Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rod-making machine for the tobacco processing industry for producing multi-segment rods, comprising an endless, driven format belt for conveying a wrapping strip placed on the format belt and a series of segments placed on the wrapping strip, an enclosing device for enclosing the segments with the wrapping strip, and an optical measuring device for detecting a property of the multi-segment rod formed from the segments and the wrapping strip.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for producing multi-segment rods in the tobacco processing industry.
  • a rod making machine in the tobacco processing industry for producing multi-segment rods with an endless format belt and an enclosing device has been known for a long time, see for example DE 27 36 871 A1 .
  • the object of the invention is to provide a strand machine and a method in which reliable optical detection of the segments is possible regardless of the nature of the wrapping material.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features of the independent claims.
  • the light exit is formed by at least one optical fiber.
  • optical fibers for example, based on fiber optics, optical detection can be advantageously implemented with minimal installation space.
  • the compact design allows for a measuring distance and angle of incidence that enable reliable measurement without the need for additional optical elements.
  • the at least one light exit is preferably arranged in direct measuring relationship with the surface to be measured.
  • direct measuring relationship means that the light exiting the light exit falls directly onto the object to be examined (segment or cladding strip), without any optical elements such as lenses, filters, or the like arranged in the beam path.
  • the measuring device is configured to perform at least one point and/or rectangular reflection measurement.
  • Optical reflection measurements can be performed with comparatively little effort compared to optical transmission measurements, which, depending on the material being examined, do not always function reliably.
  • a point measurement means that only the light intensity reflected by a point or light spot is determined, rather than the laborious capture and evaluation of a two-dimensional image consisting of a large number of pixels, for example, using a camera.
  • the measuring device comprises a first light exit arranged in a measuring relationship with the segment string.
  • the measuring device comprises a second light exit arranged in a measuring relationship with the wrapping strip.
  • the light exits are arranged at an angle in the range between 0° and 180°, more preferably between 50° and 110°, to each other. This advantageously enables reliable detection of both the segments and markings or print marks on the wrapping paper with sufficiently steep light incidence angles.
  • each light exit is generated by an associated transmitting optical fiber, whereby, in particular, each transmitting optical fiber can be associated with a corresponding receiving optical fiber.
  • the at least one optical fiber is advantageously held in a fiber optic head.
  • the transmitting optical fiber and the corresponding receiving optical fiber are preferably arranged in a common exit opening of the fiber optic head.
  • the fiber optic head is attached to a hold-down device for holding down the segments. Since the hold-down device is in a fixed spatial relationship to the segments, this easily ensures that the fiber optic head is also in a fixed spatial relationship to the multi-segment strand. This is advantageous for reliable and accurate optical measurement.
  • the fiber optic head can be attached to the hold-down device directly or indirectly, for example, via a support element.
  • the fiber optic head is guided through an opening in the hold-down device, which can be particularly space-saving.
  • the fiber optic head which is, for example, tubular or pin-shaped, is preferably arranged at an angle in the range between 0° and 90°, more preferably between 30° and 60°, to the horizontal. This advantageously enables detection of both the segments and the wrapping strip using a simply constructed fiber optic head.
  • the invention is applicable to all rod-making machines in the tobacco processing industry for producing multi-segment rods.
  • An advantageous application relates to a rod-making machine for producing multi-segment filter rods.
  • the invention can be used, in particular, for quality assurance with regard to defined segment lengths and/or for possible cutting position monitoring or control.
  • Relative position detection can be advantageously implemented using a corresponding fiber optic arrangement, for example, with contrast or color sensors.
  • the stranding machine 10 is part of a machine for producing multi-segment filter rods 48, each consisting of a plurality of optically distinguishable filter rod segments 17.
  • groups of filter segments 17 are assembled and, by means of an insertion device 33, continuously placed longitudinally axially onto a wrapping strip 39 drawn from a reel 37 and provided with glue by means of a gluing device 38.
  • an initially open multi-segment filter strand 41 is formed from the filter segment groups arranged longitudinally axially.
  • Optically detectable markings or printed marks 30 can be arranged on the inside of the wrapping strip 39.
  • the wrapping strip 39 can, in particular, be a wrapping paper strip.
  • the wrapping strip 39 and the multi-segment filter strand 41 rest on a strand conveyor in the form of an endless format belt 42 driven by a drive 40.
  • the format belt 42 guides the components 39, 41 through a format 45 or an enclosing device 43, which wraps the wrapping strip 39 completely around the filter strand 41, seals it by gluing, and thus forms an endless, closed multi-segment filter strand 44.
  • This can pass through a seaming plate 46, in which the glued seam is dried by heat input or cooling.
  • Individual multi-segment filter rods 48 are then continuously cut from the multi-segment filter strand 44 by a cutting device 47. and transferred to a downstream discharge conveyor.
  • the strand machine 10 is shown in a cross-section in the area between the insertion device 33 and the enclosing device 43, in which the filter strand 41 is not yet enclosed by the wrapping paper.
  • the format 45 has a longitudinal axial recess 49 for receiving and guiding the filter strand 41.
  • the format belt 45 is placed on the format 45 in a U-shaped cross-section.
  • the wrapping strip 39 is placed on the format belt 45 in a U-shaped cross-section, with the legs 39a of the wrapping strip 39 projecting upwards over the filter strand 41.
  • a longitudinally axially extending hold-down device 20 is provided, which is inserted into the Figures 2 and 4 is shown.
  • the hold-down device 20, which is, for example, plate- or strip-shaped, is arranged on the format 45 or in the recess 49 of the format 45 to hold down the segments 17 forming the filter strand 41.
  • the hold-down device 20 can be pivotable about a horizontal axis in order to make the format 45 accessible in the event of a malfunction.
  • a light guide head 21 is provided, which is part of an optical measuring device 19 (see Figure 4 ) for detecting the segments 17 in the filter strand 41 and/or for detecting markings or print marks 30 on the inside of the wrapping paper 39.
  • the light guide head 21 is advantageously attached to the hold-down device 20, so that due to the fixed spatial relationship between the filter strand 41 and the hold-down device 20, there is also a fixed spatial relationship between the light guide head 21 and the filter strand 41.
  • a holder 15 attached to the hold-down device 20 and extending perpendicularly thereto can be provided.
  • the light guide head 21 is guided at an angle advantageously in the range between 0° and 90°, more preferably between 30° and 60°, even more preferably between 40° and 50°, through an opening 16 in the hold-down device 20 (see Figures 4, 5 ), which allows for a particularly space-saving arrangement.

  • the light exiting the first light exit 23 of the first transmitting light guide 25 falls directly and immediately, i.e., without intervening optical elements such as lenses, filters, etc., onto the surface to be examined—here, the lateral surface of the filter strand 41 or the segments 17.

  • the optical sensor 32 is expediently matched to the measuring wavelength of the light source 27. It can preferably be a contrast or color sensor. A luminescence or infrared sensor can also be used depending on the requirements. In principle, all sensor principles that are physically connected to optical fibers or are based on other The sensor 32 can be conveniently installed at a suitable location due to the variable length of the optical fibers 25, 31, 37, and 50.
  • the light guide head 21 For detecting markings or print marks 30 on the inside of the wrapping strip 39, the light guide head 21 comprises a second light outlet 35 (see Figures 3 and 5 ), through which a second light beam or light cone 36 directed towards the inside of the wrapping strip 39 emerges.
