Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing filter cigarettes with multiple filters from different rod-shaped filter components, which on separate supply routes taken from separate stocks of multiple lengths of use, divided into shorter lengths and between two coaxially aligned tobacco sticks are inserted.
  • the invention also relates to a device for producing filter cigarettes with multiple filters from different rod-shaped filter components, with separate supplies for filter rods of multiple working lengths, those on separate Conveyor paths Conveyor drums for dividing, grouping and inserting the rod-shaped filter components between two coaxially aligned Tobacco sticks are assigned.
  • filter components are to be understood in the sense according to the invention as filter components made of different filter material and / or filter sections of different length dimensions.
  • Filter components in the so-called cross process are in one machine unit rod-shaped filter and tobacco items before they are combined separate paths via numerous stations in the form of drums, whose vertical and horizontal center distances are the size of the machine unit determine.
  • the invention has for its object the processing and handling of different filter components required flexible work steps design and enable with the least possible effort on conveyor drums.
  • rod-shaped filter components are divided into pairs of individual filter plugs on the one conveyor path and rod-shaped filter components are divided into double-length filter plugs on the other conveyor path, and in that the filter plugs of the two filter components are inserted one after the other between the tobacco rods.
  • the invention encompasses a procedure in which a double-length filter plug is inserted centrally between two spaced tobacco rods, leaving a gap to the adjacent tobacco rods, into which individual filter plugs are subsequently inserted in pairs.
  • a preferred variant according to the invention consists in first inserting the pairs of individual filter plugs and then the double-length filter plugs between the tobacco rods, whereby according to a further proposal the single filter plugs in a position adjacent to the tobacco rods and the double-length filter plugs in a central gap between the individual filter plugs be inserted.
  • This is particularly advantageous for filter components which secrete particles during their handling, so that their first insertion between the tobacco rods can be operated without contamination and thus function properly in the subsequent sensitive area of the machine unit, in which gluing and wrapping of the article components takes place.
  • the procedure according to the invention is further optimized according to a further development in that the individual filter plugs are obtained from filter rods of twelve times the length of use and the double-length filter plugs are obtained from filter rods of six times the length of use.
  • the device for carrying out the method described at the outset is that the one conveying path is formed by five conveying drums for the two-fold division of filter rods of six times the useful length taken from a separate stock, for the staggering, transverse axial series and subdivision of the filter rods obtained twice the useful length into individual filter plugs and for longitudinal axial spreading and transverse axial distance enlargement for inserting the individual filter plugs between the tobacco rods and that the other conveying path is formed by six conveying drums, for the two-fold subdivision of filter rods of twelve times the length of use taken from the other separate stock, for staggering, transverse-axial series and subdivision of the filter rods obtained four times the length of use, as well as for staggering, transverse axial succession and transverse axial increase in distance to insert the received Filter rods of double working length between the tobacco rods.
  • the conveyor path formed by five conveyor drums for the one filter component - based on the conveying direction of the tobacco rods along a conveyor path formed by lined-up conveyor drums - upstream via a combination drum with the The conveying path of the tobacco rods is in operative connection, and that the conveying path formed by six conveying drums for the other filter component is in operative connection with the conveying path of the tobacco rods downstream via an assembly drum.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is based on a schematic drum plan with assigned operations.
  • filter rods are a first component (e.g. from Charcoal) six times the usable length from a magazine 3 removed, by means of two circular knives 4 in three filter rods 6 of double Use length divided, passed to a relay drum 7 and on this in transferred a season formation 8.
  • the staggered drum 7 comes from the staggered drum Filter rods 6 on a sliding drum 9, on which they form a row formation 11 transferred and again through a circular knife 12 into single-length filter plugs 13 be divided.
  • the filter plugs 13 in a spread formation 16 offset in each case between two filter plugs 13 of a pair is made a larger frontal distance, and then in this formation transferred to an acceleration drum 17 on which the filter plugs 13 are brought into a transversely enlarged spacing formation 18.
  • filter rods 31 of a second component of twelve times the useful length are removed from a magazine 32, divided into three filter plugs 34 of four times the useful length by means of two circular knives 33, transferred to a relay drum 36 and transferred to a relay formation 37 thereon.
  • the staggered filter plugs 34 pass from the staggered drum 36 onto a sliding drum 38, on which they are transferred into a row formation 39 and are again divided into filter plugs 42 of twice the length of use by a circular knife 41.
  • the severed filter plugs 42 are in turn placed in a stagger formation 44 on a staggered drum 43 and placed in a row formation 47 on a sliding drum 46, in which they return to the staggered drum 43.
  • the filter plugs 42 By means of an accelerating drum 48, the filter plugs 42, spaced transversely axially apart, are inserted centrally on an assembly drum 49 into the gap between the two filter plugs 13 according to insertion position 50.
  • the tobacco-filter rod combination 13, 22, 42 of double use length created in the insertion position 50 is then assembled in a known manner by separating the double-length filter plug 42 centrally into individual filter cigarettes.
