  • the invention relates to a machine for producing cigarette packs, with each package wrapped in the wrapping material Cigarette group, the machine has a number of conveying elements has and each funding body several funding elements having in contact with the cigarette group and / or the Wrapping material are brought and each with a conveyor element of an adjacent funding body cooperate, whereby the funding elements in particular with outlets for the groups or with bags to promote the groups and / or the packs or with conveyor heads to convey the wrapping material and provided with folding devices for folding the wrapping material are.
  • Such a machine for producing cigarette packs is known from document EP-A-1 142 788. With this machine is the number of pockets or folding elements per transport wheel or band so that there is always a fixed assignment of the pockets of a transport wheel with the pockets of another transport wheel always working together. For example, a group of cigarettes from a bag 1 of the transport bike I exclusively always hand over to a bag 1 or 7 of transport bike II.
  • This task is solved by a machine for the production of Packets of cigarettes, each pack containing one in the wrapping material has wrapped cigarette group, the machine has a number on funding bodies and each funding body has several Has conveying elements in contact with the cigarette group and / or the wrapping material are brought and with each interact with a funding element of an adjacent funding body, the conveying elements in particular with outlets for the groups or with bags to promote the groups and / or the packs or with conveying heads to convey the wrapping material and with folding devices for folding the wrapping material are provided, which is further developed by that at the same machine speed the production output is adaptable to the machine.
  • the invention is based on the idea that the conveying speed of the funding bodies remains constant and at the same time the production output is variable.
  • production performance in particular the machine's performance is understood, a number of finished cigarette packs in a given Time unit.
  • the cigarettes on one Blocking station formed into a cigarette group the following is wrapped with wrapping material and to a accumulation conveyor is delivered.
  • machine speed the speed understood, with the one hand driven the funding bodies and on the other hand the speed with which one is formed Group of cigarettes from the block forming station to the delivery station or the accumulation conveyor is transported.
  • the conveying bodies is also the conveying speed of the manufactured groups of cigarettes, because the funding bodies synchronized with each other or driven.
  • the production output of a cigarette format to be packaged to be more flexible or to vary without the speed of the drive elements is changed. To that extent the production output related to the production output before Adaptation, or to the constant conveyor speed of the organs or cigarette groups scalable or variable.
  • the ratio corresponds to the adjusted production output to the production output before the adjustment Ratio of natural integers so that they are related to each other interacting elements of the conveyor or folding members interact without changing the drive speed.
  • the production output is scalable in stages or in stages, the production output after the adjustment of the machine is correspondingly lowered or increased.
  • the machine be designed such that several Formats are processable.
  • the machine be designed such that several Formats are processable.
  • the machine with respect to its conveying elements and / or conveying elements to the number of to be processed Formats is customizable.
  • the conveying members and / or the conveying elements are advantageous convertible or interchangeable.
  • the funding bodies can be such be convertible that the conveyor elements on a conveyor be reduced or increased in number, so that production output is variable depending on the requirement.
  • the retrofitting can for example by manually inserting the conveyor elements respectively.
  • the funding bodies are automatically opened, for example Adjusted at the push of a button.
  • the conveyor elements can be activated or deactivated, so that the existing conveyor elements are switched off or be switched on without manual installation or Expansion of the funding elements on the funding bodies in the event of a change the production output must take place.
  • the activation or Deactivation of the conveyor elements can be done automatically by a Control command, e.g. by pressing a button.
  • the conveying members are detachable the machine are arranged so that by replacing a complete conveyor wheel quickly made an adjustment can be.
  • An alternative development of the invention proposes that multiple formats can be processed simultaneously on the machine are.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a machine 10 for producing cigarette packs with their essential components.
  • the packaging machine 10 shown is used for packaging Packaged goods units in the form of cigarette groups 17, which the Machine 10 are fed by means of a transport wheel 18, whose individual pockets 16 from one with individual cigarettes filled stowage shaft 15 filled with cigarette blocks 17 become.
  • the Cigarette groups 17 for the production of cuboid soft packs, the Cigarette groups 17 in several wrapping components during their transport from the block formation station with the stowage shaft 15 struck to a accumulation conveyor 60.
  • the wrapping components are usually made of aluminum foil and a paper blank, the aluminum foil being an inner wrapping and the blank paper form an outer wrapper.
  • the one for manufacturing the cigarette packs or their inner and outer wrappings necessary folds z.
  • B. hose folds, head folds as well as bottom folds are described by the below Elements of the packaging machine 10 executed.
  • the cigarette groups 17 in the receiving pockets 16 are from transfer the transport wheel 18 to another transport wheel 20.
  • a so-called instead of the transport wheel 18 Chamber band inserted One of the transport wheel 18
  • the cigarette group 17 transferred is received by a recording head 21 of the transport wheel 20 taken over.
  • the recording head 21 is in front the reception of the cigarette group 17 by means of a collar feed unit 22 provided with a lid 24.
  • a lid 24 is used for this by means of a head element 23 of the collar feed unit 22 into one hand over empty recording head 21.
  • the transport wheel 40 has recording heads 41, which before Transfer of the cigarette group 17 fed a blank paper 45 becomes.
  • the finished cigarette pack is then manufactured on the transport wheel 40, so that subsequently the manufactured Cigarette pack 17 is passed to a pocket wheel 50, the finished cigarette packs 51 to a accumulation conveyor 60 passes.
  • the accumulation conveyor 60 is used for collecting and Do not transfer the manufactured cigarette packs to one further shown cellophane machine for the purpose of wrapping in a transparent film.
  • the transport wheels 18, 20, 30, 40, 50 operated synchronously so that the regularly driven elements 16, 21, 31, 41, 51 on the transport wheels 18, 20, 30, 40, 50 work together evenly so that continuously Cigarette packs are made.
  • Working elements on the transport wheels provided for feeding of wrapping material or for folding the supplied wrapping material, the elements of which are also regularly sent to Organs are arranged.
  • the drive of these working organs is also synchronized with the drive of the transport wheels.
  • a packaging machine 10 is shown schematically in FIG through the inclusion of additional recording heads and through the addition the feeding devices or folding organs have been converted.
  • additional stowage shafts 15 at the block formation station educated.
