Description

Die Erfindung betrift ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbringen von aus einem Magazin entnommenen flexiblen streifenförmigen Gegenständen, insbesondere Steuerbanderolen, auf Zigarettenpackungen.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for applying flexible strip-shaped objects taken from a magazine, in particular Tax stamps, on cigarette packs.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vereinigung von Steuerbanderole und Zigarettenpackung auf rationelle, vereinfachte Weise vorzunehmen.The invention has for its object a union of tax stamp and to pack cigarettes in a rational, simplified manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die von der Unterseite eines vom Magazin aufgenommenen Banderolenstapels abgenommenen Steuerbanderolen entlang einer gekrümmten Überführungsbahn abtransportiert werden, und daß die Steuerbanderolen aus der gekrümmten Überführungsbahn heraus mit einer beleimten Seite an eine quer zur Förderrichtung der kontinuierlich bewegten Zigarettenpackungen vorlaufende Schmalseite der Zigarettenpackungen angedrückt werden.
Eine insbesondere für Klappdeckelpackungen geeignete Weiterbildung besteht darin, daß die Steuerbanderolen in einer eine seitliche Verschlußfuge zwischen Packungskörper und Packungsdeckel überdeckenden gestreckten Lage ausschließlich an eine lange Schmalseite der Zigarettenpackung angedrückt werden.This object is achieved in that the control banderoles removed from the underside of a stack of banderoles picked up by the magazine are transported away along a curved transfer path, and in that the control banderoles come out of the curved transfer path with a glued side to a narrow side leading transversely to the conveying direction of the continuously moving cigarette packs of the cigarette packs are pressed on.
A further development, which is particularly suitable for hinged-lid packs, consists in that the control bands are only pressed onto a long narrow side of the cigarette pack in a stretched position covering a lateral sealing joint between the pack body and the pack lid.

Zweckmäßigerweise werden die Steuerbanderolen entlang der gekrümmten Überführungsbahn beleimt.
Es wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, bei der Entfernung der Steuerbanderolen aus der gekrümmten Überführungsbahn deren Förderbewegung zu unterbrechen.
Eine einwandfreie und sichere Verbindung von Steuerbanderole und Zigarettenpackung wird gemäß einer Weiterbildung dadurch gewährleistet. daß die Andrückung der Steuerbanderolen an die Zigarettenpackungen eine quer zur Längserstreckung der Schmalseite hin und her ausgeführte Bewegungskomponente umfaßt.The control bands are expediently glued along the curved transfer path.
It is also proposed to interrupt the conveying movement when removing the control bands from the curved transfer path.
According to a further development, a perfect and secure connection of the tax stamp and the cigarette pack is guaranteed. that the pressing of the control bands onto the cigarette packs comprises a movement component which is carried out back and forth transversely to the longitudinal extent of the narrow side.

Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des eingangs bezeichneten Verfahrens besteht aus einem die Steuerbanderolen von der Unterseite eines vom Magazin aufgenommenen Banderolenstapels abnehmenden ersten Transportmittel und einem die Steuerbanderolen übernehmenden und entlang einer gekrümmten Bahn zu einer linear ausgerichteten Packungsbahn überführenden zweiten Transportmittel, welchem ein die außenseitig beleimten Steuerbanderolen im wesentlichen radial aus der gekrümmten Bahn abnehmendes sowie entgegen einer vorlaufenden Packungsschmalseite in die lineare Packungsbahn der kontinuierlich geförderten Zigarettenpackungen einschwenkendes Andrückmittel zugeordnet ist. Zweckmäßigerweise ist das erste Transportmittel als zwischen dem Magazin und dem zweiten Transportmittel um eine ortsfeste Achse hin- und herschwenkender Banderolen-Traghebel und das zweite Transportmittel als diskontinuierlich drehende Saugtrommel ausgebildet.
Es ist außerdem von Vorteil, wenn der Saugtrommel - bezogen auf deren Drehrichtung - stromab des Magazins eine Beleimungseinrichtung zugeordnet ist, welche zweckmäßigerweise als Leimwalze ausgebildet ist.
Ein insbesondere auf den diskontinuierlichen Antrieb des zweiten Transportmittels abgestimmtes Andrückmittel besteht aus einem zwischen dem zweiten Transportmittel und der Packungsbahn hin- und herschwenkenden Andrückhebel. Eine einwandfreie Verbindung von Steuerbanderole und Zigarettenpackung ist gemäß einer Weiterbildung dadurch gewährleistet, daß der Andrückhebel mit seiner Schwenkachse einen im wesentlichen vertikal und quer zur Packungsbahn ausgerichteten Hin- und Herhub und eine ortsfeste Schwenkachse ausführend ausgebildet ist. The device for carrying out the method described at the outset consists of a first transport means which removes the control banderoles from the underside of a stack of banderoles received by the magazine, and a second transport means which takes over the control banderoles and converts them along a curved path to a linearly oriented packing path, which a control band with glue on the outside Pressing means which is essentially radially decreasing from the curved path and which swivels into the linear packing path of the continuously conveyed cigarette packs against a leading narrow side of the pack is assigned. The first transport means is expediently designed as a banderole support lever which swings back and forth about a fixed axis between the magazine and the second transport means and the second transport means as a discontinuously rotating suction drum.
It is also advantageous if the suction drum - based on its direction of rotation - is assigned a gluing device downstream of the magazine, which is expediently designed as a glue roller.
A pressing means which is especially adapted to the discontinuous drive of the second transport means consists of a pressing lever which swings back and forth between the second transport means and the packing track. According to a further development, a perfect connection between the control band and the cigarette pack is ensured in that the pressure lever with its swivel axis is designed to perform a back and forth stroke that is essentially vertical and transverse to the pack path and a stationary swivel axis.

Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht darin, daß die Steuerbanderolen mit einem Minimum an Transportmitteln einseitig auf die mit großem Durchsatz pro Zeiteinheit geförderten Zigarettenpackungen aufgebracht werden, so daß zusätzliche Abfaltungen der Banderolen um angrenzende Packungsseiten wegfallen, was die Wirtschaftlichkeit eines derartigen Verfahrens deutlich verbessert. The advantage achieved by the invention is that the control bands with a minimum of means of transport unilaterally to those with high throughput per Unit of time promoted cigarette packs are applied, so that additional Unfolding the banderoles around adjacent sides of the pack are no longer what the cost-effectiveness of such a process is significantly improved.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is based on an embodiment shown in the drawing explained in more detail.

Hierbei zeigen:

eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbringen beleimter Steuerbanderolen auf Zigarettenpackungen als Teilaggregat einer nicht weiter dargestellten Zigarettenpackmaschine und
Figur 2
eine Ansicht auf eine Schmalseite der Zigarettenpackung in Richtung des Pfeils X gemäß Figur 1.
Here show:
Figure 1
a device for applying glued control bands on cigarette packs as a sub-assembly of a cigarette packing machine, not shown, and
Figure 2
a view of a narrow side of the cigarette pack in the direction of arrow X according to Figure 1.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Vorrichtung weist ein Magazin 1 für einen Stapel 2 aus Steuerbanderolen 3 auf.
Ein erstes Transportmittel zum Entnehmen einer einzelnen Steuerbanderole 3 von der Unterseite des Banderolenstapels 2 ist als Banderolen-Traghebel 4 ausgebildet, welcher um eine ortsfeste Achse 6 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 7 zwischen der Unterseite des Magazins 1 und einem zweiten Transportmittel 8 hin- und herschwenkbar ist. Das zweite Transportmittel 8 ist als diskontinuierlich drehende Saugtrommel ausgebildet, auf deren Umfang in definiertem Teilungsabstand einzelne Steuerbanderolen 3 aufgenomen werden. Der in Richtung des Pfeils 9 diskontinuierlich antreibbaren Saugtrommel 8 ist - bezogen auf die Transportrichtung - stromab eine als Leimwalze 11 ausgebildete Beleimungseinrichtung zugeordnet.
Unterhalb der Saugtrommel 8 verläuft eine lineare Packungsbahn (Pfeil 12) für kontinuierlich zugeführte Zigarettenpackungen 13. Die Zigarettenpackungen 13 sind dabei so ausgerichtet, daß eine ihrer langen Packungsschmalseiten 14 gemäß Figur 2 vorläuft bzw. der Förderrichtung 12 zugekehrt ist. An dieser langen Packungsschmalseite 14 verläuft eine Verschlußfuge 16 zwischen dem Packungskörper und dem Klappdeckel. Zwischen der linearen Packungsbahn und der Saugtrommel 8 befindet sich ein Andrückmittel in Form eines um eine Achse 17 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 18 hin- und herschwenkenden Andrückhebels 19 zum Übertragen der Steuerbanderolen 3 von der Saugtrommel 8 auf jeweils eine Zigarettenpackung 13. Der Andrückhebel 19 ist außerdem mit seiner Achse 17 um eine ortsfeste Achse 21 in im wesentlichen vertikaler Richtung des Doppelpfeils 22 auf- und abbewegbar.The device shown in Figure 1 has a magazine 1 for a stack 2 of tax stamps 3.
A first transport means for removing a single control banderole 3 from the underside of the banderole stack 2 is designed as a banderole carrying lever 4 which can be pivoted back and forth about a fixed axis 6 in the direction of the double arrow 7 between the underside of the magazine 1 and a second transport means 8 . The second transport means 8 is designed as a discontinuously rotating suction drum, on the circumference of which individual control bands 3 are received at a defined pitch. The suction drum 8, which can be driven discontinuously in the direction of arrow 9, is associated downstream with respect to the direction of transport a gluing device designed as a glue roller 11.
A linear packing path (arrow 12) for continuously supplied cigarette packs 13 runs underneath the suction drum 8. The cigarette packs 13 are oriented in such a way that one of their long narrow pack sides 14 runs according to FIG. 2 or faces the conveying direction 12. On this long narrow pack side 14, a sealing joint 16 runs between the pack body and the hinged lid. Between the linear packing track and the suction drum 8 there is a pressing means in the form of a pressing lever 19 which swings back and forth about an axis 17 in the direction of the double arrow 18 for transferring the control bands 3 from the suction drum 8 to a cigarette pack 13 each. The pressing lever 19 is also can be moved up and down with its axis 17 about a stationary axis 21 in the substantially vertical direction of the double arrow 22.

Die Wirkungsweise der Vorrichtung ist wie folgt:
Jeweils in einer Stillstandsphase der Saugtrommel 8 überführt der Banderolen-Traghebel 4 eine unterhalb des Banderolenstapels 2 vereinzelte Steuerbanderole 3 auf die Umfangsfläche der Saugtrommel 8. Die Steuerbanderolen 3 werden in der Bewegungsphase der Saugtrommel 8 an der in Pfeilrichtung 23 rotierenden Leimwalze 11 vorbeigeführt und außenseitig beleimt. Wiederum in einer Stillstandsphase der Saugtrommel 8 hebt der Andrückhebel 19 in im wesentlichen radialer Richtung eine Steuerbanderole 3 von der Oberfläche der Saugtrommel 8 ab, überführt sie in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 18 entgegen der kontinuierlich zugeführten Zigarettenpackung in die Packungsbahn 12 und drückt sie ausschließlich an die vorlaufende, quer zur Förderrichtung 12 ausgerichtete lange Packungsschmalseite 14 an. Mit der kontinuierlichen Weiterbewegung der Zigarettenpackung 13 wird der Andrückhebel 19 in Richtung der Doppelpfeils 18 zurückgeführt, wobei er gleichzeitig um die ortsfeste Achse 21 eine Auf- und Abbewegung in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 22 ausführt, wodurch die Steuerbanderole 3 sicher mit der Packungsschmalseite 14 verbunden bzw. aufgebügelt wird. Auf diese Weise erstreckt sich die Steuerbande-role 3 ausschließlich auf der langen Packungsschmalseite 14 und überdeckt dabei die Verschlußfuge 16 zwischen dem Packungskörper und dem Klappdeckel.The device works as follows:
Each time the suction drum 8 is at a standstill, the banderole carrying lever 4 transfers a control banderole 3, which is separated below the banderole stack 2, onto the peripheral surface of the suction drum 8. The control banderoles 3 are guided past the glue roller 11 rotating in the direction of the arrow 23 and glued on the outside . Again, when the suction drum 8 is at a standstill, the pressure lever 19 lifts a control sleeve 3 from the surface of the suction drum 8 in a substantially radial direction, transfers it in the direction of the double arrow 18 against the continuously supplied cigarette pack into the pack web 12 and presses it exclusively against the leading one , Long narrow pack side 14 aligned transversely to the conveying direction 12. With the continuous movement of the cigarette pack 13, the pressure lever 19 is returned in the direction of the double arrow 18, at the same time executing an up and down movement in the direction of the double arrow 22 about the fixed axis 21, as a result of which the control sleeve 3 is securely connected to the narrow pack side 14 or is ironed on. In this way, the tax band role 3 extends exclusively on the long narrow side 14 of the pack and thereby covers the sealing joint 16 between the pack body and the hinged lid.
