Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reject station and method for expelling a flawed group of cigarettes from a pocket of a cigarette packing machine group-forming conveyor.
  • a cigarette packing machine comprises a group-forming unit for groups of cigarettes.
  • the group-forming unit comprises a hopper containing a mass of cigarettes and is provided with at least one lower outlet mouth, a group-forming conveyor which is located in front of the hopper lower outlet mouth and supports a number of group-forming pockets, and a pusher which cyclically extracts a group of cigarettes from the hopper lower outlet mouth and inserts the group of cigarettes in a pocket of the group-forming conveyor.
  • the group-forming conveyor is provided with a control station which is arranged downstream from the hopper and performs a filling optical control of the cigarette tips (i.e. verify if the cigarette tips contain an adequate amount of tobacco).
  • the group-forming conveyor is provided with a reject station which is arranged downstream from the control station and is operated by the control station itself to eliminate from the corresponding pocket a flawed group of cigarettes (i.e. containing at least one flawed cigarette, that is at least a cigarette having an insufficient filling of the tip).
  • a flawed group of cigarettes i.e. containing at least one flawed cigarette, that is at least a cigarette having an insufficient filling of the tip.
  • the known reject stations normally comprise a pusher, which is movable perpendicularly to the group-forming conveyor and is operated to be inserted inside a pocket so as to push out from the pocket itself a flawed group of cigarettes to be rejected; a bin is located underneath the group-forming conveyor and at the reject station, inside which the rejected group of cigarettes (i.e. expelled from the pocket by the pusher of the reject station) falls by gravity.
  • the rejected cigarettes in the bin are not normally discharged, but treated to recuperate the tobacco content therein which may be re-introduced in the packaging process.
  • a pack of cigarettes has been proposed containing a group of cigarettes formed by cigarettes being different one from the other, i.e. formed by a mixture of two different types of cigarettes (which normally differ from each other by the type of tobacco).
  • a group of cigarettes formed by cigarettes being different one from the other a hopper divided into two areas and independent one from the other is used, each of which houses a corresponding type of cigarette.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a reject station and method for expelling a flawed group of cigarettes from a pocket of a cigarette packing machine group-forming conveyor, in which reject station and method are free from the drawbacks described above and are, at the same time, easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • a reject station and method for expelling a flawed group of cigarettes from a pocket of a cigarette packing machine group-forming conveyor are provided as claimed in the attached claims.
  • each group 2 of cigarettes has a standard type shape and comprises twenty cigarettes distributed on three rows of 7-6-7 cigarettes each.
  • Each group 2 of cigarettes is formed by cigarettes A and B being different from each other, or formed by a mixture of two different types of cigarettes A and B (which normally differ from each other for the type of tobacco).
  • the cigarettes A entirely constitute the top layer and the intermediate layer of each group 2 of cigarettes and partially constitute the lower layer of each group 2 of cigarettes, while the cigarettes B partially constitute the lower layer of each group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the proportion and/or the arrangement of the cigarettes A and B within each group 2 of cigarettes may be different (for example, the cigarettes B could be completely the lower layer of each group 2 of cigarettes, or the cigarettes B may also partly constitute the intermediate layer and/or the top layer of each group 2 of cigarettes).
  • the group-forming unit 1 comprises a hopper 3 provided with three outlet mouths (known and not illustrated in detail) each having a number of substantially vertical grooves along which respective rows of cigarettes descend by gravity.
  • the hopper 3 is (in known manner) divided into two areas separated and independent from each other, each of which houses a corresponding type of cigarette A or B.
  • a group-forming conveyor 4 In front of the hopper 3 a group-forming conveyor 4 is arranged which travels along a rectilinear path P and by an intermittent rule of motion (or "stepwise") a number of pockets (or drawers) 5, each of which is suited to receive and contain a corresponding group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the group-forming conveyor 4 cyclically alternates a feeding step and a rest or stopping step and feeds each pocket 5 by one feeding step every one feeding step.
  • Three pushers are coupled to the hopper 3, each of which has a comb shape and is inserted cyclically inside an outlet mouth of the hopper 3 to extract from the outlet mouth a corresponding layer of cigarettes which forms, together with the other two layers, a group 2 of cigarettes, and then to insert the layer of cigarettes inside a corresponding pocket 5 of the group-forming conveyor 4. Consequently, from the hopper 3 the three pushers simultaneously feed three layers of cigarettes A or B to corresponding three pockets 5 of the group-forming conveyor 4 arranged at rest in front of the outlet mouths of the hopper 3.
  • the group-forming conveyor 5 comprises a control station S1 (of known type), which is arranged downstream from the hopper 3 and performs an optical control of the filling of the cigarette tips (i.e. verify if the cigarette tips contain an adequate amount of tobacco). Furthermore, the group-forming conveyor 5 comprises a reject station S2 which is arranged downstream from the control station S1 and is actuated by the control station S1 itself to eliminate from the corresponding pocket 5 a flawed group 2 of cigarettes (i.e. containing at least one flawed cigarette, that is at least a cigarette having an insufficient filling of the tip).
  • the group-forming conveyor 5 comprises a transfer station S3 (of known type), which is arranged downstream from the reject station S2 and cyclically transfers the groups 2 of cigarettes from the pockets 5 of the group-forming conveyor to an inlet of a packing line (known and not illustrated) of the packing machine.
  • a transfer station S3 of known type
  • the reject station S2 comprises a push device 6 located alongside the group-forming conveyor 4 and, to expel a corresponding flawed group 2 of cigarettes from a pocket 5, pushes the cigarettes A of the group 2 of cigarettes (i.e. the rest of the cigarettes in the group 2) in an expulsion direction D perpendicular to the feeding path P of group-forming conveyor 4.
  • the reject station S2 comprises a push device 7, which is located alongside the group-forming conveyor 4 on the opposite side with respect to the push device 6 and, to expel a corresponding flawed group 2 of cigarettes from a pocket 5, pushes the cigarettes B in the group 2 of cigarettes (i.e. the rest of the cigarettes in the group 2) along the expulsion direction D with a movement direction opposite to the push device 6.
  • the push device 6 comprises a movable pusher 8 that is initially located alongside the group-forming conveyor 4 and, to expel a corresponding flawed group 2 of cigarettes from a pocket 5, is inserted inside the pocket 5 moving along the expulsion direction D under the thrust of an actuator (electric or pneumatic).
  • an actuator electrical or pneumatic
  • the actuator 8 moves the pusher back and forth (i.e., along the expel direction D performing a forward stroke and subsequently a return stroke) to make the pusher 8 enter inside the pocket 5, and then push progressively out of the pocket 5 the flawed group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the push device 7 comprises a fixed supporting body 9 that is located (fixed position) alongside the group-forming conveyor 4 and supports a number of blow nozzles 10, each for blowing air in the expulsion direction D onto the group 2 of cigarettes. Each blow of air is able to push a corresponding cigarette B along the expulsion direction D out of the pocket 5 with a corresponding movement direction opposite to the movement direction imparted by the pusher 8 of the push device 6.
  • the push device 6 is mechanical (i.e. comprises the movable pusher 8 physically entering into a pocket 5 of the group-forming conveyor 4).
  • the push device 6 is pneumatic (i.e. wholly similar to the push device 7 illustrated in the attached figures and provided with blow nozzles 10); in this embodiment, the push device 6 comprises a number of blow nozzles, each for blowing air in the expulsion direction D onto the group 2 of cigarettes and is carried by a fixed supporting body which is located alongside the group-forming conveyor 4.
  • the push device 7 is pneumatic (i.e. comprises the blow nozzles 10).
  • the push device 7 is mechanical (i.e. wholly similar to the push device 6 illustrated in the attached figures and provided with the movable pusher 8 that physically enters into a pocket 5 of the group-forming conveyor 4); in this embodiment, the push device 7 comprises a movable pusher initially located alongside the group-forming conveyor 4 and, for expelling a corresponding flawed group 2 of cigarettes from a pocket 5, it is inserted inside the pocket 5 moving along the expulsion direction D.
  • the two push devices 6 and 7 are complementary in shape, so that each cigarette A or B of the group 2 of cigarettes is always engaged by one and only one of the two push devices 6 and 7 (i.e. so that each cigarette A or B of the group 2 of cigarettes is always pushed by one of the two push devices 6 and 7 and only by one of the two push devices 6 and 7).
  • the pusher 8 of the push device 6 and the supporting body 9 of the push device 7 are complementary in shape, so that each cigarette A or B of the group 2 of cigarettes is always engaged by one and only one of two push devices 6 and 7. Consequently, the push device 6 (i.e. the pusher 8 of the push device 6) has a through opening (located at the bottom right in Figure 3 ) through which the push device 7 moves without interference (i.e. the supporting body 9 of the push device 7).
  • the reject station S2 comprises a bin 11, located beneath the group-forming conveyor 4 and on the opposite side with respect to the push device 6 to receive the cigarettes A pushed out by the push device 6 from a corresponding pocket 5.
  • the reject station S2 comprises a bin 12, located beneath the group-forming conveyor 4 and on the opposite side with respect to the push device 7 to receive the cigarettes B pushed out by the second push device 7 from a corresponding pocket 5.
  • the reject station S2 comprises a control unit 13, which receives the signal to reject a group 2 of flawed cigarettes from the control station S1, and then following said signal received from the control station S1 activate both push devices 6 and 7 to reject a flawed group 2 of cigarettes (i.e. to expel a flawed group 2 of cigarettes from the corresponding pocket 5 of the group-forming conveyor 4).
  • the control unit 13 activates the pushing action of the push device 6 slightly before the thrust action of the push device 7 (i.e., the push device 6 starts pushing the cigarettes A out of the pocket 5 before the push device 7 starts to push the cigarettes B out of the pocket 5).
  • control unit 13 activates the pushing action of the push device 7 when the cigarettes A pushed by the push device 6 are already partially expelled from the pocket 5.
  • control unit 13 activates the pushing action of the push device 7 when the cigarettes A pushed by the push device 6 are expelled from the pocket 5 by at least a third of their length, and preferably by half of their length.
  • the push device 7 must be activated when the cigarettes A pushed by the push device 6 are still partially inside the pocket 5), so as to use (initially) the cigarettes A pushed by the push device 6 as a "guide” for handling the cigarettes B pushed by the push device 7.
  • the two push devices 6 and 7 are in the inactive condition, i.e. not exerting any action on the group 2 of cigarettes contained inside the pocket 5 of the group-forming conveyor 4 waiting at the reject station S2; starting from this situation, the push devices 6 and 7 can remain inactive (therefore without rejecting the group 2 of cigarettes), or may be activated to reject the group 2 of cigarettes.
  • the push device 6 has been activated, the pusher 8 of the push device 6 is located inside the pocket 5 of the group-forming conveyor 4, and therefore the cigarettes in group 2 have already been pushed partially out of the pocket 5 itself; instead the push device 7 is still inactive, and therefore the cigarettes B are still completely inside the pocket 5.
  • the push device 6 has almost completed the expulsion of the cigarettes A from the pocket 5 of the group-forming conveyor 4 and the push device 7 has begun the expulsion of the cigarettes B from the pocket 5 itself.
  • the reject station S2 described above has numerous advantages.
  • the reject station S2 described above allows to differentiate the rejected cigarettes A and B of different types forming each group 2 of cigarettes that is rejected; in this way, it is possible to collect in a differentiated way cigarettes A and B of a different type greatly facilitating the subsequent reuse of the tobacco thereof.
  • reject station S2 described above is particularly compact, therefore easy to install even on an existing packing machine.
  • reject station S2 is also easy and inexpensive to manufacture, as it is formed by structurally simple elements with little and easy handling (it is important to observe that in a cigarette packing machine a source of compressed air is normally provided and available in all areas).
