Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for conveying a strand of fibers tobacco processing industry, especially a tobacco rod in the strand formation area a strand manufacturing machine, with a strand guide channel with Side walls, with at least one side wall of this strand guide channel runs along the fiber strand.
  • Such a device is known for example from GB 919 150.
  • the moving side walls of the strand guide channel formed as air-permeable bands through which bands air is sucked in, so that the tobacco rod led by these tapes to the Tapes is sucked.
  • suction line conveyor A modern suction line conveyor is disclosed for example in DE 42 15 059. With these modern suction line conveyors the lower strand of the strand conveyor belt is usually used, on which the accumulated fiber strand is conveyed hanging. Subsequently the tobacco rod formed in this way becomes a trimming device Uniformization of the tobacco rod supplied.
  • the object of the present invention is to further extend the aforementioned devices to improve.
  • the quality of the head reinforcement is improved. Because of the moving side walls, the head reinforcement into the tobacco rod without relative movement between head reinforcement and introduced tobacco rod. The head reinforcement can therefore be essential Apply more regularly and precisely.
  • the co-rotating Side wall as at least one circumferential belt, preferably as a toothed belt educated.
  • a toothed belt can be driven with the help of toothed pulleys.
  • the toothed pulley driving the toothed belt as a ring is constructed from rods forming the teeth of the toothed lock washers.
  • Such Hamster cage-like design of the driving toothed disc prevents on the one hand contamination of the tooth gaps of the toothed disk and, on the other hand, one Contamination of the belt or the corresponding teeth of the belt.
  • the Contamination can be further reduced to a minimum if the bars of the Toothed pulley or the toothed belt itself with a special dirt-repellent Coating can be coated. It is also a strap advantageous that he by increasing the distance of the deflecting him Toothed lock washers can be easily clamped.
  • a further reduced contamination of the belt according to the invention can be in that a flat belt, i.e. a strap without teeth is used becomes. If a flat belt is used, it will because of the slippage the position of the recesses relative to the drive pulley and belt later cut, i.e. for cutting through the knife apparatus Cigarette rod specific machine cycle, queried and continuously synchronized.
  • the non-driving pulley for the toothed belt has no teeth. Also with the help of such a measure, the possible pollution of the further minimize the corresponding toothed pulley and the rotating toothed belt.
  • the toothed belt to the format infeed of the corresponding cigarette making machine continued.
  • the tobacco rod can be used for a long time accompany moving side walls.
  • the driving toothed pulley is from a digital one Servo drive system is driven.
  • the speed of the driving motor can be controlled so precisely that an exact Position the head reinforcement for the subsequent cut of the cigarette rod is guaranteed in the individual cigarettes. That means that Head reinforcements are located exactly at the ends of the tobacco sticks.
  • only one or both side walls run with the fiber strand or have only one or both side walls Recesses for introducing the head reinforcements.
  • the surface of the moving side wall is coated with an electrically conductive coating.
  • the surface resistance with the aid of such a coating is less than 3 ⁇ 10 8 ⁇ , preferably less than 10 6 ⁇ .
  • a toothed belt coated in this way also fulfills DIN 22104 "Antistatic Conveyor Belts".
  • polypolefins in particular polyethylenes and polypropylenes, or Hytrel, especially polyester elastomer, proven.
  • the total length of the circumferential belt is an integral multiple of the length of the tobacco stick represents tobacco sticks to be produced and moreover by the division of the Toothed belt is divisible. This will ensure that the eventual manufactured tobacco sticks each the head reinforcements only on one or on their have both ends, that is, an exact positioning of the head reinforcements is reached at the desired locations.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that that the strand guide channel continuously narrows in the conveying direction. To this Way it is possible to pass through the tobacco rod through the Equalizer to reduce the cross-section of the tobacco rod.
  • the state technology are the fixed side walls of the tobacco channel in the conveying direction arranged slightly divergent.
  • the infeed finger which wraps the tobacco rod introduces with a strip of wrapping material, to a relatively violent narrowing of the cross-section, which is problematic with regard to the running safety of the machine.
  • the cheek running according to the invention increases the running safety of the machine, because the tobacco rod is constantly guided from the side, carried along and light is compressed.
  • the moving side walls are air-permeable are so that air is sucked through them and thus the conveyed fiber strand to the Side walls can be sucked. In this way, the contouring of the strand thus promoted.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that that the recesses in the side walls alternately stronger and weaker are trained. In this way it can be achieved that the thus generated Head reinforcements, for example at the filter end of the tobacco rod, are weaker than at the end of the fire of the tobacco stick.
  • the Invention individually tailored to the needs of the respective cigarette to be manufactured come in.
  • Figure 1 shows a cross section through a strand formation area 1 of one shown strand manufacturing machine for producing a not shown Tobacco strands.
  • the strand formation area 1 has a housing 2.
  • the housing 2 consists of two substantially parallel to each other Drawing plane of Figure 1 vertical cheeks 4a and 4b.
  • the cheeks 4a and 4b close between themselves in the upper part of FIG Cavity 6 a.
  • the prevailing pressure in the cavity 6 is relative to the ambient pressure Vacuum.
  • the cavity 6 is delimited at the bottom two strips 8a and 8b running parallel to the cheeks 4a and 4b. Between the strips 8a and 8b is supported by a bearing 10 in the strip 8b a roller 12 arranged.
  • the conveying direction of the strand formation area 1 contains a plurality of rollers 12 behind each other.
  • the strips 8a and 8b have at their lower ends 14a and 14b mutually opposite boundary surfaces 16a and 16b. This Boundary surfaces 16a and 16b form the lateral boundary for the movement a suction line conveyor 18 transverse to the perpendicular to the plane of the drawing Figure 1 extending conveying direction of this suction strand conveyor 18.
  • the in the Figure 1 shown lower strand 20 of the suction line conveyor 18 forms the bottom a strand guide channel 22.
  • the strand guide channel 22 is downward open and is delimited on both sides by channel cheeks 24 and 26.
  • the Lower run 20 runs over the roller 12.
  • the lower strand 20 does not convey the shown tobacco rod hanging in a known manner.
  • the 22 facing away from the strand guide channel Back 28 by the negative pressure in the cavity 6 with a negative pressure is applied, which one through the strand conveyor belt 18 Holding tobacco rod during its conveyance in the strand guide channel 22 Induced suction.
  • recesses 30 and 32 are provided in the channel cheeks 24 and 26 laterally delimiting the strand guide channel 22.
  • recesses 30 and 32 respectively run timing belts 34 and 36 respectively.
  • Timing belts 34 and 36 are periodically spaced from one another in FIG. 2 shown recesses molded.
  • the ones with the recesses Backs 38 and 40 of the toothed belts 34 and 36 form moving side walls for the one guided in the strand guide channel 22 by the strand conveyor belt 18 Tobacco rod.
  • FIG. 2 shows part of the strand formation area 1 shown in FIG. 1 in a partially simplified perspective view. Same parts are with the same reference numerals.
  • the bar 8a can be seen, which as Guide bar for the lower run 20 of the suction strand conveyor belt, not shown in FIG. 2 18 serves.
  • FIG. 2 shows those on the left in FIG. 1 shown channel cheek 24, which serves as a guide bar for the toothed belt 34.
  • the channel cheek 24 In order to hold the toothed belt 34 in the recess 30, the channel cheek 24 a projection 25 on.
