Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Rollen von stabförmigen Rauchartikelkomponenten, insbesondere Tabakstock-Filterstock-Tabakstock-Gruppen, mit einem eine Rollfläche aufweisenden Rollförderer und einer zugeordneten Gegenrollfläche, die zum Umrollen der Rauchartikelkomponenten einen Rollkanal bilden und relativ zueinander bewegbar sind, und einem am Einlass des Rolikanals angeordneten drehbaren Stegrad mit am Umfang des Stegrads unbeweglichen Stegen. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Verwendung eines Stegrads in einer derartigen Einrichtung.The invention relates to a device for rolling rod-shaped smoking article components, in particular tobacco rod filter stick tobacco rod groups, having a rolling surface having a roller conveyor and an associated counter rolling surface, which form a rolling channel for rewinding the smoking article components and are relatively movable, and one at the inlet of the Rolikanals arranged rotatable web wheel with immovable webs on the circumference of the web wheel. Furthermore, the invention relates to a use of a web wheel in such a device.

Vorrichtungen zum Rollen von stabförmigen Gegenständen sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. So zeigt beispielsweise DE 37 02 915 C2 (entspricht US 4,825,882) eine Vorrichtung, die zum Herumwickeln von beleimten Verbindungsblättchen um die Stoßstellen von aus stabförmigen Tabakartikeln und Filterstopfen oder Mundstücken gebildeten Gruppen dient. Bel dieser Vorrichtung ist ein eine Rollfläche aufweisender Rollförderer und eine zugeordnete ortsfeste Gegenrollfläche vorgesehen, wobei Rollfläche und Gegenrollfläche zum Umrollen der Gruppen mit den Verbindungsblättchen einen Rollkanal bilden und relativ zueinander bewegbar sind. Bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung sind der ortsfesten Gegenrollfläche vor dem Einlauf der Gruppen in den Rollkanal bewegte Stege zugeordnet, welche Stege unter relbschlüsslgem Erfassen der Gruppen der Bewegungsrichtung der Rollfläche des Rollförderers mit geringerer Geschwindigkeit folgen. Dadurch erhalten die Artikel eine negative Beschleunigung, so dass sie berelts vor ihrem Eintritt in den Rollkanal In Rollung versetzt werden. Diese Vorbeschleunigung führt zu einer Reduzierung der auf die Gegenstände beim Eintritt in den Rollkanal wirkenden negativen Beschleunigung und damit zu größerer Schonung der zu rollenden stabförmigen Gegenstände.Devices for rolling rod-shaped objects are known from the prior art. For example, DE 37 02 915 C2 (corresponding to US Pat. No. 4,825,882) shows a device which serves for wrapping glued connection leaflets around the joints of groups formed from rod-shaped tobacco articles and filter plugs or mouthpieces. Bel this device is a rolling conveyor having a rolling surface and an associated fixed counter rolling surface, rolling surface and counter rolling surface for reeling the groups with the connecting blades form a rolling channel and are movable relative to each other. In this known device the stationary counter rolling surface are associated with moving webs in the rolling channel prior to the entry of the groups, which webs follow at relatively low speed under relative detection of the groups of the direction of movement of the rolling surface of the rolling conveyor. This gives the articles a negative acceleration, so that they are relaunched before they enter the rolling channel. This pre-acceleration leads to a reduction of the negative acceleration acting on the objects when entering the rolling channel and thus to greater protection of the rod-shaped objects to be rolled.

Eine weitere Vorrichtung zum Rollen von stabförmigen Gegenständen ist aus EP 0 687 424 B1 (entspricht US 5,577,518) bekannt. In dieser Druckschrift ist eine Vorrichtung offenbart, bei der umlaufende, In ihrer Geschwindigkeit gesteuerte Teilrollflächen mit jeweils einer Startleiste versehen sind, die mit einer ortsfesten Rollfläche ohne Startleiste zusammenwirken. Bel dieser Vorrichtung wird durch Nachführen der gesteuerten Teilrollflächen mit den zu rollenden Gegenständen noch vor dem Rollkanal versucht, die oben erwähnten nachteiligen Effekte zu vermeiden. Trotz der Nachführung der Startlelsten ist auch hier eine kräftige Beschleunigung der stabförmigen Gegenstände vor dem Eintritt der stabförmigen Gegenstände in den Rollkanal erforderlich, Für die Nachführung der Startlelsten wird außerdem eine sehr komplizierte und aufwendige Mechanik benötigt.Another device for rolling rod-shaped objects is known from EP 0 687 424 B1 (corresponding to US Pat. No. 5,577,518). In this document, a device is disclosed in which rotating, controlled in their speed part rolling surfaces are each provided with a launch bar, which cooperate with a stationary rolling surface without start bar. Bel this device is trying by tracking the controlled part rolling surfaces with the objects to be rolled before the rolling channel to avoid the above-mentioned adverse effects. Despite the tracking of Startlelsten a strong acceleration of the rod-shaped objects before entering the rod-shaped objects in the rolling channel is also required here for the tracking of Startlelsten also a very complicated and expensive mechanism is needed.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik Ist es Aufgabe der vorllegenden Erfindung, die Einleitung des Rollvorgangs bei der Überführung der stabförmigen Artikel In den Rollkanal zu verbessern.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to improve the initiation of the rolling process during the transfer of the rod-shaped article into the rolling channel.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe wird bei einer Einrichtung zum Rollen von stabförmigen Rauchartikelkomponenten, insbesondere Tabakstock-Filterstock-Tabakstock-Gruppen, mit einem eine Rollfläche aufweisenden Rollförderer und einer zugeordneten Gegenrollfläche, die zum Umrollen der Rauchartikelkomponenten einen Rollkanal bilden und relativ zueinander bewegbar sind, und einem am Einlass des Rollkanals angeordneten drehbaren Stegrad mit am Umfang des Stegrads unbeweglichen Stegen vorgeschlagen, dass bezogen auf die Drehrichtung des Stegrads vor wenigstens einem Steg eine Vorrollfläche vorgesehen Ist, wobei zwischen der Vorrollfläche und der Rollfläche des Rollförderers ein Vorrollkanal als kanalartige Fortsetzung des Rollkanals beim Übergang der Rauchartikelkomponenten in den Rollkanal ausgeblldet ist.To achieve the object, in a device for rolling rod-shaped smoking article components, in particular tobacco rod filter stick tobacco rod groups, having a rolling surface having a roll conveyor and an associated counter-rolling surface, which form a rolling channel for rewinding the smoking article components and are movable relative to each other, and a arranged at the inlet of the rolling channel rotatable web wheel with immovable webs on the circumference of the web wheels proposed that based on the direction of rotation of the web wheel before at least one web Vorrollfläche is provided, wherein between the Vorrollfläche and the rolling surface of the roller conveyor a Vorrollkanal as a channel-like continuation of the rolling channel at the transition the smoking article components in the rolling channel is ausgeblldet.

Bel der Umrollung von Doppelzigaretten bzw. deren Komponenten werden diese zunächst von den Stegen eines sich drehenden Stegrads erfasst. Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Gedanken, dass die auf dem Stegrad fest angeordneten Stegen eine Vorrollfläche aufweisen, die so geformt Ist, dass sie Im Zusammenwirken mit dem Rollförderer, beispielsweise einer Rolltrommel, bzw. dessen Rollfläche einen Vorrollkanal mit im Wesentlichen gleich bleibendem Querschnitt bei der Abgabe der Rauchartlkelkomponenten in den Rollkanal bildet.Bel the Umrollung of double cigarettes or their components they are first detected by the webs of a rotating web wheel. The invention is based on the idea that the webs fixedly arranged on the web have a Vorrollfläche that is shaped so that they in cooperation with the roller conveyor, such as a roller drum, or its rolling surface a Vorrollkanal with substantially constant cross section in the Dispensing of Rauchartlkelkomponenten forms in the rolling channel.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterblldung ist vorgesehen, dass der radiale Abstand der beiden Enden der Vorrollfläche verschieden ist, so dass eine geneigte Vorrollfläche am Stegrad ausgebildet ist.According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the radial spacing of the two ends of the rolling surface is different, so that an inclined rolling surface is formed on the web wheel.

Wenn ferner der radiale Abstand der Vorrollflächen bezogen auf die Drehrichtung des Stegrads und dem Mittelpunkt bzw. der Drehachse ansteigt, wird dadurch erreicht, dass während des Vorrollens der Rauchartikelgruppen der Andruck auf die Rauchartikel im Vorrolikanal konstant bleibt.Furthermore, if the radial distance of the rolling surfaces increases with respect to the direction of rotation of the web wheel and the center or the axis of rotation, it is achieved that the pressure on the smoking articles remains constant in the Vorrolikanal during the Vorrollens smoking article groups.

Die Teilrollung der Rauchartikelgruppen im Vorrollkanal wird dadurch verbessert, dass die Vorrollfläche eine raue Oberfläche aufweist. Insbesondere ist die Vorrollfläche hierzu genutet.The partial rolling of the smoking article groups in the pre-rolling channel is improved by the fact that the pre-rolling surface has a rough surface. In particular, the Vorrollfläche is grooved for this purpose.

Ferner ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Gegenrollfläche als Oberfläche eines ortsfesten Rollklotzes ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, it is preferred if the counter rolling surface is formed as the surface of a stationary roller block.

Darüber hinaus ist es von Vorteil, wenn an der Gegenrollfläche am Einlass des Rollkanais eine Startleiste vorgesehen ist, so dass am Ende des gebildeten Vorrollkanals die Rauchartikelkomponenten durch die feststehende Leiste nochmals abgebremst und in den Rollkanal zwischen der Rolltrommel und Gegenrollfläche eingebracht werden.Moreover, it is advantageous if a starter bar is provided on the counter rolling surface at the inlet of the rolling channel, so that at the end of the formed pre-rolling channel the smoking article components are decelerated once more by the stationary strip and introduced into the rolling channel between the rolling drum and counter rolling surface.

Ferner wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch die Verwendung eines Stegrads mit am Umfang des Stegrads unbeweglichen Stegen in einer oben beschriebenen Einrichtung zum Rollen von stabförmigen Rauchartikelkomponenten, wobei das Stegrad dadurch weitergebildet ist, dass bezogen auf die Drehrichtung des Stegrads vor wenigstens einem Steg eine Vorrollfläche vorgesehen ist, wobel zwischen der Vorrollfläche und der Rollfläche des Rollförderers ein Vorrollkanal als kanalartige Fortsetzung des Rollkanals beim Übergang der Rauchartikelkomponenten in den Rollkanal ausgebildet ist. Zur Vermeidung von Wiederholungen wird auf die voranstehenden Ausführungen ausdrücklich verwiesen.Furthermore, the object is achieved by the use of a web wheel with immovable webs on the circumference of the web wheel in a device described above for rolling rod-shaped smoking article components, wherein the web wheel is further developed in that based on the direction of rotation of the web wheel before at least one web a Vorrollfläche is provided , between the Vorrollfläche and the rolling surface of the roller conveyor a Vorrollkanal is formed as a channel-like continuation of the rolling channel in the transition of the smoking article components in the rolling channel. To avoid repetition, reference is expressly made to the above statements.

Am Beginn des Rollkanals 11 ist am Rollklotz 9 eine Startleiste 8 vorgesehen.At a predetermined distance from the circumference of the rolling drum 2, a rigid, stationary roller block 9 is provided. One of the rolling drum 2 facing counter rolling surface 10 of the roller block 9 and the rolling surface 3 of the rolling drum 2 together form a Rolikanal 11. At the beginning of the rolling channel 11 is provided on the roller block 9 a launch bar 8.

Die Startleiste 8 weist der Rollfläche 3 der Rolltrommel 2 zugewandt zwei in einem Winkel zueinander angeordnete Flächen auf, die eine der Rollfläche 3 zugewandte Kante bilden. Die Startleiste 8 ist so ausgebildet, dass in Förderrichtung 1 der Rolltrommel 2 am Eingang des Rollkanals 11 eine Verjüngung des Rollkanals 11 und anschließend eine Erweiterung des Rollkanals 11 ausgebildet Ist.The launch bar 8, the rolling surface 3 of the rolling drum 2 facing two at an angle to each other arranged surfaces, which form one of the rolling surface 3 facing edge. The launch bar 8 is designed so that in the conveying direction 1 of the rolling drum 2 at the entrance the rolling channel 11 is a taper of the rolling channel 11 and then an extension of the rolling channel 11 is formed.

Bezogen auf die Förderrlchtung 1 der Rolltrommel 2 ist dem Rollklotz 9 im Elnlaufberelch des Rollkanals 11 ein Stegrad 12 zugeordnet. Das Stegrad 12 weist am Umfang zehn Stege 13 auf. Die Stege 13 sind radial auf dem Stegrad 12 angeordnet. Das Stegrad 12 wird in Pfeilrichtung 14 im Gegen-Uhrzeigersinn um eine Achse 15 angetrieben, so dass die Drehrichtungen des Stegrads 12 und der Rolltrommel 2 entgegengesetzt sind. Der Antrieb des Stegrads 12 Ist so ausgelegt, dass die Umlaufgeschwindigkeit der Stege 13 halb so groß ist, wie die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Rolltrommel 2. Die Stege 13 des Stegrads 12 überragen die Gegenrollfläche 10 des Rollklotzes 9 um ein geringes Maß in den Rollkanal 11.Relative to the Förderrlchtung 1 of the rolling drum 2 is the roller block 9 in Elnlaufberelch the rolling channel 11, a web wheel 12 assigned. The web wheel 12 has ten webs 13 on the circumference. The webs 13 are arranged radially on the web wheel 12. The web wheel 12 is driven in the direction of arrow 14 in the counterclockwise direction about an axis 15, so that the directions of rotation of the web wheel 12 and the roller drum 2 are opposite. The drive of the web wheel 12 is designed so that the rotational speed of the webs 13 is half as large as the peripheral speed of the rolling drum 2. The webs 13 of the web wheel 12 extend beyond the counter rolling surface 10 of the rolling block 9 by a small amount in the rolling channel 11th

Die Stege 13 sind von beiden Seiten mit Schrägen ausgebildet. Bezogen auf die Drehrichtung 14 des Stegrads 12 sind vor den Stegen 13 Vorrollflächen 16 mit einer angerauten . Oberfläche ausgebildet. Die Vorrollfläche 16 ist geneigt ausgebildet, so dass der radiale Abstand zur Drehachse 15 des Stegrads 12 in Drehrlchtung 14 des Stegrads 12 zunimmt.The webs 13 are formed from both sides with bevels. Based on the direction of rotation 14 of the web wheel 12 13 Vorrollflächen 16 are roughened in front of the webs. Surface formed. The Vorrollfläche 16 is formed inclined, so that the radial distance to the rotational axis 15 of the web wheel 12 in Drehrlchtung 14 of the web wheel 12 increases.

Am Beginn des Rollbereiches am Einlauf des Rollkanals 11 werden die Rauchartikelgruppen 6 aus Filterdoppelzigaretten an ihrem Umfang von den Stegen 13 des Stegrads 12 erfasst, so dass die Rauchartikelgruppen 6 fest auf das Verblndungsblättchen 5 gedrückt und bel einer welteren Drehung der Rolltrommel 2 in Folge der halben Umlaufgeschwindigkeit der Stege 13 gegenüber der Rollfläche 3 mit einer ersten Tellbeschleunigung aus ihrer Mulde 4 herausgerollt werden.At the beginning of the rolling area at the inlet of the rolling channel 11, the smoking article groups 6 are collected from Filterdoppelzigaretten at its periphery by the webs 13 of the web wheel 12, so that the smoking article groups 6 pressed firmly on the Verblndungsblättchen 5 and bel a welteren rotation of the rolling drum 2 in a row half Circulation speed of the webs 13 relative to the rolling surface 3 are rolled out of its trough 4 with a first Tell acceleration.

Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Umfangsgeschwindigkeiten der Rolltrommel 2 und des Stegrads 12 werden unmittelbar am Eingang des Rollkanals 11 und noch vor der Startleiste 8 die Rauchartikelgruppen 6 über die Schrägen der Stege 13 bewegt, so dass die Rauchartikelgruppen 6 die Vorrollfläche 16 berühren.Due to the different peripheral speeds of Rolling drum 2 and the web wheel 12 are moved immediately above the entrance of the rolling channel 11 and before the launch bar 8, the smoking article groups 6 on the slopes of the webs 13, so that the smoking article groups 6 touch the Vorrollfläche 16.

Beim Übergang der Rauchartikelgruppen 6 In den Rollkanal 11 bildet die Vorrollfläche 16 zusammen mit der Rollfläche 3 der Rolltrommel 2 einen Vorrollkanal vor der Startleiste 8 aus, der Im Wesentlichen den gleichen Durchmesser wie der Rollkanal 11 aufweist. Am Ende des durch die Drehung der Vorrollfläche 16 und der Rollfläche 3 kurzzeitig ausgebildeten Vorrollkanals vor der Startleiste 8 werden die Rauchartikelgruppen 6 durch die feststehende Startleiste 8 nochmals abgebremst und in den Rollkanal 11 zwischen der Rolltrommel 2 und dem Rollklotz 9 eingebracht.When the smoking article groups 6 enter the rolling channel 11, the rolling surface 16, together with the rolling surface 3 of the rolling drum 2, forms a pre-rolling channel in front of the launching bar 8, which has substantially the same diameter as the rolling channel 11. At the end of the Vorrollkanals briefly formed by the rotation of the Vorrollfläche 16 and the rolling surface 3 in front of the launch bar 8, the smoking article groups 6 are further braked by the fixed launch bar 8 and introduced into the rolling channel 11 between the roller drum 2 and the roller block 9.
