Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a straightlayer for orientation of tobacco leaves prior to a cutting operation, which straightlayer comprises a lower belt conveyor having an output direction, a number of, in respect of the belt conveyor, vertically projecting, channel forming partitions that extend in the output direction of the belt conveyor and have some distance from the belt conveyor, and a feeding apparatus that supplies from above tobacco leaves down onto the straightlayer.
  • the invention also relates to a method for straightlaying and orientation of tobacco leaves prior to a cutting operation, in which tobacco leaves are supplied from above and down onto a straightlayer as disclosed above.
  • a straightlayer of the above indicated type is known from NO 140 126.
  • a straightlayer that is extensively in use today consists of several channels adjacent each other in the output direction having a common lower belt that advances the tobacco leaves forward to a press apparatus.
  • the press apparatus compresses the leaves together to a compact string of tobacco that subsequently enters a cutting machine.
  • the existing apparatus is provided with a chain drive on top of each individual partition and is supposed to assist the tobacco leaves in place into the channels.
  • the chain moves forwards, respectively rearwards, on every other partition so that the leaves that lay down transversally over two partitions are turned into place and drop down into the channels. Those leaves that remain hanging over a partition are pulled either forwards or rearwards, and the leaves are falling into place in the channels by a dragging action against the tobacco already lying in the channel.
  • the orientation and straightlaying of the leaves are substantially improved in that the leaves are well straightened out, and in a larger extent than before the stem is transversally cut. This results in less stems in the finished product and the quality is improved. In addition a more gentle treatment and handling of the complete leaves occur. Less destruction of the tobacco leaf stock and better utilisation of the raw material is achieved.
  • a straightlayer of the introductorily described kind which is distinguished in that the straightlayer comprises a vibrating unit that is lying above the partitions and that is able to shake down into the channels those tobacco leaves that lay down onto the vibrating unit and orient the leaf stems in the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor.
  • the vibrating unit include a frame that supports a number of longitudinally extending bars, each bar is lying above respective partition.
  • Each bar is preferably formed of a U-configured sheet section that is lying with some clearance above its corresponding partition.
  • the upper edge of the partitions and the bars incline downwards in a direction opposite of the output direction.
  • the vibrating unit comprises a motorised drive that preferably provides a tilting motion to the frame and the bars.
  • a kick off means is preferably arranged in that end of the straightlayer, which is opposite to the output end of the straightlayer.
  • a method of the introductorily mentioned kind is provided, which is distinguished in that a vibrating unit throws the leaves rearwards and downwards in opposite direction of the output direction, that the leaves that do not drop directly into the channels are pulled in the output direction and down into the channels by leaves already present in the channels, which causes pulling down of leaves from the bars and straightening of the leaf stems in the longitudinal direction thereof.
  • the apparatus comprises an upper belt conveyor 1 that supplies tobacco leaves 7 to a straightlayer 8 which is located underneath the belt conveyor 1.
  • the belt conveyor 1 is oscillating back and forth across the entire width extension of the straightlayer 8 such the arrow P indicates.
  • the flow of tobacco is aimed at being so uniform as possible when it is supplied to the straightlayer 8.
  • the straightlayer 8 includes a lower belt conveyor 6 that brings the straightlaid and oriented tobacco leaves 7 out from the straightlayer 8 and further on to a press apparatus (not shown) and a cuffing device (not shown) that cuts the compressed tobacco string to cut tobacco.
  • a number of vertically disposed partitions 5 are arranged standing above the lower belt conveyor 6.
  • the partitions 5 are mutually parallel and extend in the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor 6.
  • the partitions 5 are stationary and have a small clearance along the lower edge thereof to the lower belt conveyor 6.
  • Intermediate the partitions 5 channels 10 are formed into which the tobacco leaves partly drop from the upper belt conveyor 1.
  • the vibrating unit 2 includes a surrounding frame 9 that supports a number of bars 3.
  • the bars 3 do also extend in the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor 6 and each individual bar is lying above a respective partition 5.
  • each bar 3 is formed of a U-formed sheet metal section in which the U-form is facing downwards and is lying with clearance and freedom of motion over the partition 5.
  • the frame 9 is supported in a number of vibration springs 4 that are able to cushion the motion back and forth.
  • the vibrating unit 2 is driven by a motor having an eccentric crank (not shown).
  • the frame 9 and the bars 3 are imparted a tilting movement as indicated by the arrow V.
  • the flow of tobacco leaves 7 that is supplied to the straightlayer 8 from above, is aimed at being as uniform as possible on the upper belt conveyor 1 so that the leaves 7 are evenly distributed over all the channels 10.
  • the leaves 7 land partly directly into the channels 10 and partly on top of the bars 3.
  • the width of the channels 10 is adapted to the width of the leaves 7 so that those leaves falling directly into the channels 10 are in large extent oriented and straightened out in the longitudinal direction thereof. It is to be noted that it is the orientation of the leaf stems in the longitudinal direction that is material, such that the stem in largest possible extent is transversally or crosswise cut.
  • the lower conveyor 6 brings the tobacco in the output direction R towards the press apparatus (not shown) which is located in the extension of the straightlayer 8.
  • the press apparatus compresses the leaves broadwise into a compact string that passes on into a cutting machine (not shown). Due to the conveyor motion in the output direction R, the tobacco will lay down at a level in the channels 10 inclining downwards opposite of the output direction R.
  • the partitions 5 and the bars 3 are thus correspondingly sloping or inclining so that the distance from the top of the layer of leaves 7 to the upper edge of the bars 3 is approximately equal in the entire longitudinal direction thereof. This is of significance in order that the dragging effect of the leaves is to be equal over the entire longitudinal extent of the straightlayer 8.
  • the inclination of the bars 3 does also have significance for the speed that the leaves 7 on the bars 3 advance opposite of the output direction R during the vibrating action.
  • a less share of the tobacco leaves 7 do not fall into place in the channels 10 before they reach the rear end of the straightlayer 8. These leaves are by means of a kick off means 11 thrown forwards again in the straightlayer 8 in the output direction R until they fall into place in the channels 10.
