Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for changing the end face distance between each pair and coaxially with each other along a straight line Bru-promoted rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry.
  • Devices of the type mentioned are used in the assembly filter cigarettes by cutting double-length tobacco sticks in the middle, pulled apart symmetrically to the dividing line, in the resulting gap with provided with a double-length filter rod and then against the filter rod again moved towards each other and with this by rolling over a glued one Covering strip are connected. By cutting the filter rod in the middle single filter cigarettes will be obtained.
  • the invention has for its object in the course of its transverse axial transport Articles moved axially relative to one another with simpler means on gentle Way to handle, so that even at high throughput their integrity and good quality is guaranteed.
  • Holding air in the receiving troughs can be switched-off control edges, through which pairs of articles are released after reaching a defined spreading position to further funding.
  • the control means are designed as synchronously moving adjusting belts which act on the articles along their conveying path at the end.
  • These adjusting belts are expediently arranged on the outside of the conveyor belts around vertical axes parallel to the conveying direction of the articles and laterally adjustable relative to the conveyor belts, so that they can be adjusted to different format lengths of the article components without major modifications.
  • the conveyor belts are designed as spreading belts transporting the articles lying or on the top side.
  • a further development which fits into the conveyor belt section and prepares the articles for spreading consists in that the article pairs are obtained by cutting double-length articles centrally on a feed belt arranged upstream of the conveyor belts.
  • a safe and exact separating cut is obtained in that the feed belt is assigned a pair of support belts which positively grips the articles in the cutting area and which moves synchronously.
  • the feed belt is assigned a support drum which lifts the articles in the cutting area out of the receiving troughs of the feed belt.
  • the advantage achieved with the invention is that the articles even at high Conveying capacity not exposed to abrupt changes in direction and acceleration are and also the relatively low-mass means of transport in one sensitive area of the assembly of filter cigarettes their safe handling allow at high throughput.
  • the expansion device assigned or shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 immediately upstream and downstream elements consist of two in the conveying direction (Arrow 1) diverging conveyor belts 2 and 3, with transverse to the conveying direction 1 receiving troughs running in parallel and coaxially aligned in pairs 4 are provided, which on the upper run of the conveyor belts 2 and 3 pairs of articles 6 from two articles 7 in the form of tobacco sticks.
  • the conveyor belts 2 and 3 are assigned a cutting drum 8 upstream, to which double-length tobacco sticks 7 are transferred by means of a feed drum 9 and on which these tobacco sticks are then cut in the middle by a circular knife 11 and by the cutting drum 8 are transferred in pairs to conveyor belts 2 and 3.
  • the transport or spreading belts 2 and 3 are assigned an insertion drum 12, which feeds double-length filter rods 13 and inserts a filter rod 13 in the center when the separated articles 7 of the article pairs 6 are taken over.
  • Another drum 14 serves to take over and to transport the cigarette filter components to the further assembling facilities, such as connection to glued covering strips by rolling over, central cutting in individual filter cigarettes, etc.
  • control means 16 are provided in the form of adjusting belts 17 rotating around vertical axes, which rotate synchronously with the speed V of the articles 7 in the conveying direction 1 and transversely to the conveying direction 1 relative to the conveying belts 2 and 3 can be adjusted according to the format length of the article pairs 6 or the required spread.
  • the mode of action is as follows:
  • the article pairs 6 obtained by the separating cut of the circular knife 11 are deposited at the speed V of the cutting drum 8 at position Y into the troughs 4 of the conveyor belts 2, 3, which themselves are driven at a speed V x which is somewhat higher in accordance with the angle of their inclination to the central axis are so that the article pairs 6 are moved in the conveying direction 1 on the conveyor belts 2, 3 with the same speed component V as on the infeed and outfeed drums 8 and 12th
  • the diverging conveyor belts 2, 3 the articles 7 are spread in pairs until first contact with the adjusting belts 17, pushed inwards in the receiving troughs 4 in order to maintain their mutual distance and in this defined spreading position at the position Z by inserting the filter rod 13 onto the insertion drum 12 transferred.
  • the diverging conveyor belts 102, 103 acted upon by suction air are arranged above a continuous feed belt 119, the article pairs 106 at position Y being transferred into the receiving troughs 104 of the conveyor belts 102, 103 and described in the same manner as before be spread.
  • the articles 107 are returned to the feed belt 119 by interrupting the suction air, and the filter rods 113 are inserted through the insertion drum 112.
  • the articles 307 are also cut a feed belt 319, but in the cutting area of a support trough drum 324 temporarily taken over or from the troughs of the feed belt 319 highlighted.
