Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for forming Cigarette blocks made from conical cigarettes according to the preambles of the claims 1 and 21.
  • Cigarettes that are conical in the direction of their longitudinal axis and to have a thicker and a thinner end, as they alternate in pieces or groups with the thicker or thinner end to one side to achieve an essentially cuboid packing, manufactured and packaged manually.
  • the object of the invention is to provide methods and devices according to the Preambles of claims 1 and 21 to provide automation of the Allow packaging of conical cigarettes.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically in rear view an apparatus for forming of cigarette blocks made from conical cigarettes.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of the device from FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a transfer of a cigarette block formation the device of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows the filling of a tray for the device of FIG Fig. 1.
  • FIG. 5 and 6 show a front and a side view of another Embodiment of a tray for an apparatus for forming Blocks of conical cigarettes.
  • 7a, 7b to 9a, 9b show cells filled with cigarettes of a conveyor a device for forming cigarette blocks in front view and in Top view.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show a further embodiment of a device for Forming cigarette blocks from conical cigarettes in side view and in Top view.
  • FIG. 12 shows a side view of a variant of the embodiment of FIG. 10, 11.
  • the device shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 includes a conveyor 1 a plurality of axially open cells 2, which are arranged equidistant from one another are.
  • a cell-carrying belt conveyor 1 can be used as the conveyor 1 can be used, but is also provided with axially open cells 2
  • the revolver can be used as conveyor 1.
  • the cells 2 of the conveyor 1 are corresponding to one or more cell divisions via a corresponding one Drive cycled movable in the conveying direction.
  • a lifting device Adjacent to conveyor 1 is a lifting device (not shown) for a collar 3 is provided.
  • the lifting device is each a slant 3 ' fed via a (not shown) tray feeder and each empty trays 3 "can via a (not shown) tray discharge device be dissipated.
  • the collar 3 has a plurality of holes 4 each for receiving a cigarette.
  • the holes 4 are in groups of formations according to the desired arrangement pattern of cigarettes in one arranged to be manufactured packaging, namely in the illustrated Embodiment in two rows of alternating with their thick and thin ends arranged cigarettes with appropriate offset of the Cigarettes in rows, cf. the first arrangement example given at the beginning. Accordingly, the holes 4 are alternately cylindrical and conical trained, cf. also Fig. 4, wherein the conical holes 4 adjacent to Conveyor 1 have the same diameter as the cylindrical bores 4. On the side facing away from the conveyor 1, each bore 4 is opposite to the Bore 4 reduced in diameter and this coaxial access opening 5 for the passage of a corresponding push-out finger 6 of a slide 7 Mistake.
  • the groups of formations can be in one or more rows be provided. In the illustrated embodiment, four rows are shown which are spaced apart according to the cell division of the cells 2.
  • the conveyor 1 When the pushing process is complete, the conveyor 1 clocked accordingly. At the same time, the height of the tray 3 becomes Conveyor 1 adjusted by a cigarette block division, so when stopping again the conveyor 1 whose cells 2 can be filled again with cigarettes. If the tray 3 is empty, it is replaced. Even if this is done manually a considerable automation effect is still achieved.
  • the cigarette blocks thus formed can then be in a removal position in cells of a packaging device, as is common in the cigarette industry, be pushed over to be wrapped with appropriate papers and cling film to become.
  • the trays 3 are expediently by means of a Exit side of the mask 9, cf. Fig. 4, with cigarettes equipped so that these with their thick and thin ends in the correct arrangement arranged in accordance with the desired arrangement pattern in the tray 3 become, i.e. the mask 9 of FIG. 4, for example, only enables the filling of the cylindrical bores 4, after which the conical bores 4, if necessary can also be filled via a corresponding mask 9.
  • the mask 9 opposite the bottom of the holes having the access opening 5 4 the cigarettes in the holes 4 when handling the tray 3 held.
  • FIGS. 5, 6 Two Slant 3 of an embodiment as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 is used with respect to the conveyor 1 on opposite sides are arranged.
  • the two trays 3 have this embodiment Bores 4, which need only be cylindrical and only half in number Comparison to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4 are present.
  • the arrangement pattern of the holes 4 on the one hand the arrangement of the Cigarettes with a thin and on the other hand with a thick end, such as those in the arrangement patterns listed at the beginning. From each of the two trays 3 each one half of the cigarettes of a cigarette block in a cell 2 of the conveyor 1 is pushed over by means of a slide 7, so that by pushing it into cell 2 from both sides Cigarette block formation results.
  • cells 2 consisting of two can also be used Halves exist, between which an intermediate plate 11 is clamped, Fig. 9a, 9b.
  • the axial bores 10 are provided touching each other, the Web areas adjacent to the intermediate plate 11 are removed, so that troughs form for the cigarettes on both sides of the intermediate plate 11.
  • the intermediate plate 11 can be additionally corrugated.
  • the Cells 2 of the conveyor 1 from two sides show the cigarettes as a mass flow fed.
  • cigarette conveyors 12 are provided, by means of which the conical cigarettes cigarette funnels 13 are supplied.
  • the Cigarette conveyor 12 can be provided with appropriate troughs that can optionally be inclined according to the taper of the cigarettes, so that the central axes of the cigarettes are essentially horizontal.
  • the Cigarette funnels 13 each have a number of chutes 14 correspondingly the number of to form a sheet with its thin end first pushing cigarettes. Located on the entry side to the respective shafts 14 vibrating rollers 15 to ensure that the delivered cigarettes enter the shafts 14 to facilitate.
  • the vibrating rollers 15 are expediently also conical, This prevents the cigarettes from tipping over and ensures even delivery becomes.
  • the shafts 14 expediently have a corresponding to Cigarette shape conical entry area, i.e. that their entrance area is adjacent to the conveyor 1 is narrower than on the side facing away from the conveyor 1. Are below however, the shafts 14 are delimited by parallel walls.
  • the cigarette hoppers 13 are above the chutes 14 by in accordance with the shape of the cigarettes Axial direction of the cigarettes limited conical or inclined side walls 16, of which the side wall opposite the respective cigarette funnel 12 16 is preferably curved in the direction of the cigarette conveyor 12 is. With a deeper cigarette funnel 13 as in the one on the right in FIG.
  • the room divider 17 which is fixed or movable, for example around his
  • the center axis can be arranged in the cigarette funnel 13 in a vibrating or shaking manner can have different cross-sectional shapes. So the latter, like shown, substantially diamond-shaped, but also essentially instead square, circular, i.e. forming a conical role, or oval or the like. his.
  • conveyor 1 is clocked, in each case by one Cell division.
  • Fig. 12 in which the above-described variant of the offset Pushing is shown, for which purpose the cigarettes are offset in height in the shafts 14 are arranged.
  • transmission wheels that are on the circumference conical troughs are provided to hold cigarettes therein, for example by means of To keep suction air while turning the transfer wheels, after which the Cigarettes in cells of a corresponding conveyor, for example by means of a corresponding Slider are transferred.
