Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for staggering rod-shaped article segments of the tobacco processing industry, in particular filter rod segments, each article segment groups each with more than two longitudinally juxtaposed article segments in transverse axial conveying direction groups by means of a conveying member, in particular conveyor drum, a staggering device for staggering the article segments supplied become.
  • multi-segment filters consisting of different filter segments, such as different materials. These materials are, for example, cellulose acetate, paper, fluid, granules, sintered elements, hollow cylinders or hollow chambers, capsules and the like.
  • Such multi-segment filters composed of several filter segments, which also include the term "multiple filter" After forming groups of filter segments, for example, they are wrapped in a continuous process with wrapping material, such as paper, for example, and then divided into, in particular multi-long, multi-segment filter rods in order to be further processed.
  • the group forming device comprises two magazines for filter rods, wherein the multiply long filter rods are removed from the magazines individually, cut into filter segments and different cut filter segments are grouped together.
  • a device or machine of this type of HAUNI Maschinenbau AG, Hamburg, for the production of multi-segment filters with two different filter components is known under the name MULFI, wherein the devices may further also have a corresponding strand-forming device and / or a group-forming device.
  • filter rods are removed from a magazine and cut the filter rods each in filter plug for a predetermined filter stop length by means of cutting devices.
  • the filter rod length of the filter rods to be processed remains constant during the change.
  • EP 1 532 878 A1 discloses a staggering drum of the tobacco processing industry for conveying arranged in at least two parallel rows of rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, in particular filter segments, wherein conveyor discs are provided with receptacles for the articles and wherein at least two conveyor discs are provided for a number of articles.
  • Articles of the tobacco processing industry in the present context are understood to mean those products which, in one or more parallel rows, are conveyed on conveyors, e.g. on conveyor drums in filter or cigarette manufacturing machines, held and by these, preferably transaxially conveyed.
  • Such articles are filter cigarettes as well as filter rods, filter segments, etc. If, for the sake of simplicity, only filter rods or filter segments are discussed below, then what has been said also applies correspondingly to other articles of the aforementioned type to be conveyed.
  • the object of the invention is to article segments of the tobacco processing industry when staggering, especially narrow, article segments, such as filter rod segments, to handle safely.
  • the invention is based on the idea that when staggering Article segments, such as Filterstabsegmenten, a filter rod segment or more filter rod segments as an article segment subgroup on the staggering device, in particular staggered drum, staggered, with an article segment subgroup is arranged in a staggering step as a second article segment subgroup after the first article segment subgroup in the subsequent recording of the staggering device, not immediately adjacent the first-removed article segment sub-group from the provided article segment group is arranged on the transferring conveying member.

  • Segment 2 forms the article segment subgroup arranged on the staggering drum.
  • the segment 1 and segment 3 adjacent to the removed segment 2 are not transferred to the staggering drum. Instead, the outer segment 4 spaced apart by a segment length from segment 2 is arranged on the staggering drum after the transferred segment 2 of the segment group.

  • segment 3 is arranged as the last segment subgroup on the staggering drum.
  • the segment subgroups are staggered in the following order: Segment 2 - Segment 4 - Segment 1 - Segment 3.
  • segment subgroups are not moved in the longitudinal axial direction, so that the On the staggering drum arranged in succession staggered segments are not aligned in the longitudinal axial direction and thus in the longitudinal axial direction also have the same distances as on the preceding conveying member on which the article group was provided with the segments.
  • each article segment subgroup is staggered to consist of several filter segments, wherein in particular when several filter segments are provided for an article segment subgroup, the article segment subgroups each have the same or approximately the same number of article segments.
