Definitions

  • the invention relates to a channel cheek for a channel for guiding a strand of the tobacco processing industry, a strand conveyor, in particular a strand conveyor of a cigarette rod machine, with such a channel cheek, and a multi-strand machine with at least two strand conveyors each having a channel for guiding a strand of the tobacco processing industry with a such channel cheek.
  • a strand of the tobacco-processing industry is understood to mean in particular a fiber strand, preferably cut tobacco.
  • Such channel cheeks are known from the prior art. For example, shows the EP 1169926 A1 the Applicant such a channel cheek. Such channel cheeks are used essentially to line the fiber strand leading channel, also called tobacco channel, in particular to define its width. As a strand conveyor is in modern cigarette rod machines usually the Untertrumm one of his Used back with negative pressure applied suction belt, so that this type of rope conveyor are also referred to as Saugstrangdecide.
  • the Saugstrangrawer which are usually performed with the help of channel cheeks in the tobacco channel, serve in a cigarette rod machine together with the channel cheeks, the tobacco, which is supplied in the form of a shower to the bottom of the strand guide channel forming Saugstranguteer in a strand formation zone and from this - if necessary by an excess removal device, the so-called trimmer, through - in the form of a strand.
  • the trimmer is usually provided with a device for introducing a head reinforcement in the fiber strand.
  • a device for introducing a head reinforcement in the fiber strand For example, shows the EP 1275311 A1 the Applicant such a generally disc-shaped trimmer.
  • the trimmer takes up a certain space in the tobacco channel. To provide this space, the tobacco channel downstream of the trimmer often has laterally receding channel cheeks.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the channel cheeks and strand conveyors known from the prior art.
  • the invention includes the knowledge that all directly or indirectly in contact with the fiber strand parts, including the channel cheeks mentioned above, the course and behavior of the fiber strand significantly influence. In particular immediately downstream of the trimmer discs, in the region of which the channel cheeks often recede laterally, the channel cheeks have the task of gently centering the fiber strand again to its desired shape.
  • the channel cheeks in particular have to recirculate the head reinforcement introduced by the trimmer discs into the fiber strand gently from the larger width of the tobacco channel in the region of the trimmer discs into the narrower width of the channel downstream of the trimmer.
  • the channel cheek was provided with an edge in the aforementioned prior art. This edge usually defines an upper, closer to the suction conveyor section narrower channel width, and a lower, closer to the underside of the channel cheek section of the channel cheek with greater width. In the prior art, this edge is not parallel to the suction conveyor belt. However, according to the present invention, the edge for the first time runs substantially parallel to the suction conveyor belt.
  • embodiments of the channel cheeks according to the invention have the particular advantage that unwanted widening of the tobacco fleece of the strand in the region of the edge is avoided.
  • the channel has a conveying direction, and the lower portion at least along part of its extension in the conveying direction and viewed from the receptacle relative to the upper portion returns.
  • the recessed part can thus better absorb the head reinforcement having part of the fiber strand.
  • Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention are characterized in that the lower portion along different parts of its extension in the conveying direction relative to the upper portion of different strength, preferably decreasing, more preferably linear decreasing, springs back. In this way, the head reinforcement or the tobacco mat in the region of the head reinforcement can be collected very gently and directed into the desired path.
  • the lower portion extends along different parts of its extension in the conveying direction from the receptacle different, preferably increasingly, more preferably linearly increasing, in the channel.
  • the channel cheek according to the invention is particularly preferably used in multi-strand machines for the simultaneous production of at least two strands of the tobacco-processing industry, in which at least two strand conveyors are provided according to claim 11, wherein the respective channels for guiding the respective strand of each of the strand conveyors at least in the region of the respective edge in their conveying planes are spaced from each other.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a single-stranded cigarette rod making machine 50, i. a stranding machine for processing tobacco fibers into a tobacco fiber strand for the production of cigarettes.
  • the cigarette rod making machine 50 serves as an exemplary embodiment of a machine in which a first embodiment of the channel cheek according to the invention, as described below in particular with reference to FIG. 2, can be used. Likewise, however, alternative embodiments not shown embodiments of the channel cheek invention can be used in a double-strand machine.
  • the operation of the cigarette rod maker 50 is as follows:
  • a pre-distributor 2 is charged in portions with tobacco.
  • a removal roller 3 of the pre-distributor 2 added controlled a reservoir 4 with tobacco, from which a steep conveyor 5 takes tobacco and fed a stowage 6 controlled.
  • From the storage shaft 6 takes a pin roller 7 a uniform stream of tobacco, which is knocked out by a rollover roller 8 of the pins of the pin roller 7 and thrown on a circulating at a constant speed spreading cloth 9.
  • a tobacco fleece formed on the spreading cloth 9 is thrown into a sighting device 11, which consists essentially of an air curtain, the larger or heavier tobacco particles pass, while all other tobacco particles from the air in a funnel formed by a pin roller 12 and a wall 13 14th be steered.
  • the tobacco is thrown into a strand guide channel 16 against a strand conveyor 17, where the tobacco held by means sucked into a vacuum chamber 18 air and a tobacco rod is aufauert.
  • a strand conveyor 17 is, for example, on the DE 4215059 and the DE 19733443 A1 referred to the applicant.
  • the cigarette paper strip 21 is withdrawn from a reel 22, passed through a printing unit 23 and placed on a driven format tape 24.
  • the format strip 24 transports the tobacco rod and the cigarette paper strip 21 through a format 26, in which the cigarette paper strip 21 is folded around the tobacco rod, so that still protrudes an edge which is glued in a known manner by a Glimapparat, not shown.
  • a thus formed cigarette rod 28 passes through a strand density meter 29, which controls the device 19, and is cut by a knife apparatus 31 into double-length cigarettes 32.
  • the double-length cigarettes 32 are transferred from a transfer device 34 having a controlled arm 33 to a transfer drum 36 of a filter attachment machine 37, onto the cutting drum 38 of which they are divided into single cigarettes with a circular blade.
  • Conveyor belts 39, 41 promote excess tobacco in a arranged under the reservoir 4 container 42, from which the recycled tobacco is removed from the vertical conveyor 5 again.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a channel cheek 60 according to the invention in an embodiment which is used for a suction strand conveyor 17 of the cigarette rod making machine 50 shown in FIG. 1.
  • the illustrated channel cheek 60 has a surface 62 which faces a second, in the conveying direction parallel, not shown channel cheek of the channel 16 of the Saugstrangizaers 17 of the cigarette rod machine 50 for forming the channel 16.
  • a projection 64 On the surface 62 in the form of a projection 64, a receptacle for receiving the associated strand conveyor 17 is formed.
  • an edge 66 is provided, which defines along a portion 68 of the channel cheek 60, an upper portion closer to the projection 64 and a lower portion 72 further away from the projection 64.
  • the lower portion 72 starting at the point 74, as viewed from the projection 64, jumps back along the portion 68 of the channel cheek 60 opposite the upper portion 70. This springback decreases in the conveying direction from the point 74 starting linearly until the lower portion 72 merges continuously at a transition 76 in the surface 62 of the channel cheek 60, which surface 62 also forms the surface of the upper portion 70.
  • the lower portion 72 extends from the projection 64 as well as different far into the tobacco channel. Only at point 74, the lower portion 72 stands out from the underside of the upper portion 70 forming surface 78 and then extends linearly increasingly into the tobacco channel, so that in the area 68 and the bottom of the channel cheek 60 forming bottom 80 of the lower Section 72 at a transition 82, which corresponds to the transition 76, steadily merges into the bottom 84 of the channel cheek 60.
  • the trimming device 19 (not shown in FIG. 2) is located.
  • the channel cheek 60 has a recess 86 in the region T.
  • the trimming device 19 is arranged in the region T in such a way relative to the channel cheek 60, that the head reinforcement for the fiber strand below the edge 66 at the Surface 62 of the channel cheek 70 slides past, while the remaining tobacco fleece of the fiber strand above so in particular along the upper portion 70 by means of the extending along the projection 64 suction belt 17 is promoted.
  • FIG. 3 shows the channel cheek 60 of FIG. 2 in a side view. Parts corresponding to those of Figures 1 or 2 are designated by the same reference numerals.
  • embodiment of the channel cheek 60 finds this in a two-line machine, not shown for the simultaneous production of two strands of the tobacco processing industry, in particular of two tobacco rods for cigarette production, use, in which machine two-strand conveyor 17 in the manner described above are provided, wherein the channels 16 are spaced to guide the respective strand of the respective strand conveyor 17 at least in the region of the respective edge 66 in their conveying planes to each other.
