Abstract

Description

P0006PC00/JM
Compression unit, press and method of compressing tobacco cut filler
The object of the invention is a compression unit, a press and a method of compressing tobacco cut filler used for cigarette manufacturing.
Tobacco cut filler may be stored and transported in boxes, where it is usually compressed so as to utilize the volume of the box to the maximum extent. For tobacco cut filler compression, presses with hydraulic and pneumatic drive are commonly used. A high degree of cut filler compression requires the use of actuators with a large working stroke. An alternative solution is double compression, where before the second compression additional cut filler feeding takes place, using an actuator with a shorter working stroke. Such solution has the disadvantage that it extends the box filling cycle by the time needed for withdrawing a compressing element from a compression area, placing a feed conveyor in working position above a compression chamber, feeding tobacco cut filler into the compression chamber, and then withdrawing the feed conveyor and shifting the compressing element to the compression area.
State of the art
From the publication US 4,572,065 a press driven by a hydraulic actuator in which the compressing element is a heavy metal plate with rectangular shape is known. The compression takes place in two stages, where the second compression takes place after feeding an additional cut filler portion by means of a feed conveyor inserted into the space just below a compressing element P0006PL00/JM 2 when a drive actuator of the compressing element takes its upper position. After the compression, a bale of tobacco or tobacco cut filler is pulled out of the compression chamber.
On the other hand, from the publication DE 34 05 182 a solution is known in which tobacco cut filler is pressed directly in the box in which it will be stored or transported. The bottom part of a charging hopper is inserted into the box which will be removed after the compression of cut filler, and a feed conveyor is situated above the charging hopper below a compressing element.
From the publication WO 2005/013732 a cut filler press provided with a movable charging hopper which moves down in order to enable feeding of cut filler by a feed conveyor is known.
On the other hand, the publication US 3,782,275 has disclosed a rigid lightweight design of the compressing element of a press for forming hay bales. The compressing element consists of several elements forming a common compression surface.
In view of the expectation of manufacturers that the pressing process takes as shortest time as possible, the working cycle of the press should be optimised in such a way as to limit the number of preparatory movements such as shifting and withdrawing the feed conveyor.
The object of the present application is to build a press enabling an optimisation of the working cycle of the press.
The subject matter of the invention is a tobacco cut filler compression unit characterised in that it has movable compressing elements positioned in such a way that, in a compression cycle, they alternately open and close charging passages connecting a tobacco cut filler feeding area with a compression area.

Fig. 1, 2 and 3 show a compression unit 1 in a first embodiment situated between a cut filler feeding area 2 and a compression area 3, where the compression area 3 is situated within a box 5. The compression unit 1 is provided with cylindrical bars 4 connected in pairs, where each pair is swivel-mounted around an axis 6. In Fig. 1 , the pairs of cylindrical bars 4 with their axes 6' are situated in a horizontal plane; such position of cylindrical bars 4 is used for tobacco cut filler compression. Fig.2 shows pairs of the bars 4 after rotating around the axis 6 so that the axes 6' are situated in a vertical plane by means of drive train elements 7 connecting pairs of the bars 4, resulting in forming charging passages 8 between the cut filler feeding area 2 and the compression area 3. In the cut filler feeding area 2 a feeding conveyor 11 is situated which may be designed as stationary or may make movements enabling even distribution of cut filler within the area of operation of the compression unit 1. The cylindrical bars 4 can be designed made in such a way that they can P0006PL00/JM 5 rotate around their own axes 6' in order to drop cut filler fibres which may deposit on the bars 4. The bars 4 can be made as bars of polygonal or oval section; they can be also made as openwork cylinders. For reasons of simplification, the fastening of the compression unit 1 to the drive unit of the press has not been shown in the drawing.
In order to perform the compression of tobacco cut filler, the box 5 is placed in the area of operation of the compression unit 1 below said unit, resulting in forming the compression area 3, wherein the pairs of cylindrical bars 4 are positioned in such a way that their axes 6' are situated in a vertical plane, resulting in forming charging passages 8 through which cut filler from the conveyor 11 situated in the cut filler feeding area 2 is poured to the compression area 3. After pouring a cut filler portion to the compression area 3, the pairs of cylindrical bars 4 are turned and positioned with their axes 6' in a horizontal plane in order to close charging passages 8, and the compression unit 1 is lowered in order to compress cut filler. After compressing the first cut filler portion the compression unit 1 is withdrawn, remaining above the compression area 3 and under the feed conveyor 11 , and the cylindrical bars 4 are again turned around the axis 6 and positioned with their axes in a vertical plane, resulting in opening the charging passages 8 in order to pour cut filler from the feeding area 2 to the compression area 3. For the purpose of effective cut filler compression during a compression cycle, cut filler may be added several times.
Fig. 4 and 5 show a compression unit 1' in a second embodiment situated between the cut filler feeding area 2 and the compression area 3. The unit 1' is provided with plates 9 which are designed for making a horizontal movement so that they slide over each other. In Fig. 4 the plates 9 are positioned in such a way that charging passages 8 are closed, and the plates 9 form a surface which will be a pressure surface serving for compression. In Fig. 5 the plates 9 are slid over each other, resulting in charging passages 8. The plates 9 can be made as solid or openwork plates. In order to keep the clarity of the drawing, typical mechanisms shifting the plates 9 have not been shown.
In order to perform the compression of tobacco cut filler, the box 5 is placed in the area of operation of the compression unit 1' below said unit, resulting in forming the compression area 3, where the plates 9 are situated in such a way that they slide over each other, resulting in forming charging passages 8 through which cut filler from the cut filler feeding area 2 is poured to the compression area 3. After pouring a cut filler portion to the compression area 3, the plates 9 are shifted so as to close charging passages 8 and form a surface which will press cut filler, and the compression unit 1' is lowered in order to compress cut filler. After compressing the first cut filler P0006PL00/JM 6 portion the compression unit 1' is withdrawn, remaining above the compression area 3 and under the feed conveyor 11 , and the plates 9 are slid over each other again, resulting in opening the charging passages 8 in order to pour cut filler from the feeding area 2 to the compression area 3. For the purpose of effective cut filler compression during a compression cycle, cut filler may be added several times.
Fig. 6 and 7 show a compression unit 1" in a third embodiment situated between the cut filler feeding area 2 and the compression area 3. The unit 1" is provided with plates 9 which are designed for making a movement being a composition of rotational and linear motion. Axes 10 situated along lateral edges of the plates 9 are designed for making vertical motion, whereas the plates 9 make rotational motion around the axes 10 so that the edges opposite to those along which the axes 10 are situated are maintained at a principally constant height from the bottom of the compression chamber. The plates 9 may be designed as solid or openwork plates.
In order to perform the compression of tobacco cut filler, the box 5 is placed in the area of operation of the compression unit 1" below the unit, resulting in forming the compression area 3, where the plates 10 situated along lateral edges of the plates 9 are raised, and the plates 9 themselves are situated in principle vertically, resulting in opening charging passages. After pouring a cut filler portion from the conveyor 11 situated in the feeding area 2 to the compression area 3, the plates 9 are shifted so as to close charging passages 8 and form a surface which will press cut filler, and the compression unit 1" is lowered in order to compress cut filler. After compressing the first cut filler portion the compression unit 1" is withdrawn, remaining above the compression area 3 and under the feed conveyor 11 , and the plates 9 are raised again by means of a movement being a composition of rotational and linear motion to a principally vertical position, resulting in opening the charging passages 8 in order to pour cut filler from the feeding area 2 to the compression area 3. For the purpose of effective cut filler compression during a compression cycle, cut filler may be added several times.
