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 conveying of the articles on a transverse conveyor for Queraxialen promotion of the articles, 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.
  • Such devices and methods are used in particular in the tobacco processing industry.
  • a cigarette rod maker strands are made of tobacco, which are usually cut into single or double-length tobacco stems.
  • the tobacco sticks are conveyed in their longitudinal direction and must be transferred to a Filteransetzmaschine for further processing, eg for applying a filter.
  • the tobacco sticks usually have to be transferred from their longitudinal axial transport direction in a transverse axial transport direction, wherein the transport directions are also transverse to each other.
  • a device having the features mentioned in the fact that the conveying means for receiving more than two articles, which are all fed side by side on a web of the longitudinal conveyor, and for dispensing a plurality of article groups is formed on different tracks of the cross conveyor ,
  • the performance of the device is increased in a surprisingly simple and particularly effective manner, since a plurality of articles can be picked up at the same time and at a common pickup position and released again at different times and at different dispensing positions.
  • the device according to the invention allows a very flexible processing, since the delivery to different webs ensures the simultaneous processing of different items.
  • an article group can be conveyed to a downstream filter attachment machine, while with the same device another article group can be conveyed to a packaging unit.
  • the conveyor comprises a single drum with a plurality of receptacles for simultaneously receiving a plurality of articles from the longitudinal conveyor, wherein in particular, each recording is designed for the simultaneous recording of four articles and for delivering the articles in two groups of two.
  • each recording is designed for the simultaneous recording of four articles and for delivering the articles in two groups of two.
  • both takeover drums of the transverse conveyor or their axes of rotation are arranged above the path of the longitudinal conveyor, resulting in an advantageous operating height. Furthermore, the lifting of the article from the longitudinal conveyor from above is technically / constructively simpler and safer than a shot from below or from the side.
  • the object is achieved by a method with the steps mentioned above in that a plurality of juxtaposed articles, which are all fed on a web of the longitudinal conveyor, are received, and the articles are delivered in groups to several separate tracks of the cross conveyor. This process ensures efficient handover in a compact and flexible manner.
  • the device shown serves to transfer articles from a longitudinal conveyor of a cigarette rod machine to a cross conveyor.
  • the device 10 comprises a conveying means 11, which is also referred to as a spider, wherein the spider has a drum 12.
  • the drum 12 has a plurality of receptacles 13 in the usual form.
  • Each of the receptacles 13 is designed for simultaneously receiving four articles 17 which are conveyed longitudinally along a path 14 of a longitudinal conveyor 15 in the transport direction (arrow 16).
  • the web 14 is a planar web in the illustrated embodiment. However, it can also be used in other forms, e.g. be formed as a curved or stepped / offset path.
  • the receptacles 13 each have four trough elements 18, which are designed to receive and hold the article 17 during transport.
  • the trough elements 18 are for this purpose e.g.
  • trough elements 18 are arranged parallel to one another and uniformly spaced from each other on an arm 19, which in turn is preferably releasably attached to a rotary body 20.
  • Several of the rotary bodies 20 with the corresponding arms 19 and arranged on the arms 19 receptacles 13 are distributed uniformly over the circumference of the drum 12.
  • the rotational axes 21 of the rotary bodies 20 extend parallel but offset from the axis of rotation 22 of the drum 12.
  • the axes of rotation 21 extend eccentrically to the respective rotary body 20, such that the rotary body 20 is an elliptical Describe trajectory.
  • the drum 12 and the longitudinal conveyor 15 are in the region of a receiving position 36 in operative connection with each other.
  • the rotary body 20 are movable relative to the drum 12, so that a superimposed movement of the rotary body 20 to the drum 12 is possible.
  • the receptacles 13 and the trough elements 18 are held with the "adhering" articles 17 at least during transport from receiving to dispensing parallel to a horizontal plane.
  • a transverse conveyor 23 for removing the article 17 from the drum 12 is arranged, wherein the transport direction (arrow 24) of the transverse conveyor 23 transversely to the transport direction (arrow 16) of the longitudinal conveyor 15 extends.
  • the cross conveyor 23 comprises two transfer drums 25, 26, which form the tracks 27, 28 for the removal of the article 17. Both Takeover drums 25, 26 are in operative connection with the drum 12, in the region of a discharge position 37 and 38. To take over the article 17 of the drum 12, the transfer drum 25 has receptacles 29, 30. Several recordings 29, 30 are uniform distributed over the circumference, with fixed receptacles 29 and movable receptacles 30 are arranged alternately. The movable receptacles 30 are assigned to pivot levers 31 for this purpose. In each case a fixed receptacle 29 and a movable receptacle 30 form a unit for receiving an article group.
  • the transfer drum 26 has only movable receptacles 30, which are also distributed over the circumference.
  • the receptacles 30 are in turn arranged on pivot levers 31, wherein the length of the pivot lever 31 on the transfer drum 26 and thus the pivoting area thereof is greater than in the transfer drum 25.
  • the axes of rotation 21 of the rotary body 20 and the axis of rotation 22 of the drum 12 extend transversely to the transport direction (arrow 16) of the longitudinal conveyor 15 and in the transport direction (arrow 24) of the transverse conveyor 23.
  • Both transfer drums 25, 26 and their axes of rotation 32, 33 are above the Track 14 of the longitudinal conveyor 15.
  • the rotation axes 32, 33 are aligned with each other and extend transversely to the axis of rotation 12 of the drum 12 and in the transport direction (arrow 16) of the longitudinal conveyor 15.
  • the takeover drums 25, 26 are driven in opposite directions or driven in the embodiment shown ,
  • the transfer drums 25, 26 are arranged with respect to the drum 12, that a first discharge position 37 after a rotation angle of the drum 12 of 90 ° and a second discharge position 38 after a rotation angle of the drum 12 of another 180 °, ie 270 ° of the Recording position 36 of Article 17 is formed.
  • the longitudinal conveyor 15 is assigned a separating element 34 in the transport direction (arrow 16) in front of the conveyor 11.
  • the separator 34 serves to sever the articles 17 of strands 35 made in an upstream machine.
  • three or more than four well elements 18 may be arranged on a receptacle 13. It is also possible to vary the number of rotation elements 20 and thus the arms 19 and the receptacles 13.
  • the transfer drums 25, 26 may also be arranged below the web 14.
