Deshalb ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art insoweit zu verbessern, als dass dem vorstehend erwähnten Problem besser Rechnung getragen wird.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device and to improve a method of the type mentioned in the beginning, better than the above-mentioned problem will be carried.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß einem ersten Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung zur im Wesentlichen gleichzeitigen Herstellung von mindestens zwei Fasersträngen der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere von Tabaksträngen zur Zigarettenherstellung, mit einer Schneideeinrichtung zum Schneiden der Faserstränge und einer Führungseinrichtung zur gleichzeitigen Führung der Faserstränge in einem Abstand voneinander zur Schneideeinrichtung, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Führungseinrichtung so ausgebildet ist, dass während der Bewegung der Faserstränge in Richtung auf die Schneideeinrichtung der Abstand zwischen diesen auf einen vorbestimmten Minimalwert vor der Schneideeinrichtung reduziert wird.This object is according to a first aspect of the present Invention solved by a device for substantially simultaneous production of at least two fiber strands of the Tobacco processing industry, in particular of tobacco strands for Cigarette manufacturing, with a cutting device for cutting the Fiber strands and a guide device for simultaneous guidance the fiber strands at a distance from each other Cutting device, characterized in that the Guide device is designed so that during movement the fiber strands towards the cutting device the distance between them to a predetermined minimum value before Cutting device is reduced.

Ferner wird die vorstehend genannte Aufgabe gemäß einem zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung gelöst durch ein Verfahren zur im Wesentlichen gleichzeitigen Herstellung von mindestens zwei Fasersträngen der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere von Tabaksträngen zur Zigarettenherstellung, bei welchem die Faserstränge in einem Abstand voneinander gleichzeitig zu einer Schneideeinrichtung geführt und in der Schneideeinrichtung geschnitten werden, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Faserstränge in Richtung auf die Schneideeinrichtung so geführt werden, dass der Abstand zwischen diesen auf einen vorbestimmten Minimalwert vor der Schneideeinrichtung reduziert wird.Furthermore, the above object is according to a second Aspect of the invention solved by a method for substantially simultaneous production of at least two fiber strands of the Tobacco processing industry, in particular of tobacco strands for Cigarette manufacturing, in which the fiber strands at a distance simultaneously guided to a cutting device and in the Cutting device to be cut, characterized in that the fiber strands are guided in the direction of the cutting device so be that the distance between these to a predetermined Minimum value is reduced before the cutting device.

Mit Hilfe der Erfindung lässt sich somit eine enge Zusammenlegung der Faserstränge im Schneidbereich realisieren. Dadurch lassen sich die mit zunehmender Stranggeschwindigkeit beim Zerteilen der Stränge in der Schneideeinrichtung auftretenden Probleme hinsichtlich Schneidqualität, Materialermüdung bestimmter Maschinenteile und Geräuschentwicklung verringern oder sogar gänzlich beseitigen.With the help of the invention can thus be a close amalgamation of Realize fiber strands in the cutting area. This can be with the increasing strand speed when dividing the strands in the Cutting device encountered problems in terms of cutting quality, Material fatigue of certain machine parts and noise reduce or even eliminate it altogether.

Vorzugsweise bleibt der Abstand zwischen den Fasersträngen nach Erreichen des vorbestimmten Minimalwertes konstant, so dass die Faserstränge in einem konstanten Minimalabstand die Schneideeinrichtung durchlaufen.Preferably, the distance between the fiber strands remains behind Reaching the predetermined minimum value constant, so that the Fiber strands in a constant minimum distance the Go through the cutting device.

Gewöhnlich weist die Führungseinrichtung mehrere Förderstrecken, von denen jeweils eine Förderstrecke einem Faserstrang zugeordnet ist, und Fördermittel zum Transport der Faserstränge entlang der voneinander beabstandeten Förderstrecken zur Schneideeinrichtung auf, wobei der Abstand zwischen den Förderstrecken, entlang derer die Faserstränge laufen, in Richtung auf die Schneideeinrichtung auf den vorbestimmten Minimalwert vor der Schneideeinrichtung abnimmt.Usually, the guide device has multiple conveyor lines, from each of which a conveyor line is associated with a fiber strand, and Conveying means for transporting the fiber strands along the one another spaced conveyor lines to the cutting device, wherein the Distance between the conveyor lines, along which the fiber strands run, towards the cutting device to the predetermined Minimum value decreases in front of the cutting device.

Wenn die Führungseinrichtung eine, formbildende Einrichtung aufweist, sollte vorzugsweise die formbildende Einrichtung so ausgebildet sein, dass während der Bewegung der Faserstränge in Richtung auf die Schneideeinrichtung der Abstand zwischen diesen auf den vorbestimmten Minimalwert vor der Schneideeinrichtung reduziert wird. Bei dieser Ausführung findet also demnach die Strangabstandsreduzierung innerhalb der formbildenden Einrichtung, die gewöhnlich auch als Format bezeichnet wird, statt. Zweckmäßigerweise weist die formbildende Einrichtung mehrere umlaufende Formatbänder auf, von denen jeweils ein Formatband einer Förderstrecke zugeordnet ist, so dass der Abstand zwischen diesen Formatbändern in Richtung auf die Schneideeinrichtung auf den vorbestimmten Minimalwert vor der Schneideeinrichtung abnimmt.If the guide device has a mold-forming device, Preferably, the mold-forming device should be designed that during the movement of the fiber strands towards the Cutting device the distance between these on the predetermined minimum value is reduced before the cutting device. Thus, in this embodiment, the Strand pitch reduction within the forming apparatus, the commonly referred to as format instead.

Gewöhnlich ist die formbildende Einrichtung zur Umhüllung der Faserstränge mit Umhüllungsmaterial vorgesehen. In einem solchen Fall sollte vorzugsweise die formbildende Einrichtung so ausgebildet sein, dass der Abstand zwischen den Fasersträngen von einem vorgegebenen Maximalwert, der mindestens der Breite des Umhüllungsmaterials entspricht, auf den vorbestimmten Minimalwert abnimmt, welcher kleiner als die Breite des Umhüllungsmaterials ist.Usually, the forming device for wrapping the Fiber strands provided with wrapping material. In such a case Preferably, the mold-forming device should be designed that the distance between the fiber strands of one predetermined maximum value of at least the width of Envelope material corresponds to the predetermined minimum value which is smaller than the width of the wrapping material.

Bei einer Weiterbildung der zuvor erwähnten Ausführungen bleibt der Abstand, in Bewegungsrichtung der Faserstränge betrachtet, hinter der formbildenden Einrichtung konstant, so dass die Faserstränge aus der formbildenden Einrichtung mit diesem konstanten Minimalabstand austreten.In a development of the aforementioned embodiments of the remains Distance, viewed in the direction of movement of the fiber strands, behind the Form-forming device constant, so that the fiber strands from the mold-forming device with this constant minimum distance escape.

Nachfolgend wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Figur 1
eine schematische Seitenansicht einer an sich bekannten Doppelstrangmaschine zur Herstellung von Zigaretten; und
Figur 2
eine schematische Draufsicht auf die Doppelstrangmaschine von Figur 1, wobei die in erfindungsgemäßer Weise ausgebildete Strangführung erkennbar ist.
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it:
FIG. 1
a schematic side view of a known double strand machine for the production of cigarettes; and
FIG. 2
a schematic plan view of the double-strand machine of Figure 1, wherein the trained in accordance with the invention strand guide is recognizable.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist eine Doppelstrangmaschine zur Herstellung von Zigaretten schematisch dargestellt. Gemäß den Figuren findet die Herstellung der Tabakstränge von rechts nach links in Richtung des in Figur 2 gezeigten Pfeils A statt, welcher zugleich die Transportrichtung der Tabakstränge angibt.In Figures 1 and 2 is a double-strand machine for production of cigarettes shown schematically. According to the figures, the Production of the tobacco strands from right to left in the direction of 2 arrow instead A, which at the same time the transport direction indicates the tobacco strands.

Der erste Schritt der Tabakstrangbildung findet mit in einem Gehäuse 1 mit Vakuum beaufschlagten umlaufenden Gewebebändern 2 statt, die gewöhnlich als Saugbänder ausgebildet sind und von einer nicht näher dargestellten Antriebseinrichtung angetrieben werden. Wie Figur 2 erkennen lässt, laufen die beiden Gewebebänder 2 parallel zueinander in einem gewählten Abstand, der von der Maximalbreite des anschließend aufgebrachten Umhüllungspapiers bestimmt wird. Die Gewebebändern 2 fördern Tabakfasern 3 durch formgebende Finger 4, die unter einem vorgegebenen Winkel ein wenig zueinander geneigt sind, wodurch sich ein unparalleler Stranglauf entlang zweier Förderstrecken I und II ergibt, deren Abstand sich mit zunehmender Entfernung von den Fingern 4 verringert.The first step of tobacco rod formation takes place in a housing 1 with vacuum acted circumferential fabric belts 2 instead, the are usually designed as suction belts and not closer are shown driven drive device. As Figure 2 can recognize, run the two fabric strips 2 parallel to each other at a selected distance that is equal to the maximum width of the subsequently applied wrapping paper is determined. The Tissue bands 2 promote tobacco fibers 3 by shaping fingers 4, which are inclined at a given angle a little bit to each other are, resulting in an unparallel strand run along two Conveying sections I and II results whose distance increases with increasing Distance from the fingers 4 reduced.

Direkt im Anschluss an die Finger 4 werden die Tabakstränge entlang ihrer Förderstrecke I, II mit Umhüllungspapier umhüllt, das als Streifen 5 von einer Rolle bzw. Bobine 5a abgezogen und den Tabaksträngen zugeführt wird. Die Umhüllung findet in einem formbildenden Maschinenteil 6, auch als Format bezeichnet, statt, und zwar mit Hilfe jeweils eines Formatgewebebandes 6a, wie Figur 1 erkennen lässt. Die beiden Formatgewebebänder 6a sind als entlang den Förderstrecken I und II umlaufende Förderbänder ausgebildet und werden von einer nicht dargestellten Antriebseinrichtung angetrieben. Wie Figur 1 schematisch ferner erkennen lässt, kommen die Umhüllungspapierstreifen 5 auf den Formatgewebebändern 6a zu liegen, während aus den Fingern 4 die Tabakstränge auf die Umhüllungspapierstreifen 5 abgegeben werden. Der bahnförmige Verlauf der Förderstrecken I, II ist im Format 6 so ausgebildet, dass im Verlauf der weiteren Bewegung die Umhüllungspapierstreifen 5 um den Tabakstrang gelegt werden. Immediately following the fingers 4, the tobacco strands are along their conveyor line I, II wrapped with wrapping paper, as a strip 5 deducted from a roll or bobbin 5a and the tobacco strands is supplied. The serving takes place in a form-forming Machine part 6, also called format, instead, with the help each of a format fabric tape 6a, as shown in Figure 1 reveals. The Both format fabric belts 6a are as along the conveyor lines I and II circulating conveyor belts are formed and not by one driven drive device shown. As Figure 1 schematically Further, the wrapping paper strips 5 come to the Format tissue tapes 6a to lie, while from the fingers 4 the Tobacco strands are delivered to the wrapping paper strips 5. The web-shaped course of the conveyor lines I, II is in the format 6 so trained that in the course of further movement the Wrapping paper strips 5 are placed around the tobacco rod.

Ferner ist im Format 6 eine Trocknungsstrecke 7 vorgesehen, die während des Durchlaufes zuvor auf die Umhüllungspapierstreifen 5 aufgebrachte Leimspuren zur Verklebung der um die Tabakstränge umgehüllten Umhüllungspapierstreifen 5 trocknet.Furthermore, a drying section 7 is provided in the format 6, the during the passage beforehand on the wrapping paper strips 5 applied glue traces for bonding around the tobacco strands wrapped wrapping paper strip 5 dries.

Demnach sind die Finger 4, die Formatgewebebänder 6a, die Trocknungsstrecke 7 und die Förderstrecken I, 11 Teile des Formates 6.Accordingly, the fingers 4, the format fabric tapes 6a, the Drying section 7 and the conveyor sections I, 11 parts of the format. 6

Während der Umhüllungs- und Trocknungsphase laufen beide Tabakstränge symmetrisch unparallel durch das Format 6, indem der Abstand zwischen den Förderstrecken I, II mit zunehmender Entfernung von den Fingern 4 abnimmt, wie Figur 2 erkennen lässt.Both are running during the wrapping and drying phase Tobacco strands symmetrically unparallel by the format 6, by the Distance between the conveyor lines I, II with increasing distance decreases from the fingers 4, as Figure 2 reveals.

Im Format 6 entstehen somit relativ stabile, mit Tabakfasern gefüllte Papierzylinder 8, die nach Austritt aus dem Format 6 und ausreichendem Abstand von diesem mit Hilfe von strangumschließenden, parallel angeordneten Führungen 9 in eine parallele Laufrichtung 10 gezwungen werden, wo sie unter konstantem Minimalabstand voneinander weiter transportiert werden. Dabei ist der Minimalabstand kleiner als der von der Maximalbreite des Umhüllungspapiers bestimmte Abstand im Bereich der Finger 4. Unter diesem konstanten Minimalabstand durchlaufen die mit Tabakfasern gefüllten Papierzylinder 8 zunächst eine Prüfeinrichtung 11 und dann eine Schneideeinrichtung 12, in der sie zur Bildung von Einzelzigaretten in gleich lange Teilstücke geschnitten werden, bevor sie zu einer nachfolgenden Verarbeitungseinrichtung 14 weitertransportiert werden.In format 6, therefore, relatively stable, filled with tobacco fibers arise Paper cylinder 8, which after leaving the format 6 and sufficient distance from this with the help of strand umschließenden, parallel guides 9 in a parallel running direction 10 are forced, where they are under constant Minimum distance from each other to be transported. It is the Minimum distance smaller than that of the maximum width of the Wrapping paper certain distance in the area of fingers 4. Sub This constant minimum distance to go through with tobacco fibers filled paper cylinder 8, first a test device 11 and then a cutting device 12 in which they are used to form individual cigarettes cut into equal lengths before they become one subsequent processing device 14 are transported.

Durch die enge Zusammenlegung beider Stränge lässt sich die Schneideeinrichtung 12 besonders effektiv nutzen, und zwar auch bei verhältnismäßig hoher Stranggeschwindigkeit, ohne dass die Schneidqualität leidet.The close merging of both strands allows the Use cutting device 12 particularly effective, even at relatively high strand speed, without the Cutting quality suffers.
