Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Überführen von faltbaren Hüllmaterialzuschnitten
der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie,
gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.
Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der US-A-4 843 798 bekannt.The invention relates to a device for transferring foldable wrapping material blanks
the tobacco processing industry,
according to the preamble of
Die DE-OS 19 703 069 offenbart einen Arbeitsprozess zum Umhüllen blockförmig zusammengestellter Zigarettengruppen zwecks Herstellung von sogenannten Hinged-Lid-Packungen integriert, wobei die auf genannte Weise vorbereiteten Hüllmaterialzuschnitte in flachliegender horizontaler Ausrichtung mit den folienumhüllten blockförmigen Zigarettengruppen zusammengeführt bzw. zwecks Ausführung von aufeinanderfolgenden Verpackungsoperationen relativ zu den Zigarettengruppen positioniert werden.DE-OS 19 703 069 discloses one Working process for wrapping blocks Cigarette groups for the production of so-called hinged-lid packs integrated, whereby the casing material blanks prepared in the manner mentioned in a flat horizontal orientation with the film-wrapped block-shaped Cigarette groups merged or for the purpose of executing successive ones Packaging operations positioned relative to the cigarette groups become.
Infolge der schrittweise erfolgenden, Beschleunigungs- und Verzögerungsphasen aufweisenden Rotationsbewegung des Drehtellers kann es zu Verlagerungen, insbesondere vertikalen Verlagerungen bzw. Aufwölbungen von Flächenteilen der in ihrer Eigensteifigkeit durch Einschnitte und Vorprägungen geschwächten Hüllmaterialzuschnitte kommen, welche den Verpackungsvorgang beeinträchtigen können.As a result of the gradual acceleration and deceleration phases having a rotary movement of the turntable can cause displacement, in particular vertical displacements or bulges of surface parts of the in their inherent stiffness weakened by incisions and knockouts come, which can affect the packaging process.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Überführungsvorgang und die Positionierung der Hüllmaterialzuschnitte sicherer zu gestalten.The invention has for its object the transfer process and positioning to make the wrapping material cuts safer.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass
ein Seitenhalter
relativ zu einem jeweils gegenüberliegenden , ortsfest ausgebildeten Seitenhalter aus einer Aufgabestellung
in eine Haltestellung bewegbar ist.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist es denkbar, einen relativ zum ortsfesten Seitenhalter
linear geführten beweglichen Seitenhalter vorzusehen. Eine bevorzugte erfindungsgemäße
Weiterbildung besteht hingegen darin, dass die Aufgabe- und Haltestellungen
jeweils durch offene bzw. geschlossene Schwenkstellungen des Seitenhalter
definiert sind.
Der Hüllmaterialzuschnitt kann nach einen weiteren Vorschlag dadurch sicher
erfasst werden, dass der schwenkbare Seitenhalter mit einer eine Einlaufschräge
aufweisenden Haltenut versehen ist.
Eine sichere Erfassung und Positionierung wird gemäß einer Weiterbildung noch
dadurch unterstützt, dass der mit dem bewegbaren Seitenhalter zusammenwirkende
ortsfeste Seitenhalter mit mehreren übereinanderliegenden Haltekerben versehen
ist.
Zweckmäßigerweise wirken bei einer aus zwei Aufnahmeplattformen gebildeten
Doppelplattform jeweils innenliegende ortsfeste Seitenhalter mit äußeren bewegbaren
Seitenhaltern zusammen. This object is achieved according to the invention in that a side holder can be moved from a task position into a holding position relative to a respective opposite, stationary side holder.
In the context of the invention, it is conceivable to provide a movable side holder that is linearly guided relative to the stationary side holder. A preferred further development according to the invention, however, consists in the fact that the task and holding positions are each defined by open or closed pivot positions of the side holder.
According to a further proposal, the casing material blank can be reliably detected in that the pivotable side holder is provided with a holding groove which has an entry slope.
According to a further development, reliable detection and positioning is further supported in that the stationary side holder interacting with the movable side holder is provided with a plurality of holding notches lying one above the other.
In the case of a double platform formed from two receiving platforms, each of the inner stationary side holders suitably interacts with outer movable side holders.
Um bereits vorhandene Bearbeitungsorgane zu nutzen, wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, dass der bewegbare Seitenhalter mit einem um eine ortsfeste Achse schwenkbaren Bodenhalter verbunden ist.In order to use existing processing elements, it is also proposed that that the movable side holder with a fixed axis pivotable floor bracket is connected.
Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht darin, dass durch die definierte seitliche Halterung der Zuschnitte deren sichere gefesselte Überführung in Planlage erreicht wird, wobei in der Aufgabestation die Ablage der Zuschnitte auf dem Drehteller durch den infolge der Offenstellung des Seitenhalters vergrößerten Toleranzbereich erleichtert wird und in der Bearbeitungsstation durch das sichere Einfangen und Ausrichten der Zuschnitte gegen den ortsfesten Seitenhalter deren exakte Positionierung relativ zu einem mit dem Zuschnitt zu vereinigenden Zigarettenblock gewährleistet ist. The advantage achieved with the invention is that by the defined lateral Holding of the blanks their securely bound transfer reached flat is, in the feed station the storage of the blanks on the turntable due to the increased tolerance range due to the open position of the side holder is facilitated and in the processing station by the safe capture and aligning the blanks against the stationary side holder, their exact positioning relative to a cigarette block to be combined with the blank is guaranteed.

The device for handling such wrapping
Den jeweiligen Stillstandspositionen des Drehtellers 8 entsprechen eine erste
Station in Form einer Aufgabestation S1, eine zweite Station in Form einer Vereinigungs-
und Faltstation S2, eine dritte Station in Form einer nicht weiter dargestellten
zweiten Faltstation S3 und eine vierte Station in Form einer ebenfalls nicht weiter
dargestellten Abgabestation S4, die jeweils durch Förderabschnitte F1 bis F3
miteinander verbunden sind. Für die vorliegende Erfindung ist der Förderabschnitt
F1 von besonderer Bedeutung, um die Hüllmaterialzuschnitte 1 von der Aufgabestation
S1 zur ersten Faltstation S2 zu überführen.
Zu diesem Zweck weist der Drehteller 8 im Bereich und oberhalb der Aufnahmetaschen
11 Aufnahmeplattformen 16 für die Hüllmaterialzuschnitte 1 auf, in welche
zum Fixieren der Zuschnitte 1 Saugöffnungen 17 einmünden. Darüber hinaus sind
jeder Aufnahmeplattform 16 zwecks Lagesicherung der Zuschnitte 1 während der
Tellerdrehung ortsfeste innere Seitenhalter 18 sowie um Achsen 19 verschwenkbare
äußere Seitenhalter 21 zugeordnet. Die Seitenhalter 21 sind an Schwenkhebeln
22 befestigt, die an ihrem freien Ende zusätzlich mit Bodenhaltern 23 ausgestattet
sind.
Die äußeren schwenkbaren Seitenhalter 21 sind mit einer eine Einlaufschräge 24
aufweisenden Haltenut 26 und die inneren Seitenhalter 18 mit mehreren übereinanderliegenden
Haltekerben 27 für die Hüllmaterialzuschnitte 1 ausgestattet. Haltenut
26 und Haltekerben 27 der Seitenhalter 21 bzw. 18 liegen in ihrer Arbeitsstellung
im wesentlichen gegenüber, um möglichst kein Drehmoment beim Erfassen

Darüber hinaus erstrecken sich zwecks Stabilisierung des Zuschnitts 1 beim
Schwenken im Bereich der Aufgabestation S1 und über den Förderabschnitt F1
zwischen der Aufgabestation S1 und der Faltstation S2 ortsfeste Führungen 28
bzw. 29 und 31. Im Bereich der ersten Faltstation S2 sind dem unteren Drehteller 8
bzw. dem überlappenden oberen Drehteller 12 unterseitig ein äußerer Faltstößel 32
und ein innerer Unterstößel 33 zugeordnet, welche gemeinsam bzw. relativ zueinander
durch die Ebene der Aufnahmeplattform 16 bzw. die Aufnahmetaschen 11
des unteren Drehtellers 8 hindurchbewegbar sind. Der Faltstößel 32 ist mit oberen
Nasen 34 versehen. Dem Unterstößel 33 ist ein gegenläufig bzw. synchron absenkbarer
Oberstößel 36 zugeordnet.
Darüber hinaus sind an der Faltstation S2 mit der Absenkbewegung von Falt- und
Unterstößeln 32, 33 synchronisierte, mit einem geringen Abstand übereinanderliegend
angeordnete Hilfsführungen 37 und 38 für die Zuschnitte 1 vorgesehen.The respective standstill positions of the

In addition, for the purpose of stabilizing the blank 1 when pivoting in the area of the feed station S1 and via the conveying section F1 between the feed station S1 and the folding station S2,
In addition,
Die Wirkungsweise zum Überführen der Umhüllungszuschnitte 1 von der Aufgabestation
S1 zur Faltstation S2 ist wie folgt:
Gemäß Figur 1 nehmen die äußeren bewegbaren Seitenhalter 21 in der Aufgabestation
S1 eine äußere Schwenkstellung ein. Die Hüllmaterialzuschnitte 1 werden
auf nicht dargestellte Weise beispielsweise durch radialen Einschub oder vertikale
Auflage auf die Aufnahmeplattform 16 mehr oder weniger genau zwischen die ausreichend
beabstandeten Seitenhalter überführt. Durch die an die Saugöffnungen 17
angelegte Saugluft werden die Zuschnitte 1 fixiert und durch die einwärtsschwenkenden
Seitenhalter 21 von deren Haltenut 26 erfasst, gegen die ortsfesten Seitenhalter
18 bewegt, von deren Haltekerben 27 eingefangen, fixiert und dabei exakt
ausgerichtet.
Auf diese Weise wird beim anschließenden Förderschritt auf dem Förderabschnitt
F1 von der Aufgabestation S1 zur Faltstation S2 verhindert, dass dabei auftretende
Beschleunigungen und Verzögerungen die Hüllmaterialzuschnitte 1 verlagern bzw.
seitlich oder radial versetzen bzw. vertikal aufwölben. Dadurch werden die Hüllmaterialzuschnitte
1 in der Faltstation F2 exakt relativ zu den dorthin ebenfalls überführten
Zigarettengruppen 4 positioniert, so dass dort auf bekannte Weise gemäß
der DE-OS 197 03 069 Verpackungsoperationen vorgenommen werden können.The mode of operation for transferring the wrapping
According to FIG. 1, the outer
In this way, during the subsequent conveying step on the conveying section F1 from the loading station S1 to the folding station S2, it is prevented that accelerations and decelerations occurring in the process shift or cut laterally or radially or bulge vertically. As a result, the wrapping
