Die Erfindung befaßt sich mit einer Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von stabförmigen Tabakprodukten mit einem Filter, insbesondere von Filterzigaretten, im wesentlichen umfassend eine Tabakstockzufuhreinrichtung, eine Filterzufuhreinrichtung, eine Belagpapierzufuhreinrichtung, eine Zigarettenherstelleinrichtung, eine Zigarettenprüfeinrichtung sowie eine Zigarettenabgabeeinrichtung, wobei sämtliche Einrichtungen eine Vielzahl von Trommeln zur Bildung eines Trommellaufs aufweisen, der mittels eines Antriebsmittels lagesynchron zum Transport der stabförmigen Tabakprodukte innerhalb der Vorrichtung antreibbar ist.The invention relates to a device for producing rod-shaped Tobacco products with a filter, in particular filter cigarettes, substantially comprising a tobacco rod feed device, a filter feed device, a Tipping paper supply device, a cigarette manufacturing device, a Cigarette testing device and a cigarette dispenser, wherein all Have a plurality of drums for forming a drum barrel, the position-synchronized by means of a drive means for transporting the rod-shaped Tobacco products within the device is driven.

Derartige Vorrichtungen werden im Bereich der Tabakindustrie zur Herstellung von Filterzigaretten, -zigarillos etc. eingesetzt und sind als Filteransatzmaschinen bekannt. Bekannten Vorrichtungen weisen ein zentrales Antriebsmittel auf. Für den lagesynchronen Antrieb aller Trommeln innerhalb der Vorrichtung wird üblicherweise ein mechanisches Getriebe eingesetzt. In anderen bekannten Vorrichtungen ist jeder Trommel ein Antrieb zugeordnet, wobei Antrieb und Trommel jeweils eine separate Einheit bilden, die über eine Kupplungsvorrichtung oder dergleichen miteinander verbunden sind. Es sind weiterhin Vorrichtungen bekannt, bei denen der Antrieb integraler Bestandteil der Trommel selbst ist. Sämtliche Vorrichtungen weisen jedoch den Nachteil auf, daß sie konstruktiv sehr aufwendig und damit teuer in der Herstellung sind. Dies wird insbesondere durch den Einsatz eines Getriebes bzw. von Kupplungen verursacht. Die Notwendigkeit eines Getriebes bzw. von Kupplungen führt des weiteren zu einer großen Baulänge des Antriebsmittels sowie zu einer erhöhten Lärmerzeugung. Such devices are used in the tobacco industry for the production of Filter cigarettes, cigarettes, etc. used and are known as filter attachment machines. Known devices have a central drive means. For the The synchronous drive of all drums within the device usually becomes a mechanical transmission used. In other known devices everyone is Drum assigned to a drive, wherein the drive and drum each have a separate Form unit, via a coupling device or the like with each other are connected. There are also known devices in which the drive integral part of the drum itself.

Through the integrated concept, the drive means and the drum unit separate from each other and yet as a unit On the one hand, it will be a very low-maintenance and easy to assemble / disassemble system Device and on the other hand a very compact device created.

Vorzugsweise ist jeder Trommel des Trommellaufs ein separates Antriebsmittel zugeordnet, das zusammen mit der Trommeleinheit jeweils eine unabhängige Antriebseinheit bildet. Dadurch wird in besonders wirtschaftlicher Weise eine langlebige und wartungsarme Vorrichtung vorgeschlagen. Durch den Direktantrieb sämtlicher Trommeln wird weiterhin eine erhebliche Lärmreduzierung erreicht. Auch vereinfacht sich die Reinigung sowie die Einstellung und Ausrichtung der Trommel durch manuelle Drehbarkeit. Auch ermöglicht der Direktantrieb sämtlicher Trommeln in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise eine gezielte Teilungsveränderung der Trommeln.Preferably, each drum of the drum barrel is a separate drive means assigned, which together with the drum unit each have an independent Drive unit forms. This is a particularly economical way durable and low maintenance device proposed. By the direct drive all drums continue to be a significant noise reduction achieved.

Im folgenden wird anhand der Figur 4 beispielhaft ein einzelnes Antriebsmittel 19 beschrieben:

  • Das Antriebsmittel 19 ist aus üblichen Elementen, wie z.B. einem Rotor 20, einem Stator 21 sowie einem Drehgeber 22 gebildet. Die Elemente 20 bis 22 des Antriebsmittels 19 sind innerhalb eines Gehäuses 23 angeordnet, das einen im wesentlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt aufweist. Der Drehgeber 22 und der Stator 21 sind fest aber lösbar am Gehäuse 23 befestigt. Der Rotor 20 ist auf einer Welle 24 angeordnet. Die Welle 24 ist die gemeinsame Welle für das Antriebsmittel 19 und eine aus Lager- und Steuerflansch 25 und Trommel 17 gebildeten Trommeleinheit 27. Mit anderen Worten ist die Welle 24 eine kombinierte Antriebs- und Trommelwelle. Die Welle 24 ist innerhalb des hohlen, nämlich rohrförmig ausgebildeten Lager- und
  • Steuerflansches 25 gelagert, und zwar mittels üblicher Kugellager 28, 29. Andere Lagertypen sind ebenfalls einsetzbar.
    • In the following, a single drive means 19 will be described by way of example with reference to FIG.
  • The drive means 19 is formed of conventional elements, such as a rotor 20, a stator 21 and a rotary encoder 22. The elements 20 to 22 of the drive means 19 are arranged within a housing 23 which has a substantially rectangular cross-section. The rotary encoder 22 and the stator 21 are fixed but releasably secured to the housing 23. The rotor 20 is arranged on a shaft 24. The shaft 24 is the common shaft for the drive means 19 and a drum unit 27 formed of bearing and control flange 25 and drum 17. In other words, the shaft 24 is a combined drive and drum shaft. The shaft 24 is within the hollow, namely tubular bearing and
  • Control flange 25 mounted, by means of conventional ball bearings 28, 29. Other types of bearings are also used.

    • Die beiden Kugellager 28, 29 sind an den beiden entgegengesetzten freien Enden 30, 31 des Lager- und Steuerflansches 25 angeordnet. Der Welle 24 ist am freien Ende 31 eine Aufnahme 40 für die Trommel 17 zugeordnet. Die Aufnahme 40 kann einstückig mit der Welle 24 oder auch als separates Element lösbar an der Welle 24 befestigt sein. An dem dem Antriebsmittel 19 zugewandten freien Ende 30 des Lager- und Steuerflansches 25 ragt die Welle 24 aus dem Lager- und Steuerflansch 25 und erstreckt sich in das Antriebsmittel 19. Der Rotor 20 ist im Bereich des fliegend gelagerten Endes 32 der Welle 24 angeordnet. Das Gehäuse 23 ist an dem Lager- und Steuerflansch 25 lösbar befestigt, so daß das Antriebsmittel 19 und die Trommeleinheit 27 eine gemeinsame Antriebseinheit 33 bilden. Die Antriebseinheit 33 ist lösbar an einer Trennwand 34 der Vorrichtung 10 befestigt, wobei der Lager- und Steuerflansch 25 auf der Vorderseite 35 der Vorrichtung 10 und das Antriebsmittel 19 auf der Rückseite 36 positioniert ist. Die Trennwand 34 weist hierzu eine Öffnung 37 auf. Die Öffnung 37 ist vorzugsweise als Bohrung ausgebildet, wobei der Durchmesser der Bohrung geringfügig größer ist als die äußeren Abmessungen des Antriebsmittels 19 bzw. des Gehäuses 23. Mit anderen Worten ist die gesamte Antriebseinheit 33 von der Vorderseite 35 montierbar und demontierbar, indem Befestigungsschrauben 38 gelöst und die Antriebseinheit 33 insgesamt abnehmbar ist.The two ball bearings 28, 29 are at the two opposite free ends 30, 31st the bearing and control flange 25 is arranged. The shaft 24 is at the free end 31 a Recording 40 associated with the drum 17. The receptacle 40 may be integral with the shaft 24 or as a separate element releasably secured to the shaft 24. At the drive means 19 facing the free end 30 of the bearing and control flange 25 protrudes the shaft 24 from the bearing and control flange 25 and extends into the Drive means 19. The rotor 20 is in the region of the cantilevered end 32 of the Shaft 24 arranged. The housing 23 is detachable on the bearing and control flange 25 fastened so that the drive means 19 and the drum unit 27 has a common Drive unit 33 form. The drive unit 33 is detachably connected to a partition 34 of the Attached device 10, wherein the bearing and control flange 25 on the front side 35th the device 10 and the drive means 19 is positioned on the back 36.

Aus diesem Grunde ist die Welle 24 derart steif ausgebildet, daß der auf dem Ende 32 befindliche Rotor 20 nicht an den Stator 21 schlägt. Der Drehgeber 22 ist am Gehäuse 23 hinter dem Ende 32 der Welle 24 angeordnet, so daß ein Austausch des Drehgebers 22 auf einfache Weise ohne das Zerlegen des Antriebsmittels 19 erfolgen kann. Durch die steife Welle 24 einerseits und den Verzicht auf Kupplungen andererseits wird eine maximale Drehsteifigkeit erreicht, was wiederum zu einer besonders hohen Regelgüte und damit zu hoher Funktions- und Prozeßsicherheit führt.The common shaft 24 of drive means 19 and drum unit 27 is in the range the bearing and control flange 25 mounted twice and on the back 36 of the Device 10, so extended into the machine interior, without the extended End 32 of the shaft 24 is stored again.

The rotary encoder 22 is on the housing 23 behind the end 32 of the shaft 24th arranged so that an exchange of the encoder 22 in a simple manner without the Disassembly of the drive means 19 can take place. By the rigid shaft 24 on the one hand and the absence of couplings on the other hand a maximum torsional rigidity is achieved which in turn leads to a particularly high quality of control and thus to high functional and Process security leads.

    Sämtliche Antriebsmittel 19 sind an eine gemeinsamen Steuerung zur synchronen Betätigung angeschlossen. Die Steuerung weist einen integrierten Singletum-Absolutwertgeber auf, wodurch die Position von Rotor 20 und Trommel 17 stets bestimmbar ist.All drive means 19 are connected to a common control for synchronous Operation connected. The controller has an integrated single-ended absolute encoder on, whereby the position of the rotor 20 and drum 17 always is determinable.
