Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for discharging tobacco from a cache, 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, the output side of the buffer by means of at least one sensor device, the dissolved subset is detected and, depending on the detected subset, the supply of the subset is metered to the tobacco mass flow.
  • 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 subset of the tobacco from the cache is leachable and the dissolved subset is fed to a tobacco mass flow, the output side of the cache at least one sensor device is provided for detecting the detached subset, wherein the supply of the subset to the tobacco mass flow can be metered as a function of the detected subset.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • GB-A-2 286 464 a measuring device for bending a quantity of tobacco, wherein a coarse metering device and a fine metering device are provided.
  • the weighing system is adapted to receive tobacco from both metering devices.
  • 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 liberated subset is fed to a tobacco mass flow, the output side the subset is detected by means of at least one sensor device, the dissolved subset and depending on the detected subset, the supply of the subset to the tobacco mass flow is metered or adjusted, which is further developed by the fact that the discharge of zuzhouörderte Tabakgutmenge is detected by a sensor device in the buffer and depending the conveyed amount of tobacco material, the conveying speed of the tobacco is regulated.
  • the buffer is a fine dosage of the amount 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.
  • the conveying profile or a conveying cross-section of the subset is detected on exiting from the detached subset from the intermediate store.
  • the adjustment and the dosage of the predetermined amount of tobacco material are consequently possible. Overall, this achieves a fine dosing of the detached subset.
  • the conveying speed of a transport device for the subset is regulated.
  • 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.
  • the subset is removed from the buffer by means of an arithmetic unit as discharge device.
  • 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.
  • the detached subset is detected by means of a belt weigher.
  • 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 cache is leachable and the dissolved subset is fed to a tobacco mass flow, the output side at least one sensor device for detecting the detached subset is provided in the buffer store, wherein the subset of the tobacco mass flow can be metered as a function of the detected subset, which is further developed in that the subset can be released by means of an arithmetic unit as discharge device, wherein the amount of tobacco material conveyed to the discharge device can be detected in the buffer by means of a sensor device.
  • an arithmetic unit is designed as a discharge device.
  • a sensor device is provided in the intermediate store for detecting the amount of tobacco material to be conveyed to the discharge device.
  • the conveying speed of the tobacco product can be regulated as a function of the conveyed amount of tobacco material.
  • 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.
  • the output device on the buffer memory sensor device is formed by means of a belt weigher.
  • a buffer 10 is shown in cross-section.
  • 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.
  • tobacco is liberated from the tobacco product 15 and as Subset 25 thrown onto a lower conveyor belt 22.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the sensor 16 is connected to a drive 14 for the conveyor roller 13.
  • a subset 25 is dissolved and thrown onto the conveyor belt 22.
  • a sensor 26 is arranged, by means of which the conveyed tobacco product portion quantity is detected.
  • 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.
  • a fine dosage of the dissolved subset 25 is achieved to a tobacco mass flow.
  • the subset 25 is dropped into a hopper 28 for delivery to the tobacco mass flow.
  • 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.
