The gearing device has at least one member (54) which via a controllable actor (sic) between a first position and a second position, the motion of conveyor component (28) is made possible by rotating drive shaft (27). An independent claim is included for a production and/or packaging unit as described above.

Description

The present invention relates to a device for conveying products, preferably cigarette packets, in a manufacturing and / or packaging plant for the manufacture and / or packaging of cigarettes or other smokable articles, with a drive unit having a drive shaft, the at least one product via a transmission device temporarily contacting, a conveying movement exporting conveyor part drives, in particular a high lift, with which the products are conveyed, in particular can be raised. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a manufacturing and / or packaging plant for the manufacture and / or packaging of cigarettes or other smokable articles, in which the aforementioned conveying device is integrated.

Such conveyors in manufacturing and / or packaging plants for the manufacture and / or packaging of cigarettes or the like are known in the art. For example, is from the DE 24 62 974 a cyclically operating lifting conveyor with a high lift known, the cigarette packs, which are conveyed horizontally, lifts vertically out of the horizontal and promotes in pockets of a revolver, which then further promotes the cigarette packs. The high lift this lifting conveyor has horizontal lifting plates, which are lifted by means of a motor drive and a suitable transmission device a certain distance upwards.

The cigarette pack rests during the conveying movement on the horizontal lifting plates of the high lift. The high lifter is moved back from the raised position after a completed conveying movement to be able to promote the next cigarette pack upwards. He is therefore cyclically raised or guided down again.

Further, it is known in the art not to raise the high lifter should the controller have registered a miss pack. In this case, the packet of cigarettes is conveyed past and removed from the high-lift, which remains in the lower basic position. In order to allow for rotating drive shaft of the drive motor that the lifter remains this basic position, the - in the art often spring loaded - high lifter is blocked in its movement, such as a pawl, which prevents further movement of the high lifter. By this blockade naturally different parts of the mechanics of the high lift are loaded with great forces, since all driving forces continue to act on the high lift even during the blockade. The blockage takes place exclusively by blocking forces being applied to the drive forces.

In the lifting conveyors of the prior art is also disadvantageous that tend due to the increasing packaging speeds of the packaging machines whose biased springs to natural resonance. The lift of the lifting conveyor must work against the spring at every stroke and demands it heavily.

Based on this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to further develop the aforementioned conveying devices in order to ensure the most reliable and low-wear conveying operation even at high conveying cycles or conveying speeds.

This object is achieved by a device for conveying products, preferably cigarette packets, in a production and / or packaging installation for producing and / or packaging cigarettes or other smokable articles having the features of claim 1. The object is further achieved by a corresponding production and / or packaging installation with the features of claim 13.

Accordingly, the conveyor device is characterized in that the transmission device has at least one transmission element, that by a controllable actuator between a first position in which the transmission device prevents the conveying movement of the conveyor part, in particular the lifting movement of the high lift, with rotating drive shaft of the drive unit, in particular no drive movement, preferably no driving forces on the conveyor part transmits - blocking position - and a second position in which the transmission device allows the conveying movement of the conveyor part with a rotating drive shaft, in particular a drive movement, preferably driving forces, transmits to the conveyor part - exemption - controllable back and / or forth.

Advantageously, it is therefore possible, by means of a controllable actuator, for example by means of a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder with a piston reciprocable in the cylinder and piston to control a transmission member of the transmission device so that the transmission device depending on the position of the transmission member in the Lock position is transferred or in the exemption. The transmission device itself is therefore controlled, if necessary, so that the conveying movement of the conveyor part is executable or that this conveying movement is locked, or that a movement or power transmission takes place on the conveyor part or is prevented. A separate blocking device as in the prior art is no longer necessary, the transmission itself is switched back and / or forth between the two states as needed. The force effects on the high lift in the blocking position can be significantly reduced or even reduced to zero in this solution over the prior art.

According to the invention, the transmission device preferably has a drive transmission part and a guide transmission part, wherein rotational motions of the rotating drive shaft driven by a drive motor can be converted into suitable drive movements for driving the guide transmission part leading along a circular path section with the drive transmission part.

In a preferred embodiment, the gear member movable by the actuator is a first leg of a first toggle-shaped gear part of the drive gear part of the gear device, the second leg of which is connected to a second toggle-shaped gear part of the drive gear part of the gear device. Preferably, the connection is configured such that the second leg of the first toggle lever-shaped transmission part and a first leg of the second toggle-shaped transmission part assigned thereto are connected together to form a common axis of rotation via a hinge connection, in particular a pivot joint.

In the context of this application, a "toggle-shaped gear part" is understood to mean a gear part which, like a toggle lever, has at least two gear elements connected to one another via a joint, in particular a rotary joint, namely limbs. The joint connecting these two legs is referred to as a knee joint in the context of the application. The legs can be terminal connected via other joints with other components, in particular transmission parts, but they do not have this.

Preferably, a second leg of the second toggle-shaped gear part via a hinge connection, in particular a hinge on which the product at least temporarily contacting conveying part indirectly or directly articulated. The first leg of the first toggle-shaped gear part can indirectly or directly be rotatably attached to a housing or another stationary part of the manufacturing and / or packaging installation, in particular with a hinge connection, preferably a hinge, which at the articulation between the two legs of the first knee lever-shaped gear part - knee joint - opposite end of the first leg is arranged.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the transmission device is designed such that in the blocking position of the transmission device on the one hand or the axis of rotation, which is defined by the hinge connection between the articulated on the conveyor part leg of the second toggle-shaped gear part and the conveyor part, and on the other hand one or Rotary axis, which is defined by the articulation between the two legs of the first toggle-shaped gear part - knee joint - by previous, suitable movement of the movable arm of the actuator of the first toggle-shaped gear part in coverage or flight or almost in coverage or escape or be brought are. Preferably, in particular the two toggle-shaped gear parts and the individual joint connections are formed and / or dimensioned accordingly in order to enable the aforementioned overlap or flight of the axes of rotation in the locked position of the transmission device.

Further features of the present invention will become apparent from the appended subclaims, from the following description of a preferred embodiment and from the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a manufacturing and / or packaging plant for the manufacture and / or packaging of cigarettes or other smokable articles, namely a packaging machine 10 (packer) for the production of cigarette packs 11 of the type hinge-lid (hinge-lid pack). The packaging machine 10 works in cycles and is designed for a two-lane operation.

In the packaging machine 10, package blanks 12 are fed from a blank magazine 13 to a folding turret, not explicitly shown. In the folding turret, the respective blank 12 is guided to various folding stations arranged along a circular arc, in which complex folding operations are carried out in a manner known per se. In particular, cigarette blocks are supplied, which are enveloped by Staniolbobinen 14 originating blanks. Further, there is introduced a packing collar in the folding process, wherein the collar cut of collar bobs 15 comes. Furthermore, different blank areas of each blank are provided with glue in the folding turret and glued to other blank areas.

After completion of the folding operations, the respective packages are conveyed over two mutually parallel, horizontally oriented conveyor tracks 16 of a horizontal conveyor 17 in the direction of a transfer turret 18.

In the end region of this horizontal conveyor 17, a further conveyor 19, namely a lifting conveyor is provided, which takes over the conveyed from the horizontal conveyor 17 cigarette packs and the transfer turret 18 feeds by lifting the cigarette packs 11 each up and inserted into pockets 20 of the transfer turret 18. The pockets 20 each have movable walls 21, 22, which are zubewegbar to the inside of the cigarette pack 11. The bag walls are shaped to hold the cigarette pack 11 in the closed position of the bag 20.

The transfer turret 18 then transfers the cigarette packs 11 to a drying turret 23, in which the packs 11 dwell to stabilize the mold and to dry out glue spots.

In Fig. 2 the lifting conveyor 19 is shown in more detail.

It has a arranged below the conveyor tracks 16 gear device 24 with a drive gear part 25 and a respective guide gear part 26. The drive gear part 25 converts rotational movements of a rotating drive shaft 27 which is driven by a motor, not shown, in suitable drive movements for driving two conveyor parts 28 Each of a conveyor track 16 of the horizontal conveyor 17 is associated with a respective high lift 28 of the lifting conveyor 19, see. especially Fig. 6 , Accordingly, the guide transmission part 26 is also present twice, namely for each high lift 28, a separate guide transmission part 26th

Each guide gear part 26 has a parallel guide 29, namely two parallel and spaced from each other, pivotally articulated via stationary hinges 31 geared members 30. The gear members 30 each parallel guide 29 are rotatable with their respective pivot 31 opposite end with a high-lift fork 32 of the corresponding high lift The guide transmission part 26, namely the parallel guide 29, ensures that the respective conveying part 28 can only perform movements that run along a circular path section or circular arc.

Individual components of the drive transmission part 25 described below are only present in a simple manner and are thus assigned functionally to both elevators 28. Other components are duplicated, so that each of the two elevators 28 each one of these components is assigned.

The drive gear part 25 has a cam plate 34 operatively connected to the drive shaft 27. The cam plate 34 drives a roller lever 36 rotating about a stationary rotary joint 35 with a plurality of lever arms. A lever arm 37 of the roller lever 36 performs upon rotation of the cam 34 in the plane of rotation rotational movements, namely back and / or forth movements. In the Fig. 2 In this case, an operating state is shown, in which the lever arm 37 is moved downward. Terminally, the lever arm 37 of the roller lever 36 is connected to an intermediate member 39 via a swivel joint 40. The intermediate member 39 in turn is connected via a further rotary joint 41 with a first arm 44 of a symmetrical, about a defined by a fixed rotary joint 42 axis of rotation out and / or forth movements transfer lever 43 hinged.

The cam 34, the roller lever 36 and the lever arm 37 are only available in a simple way, thus serving to drive the two elevators 28th

The transmission lever 43 has for this purpose on both sides of the rotational axis defined by the pivot 42 of the transmission lever 43 on both sides lever arms, namely the aforementioned first lever arm 44 on the "drive side" and two second lever arms 45 on the "output side". Each of the two second lever arms 45 of the transmission lever 43 is used individually to transmit drive movements on the respective lever arm 45 associated high lift 28.

In the following, a first toggle-shaped gear part 46 and a second toggle-shaped gear part 47 of the drive gear part 25 are particularly important. The arrangement of toggle-shaped gear parts 46, 47 described below is present twice, namely once each high-lift 28. For the sake of simplicity, the relationships are described for only one of the elevators 28:

The second toggle-shaped gear part 47 has two via a hinge connection 48, namely a hinge, interconnected legs 49, 50. The articulated connection 48 is referred to below as a knee joint. The first leg 49 of the second toggle-shaped transmission part 47 is connected terminally to one of the two second lever arms 45 of the transmission lever 43, via a pivot 51. The second leg 50 of the second toggle-shaped transmission part 47 is articulated by means of a pivot 52 on the high lift 28.

The first toggle-shaped gear part 46 also has a first leg 54 and a second leg 55, which are connected to each other via a common, hereinafter also referred to as a knee joint articulation 53, namely a hinge. The first leg 54 of this first toggle lever-shaped gear part 46 is rotatably supported by means of a pivotally arranged in particular on the housing of the packaging machine 10 pivot joint 56. The second leg 55 of the first toggle lever-shaped transmission part 46 is pivotally connected at its opposite end of the pivot 53 by means of a pivot joint 57 to an elongate connecting part 58 which extends at least partially along the axis defined by the pivot 48 axis of rotation of the second toggle-shaped transmission part 47 and with the second toggle-shaped gear part 47 is connected.

The articulation of the rotary joint 57 on the connected to the second knee-lever-shaped transmission part 48, elongated connecting part 58 takes place such that the axis of rotation defined by this pivot 57 coincides with that axis of rotation which is defined by the knee joint 48 of the second toggle lever-shaped transmission part 47. The knee joint 48 of the second toggle-shaped gear part 47 on the one hand and the second leg 55 of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46, in particular the end portion of this leg 55, rotate in other words about a common axis of rotation.

The spatial position of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46, in particular of the first leg 54, is variable by means of a controllable by a control and / or regulating device, not shown actuator 59. The actuator 59 has a stationary rotatable - about a housing - articulated pneumatic cylinder 60, the piston 61, namely the piston rod 62 of the piston 61, is rotatably articulated to the first leg 54 of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46 with a pivot joint 63, in such a way that movements of the piston 61 within the pneumatic cylinder 60 lead to rotations of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46 about the defined by the fixed pivot 56 axis of rotation.

By controlling the actuator 59, namely by moving the piston 61, the transmission device 24 can assume two different operating positions:

In a first, free operating position - hereinafter referred to as exemption - the transmission device 24, the piston 61 is in a retracted basic position within the cylinder 60 (FIG. Fig. 2 and 3 ). In this basic position, on the one hand, the axis of rotation, through the hinge joint 52 between the on the high lift 28th hinged leg 50 of the second toggle-shaped gear part 47 and the lifter 28 is defined, and on the other hand, the axis of rotation, which is defined by the hinge connection between the two legs of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46, namely the knee joint 53, not in overlap, ie they are not aligned, but rather are clearly spaced from each other. In this exemption of the transmission device 24 transmits the transmission device 24 with rotating drive shaft 27, the corresponding drive forces on the guide gear part 26 on the lifter 28, so that the high lift 28 at a full rotation of the drive shaft 27, starting from the in Fig. 2 shown starting position performs a lifting movement upward and then a return movement to the starting position.

The high lifting fork 32 of the high lift 28 has for this purpose terminal sections horizontally extending pairs of lifting parts 65, wherein the lifting parts 65 each extend parallel to each other and are spaced from each other. The lifting parts 65 are embedded in the above-described starting position of the high lift 28 in the conveyor track 16 of the horizontal conveyor 17, namely in corresponding slots 66 in the conveyor track 16. The individual cigarette packs 11 are associated with a conveying strand 64 of the horizontal conveyor 17 entrainment 67 along the corresponding conveyor track 16 of the horizontal conveyor 17 in the direction of the lifting conveyor 19 moves. As soon as the respective cigarette pack 11 is in the conveying direction at the height of the lifting parts 65 of the lifting conveyor 19, the lifting parts 65 are moved by moving the high lifter 28 with the cigarette packet 11 upwards ( Fig. 3 ). Terminal, in particular vertically extending stops 68 on opposite sides of the lifting parts 65 ensure that the cigarette pack 11 does not fall down from the lifting fork 32 during the lifting movement describing a circular path section.

In a second, blocking operating position - hereinafter referred to as blocking position - the transmission device 24, the piston 61 is in an extended position within the cylinder 60. By extending the piston 61 in this end position of the piston rod 62 is connected to the first Leg 54 of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46 is rotated about the axis defined by the pivot 56 axis of rotation in a clockwise direction. In this blocking position are on the one hand, the axis of rotation, which is defined by the articulation 52 between the hinged to the jack 28 leg 50 of the second toggle-shaped transmission part 47 and the lifter 28, and on the other hand, the axis of rotation, through the hinge joint 53 between the two legs of the first knee lever-shaped gear part 46, namely the knee joint 53 is defined, in overlap, ie they are aligned. This leads as a result of various gear technical relationships to the fact that the high lift 28 is not driven in this locked position. A cigarette pack 11, which has previously been identified as faulty, can therefore be conveyed past and removed from the lifting device 28, which carries out no lifting movement in this position.

The individual axes of rotation defined by the respective articulations of the transmission device 24 are all arranged parallel to one another in the present embodiment. However, as the person skilled in the art recognizes, this is not absolutely necessary.

As regards the distances of the individual axes of rotation to each other, the following applies: The distance between the axis of rotation, which is defined by the knee joint 53 of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46 and the axis of rotation, by the hinge connection 56 between the first leg 54 of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46th and the housing or other stationary part of the packaging machine 10 is identical or nearly identical to the distance between this knee joint rotational axis of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46 and the axis of rotation, through the hinge joint 57 between the second leg 55 of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46 and the second toggle-shaped gear part 47 is defined.

The distance between the axis of rotation defined by the knee joint 48 of the second toggle-shaped gear portion 47 and the axis of rotation defined by the hinge 52 on the leg 50 of the second toggle-shaped gear portion 47 associated with the lifter 28 is identical or nearly identical to that Distance between the knee joint rotational axis of the first toggle-shaped gear part 46 and the rotation axis, which is defined by the hinge joint 57 between the first toggle-shaped gear part 46 and the second toggle-shaped gear part 47.

As mentioned above, there are two elevators 28 each. Each of the elevators can be controlled separately by means of an actuator 59 associated with the respective lifter 28. Therefore, on the first conveyor track 16, the movement of the high lift 28 may be disabled, on the second conveyor track 16, however, not and vice versa.

Fig. 7 finally shows the behavior of the lifting conveyor 19 according to the invention, if on the high lift 28, in particular on the lifting parts 65 from above a pressure of certain size is exercised. For example, a resting on the lifting parts 65, dented cigarette packet 11, which when lifting in the direction of the pockets 20 of the transfer turret 18 is incorrectly pressed into the pockets 20, exert a counter pressure on the high lift 28.

The transmission device 24, in particular the two toggle-shaped gear parts 46, 47, are designed such that buckling of at least the first toggle-shaped gear part 46 about its knee joint 53 can be effected by a pressure exerted on the high-lift 28 of suitable size. This buckling caused in the in the Fig. 7 illustrated exemption of the transmission device 24 in the release actually inadmissible extension of the piston 61 from the basic position. This extension is detectable as a faulty operating state with a sensor 60 assigned to the cylinder 60, which sensor can detect an impermissible change in position. The sensor 69 is in this case a corresponding error signal. By means of the control and / or regulating device, not shown, suitable measures can be initiated when the corresponding error signal occurs, for example a machine stop of the packaging machine 10.

Finally, the transmission device 24 still has the peculiarity that in its exemption different strokes, namely different lifting heights or stroke lengths of the high lift 28 are adjustable. For this purpose, the basic position of the piston 61, in which the piston 61 is retracted into the cylinder 60, adjusted or adjusted by suitable adjustment. Accordingly, the retracted into the cylinder 60 length of the piston 61 is adjusted.

In the release of the transmission device 24, when the base position of the piston 61 is changed from a first or standard home position to slightly extend the piston 61 from the standard home position, the spatial position of the first leg 54 of the first toggle-type transmission part becomes 46 slightly changed: The leg 54 is rotated slightly clockwise about the pivot 56. As a result, the second toggle-type transmission member 47 bends slightly downwardly about the knee joint 48 thereof, i.e., the knee-jointed transmission member 47 is bent. the corresponding angle between its legs 49, 50 is smaller. As a result, this causes a smaller stroke of the high lift 28.

Conversely, when retracting the piston 61 relative to the standard basic position, the stroke is increased: the leg 54 is rotated slightly counter-clockwise around the rotary joint 56. As a result, the second toggle-shaped gear part 47 slightly stretched around the knee joint 48, ie the angle between its legs 49, 50 is larger. As a result, this causes a larger stroke of the high lift 28th
