Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for forming Item groups from a predetermined number of articles of the tobacco processing industry in one Packing facility, the items from a manufacturing facility by means of a conveyor to the packing facility be transported.
  • EP-B-0 764 582 describes a method and an Device for forming and transferring cigarette groups in a packaging machine with several Packaging lines known.
  • EP-A-0 602 638 Manufacturing process for tobacco articles known with a Production line, which is a manufacturing machine for the Articles and a block forming machine for forming Article groups with a predetermined number of articles includes.
  • the items are from the manufacturing machine to the group formation machine by means of a conveyor promoted, with a transfer facility is provided which is an uninterrupted and ongoing Sequence of articles put together, in the packing facility a group with a predetermined one Number of articles, for example, arranged in a pocket becomes.
  • This task is solved by a method of formation of article groups from a predetermined one Number of articles of the tobacco processing industry, especially cigarettes, in a packing facility, wherein the items from a manufacturing facility a conveyor transported to the packing facility be further developed by the fact that for each Article at least one characteristic is recorded.
  • the invention is based on the idea that for each Article an article-specific characteristic is determined, so that when the articles are blocked, in particular of cigarettes, the composition of the article group known with regard to it article-specific feature is.
  • an item-specific characteristic the condensate and / or nicotine content of a cigarette detected.
  • quality management will be improved since long term the production of cigarettes and finished ones Cigarette packets are monitored and so statements about the manufacturing process or the manufacturing machines as well as information about the formed article groups possible are.
  • the condensate content or nicotine content of cigarettes can vary, it is according to the invention possible to determine whether the total condensate content or total nicotine content of an article pack or - Group (on average) constant over a production period remains or varies.
  • the features of the articles are the geometric ones Dimensions and / or chemical and / or physical Properties recorded. These measurable characteristics of Articles are article-specific or characteristic and can differ from article to article. Under Geometric dimensions are especially the length and understood the width and volume of the item. Chemical properties can include the condensate content or the nicotine content of a cigarette because the The content of these substances is decisive for the taste and the health effects on a smoking Person. As a physical property of an article the Tobacco processing industry, for example, the degree of ventilation a cigarette.
  • the detection means a Characteristic also the corresponding assignment of the article parameters to the respective 0rt of the article according to the Registration of the characteristic. This enables it to be exact can be specified which cigarettes to a Cigarette group can be arranged in a pocket, so that it is easy to understand in which pack or Cigarette group there is a faulty cigarette.
  • At least one characteristic value for each Article group formed from the characteristics of the article becomes.
  • the characteristic value formed is specific and characteristic for the respective article group formed, see above that for each article group formed, for example, the total nicotine content all articles can be determined.
  • the mean value of the Characteristics of the articles in an article group determined.
  • an article is a characteristic standard not fulfilled, i.e. that e.g. the nicotine content over the legal value or that a
  • the invention provides that an article depending on its at least a characteristic before the formation of an article group Will get removed. This ensures that the Targeted composition of an article group is, so that both the article group and everyone Article determined quality or selection criteria enough. For example, if the total nicotine content is one Article group should not be exceeded, so it is in Framework of the invention possible that the last to be introduced Items that have an increased nicotine content exhibit and exceed the total Nicotine content of all articles or cigarettes of the Articles would lead, be removed and others subsequent or provided articles with a lower nicotine content of the article group to be formed be assigned.
  • an article group depending on the entirety of the characteristics of the Item and / or removed depending on the characteristic value.
  • the inventive method allows that after the group formation one article group the other Production process is extracted when this item group certain selection or quality criteria Suffice it to do this: only such packs of cigarettes will arrive on the market, the qualitative and / or or legal standards exactly meet. It is also from Advantage if the characteristics of the article and / or the Characteristic values of the article groups are saved. In order to is an inventory of data or a database on the manufactured and packaged items that created it allowed the quality of the monitor manufactured articles or groups.
  • the characteristics of the article and / or the characteristic values of the article groups by means of a, especially central, computer unit can be managed.
  • FIG. 1 shows an arrangement in a basic illustration shown by means of the inventive method is feasible.
  • a manufacturing machine 10 e.g. Cigarette making machine
  • cigarettes become 15 manufactured by the manufacturing machine 10 to a Conveyor 12 are delivered.
  • the cigarettes 15 become a packing machine from the manufacturing machine 20 transported and from this into a pocket or placed in another container, so that cigarette packs 25 with a predetermined number Cigarettes leave the cigarette packing machine.
  • subsequent steps not shown several packs of cigarettes combined in a container.
  • Characteristic determined the length or width of the cigarette become.

  • r degree of ventilation the cigarette or chemical properties of the Cigarette can be detected.
  • r degree of ventilation the cigarette or chemical properties of the Cigarette can be detected.
  • the features determined are sent to a computer unit 40 forwarded, the computing unit 40 with the Conveyor 12 can be synchronized so that each cigarette 15 on the conveyor 12 of the 0rt the cigarette and the respective characteristic or the respective Characteristics can be clearly assigned to each other or correlate clearly. If multiple characteristics too a cigarette can be found, a so-called. Feature vector by means of the computer unit 40 of the corresponding one Assigned cigarette on the conveyor become.
  • the composition of the packs 25, each with a predetermined number of cigarettes is determined from the continuously supplied cigarette stream.
  • precise knowledge of the cigarettes in a pack is achieved.
  • Statistical evaluations can then be carried out so that quality statements can be made about the manufacturing process or the quality of the cigarettes.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of the invention Process shown schematically. During the Transporting the cigarettes 15 on the conveyor 12 is based on that of the manufacturing machine 10 features determined by computer unit 40 are checked, whether a cigarette is faulty. In the illustrated here An embodiment is considered to be faulty identified and marked cigarette with the reference symbol 16 provided.
  • the cigarettes Before the supplied cigarettes 15 by means of Packing machine put together to a cigarette pack the cigarettes pass through an ejection device 30 and a compression device 35.
