Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for wrapping groups of filter segments with a wrapping material for producing multisegment filters in the tobacco processing industry.
- the invention further relates to a Mul ti segmentfil terherstel l sensible.
- KDF filter rod machine
- groups of filter segments or groups of filter rods are formed in a cross process by means of a cross-forming group forming device and then passed to the strand forming device in such a way that the groups of filter rods can be sheathed axially axially with the sheathing material.
- the group-forming device is a device that is to be completely replaced when the filter segments or the order of the filter segments are changed.
- GC E A typical applicant's group forming device is called GC E. Both the KDF 2E and the GC E are known in specialist circles.
- Multi-segment filters or multi-filters are filters that consist of different segments, such as different materials. These materials are, for example, Cel 1 ulose acetate, paper, fleece, granules, sintered elements, hollow cylinders or hollow chambers and capsules and the like.
- Such multi-segment filters which also include the term “multiple filter” in the context of this invention, are encased after formation of groups of filter segments, for example in a strand process, with encasement material such as paper and then in two, four or six -fold long filter rods cut up for further processing.
- group forming device reference is made in particular to the applicant's older application, the has the file number DE 101 46 917.9. This application is to be fully included in the disclosure content of the present application by reference.
- a device for supplying wrapping material for tobacco products in which filter rod groups are combined with the aid of a roller drum and a roller plate to form multi-component filter rods by rolling connecting bands around adjoining end sections of each filter section of a group.
- a single union band can span one or more filter sections and thus unite more than two sections of the filter rod.
- the total width of the union bands is less than the length of the finished filter rod. This then results in gaps in the filter material in which no union bands have been wrapped around.
- the Mul tisegmentfil ter produced in this way have the disadvantage that their diameter varies. Furthermore, the method for producing or uniting the groups of filter segments is disadvantageous because at least one fixed rolling surface is provided, which exerts a considerable force on this group at the moment of entry of the group to be rolled, without receding. Due to the rigidity of the rolling surfaces, the groups to be rolled can be damaged.
- the present invention has for its object on the one hand to provide a device for wrapping groups of filter segments with a wrapping material for the production of multi-segment filters of the tobacco processing industry, by means of which a diameter of the most uniform multi-segment filter ter produced can, and with which a gentle wrapping of the groups of filter segments is made possible, the wrapping process should be as reliable and simple as possible.
- it is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-segment filter manufacturing device which, on the one hand, solves the aforementioned task for the area of the device for enveloping groups of filter segments with a wrapping material, and on the other hand, a device for assembling groups of filter segments for the production of Multisegmentfiltem is further developed in such a way that variability in multi-ti ter production is possible.
- the corresponding device should also be inexpensive, in particular with regard to the variability in the production of different multifilters.
- both the device for enveloping groups of filter segments and in particular thus also the Mul isegmentfilterherstel 1 device should be designed to save space, in particular the corresponding operations that can be carried out with the corresponding devices or devices should be able to be realized on a shortened conveying path ,
- a device for covering groups of filter segments with a covering material for the production of multi-segment filters of the tobacco processing industry with a roller channel for rolling the groups with the covering material, the roller channel from adjacent strands of at least a first and at least one a second roller conveyor is formed.
- the device according to the invention has the advantage that a particularly gentle and space-saving wrapping of groups of filter segments for the production of multi-segment filters is made possible.
- a particularly gentle and space-saving wrapping of groups of filter segments for the production of multi-segment filters is made possible.
- by providing usually elastic bands it is possible to provide a gentle covering, in particular slight differences in diameter of the filter segments being compensated for.
- a pair of conveyor belts is provided for each segment. Due to the fact that only groups of filter segments are enveloped, it is possible to provide a relatively " narrow roller belt, so that in a preferred embodiment of the invention a single first roller belt and a single second roller belt are provided. This considerably simplifies the device according to the invention in particular with regard to the control of the device.
- the device according to the invention can also be called filter segment group wrapping device.
- a feed device for feeding the groups to the roll channel, the feed device being designed as a feed drum which delivers the groups directly to the roll channel, a particularly smooth and exact transfer of the groups to be wrapped to the roll channel is possible.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is present when the feed drum has a first deflection for one of the conveyor belts.
- the deflection can be a groove formed in the feed drum in which the Ro'llband to be deflected runs
- the rotary movement of the feed drum can simultaneously be used to drive one of the conveyor belts.
- the feed drum is preferably rotatably mounted with the first deflection about a common axis.
- the feed drum is preferably firmly connected to the first deflection, the feed drum serving as a drive for the roller conveyor rotating on the first deflection by means of the first deflection.
- a removal device for removing the enveloped groups from the rolling channel, the removal device being designed as a removal drum, a particularly space-saving device is provided.
- the removal drum is also preferably assigned a second deflection for one of the conveyor belts, in particular the removal drum and the second deflection being rotatably mounted about a common axis.
- the discharge drum and the second deflection are preferably relative to one another about the common axis rotatable.
- the peripheral speed of the conveyor drum can work independently of the speed of the conveyor belt at a speed of the conveyor belt rotating on the conveyor belt.
- the removal device preferably takes over the enveloped groups essentially directly from the rolling channel, which enables gentle and quick as well as safe transfer.
- a feed drum which has receptacles for the groups to be rolled is particularly preferred. It is again preferred if the feed drum has receptacles designed as first webs, channels opening into the webs, which can be connected to a vacuum source for holding the objects.
- the first webs are arranged transversely to the conveying direction of the feed drum. With the aid of such feed drums, the invention can be implemented particularly simply and reliably.
- the objects to be wrapped are gripped by the feed drum or the webs on the feed drum at the moment when the conveyor belt revolving on the feed drum when the corresponding web is located in the circumferential point of the feed drum closest to the other roller conveyor.
- roller conveyor rotating on the feed drum runs faster than the opposite roller conveyor. This ensures that at the moment of transfer of the groups to be wrapped to the roll channel, the groups roll forward. This is particularly preferred when the feed drum already transfers the objects to the rolling channel with the wrapping material attached. In this way, the rolling and thus the " wrapping of the objects can begin immediately at the beginning, ie directly when the groups are handed over, for example with attached wrapping material. It is therefore a defined and exact starting position of the Rolling set.
- the exact transfer of the enveloped groups from the rolling channel to the discharge drum can in turn be improved with the aid of the webs mentioned above, which run transverse to the conveying direction of the groups in the rolling channel.
- On the one hand can be accelerated against a web at a higher speed than the circumferential speed of the discharge drum of the surrounding conveyor belt of the enveloped groups, so that they can then be held exactly and defined on the webs by means of the channels opening into the webs and the connected vacuum source.
- the enveloped groups are again accelerated by the discharge drum or the corresponding web when leaving the roll channel in the case of a discharge drum running at a higher peripheral speed than the roller belt rotating around the discharge drum.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention has a feed drum with second channels, which in turn can be connected to a vacuum source for holding wrapping material or wrapping material sections on the feed drum.
- second webs are preferably provided, which run transversely axially and which open into the second channels. With the help of such webs, the wrapping material sections can also be held in a defined manner on the feed drum.
- Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that at least one of the roller belts is heated at least in the region of the roller channel. In such an embodiment, therefore, the adhesive connection which holds the wrapping material to the group to be wrapped when wrapped can be improved by the supply of heat.
- the revolving roller conveyor on the first deflection, assigned to the feed drum consists of a plurality of sub-belts arranged at a mutual distance from one another
- the arrangement of the webs can be used as a receptacle for the objects to be transported or the channels connected to a vacuum wave can be arranged on the webs Easier to implement by providing webs or roller conveyors alternately along the transverse axis to the conveying direction of the feed drum.
- the conveyor belts are not divided, i.e.
- the groups can be wrapped more precisely, the channels connected to a vacuum source being able to come into operative connection with passage openings provided in at least one conveyor belt , around to hold the corresponding filter segments in the groups of filter segments or the enveloped groups in a suitable manner by means of a pressure force or suction air in order to be able to feed them exactly to the rolling channel or to be able to remove them exactly from the rolling channel.
- the task is further enhanced by a multi segment filter! device with a device according to the invention for enveloping groups of filter segments with a wrapping material or a wrapping material section as described above, and a transfer device for transferring groups of filter segments - from "• • ' '" "of a filter segment group assembly device.
- a multi segment filter! device with a device according to the invention for enveloping groups of filter segments with a wrapping material or a wrapping material section as described above, and a transfer device for transferring groups of filter segments - from "• • ' '" "of a filter segment group assembly device.
