Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the controlled conveying of a cigarette stream into an initially empty conveyor section of a machine for producing and / or packing cigarettes, wherein the conveyor section is bounded laterally by walls and the cigarette stream is supported in conveying by a movable support member, which together with the Cigarette stream is moved along the conveyor section, according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding device according to the preamble of claim 6.
  • the transport of cigarettes in a stream of cigarettes within a cigarette making machine and / or a cigarette packaging machine takes place predominantly using the net weight of the cigarettes.
  • the cigarettes are moved through various organs of the machine along conveyor lines or conveyor sections.
  • the EP 1 704 787 A1 adds a new solution to the problem for the prior art.
  • elastic or telescopic supporting organs are proposed which serve to introduce the cigarette stream.
  • the shape or size, in particular the length of the support member can be changed in this way the shape or size, in particular the length of the support member.
  • support organs require a complex construction and are therefore prone to technical interference.
  • this prior art shows a solution in which supporting organs are parked after feeding the cigarette stream into niches of lateral walls of the conveying section.
  • the invention has for its object to provide alternative solutions to the technical problem mentioned above.
  • a method according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • the walls are moved in such a way that the cross section widens in the conveying direction for distributing the cigarette stream onto a subsequent conveying section with a larger cross section, in particular with a larger width.
  • This solution is advantageous, for example, when the cigarette stream is to be transferred from a narrow shaft to a wider shaft part of a cigarette magazine.
  • the opposite walls can be moved one after the other, in particular can be pivoted, preferably with a time offset from each other. It has been found that pivoting the walls is a solution that is easy to implement. In this way, the cross section of the conveyor section can be gradually extended without causing malposition of the cigarettes. It has surprisingly been found that the time-delayed moving of the walls also reduces the risk of malposition of the cigarettes.
  • the moving of the walls is preferably carried out after the cigarette stream has substantially completely filled the conveying section. Accordingly, the cigarettes are conveyed lying on the support member in the conveying section until the cigarette stream has reached the bottom of the conveying section and thus the conveying section is completely filled with cigarettes. Only then are the walls moved, so that the cross-section of the conveyor section is increased and this is gradually filled by inflowing cigarettes or rolling cigarette cigarettes sideways. In this way, the width of the cigarette stream can be increased in a controlled manner, without causing malpositions of the cigarettes.
  • a device according to the invention has the features of claim 6. Preferred developments of the device according to the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the description and the drawings, moreover.
  • the invention relates to the conveying of a cigarette stream 10, so a loose mass flow of cigarettes, in an empty conveyor section of a machine for producing or packaging of cigarettes.
  • the invention is explained using the example of conveying a cigarette stream 10 into an empty cigarette magazine 11.
  • the basic structure of the cigarette magazine 11 is for example from the EP 1 020 126 B1 the applicant known.
  • Important components for the present invention are in this case the construction of the cigarette magazine 11 from a storage part 12 and a shaft part 13, as well as the use of a support member fourteenth
  • the storage part 12 of the cigarette magazine 11 has a first, upper conveyor section 15 with preferably rectangular and constant cross-section.
  • a subsequent subsequent lower conveyor section 16 the cross section of the storage part 12 widens in the conveying direction downwards, such as in Fig. 1 shown.
  • the storage part 12 is laterally bounded by walls 17, 18, namely lateral walls 17 in the region of the upper conveyor section 15 and lateral walls 18 in the region of the lower conveyor section 16.
  • the conveyor sections 15, 16 delimited by the walls 17, 18 form a shaft, through which the cigarette stream 10 is fed in the duct part 13.
  • the cigarette stream 10 supplied in the rectangular upper conveyor section 15 is spread across the diverging region of the second conveyor section 16 in full width distributed over the shaft part 13.
  • the upper conveyor section 15 is arranged centrally above the shaft section 13, in each case at a lateral distance from its edges, preferably substantially centrally above the shaft section 13.
  • each shaft 19 is formed for each row of cigarettes lying one above the other.
  • the individual shafts 19 are separated from one another by walls of the shaft part 13.
  • Hinttelstangen 20 ensure distribution of the cigarette stream 10 in the individual shafts 19.
  • At the bottom of the cigarette magazine 11 each pack groups of cigarettes are formed according to the contents of a cigarette pack and pushed transversely to the drawing plane shown.
  • the support member 14 which is realized here in the form of a support plate.
  • the support member 14 has dimensions that substantially correspond to those of the upper conveyor section 15.
  • the support member 14 has constant, non-variable dimensions.
  • the support member 14 in the storage part 12 is continuously moved downwards until the cigarettes reach the chute part 13.
  • the support member 14 is then withdrawn transversely to the plane of the drawing from the storage part 12 and moved outside the same back to the upper starting position. There, the support member 14 remains outside the storage part 12 until it is needed again for the insertion of the next cigarette stream 10 and is inserted transversely to the plane of the drawing in the storage part 12.
  • the introduction of a cigarette stream 10 into an empty conveying section 15, 16 of the device may, for example, be required after a break in operation or upon a change of the cigarette mark processed on the machine.
  • An inventive feature of the device shown in the figures is that a part of the storage part 12 limiting walls 18 are designed to be movable to change the cross section of the storage part 12 in this area.
  • the walls 17 of the upper conveyor section 15 of the storage part 12 are fixed.
  • the cross section of this conveyor section 15 is constant over the entire delivery height and substantially corresponds to the dimensions of the support member 14.
  • the walls 18 of the second conveyor section 16, however, are movable designed to adjust the cross section of the storage part 12 in this area in accordance with the conveyed cigarettes.
  • the walls 17 are in accordance with the supplied cigarette stream 10 as shown in FIG Fig. 3 . 4 and 6 to 8 pivotable. Due to these measures, a cross-over of the cigarettes of the cigarette stream 10 during Feeding be prevented in the empty conveyor section 16 above the shaft portion 12.
  • the movable walls 18 consist essentially of three sections, namely a first upper section 24 in which the movable wall 18 extends in a straight line. This is followed by a second section 25 which extends at an angle to the first section 24.
  • the second portion 25 and the adjoining third portion 26 are pivotally connected to each other about a hinge 27, wherein the hinge axis of the hinge 27 extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the wall 18.
  • the actuation of the two movable walls 18 is effected by two actuators 28 which, for example, as shown in the figures, may be formed as a pneumatic cylinder.
  • the left in the figures wall 18 is actuated by the aligned in the vertical direction parallel to the wall 17 pneumatic cylinder, which can be moved in and out accordingly.
  • the pneumatic cylinder is coupled to the first portion 24 of the wall 18 via an elbow 29.
  • the first portion 24 of the wall 18 is moved parallel to the upper wall 17 of the first conveyor section 15 and passed through the guide 21, so that due to the geometry of the sections 24, 25 and 26 and by the hinge 27 and the bearing in the opening 22 results in a pivoting of this wall 18, as shown in the figures.
  • the right in the figures wall 18 is also actuated via a pneumatic cylinder as an actuator 28.
  • this pneumatic cylinder is not aligned in the vertical direction, but works obliquely or diagonally upward.
  • the coupling with the first portion 24 of the wall 18 via a coupled to the pneumatic cylinder belt 30, which is guided over three transport rollers 31.
  • the linearly extendable end of the pneumatic cylinder is coupled via a driver 38 with the belt 30 and this is in turn via a coupling piece 39 to the first section 24 of the movable wall 18 fixed, which is movable in this way by extending and retracting the pneumatic cylinder as the left wall 18.
  • the cigarette stream 10 is supplied to the cigarette magazine 11 from above the storage part 12, namely between two baffles 32, 33, which are spaced to form a vertical shaft.
  • the two baffles 32, 33 are arranged laterally offset from the upper opening of the storage part 12.
  • the cigarette stream 10 is passed through the baffles 32, 33 to a horizontally oriented conveyor belt 34 which is mounted as an endless belt on two transport rollers 35.
  • the cigarette stream 10 is transported by means of the transport belt 34 in the direction of the upper opening of the storage part 12.
  • the cigarette stream 10 is bounded on the upper side by a roller chain 36.
  • the roller chain 36 is fixed on the one hand on the baffle 32 and on the other to the fixed wall 17 of the storage part 12.
  • the baffles 32, 33 are each formed curved at the lower end to redirect the cigarette stream 10 as trouble-free as possible from the vertical conveying direction in the horizontal conveying direction , Furthermore, it can be seen a housing wall 37 which is only partially shown. On this housing wall 37, the fixed wall 17 is also attached, on which the roller chain 36 is mounted.
  • Fig. 4 it can be seen in the next step, the cigarette stream 10 is introduced into the region of the transport belt 34 and the roller chain 36.
  • the support member 14 is a penetration or falling down of the cigarette of the cigarette stream 10 in the two conveying sections 15, 16 prevented.
  • the shafts 19 of the shaft part 13 are emptied, so that they are free of cigarettes.
  • support rods 41 are moved in the wells 19 upwards, so that the later promoted into the slot 19 cigarettes are supported on the underside.
  • this solution is already out of the EP 1 020 126 B1 the applicant, to which reference is made for the purpose of fully disclosing the invention.
  • the cigarette stream 10 is distributed over the entire width of the shaft part 13.
  • the direction of movement of the actuators 28 is in Fig. 7 and 8th each indicated by arrows 43 and 44 respectively.
  • the cigarette stream is gradually divided to the entire width of the shaft part 13.
  • FIG. 7 shows, the right in the drawing wall 18 is first moved and only after that the left wall 18. It has surprisingly been found that in this way a further improved distribution of the cigarette stream 10 is possible.
  • the support member 14 may also consist of a sponge-like material.
  • a reciprocating slider 50 is shown schematically, which serves to push out the groups of cigarettes from the shaft portion 13.
