Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Vereinigen von Rauchartikelkomponenten in Form von mit definiertem Teilungsabstand auf einer Saugwalze zugeführten beleimten Verbindungsblättchen und mit kleinerem Teilungsabstand auf einer Muldentrommel zugeführten Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen.The invention relates to a method and a device for combining smoking article components in the form of a defined pitch on a suction roller glued connection sheets and with a smaller pitch on a hollow drum supplied cigarette mouthpiece groups.

Unter einem definiertem Teilungsabstand ist im erfindungsgemäßen Sinn der durch die vorgegebene Länge der Verbindungsblättchen bestimmte Teilungsabstand zu verstehen.At a defined pitch, in the sense of the invention, is that of predetermined length of the connection sheets to understand certain pitch.

Die Verbindung der Rauchartikelkomponenten geschieht üblicherweise durch einen Rollvorgang.The connection of the smoking article components is usually done by a Rolling process.

Verfahren und Vorrichtungen der eingangs bezeichneten Art dienen insbesondere zur Konfektionierung von auf einer sogenannten Filteransetzmaschine queraxial geförderten Filterzigaretten. Deren Leistung bezüglich der pro Zeiteinheit hergestellten und ausgestoßenen Artikel hat sich im Laufe der Zeit immer wieder sprunghaft erhöht bzw. mußte der gestiegenen Leistungsfähigkeit der vorgeschalteten Zigaretten-Strangmaschine angepaßt werden. Da aber die eingangs genannte Rolleinrichtung als Teilaggregat auf einer Filteransetzmaschine dabei an eine kritische Leistungsgrenze herangeführt wird, deren Überschreitung zwangsläufig zu einer Qualitätsminderung bzw. erhöhtem Tabakausfall, Beschädigung, Verformung oder gar Zerstörung der hergestellten Filterzigaretten führen kann.Methods and devices of the type described in the introduction are used in particular for Assembly of conveyed axially on a so-called filter attachment machine Filter cigarettes. Their performance in terms of the number of units manufactured and produced per unit of time Article has increased by leaps and bounds over the years or had to adapted increased performance of the upstream cigarette rod machine will. However, since the roller device mentioned at the beginning as a sub-assembly on a filter attachment machine is brought up to a critical performance limit, which is exceeded inevitably leads to a reduction in quality or increased tobacco loss, damage, Deformation or even destruction of the filter cigarettes produced can result.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, auch bei höherer Produktionsleistung eine hohe Produktqualität zu gewährleisten.The invention has for its object a high even with higher production output To ensure product quality.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Verbindungsblättchen durch zwei aufeinanderfolgende Rollvorgänge um die Stoßstellen der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen herumgewickelt werden.
Nach einer zweckmäßigen Weiterbildung erfolgt eine erste Teilumrollung beim Übergeben der Verbindungsblättchen an die Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen, wobei nach einem eine gemeinsame Übergabe der teilverbundenen Komponenten umfassenden Förderschritt eine Endumrollung vorgenommen wird. Auf diese Weise wird die freie Länge des Verbindungsblättchens im Zuge der Förderbewegung soweit verkürzt, daß das Blättchenende von der nachfolgenden Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppe freikommt bzw. von dieser nicht eingeholt wird.
Um eine absolut sichere Klebeverbindung zu gewährleisten, wird nach einem weiteren Vorschlag die Endumrollung in Form einer Mehrfachumrollung der Komponenten ausgeführt.This object is achieved in that the connecting sheets are wound around the joints of the cigarette-mouthpiece groups by two successive rolling processes.
According to an expedient further development, a first partial roll is carried out when the connecting leaflets are transferred to the cigarette-mouthpiece groups, with a final roll being carried out after a conveying step comprising a joint transfer of the partially connected components. In this way, the free length of the connecting leaflet is shortened in the course of the conveying movement to such an extent that the leaflet end is released from the subsequent cigarette-mouthpiece group or is not caught up by it.
In order to ensure an absolutely secure adhesive connection, the final rewinding is carried out in the form of a multiple rewinding of the components according to a further proposal.

Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des eingangs bezeichneten Verfahrens besteht aus zwei in Förderrichtung der Komponenten aufeinanderfolgenden Rollstationen zum Herumwickeln der Verbindungsblättchen um die Stoßstellen der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen.The device for carrying out the method described in the introduction consists of two in the conveying direction of the components successive roll stations for winding around the connecting leaflets around the joints of the cigarette mouthpiece groups.

Um zu verhindern, daß die mit kleineren Teilungsabständen aufeinanderfolgenden Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen mit der freien Fahne der zuvor angehefteten Verbindungsblättchen in Kontakt geraten, sieht eine weitere Ausgestaltung vor, daß eine erste Rollstation unmittelbar einem zwischen der Saugwalze und der Muldentommel vorgesehenen Übergabebereich der Verbindungsblättchen an die Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen zugeordnet ist, und daß eine zweite Rollstation einer mit der Muldentrommel zusammenwirkenden Rolltrommel zugeordnet ist, womit eine sichere Ganzumrollung gewährleistet ist.
Eine zuverlässige Rundumverbindung wird noch dadurch unterstützt, daß die zweite Rollstation einen der Außenumfangsfläche der Rolltrommel gegenüberliegenden ortsfesten Rollklotz umfaßt, dessen Rollfläche einem Mehrfachen der Umfangslänge der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen entspricht.
Ein sicherer Erstkontakt und Anfangsumwicklung des Verbindungsblättchens wird gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung dadurch möglich, daß die erste Rollstation einen am Innenumfang der Muldentrommel angeordneten ortsfesten Rollklotz aufweist.
Um eine sichere Aufnahme der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen in den Trommelmulden vor der Kontaktierung mit dem Verbindungsblättchen und nach der Teilumrollung zu gewährleisten, sind die - bezogen auf die Förderrichtung der Muldentrommel - stromab bzw., stromauf angeordneten Muldenflanken der Trommelmulden mit Saugluftöffnungen versehen.
Um bei einer variierten Ausführungsform der Erfindung einen ungehinderten Rollvorgang zu gewährleisten, sind die im wesentlichen dem Durchmesser der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen angepaßten Trommelmulden an im Bereich des Rollklotzes radial einziehbaren Trägersegmenten angeordnet.In order to prevent the cigarette-mouthpiece groups which follow one another with smaller spacing intervals from coming into contact with the free flag of the previously attached connecting papers, a further embodiment provides that a first rolling station directly faces a transfer area of the connecting papers provided between the suction roller and the trough drum the cigarette-mouthpiece groups is assigned, and that a second roller station is assigned to a roller drum that interacts with the trough drum, thus ensuring a safe full rewinding.
A reliable all-round connection is further supported by the fact that the second rolling station comprises a stationary roller block opposite the outer peripheral surface of the roller drum, the rolling surface of which corresponds to a multiple of the peripheral length of the cigarette-mouthpiece groups.
A secure first contact and initial wrapping of the connecting leaflet is possible according to a preferred development in that the first rolling station has a stationary roller block arranged on the inner circumference of the trough drum.
In order to ensure that the cigarette mouthpiece groups are held securely in the drum troughs before contacting the connecting leaflet and after the partial rewinding, the trough flanks of the drum troughs, which are arranged downstream or upstream, are provided with suction air openings, based on the conveying direction of the trough drum.
In order to ensure an unimpeded rolling process in a varied embodiment of the invention, the drum troughs which are essentially adapted to the diameter of the cigarette mouthpiece groups are arranged on carrier segments which can be drawn in radially in the region of the roller block.

Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht darin, daß bei angestrebter und erzielter höherer Durchsatzleistung und damit Produktionsleistung der Filterzigarettenlinie eine gleichbleibende bzw. unter Umständen sogar verminderte Artikelbeanspruchung während des Rollvorganges erreicht wird. The advantage achieved with the invention is that the desired and achieved higher throughput and thus production output of the filter cigarette line constant or possibly even reduced article stress during of the rolling process is achieved.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention is described below with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing explained in more detail.

Die an den erfindungsgemäßen Rollvorgängen beteiligten Fördermittel umfassen eine in Pfeilrichtung 1 umlaufende Saugwalze 2, auf welcher auf der Außenseite beleimte Verbindungsblättchen 3 mit einem definierten Teilungsabstand zugeführt werden, der durch die Länge der Verbindungsblättchen 3 vorgegeben ist. Das jeweils in Förderrichtung (Pfeil 1) vornliegende Ende eines Verbindungsblättchens 3 schließt mit einer Anrollkante 4 der Saugwalze 2 ab.
Ein weiteres an einem ersten Rollvorgang beteiligtes Fördermittel ist als Muldentrommel 6 ausgebildet, welche in Pfeilrichtung 7 umläuft und mit Trommelmulden 8 ausgestattet ist, die einen kleineren Teilungsabstand zur Aufnahme von Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen 9 aufweisen als die Verbindungsblättchen 3 auf der Saugwalze 2. Die Trommelmulden 8 selbst sind beträchtlich größer bemessen als der Durchmesser der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen 9 und mit an ihren seitlichen Muldenflanken austretenden Saugluftöffnungen 11 zum Halten der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen 9 vor bzw. nach der Teilumrollung versehen.
Diese Teilumrollung erfolgt an einer ersten Rollstation 12 im Zusammenwirkungsbereich von Saugwalze 2 und Muldentrommel 6, wozu ein am Innenumfang der Muldentrommel 6 ortsfest angestellter Rollklotz 13 mit einer Startleiste 14 vorgesehen ist.
Die auf der Muldentrommel 6 zugeführten Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen 9 liegen - bezogen auf die Förderrichtung 7 - zunächst an der vorn bzw. stromab befindlichen Muldenflanke an und treffen eingangs der Rollstation 12 jeweils mit dem Anfang eines Verbindungsblättchens 3 zusammen, welches auf eine Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppe 9 aufgedrückt wird. Die oberseitig wirksam werdende Anrollkante 4 der Saugwalze 2 und gleichzeitig unterseitig wirksam werdende Startleiste 14 des Rollklotzes 13 versetzen die Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppe 9 gemäß den Figuren 3a bis 3c in dem zwischen der Saugwalze 2 und dem Rollklotz 13 gebildeten Rollkanal in Richtung des Pfeils 16 in Drehung, wobei sich die Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppe 9 von der vorderen Muldenflanke, deren Saugluft abgeschaltet wird, löst und über die ganze Breite des Rollklotzes 13 abrollt. Dabei wird das Verbindungsblättchen 3 bis etwa über den halben Umfang um die Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppe 9 herumgewickelt, bis diese teilumhüllte Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppe 9 sich an die rückwärtige, durch Saugluft beaufschlagte Muldenflanke gemäß Figur 3c anlegt.
Bei diesem Roll- bzw. Wickelvorgang hat sich das freie Ende 17 des Verbindungsblättchens 3 gemäß Figur 3c soweit verkürzt, daß ein Kontakt mit der in Förderrichtung 7 stromauf folgenden Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppe 9' ausgeschlossen ist.
Die teilumhüllte Kombination aus Verbindungsblättchen 3 und Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppe 9 wird gemäß Figur 1 auf eine Rolltrommel 18 übergeben, welche die genannten Komponenten in Pfeilrichtung 19 zu einer zweiten Rollstation 21 überführt, an welcher zwischen einem Rollklotz 22 und dem Außenumfang der Rolltrommel 18 ein Rollkanal gebildet wird. Die Rollfläche des Rollklotzes 22 ist erheblich länger als die Umfangsfläche der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen 9, so daß diese mehrfach umrollt und mit dem Verbindungsblättchen 3 verbunden werden.
Eine in die Förderbahn eintauchende Ausrichtwalze 23 sorgt für eine achsparallele Ausrichtung der fertig umhüllten Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen 9.The conveying means involved in the rolling processes according to the invention comprise a suction roller 2 rotating in the direction of the arrow 1, on which glued connection sheets 3 are fed on the outside with a defined pitch which is predetermined by the length of the connection sheets 3. The end of a connecting sheet 3, which is at the front in the conveying direction (arrow 1), ends with a rolling edge 4 of the suction roll 2.
Another funding involved in a first rolling process is designed as a trough drum 6, which rotates in the direction of arrow 7 and is equipped with drum troughs 8, which have a smaller pitch for receiving cigarette mouthpiece groups 9 than the connecting sheets 3 on the suction roller 2. Die Drum troughs 8 themselves are dimensioned considerably larger than the diameter of the cigarette mouthpiece groups 9 and are provided with suction air openings 11 emerging at their side trough flanks for holding the cigarette mouthpiece groups 9 before or after the partial rewinding.
This partial rewinding takes place at a first rolling station 12 in the area of interaction between the suction roll 2 and the bowl drum 6, for which purpose a roller block 13 with a starting bar 14 is provided which is stationary on the inner circumference of the bowl drum 6.
The cigarette-mouthpiece groups 9 fed on the trough drum 6 are - based on the conveying direction 7 - initially on the front or downstream trough flank and at the entrance of the rolling station 12 each meet with the start of a connecting sheet 3 which is attached to a cigarette Mouthpiece group 9 is pressed. The roll-on edge 4 of the suction roller 2, which becomes effective on the upper side and, at the same time, the start bar 14 of the roller block 13, which becomes effective on the underside, move the cigarette-mouthpiece group 9 according to FIGS. 3a to 3c in the roller channel formed between the suction roller 2 and the roller block 13 in the direction of arrow 16 in rotation, whereby the cigarette mouthpiece group 9 detaches from the front flank flank, the suction air of which is switched off, and rolls over the entire width of the roller block 13. The connecting leaflet 3 is wrapped around about half the circumference around the cigarette mouthpiece group 9 until this partially encased cigarette mouthpiece group 9 bears against the rear flank flank, which is acted upon by suction air, as shown in FIG. 3c.
In this rolling or winding process, the free end 17 of the connecting sheet 3 according to FIG. 3c has been shortened to such an extent that contact with the cigarette mouthpiece group 9 'following upstream in the conveying direction 7 is precluded.
The partially enveloped combination of connecting sheets 3 and cigarette-mouthpiece group 9 is transferred according to FIG. 1 to a roller drum 18, which transfers the components mentioned in the direction of arrow 19 to a second roller station 21, at which a roller block 22 and the outer circumference of the roller drum 18 enter Roll channel is formed. The rolling surface of the roller block 22 is considerably longer than the peripheral surface of the cigarette-mouthpiece groups 9, so that they roll over several times and are connected to the connecting sheet 3.
An alignment roller 23 immersed in the conveyor track ensures an axially parallel alignment of the completely wrapped cigarette-mouthpiece groups 9.

Bei dem in den Figuren 4a bis 4c dargestellten alternativen Ausführungsbeispiel sind Elemente, die grundsätzlich denen der zuvor beschriebenen Anordnung entsprechen, mit um hundert erhöhten Bezugszahlen versehen und nicht noch einmal besonders erläutert.In the alternative embodiment shown in Figures 4a to 4c Elements that basically correspond to those of the arrangement described above with provided with a hundred increased reference numbers and not explained again in particular.

Diese Ausführung unterscheidet sich lediglich durch die Gestaltung der Muldentrommel 106, deren ebenfalls auf nicht dargestellte Weise durch Saugluft beaufschlagten Trommelmulden 108 in ihrem Durchmesser im wesentlichen dem Durchmesser der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen 109 entsprechen, wodurch die Teilungsabstände auf der Muldentrommel 106 nochmals etwas verkleinert werden können.
Um ein ungehindertes Abrollen der Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen 109 in den Trommelmulden 108 beim Passieren des Rollklotzes 113 zu gewährleisten, sind die Trommelmulden 108 an Trägersegmenten 124 angeordnet, welche mittels eines Stellantriebes 125 im Wirkungsbereich des Rollklotzes 113 gemäß den Figuren 4b, c, radial einziehbar sind, sodaß die Zigaretten-Mundstück-Gruppen 109 vom Muldengrund freikommen.This embodiment differs only in the design of the bowl drum 106, whose drum troughs 108, which are likewise acted upon by suction air in a manner not shown, correspond in their diameter essentially to the diameter of the cigarette-mouthpiece groups 109, as a result of which the spacing on the bowl drum 106 is further reduced somewhat can.
In order to ensure unhindered rolling of the cigarette mouthpiece groups 109 in the drum troughs 108 when passing the roller block 113, the drum troughs 108 are arranged on support segments 124, which are actuated radially by means of an actuator 125 in the effective range of the roller block 113 according to FIGS. 4b, c are retractable so that the cigarette-mouthpiece groups 109 come free from the base of the trough.
