Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for compacting tobacco, ribs or like, comprising lateral support members substantially parallel and spaced apart from each other, wherein between the support elements two Compression elements to form a receiving space for a tobacco, ribs or the like formed tobacco cake or the like between the Support elements and the compression elements are arranged, wherein the Compression elements are mounted on the support elements.
  • Such devices are particularly used in the tobacco processing industry for use.
  • the devices for compressing or compacting tobacco, Ribs or the like for forming a so-called tobacco cake are part a tobacco cutter separating tobacco from the tobacco cake in portions.
  • the Device introduces the tobacco cake by driving the compression elements in Direction of the tobacco cutter, wherein the compressed tobacco cake in the range of Handed mouthpiece of the device for compacting the tobacco cutter becomes.
  • a device of the type mentioned characterized that at least one compression element exclusively on one side of a support element is stored. Due to the one-sided storage of the or each compression element is the Device especially for cleaning and / or maintenance purposes easily accessible. With the one-sided storage is at least one lateral support element, in particular, a side wall, accessible, whereby an exchange a compression element is facilitated and simplified.
  • the compaction element is an endless conveyor, e.g. a belt conveyor, his can. An opening point in the area of the conveyor or the belt, the one potential weak point is thus unnecessary.
  • At least one of the compression elements preferably the upper compression element, formed linearly movable.
  • This will be a variable Mouthpiece height achieved.
  • the inventive arrangement or training of Device is the mobility of at least the upper compression element ensured, without the slots or other guide openings or The like in the lateral support elements, in particular the side walls required are. The leakage of tobacco, ribs or the like from the Recording space through the side walls is thus effectively prevented.
  • the compression elements are stored on opposite sides. This means that one of the Compression elements on a first side wall and the other compression element is mounted on a second side wall opposite the first side wall. This allows a particularly easy access to the compression elements, because only one of the lateral support elements or one of the side walls accessible have to be.
  • the side walls are formed such that the receiving space to the Side walls completely closed in any position of the compression elements is.
  • the escape of tobacco, ribs or other components is effective prevents, which in particular the cleaning effort is reduced. Furthermore Not inconsiderable losses of material can be avoided.
  • the device described below is used for compressing, in particular pre-compression of tobacco, ribs or other particles for formation a tobacco cake, as used in particular in a tobacco cutter comes.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferably mobile device 10 which essentially consists of a support or support frame 11 is formed on a base element 12th is arranged.
  • the support frame 11 is made of two stationary, on the base member 12th attached side support members, which are formed as side walls 13 and 14, educated.
  • the vertically extending side walls 13 and 14 are parallel and with a distance from each other.
  • Between the fixed side walls 13, 14 is a another lateral support element, which is designed as a side wall 15, arranged.
  • the Side wall 15 is movably arranged on the side wall 13. This is between the stationary side wall 13 and the movable, variable side wall 15 is a linear guide 16 provided by means of the side wall 15 linear relative to the side wall 13, but at the same time also up to the side wall 14 and is moved away.
  • the linear guide 16 is composed of a guide rail 17 and preferably two on the Guide rail 17 slidingly mounted Fühnungs vomn 18 or the like formed.
  • the guide rail 17 is on the side wall 13 on the movable side wall 15 facing side attached.
  • the guide shoes 18 are on the movable side wall 15 arranged on the side wall 13 facing side.
  • Of course are all other guides that allow or allow a linear movement, usable.
  • each Compression element 19, 20 is supported in each case only on one side, wherein the support or attachment points of the compression elements 19, 20 preferably on each other are arranged opposite sides.
  • the upper compression element 19 is on the movable side wall 15 is fixed while the lower compression element 20 is attached to the stationary side wall 14. In other words, those are Compression elements 19, 20 each flying on one of the side walls 15 and 14th arranged.
  • the upper compression element 19 is for up and down movement with the Side wall 15 connected, with its own lifting drive because of the coupling a movable part of the main compressor (not shown) can be dispensed with can.
  • the compressible force that can be applied by the upper compression element 19 the tobacco is solely by the weight of the compression element 19 and der Unit of compression element 19 and side wall 15 reachable.
  • the compression elements 19 and 20 are in the embodiment shown as endless and circumferentially drivable transport or conveyor belts formed. Also Chains, rollers or other common transport or funding are as Compression elements 19, 20 can be used.
  • the preferred conveyor belts are used wrapped around two axes 21, 22 and 23, 24, of which one each Drive roller and the other carries a guide roller.
  • the axes 21 to 24 can also be designed as a drive or deflecting element. All axes 21 to 24 are at their two opposite ends in the usual form with plain bearings 29 in Not shown in detail support elements or the like stored.
  • Each drive axle or drive roller is assigned a separate drive 25, 26.
  • the drive 25 is associated with the lower conveyor belt and serves to rotate the corresponding drive axle or the drive roller, wherein the direction of rotation variable is.
  • the drive 26 is associated with the upper conveyor belt and serves to rotate the corresponding drive axle or drive roller.
  • the linear movement of Side wall 15 and thus the upper conveyor belt down is alone through Gravity realized, so free of additional drives.
  • the upward movement of the Side wall 15 and thus of the upper conveyor belt in the linear direction is determined by the to be compressed tobacco or the upward movement of a movable part of the Main compressor, to which the side wall 15 is coupled realized.
  • the conveyor belts no separate, own drives assigned. Rather, the conveyor belts are by drive elements of others Driven machine parts, wherein at least one drive element with the side wall 15 must be formed movable up and down.
  • the side wall 15 is shorter than the side walls 13, 14, thus, that the side wall 15 in the maximum upward position (see Figure 1) has a distance A to the base member 12.
  • the side wall 15 is so long formed so that they themselves in the said uppermost position on the lower Compression element 20 protrudes so that a through the side walls 14, 15 and the Compression elements 19, 20 (upper band and lower band) formed receiving space 27th to the side walls 14, 15 and the conveyor belts is completely closed.
  • the Device 10 in FIG. 1 is a supercharger that does not close the tobacco in one transported running main compressor.
  • the upper one Conveyor linearly movable (see arrow 28), and that continuously from the described and uppermost position shown to a lowermost position, either by a stop of the linear guide 16 or by the stop of the side wall 15 on Base element 12 is defined.
  • the linear movement of the upper Compression element 19 results in a vertical, immutable in position Discharge height.
  • the linear movement of the compression element 19 takes place exclusively by the up and down movement of the side wall 15.
  • Das Compression element 19 has relative to the side wall 15 no relative movement on.
  • the structural conditions also be reversed such that e.g. the movable side wall 15 on the side wall 14th is arranged, in which case the linear guide 16 between the side walls 15 and 14 is arranged.
  • two movable side walls be, each arranged on a linear guide on a fixed side wall 13, 14 are.
  • At least one of the fixed side walls 13, 14 may also be movable on the Base element 12 may be arranged, for example in a guide rail.
  • Others too usual configurations, for example the alternative or cumulative mobility the lower compression element 20 are possible.
  • the entire device 10 is modular and as a mobile device flexible use. Also a fixed installation as a single element or as part of a complete production system is possible.
