It can thus be applied in critical areas of the blank, in particular in marginal areas, for example, smaller portion sizes, ie smaller amounts of glue than further inside the blank. Correspondingly, the risk is reduced that glue is pressed outwards or comes to the outside when holding together the blank areas to be glued together.
  • the glue portions which are spatially separated on the blank have different glue amounts or glue sizes.
  • These individual spatially separated portions are advantageously generated only within a single valve opening cycle. In this case, an opening cycle starting from the closed valve with the one-time opening of the valve with then closing it.
  • it can basically also be provided to generate the individual separate glue portions in each case by repeatedly opening the valve.
  • a valve for flowable media which can be used for such a method, has a valve housing, an outlet or valve opening and the closure member with which the valve between the open position and the closed position back and / or forth is movable.

  • Further glue spots 29d in the region of the front wall 15 and in the region of the rear wall 17 and the inner side flaps 18 hold the contents of the package, namely a separate inner blank, not shown, surrounding a group of cigarettes, usually made of tinfoil.
  • glue spots 29e are applied in the area of the lid front wall 22 and, corresponding to this, glue spots 29f in the region of the lid inner flap.
  • the smaller glue spots 28 are applied in different marginal areas of the package blank 11, while the larger glue spots 29 are arranged predominantly further inside the blank 11. This is intended in particular to prevent surplus adhesive being present when the individual areas to be bonded are pressed against one another or pressed against one another, which penetrates to the outside and, in particular, contaminates the printed side of the package blank 11.
  • Fig. 2 shows that part of a packaging machine for the production of cigarette packs 10, on which the glue drops 28, 29 of different sizes are applied to the individual blanks 11, namely a so-called cutting unit 30.

  • Fig. 3 shows a single glue valve 27 of the glue valve group 26. It has a valve housing 45 to which a flowable medium, in this case glue, is supplied via a glue line 46.
  • the individual glue portions can emerge from a lower valve opening 47, which are delimited by a conical or conical valve seat 48.
  • a movable closure member 49 cooperates.
  • the closure member 49 has a valve body 48 and the valve opening 47 facing closing body 50. This closing body 50 is spherical. When the valve opening 47 is closed, the closing body 50 holds a sealing engagement with the valve seat 48.
  • the closing body 50 is connected via an intermediate piece 51 to a piston piece 52 as part of the closure member 49.
  • the piston member 52 and thus the closure member 49 is within the valve housing 45 in the direction of the valve seat 48 and moved back, so back and / or forth or moved up and down.
  • valve chamber 53 is formed, into which the glue line 46 opens and from which glue exits via the valve opening 47 when the valve is open.
  • the valve housing 45 is provided with a continuous, open on the opposite side to the valve opening 47, in cross-section interior 54. This is closed to the outside, by a threaded bolt 55 with seal 56.
  • the adjustable threaded bolt 55 is also a stop for the reciprocating movements of the closure member 49th
  • the closure member 49 is movable by an actuator in the closed position and by an antidote in the open position.
  • the actuator is preferably constantly effective, so that the closed position of the valve or the closing piece 50 is the normal position.
  • the return member for moving the closure member 49 in the open position is an electromagnet 57 which surrounds the closure member 49 at least in a partial region.
  • the metallic piston piece 52 acts within a coil of the electromagnet 57 as its core. When the power supply, therefore, a magnetic force is transmitted to the piston piece 52 and thereby moves the closure member 49 in total in the open position.
  • the closure member 49 is preferably permanently urged in the closing direction by a closing means.
  • This is formed in the present embodiment as a permanent magnet which exerts a permanent magnetic force on the closure member 49 in the sense of a closing movement.

  • the single magnet 58 is seated in a recess or depression in the end region of the threaded bolt 55, and slightly set back relative to the end or end face of the threaded bolt 55. The individual magnet 58 is thereby protected.
  • the other single magnet 59 is attached in an analogous manner to the (upper) end of the piston piece 52 or embedded in a corresponding recess.

  • a repulsive force is permanently transmitted to the closure member 49, so that it is acted upon in the closed position.
  • the opening movement by the electromagnet 57 overcomes this permanent closing force.
  • the region of the closure member 49 or its piston piece 52 is provided with a polygonal or approximately hexagonal outer contour, so that cavities are formed with respect to the cylindrical inner space 54, through which glue can reach into the region of the individual magnets 58, 59.
  • a spacer 60 at the upper end of the piston piece 52 is provided with radially directed passage openings or interruptions 61, which allow the passage of glue, so that it can flow out of the relevant area again.
  • a spacer 60 with interruptions 61 a plurality of spacers may be attached, which, like the spacer 60, the minimum distance between the two individual magnets 58, 59 ensure.
  • the valve may be provided with a single, central valve opening 47. Alternatively, multiple valve or nozzle openings may be present. It is particularly important that the valve 27 further comprises a temperature sensor 62. This is positioned such that the measuring head 63 of the temperature sensor 62 projects into the valve chamber 53. In other words, the temperature sensor 62 is positioned so that the temperature of the glue in the valve chamber 53 can be measured.
  • the temperature sensor 62 is connected to a cable connection 64 with a control and / or regulating device 65 controlling and / or regulating the glue valve 27.
  • the valve 27 has an acceleration sensor 66.
  • the acceleration sensor 66 projects from the top side of the valve 27 into the upper housing wall of the valve 27. It is arranged such that it can detect acceleration movements, which the closure member 49 performs in the context of the opening and closing movements.
  • the acceleration sensor 66 is connected to the control and / or regulating device 65 with a cable connection 67.
  • valve 27 is controlled and / or regulated. This will be explained in more detail below with reference to Fig. 5 explained.
  • the glue valve group 26 With the glue valve group 26, the glue spots 28, 29 of different size are applied to the respective blank 11.
  • the Leimventilen 26 has for this purpose across the longitudinal extent of the blank six arranged in a row glue valves 27.
  • the individual glue valves 27 are each as in the Fig. 3 shown glue valve 27 constructed.
  • Each of the size valves 27 is attached to a common carrier 68 of the glue valve group 26.
  • the glue valve group 26 and thus each individual glue valve 27 is supplied with glue via a common glue feed 69.
  • In the interior of the group carrier 68 run individual branch lines that lead the glue from the central, common glue supply 69 to the individual glue valves 27, in particular to the respective glue lines 46 of the glue valves 27th
  • the glue is supplied by means of a feed pump 70 of the glue application device, which promotes glue from a reservoir, not shown, in the direction of the group valve 26.
  • a downstream of the feed pump 70 arranged pressure regulator 71 allows the setting of a suitable working pressure.
  • a pressure transducer 72 arranged downstream of the pressure regulator 71 the current actual pressure can be read out.
  • control lines 73 respectively lead to corresponding outputs of the control and / or regulating device 65.
  • the transmission of the control signals to the glue valves 27 is wired. In principle, of course, it is also conceivable to transmit the control signals wirelessly.
  • the power supply of the individual glue valves 27 is effected by a separate, not shown, power source.
  • the sizes of the glue spots 28, 29, which are generated by the glue valves 27, are automatically controlled and / or regulated as a function of at least one parameter.
  • two measured variables are measured, which are influenced by the viscosity of the glue or are dependent on it.
  • this is the glue temperature measured by the temperature of the respective temperature sensor 62.
  • accelerated movements of the closure member 49 are detected by the acceleration sensor 66.
  • the closure member 49 is first with a first, relatively larger force - opening force - applied.
  • the electromagnet 57 is flowed through by an electric current 88 of a certain comparatively greater magnitude-opening current-which effects the opening force acting on the closure member 49, cf. the current / time diagram 89 of the Fig. 4 ,
  • the flow of current through the electromagnet 57 can be reduced after the abutment of the closure member 49 on the threaded bolt 55. Accordingly, only a current 91 of lesser intensity, which is referred to below as the holding current 91, flows relative to the opening current 88.
  • the viscosity-dependent time duration is measured by means of the acceleration sensor, which requires the closure member 49 to be moved from the closed position to the open position.
  • This period of time - opening time - can be determined by measuring the time t which elapses between the initial acceleration 86 of the closure member 49 at the beginning of the opening movement and the negative final acceleration 90 at the end of the opening movement.
  • more opening time t or less opening time t can be determined by measuring the time t which elapses between the initial acceleration 86 of the closure member 49 at the beginning of the opening movement.
  • the measurement results of the opening time flow into the control and / or regulation of the respective glue valve 27 or the glue valve group 26 in that the time duration of the force effect of the opening force, ie the time duration in which the opening flow 88 flows, is adapted to the measured opening time , In the present embodiment, the time period in which the opening current flows through the electromagnet 57, equated to the measured opening time.
  • the times within which this must be reached Leimventil 27 is opened are adapted to the changing viscosity or to the changing glue temperature accordingly. Accordingly, the closure member 49 of the glue valve 27 is held in the case of decreasing tack viscosity for smaller time intervals in the open position enabling the glue exit to achieve a constant glue spot size. Accordingly, the time period in which the holding current 91 flows through the electromagnet 57 is appropriately lengthened or shortened.
  • FIG. 5 Schematically is in the Fig. 5 represented by a dot-dashed arrow that the corresponding acceleration signals 74 of each of the glue valves 27 are detected.
  • the acceleration signals 74 are transferred to the control and / or regulating device 65 at their inputs.
  • the temperature signals 75 originating from the respective temperature sensors 62 are also communicated to the control and / or regulating device 65.
  • the engine speed 76 is supplied.
  • the measurement of the engine speed takes place in the usual way via an engine speed sensor 77.
  • control and / or regulating device 65 as input variables nor pressure signals 78 passed, which generates the pressure transducer 72.
  • control and / or regulating device 65 the input variables mentioned are processed or evaluated.
  • the control valves 73 are supplied with control signals via the control lines 73. Concretely, control signals are supplied which influence the current flowing through the respective electromagnet 57 of the respective valve 27, namely both with regard to the current intensity and with respect to the corresponding times at which the current flows or with respect to periods of the current flow.
  • control and / or regulating device 65 can refer to stored control curves 79 as a function of the input variables. These give time-dependent current intensities, with which the respective electromagnet 57 of the respective Valve 27 is acted upon. In principle, it is also conceivable that the control and / or regulating device 65 independently calculates such control signals as a function of predetermined regularities.
  • the control and / or regulating device 65 accesses a database 80 in which various sets of parameters, in particular selectable, are stored, which are to be glued to the cigarette pack 10 or to be glued Blank 11 are associated.
  • This set of parameters may include, for example, the engine speed 81.
  • the data memory 80 may include various glue drop sizes 82a-82d.
  • the operator can therefore choose, for example, which droplet size should be set for the respective cut. This selection can be done individually for each individual valve 27 of the group valve 26 in particular.
  • various glue dot patterns 83a-83c may be stored in the database 80.
