Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Austragen von Tabakgut aus einem Zwischenspeicher, wobei das Tabakgut im Zwischenspeicher zu einer Austragseinrichtung gefördert wird, mittels der Austragseinrichtung eine Teilmenge des Tabakguts aus dem Zwischenspeicher herausgelöst wird und nachfolgend die herausgelöste Teilmenge einem Tabakmassenstrom zugeführt wird. Darüber hinaus betrifft die Erfindung eine Einrichtung zum Austragen von Tabakgut aus einem Zwischenspeicher, wobei das Tabakgut im Zwischenspeicher zu einer Austragseinrichtung förderbar ist, mittels der Austragseinrichtung eine Teilmenge des Tabakguts aus dem Zwischenspeicher herauslösbar ist und die herausgelöste Teilmenge einem Tabakmassenstrom zuführbar ist.The invention relates to a method for discharging tobacco material from a buffer, wherein the tobacco is conveyed in the buffer to a discharge, by means of the discharge a portion of the tobacco is removed from the cache and subsequently the liberated subset is fed to a tobacco mass flow. Moreover, the invention relates to a device for discharging tobacco material from a buffer, wherein the tobacco is conveyed in the buffer to a discharge, by means of the discharge a portion of the tobacco from the cache is leachable and the dissolved subset of a tobacco mass flow can be supplied.

Im Stand der Technik sind sogenannte Beschicker bekannt, mittels denen Teilmengen von speziell behandeltem Tabak einem Hauptmassenstrom entsprechend den Anforderungen an Tabak beigegeben wird. Bei pneumatischen Beschickern wird ein Tabakmassenstrom einer Öffnung zugeführt, von der aus Tabakgut abgesaugt und beispielsweise einer Zigarettenstrangmaschine zugeführt wird.So-called feeders are known in the prior art, by means of which subsets of specially treated tobacco are added to a main mass flow in accordance with the requirements of tobacco becomes. In pneumatic feeders, a tobacco mass flow is fed to an opening, from which suction is sucked out of tobacco material and, for example, fed to a cigarette rod machine.

Zu den so genannten Beschickungsboxen wird Tabak in Behältern transportiert. Die Behälter werden durch entsprechende Vorrichtungen im Zwischenspeicher entleert, wobei der Zwischenspeicher typischer Weise als so genannte Zusetzer ausgebildet sind. Diese Zusetzer bestehen in der Regel aus einem Zwischenspeicher in Kombination mit einem mit Profilen besetzten und ansteigendem Förderband, wodurch eine Teilmenge aus dem Tabakgut im Zwischenspeicher herausgelöst wird und einem Tabakmassenstrom zugefördert wird. Dadurch, dass das Förderband mit einer gewissen Neigung aufwärts fördern muss, fällt das Tabakgut bei Hochförderung zurück, so dass das Tabakgut im Zwischenspeicher mechanisch beansprucht wird und beschädigt wird. Außerdem entsteht durch diesen Vorgang unerwünschter Staub.Tobacco is transported in containers to the so-called feed boxes. The containers are emptied by appropriate devices in the buffer, the buffer are typically designed as a so-called Zusetzer. These Zusetzer usually consist of a buffer in combination with a busy with profiles and rising conveyor belt, whereby a subset of the tobacco material is dissolved out in the buffer and a tobacco mass flow is conveyed. Due to the fact that the conveyor belt has to convey upwards with a certain inclination, the tobacco material falls back during high production, so that the tobacco product is mechanically stressed in the buffer and is damaged. In addition, this process creates unwanted dust.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, das Herauslösen von Tabak aus einem Zwischenspeicher zu verbessern, wobei der bauliche Aufwand möglichst gering gehalten werden soll.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to improve the leaching of tobacco from a cache, the construction cost should be kept as low as possible.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst mittels eines Verfahrens zum Austragen von Tabakgut aus einem Zwischenspeicher, wobei das Tabakgut im Zwischenspeicher zu einer Austragseinrichtung gefördert wird, mittels der Austragseinrichtung eine Teilmenge des Tabakguts aus dem Zwischenspeicher herausgelöst wird und nachfolgend die herausgelöste Teilmenge einem Tabakmassenstrom zugeführt wird, das dadurch weitergebildet wird, dass ausgangsseitig des Zwischenspeichers mittels wenigstens einer Sensoreinrichtung die herausgelöste Teilmenge erfasst wird und in Abhängigkeit der erfassten Teilmenge die Zuführung der Teilmenge zum Tabakmassenstrom dosiert bzw. eingestellt wird.The object is achieved by means of a method for discharging tobacco material from a buffer, wherein the tobacco is conveyed in the buffer to a discharge, by means of the discharge a portion of the tobacco is removed from the cache and subsequently the leached subset is fed to a tobacco mass flow, thereby is further developed that the output side of the buffer by means of at least one sensor device, the extracted subset is detected and in dependence of the detected Subset the supply of the subset is metered or adjusted to the tobacco mass flow.

Durch die exakte Ermittlung der herausgelösten Teilmengen aus dem Zwischenspeicher wird eine Feindosierung der beizugebenden Teilmenge zum Hauptmassenstrom möglich bzw. gezielt beeinflusst. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Tabakgut und die herausgelöste Teilmenge in horizontalen Ebenen gefördert werden, so dass wenig oder gar kein Staub beim Herauslösen der Tabakteilmenge entsteht. Mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Sensoreinrichtung wird das Förderprofil bzw. ein Förderquerschnitt der Teilmenge beim Austritt aus der herausgelösten Teilmenge aus dem Zwischenspeicher erfasst.Due to the exact determination of the dissolved subsets from the buffer a fine dosing of the subset to be added to the main mass flow possible or specifically influenced. This has the advantage that the tobacco material and the dissolved subset are conveyed in horizontal planes, so that little or no dust is formed when the tobacco component is dissolved out. By means of the sensor device according to the invention, the conveying profile or a conveying cross-section of the subset is detected on exiting from the detached subset from the intermediate store.

Hierzu ist es vorteilhaft, wenn in Abhängigkeit der erfassten Teilmenge die Fördergeschwindigkeit einer Transporteinrichtung für die Teilmenge geregelt wird. Durch die Einstellung einer Fördergeschwindigkeit eines Transportbands wird stets die erforderliche Menge an Tabakgut für den Tabakmassenstrom bereitgestellt. Insgesamt entstehen dadurch weniger Schwankungen der Zusammensetzungen von Tabakmischungen im Tabakmassenstrom.For this purpose, it is advantageous if, depending on the detected subset, the conveying speed of a transport device for the subset is regulated. By setting a conveying speed of a conveyor belt, the required amount of tobacco material for the tobacco mass flow is always provided. Overall, this results in fewer variations in the compositions of tobacco mixtures in the tobacco mass flow.

Insbesondere wird die Teilmenge mittels eines Rechenwerks als Austragseinrichtung aus dem Zwischenspeicher herausgelöst.In particular, the subset is removed from the buffer by means of an arithmetic unit as discharge device.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung wird die der Austragseinrichtung zugeförderte Tabakgutmenge mittels einer Sensoreinrichtung im Zwischenspeicher erfasst.According to an advantageous development, the amount of tobacco material conveyed to the discharge device is detected in the buffer by means of a sensor device.

Ferner ist vorteilhafter Weise vorgesehen, dass in Abhängigkeit der geförderten Tabakgutmenge die Fördergeschwindigkeit des Tabakguts geregelt wird. Mittels der Sensoreinrichtung im Zwischenspeicher sind folglich die Einstellung und die Dosierung der vorbestimmten Tabakgutmenge möglich. Insgesamt wird dadurch eine Feindosierung der herausgelösten Teilmenge erreicht.Furthermore, it is advantageously provided that the conveying speed of the tobacco product is regulated as a function of the conveyed amount of tobacco material. By means of the sensor device in the intermediate memory, consequently, the setting and the dosage of the predetermined Tobacco product quantity possible. Overall, this achieves a fine dosing of the detached subset.

Außerdem ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die herausgelöste Teilmenge quer, insbesondere senkrecht, zur Förderrichtung des Tabakguts gefördert wird, so dass an der Transporteinrichtung für die Teilmenge über die gesamte Breite des Zwischenspeichers die herausgelöste Teilmenge aufgenommen wird.Moreover, it is advantageous if the detached subset is conveyed transversely, in particular vertically, to the conveying direction of the tobacco product, so that the removed subset is received at the transport device for the subset over the entire width of the intermediate store.

Um eine massenstromabhängige Dosierung der Teilmenge zu erreichen, wird vorgeschlagen, dass die herausgelöste Teilmenge mittels einer Bandwaage erfasst wird.In order to achieve a mass flow-dependent metering of the subset, it is proposed that the detached subset is detected by means of a belt weigher.

Ferner wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch eine Einrichtung zum Austragen von Tabakgut aus einem Zwischenspeicher, wobei das Tabakgut im Zwischenspeicher zu einer Austragseinrichtung förderbar ist, mittels der Austragseinrichtung eine Teilmenge des Tabakguts aus dem Zwischenspeicher herauslösbar ist und die herausgelöste Teilmenge einem Tabakmassenstrom zuführbar ist, die dadurch weitergebildet wird, dass ausgangsseitig des Zwischenspeichers wenigstens eine Sensoreinrichtung zur Erfassung der herausgelösten Teilmenge vorgesehen ist, wobei in Abhängigkeit der erfassten Teilmenge die Zuführung der Teilmenge zum Tabakmassenstrom dosierbar ist.Furthermore, the object is achieved by a device for discharging tobacco material from a buffer, wherein the tobacco is conveyed in the buffer to a discharge, by means of the discharge a portion of the tobacco from the buffer is leachable and the dissolved subset of a tobacco mass flow can be supplied, thereby is further developed, that on the output side of the buffer at least one sensor device for detecting the detached subset is provided, wherein the supply of the subset to the tobacco mass flow can be metered depending on the detected subset.

Weiterhin ist es günstig, wenn eine Transporteinrichtung für die herausgelöste Teilmenge vorgesehen ist, wobei die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Tansporteinrichtung in Abhängigkeit der erfassten Teilmenge regelbar ist.Furthermore, it is favorable if a transport device is provided for the detached subset, wherein the conveying speed of the tan transport device can be regulated as a function of the detected subset.

Insbesondere ist ein Rechenwerk als Austragseinrichtung ausgebildet.In particular, an arithmetic unit is designed as a discharge device.

Bevorzugter Weise ist im Zwischenspeicher eine Sensoreinrichtung zur Erfassung der der Austragseinrichtung zugeförderten Tabakgutmenge vorgesehen.Preferably, a sensor device is provided in the intermediate store for detecting the amount of tobacco material to be conveyed to the discharge device.

Insbesondere ist die Fördergeschwindigkeit des Tabakguts in Abhängigkeit der geförderten Tabakgutmenge regelbar.In particular, the conveying speed of the tobacco product can be regulated as a function of the conveyed amount of tobacco material.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Einrichtung ist eine Transporteinrichtung, insbesondere Förderband, für die herausgelöste Teilmenge quer, insbesondere senkrecht, zur Förderrichtung des Tabakguts vorgesehen.In a preferred refinement of the device, a transport device, in particular a conveyor belt, is provided transversely, in particular vertically, to the conveying direction of the tobacco product for the detached subset.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die am Zwischenspeicher ausgangsseitige Sensoreinrichtung mittels einer Bandwaage ausgebildet.According to a further embodiment, the output device on the buffer memory sensor device is formed by means of a belt weigher.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend und ohne Beschränkung des allgemeinen Erfindungsgedankens anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung exemplarisch beschrieben, wobei bezüglich aller im Text nicht näher erläuterten erfindungsgemäßen Einzelheiten auf die Zeichnung ausdrücklich verwiesen wird. Es zeigt:

Fig. 1
schematisch einen Querschnitt durch einen Zwischenspeicher.
The invention will be described below by way of example and without limitation of the general inventive idea with reference to the accompanying drawings, reference being made expressly with respect to all in the text unspecified details of the invention on the drawing. It shows:
Fig. 1
schematically a cross section through a buffer.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Zwischenspeicher 10 im Querschnitt dargestellt. Im Zwischenspeicher 10 ist ein horizontales Förderband 12 vorgesehen, auf dem Tabakgut 15 angeordnet ist. Das Förderband 12 fördert das Tabakgut 15 in Richtung eines mit zwei Schlägerwalzen versehenen Rechenwerks 18. Mittels des Rechenwerks 18 als Austragseinrichtung wird Tabak vom Tabakgut 15 herausgelöst und als Teilmenge 25 auf ein unteres Förderband 22 geworfen.In Fig. 1, a buffer 10 is shown in cross section. In the buffer 10, a horizontal conveyor belt 12 is provided, is arranged on the tobacco material 15. The conveyor belt 12 conveys the tobacco material 15 in the direction of an arithmetic unit 18 provided with two racket rollers. By means of the arithmetic unit 18 as discharge device tobacco is liberated from the tobacco product 15 and as Subset 25 thrown onto a lower conveyor belt 22.

Das Förderband 12 und das Förderband 22 fördern in verschiedenen horizontalen Ebenen das Tabakgut 15 bzw. die herausgelöste Teilmenge 25 des Tabakguts 15. Die Förderrichtungen der Förderbänder 12, 22 sind senkrecht zueinander angeordnet.The conveyor belt 12 and the conveyor belt 22 convey the tobacco material 15 or the detached subset 25 of the tobacco product 15 in different horizontal planes. The conveying directions of the conveyor belts 12, 22 are arranged perpendicular to one another.

Oberhalb des Tabakguts 15 ist im Zwischenspeicher 10 ein Sensor 16 angeordnet, mittels dem die Menge an Tabakgut 15, die zum Rechenwerk 18 gefördert wird, erfasst wird. Hierdurch wird das Förderprofil des Tabakguts 15 auf dem Transportband 12 erfasst. Wird festgestellt, dass zu wenig Tabakgut 15 zum Rechenwerk 18 gefördert wird, wird die Transportgeschwindigkeit des Förderbands 12 erhöht. Hierzu ist der Sensor 16 mit einem Antrieb 14 für die Förderrolle 13 verbunden.Above the tobacco material 15, a sensor 16 is arranged in the buffer 10, by means of which the amount of tobacco material 15, which is conveyed to the arithmetic unit 18, is detected. As a result, the conveying profile of the tobacco product 15 is detected on the conveyor belt 12. If it is determined that too little tobacco material 15 is conveyed to the calculating unit 18, the transport speed of the conveyor belt 12 is increased. For this purpose, the sensor 16 is connected to a drive 14 for the conveyor roller 13.

Aus dem Tabakgut 15 im Zwischenspeicher 10 wird eine Teilmenge 25 herausgelöst und auf das Förderband 22 geworfen. Oberhalb des Förderbands 22 bzw. der Teilmenge 25 ist ein Sensor 26 angeordnet, mittels dem die herausgeförderte Tabakgutteilmenge erfasst wird. In Abhängigkeit der erfassten Teilmenge 25 auf dem Förderband 22 wird die Transportgeschwindigkeit des Förderbands 22 über einen Antrieb 24 geregelt, um die Zufuhr der Teilmenge 25 zu einem Tabakmassenstrom zu beeinflussen bzw. zu dosieren oder zu regeln. In Folge der doppelten Erfassung der Teilgutmenge bzw. des Tabakguts 15 wird eine feine Dosierung der herausgelösten Teilmenge 25 zu einem Tabakmassenstrom erreicht. Anschließend wird die Teilmenge 25 in einen Trichter 28 zur Zuführung zum Tabakmassenstrom abgeworfen.From the tobacco material 15 in the buffer 10, a subset 25 is dissolved and thrown onto the conveyor belt 22. Above the conveyor belt 22 or the subset 25, a sensor 26 is arranged, by means of which the conveyed tobacco product portion quantity is detected. Depending on the detected subset 25 on the conveyor belt 22, the transport speed of the conveyor belt 22 is controlled by a drive 24 to influence the supply of the subset 25 to a tobacco mass flow or to meter or regulate. As a result of the double detection of the amount of material or the tobacco good 15 a fine dosage of the dissolved subset 25 is achieved to a tobacco mass flow. Subsequently, the subset 25 is dropped into a hopper 28 for delivery to the tobacco mass flow.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann anstelle des zweiten Förderbands 22 auch eine Bandwaage eingesetzt werden, so dass eine massenstromabhängige Dosierung der herausgelösten Teilmenge zum Tabakmassenstrom ebenfalls ermöglicht wird.In an alternative embodiment, instead of the second conveyor belt 22 and a belt weigher may be used, so that a mass flow-dependent dosage of the dissolved subset to the tobacco mass flow is also possible.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführung ist die Regelung des Förderbandes 12 des Zwischenspeichers 10 auch über die die ausgetragene Tabakmenge überwachende Sensoreinrichtung 26 des zweiten Transportbandes 22 möglich.According to a further embodiment, the regulation of the conveyor belt 12 of the intermediate storage device 10 is also possible via the sensor device 26 of the second transport belt 22 monitoring the discharged tobacco quantity.
