Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a filter rod manufacturing machine and a filter rod manufacturing method for manufacturing a filter rod several times longer than a filter prior to manufacturing of a filter cigarette including a thread into which an additive liquid is impregnated inside the filter.
  • a manufacturing machine of this type includes a wrapping section for wrapping a filter tow with a wrapping material into a rod shape to form a tow rod, a cutting unit so disposed downstream of this wrapping section as to cut the tow rod into filter rods, and a thread feed-out unit for feeding an additive-impregnated thread into the filter tow in a process of conveying the filter tow toward the wrapping section (see FIG. 3 of Patent Document 1, for example).
  • each filter rod includes the additive-impregnated thread in its filter tow.
  • the thread feed-out unit of Patent Document 1 includes a feed-out path of a thread member extending from a feed reel of the thread toward the wrapping section and a liquid tank disposed in this feed path, an additive liquid is reserved in this liquid tank, and a flavor is dissolved in this additive liquid.
  • the thread member is conveyed through the additive liquid in the liquid tank before being fed into the filter tow, thereby impregnating the additive liquid into the thread member to obtain the additive-impregnated thread.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. S55-58084 ( JP1980-58084 A )
  • the above described thread feed-out unit of Patent Document 1 further includes a thread guide and a thread nozzle in the thread feed-out path downstream of the liquid tank, and the thread guide and the thread nozzle enable the additive-impregnated thread to be accurately fed into the filter tow.
  • the additive-impregnated thread slidingly comes into direct contact with the thread guide and the thread nozzle, the additive-impregnated thread is compressed by the thread guide and the thread nozzle, so that the additive liquid may be squeezed from the additive-impregnated thread.
  • This causes variation in impregnated amount of the additive liquid into the additive-impregnated thread, that is, variation in content of the additive per filter rod, and this variation deteriorates quality of the filter rods.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a filter rod manufacturing machine and a filter rod manufacturing method capable of effectively reducing variation in impregnated amount in terms of the impregnated amount of an additive liquid contained in an additive-impregnated thread in each filter rod.
  • a filter rod manufacturing machine of the present invention includes:
  • the thread member is fed into the filter tow located more downstream than the merging position between the filter tow and the wrapping material, and the additive liquid is discharged toward this thread member at the same time.
  • the additive-impregnated thread made by impregnating the additive liquid into the thread member is not formed outside the filter tow, but inside the filter tow; thus it is possible to eliminate the aforementioned thread guider and thread nozzle for leading the additive-impregnated thread into the filter tow.
  • the additive-impregnated thread does not slidingly come into direct contact with the thread guide and the thread nozzle; therefore, it is prevented that the thread guide and the thread nozzle squeeze the additive liquid from the additive-impregnated thread, and then the squeezed additive liquid adheres to the thread guide and the thread nozzle. Accordingly, variation in impregnated amount of the additive liquid is suppressed in terms of the impregnated amount of the additive liquid contained in the additive-impregnated thread per filter rod.
  • the wrapping section includes the tong so located downstream of the merging position as to squeeze the filter tow into a rod shape, and in this case, the thread feed-out end and the liquid discharge outlet are preferably disposed inside the tong.
  • the thread feed-out end and the liquid discharge outlet are disposed inside the tong as described above, the thread feed-out end and the liquid discharge outlet are surrounded by the filter tow in a process of forming the filter tow into a rod shape. Hence, even if part of the additive liquid discharged from the liquid discharge outlet is not impregnated into the thread member, the part of the additive liquid is prevented from adhering to the adjacent filter tow, and thus the tong and the wrapping material are prevented from being unclean with this additive liquid.
  • the liquid discharge outlet is preferably disposed at the front end of the liquid supply nozzle. This configuration minimizes the insertion length of the liquid supply nozzle into the tong.
  • the liquid supply nozzle may extend immediately under the thread feed-out nozzle, and the liquid discharge outlet may upwardly open.
  • the additive liquid upwardly discharged from the liquid discharge outlet is so applied to the lower surface of the thread member as to be impregnated into the thread member. With the liquid discharge outlet upwardly opening, the additive liquid is prevented from oozing out from the liquid discharge outlet because of gravity even if the additive liquid is stopped to be discharged from the liquid discharge outlet.
  • liquid supply nozzle and the thread feed-out nozzle are integrally supported by a common holder plate.
  • the present invention also provides a filter rod manufacturing method carried out by the aforementioned manufacturing machine.
  • the filter rod manufacturing machine and the filter rod manufacturing method of the present invention form the additive-impregnated thread in the filter tow; therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress variation in impregnated amount of the additive liquid in terms of the impregnated amount of the additive liquid contained in the additive-impregnated liquid per filter rod.
  • a filter cigarette FC includes a cigarette C, and a filter F connected to a base end of the cigarette C by wrapping them with a tipping paper TP.
  • the filter F includes a flavor-impregnated thread FT thereinside, and the flavor-impregnated thread FT contains a flavor.
  • the filter F is produced by cutting a filter rod FR shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the filter rod FR includes a filter tow T formed of a bundle of acetate fibers, a wrapping material for wrapping the filter tow T into a rod shape, that is, a wrapping paper WP, and the flavor-impregnated thread FT disposed at a center of the filter tow T.

  • the manufacturing machine includes a tow bale formed of acetate fibers, that is, the filter tow T in a web shape, and the filter tow T forms a pile 12 on a wagon 10.
  • a conveyance path 16 of the filter tow T extends from the pile 12 toward a tow converging section 14, and in this conveyance path 16, there are sequentially disposed a ring guide 18, a first banding jet 20, a second banding jet 22, pretension rolls 24, blooming rolls 26, a third banding jet 28, an plasticizer applying unit 30, and conveyance rolls 32 in the order from the pile 12 of the filter tow T.
  • the first to third banding jets 20, 22, 28 respectively inject compressed air to the filter tow T, and this injection of the compressed air opens crimped acetate fibers, thus opening the filter tow T.
  • the pretension rolls 24 apply a predetermined tension to the filter tow T, and the blooming rolls 26 stretch out the filter tow T incorporation with the pretension rolls 24 therebetween.
  • the applying unit 30 evenly applies liquid triacetin as a plasticizer to the filter tow T. Subsequently, the filter tow T is conveyed from the conveyance rolls 32 to the tow converging section 14.
