Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flow body in a stranding machine of the tobacco processing industry according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a cigarette rod machine with flow channels defined by a flow body for supplying a plurality of pneumatically conveyed tobacco streams to respective suction belt conveyors for constructing a plurality of tobacco strands is known.
  • a flow body for supplying a plurality of pneumatically conveyed tobacco streams to respective suction belt conveyors for constructing a plurality of tobacco strands.
  • respective suction belt conveyors for constructing a plurality of tobacco strands
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the extraction of conveying air from a tobacco stream in the downstream region of the flow body with simple means.
  • the invention solves this problem by the means of claim 1.
  • a favorable suction profile can be adjusted in a particularly simple manner. It has been shown that an increasingly stronger extraction of conveying air along a transport direction transverse to the tobacco stream is advantageous. Therefore, the suction opening arrangement according to the invention is designed so that its opening area increases in a direction transverse to the tobacco stream.
  • An increasingly stronger extraction of conveying air can be advantageous, in particular along a conveying direction of a suction belt conveyor, because the suction flow through the suction belt is reduced in the area of greater tobacco accumulation on the suction belt due to the increased flow resistance associated with the tobacco accumulation and therefore in the region of heavier tobacco accumulation a larger amount of air before Suction belt must be sucked off in order to achieve over the width of the flow body substantially constant flow of the tobacco stream.
  • the suction profile can be determined solely by a suitable geometric design of the suction opening arrangement. Additional adjustable, optionally controllable or controllable means for adjusting, controlling or regulating a desired suction profile, i. the amount of air sucked in a direction transverse to the tobacco stream can therefore be dispensed with.
  • the flow body is therefore preferably free of adjustable means for adjusting the air quantity profile drawn along a direction transverse to the tobacco stream.
  • the suction opening arrangement comprises at least one suction opening.
  • the design of the Absaugöffnean Aunt is not set to a certain number, arrangement or shaping of suction; It is only essential that the opening area increases along a direction transverse to the tobacco stream.
  • the suction opening arrangement is formed by a plurality of suction openings. In this case, the enlargement of the opening area can be realized, in particular, by increasing the number of openings in the flow direction along a direction transverse to the flow direction.
  • Flow direction means the direction of flow of the tobacco stream.
  • the size of the suction openings is sufficiently small to largely prevent unwanted passage of tobacco fibers through the suction openings.
  • the mean diameter of the preferably circular suction openings is therefore preferably less than 4 mm.
  • the invention is not limited to a plurality of suction openings.
  • the suction opening arrangement can also be formed, for example, by a suction opening extending in a wedge-shaped manner transversely to the tobacco stream.
  • An expedient embodiment is characterized in that the suction openings are formed in the form of superposed rows, which have a different length to form a step arrangement in the transverse direction.
  • the desired air extraction can be realized without additional control and / or regulating device.
  • Another advantage is that such a trained flow body is particularly simple and robust and inexpensive to produce.
  • the flow body according to the invention is preferably used in a multiple-strand cigarette machine, in particular a double-strand cigarette machine.
  • the application in a single-strand cigarette machine is possible.
  • the in Fig. 1 shown distributor of a two-strand cigarette machine comprises a pre-distributor 10, a steep conveyor 17, a recirculation system with a zigzag sifter 22 and a tobacco 26, a tobacco separator 26 downstream distributor element 39 for distributing the tobacco on two storage bays 40, 40 ', which in corresponding upward , superimposed flow channels 44, 44 'open.
  • the flow channels 44, 44 ' is supplied by means of appropriate Blas Kunststoffzu operationen 43, 43' conveying air to from the storage bays 40, 40 'by means of removal rollers 42, 42' removed tobacco in a Tabakf adoptedbettströmung through the flow channels 44, 44 'over the entire width at the end of Flow channels 44, 44 'arranged to supply corresponding Saugstrang makeupern 50, 50'.
  • the transport direction 91 of the suction belt conveyors 50, 50 ' extends in Fig. 1 into the paper plane. The tobacco is thus at the end of the flow channels 44, 44 'in a direction transverse to the air flow through the flow channels 44, 44' conveyed away. This direction is also referred to below as the transverse direction 91.
  • the upper flow channel 44 is, as from the Fig. 2 and 3 can be seen formed between a trough-shaped curved transport surface 601 on top of a first flow body 60 and a corresponding boundary surface 200 of an unspecified part 201 of the distributor.
  • the indicated by arrows conveying air for the upper and first flow channel 44 can be at least partially supplied through a supply air duct 606 in the first flow body 60 and an outlet nozzle 602 in the transport surface 601.
  • the lower flow channel 44 ' is formed between the lower side 603, or an opposite side of the transport surface 601, the first flow body 60, and a transport surface 611 on the upper side of a second flow body 61.
  • FIG. 3 it can be seen that some of the conveying air from the second tobacco stream 95 'is sucked into the suction belt conveyor 50' in order to hold the tobacco fibers on suction belts (not shown). The excess part of the conveying air from the second tobacco flow 95 'is sucked out of the flow channel 44'.
  • the suction device 30 comprises a suction opening 180 in the bottom 603 of the first flow body 60 in the region of its downstream end 70 and a negative pressure, in the first flow body 60 extending exhaust duct 608 to the excess portion of the conveying air from the second Flow channel 44 'through the Absaugö réellesan für 180 and the exhaust duct 608 and through a particular lateral exhaust port 605 in the first flow body 60phil kit.
  • the suction of the excess Delivery air thus takes place through the first flow body 60 in the opposite direction to the second tobacco flow 95 '.
  • a partition wall 604 is expediently provided in the first flow body 60.
  • the aspiration port assembly 180 is conveniently located on the inner wall of the curved flow channel 44 'so that the tobacco is accelerated away from the aspiration port assembly 180 to substantially prevent unwanted passage of tobacco fibers through the aspiration port assembly 180.
  • the Absaugö Stammsan instrument 180 extends almost the entire width of the first flow body 60, ie the entire dimension of the first flow body 60 in the transverse direction 91. It is therefore an elongated Absaugö Stammsan instrument 180, wherein oblong means that the length in the transverse direction 91 at least three times, preferably at least five times as large as the height h in the flow direction through the flow channel 44 '.
  • the opening area of the suction opening assembly 180 increases along the transverse direction 91 of the tobacco. This means that with an imaginary subdivision of the suction opening arrangement 180 into a plurality of sections of uniform length d along the transverse direction 91 (see Fig. 4 ) the opening area of all suction openings per section along the transverse direction 91 increases overall. Within the scope of this condition, the number, arrangement and formation of suction holes forming the suction opening assembly 180 may be determined as appropriate.
  • the opening size increases monotonously, that is, the opening area of each subsequent section in the transverse direction 91 is greater than or equal to the opening area of the respective preceding section.
  • the opening area may increase linearly, but this is by no means absolutely the case.
  • the increase in the opening size of the suction opening assembly 180 in a direction transverse to the flow direction in the flow passage 44 ' may also serve to compensate for an asymmetric flow profile in the exhaust passage 608 of the first flow body 60.
  • the suction opening arrangement 180 comprises according to Fig. 5 Preferably, a plurality of suction openings 182, whose shape and size is such that a passage of tobacco fibers through the suction openings 182 is substantially prevented.
  • the suction openings 182 preferably have a sufficiently small (average) diameter, which is preferably below 4 mm and, for example, about 2.5 mm.
  • the suction openings 182 are preferably circular. All suction openings 182 may preferably have the same size and shape.
  • the same suction openings 182 are formed in the form of superposed rows, which have a different length to form a step arrangement in the transverse direction 91.
  • the suction opening 180 is formed in a particular plate-shaped cover 183, which serves to cover the exhaust duct 608 in the first flow body 60.
  • a cover 183 is usually present anyway to prevent the entry of tobacco fibers into the exhaust duct 180.
  • the cover 183 is suitably fitted flush with the bottom 603 of the first flow body 60 or integrally formed with the bottom 603 of the first flow body 60 to avoid protrusions on which tobacco buildup could form.
  • the embodiment described above relates to a double-stranded cigarette machine; However, the invention is particularly applicable in a single-strand or four-strand cigarette machine with a corresponding number of tobacco streams accordingly.
