specific embodiment consists in that the lifting conveyor is designed as a suction lifter which transfers the blank from the knife carrier through the mouthpiece into the receiving pocket.
Particularly advantageous effects are achieved with a further development, according to which the suction lifter is incorporated into the Support surface of the knife carrier retractable lifter is formed. In this way, the blank produced by the cutting process of the knife carrier is held in a predetermined position and thus precisely aligned for the subsequent transfer into the receiving pocket.

Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht in einer Minimierung des die. Überführung und Handhabung bzw. Bearbeitung der Kragenzuschnitte bewirkenden Bewegungsablaufs bzw. der dabei verstreichenden Zeit. Außerdem ergibt sich eine bauliche Vereinfachung und Reduzierung der eingesetzten Förderorgane, die auf engem Raum untergebracht werden können und dem zufolge auch für eine Mehrfach- bzw. Doppelanordnung besonders gut geeignet sind.The advantage achieved by the invention is to minimize the. Transfer and handling or processing of the movement of the collar, or the time that elapses. In addition, there is a structural simplification and reduction of the conveying elements used, which can be accommodated in a narrow space and are therefore also particularly suitable for a multiple or double arrangement.

Die Erfindung wird unter Bezunahme auf die Zeichnung anhand von bevorzugten, die Erfindung nicht beschränkenden Ausführungsbeispielen erläutert.The invention will be explained with reference to the drawing on the basis of preferred exemplary embodiments which do not restrict the invention.

Bei dem in den Figuren 1 und 2 vereinfacht dargestellten Bewegungsablauf zum Vereinzeln und Überführen von Kragenzuschnitten 1 werden letztere von einer in Pfeilrichtung 2 schrittweise vorbewegten Materialbahn 3 abgetrennt, welche in Längsrichtung mit zwei mit Einschnitten 4 versehenen Faltlinien 6, 7 ausgestattet ist.
Die durch die Trennung von der Materialbahn 3 in Planlage erhaltenen bzw. vereinzelten Kragenzuschnitte 1 werden gemäß Figur 1 im Zuge einer sich unmittelbar in Pfeilrichtung 8 anschließenden vertikalen Aufwärtsbewegung an den Faltlinien 6, 7 vorgefaltet, wodurch abgewinkelte Seitenlappen 9 bzw. 11 entstehen, die sich in Fortsetzung der vertikalen Aufwärtsbewegung gemäß Figur 2 von unten her direkt in eine Aufnahmetasche 12 eines nicht weiter dargestellten, beispielsweise als Drehteller ausgebildeten Verpackungsförderers gemäß der eingangs zitierten US-PS 3 967 543 bzw. DE-PS 24 47 917 einfügen.In the movement sequence for separating and transferring collar blanks 1, which is shown in simplified form in FIGS. 1 and 2, the latter are separated from a material web 3, which is gradually advanced in the direction of the arrow 2 and which is provided in the longitudinal direction with two fold lines 6, 7 provided with incisions 4.
The collar blanks 1 obtained or separated by the separation from the material web 3 in a flat position are pre-folded according to FIG. 1 in the course of a vertical upward movement immediately following in the direction of the arrow 8 on the fold lines 6, 7, as a result of which angled side flaps 9 and 11 are formed, which occur in continuation of the vertical upward movement according to FIG. 2, from below, insert directly into a receiving pocket 12 of a packaging conveyor, not shown in more detail, for example in the form of a turntable, according to the US Pat.

Weitere Einzelheiten der die vorstehend beschriebenen Verfahrensschritte erzeugenden Vorrichtungselemente werden anhand eines ersten Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß den Figuren 3 bis 5 erläutert.
Gemäß Figur 3 ist ein Kragenzuschnitt 1 von der Materialbahn 3 durch die Schneidkanten 13, 14 eines ortsfesten Messerträgers 16 und eines in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 17 auf- und abbewegbaren Messerträgers 18 abgetrennt worden, auf dessen oberer Auflagefläche der Kragenzuschnitt 1 in Planlage gehalten wird.Further details of the device elements producing the method steps described above are explained with reference to a first exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 3 to 5.
According to FIG. 3, a collar blank 1 has been separated from the material web 3 by the cutting edges 13, 14 of a stationary knife carrier 16 and a knife carrier 18 which can be moved up and down in the direction of the double arrow 17, on the upper bearing surface of which the collar blank 1 is held flat.

Ein in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 19 von oben her durch die fluchtend oberhalb des Messerträgers 18 in einer Überführungsposition bereitstehende Aufnahmetasche 12 eines um eine vertikale Achse taktweise rotierenden Drehtellers hindurchbewegtes Fördermittel 21 übernimmt die unmittelbare Überführung des Kragenzuschnitts 1 vom Messerträger 18 in die Aufnahmetasche 12. Hierzu ist das Hubfördermittel 21 als mit zwei Saugnäpfen 22 und 23 bestückter Saugheber ausgebildet, welcher den Kragenzuschnitt 1 erfaßt und während der Aufwärtsbewegung zunächst durch ein unmittelbar unterhalb der Aufnahmetasche 12 angeordnetes ortsfestes Mundstück 24 hindurchbewegt, wodurch gemäß Figur 5 die Seitenlappen 9 und 11 entlang der Faltlinien 6 bzw. 7 vorgefaltet bzw. abgewinkelt werden.
Der in einem ununterbrochenen Zug weiter aufwärts bewegte Saugheber 22, 23 überführt den vorgefalteten Kragenzuschnitt 1 anschließend direkt in die Aufnahmetasche 12 bis gegen einen ortsfesten Anschlag 26, durch den im Verlauf der Hubbewegung außerdem ein federelastisches Entlüftungsventil 27 betätigt wird, so daß sich der Saugheber 22, 23 vom Kragenzuschnitt 1 löst.
Die Lage des Kragenzuschnitts 1 in der Aufnahmetasche 12 wird dadurch fixiert, daß die abgewinkelten Seitenlappen 9, 11 gemäß Figur 5 durch Saugluft aus seitlichen Saugbohrungen 28 in den Taschenwandungen beaufschlagt werden.
Der auf diese Weise auf kürzestem, direkten Weg aus der Schnittposition in die Aufnahmetasche 12 überführte und mit einem definierten äußeren Abstandsspalt relativ zur Oberkante der Aufnahmetasche 12 positionierte Kragenzuschnitt 1 wird auf bekannte Weise zwecks Vereinigung mit einem umhüllten Zigarettenblock, einer eventuellen Couponeinlage sowie einem Außeneinschlag weiteren Arbeitsgängen zugeführt.A conveying means 21 moved from above in the direction of the double arrow 19 from above through the receiving pocket 12 of a turntable rotatingly rotating about a vertical axis and provided in a transfer position above the knife carrier 18 takes over the direct transfer of the collar blank 1 from the knife carrier 18 into the receiving pocket 12. For this purpose, the lifting conveyor 21 is designed as a suction lifter equipped with two suction cups 22 and 23, which grasps the collar cut 1 and first moves during the upward movement through a stationary mouthpiece 24 arranged immediately below the receiving pocket 12, as a result of which the side flaps 9 and 11 according to FIG. 5 be pre-folded or angled along fold lines 6 and 7, respectively.
The suction lifter 22, 23 moved upwards in a continuous train then transfers the pre-folded collar blank 1 directly into the receiving pocket 12 up to a stationary stop 26, by means of which a spring-elastic vent valve 27 is also actuated in the course of the lifting movement, so that the suction lifter 22 , 23 detaches from the collar cut 1.
The position of the collar blank 1 in the receiving pocket 12 is fixed in that the angled side tabs 9, 11 are acted upon according to FIG. 5 by suction air from side suction bores 28 in the pocket walls.
The collar cut 1 thus transferred in the shortest, direct way from the cutting position into the receiving pocket 12 and positioned with a defined outer spacing gap relative to the upper edge of the receiving pocket 12 is further known in a known manner for the purpose of combining with a wrapped cigarette block, a possible coupon insert and an external wrap Operations.

Bei der in den Figuren 6 bis 8 dargestellten Variante sind - bezogen auf das zuvor beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel - konstruktiv identische bzw. funktionsmäßig vergleichbare Elemente mit gleichen, lediglich um hundert erhöhten Bezugszahlen versehen und nicht noch einmal besonders erläutert.In the variant shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, in terms of the exemplary embodiment described above, structurally identical or functionally comparable elements are provided with the same reference numbers, only increased by a hundred, and are not explained again in particular.

Diese Variante unterscheidet sich dadurch vom ersten Ausführungsbelspiel, daß das Hubfördermittel 121 als in die Auflagefläche des Messerträgers 118 versenkbarer Hubstößel 129 ausgebildet ist, in dessen Stößelfläche eine Saugbohrung 131 einmündet.
Diese im übrigen auf gleiche Weise den Kragenzuschnitt 101 senkrecht aufwärts überführende Anordnung hat den Vorteil, daß mittels der Saugbohrung 131 der abgetrennte Kragenzuschnitt 101 beim Schneidvorgang und bei der Überführung in exakt ausgerichteter Lage fixiert bleibt.This variant differs from the first Exemplary embodiment that the lifting conveyor 121 is designed as a lifting plunger 129 which can be lowered into the bearing surface of the knife carrier 118 and in whose plunger surface a suction bore 131 opens.
This arrangement, which otherwise converts the collar blank 101 vertically upward, has the advantage that the separated collar blank 101 remains fixed in the exactly aligned position during the cutting process and during the transfer by means of the suction bore 131.
