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 cross conveyor for Queraxialen promotion of the article comprising a conveyor for receiving the articles from the longitudinal conveyor and for delivering the articles to the cross conveyor, said Conveying means for rotating the article by a predetermined angle and for reducing the transport speed of the article is formed. Furthermore, 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.
  • strands are made of tobacco, which are usually cut into tobacco sticks with single or preferably double cigarette length.
  • the tobacco sticks are conveyed in their longitudinal direction and have to be transported or further processed, e.g. for attaching a filter, be passed to a filter attachment machine.
  • the tobacco sticks usually have to be transferred from their longitudinal axial transport direction in a transverse axial transport direction.
  • Various devices and methods for transferring rod-shaped articles from a longitudinal conveyor to a cross conveyor are known. From the US-A-3825105 a device for handling axially moving rod-shaped articles is known.
  • the device comprises a guide element for guiding the articles fed in succession as well as an acceleration means.
  • the acceleration means serves to convey the articles in the direction of a conveyor drum, by means of which the articles transversely to their Longitudinal extension be carried away. In the region of the conveyor drum of this is assigned a means for braking the article, so that the articles are gently introduced into recordings of the conveyor drum.
  • Other known devices have a conveying means, which is designed for receiving the article from the longitudinal conveyor on the one hand.
  • the conveying means is designed such that the main function of the device, namely the braking of the articles, takes place during a rotation of the conveying element by 90 °.

  • the articles are taken at strand speed from the longitudinal conveyor, wherein the axial strand speed is completely reduced before the articles are delivered radially accelerated to the downstream cross conveyor.
  • This braking or acceleration process is known to be performed during the transport path of the articles on the conveyor of 90 °, which leads to a significant burden of the high (positive and negative) accelerations of the article.

  • transport elements are arranged, which cooperate with a closed conveyor system, wherein the closed conveyor system has a path with different radii.
  • Receiving heads for the cigarettes as part of the transport elements of the intermediate conveyor follow the closed conveyor system, namely the conveyor track. Thereby, a speed change is achieved so that the cigarettes are picked up at a first speed, rotated during transport, and delivered at a second speed that is less than the first speed.
  • this intermediate conveyor is very complex in design and, on the other hand, the articles to be transported, in particular also the cigarettes, are subjected to forces in their axial direction during deceleration or acceleration since the rotation of the cigarettes and the braking of the cigarettes are superimposed Movement take place, so that the cigarettes are loaded in their axial direction.
