Definitions

  • the invention relates to a suction belt for transporting tobacco fibers with a band top side and a band underside opposite the top side of the band. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing an endless suction belt and a Saugstrangumbleer for a cigarette manufacturing machine.
  • a generic suction belt is out of DE 199 09 031 A1 known.
  • the two opposite surfaces of the suction belt have different roughness, whereby an improved entrainment of the tobacco fibers on the one hand and a better drive of the suction belt should be given by the one with the same engaged drive gears of the Saugstrangenseers on the other.
  • suction belts are for example in the DE 10 2011 006 803 B4 , of the DE 10 2012 211 069 B4 or the DE 10 2012 223 074 A1 described.
  • suction belt according to the DE 10 2012 211 069 B4 On one side of the suction band Einlegefäden provided, which have protruding from the plane of the suction belt protrusions, which are used to transport the tobacco fibers. In these suction belts, the problem described above with regard to wear is also given.
  • the wear acting on the respective side of the band ie the top of the band or the underside of the band, is evenly distributed on both sides of the band or the above-described imbalance with regard to the wear of the tobacco fibers facing side of the suction belt and the tobacco fibers lifted away from the same side, so that the suction belt is exposed to a more uniform wear and therefore may have a longer life, since no longer as previously only one side facing the tobacco fibers and the other side facing away from the tobacco fibers.
  • the suction belt is made by connecting the opposite ends of an elongate strip semifinished product to an endless belt, wherein the connecting the ends of the band top is connected to the band underside and the band underside with the band top.
  • the band upper side and the lower band side of the suction band according to the invention change with each revolution and thus each band side alternately comes into contact with the tobacco fibers and with the negative pressure, it can be very advantageous if the band upper side and the band lower side have a substantially identical roughness.
  • Such a symmetrical design of the suction band represents a departure from the prior art, according to which it was considered necessary that the side facing the tobacco fibers must have a certain roughness in order to be suitable for transporting the tobacco fibers.
  • this roughness is not necessarily required, since only the applied on the opposite side of the tobacco fibers vacuum is able to hold the tobacco fibers on the suction belt.
  • the twist of the upper side of the tape against the underside of the tape around the circumference of the suction belt can also be used with asymmetrical suction belts in terms of their roughness, i. that the upper side of the tape and the underside of the tape have a different roughness.
  • a method for producing a suction belt according to the invention is specified in claim 5.
  • the strip semifinished product is rotated once along its longitudinal axis by 180 °, it may be useful in certain embodiments of the invention, for example, if it is a very long suction belt, if prior to joining the two ends of the tape top and the lower side of the belt are rotated by an odd multiple of 180 ° along the longitudinal direction of the strip semifinished against each other.
  • the two ends of the strip semifinished product are connected by means of ultrasonic welding. It is a very simple and process-safe way to produce the endless suction belt from the elongated strip semi-finished product.
  • the two ends of the strip semifinished product are connected by means of laser welding.
  • laser welding By means of laser welding, a secure connection of the two ends of the strip semifinished product can be created.
  • a Saugstrang fiter for a cigarette making machine, in which a suction belt according to the invention is used, is specified in claim 9.
  • Such a Saugstrang reduceer makes use of the above-mentioned advantages of the suction belt according to the invention and can be used over a longer period without interruption due to the longer life of the suction belt.
  • Fig. 1 shows a Saugstrang considerer 1 for a cigarette manufacturing machine, not shown in its entirety.
  • the Saugstrang considerer 1 has in a conventional manner a direction indicated by a dashed line vacuum chamber 2, in which a vacuum or a vacuum prevails, sucked with the tobacco fibers 3 to a running in the vacuum chamber 2 suction belt 4 become.
  • the suction belt 4 revolves around a plurality of rollers of the suction belt conveyor 1, wherein in the present case in addition to at least one, in the illustrated embodiment, two drive rollers 5, a plurality of deflection rollers 6 are provided, around which the suction belt 4 rotates.
  • the structure of the Saugstrang considerers 1 is to be regarded as purely exemplary. With the exception of the suction belt 4 and its positioning within the Saugstrang considerers 1 there is no difference to known Saugstrang considerern.
  • a so-called sword 7 is provided, with which the suction belt 4 is in contact on the side opposite to the side of the suction belt 4 in contact with the tobacco fibers 3.
  • dashed lines are in Fig. 1 also shown a plurality of rollers 8, which may be provided as an alternative to the sword 7 and where the suction belt 4 rests in such an embodiment instead of the sword 7.
  • the sword 7 or the rollers 8 is provided.
  • the transport of the tobacco fibers 3 takes place in that the tobacco fibers 3 in a so-called Aufschauer Society, which is located below the sword 7 and the rollers 8, sucked to the suction belt 4 and transported by the movement in the direction indicated by "x" direction.
  • the release of the tobacco fibers 3 from the suction belt 4 takes place in a conventional manner.
  • Fig. 2 is the suction belt 4 off Fig. 1 shown in perspective.
  • the suction belt 4 is an endless suction belt, which preferably consists of a in Fig. 3 shown elongated strip semifinished product 9 was produced.
  • the elongate strip semifinished product 9 has two ends 10 and 11, which are joined together to form the suction belt 4.
  • the suction belt according to the DE 10 2011 006 803 B4 which has also been formed by connecting the two ends of a semifinished product to an endless suction belt, is used in the manufacture of the suction belt 4 prior to joining the two ends 10 and 11 thereof, the strip semi-finished product 9 along its longitudinal axis 12 at least once rotated by 180 °.
  • finished suction belt 4 a tape top 13 around the circumference of the suction belt 4 at least once against a band upper side 13 opposite lower belt side 14 is rotated.
  • the band top side 13 is connected to the band lower side 14 and the band lower side 14 to the band top side 13 of the respective end.
  • the joining of the two ends 10 and 11 of the strip semi-finished product 9 can be done for example by means of ultrasonic welding or by laser welding.
  • strip semifinished product 9 before joining the two ends 10 and 11 is rotated only once by 180 °, can also be provided that the strip semi-finished product 9 is rotated by an odd multiple of 180 ° along the longitudinal axis 12.
