Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for processing packaging material for cigarette packets.
  • the packaging material may be more or less stiff paper material or plastic material and the like, also more or less stiff.
  • Prior art devices which make notches and cuts in a packaging material operate on material which is in motion. In other words, these devices operate on the material as it moves along the production line. Further, these devices use cutters mounted, for example, on rollers or punches, which need a mating die in order to make the notch or cut.
  • the prior art devices are also characterized by the high costs involved in substituting worn cutters and mating dies.
  • This invention has for an aim to provide a device for processing packaging material for cigarette packets which overcomes the above mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide a device that is quick and easy to maintain and whose maintenance costs are limited.
  • the numeral 1 denotes in its entirety a device for processing packaging material 2 for cigarette packets.
  • the device 1 comprises a feed line 3 for the packaging material 2 and the packaging material 2 has a longitudinal lateral edge 4 which is substantially parallel with the feed line 3.
  • the device 1 also comprises a first device 5 for cutting the material 2 comprising at least one cutter profile 6 extending along a main longitudinal line 7 which is substantially parallel with the feed line 3 for the packaging material 2.
  • a first device 5 for cutting the material 2 comprising at least one cutter profile 6 extending along a main longitudinal line 7 which is substantially parallel with the feed line 3 for the packaging material 2.
  • cutting is used, as will become clearer as this description continues, to mean the making in the packaging material 2 of an open and/or closed notch 8 or the making of one or more lines of weakness 9.
  • the first cutting device 5 works at a first operating station 10 and with the packaging material 2 stationary. Also, according to the invention, the first cutting device 5 works on the above mentioned edge 4 of the packaging material 2 but it might also work simultaneously on opposite edges of the packaging material 2.
  • the packaging material 2 is unwound in a feed direction D along a feed path 11 defined between an infeed zone 12 and an outfeed zone 13 of the device 5. At the infeed zone 12 and outfeed zone 13, which are suitably spaced, the packaging material 2 engages respective tensioning means 14 and 15.
  • the feed path 11 has a first stretch 11a, which is located upstream, and a second stretch 11b, which is located downstream, of the first operating station 10, and more specifically, of the first cutting device 5, and where the first and second tensioning means 14 and 15 operate.
  • the first and second tensioning means 14 and 15 preferably consist of rollers 16, mounted in such a way as to be freely rotatable, at an eccentric position, on respective crank discs 17, which are rotatable about a horizontal axis of rotation transversal to the feed direction and at a constant angular speed in the direction indicated by the arrow F1, clockwise looking at Figure 1 in the case of the first tensioner 14, and by the arrow F2, anticlockwise looking at Figure 1 in the case of the second tensioner 15
  • crank discs 17 of the tensioning rollers 16 are driven in rotation through suitable transmission means, not illustrated, by a drive unit, also not illustrated.
  • the tensioning rollers 16 continuously vary the length of the feed path of the packaging material 2 in the first stretch 11a, upstream of the first operating station 10, and in the second stretch 11b, downstream of the first operating station 10, respectively. More specifically, an increase in the length of the packaging material feed path in the first stretch 11a of the path is accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the length of the packaging material feed path in the second stretch 11b, so that the total length of the feed path between the infeed zone and the outfeed zone remains constant
  • the alternate variations in the length of the packaging material feed path in the stretches upstream and downstream of the first operating station 10 are such as to determine zero relative speed of the material at the first operating station 10, on account of the material accumulated upstream of the first operating station 10 itself.
  • the circular movement of the tensioning rollers on which the packaging material is wound, driven in rotation by the crank discs, produces a loop of variable size at the stretches upstream and downstream of the first operating station 10.
  • the formation of the loop causes a continuous variation in the length of the packaging material feed path stretches upstream and downstream of the operating station 10.
  • the unwinding of the material determined by the simultaneous reduction in the length of the stretch of material downstream of the first operating station, controlled by suitable electronic control means, guarantees continuity of packaging material feed at the outfeed zone.
  • the reduction in the size of the loop in the first stretch of the packaging material feed path causes the material itself to be fed through the first operating station.
  • the above refers to a single operating station.
  • each cutting device operates simultaneously on two or more portions of the zero speed stretch between the infeed zone and the outfeed zone of the device.
  • each cutting device operates on a portion of the zero speed stretch which defines a single piece of material which will constitute the cigarette packet. More specifically, each cutting device operates on a stretch of the edge of the packaging material coinciding with a longitudinal edge of a piece of packaging material which will constitute the cigarette packet.
  • the packaging material is moved from the infeed zone to the outfeed zone with intermittent motion according to a step, or a multiple of it, equal to the longitudinal length of an individual piece.
  • the first cutting device 5 makes in the edge 4 of the material 2 a notch 8 where material is removed.
  • the first cutting device 5 makes in the edge 4 of the material 2 a notch 8 with a view to making a series of tongues 18 of a semirigid label or piece 21.
  • the tongues 18 define the bottom wall of the packet and the related inner closing tongues.
  • the device 1 further comprises a second cutting device 19 for the packaging material 2, also operating with the packaging material 2 stationary.
  • the second cutting device 19 operates at a second operating station 20 and makes at least one line of weakness 9 in the material.
  • the second operating station 20 may be located upstream (as illustrated with a dashed line in Figure 1 ) or downstream (as illustrated with a solid line in Figure 1 ) of the first operating station 10.
  • the second cutting device 19 which is of known type and therefore not described in detail, makes the lines of weakness 9 in a stretch t of packaging material 2 defining the individual piece 21.
  • the second cutting device 19 makes the lines of weakness 9 in synchrony with the feeding of the material 2.
  • the second cutting device 19 is located, relative to the first cutting device 5, at a distance equal to a step p, or a multiple of it, coinciding, according to what was said above, with the longitudinal dimension t of the piece 21.
  • the second operating station 20 is located upstream of the first, it is the first cutting device 5 which has to operate in synchrony with the second cutting device 19, in the same way as described above.
  • the packaging material 2 may be fed to the device 1 in the form of a continuous web 22, or in the form of a plurality of individual pieces (not illustrated) .
  • the packaging material is in the form of a continuous web 22 unwound from a roll, not illustrated, located upstream of the device 1.
  • the notch 8 and the lines of weakness 9 are made in the web 22 in the same way as that described above.
  • the web 22 must be cut along a direction transversal to the feed direction D so as to form the individual pieces 21 that will constitute the cigarette packet.
  • the individual pieces 21 may be cut off at any point in the device, or even outside it. Whatever the case, transversely cutting off the individual pieces 21 is preferably effected downstream of the second operating station 20, after the lines of weakness have been made in the packaging material. If the packaging material is in the form of a plurality of individual pieces, these are adjacent to one another as they are moved forward. That is because it is preferable for the web to be transversely cut upstream of the first operating station, or upstream of the device itself. Obviously, the pieces might be stacked in piles in a magazine and fed to the operating station one after the other.
  • the first cutting device 5 comprises a drum 23, having a cutter profile 6 rotating about an axis 24 which is parallel with the feed line 3 for the packaging material 2.
  • the drum 23 is located at the side of the feed line 3 and, more specifically, it is suitably located, relative to the stationary packaging material 2, in such a way that the main longitudinal line 7 of the cutter profile 6 lies, at the moment of cutting, in a plane which is substantially coplanar with the plane in which the packaging material 2 lies.
  • the drum 23 rotates with continuous motion and is of a size suitable to synchronize the cutting of the notch 8 with the feeding of the material 2.
  • the size of the drum is fixed also according to the size of the material to be processed and the speed of rotation is modified on the basis of the operating speed of the machine and hence according to variations in the length of time the packaging material remains stationary at the first operating station 10
  • the roller 23 is cutting the notch 8 along the edge 4 of the packaging material 2 and the second operating station is making the lines of weakness 9.
  • the roller 23 is rotating to return in synchrony towards its notch cutting position.
  • the first cutting device 5 has a fixed die plate 25 supporting the material 2, and a hold-down element 26, also fixed, placed on top of the packaging material 2 on the side of the packaging material 2 opposite the fixed die plate 25.
  • the fixed die plate 25 and the hold-down element 26 have an edge 27 ( Figure 4 ), which is aligned with the edge 4 of the packaging material 2. Both of the edges 27 have a profile 28 which reproduces in negative the cutter profile 6 of the drum 23.
  • the drum 23 is substituted for a cutter punch 28, having the same cutter profile 6 and able to move from a non-operating position to an operating position for cutting the material 2, along a straight trajectory, indicated by the arrows F. More specifically, the cutter punch 28 moves along a trajectory which is perpendicular to the plane in which the packaging material 2 lies, that is, it moves in a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the plane in which the packaging material 2 lies, and which is parallel with the predetermined direction of feed D of the packaging material.
  • the cutter profile 6 extends along a main longitudinal line 7 parallel to the feed line 3.
  • the cutter punch 28, to start with is located, at the non-operating position.
  • the punch is moved to the operating position where it cuts the notch 8 in the edge 4 of the packaging material 2.
  • the cutter punch 28 is moved back to the non-operating position so as not to hinder the feeding of the packaging material 2.
  • the cutter punch 28 has a cutter profile 6 which projects from a flat underside face and extends towards the packaging material 2. Further, the cutter profile 6 is shaped in such a way that it lies in the same plane as the packaging material 2 when the notch 8 is being cut.
  • the first cutting device has a cutter element which is, in this case, moved along a curved trajectory from a non-operating position to an operating position for cutting the packaging material.
  • the device described offers numerous advantages. First of all, the device has a simple constructional architecture which not only provides rapid access to all its parts but also allows its overall costs to be reduced.
  • the device lends itself to easy and economical retrofitting on existing machines.
  • the device is also characterized by high flexibility in terms of the size of the packaging material web and of the packet to be made. Indeed, substitution of parts in the event of changeover to a different size web of packaging material or packet is quick and easy. This reduces downtime and costs for changeover and maintenance.
  • the device described also allows the working life of its components to be significantly extended, since they do not require frequent substitution, especially the cutters which operate on the packaging.
  • the device can cut the notch correctly without necessitating a cutter blade which impacts strongly on the die plate itself.
  • the device allows cutter elements and blades to have a longer working life and reduces safety-related risks arising out of possible blade failure during operation.
