Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for generating substantially rectilinear, reciprocating movements of carriers, sliders or similar organs, in particular in a packaging machine for inserting a cigarette block in a pocket of a folding turret with the features according to the preamble of claim 1, as they are of the EP-A-711 718 are known.
  • a known device for inserting the contents of the package into a folding turret (GB 1 028 055 )
  • the slider is guided during the insertion movement along a rectilinear trajectory.
  • the slider is connected to a reciprocating push rod, which is connected via a pivotable intermediate lever with a crank mechanism.
  • a balance bar causes the slider to return to the home position during the return movement below the plane of movement of the contents of the package.
  • a rotating drive member is provided, namely a crank.
  • all other organs to transmit the motion carry back and forth Swivel or linear movements. As a result, this known transmission for high cycle numbers, as required for example in packaging machines for cigarettes, not suitable.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device or a transmission, with the even at high cycle numbers reciprocating linear organs, namely driver, slider, etc. in a continuous, jerk-free movement of objects, in particular the insertion of Carrying cigarette blocks in a folding turret and return in a - offset - return path to the starting position.
  • the device according to the invention provides the features of claim 1.
  • the central wheel is inventively designed as a gear which runs on an internal toothing of a ring gear.
  • the connected in fixed relative position with the gear lever is connected via an intermediate gear or a counter gear with the linearly movable member for transmitting the linear movement.
  • Parts of the intermediate or counter gear are controlled in terms of their movement so that a return movement of the linearly movable member in an offset trajectory, in particular above the linear feed movement takes place.
  • the movement of a pivoting cam lever is controlled via cam rollers in a cam groove during the rotational movement.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a rotating about a vertical axis folding turret 11 with around pairs arranged pockets 12, 13.
  • first blanks 14 for the manufactured cigarette packs 10 are introduced. After a partial folding thereof, the contents of the package are inserted into the pockets 12, 13 or into the partially folded blanks 10 in the radial direction, specifically in the region of a push-in station 15.
  • the articles to be introduced into the pockets 12, 13 are block-shaped cigarette blocks 16, 17. These consist of a cigarette group corresponding to the contents of the package, which is surrounded by an inner envelope made of paper or paper laminated with metal.
  • a chain conveyor 19 detects one or two cigarette blocks 16, 17 through drivers 20 and promotes the cigarette blocks 16, 17 at a distance from each other in the radial direction to the folding turret eleventh
  • the block conveyor namely chain conveyor 19, ends at a distance from the folding turret 11.
  • the final phase of the conveying movement and the insertion into the pockets 12, 13 is taken over by a plug-in unit 21, each of which a cigarette block 16, 17 or two adjacent cigarette blocks 16, 17 detected , on the block track 18 further promotes to the final position in the bag 12, 13th
  • the cigarette blocks 16, 17 supplied namely collar 22. These are part of a conventional folding box.
  • the collar 22 are fed on a collar track 23 transversely to the block track 18 and above it.
  • a collar 22 is stored in a correct position on a cigarette block 16, 17 and brought by folding collar side tabs in the pack-oriented position.
  • the unit of cigarette block 16, 17 and collar 22 is detected by the insertion unit 21 and inserted into the pockets 12, 13.
  • the device basically corresponds to that according to DE 24 62 686 ,
  • the insertion unit 21 is formed. It consists of each block track 18, so each cigarette block 16, 17 associated sliders 24, 25, each with a pusher head 26, the cigarette block 16, 17 at the back, namely on a backward in the conveying direction end face 27, detected.
  • the two slides are mounted with a slide arm 28 on a common actuator, namely on a transverse support rod 29th
  • the slides 24, 25 are moved so that the slider heads 26 enter from above into the path of movement of the objects, namely the cigarette blocks 16, 17 ( Fig. 3 , right).
  • the slider head 26 is thereby moved so that an initially directed backwards folding tabs 30 is folded against the back of the cigarette block 16, 17, ie against the end face 27.
  • the slider head 26 then moves the cigarette block 16, 17 along a rectilinear trajectory 31, to the final position within the folding turret 11.
  • the slides 24, 25 return to the starting position, the slider head 26 is moved along an arcuate return path 32. In an arcuate turning loop, the slide head 26 then returns to the driving position, that is, into the movement path 31.
  • the slides 24, 25 are operated to perform the movements via a special gear 33.
  • This consists of organs that perform exclusively circular or rotating movements.
  • a housing 34 In a housing 34 is a fixed runway for a rotating transmission member.
  • the process track is designed as a toothed rim 35 with internal toothing.
  • a connecting member is connected in fixed relative position with the central wheel, namely a lever 37.
  • Der Lever 37 is formed here as a hollow body and receives a differential gear 38.
  • the lever 37 is located outside of the housing 34 and is fixed to an end region, that is in constant relative position, connected to the central wheel 36.
  • the central wheel 36 forms a hollow shaft 39, which exits laterally from the housing 34 and is connected to the lever 37 and an outer lever housing 40.
  • the support rod 29 is rotatably connected to the lever 37.
  • the central wheel 36 is driven so that it runs on the sprocket 35 under its own rotation.
  • the connection of the support rod 29 with the lever 37, so the center of the support rod 29, performs only a linear motion, namely a movement along a straight line corresponding to the trajectory 31 of the slide head 26.
  • Important is a geometric relationship such that the distance (center distance) between the support rod 29 and the hollow shaft 39 of half the radius of the sprocket through the 35th defined outer trajectory of the central wheel 36 corresponds.
  • the drive is transmitted via a central shaft 44 to the transmission.
  • the central shaft 44 enters the housing 34 and is connected within it to a drive body 45.
  • This is provided with a recess 46 in which the central wheel 36 is rotatably mounted offset to the central shaft 44, namely on the hollow shaft 39.
  • the drive body 45 is rotatably mounted in a housing wall 47.
  • the movements of the central wheel 36 are not transmitted directly from the lever 37 to the support rod 29, but via the differential 38 within the lever 37.
  • the differential 38 consists of three cooperating gears, namely a first gear 48 at the end of the support rod 29, a rotatably mounted idler gear 49 and another gear 50 on a mounted inside the hollow shaft 39 transmission rod 51.
  • the thus formed differential gear 38 has the task of reversing the direction of movement of the support rod 29, so that the support rod 29 not with the lever 37 to the own axis is rotated.
  • a gear ratio is created by the differential gear 38, so that a translation of the movement in the ratio 1: 2 is given.
  • the slides 24, 25 perform two movement cycles in a full rotation of the central wheel 36th
  • the particular return movement of the pushers 24, 25 along the return path 32 is effected by an additional gear 52 which is disposed within the housing 34.
  • the additional gear 52 has a steering lever 53. This is connected via a pivot bearing 54 with the drive body 45.
  • the pivot bearing 54 is located in a region diametrically opposite to the hollow shaft 39.
  • the other end of the steering lever 53 is pivotally connected to a coupling 55, which in turn is connected via a connecting lever 56 to the end of the transmission rod 51.
  • the connecting lever 56 is non-rotatably connected to the transmission rod 51, but hinged to the coupling 55.
  • the described trajectory (return path 32) is made possible by the fact that the steering lever 53 is guided by touch rollers 57, 58, which enter a cam groove 59.
  • the latter is arranged stationary, in a rear wall 60 of the housing 34.
  • Two parallel next to each other arranged sensing rollers 57, 58 run without mutual contact in the cam groove 59, namely in each case on an inside curved path 61 and on an outside curved path 62nd
  • the central shaft 44 as a drive member for the slide 24, 25 is driven in the machine cycle.
  • FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 show schematically different positions of important elements of the transmission. Trajectories are shown in phantom.
  • the central wheel 36 shown as a circular surface, rotates clockwise along the (inner) sprocket 35. In this case, the central wheel 36 turns in accordance with arrow 63 in the counterclockwise direction around its own center. This in turn is schematically represented by the transmission rod 51 as a square. From this circulating on a circular arc 43, the lever 37 leads in the radial direction to the central wheel 36 on the outer circumference, namely to a solely on the line 42 back and forth movable connection point for the slide or slide arms 28. This point is defined by the support rod 29th In Fig. 7 to 9 the movement phases in a quarter-circle area of the ring gear 35 are shown. The central wheel 36 completely turns around, forming corresponding positions of the organs described.
