Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for conveying rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry, in particular cigarettes, wherein the articles are held on a conveyor drum by means of a holding vacuum and in an unloading case an article in a transfer area is transferred to a removal drum. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for conveying rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry, in particular cigarettes, with at least one conveyor drum and a removal drum, which can be acted upon for holding articles, each with a holding vacuum.
  • the invention relates to a machine of the tobacco processing industry, in particular Filteransetzmaschine.
  • cigarettes in single-ply row are held with suction air transversely to their axial direction on conveyor drums, which are primarily drums of cigarette making machines or filter attachment machines.
  • the conveyor drums have in their peripheral surface suction air openings which are in communication with a vacuum source.
  • the transfer of cigarettes from a first conveyor to the next is usually carried out in that the holding air is interrupted in the transfer area in the respective donating, first conveyor, while the holding air is turned on each receiving, second conveyor.
  • control segments are arranged for interrupting the holding air in the peripheral portion of the first conveyor forming the transfer region, which control the Saugluftö réelleen of the conveyor cover in this section and thereby disconnect from the vacuum.
  • Applicant's US-A-4 452 255 discloses a cigarette transfer from a drum to a subsequent drum.
  • the holding vacuum is switched off on the first drum. If a defective or cigarette for sampling to remain on the first drum, so compressed air is blown from the receiving trough to the donor trough, and thus reduces the holding vacuum in the donor trough.
  • compressed air is fed from the same source of compressed air to an injector, which generates a negative pressure in the dispensing trough of the first drum, so that the cigarette remains in the dispensing trough during further conveying.
  • US-B-6,368,041 discloses the transfer and transfer of cigarettes from a first drum to another drum.
  • the holding vacuum on the first conveyor drum is switched off and at the same time a vacuum is applied to the second conveyor drum in the area of the transfer point.
  • the applied vacuum is reduced at the second conveyor drum, so that the cigarette remains on the first conveyor drum.
  • DE-A-32 32 792 discloses a conveying device for rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry, wherein the conveyed articles are held with suction air on the circumference of the conveyors. To remove samples, a negative pressure is applied to the rod-shaped articles on the first conveyor in the transfer region, so that the rod-shaped articles remain on the first conveyor.
  • European patent EP-B-0 584 774 a cigarette transfer from a tray conveyor to a sampling drum is described.
  • the negative pressure of the receiving trough of the sampling drum is greater than the negative pressure of the dispensing trough of the drum conveyor.
  • a disadvantage of the removal of a cigarette from the production stream is that the cigarette to be removed is blown with compressed air, so that the cigarette is accelerated by the compressed air and flies from the donor trough and lands on the receiving trough of the removal drum. This removal is very difficult and only for a predetermined speed of the drums set. In addition, the cigarette is mechanically stressed and possibly deformed, so that it is unsuitable for a subsequent quality inspection.
  • This object is achieved by means of a method of the type mentioned, which is further developed in that in the case of removal, the holding vacuum is compensated on the conveyor drum and a holding vacuum is applied to the removal drum.
  • the invention is based on the idea that the holding vacuum of the conveyor drum is compensated for transfer of a cigarette to a removal drum, so that a gentle sampling sample from the current production is realized.
  • the corresponding receiving trough for a cigarette is supplied with suction air.
  • the still existing and applied holding vacuum is compensated, so that the cigarette is no longer held in the receiving trough.
  • the holding vacuum of the removal drum is canceled, so that the cigarettes remain on the conveyor drum.
  • a gentle removal of a cigarette can be achieved in that a holding vacuum is applied to the receiving trough of the removal drum and at the same time the compensation of the holding vacuum is switched off. Overall, a gentle transfer of cigarettes to a removal drum is thereby realized.
  • the removal drum is e.g. subjected to a holding vacuum, which is, however, compensated or will.
  • the holding vacuum on the removal drum and on the conveyor drum by means of compressed air, in particular pressure surge, repealed.
  • the compressed air is supplied to either the removal drum or the conveyor drum.
  • the applied holding vacuum can be canceled depending on the mode of operation - removal or non-withdrawal of cigarettes.
  • only one source of compressed air is required, which is connected depending on the mode with the removal drum or the conveyor drum.
  • the articles are subjected to holding vacuum via suction holes of the conveyor drum or via suction holes of the removal drum.
  • a further solution of the problem consists in a device of the type mentioned is that when removing an article by means of the removal drum of the conveyor drum, the applied to the conveyor drum holding vacuum is compensated.
  • the holding vacuum with compressed air in particular pressure surge, can be canceled.
  • the compressed air can be supplied to either the removal drum or the conveyor drum.
  • the conveying drum and / or the removal drum has suction bores for applying a holding vacuum.
  • the holding vacuum can be canceled at a single article receptacle of the conveyor drum or the removal drum.
  • a compressed air source is provided.
  • a valve for the compressed air source is provided to selectively connect the compressed air source to the conveyor drum or the removal drum.
  • the object is also achieved by a machine of the tobacco processing industry, in particular filter attachment machine, which is formed according to the invention with one of the apparatus described above.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 the same drum arrangement, consisting of a conveyor drum 2 and a removal drum 3, is shown partially in cross-section.
  • the conveyor drum 2 has on the outer peripheral surface suction holes 6, which are acted upon by suction, so that cigarettes 4 rest in the receiving troughs of the conveyor drum 2 and are held.
  • the conveyor drum 2 moves the cigarettes 4 into a transfer area 5, so that a cigarette 4 is removed by means of the removal drum 3.
  • the removal drum 3 also has on its peripheral surface receiving troughs, which are acted upon by suction holes 7 with suction.
  • the stationary control body 8 has a bore 10, which is continuously supplied with suction air.
  • the bore 10 is further connected via a connecting piece 11 with a channel 12 which is connectable via a line 13 by means of a switchable valve 15 with a compressed air source (not shown here).
  • control body 9 is arranged in the interior of the removal drum 3.
  • the control body 8 also has a bore 16 in the transfer region 5, which is connected via a connecting piece 17 with a channel 18.
  • the channel 18 can be connected to compressed air via a line 15 and with appropriate switching of the valve 15 to a source of compressed air (Fig. 1).
  • Fig. 1 the case of non-removal of a cigarette 4 from the conveyor drum 2 is shown.
  • the removal case is shown in Fig. 2.
  • the holes 10 and 16 of the drums 2 and 3 are acted upon by suction, wherein in the non-removal case, the holding vacuum in the bore 16 by compressed air from the compressed air source via the valve 15, the line 14, the channel 18 and the connector 17 is compensated. In this case, the cigarettes 4 remain on the conveyor drum 2 (FIG. 1).
  • valve 15 is switched so that the pressure on the bore 10 compensates for the holding vacuum.
  • a pressure surge so that the holding vacuum is canceled in the bore 10 and the cigarette 4 is no longer held on the drum 2.
  • the compensation of the holding vacuum in the bore 16 of the drum 3 is canceled or switched off, so that the cigarette 4 is transferred to the removal drum 3.
  • the valve 15 is switched back into its initial position (FIG. 1).
  • the subject of the invention a gentle cigarette treatment and handover, as the cigarettes are gently and not torn against the resistance of the negative pressure from the trough of the conveyor drum and deformed.
  • a vacuum for the transfer of a cigarette must be switched.
