Abstract

The appliance for displacing bar-shaped articles (4,6) contained in trough-like containers (2) in a rotating conveyor in the form of a drum (1) in the direction of their lengthwise axes incorporates at least one rotating pressure ring (16,17) pressing against the end sides of the articles. At least parts of the pressure ring are made of silicone. At least one operating element (27,28) exerts sprung elastic pressure from the pressure ring onto the articles. The pressure ring is fixed in an inner end part (10,15) on the drum's hub (8,9).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verschieben von in Aufnahmen eines umlaufenden Förderers befindlichen stabförmigen Artikeln der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere von Zigaretten und/oder Filtern, in Richtung ihrer Längsachsen, mit mindestens einem umlaufenden Andrückring, der in einem Verschiebebereich gegen die Stirnseiten der Artikel gedrückt wird.
Unter stabförmigen Artikeln der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie werden verstanden Zigaretten mit und ohne Filter, Zigarillos, Zigarren sowie Filterstäbe.
Im Verlauf der Herstellung oder Weiterverarbeitung der obengenannten stabförmigen Artikel ist es mitunter erforderlich, die Artikel in Richtung ihrer Längsachsen zu verschieben. So kann ein sich nicht in einer Soll-Lage befindlicher Artikel während seiner Förderung in diese verschoben werden. Ein Beispiel dafür ist bei der Vorbereitung von Gruppen aus Zigaretten und Filterstopfen zum Umhüllen mit einem beleimten Verbindungsblättchen gegeben. Hierbei werden jeweils zwei axial fluchtende Zigaretten in Aufnahmen eines umlaufenden Förderers, z. B. einer rotierenden Trommel, überführt. Zwischen den Zigaretten wird dann noch jeweils ein axial fluchtender Filterstopfen doppelter Gebrauchslänge abgelegt. Um eine störungsfreie Ablage des Filterstopfens zu gewährleisten, befinden sich zwischen den Zigaretten und dem Filterstopfen einer Gruppe Abstände, die durch axiale Verschiebung der Zigaretten beseitigt werden müssen, damit die eine Gruppe bildenden Komponenten von Zigaretten und Filterstopfen dicht an dicht liegen. In der deutschen Patentschrift 1 008 173 ist ein geeigneter Verschiebemechanismus beschrieben, bei dem sogenannte Taumelringe über eine Vielzahl von Federn an der Nabe einer die Gruppen in Mulden fördernden Trommel befestigt sind. An einer Verschiebestelle drücken Betätigungselemente die Ringe in Richtung auf die Gruppen, wobei die Ringe die außenliegenden Zigaretten zu dem zwischen ihnen befindlichen Filterstopfen verschieben. Nach der Verschiebestelle drücken die Federn die Ringe wieder zurück, so dass nach Abförderung der zusammengeschobenen Gruppen neue Artikelgruppen in die Mulden übernommen werden können. Diese Art der federnden Aufhängung des Verschieberinges über eine Vielzahl von Federn ist mechanisch empfindlich und insbesondere für hohe Geschwindigkeiten nicht störungssicher, schon wegen der vielen zu Brüchen neigenden Federn.The invention relates to a device for moving rod-shaped articles in the tobacco processing industry, in particular cigarettes and / or filters, located in the receptacles of a rotating conveyor, in the direction of their longitudinal axes, with at least one rotating pressing ring which is pressed against the end faces of the articles in a displacement area .
Rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry are understood to mean cigarettes with and without filters, cigarillos, cigars and filter sticks.
In the course of the manufacture or further processing of the above-mentioned rod-shaped articles, it is sometimes necessary to shift the articles in the direction of their longitudinal axes. In this way, an article that is not in a target position can be moved into it while it is being conveyed. An example of this is given in the preparation of groups of cigarettes and filter plugs for wrapping with a glued connection sheet. In this case, two axially aligned cigarettes are in recordings of a rotating conveyor, for. B. a rotating drum. An axially aligned filter plug of twice the length of use is then placed between the cigarettes. In order to ensure trouble-free storage of the filter plug, there are gaps between the cigarettes and the filter plug of a group, which must be eliminated by axially displacing the cigarettes so that the components of cigarettes and filter plugs forming a group lie close together. German patent 1 008 173 describes a suitable displacement mechanism in which so-called wobble rings are fastened to the hub of a drum which conveys the groups in troughs via a multiplicity of springs. At a displacement point, actuating elements press the rings in the direction of the groups, the rings displacing the external cigarettes to the filter plug located between them. After the displacement point, the springs press the rings back so that new article groups can be transferred into the troughs after the pushed-together groups have been removed. This type of resilient suspension of the sliding ring via a large number of springs is mechanically sensitive and, particularly at high speeds, is not fail-safe, simply because of the many springs that tend to break.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe besteht darin, eine mechanisch robuste Verschiebevorrichtung zu schaffen, die Brüche von Federn nicht mehr besorgen lässt und für hohe Geschwindigkeiten geeignet ist.
Die Lösung gemäss der Erfindung besteht darin, dass der Andrückring zumindest teilweise aus Silikonmaterial besteht, und dass in einem Verschiebebereich mindestens ein Betätigungselement zum federnd elastischen Andrücken des Andrückrings an die Artikel vorgesehen ist.
Eine besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht in einer Ausbildung des Förderers als umlaufende, d. h. rotierende, Trommel, die mit Mulden versehen ist, in denen die Artikel in Richtung ihrer Längsachsen verschiebbar gefördert werden. Der Andrückring läuft dann bevorzugt synchron mit der Trommel um. Ist der Andrückring in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung in einem vorzugsweise inneren kreisrunden Endbereich auf einer Narbe der Trommel befestigt, so ist die Verschiebevorrichtung im Gegensatz zu den bekannten Vorrichtungen mechanisch sehr stabil.
Eine wichtige Weiterbildung der Vorrichtung gemäss der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Andrückringring auf der der Trommel abgewandten Seite konkav geformt ist , d. h. eine konkave Ausnehmung aufweist. Bei einer derartigen Ausbildung des Andrückrings lässt sich letzterer durch das Betätigungselement besonders leicht und verschleißarm verformen. Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung besteht darin, an dem äußeren Endbereich des aus Silikon bestehenden Andrückrings einen aus starrem Material, z. B. aus Metall, bestehender Außenring zu befestigen. Der starre Außenring kann vorteilhaft im Bereich der Stirnseite eines Artikels eine Durchbrechung aufweisen.
Bei dem im vorstehenden erwähnten besonderen Anwendungszweck der Erfindung, nämlich bei einer Verschiebetrommel für Zigaretten-Filter-Gruppen sind zweckmässig auf beiden Seiten des umlaufenden Förderers Andrückringe mit Betätigungselementen vorgesehen.
Die Erfindung umfasst außer dem bevorzugten Silikonmaterial für die Andrückringe auch Andrückringe aus ähnlichem geeigneten federnd elastischem Material, z. B. aus einem gummielastischen Kunststoff oder einem entsprechenden Metallmaterial.The object on which the invention is based is to create a mechanically robust displacement device which can no longer cause breaks in springs and is suitable for high speeds.
The solution according to the invention is that the pressure ring consists at least partially of silicone material and that at least one actuating element is provided in a displacement area for resiliently pressing the pressure ring onto the articles.
A particularly advantageous development of the invention consists in designing the conveyor as a rotating, ie rotating, drum which is provided with troughs in which the articles are conveyed so as to be displaceable in the direction of their longitudinal axes. The pressure ring then preferably rotates synchronously with the drum. If, in a further embodiment of the invention, the pressure ring is fastened on a scar of the drum in a preferably inner circular end region, the displacement device is mechanically very stable in contrast to the known devices.
An important further development of the device according to the invention is characterized in that the pressure ring ring is concave on the side facing away from the drum, ie has a concave recess. With such a design of the pressure ring, the latter can be deformed particularly easily and with little wear by the actuating element. A further advantageous embodiment of the invention consists of a rigid material, e.g. B. made of metal to attach the existing outer ring. The rigid outer ring can advantageously have an opening in the area of the end face of an article.
In the above-mentioned special application of the invention, namely in a sliding drum for cigarette filter groups, pressure rings with actuating elements are expediently provided on both sides of the rotating conveyor.
In addition to the preferred silicone material for the pressure rings, the invention also includes pressure rings made of a similar suitable resilient material, e.g. B. from a rubber-elastic plastic or a corresponding metal material.

Der besondere Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass der Andrückring selbst trotz ausreichender Stabilität federnd ausgebildet werden kann, so dass er ausreichend sicher auch bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten arbeitet. Die Verwendung von Silikon hat den zusätzlichen Vorteil der lebensmittelrechtlichen Unbedenklichkeit, auch wenn in einem Einzelfall Teilchen in die Artikel gelangen sollten. The particular advantage of the invention is that the pressure ring itself despite sufficient stability can be formed resilient, so that it is sufficient works safely even at high speeds. The use of silicone has the additional benefit of food safety, even if in in an individual case, particles should get into the article.

Figur 1 zeigt einen umlaufenden Förderer in Form einer an sich bekannten rotierenden sogenannten Zusammenstelltrommel 1 in einer üblichen nicht weiter dargestellten Filteransetzmaschine, deren Mulden 2 in einem Zuführbereich A von einer nicht dargestellten Zuführtrommel Gruppen 3, jeweils bestehend aus Zigaretten 4 und einem dazwischen angeordneten Filterstopfen 6, zugeführt werden. Bei der Zufuhr der Gruppen 3 sind Zwischenräume 7 zwischen den Komponenten 4 und 6 erforderlich, die für die Weiterverarbeitung, nämlich die nicht dargestellten Umhüllung der Filterstopfen 6 und der angrenzenden Bereiche der Zigaretten 4 mit einem beleimten Verbindungsblättchen zwecks Herstellung von Filterzigaretten, durch Zusammenschieben der Komponenten beseitigt werden müssen. In einem Verschiebebereich B sind die Gruppen in zusammengeschobener Position dargestellt, in der sie zur Weiterverarbeitung gelangen. Die Komponenten der Gruppen 3 werden durch Saugluft gehalten, die in bekannter Weise durch nicht dargestellte Saugluftkanäle in den Mulden einen Unterdruck an den Umfängen der Komponenten erzeugt; der Unterdruck ist groß genug, um die Gruppen in den Mulden zu halten, er lässt jedoch Axialverschiebungen zu.
Auf Naben 8 und 9 der auf einer Welle 5 sitzenden Trommel 1 sind Halter 11 bzw. 12 mittels nicht dargestellter Schrauben in Gewindebohrungen 13 bzw. 14 festgeschraubt oder festgeklemmt. An den Haltern sind die Innenbereiche 10, 15 von Andrückringen 16 bzw. 17 befestigt, in deren Außenbereichen 18 bzw. 19 Außenringe 21 bzw. 22 aus relativ starrem Material (Metall oder Kunststoff) befestigt sind. Die ringförmigen Andrückelemente 16, 17 bestehen aus elastisch federndem Silikonmaterial oder einem anderen Material aus entsprechend elastischem Kunststoff oder Metall, das lebensmittelrechtlich unbedenklich ist, auch wenn kleine Teile davon in die Zigaretten gelangen und mit diesen verbrannt werden sollten. In den Bereichen, die auf die Stirnseiten 23 der Zigaretten 4 zwecks Verschiebung drücken, sind die Außenringe 21 und 22 mit Durchbrechungen 24 bzw. 26 versehen. Betätigungselemente zur elastisch federnden Verformung der Andrückringe 16 und 17 im Verschiebebereich B sind als stationär angeordnete drehbare Rollen 27 bzw. 28 ausgebildet. Die Verformung der Andrückringe 16, 17 ist aus deren Lage im Bereich A (keine Verformung) und im Bereich B (volle Verformung) ersichtlich. Auf der der Trommel abgewandten Seite sind die Andrückringe 16 und 17 mit Ausnehmungen 29 bzw. 31 versehen, die die federnd elastischen Verformungen durch die Betätigungselemente 27 bzw. 28 erleichtern.FIG. 1 shows a rotating conveyor in the form of a known rotating so-called assembly drum 1 in a conventional filter attachment machine, the troughs 2 of which are in a feed area A of a feed drum (not shown) groups 3, each consisting of cigarettes 4 and a filter plug 6 arranged between them , are fed. When the groups 3 are supplied, gaps 7 are required between the components 4 and 6, which are necessary for further processing, namely the wrapping of the filter plugs 6 and the adjoining regions of the cigarettes 4 (not shown) with a glued connection sheet for the production of filter cigarettes, by pushing the components together must be eliminated. In a shift area B, the groups are shown in a pushed-together position, in which they reach further processing. The components of groups 3 are held by suction air which, in a known manner, generates a negative pressure on the peripheries of the components through suction air channels (not shown) in the depressions; the negative pressure is large enough to hold the groups in the troughs, but it allows axial displacements.
On hubs 8 and 9 of the drum 1 seated on a shaft 5, holders 11 and 12 are screwed or clamped in threaded bores 13 and 14 by means of screws (not shown). The inner regions 10, 15 of pressure rings 16 and 17 are fastened to the holders, in the outer regions 18 and 19 of which outer rings 21 and 22 made of relatively rigid material (metal or plastic) are fastened. The ring-shaped pressing elements 16, 17 consist of elastically resilient silicone material or another material made of correspondingly elastic plastic or metal, which is not harmful to food law, even if small parts of it get into the cigarettes and should be burned with them. In the areas that press on the end faces 23 of the cigarettes 4 for the purpose of displacement, the outer rings 21 and 22 are provided with openings 24 and 26, respectively. Actuators for elastically resilient deformation of the pressure rings 16 and 17 in the displacement area B are designed as stationary, rotatable rollers 27 and 28, respectively. The deformation of the pressure rings 16, 17 can be seen from their position in area A (no deformation) and in area B (full deformation). On the side facing away from the drum, the pressure rings 16 and 17 are provided with recesses 29 and 31, respectively, which facilitate the resilient elastic deformations by the actuating elements 27 and 28, respectively.
