Diese Ausführung eignet sich insbesondere für eine Sammel- bzw. Zusammenstelltrommel in Multifilterherstellmaschinen mit mindestens zwei axial voneinander beabstandeten Reihen von Saugöffnungen, um eine entsprechende Anzahl von auf dem jeweiligen Aufnahmeelement axial hintereinanderliegenden, bevorzugt unterschiedlichen, Filtersegmenten zu haltern, indem also an der Außenseite jedes Aufnahmeelementes ein erstes Filtersegment durch eine von ersten Saugöffnungen im bewegbaren Körper erzeugte Saugluft und ein zweites Filtersegment durch eine von zweiten Saugöffnungen im bewegbaren Körper erzeugte Saugluft fixiert werden.Preferably, the receiving elements are provided on their outside with a plurality of preferably adjacent transversely to the conveying direction, inlets, on its inside with a plurality, preferably transverse to the conveying direction adjacent outlets and a plurality of connecting channels, which connect at least one inlet with at least one outlet. In this case, furthermore, at least one first row of conveying openings spaced apart first suction openings and at least one extending in the conveying direction, spaced from the first row transversely to the conveying direction second row of at least on the outside of the movable body of the conveying device in a standardized arrangement formed in the conveying direction spaced second suction openings. Since in this embodiment, the outlets are in a correspondingly standardized arrangement on the inside of the receiving elements, the arrangement of the receiving elements on the outside of the movable body of the conveyor has the consequence that at least one outlet in fluid communication with at least one of the suction openings in at least one the rows passes. This embodiment is particularly suitable for a collection or assembly drum in Multifilterherstellmaschinen with at least two axially spaced rows of suction openings to a corresponding number of axially axially behind the other, one behind the other, preferably different, filter segments to hold, ie on the outside of each receiving element a first filter segment is fixed by a suction air generated by first suction openings in the movable body and a second filter segment by a suction air generated by second suction openings in the movable body.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist es wichtig, eine Verwechslungssicherheit der Aufnahmeelemente zu gewährleisten. Hierfür böte sich zwar als einfache Lösung die Verwendung von farblichen Kennzeichnungen an; jedoch ist eine solche Lösung nachteilig, da eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Farbtönen erforderlich ist, die Gefahr besteht, dass als Additiv in den Werkstoff der Aufnahmeelemente eingebrachte Farbstoffe die Werkstoffeigenschaften in unerwünschter Weise verändern können, was insbesondere bei Spritzguss der Fall ist, gegebenenfalls einige der hier interessierenden Farbstoffe gar nicht mehr zulässig sind und letztendlich die geforderte Verwechslungssicherheit nicht gewährleistet werden kann, da eine unterschiedliche Farbgebung die Verwendung unterschiedlicher Aufnahmeelemente, also von Aufnahmeelementen für unterschiedliche Formate, grundsätzlich nicht verhindert werden kann. Deshalb wurde nach einer werkstoffneutralen, geometrischen und einfachen sowie gleichzeitig besonders wirkungsvollen Lösung gesucht, die darin gefunden wurde, dass erfindungsgemäß das mindestens eine Aufnahmeelement mit Eingriffsmitteln einer ersten Art und Eingriffsmitteln einer zweiten Art zu versehen ist, von denen die Eingriffsmittel der ersten Art eine spezifische Form, die in Abhängigkeit von dem spezifischen Format des am Aufnahmeelement aufzunehmenden Artikels individualisiert ist, und die Eingriffsmittel der zweiten Art eine gegenüber der Form der Eingriffsmittel der ersten Art im Wesentlichen komplementäre Form aufweisen und die Eingriffsmittel der ersten Art für einen lösbaren Eingriff mit an einem benachbarten Aufnahmeelement vorgesehenen Eingriffsmitteln der zweiten Art und die Eingriffsmittel der zweiten Art für einen lösbaren Eingriff mit an einem benachbarten Aufnahmeelement vorgesehenen Eingriffsmitteln der ersten Art ausgebildet sind. Beispielsweise ist in Bezug auf die Eingriffsmittel der ersten Art in Form von Eingriffsmitteln der zweiten Art eine Komplementärgeometrie an der gegenüberliegenden Seite des benachbarten Aufnahmeelementes ausgebildet. Demnach nutzt die vorliegende Erfindung das sog. Schlüssel-Schloss-Prinzip.In this context, it is important to ensure a certainty of confusion of the receiving elements. For this purpose, the simple solution would be the use of color coding; However, such a solution is disadvantageous because a variety of different shades required is the risk that introduced as an additive in the material of the receiving elements dyes can change the material properties undesirably, which is the case in particular in injection molding, possibly some of the dyes of interest here are no longer allowed and ultimately does not guarantee the required confusion can be, as a different color the use of different recording elements, ie recording elements for different formats, in principle can not be prevented. Therefore, a material-neutral, geometric and simple as well as particularly effective solution was sought, which was found in the invention to provide the at least one receiving element with engagement means of a first type and engagement means of a second type, of which the engagement means of the first type a specific Mold which is individualized depending on the specific format of the article to be received on the receiving element, and the engagement means of the second type have a substantially complementary shape to the shape of the engagement means of the first type and the engagement means of the first type for releasable engagement with a adjacent engagement member provided engaging means of the second type and the engagement means of the second type for releasably engaging with provided on an adjacent receiving element engagement means of the first type are formed. For example, with respect to the engagement means of the first type in the form of engagement means of the second type, a complementary geometry is formed on the opposite side of the adjacent receiving element. Accordingly, the present invention uses the so-called key-lock principle.
Durch die Verwendung von nur für ein spezifisches Format vorgesehenen Eingriffsmitteln lässt sich eine Codierung der Aufnahmeelemente realisieren, wodurch zum einen die Identifizierung der richtigen Aufnahmeelemente durch den Operator und zum anderen eine sog. Formatreinheit auf dem bewegbaren Körper der Fördervorrichtung gewährleistet wird.By using only provided for a specific format engagement means can be a coding of the receiving elements realize, whereby on the one hand the identification of the correct recording elements by the operator and on the other a so-called. Format purity is ensured on the movable body of the conveyor.
Bevorzugte Ausführungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Preferred embodiments and further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
So sind zweckmäßigerweise die Aufnahmeelemente jeweils für die Anordnung an einer individuellen definierten Position an der Außenseite des bewegbaren Körpers der Fördervorrichtung ausgebildet und lassen sich jeweils zwei benachbarte Aufnahmeelemente nur dann in ihren individuellen definierten Positionen an der Außenseite des bewegbaren Körpers der Fördervorrichtung anordnen, wenn an dem einen Aufnahmeelement Angriffsmittel der ersten Art vorgesehen sind, die sich in lösbaren Eingriff mit Eingriffsmitteln der zweiten Art bringen lassen, die am benachbarten anderen Aufnahmeelement vorgesehen sind. So ist eine Anordnung von Aufnahmeelementen nebeneinander nur dann möglich, wenn sie über zweite Eingriffsmittel verfügen, die im Wesentlichen komplementär zu den ersten Eingriffsmitteln ausgebildet sind. Demgegenüber ist für den Fall, dass die Eingriffsmittel der zweiten Art nicht komplementär zu den Eingriffsmitteln der ersten Art ausgebildet sind, ein gegenseitiger Eingriff der Eingriffsmittel jeweils zweier benachbarter Aufnahmeelemente ausgeschlossen, was dann dazu führt, dass die Aufnahmeelemente nicht ihre individuelle definierte Position an der Außenseite des bewegbaren Körpers der Fördervorrichtung einnehmen können.Thus, the receiving elements are expediently designed for the arrangement of an individually defined position on the outside of the movable body of the conveyor and can be arranged adjacent to each two adjacent receiving elements only in their individual defined positions on the outside of the movable body of the conveyor, if at the a receiving element engaging means of the first type are provided, which can bring in releasable engagement with engagement means of the second kind, which are provided on the adjacent other receiving element. Thus, an arrangement of receiving elements next to each other only possible if they have second engagement means which are formed substantially complementary to the first engagement means. In contrast, in the event that the engagement means of the second type are not formed complementary to the engagement means of the first type, a mutual engagement of the engagement means each two adjacent receiving elements excluded, which then results in that the receiving elements not their individual defined position on the outside of the movable body of the conveyor can take.
Ferner sind zweckmäßigerweise die Eingriffsmittel der ersten Art und die Eingriffsmittel der zweiten Art an unterschiedlichen Seiten, vorzugsweise an gegenüberliegenden, Seiten des Aufnahmeelementes angeordnet. Sofern das Aufnahmeelement eine längliche Form besitzt, sollten die Eingriffsmittel vorzugsweise an dessen Langseiten angeordnet sein.Furthermore, the engagement means of the first type and the engagement means of the second type are expediently arranged on different sides, preferably on opposite sides of the receiving element. If the receiving element has an elongated shape, the engagement means should preferably be arranged on its long sides.
Da die Aufnahmeelemente in der Regel dicht beieinander liegen, was insbesondere bei der sog. 4π-Teilung der Fall ist, entsteht eine Art Überlappungs- oder Berührungsbereich zwischen den einander zugewandten Seiten jeweils zweier benachbarter Aufnahmeelemente, was dann sozusagen von selbst zu einem gegenseitigen Eingriff der gegenüberliegenden Eingriffsmittel an beiden Aufnahmeelementen und somit zu einer Art Verzahnung jeweils zweier benachbarter Aufnahmeelemente führt, natürlich nur unter der Voraussetzung, dass die Eingriffsmittel der zweiten Art im Wesentlichen komplementär zu den Eingriffsmittel der ersten Art ausgebildet sind und somit in die Eingriffsmittel der ersten Art passen.Since the receiving elements are usually close to each other, which is the case in particular in the so-called. 4π pitch, creates a kind of overlap or contact area between the facing sides of each two adjacent receiving elements, which then, so to speak by itself to a mutual engagement of of course, only on the premise that the engagement means of the second type are formed substantially complementary to the engagement means of the first type and thus fit into the engagement means of the first type.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist es von Vorteil, die Eingriffsmittel derart auszubilden, dass jeweils zwei benachbarte Aufnahmeelemente derart miteinander in Eingriff gebracht werden, dass sie einen definierten Abstand voneinander haben, wobei insbesondere im Wesentlichen sämtliche Aufnahmeelemente äquidistant zueinander angeordnet sind.In this context, it is advantageous to form the engagement means in such a way that two adjacent receiving elements are engaged with each other in such a way that they have a defined distance from one another, wherein in particular substantially all receiving elements are arranged equidistant from one another.
Die durch die Eingriffsmittel repräsentierte Codierung lässt sich vorzugsweise besonders einfach durch die Ausbildung von Vorsprüngen und/oder Aussparungen unterschiedlicher Breite realisieren. Bei einer Weiterbildung dieser Ausführung weisen die Eingriffsmittel mindestens einen Vorsprung erster Art mit einem ersten Breitenmaß, einen Vorsprung zweiter Art mit einem zweiten Breitenmaß, eine Aussparung erster Art mit einer Öffnungsweite entsprechend dem ersten Breitenmaß und/oder eine Aussparung zweiter Art mit einer Öffnungsweite entsprechend dem zweiten Breitenmaß auf, so dass ein Vorsprung der ersten Art an dem einen Eingriffsmittel in eine Aussparung der ersten Art an dem anderen Eingriffsmittel und/oder ein Vorsprung der zweiten Art an dem einen Eingriffsmittel in eine Aussparung der zweiten Art an dem anderen Eingriffsmittel passt. Insbesondere die Festlegung von nur zwei unterschiedlichen Breitenmaßen erlaubt auf einfache und zugleich anschauliche Weise eine binäre Codierung. Beispielsweise ist es alternativ aber auch denkbar, die Codierung in Anlehnung an das römische Zahlensystem insbesondere im Bereich zwischen I und VIII sozusagen körperlich auszugestalten, wobei beispielsweise im Falle der Zahl "VI" ein breiter Vorsprung für "V" und ein schmaler Vorsprung für "I" steht.The coding represented by the engagement means can be realized particularly easily by the formation of projections and / or recesses of different widths. In a further development of this embodiment, the engagement means have at least one projection of the first type with a first width dimension, a projection of the second type with a second width dimension, a recess of the first type with an opening width corresponding to the first width dimension and / or a recess of the second type with an opening width corresponding to that second width dimension such that a protrusion of the first kind on the one engagement means fits into a recess of the first kind on the other engagement means and / or a protrusion of the second kind on the one engagement means fits into a recess of the second kind on the other engagement means. In particular, the definition of only two different width dimensions allows in a simple and at the same time illustrative way a binary coding. For example, it is alternatively also conceivable, so to speak, physically to design the coding based on the Roman numeral system, in particular in the region between I and VIII, wherein, for example, in the case of the number "VI" a broad projection for "V" and a narrow projection for "I " stands.
Bevorzugt können die Eingriffsmittel nicht nur zur lösbaren gegenseitigen Verzahnung, sondern auch gleichzeitig zur lösbaren, gelenkigen Kopplung der Aufnahmeelemente ausgebildet sein. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn die Fördervorrichtung als Rotationsfördervorrichtung ausgebildet ist, bei welcher als bewegbarer Körper eine drehbar gelagerte Trommel vorgesehen ist, deren Rotationsrichtung die Förderrichtung definiert. In einem solchen Fall können durch die gelenkige Kopplung mithilfe der Eingriffsmittel die Aufnahmeelemente sozusagen zu einem Ring verbunden werden, der auf der Oberfläche der Trommel anzuordnen ist.Preferably, the engagement means can be designed not only for releasable mutual toothing, but also simultaneously for detachable, articulated coupling of the receiving elements. This is particularly advantageous when the conveyor device is designed as a rotary conveyor, wherein as a movable body, a rotatably mounted drum is provided, whose direction of rotation defines the conveying direction. In such a case, by means of the articulated coupling by means of the engagement means, the receiving elements can be connected so to speak to form a ring which is to be arranged on the surface of the drum.

Dabei ist es wichtig, dass sämtliche Muldenelemente 6, mit denen die Außenseite 2a der Grundtrommel 2 bestückt wird, vom selben Format-Typ sind. Demnach ist eine Verwechslungssicherheit der Muldenelemente 6 zu gewährleisten. Hierzu sind die Muldenelemente 6, wie beispielhaft
Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die Eingriffsmittel 20 der ersten Art in Reihe nebeneinander liegend eine erste schmale Aussparung 21, einen ersten schmalen Vorsprung 22 und eine breite Aussparung 23 auf. Entsprechend komplementär sind die Eingriffsmittel 24 der zweiten Art gestaltet, die in Reihe nebeneinander liegend einen zweiten schmalen Vorsprung 25, der in die erste schmale Aussparung 21 passt, eine zweite schmale Aussparung 26, die den ersten schmalen Vorsprung 22 aufnimmt, und einen ersten breiten Vorsprung 27, der in die erste breite Aussparung 23 passt, aufweisen.

Da bei Montage auf der Außenseite 2a der Grundtrommel 2 die Muldenelemente 6 in der Regel dicht beieinander liegen, was insbesondere bei der sog. 4π-Teilung der Fall und im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel im Übrigen auch von der Anordnung und Ausbildung der Aussparung 4 vorgegeben ist, entsteht eine Art Überlappungs- oder Berührungsbereich zwischen den einander zugewandten Langseiten 6a jeweils zweier benachbarter Muldenelemente 6. Dies führt dann sozusagen von selbst zu einem gegenseitigen Eingriff der gegenüber liegenden Eingriffsmittel 20, 24 an beiden benachbarten Muldenelementen 6 und somit zu einer Art Verzahnung jeweils zweier benachbarter Muldenelemente 6, natürlich nur unter der Voraussetzung, dass die Eingriffsmittel 24 der zweiten Art komplementär zu den Eingriffsmitteln 20 der ersten Art ausgebildet sind und somit in der zuvor beschriebenen Weise in die Eingriffsmittel 20 der ersten Art passen. Somit ist eine Anordnung von Muldenelementen 6 nebeneinander nur dann möglich, wenn sie über zweite Eingriffsmittel 24 verfügen, die im Wesentlichen komplementär zu den ersten Eingriffsmitteln 20 ausgebildet sind. Demgegenüber ist für den Fall, dass die Eingriffsmittel der zweiten Art nicht komplementär zu den Eingriffsmitteln 20 der ersten Art ausgebildet sind, ein gegenseitiger Eingriff der Eingriffsmittel jeweils benachbarter Muldenelemente 6 ausgeschlossen, was dann dazu führt, dass die Muldenelemente 6 nicht ihre individuelle definierte Position, wie sie durch die Ausbildung und Anordnung der Aussparung 4 bestimmt wird, an der Außenseite 2a der Grundtrommel 2 einnehmen können.Since, when mounted on the outer side 2 a of the
