Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport device for the production of rod-shaped products of the tobacco-processing industry having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • rod-shaped products of the tobacco processing industry are generally understood as cigarettes, cigarillos or their filters, which are covered by a shell material.
  • the products are produced in an automatic, continuous production process, wherein the wrapping material is supplied in the form of a web, in the wrapping material tobacco or filter material is inserted, and the wrapping web is then glued to form a rod-shaped strand.
  • the rod-shaped products are then cut off in a predetermined length of the strand and further processed.
  • a system is provided with a plurality of transport devices with rotatably drivable transport drums, which have at their outer peripheries a plurality of wells in which the products are held during transport by means of a negative pressure.
  • the products are transferred from the wells of the transferring transport drum by lifting the negative pressure in the wells and by a negative pressure in the wells of the receiving transport drum.
  • the transfer process can be additionally supported by a slight overpressure in the transferring troughs.
  • the leading into the troughs compressed air lines For cleaning or removal of the products at other points of the circumference of the transport drums are pressurized with compressed air.
  • the leading into the troughs compressed air lines are fluidically connected at one or more points of the circumference of the transport drum with a compressed air system of the transport device.
  • the arrangement of the points on the circumference of the transport drums on which the products are taken, transferred or removed or at which the compressed air lines are blown out for cleaning, ie where the wells are subjected to positive or negative pressure, is dependent on the function and the arrangement of the respective transport drum in the transport of the products.
  • the loading of the wells with negative pressure or with overpressure is controlled by a fixed control flange with fixed control edges around which rotates the driven transport drum.
  • the control flange with the control edges forms a radially inner sealing surface against which the transport drum rests with its radially inner side.
  • Such a transport device is for example from the DE 10 2011 082 621 A1 known.
  • control edges on the control flange are basically designed to be fixed, wherein the control edges for converting the Transport device can be arranged on exchangeable intermediate pieces, so that the peripheral point, where the wells are subjected to pressure or negative pressure can be changed by the use of another intermediate piece with a different control edge or by the replacement of the entire control flange.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is the fact that the transport device must be dismantled to exchange the intermediate piece to a considerable extent. As a result, the changeover process takes a relatively long time and leads to an unnecessarily long standstill of the transport device. In addition, various intermediate pieces must be held, whereby the storage and production costs are increased.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a transport device in which the peripheral locations where the troughs are subjected to negative pressure or pressure can be changed in less time and with less effort.
  • an adjustable intermediate piece is provided on the control flange on which the at least one control edge is arranged whose relative position with respect to the control flange can be changed by means of an adjusting device.
  • the position of the control edge can take place be actively changed by the previously required replacement of the intermediate piece now by means of the adjustment of the intermediate piece on the setting without the intermediate piece needs to be replaced.
  • the invention allows an active readjustment of the position of the control edge with the built-in adapter, which was not possible according to the previously applied solution, since the position of the control edge previously solely on the geometry of the spacer and its mounting position was dependent and not after installation of the intermediate piece could be changed.
  • a disassembly of the intermediate piece itself is therefore no longer necessary, it is sufficient that the transport device is disassembled so far until the adjustment is accessible.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that now only a single spacer must be used, instead of the various intermediate pieces so far, so that the storage and manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced.
  • the changeover time and the conversion costs can be reduced to a minimum, when the adjuster is freely accessible through an actuating opening from the outside. From the outside is to be understood that the adjustment process can be made without the adapter itself must be made accessible.
  • the actuating opening is provided in a plate or other cover of the device, which serves to protect the transport device or to protect the parts covered by it. This may be an outer cover or a cover of a subassembly of the transport device. If the actuating opening is provided in the outer cover and optionally continues in underlying covers, the position of the control edge can be made solely by operating the adjustment without having to dismantle part of the transport device.
  • a particularly easy accessibility of the adjusting device can be created by the actuating opening is arranged on the free end face of the transport device.
  • the transport device is attached to one side of a fixed machine frame and protrudes from this, so that an end face of the transport device is considered free and is therefore particularly easy to access.
  • the adjustment is self-locking.
  • self-locking can be prevented without additional security measures that moves the adapter after the adjustment automatically back from the set target position.
  • the self-locking is designed so that the adjustment is considered to be self-locking under the forces acting during normal operation forces.
  • the intermediate piece is spring-loaded perpendicular to the adjustment direction.
  • the acting spring force of the adjusting movement is opposed by a counter force, so that the adjustment movement can be performed more accurately as a whole.
  • the spring force can also be aligned so that it basically pushes the intermediate piece against a contact surface on the control flange and thereby additionally fixes the intermediate piece on the control flange.
  • a toothing may be provided on the intermediate piece or on the control flange, and the adjusting device may be formed by a gear rotatably mounted on the respective other part and meshing in the toothing.
  • the proposed Embodiment of the adjuster is structurally particularly simple design and allows immediate adjustment of the intermediate piece.
  • the setting of the desired position of the intermediate piece can be made particularly simple and accurate, if on the transport device, a position representing the intermediate piece display is provided.
  • the display By means of the display, the position of the intermediate piece can be checked without the intermediate piece itself having to be visible from the outside.
  • the display also provides a means of control, by means of which a check of compliance with the desired position of the intermediate piece is also possible during operation of the transport device. If an automated control is provided, a sensor device for sensing the actual position of the intermediate piece can also be provided on the setting device, the signal of the sensor device then being used to control the setting device and / or to generate a signal displayed.
  • the adjusting device comprises a transmission that reduces the adjusting movement. Due to the setting movement reducing gear, the adjustment movement can be made much more accurate. Furthermore, this can also causes the advantageous self-locking of the adjuster in the driven direction or at least supported.
  • the adjusting device has an actuator for an at least semi-automatic adjustment of the intermediate piece.
  • the actuator By the actuator, the adjustment of the intermediate piece and thus the control edge on simplified and further improved with the use of appropriate sensor signals and a corresponding accuracy of the actuator with regard to the accuracy of the setting of the control edge. In particular, thereby a required accessibility of the adjustment from the outside can be omitted.
  • a transport device 1 according to the invention with a rotatably drivable transport drum 2 can be seen.
  • a plurality of parallel to the axis of rotation of the transport drum 2 aligned wells 3 and 4 are provided.
  • the transport device 1 can be fastened via an annular flange 24 to a machine frame (not shown).
  • the transport device 1 is provided with a cover 7, in which an actuating opening 5 is provided, under which an adjuster 6, which will be described later, is arranged.
  • the transport drum 2 is ring-shaped and rotationally driven by means of an unrecognizable drive means. During the drive movement, the transport drum 2 rotates about a fixed control flange 9, which is attached via the annular flange 24 on the machine frame.
  • FIG. 3 the same transport device 1 can be seen in a sectional view through the control flange 9 and the transport drum 2.
  • a complex compressed air line system is provided, with the various compressed air chambers 16 can be acted upon by pressure or negative pressure.
  • the transport drum 2 also has a complex compressed air line system with a plurality of compressed air lines 17, which each open into the wells 3 and 4 and are accessible on the radially inner side of the transport drum 2 via openings. Further, a fixed intermediate piece 11 is held on the control flange 9 between the control flange 9 and the transport drum 2.
  • the intermediate piece 11 is formed as a segment of a ring and rests with a radially inner sealing surface 21 on a radially outer in cross section circular arc-shaped sealing surface 22 of the control flange 9. Furthermore, a fixed sealing surface 19 is provided on the intermediate piece 11 radially on the outside, against which the annular transport drum 2 rests with a radially inner sealing surface 20. During the rotation of the transport drum 2, a fluidic connection between the compressed air chambers 16 is thereby produced in certain first portions of the circumference of the control flange 9 and repealed in certain second sections of the circumference of the control flange 9.
  • the intermediate piece 11 also has two laterally projecting pins 13 and 14, on each of which a spring 10 and 12 mounted with a first end is. The springs 10 and 12 are attached with their other second ends to the control flange 9 and pull the spacer 11 against the control flange 9, so that the intermediate piece 11 bears against the sealing surface 22 of the control flange 9 with a contact pressure.
  • the peripheral point at which the flow connection between the compressed air chamber 16 shown by way of example is interrupted during a rotary movement of the transport drum 2 in the clockwise direction is defined in the present embodiment by the position of a control edge 15 provided on the intermediate piece 11.
  • an adjusting device 6 in the form of a rotatably mounted on the control flange 9 gear is provided on the transport device 1.
  • the intermediate piece 11 in turn has on the radially inner sealing surface 21 a recess 23 with a arranged in the bottom of the recess 23 teeth 18 in which the gear meshes.
  • the toothed wheel further comprises a force application surface exposed by the actuating opening 5, for example in the form of an inside or outside key surface, by means of which the toothed wheel can be rotated from the outside.
  • the intermediate piece 11 can be displaced via the toothing 18 either clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the control flange 9 as a function of the direction of rotation of the toothed wheel.
  • the position of the control edge 15 and thus the circumferential point at which the compressed air line 17 is closed can be adjusted. Since the adjusting device 6 is accessible from the outside through the actuating opening 5, the transport device 1 for adjusting the position of the control edge 15 does not have to be dismantled.
  • the adjustment of the adjuster 6 is through the dimensioning of the length of the toothing 18 predetermined and is displayed recognizable by a display 8 from the outside.
  • the display 8 represents the position of the control edge 15 to the outside, so that the position of the control edge 15 can be finely adjusted by a visual control of the display 8.
  • the springs 10 and 12 substantially exert a radially inwardly directed tensile force on the intermediate piece 11.
  • the orientations of the springs 10 and 12 change at least slightly in an inclined position in the direction of the circumference, so that the springs 10 and 12 also exert a restoring force directed towards the center position on the intermediate piece 11.
  • the adjustment movement of the control edge 15, starting from a center position always takes place against a spring force, which makes the adjustment slightly more difficult, but improves the accuracy of the adjustment movement.
  • the adjustment movement of the intermediate piece 11 can be further improved by a directed in the direction of adjustment guide is provided between the intermediate piece 11 and the control flange 9.
  • This guidance may e.g. be formed by a grouping of grooves and ribs in the sealing surfaces 21 and 22.
  • the guide may also be provided in the adjusting device 6.
  • the adjuster 6 may include a reduction gear reducing gear, whereby the fine adjustment is simplified.
  • the adjusting device 6 comprises in the present embodiment, an externally accessible gear. If the adjusting device 6 also comprises an actuator which can be actuated or actuated from the outside, immediate accessibility of the adjusting device from the outside is not necessary. In this case, the display 8 gains an additional Meaning, since this then allows control of the current position of the intermediate piece 11 and the control edge 15 despite the lack of accessibility. Furthermore, in this case the display 8 can also be generated by using sensor signals of a sensor device which senses the position of the intermediate piece 11 or the control edge 15, wherein the sensor signals can then also be utilized to control the actuator by means of an automatic control of the position of the control edges 15 ,
