Definitions

  • the invention relates to a strand guiding device, designed and arranged for guiding strands of the tobacco processing industry, comprising a housing having at least one strand passageway extending through the housing, wherein within the or each strand passage channel a format guide for the strand to be led is arranged, the or each Format guide is designed as a radially adjustable multipoint storage.
  • the invention relates to a measuring arrangement, designed and adapted for measuring strands of the tobacco processing industry, comprising a measuring head with at least one measuring station, wherein within the measuring head at least one strand passage channel is formed and the measuring head is assigned at least one strand guiding device for the strand to be measured ,
  • the invention also relates to a strand production machine for producing strands of the tobacco processing industry with a strand guiding device and / or a measuring arrangement.
  • Such strand guiding devices are used in the tobacco processing industry to guide strands, that is, endless strands or strand sections of tobacco, blends of tobacco, filter material or other materials and blends of materials suitable for making cigarettes, cigarillos or the like.
  • the strands and strand sections are subject due to their length or externally acting loads, for example by the transport or by other machining operations, such as the cutting operations for separating the strands in strand sections, vibrations.
  • vibrations and / or the sagging of a poorly-managed strand cause it to be subjected to additional stresses and, in particular, to fracture due to the high speeds at which the strands and strand sections are transported.
  • the strand guiding device usually comprises a format guide, which is known to be a format part which is closely tolerated with respect to its inner diameter with respect to the outer diameter of the strand to be transported and conveyed, so that the strand guided and transported in the format part lies in the format part with little play or play.
  • a format guide which is known to be a format part which is closely tolerated with respect to its inner diameter with respect to the outer diameter of the strand to be transported and conveyed, so that the strand guided and transported in the format part lies in the format part with little play or play.
  • Each usually permanently installed format part is in each case designed for a format, ie a strand diameter.
  • the guiding of the strands or strand sections is particularly important in measuring arrangements of the type mentioned at the beginning, since inaccurate guidance and the oscillation of the strands or strand sections lead to inaccurate measurement results.
  • the stations upstream and / or downstream of the measuring station initiate vibrations on the strand for the purpose of carrying out different machining operations and the transport itself, which vibrations lead to a negative influence on the measurement results.
  • the measuring arrangement has a guide, by means of which the vibrations are at least partially suppressed. More precisely, a strand guiding device is associated with the measuring head, by means of which the strand is calmed and guided.
  • a measuring arrangement with a strand guiding device or a strand production machine with a strand guiding device and / or a measuring arrangement strands or strand sections of different formats should be guided, measured and produced.
  • a brand change usually requires the adaptation of the format guide to a changed diameter of the strand.
  • the measuring arrangement by means of the or each measuring station, for example, the density of the strand, the nature and / or composition of the strand, the envelope or others Parameters are measured by optical measuring systems, by infrared technology or by other conventional measuring methods and measuring systems.
  • the document DE 1 180 662 discloses a strand guiding apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the format guide described therein is formed by a ring made of deformable material.
  • This ring is pressurized axially by means of an adjustable element, wherein the pressure changes lead to a change in the cross section of the ring.
  • this constructive solution involves a number of disadvantages that stand in the way of an exact measurement.
  • the ring of deformable material ensures insufficient centering, since the center can move through the change of the guide cross-section of the ring.
  • the center of the guide ring is not reproducibly adjustable, which leads to measurement inaccuracies.
  • the desired high measurement accuracy requires a very small annular gap between the strand and the guide body.
  • a guide ring made of deformable material therefore, there is a risk of trapping, since the guide ring and the actuating element are only indirectly in operative connection with each other.
  • the guide ring is made of a deformable, compliant material, which equates to unfavorable hysteresis behavior. This means that the guide ring can continue to deform even after the introduction of the axial adjustment force. A tightly tolerated leadership can not be achieved.
  • the invention is thus based on the object to provide a strand guiding device which ensures the guiding of different formats in a simple and reliable manner. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a measuring arrangement by means of which different formats can be checked easily and reliably. The object continues to be to propose a corresponding strand production machine.

  • a format-independent strand guiding device is created, with the aid of which a so-called "quick-size change" can be made possible.
  • the strand guiding device ensures maximum flexibility in adapting the format guide to different diameters of the strands to be led.
  • An adaptation can be done by this training without modification, which significantly reduces the changeover times, for example, a brand change.
  • a format guide according to the invention an individual and continuous adjustment of the format guide to all diameters in a defined range, for the strands / strand sections of the tobacco processing industry, for example, between 3 and 12mm, reliably ensured.
  • the adjustment mechanism is achieved that the format guide or more precisely the guide body at standstill or when changing a format are radially outwardly adjustable to provide a larger passage area and preferably automatically in operation radially inwardly to the narrower pass area whose diameter is about the Diameter of leading strands corresponds, are adjustable.
  • a particularly accurate annular gap between the guide bodies and the leading strand can be set. Due to the rigid operative connection, the adjusting movement of the adjusting mechanism is directly and reproducibly transferable to the guide body, so that the center always has an identical position regardless of the format size, whereby a high measurement accuracy can be achieved. This further ensures that the annular gap between the guide bodies and the leading strand can be set exactly, resulting in a further reduction of the risk of clamping.
  • all guide bodies are arranged in the circumferential direction of the leading strand with a distance from one another.
  • no annular, surrounding the entire circumference guide is provided, but rather a point guide, whereby the risk of clamping is reduced.
  • each format guide has three guide bodies distributed uniformly over the circumference.
