Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Herstellung von Filterstopfen, z.B. an einer Filteransetzmaschine, zu vereinfachen, wobei der bauliche Aufwand bei einem Wechsel der Filterstopfenlänge möglichst gering gehalten werden soll. Darüber hinaus ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Umrüstzeiten an einer Filteransetzmaschine bei einem Formatwechsel bzw. Markenwechsel zu verkürzen und zu vereinfachen.Starting from this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide the production of filter plugs, e.g. on a Filteransetzmaschine to simplify, the structural complexity to be kept as low as possible when changing the filter plug length. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to shorten the changeover times on a Filteransetzmaschine in a format change or brand change and simplify.
Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Filterstopfen aus Filterstäben mit einer vorbestimmten Filterstablänge gelöst, wobei die Filterstäbe aus einem Magazin entnommen werden, die Filterstäbe jeweils in n-fache (n = 2, 3, 4, ....) Filterstopfen für eine vorbestimmte Filterstopfenlänge mittels (n-1)-facher Schneideinrichtungen oder jeweils in k-fache (k = 2, 3, 4, ... ; k ≠ n) Filterstopfen für eine zweite vorbestimmte Filterstopfenlänge mittels (k-1)-facher Schneideinrichtungen geschnitten werden, bei einem Wechsel der zu schneidenden Filterstopfen von einer vorbestimmten Filterstopfenlänge zu einer anderen vorbestimmten Filterstopfenlänge die Anzahl der Schneideinrichtungen erhöht (k > n) oder verringert (k < n) wird, wobei die koaxial zueinander ausgerichteten Filterstopfen der jeweiligen Filterstäbe nach dem Schneiden in einem ersten Schritt derart gestaffelt werden, die längsaxial unmittelbar benachbarten Filterstopfen jeweils in einem konstanten Staffelungsabstand queraxial zueinander versetzt angeordnet werden, und in einem weiteren Schritt die Filterstopfen an eine Transfereinrichtung übergeben werden, so dass die Filterstopfen in einem vorbestimmten queraxialen Staffelungsabstand zu den queraxial benachbarten Filterstopfen versetzt zueinander angeordnet werden, und danach die versetzt gestaffelten Filterstopfen zu einer Reihe queraxial hintereinander geförderter Filterstopfen längsaxial verschoben werden, das dadurch weitergebildet wird, dass der vorbestimmte queraxiale Staffelungsabstand bei einer Erhöhung oder Erniedrigung der Anzahl der Schneideinrichtungen geändert wird. Dementsprechend wird auch eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von geschnittenen Filterstopfen erhalten.The object is achieved by a method for producing filter plug from filter rods with a predetermined filter rod length, wherein the filter rods are removed from a magazine, the filter rods each in n-times (n = 2, 3, 4, ....) filter plug for a predetermined filter plug length by means of (n-1) -fold cutters or in k-times (k = 2, 3, 4, ...; k ≠ n) filter plugs for a second predetermined filter plug length by means of (k-1) -fold cutters When changing the filter plug to be cut from a predetermined filter plug length to another predetermined filter plug length, the number of cutters is increased (k> n) or decreased (k <n) with the co-aligned filter plugs of the respective filter rods after cutting be staggered in a first step, the longitudinally axially immediately adjacent filter plug in each case in a constant St Affelungsabstand be arranged offset transversely to each other, and in a further step, the filter plugs are transferred to a transfer device, so that the filter plugs are offset from each other in a predetermined transverse axial staggering distance to the transversely adjacent filter plugs, and then the staggered staggered filter plug to a row queraxial successively conveyed filter plug are moved longitudinally axially, which is thereby developed, that the predetermined transverse axial stagger distance is changed with an increase or decrease in the number of cutters. Accordingly, a different number of cut filter plugs is obtained.
Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, dass bei einem Wechsel von Filterstopfenlängen, insbesondere bei Längenänderungen der Filterstopfen mit Wechsel einer Schnittaufteilung der zu schneidenden Filterstäbe, d.h. bei einer Änderung der Anzahl der Schneideinrichtungen, ein hoher Zeitaufwand besteht und damit ein langer Produktionsausfall bei der Herstellung von Filterzigaretten bzw. Filterstäben resultiert.The invention is based on the finding that when changing filter plug lengths, in particular with changes in length of the filter plug with change of a cut division of the filter rods to be cut, i. with a change in the number of cutting devices, there is a high expenditure of time and thus a long production loss results in the production of filter cigarettes or filter rods.
Durch eine geänderte, erfindungsgemäße Aufteilung der verschiedenen Prozessschritte und eine geänderte Zuordnung der erforderlichen Lage- und Geschwindigkeitsänderungen der geschnittenen Filterstopfen wird eine Reduzierung der Umrüstzeiten an einer Filteransetzmaschine oder Filterherstellungsmaschine erreicht.By changing the inventive division of the various process steps and a change in the assignment of the required changes in position and speed of the cut filter plugs, a reduction of the changeover times at a filter attachment machine or filter production machine is achieved.
Nach dem Schneiden der Filterstäbe werden die erhaltenen Filterstopfen in einem ersten Verfahrensschritt gestaffelt, wobei eine relative Staffelung zwischen zwei unmittelbar benachbarten Filterstopfen ausgeführt wird. Diese relative Staffelung von zwei unmittelbar längsaxial angrenzenden Filterstopfen wird mit einem konstanten Staffelungsabstand verwirklicht, so dass ein Filterstopfen queraxial zu seinem vorherigen Nachbarn versetzt und beabstandet angeordnet ist. Diese relative Staffelung um einen konstanten Abstand zwischen den Filterstopfennachbarn kann unter anderem auch dazu führen, dass bei einer entsprechenden Anzahl der geschnittenen Filterstopfen mehrere Filterstopfen in einer Aufnahmemulde eines Förderers anliegen, wobei die Filterstopfen relativ gesehen zu ihrem jeweiligen unmittelbar in längsaxialer Richtung angrenzenden Nachbarn gestaffelt sind.After cutting the filter rods, the filter plugs obtained are staggered in a first method step, whereby a relative staggering between two immediately adjacent filter plugs is carried out. This relative staggering of two immediately longitudinally axially adjacent filter plugs is realized with a constant stagger spacing such that a filter plug is offset and spaced transaxially of its previous neighbor. This relative staggering by a constant distance between the Filterstopfennachbarn may inter alia also cause that with a corresponding number of cut filter plug several filter plug in a receiving trough of a conveyor, wherein the filter plug relatively staggered to their respective neighbors immediately adjacent in the longitudinal axial direction.
Um gemäß der Erfindung eine weitere Staffelung der queraxial versetzten und gestaffelten Filterstopfen auszuführen, werden diese an eine Transfereinrichtung übergeben, wodurch die Filterstopfen nach der Transfereinrichtung in gestaffelter Weise derart vorliegen, dass ausschließlich ein Filterstopfen in einer Aufnahmemulde eines Förderorgans angeordnet ist. Hierzu werden die Filterstopfen in einem wählbaren oder vorbestimmten Abstand in der Transfereinrichtung in Förderrichtung bzw. in queraxialer Richtung zueinander versetzt gestaffelt. Liegen dabei nach der ersten Staffelung mehrere Filterstopfen in einer Aufnahme eines Förderers, so ist ein anderer queraxialer Staffelungsabstand auf der Transfereinrichtung zu wählen als bei schon im ersten Staffelungsschritt gestaffelten Filterstopfen, bei denen nur ein Filterstopfen jeweils in einer Aufnahme des Förderers jeweils angeordnet ist.In order to carry out a further staggering of the cross-axially staggered and staggered filter plugs according to the invention, these are transferred to a transfer device, whereby the filter plug after the transfer device in a staggered manner such that only one filter plug is arranged in a receiving trough of a conveying member. For this purpose, the filter plugs are staggered at a selectable or predetermined distance in the transfer device in the conveying direction or in the transverse axial direction offset from one another. If, after the first staggering, a plurality of filter stoppers are contained in a receptacle of a conveyor, then another transaxial staggering distance on the transfer device has to be selected than with staggered filter stoppers in the first staggering step, in which only one filter stopper is arranged in each case in a receptacle of the conveyor.
In Abhängigkeit der ersten Staffelung bzw. des ersten Staffelungsmusters der Filterstopfen vor der Übergabe an die Transfereinrichtung ist der auszuführende queraxiale Staffelungsabstand auf der Transfereinrichtung derart zu bestimmen, dass die Filterstopfen bei der Abgabe an einen nachfolgenden Förderer sowohl in Förderrichtung bzw. in queraxialer Richtung als auch in längsaxialer Richtung versetzt angeordnet sind. Hierdurch liegt in den Aufnahmen eines Förderers jeweils nur ein Filterstopfen. Seine Nachbarn in queraxialer und in längsaxialer Richtung befinden sich versetzt um einen queraxialen Abstand in den anderen Aufnahmen.Depending on the first staggering or first staggering pattern of the filter stoppers prior to transfer to the transfer device, the transverse axial staggering distance to be executed on the transfer device is to be determined in such a way that the filter stoppers are delivered both in the conveying direction or in the transverse axial direction as well as to a subsequent conveyor are arranged offset in the longitudinal axial direction. As a result, there is only one filter plug in the receptacles of a conveyor. Its neighbors in cross-axial and in the longitudinal axial direction are offset by a transaxial distance in the other recordings.
Im Anschluss an die Transfereinrichtung werden aus den gestaffelten Filterstopfen eine Reihe queraxial hintereinander geförderter Filterstopfen gebildet, wobei die Filterstopfen längsaxial hierzu verschoben werden.Following the transfer device from the staggered filter plug a series queraxial successively funded filter plug formed, wherein the filter plug are moved longitudinally axially thereto.
Der Aufwand für den Umbau bei einem Formatwechsel an der Filteransetzmaschine wird außerdem dadurch reduziert, dass bei der Erhöhung oder Erniedrigung der Anzahl der Schneideinrichtungen wenigstens eine Schneideinrichtung in ihrer ortsfesten Position verbleibt. Damit schneidet die wenigstens eine ortsfeste Schneideinrichtung die Filterstäbe vor und nach einem Wechsel der Filterstablänge bzw. einem Formatwechsel. Dementsprechend muss die wenigstens eine ortsfeste Schneideinrichtung nicht umgesetzt werden, wodurch sich die Umrüstzeiten weiter verkürzen.The cost of the conversion in a format change on the filter attachment machine is also reduced by the fact that remains at least one cutting device in its stationary position when increasing or decreasing the number of cutting devices. Thus, the at least one fixed cutting device cuts the filter rods before and after a change of the filter rod length or a format change. Accordingly, the at least one fixed cutting device need not be implemented, which further reduces the changeover times.
Bevorzugterweise wird bei einem Wechsel der zu schneidenden Filterstopfenlänge ein erster Anschlag für die Filterstäbe in Bezug auf die wenigstens eine ortsfeste Schneideinrichtung verschoben.Preferably, when changing the filter plug length to be cut, a first stop for the filter rods is displaced with respect to the at least one fixed cutting device.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn bei einer Erhöhung oder Erniedrigung der Anzahl der Schneideinrichtungen wenigstens eine zweite, insbesondere ortsfeste, Schneideinrichtung aktiviert oder deaktiviert wird.Furthermore, it is advantageous if, when increasing or decreasing the number of cutting devices, at least one second, in particular stationary, cutting device is activated or deactivated.
Ferner ist es günstig, wenn nach der Transfereinrichtung die Filterstopfen längsaxial zu einem zweiten Anschlag verschoben werden.Furthermore, it is favorable if, after the transfer device, the filter plugs are displaced longitudinally axially relative to a second stop.
Hierzu ist es besonders von Vorteil, wenn der zweite Anschlag bei einer Änderung der Filterstopfenlänge in seiner Position verändert wird, so dass die einreihig hintereinander angeordneten Filterstopfen mit einer vorbestimmten Position an weitere Förderorgane abgegeben werden.For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous if the second stop at a change in the filter plug length is changed in its position, so that the single-row successively arranged filter plug are delivered with a predetermined position to further conveying members.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung wird vorgeschlagen, dass der zweite Anschlag in seiner Position derart verändert wird, dass bei einem Wechsel der Filterstopfenlänge die Mitten der bisherigen Filterstopfen und die Mitten der neuen Filterstopfen in einer Ebene liegen.According to a preferred development, it is proposed that the second stop be changed in its position such that the centers of the previous filter plugs and the centers of the new filter plugs lie in one plane when the filter plug length is changed.
Außerdem ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Filterstopfen an eine Transfertrommel als Transfereinrichtung übergeben werden.Moreover, it is preferred if the filter plugs are transferred to a transfer drum as a transfer device.
Vorteilhaft ist es ferner, wenn die Transfereinrichtung oder die Transfertrommel bei einem Wechsel der Filterstopfenlänge ausgetauscht wird.It is also advantageous if the transfer device or the transfer drum is replaced when the filter plug length is changed.
Bevorzugterweise wird der vorbestimmte queraxiale Staffelungsabstand bei einem Wechsel der Filterstopfenlänge geändert.Preferably, the predetermined transverse axial stagger distance is changed with a change of the filter plug length.
Des Weiteren wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Filterzigaretten, wobei zwischen die Tabakstöcke einfache Filterstopfen doppelter Länge eingebracht werden, die doppelt langen Filterstopfen mit den Tabakstöcken einfacher Länge durch Umhüllen mittels eines Belagpapierblättchens zu Filterzigaretten doppelter Gebrauchslänge verbunden werden, wobei die Filterstopfen gemäß dem voranstehend beschriebenen Verfahren hergestellt werden. Die Herstellung der Filterstopfen erfolgt vorzugsweise in einer Filterzuführung einer Filteransetzmaschine.Furthermore, the object is achieved by a method for producing filter cigarettes, wherein between the tobacco sticks simple filter plugs double length are introduced, the double-length filter plug with the tobacco sticks simple length by wrapping by means of a tipping paper leaflets are connected to filter cigarettes double the use length, the filter plug according to be prepared by the method described above. The production of the filter plug is preferably carried out in a filter feed a Filteransetzmaschine.
