Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring rod-shaped articles, in particular cigarettes, from a longitudinal conveyor for longitudinal axial promotion of the article on a transverse conveyor for Queraxialen promotion of the article, the transport directions of the longitudinal conveyor and the transverse conveyor transverse to each other, comprising a conveyor with receptacles for receiving a plurality Article from the longitudinal conveyor and for the delivery of the recorded articles on the cross conveyor.
  • the invention relates to a method for transferring rod-shaped articles, in particular cigarettes, from a longitudinal conveyor for longitudinal axial promotion of the article on a cross conveyor for Queraxialen promotion of the article, wherein the transport directions of the longitudinal conveyor and the transverse conveyor transverse to each other, comprising the steps of: receiving a plurality rod-shaped article from the longitudinal conveyor by means of a conveyor, rotating the conveyor and thus moving the articles by a predetermined angle, and delivering the articles to the cross conveyor.
  • the longitudinal conveyor in the region of both tracks, which run parallel to each other and each serve to convey a double strand, each associated with a release agent for pairwise separation of the articles of the double strands. This facilitates the pairwise removal of the articles from the longitudinal conveyor.
  • Another embodiment is characterized by a cross conveyor comprising two separate transfer drums forming the webs, each transfer drum being operatively connected to one of the drums.
  • one of the drums of the conveyor below the web and the other drum is arranged above the web and the distance A between the two separating means in the transport direction of the longitudinal conveyor is equal to the distance B between the two center axes of the drums in the transport direction of the longitudinal conveyor and equal to the distance C between the two transfer drums transversely to the transport direction of the cross conveyor.
  • FIG. 1 shows the basic principle of the invention.
  • the device 10 comprises a conveying means 11, which is formed from two separate drums 12 and 13.
  • the recordings are attached to movable arms also in a conventional manner and movable, such that the recordings, for example, are connected to suction for holding the article, at least during transport from recording to dispensing parallel to a horizontal plane, in the the articles are promoted.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the device 10, in which the conveying means 11 with two double strands 17, 18, each consisting of two individual strands 19, 20; 21, 22 are formed, is supplied.
  • Each double strand 17, 18 is guided on a separate web 23, 24, wherein the webs 23, 24 may be arranged in one plane or on different planes.
  • the webs 23, 24 form the longitudinal conveyor 25 and extend parallel to each other and each have a separating means 26, 27 for separating single or multiple tobacco sticks 28 from the strands 19 to 22.
  • Each separating means 26, 27 serves to separate two tobacco sticks 28 on a web 23 or 24 simultaneously.
  • the embodiment of Figure 3 is similar to the embodiment shown in Figure 2 is formed so that the same reference numerals are used for the same parts.
  • the transfer drums 15, 16 are driven in opposite directions, while the drums 12, 13 are driven synchronously.
  • the rotation angle of the drums 12, 13 are formed differently, namely for the drum 12, a rotation angle of 90 ° is provided between recording and delivery, while the rotation angle between recording and delivery of the drum 13 is 270 °.
  • the two transfer drums 15, 16 are located between the drums 12, 13 so that the distance C between the transfer drums 15, 16 is smaller than the distances A and B, which correspond.
  • the distances A, B and C vary in of the embodiment of Figure 3 in size of the distances A, B and C in the embodiment of Figure 2.
  • the tobacco sticks 28 are received on different sides (upper side and lower side) of the longitudinal conveyor 25.
  • the drum 12 removes the pair of articles from the underside of the web 23, while the drum 13 decreases the article pair from the top of the web 24.
  • the counter-rotating drums 12, 13 rotate both at an angle of 90 ° and then give the article pairs to the likewise counter-rotating takeover drums 15, 16, which then convey the article pairs in parallel in the transport direction 34 transaxially.
  • the method with the device 10 according to FIG. 5 essentially corresponds to the method with the embodiment described in connection with FIG. However, the drums 12, 13 rotate in opposite directions by a different angle.
  • the drum 12 rotates with the tobacco rods 28 by 90 °.
  • the drum 13 rotates with the tobacco rods 28 by 270 °.
