Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pocket conveyor for conveying objects, in particular groups of cigarettes, which has at least one rectilinear part conveyor section and at least one curved, preferably part-circular, partial conveyor section, and which has pockets for receiving the articles which are arranged along a belt-like, endless traction means and secured thereto , Wherein at least one pocket is pivotally mounted on the traction means about two, with a distance from one another, in the conveying direction successively arranged, parallel axes of rotation.
- Pocket conveyors with pivotally mounted pockets are known.
- the traction means is a toothed belt to which the pockets are fixed equidistantly.
- pocket conveyors are disclosed inter alia in the documents EP 0 437 201 A1 and EP 1 063 182 A1. If the distances between the axes of rotation are fixed, it comes in the solutions of the prior art in the region of the curved part conveyor line to tensions in the pockets. Because the arranged in the curved area with distance to the neutral fiber or the toothed belt soul parts of the bag there have to travel a longer way than the neutral fiber.
- the non-locating bearing comprises a slot, which is arranged on a connecting link of the pocket and extends essentially in the conveying direction, into which engages a bearing pin fixedly connected to the toothed belt.
- the bearing pin can move freely to adjust the rotational axis distance. In the curved area, the distance between the axes of rotation will automatically be set to a smaller value than within the rectilinear area.
- slot is disadvantageous because there can accumulate tobacco dust in the operation of the bag chain.
- the pocket is connected to the toothed belt via a rocker arm, which, as a result, also permits independent adjustment of the distance between the axes of rotation.
- the structure of this bag is structurally complex and prone to failure.
- a pocket conveyor with the features of claim 1. Accordingly, a pocket conveyor according to the invention is characterized in that the two successively arranged, mutually parallel axes of rotation each extend at a defined distance from the neutral fiber of the traction means of the pocket conveyor. This distance is dimensioned such that the distance between the two axes of rotation, which occurs when the entire pocket is in a region of the curved part of the conveyor line, substantially corresponds to the nominal distance between the axes of rotation. This in essence, without - if the entire bag is in the curved area - unwanted forces acting on the bag, which could move the axes of rotation towards each other or to move towards each other.
- pockets generally encompasses receptacles with which objects - or, in particular, cigarettes or cigarette groups when used in connection with packaging machines - can be transported.
- the above-mentioned nominal distance between the axes of rotation corresponds, according to the invention, to the distance of the axes of rotation at a moment in which the entire pocket is in the region of the rectilinear conveying path.
- the invention is based on the finding that in the event that the bag is stored so that the two axes of rotation in each case in a certain, ultimately dependent on the curvature of the partial conveying section and the nominal distance of the axes of rotation distance above the neutral fiber, in curved forces acting on the axes of rotation, which would make it necessary to adjust the distance between the axes of rotation. In the storage variants for the axes of rotation in the prior art, this is different.
- the distance of the axes of rotation of the neutral fiber of the traction means is selected such that the length of a chord of a second pitch circle concentric to a first pitch circle described by the neutral fiber in a region of the curved conveying path, and its radius to the selected Distance between the axes of rotation of the neutral fiber is greater than that of the first pitch circle, the nominal distance of the two axes of rotation corresponds.
- the two end points of the chord are defined by the two intersections of those two straight lines with the second pitch circle, which include the center point angle of a corresponding in its length to the nominal distance of the axis of rotation circular arc of the first pitch circle.
- the shape of the curved part conveyor section in a particularly important embodiment of the invention it is part-circular in shape and is ultimately defined by a deflection wheel which guides the traction means along this partial circle path.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a portion of a packaging machine for
- FIG. 2 shows the detail II of FIG. 1 in an enlarged view
- FIG. 3 shows a section through the pocket conveyor along the section line III-III in FIG.
- Fig. 4 shows a section through the pocket conveyor along the section line IV-IV in
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the detail V of FIG. 2,
- a conveyor 10 for conveying cigarette groups 1 1 is shown as part of a packaging machine for packaging cigarettes. Specifically, it is a pocket conveyor 10.
- the pocket conveyor 10 is formed as an endless conveyor with endless circulating traction means 12, in this case a toothed belt, and along the traction means 12 equidistantly arranged recordings or pockets 13th
- the pocket conveyor 10 is intermittently, that is, cyclically driven by driven by means of a motor, not shown Umienkyer 14, 15.
- the second guide wheel 15 in the same vertical plane and in identical (horizontal) height at a distance from the first Rear wheel 14 arranged.
- the traction means 12 is biased to a defined, predetermined by the distance of the Umienkcken 14, 15 length and runs endlessly in operation.
- cigarettes 18 coming from a cigarette magazine 17 are cyclically filled as cigarette groups 1 into individual pockets 13 of the pocket conveyor 10.
- the cigarette magazine 17 has arranged in a vertical plane wells 19, in which the individual cigarettes 18 are aligned horizontally aligned.
- Such cigarette magazines are known in the art.
- the individual shafts 19 of the cigarette magazine 17 each end approximately at the height of the upper run of the pocket conveyor 10, namely such that with a stationary pocket conveyor 10 each have a pocket 13 each assigned to a shaft 19 that the cigarettes 8 not shown on the push rod groups of the respective slot 19 can be pushed into the pocket 13 associated with each.
- the pocket conveyor 10 is moved further in the conveying direction (arrow direction in FIG. 1) until the next group of pockets 13 which are still unfilled at this time are aligned with the insertion station 16 along the shafts 19.
- the filled pockets 13 arranged in each case at the bottom or in the region of the lower run in FIG. 1 are then conveyed out of the pockets 13 located on the ejection station 20 at a discharge station 20 by means of a discharge conveyor 21.
- the conveying direction Specifically, at the same time two bags 13 are emptied at the Ausschubstation 20 by each of the respective pocket 13 associated driver 22 of the discharge conveyor 21, the cigarette groups 11 while taking the same out of the pockets 13 push out the discharge conveyor 21. The detected by the drivers 22 cigarette groups 11 are then further promoted for further handling in the packaging machine.
- the pocket conveyor 10 has areas with a straight conveying path (upper run, lower run), in which the pulling means 12 runs without bending. This applies, for example, to the areas in which the traction means 12 is moved past the insertion station 16 or the ejection station 20. Furthermore, there are curved conveyor sections, for example, where the traction means 12 along the guide wheels 14, 15 is guided. Finally, there are areas in which the non-curved conveyor line merges into the curved conveyor line.
- the pockets 13 are rotatably mounted, namely at two spaced apart at a distance T, parallel axes of rotation 23, 24.
- the axes of rotation 23, 24 are perpendicular to the conveying direction of the pocket conveyor 10 in the same (horizontal) plane.
- the distance T is referred to as the nominal distance which the axes of rotation have when the respective pocket 13 is located completely in the region of the rectilinear conveying path.
- the axes of rotation 23, 24 are each arranged in a particular manner at a certain distance X from the top 26 of the blank 12 on the pocket conveyor 10.
- each axis of rotation 23, 24 to the top 26 of the traction means 12 is identical in any case in the region of the rectilinear conveying path.
- the distance X is inventively chosen such that the distance T between the axes of rotation 23, 24 in the region of the curved conveying path the nominal distance T corresponds to the respective pocket 13 has in the region of the rectilinear conveying path, although no stresses in the pocket occur, which could reduce the nominal distance of the pocket in the region of the curved conveying path.
- the shortest distance between the two end points enclosing the arc I is less than the nominal dimension T.
- the arrangement of the two axes of rotation 23, 24 at a certain distance X above the neutral fiber 25 causes the distance T of the axes of rotation 23, 24 to each other, if the respective pocket 13 is in the region of the curved conveying path , Is identical to the distance T of the axes of rotation 23, 25, when the bag 13 is in the region of the rectilinear conveying path.
- the value of the distance X in which the aforementioned condition is met, depends on the nominal distance T between the axes of rotation 23, 24 and the radius of curvature of the traction means 12 in the curved region or the nominal radius R of the deflecting wheel 14 and 15, the determines the respective radius of curvature of the traction device. As a result, for X, the following depends on R and T: _. ⁇ ⁇ 360 ° 1
- Fig. 7 is illustrative of important steps in the mathematical derivation of this value for X.
- the distance X of the axes of rotation 23, 24 must be selected by the neutral fiber 25 of the traction means 12 so that the length of the chord S of the concentric with the pitch circle R extending pitch circle with the radius X + R the nominal distance of the two axes of rotation 23, 24 corresponds.
- S is defined by the two intersection points of the straight line d and G 2 enclosing the center angle ⁇ to the arc length T with the pitch circle with the radius X + R.
- the corresponding mounting of the pockets 13 on the traction means 2 is constructive, so that the axes of rotation 23, 24 have the distance X from the neutral fiber 25, as follows (cf.
- the lower pocket wall 27 has four connecting straps 28.
- two spaced-apart connecting straps 28 are assigned to the front, in the conveying direction leading end of the pocket 13, two correspondingly spaced-apart connecting straps 28 the rear, trailing end.
- connection pocket 28 is rotatably connected to the traction means 12 via a pivot bearing associated therewith.
- Each pivot bearing comprises a pin 29 fixedly connected to the respective connection tab 28.
- the two front connecting straps 28 is associated with a driver 30 to be recognized in FIGS. 3 to 5 together.
- the driver 30 extends transversely to the conveying direction and is firmly connected to the traction means 12.
- connection of the driver 30 with the traction means 12 is effected via fastening screws 31 which press a Unterlegplatte 32 from below against the underside of the traction means 12 and are screwed through the traction means 12 into the disposed on the upper side 26 of the traction means 12 driver 30.
- the screws 31 each pass through a sleeve 33 assigned to it, which likewise passes through the traction means 12.
- Each driver 30 has on opposite sides in each case a receptacle 34.
- each receptacle 34 engages in each case a free end of the associated pin 29 of the associated connection tab 28 and is rotatably mounted there in this way.
- the receptacles 34 and the pins 29 are each arranged at such a distance above the Weritzoberseite 26 that the axes of rotation 23, 24 through the position of the rotatably mounted in the receptacles 34 pins 29 is defined, are arranged in the above-described, defined distance X from the neutral fiber 25 of the traction means 12.
- the dimensions of the pins 29 on the one hand and the receptacles 34 on the other hand are matched to one another such that a slight, independent adaptability of the distance between the two axes of rotation 23, 24 is possible.
- the background is that, if necessary, in the moments in which the bag is in the transition region between the rectilinear conveyor line and the curved conveyor line, ie in which the respective pocket 13 is partly in the curved area and partially in the non-curved area, despite the inventive arrangement
- each driver receptacle 34 is partially embedded in an associated with her franking or recess 36 in the traction means 12th
- each in the same respective franking or recess 36 engages the free end 37 of the respective connecting strap 28 a.
- the flanks of each recess 36 in each case hold the associated free end 37 of the associated connection tab 28 and in each case the associated lower flank 35 of the associated catch receptacle 34 in position.
- the neutral fiber 25 of the traction means 12 is defined here by steel strands 38, which are embedded in Switzerlandstoffl Kunststoffsraum in the traction means 12.
- the deflection wheels 14, 15 As far as the deflection wheels 14, 15 are concerned, they have clearances 39 or recesses on their circumferential surfaces, into which heads of the fastening screws 31 projecting downwards over the underside of the pulling means 12 can dip as soon as the respective fastening screws 31 in the region of the deflection wheels 14 , 15 are located.
- the deflecting wheels 14, 15 are further arranged within a common, pressurized air housing 40 of the pocket conveyor 10.
- the housing 40 has a gap 41, in which a large part of the pulling means 12 rotates together with the pockets 13.
- seals 42 in this case labyrinth seals, against the environment.
- the interior 43 of the housing 40 is acted upon by compressed air during operation of the pocket conveyor 10 in order to prevent tobacco dust from penetrating the cigarette groups 11 via the gap 41 into the interior space 43 and thereby adding the deflection wheels 14, 15.
