Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for emptying with rod-shaped articles the tobacco processing industry filled containers in a magazine, with a at least one open on the upper narrow side and the front broad side Container and 180 ° in an emptying position over the magazine tilting container carrier, which is movable relative to the open narrow side of the container Has article support.
  • Rod-shaped articles such as cigarettes, filter cigarettes or filter sticks are often temporarily stored in parallel in the form of containers approximately one cigarette long after leaving the production machine, and so-called trays which are open at the front and at the top are temporarily stored.
  • the filled trays are then emptied upside down into a magazine in the form of a storage container of a processing machine by the container carrier pivoting through 180 °.
  • the articles fall under their own weight in free fall to the level of the articles already in the storage container.
  • efforts are made to keep the drop height as small as possible.
  • An important factor that affects a more or less orderly discharge of the articles lies in the way in which the outlet opening of the tray is released through the sword-shaped support strips of the container carrier.
  • the support strips are as Folded swords formed after the sudden opening by about 90 ° be folded down so that their horizontal in the closed position Support surface comes into a vertical position that affects the fall height.
  • Another common locking system consists of a flat pull sword, whose linear opening movement causes friction on the articles.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a closure system, the Opening dynamics with a minimal fall height a controlled transfer of the Article guaranteed in a magazine.
  • the article support consisting of two oppositely movable support strips is provided with the support strips, an actuating means comprising a vertical lowering movement and a lateral, essentially horizontal spreading movement.
  • a jerk-free or smooth transfer movement is achieved in that the actuating means are designed to engage the article support in a manner that initially overlaps with a predominant vertical drop and a subsequent predominant spreading movement. Detachment of individual articles from the underside of the container filling or a compact block lowering of the container contents is ensured in that the actuating means are designed to accelerate the article support at the beginning of the vertical lowering and to accelerate the end of the vertical lowering at the transition to the predominantly horizontal spreading movement.
  • the actuating means comprise a cam drive acting on the article support and on the support bars pivoting levers of the article support attacking handlebar levers pivotable about stationary bearing points.
  • a simple, reliable embodiment of the actuating means consists in the fact that the control cam drive has a cam disk which can be driven to rotate about a fixed axis and a control roller mounted on a traverse which can be moved along a linear guide and carries the swivel lever.
  • opening force requiring little effort is achieved in that the support strips act on the pivoting levers in the spreading direction.
  • pivot levers are connected in an articulated manner to locking levers which extend in the spread position and whose common central connecting joint is connected to a carriage guided in a displaceable slide of the linear guide.
  • Favorable spatial movement ratios of the vertical lowering movement and the horizontal spreading movement result according to an advantageous embodiment in that the pivoting levers carrying the support strips extend substantially over the height of a container and with successive points of attack for control roller, handlebar lever, tension springs and in the emptying position from top to bottom Locking levers are provided.
  • the advantage achieved by the invention is that the block formation of the Container contents are preserved in the opening phase of the closure system and no items are detached vertically or horizontally from the controlled block move out, so that long-term trouble-free operation of the with Articles supplied processing facilities is guaranteed.
  • the container carrier 1 shown in FIG. 1 is part of a rotatable double unit, not shown, of two container carriers of a so-called tray emptier which can be rotated about a common axis, as has become known, for example, from US Pat. No. 4,278,385.
  • 1 contains a container in the form of a tray 3 filled with filter cigarettes 2, the container carrier 1 is shown in the emptying position with the open narrow side of the tray 3 pointing downwards, the filter cigarettes 2 still being supported by two closed support strips 4 of the container carrier 1 in the tray 3 being held.
  • actuating means 6 are provided on two opposite outer sides of the container carrier 1, which can be driven via a connecting shaft 7 by means of toothed belts 8 by a common pneumatic swivel drive 9 (not shown further), for example by one under the type designation DSR 32-180- P available part-turn actuator from FESTO PNEUMATIK, Germany.
  • the actuating means 6 arranged on both sides of the container carrier 1 have two pivot levers 11 which extend approximately over the height of the incline 3 and to which the support strips 4 are fastened.
  • the pivot levers 11 are connected in an articulated manner to a cross member 12, which is part of a carriage 14 that can be moved up and down along a linear guide 13.
  • handlebar levers 16 pivotally engage on the pivot levers 11 below the crossmember 12, which in turn can be pivoted about stationary bearing points 17. Below the points of attack of the handlebar levers 16 act on the pivot levers 11 preloaded tension springs 18, which on the other hand are attached to a rigid frame 19 of the container carrier 1.
  • a cam drive acting on the swivel levers 11 of the actuating means 6 has a cam disk 22, which rotates eccentrically around a fixed axis 21 and is driven by the toothed belt 8, and a control roller 23 which contacts it and is mounted on the crossbar 12.
  • the pivot levers 11 are pivotally connected to locking levers 24, which are operatively connected via a common central connecting joint 26 to a carriage 27 which is guided in the carriage 14 of the linear guide 13 by means of roller guides 28.
  • the emptying device works as follows: After the container carrier 1 containing the tray 3 has been tilted upside down into the emptying position shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, in which the filter cigarettes 2 according to FIG. 3 rest on the supporting strips 4 of the closure system, the cam disc 22 is passed through on both sides of the container carrier 1 the swivel drive 9 is set in rotation, so that - due to the curve of the cam plate 22 - the crossbar 12 with the articulated swivel levers 11, supported by the pretensioned tension springs 18, initially moves vertically downward at a relatively low speed, primarily via the contacting control roller 23. In this way, the entire cigarette block lying on the support strips 4 is lowered, the support strips 4 being moved out of the tray 3 or being released from the walls thereof.
