- the thus assembled groups of filter segments are wrapped or wrapped by means of a band roll with a wrapping material strip. This also occurs in a conveying direction of the groups of filter segments, which is transverse to its longitudinal axis, ie in a transverse process.
- multisegment filters of multiple use length are obtained, which are transported further and, for example, if they are twice the usable length, can be introduced directly between two tobacco rods in a filter attachment machine. In the event that a four-time use length is present or an even longer working length, the multi-segment filters are cut accordingly before introduction between tobacco sticks.
- WO 2014/064655 A2 discloses a method and a machine for producing multi-component cigarettes.
- This object is achieved by a method for producing a multi-segment filter of the tobacco processing industry, wherein first a group of filter segments is assembled and the group of filter segments is conveyed in their direction transverse to its longitudinal axis, wherein the group of filter segments a first end side and a second End face, wherein a filter segment of the group of filter segments, which has the first end face is cut into a first part and a second part, and the first part or the second part is rearranged on the outside of the group of filter segments with the second end side ,
- the cutting of the filter segment is done in a first part and a second part transverse to the longitudinal axis of the filter segment or the group of filter segments. Particularly preferably, the cut is in the middle of the filter segment.
- the first part of the cut filter segment comprising the first end side is regrouped.
- the group of filter segments thus formed is then wrapped with a wrapping material during a transverse axial conveyance.
- a wrapping material can be like in the EP 1 441 604 B1 done with a tape roll or on a roller drum. This will be discussed in more detail below in connection with the description of the figures.
- the first end face and the second end face are juxtaposed.
- the fresh cuts in cutting the filter segment in a first part and a second part to the outside at the newly created or rearranged group of filter segments, so that the cut surfaces form the outer or end sides, resulting in very high quality end faces leads.
- the first end face of the first part of the filter segment can be deposited after the regrouping to the outside.
- the first variant of regrouping is done, for example, with a beater.
- the second variant of regrouping is done for example with a pick-up drum, a sliding drum and a dispensing drum. This will be discussed in more detail in connection with the description of the figures.
- the group of filter segments in particular when cutting the filter segment, conveyed transaxially.
- the cut filter segment is removed from a drum after cutting, slid on a sliding drum, and deposited again into the group of filter segments.
- the cut filter segment is removed from a drum after cutting, displaced, and deposited again into the group of filter segments.
- the multisegment filter thus produced can be tested on corresponding test devices, such as test drums, for example on draw resistance. It may also be provided a laser perforation to adjust the draw resistance, for example.
- a multi-segment filter manufacturing device having a device for assembling groups of filter segments and a device for wrapping the groups of filter segments with a wrapping material for the production of multi-segment filters of the tobacco-processing industry, the device being designed for wrapping the groups of filter segments, the groups of filter segments when wrapping transverse to a longitudinal axis of the filter segments or a receptacle such as a trough for the filter segments to promote, wherein a filter segment cutting device and a Filtersegmentschneidvoriques downstream Filtersegmentumgrupp istaires are provided, wherein the filter segment cutting device is formed, a filter segment in a first part and to cut a second part and the filter segment rearranging device is formed, the first part or the second part of a to regroup first page of a group of filter segments to a second page of the group of filter segments.
- the filter segment cutting device comprises a cutting drum.
- the filter segment regrouping apparatus comprises a turning drum or drum, a sliding drum and a dispensing drum or a drum formed as a take-off, pushing and dispensing drum.
- a filter segment group or group of filter segments is assembled in a cross-conveying method, as this example by a Multisegmentfilterherstell Surprise patent applicant, such as a Merlin or a KDF5 MF. It is then preferably cut a filter segment in the middle. Part of this cut filter segment is then regrouped, namely to the other side of the filter group. Subsequently, the thus regrouped group of filter segments is wrapped in a cross-conveying process with a wrapping material. In this way, multi-segment filters can be produced very efficiently and with high quality, which can be applied directly to tobacco sticks without having to cut these multi-segment filters again.
- the multisegment filter thus produced can also be introduced into a filter attachment machine, cut there in the middle and connected to tobacco sticks, as long as multi-segments of double use length are produced. With even longer working length, such as three times the length of use, four times the length of use or even higher working length, of course, correspondingly many cuts are made.
- a very accurate cut can be made centrally in the filter segment so that a very accurate multisegment filter length with identical segment lengths is possible, in particular from multi-segment filters to multi-segment filters at time intervals, since the section through the filter element is done in a transverse process and not as usual in a longitudinal process, in which from the assembled groups of filter segments they are first handed over in a strand, are wrapped in a continuous process with a wrapping material and then cut transversely in a longitudinal axial promotion.
- the cut is thus much more accurate and precise than in a stranding process.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein einfaches und effizientes sowie kostengünstiges Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Multisegmentfilters der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie und eine entsprechend effiziente und qualitativ hochwertige Multisegmentfilterherstelleinrichtung anzugeben. Es ist insbesondere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Herstellung von Multisegmentfiltern so zu ermöglichen, dass das hergestellte Produkt ohne die Notwendigkeit einer weiteren Verarbeitung, d.h. insbesondere ohne die Notwendigkeit eines weiteren Schnitts, in einer Filteransetzmaschine hergestellt werden kann.It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple and efficient and cost-effective method for producing a multi-segment filter of the tobacco-processing industry and a correspondingly efficient and high-quality multi-segment filter manufacturing device. It is a particular object of the present invention to enable the production of multi-segment filters in such a way that the product produced can be produced in a filter attachment machine without the need for further processing, ie in particular without the need for further cutting.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Multisegmentfilters der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, wobei zunächst eine Gruppe von Filtersegmenten zusammengestellt wird und die Gruppe von Filtersegmenten in ihrer Richtung quer zu deren Längsachse gefördert wird, wobei die Gruppe von Filtersegmenten eine erste Stirnseite und eine zweite Stirnseite aufweist, wobei ein Filtersegment der Gruppe von Filtersegmenten, das die erste Stirnseite aufweist, in einen ersten Teil und einen zweiten Teil geschnitten wird, und der erste Teil oder der zweite Teil außen auf die Seite der Gruppe von Filtersegmenten mit der zweiten Stirnseite umgruppiert wird.This object is achieved by a method for producing a multi-segment filter of the tobacco processing industry, wherein first a group of filter segments is assembled and the group of filter segments is conveyed in their direction transverse to its longitudinal axis, wherein the group of filter segments a first end side and a second End face, wherein a filter segment of the group of filter segments, which has the first end face is cut into a first part and a second part, and the first part or the second part is rearranged on the outside of the group of filter segments with the second end side ,
Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist es sehr effizient möglich, einen Multisegmentfilter herzustellen, der unmittelbar an einen Tabakstock angebracht werden kann, so dass weitere Verfahrensschritte zur Herstellung von Filterzigaretten eingespart werden können, wodurch ein sehr effizientes und kostengünstiges Verfahren zum Herstellen von Filterzigaretten möglich ist. Vorzugsweise geschieht das Schneiden des Filtersegments in einen ersten Teil und einen zweiten Teil quer zur Längsachse des Filtersegments bzw. der Gruppe von Filtersegmenten. Insbesondere vorzugsweise ist der Schnitt mittig des Filtersegments.By means of the method according to the invention, it is very efficiently possible to produce a multi-segment filter which can be attached directly to a tobacco rod, so that further process steps for the production of filter cigarettes can be dispensed with, whereby a very efficient and cost-effective method for producing filter cigarettes is possible. Preferably, the cutting of the filter segment is done in a first part and a second part transverse to the longitudinal axis of the filter segment or the group of filter segments. Particularly preferably, the cut is in the middle of the filter segment.
Vorzugsweise wird der erste Teil des geschnittenen Filtersegments umfassend die erste Stirnseite umgruppiert. Hierdurch ist es lediglich notwendig den umgruppierten Teil des geschnittenen Filtersegments genau zu positionieren, da die Positionierung des weiteren geschnittenen Teils und der anderen Filtersegmente der Gruppe von Filtersegmenten bestehen bleibt.Preferably, the first part of the cut filter segment comprising the first end side is regrouped. As a result, it is only necessary to accurately position the regrouped portion of the cut filter segment since the positioning of the further cut portion and the other filter segments of the group of filter segments remains.
Vorzugsweise wird die so gebildete Gruppe von Filtersegmenten anschließend mit einem Umhüllungsmaterial während einer queraxialen Förderung umwickelt. Dies kann wie in der
Vorzugsweise werden die erste Stirnseite und die zweite Stirnseite aneinandergelegt. Hierdurch gelangen die frischen Schnitte beim Schneiden des Filtersegments in einen ersten Teil und einen zweiten Teil nach außen bei der neu erstellten bzw. bei der umgruppierten Gruppe von Filtersegmenten, so dass die Schnittflächen die Außen- bzw. Stirnseiten bilden, was zu qualitativ sehr hochwertigen Stirnseiten führt. Alternativ kann die erste Stirnseite des ersten Teils des Filtersegments nach dem Umgruppieren nach außen abgelegt sein.Preferably, the first end face and the second end face are juxtaposed. As a result, the fresh cuts in cutting the filter segment in a first part and a second part to the outside at the newly created or rearranged group of filter segments, so that the cut surfaces form the outer or end sides, resulting in very high quality end faces leads. Alternatively, the first end face of the first part of the filter segment can be deposited after the regrouping to the outside.
Die erste Variante des Umgruppierens geschieht beispielsweise mit einer Wendetrommel. Die zweite Variante des Umgruppierens geschieht beispielsweise mit einer Abnahmetrommel, einer Schiebetrommel und einer Abgabetrommel. Auch hierzu wird im Zusammenhang mit der Figurenbeschreibung noch detaillierter eingegangen.The first variant of regrouping is done, for example, with a beater. The second variant of regrouping is done for example with a pick-up drum, a sliding drum and a dispensing drum. This will be discussed in more detail in connection with the description of the figures.
Vorzugsweise wird die Gruppe von Filtersegmenten, insbesondere beim Schneiden des Filtersegments, queraxial gefördert.Preferably, the group of filter segments, in particular when cutting the filter segment, conveyed transaxially.
Vorzugsweise wird zum Umgruppieren des geschnittenen Filtersegments dieses von einer Trommel nach dem Schneiden abgenommen, auf einer Schiebetrommel verschoben und wieder zur Gruppe von Filtersegmenten abgelegt.Preferably, to regroup the cut filter segment, it is removed from a drum after cutting, slid on a sliding drum, and deposited again into the group of filter segments.
Vorzugsweise wird alternativ zum Umgruppieren des geschnittenen Filtersegments dieses von einer Trommel nach dem Schneiden abgenommen, verschoben und wieder zur Gruppe von Filtersegmenten abgelegt.Preferably, as an alternative to regrouping the cut filter segment, it is removed from a drum after cutting, displaced, and deposited again into the group of filter segments.
Nach dem Umhüllen der Gruppe von Filtersegmenten kann der so hergestellte Multisegmentfilter auf entsprechenden Prüfvorrichtungen, wie Prüftrommeln, beispielsweise auf Zugwiderstand geprüft werden. Es kann auch eine Laserperforation vorgesehen sein, um den Zugwiderstand beispielsweise einzustellen.After wrapping the group of filter segments, the multisegment filter thus produced can be tested on corresponding test devices, such as test drums, for example on draw resistance. It may also be provided a laser perforation to adjust the draw resistance, for example.
Die Aufgabe wird ferner gelöst durch eine Multisegmentfilterherstelleinrichtung mit einer Vorrichtung zum Zusammenstellen von Gruppen von Filtersegmenten und einer Vorrichtung zum Umhüllen der Gruppen von Filtersegmenten mit einem Umhüllungsmaterial zur Herstellung von Multisegmentfiltern der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, wobei die Vorrichtung zum Umhüllen der Gruppen von Filtersegmenten ausgebildet ist, die Gruppen von Filtersegmenten beim Umhüllen quer zu einer Längsachse der Filtersegmente oder einer Aufnahme wie beispielsweise einer Mulde für die Filtersegmente zu fördern, wobei eine Filtersegmentschneidvorrichtung und eine der Filtersegmentschneidvorrichtung nachgeschaltete Filtersegmentumgruppierungsvorrichtung vorgesehen sind, wobei die Filtersegmentschneidvorrichtung ausgebildet ist, ein Filtersegment in einen ersten Teil und einen zweiten Teil zu schneiden und die Filtersegmentumgruppierungsvorrichtung ausgebildet ist, den ersten Teil oder den zweiten Teil von einer ersten Seite einer Gruppe von Filtersegmenten auf eine zweite Seite der Gruppe von Filtersegmenten umzugruppieren.The object is further achieved by a multi-segment filter manufacturing device having a device for assembling groups of filter segments and a device for wrapping the groups of filter segments with a wrapping material for the production of multi-segment filters of the tobacco-processing industry, the device being designed for wrapping the groups of filter segments, the groups of filter segments when wrapping transverse to a longitudinal axis of the filter segments or a receptacle such as a trough for the filter segments to promote, wherein a filter segment cutting device and a Filtersegmentschneidvorrichtung downstream Filtersegmentumgruppierungsvorrichtung are provided, wherein the filter segment cutting device is formed, a filter segment in a first part and to cut a second part and the filter segment rearranging device is formed, the first part or the second part of a to regroup first page of a group of filter segments to a second page of the group of filter segments.
Vorzugsweise umfasst die Filtersegmentschneidvorrichtung eine Schneidtrommel.Preferably, the filter segment cutting device comprises a cutting drum.
Ferner vorzugsweise umfasst die Filtersegmentumgruppierungsvorrichtung eine Wendetrommel oder eine Abnahmetrommel, eine Schiebetrommel und eine Abgabetrommel oder eine Trommel, die als Abnahme-, Schiebe- und Abgabetrommel ausgebildet ist.Further preferably, the filter segment regrouping apparatus comprises a turning drum or drum, a sliding drum and a dispensing drum or a drum formed as a take-off, pushing and dispensing drum.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird zunächst eine Filtersegmentgruppe bzw. Gruppe von Filtersegmenten in einem Querförderverfahren zusammengestellt, wie dieses beispielsweise durch eine Multisegmentfilterherstelleinrichtung der Patentanmelderin bekannt ist, wie beispielsweise einer Merlin oder einer KDF5 MF. Es wird dann ein Filtersegment vorzugsweise mittig geschnitten. Ein Teil dieses geschnittenen Filtersegments wird dann umgruppiert, nämlich auf die andere Seite der Filtergruppe. Anschließend wird die so umgruppierte Gruppe von Filtersegmenten in einem Querförderverfahren mit einem Umhüllungsmaterial umhüllt. Auf diese Weise können sehr effizient und mit hoher Qualität Multisegmentfilter hergestellt werden, die direkt an Tabakstöcke angesetzt werden können, ohne dass erneut diese Multisegmentfilter geschnitten werden müssen. Die so hergestellten Multisegmentfilter können allerdings auch in eine Filteransetzmaschine eingebracht werden, dort mittig geschnitten werden und mit Tabakstöcken verbunden werden, sofern Multisegmente doppelter Gebrauchslänge hergestellt werden. Bei noch höherer Gebrauchslänge, wie beispielsweise dreifacher Gebrauchslänge, vierfacher Gebrauchslänge oder noch höherer Gebrauchslänge, werden natürlich entsprechend viele Schnitte vorgenommen.According to the invention, first a filter segment group or group of filter segments is assembled in a cross-conveying method, as this example by a Multisegmentfilterherstelleinrichtung patent applicant, such as a Merlin or a KDF5 MF. It is then preferably cut a filter segment in the middle. Part of this cut filter segment is then regrouped, namely to the other side of the filter group. Subsequently, the thus regrouped group of filter segments is wrapped in a cross-conveying process with a wrapping material. In this way, multi-segment filters can be produced very efficiently and with high quality, which can be applied directly to tobacco sticks without having to cut these multi-segment filters again. However, the multisegment filter thus produced can also be introduced into a filter attachment machine, cut there in the middle and connected to tobacco sticks, as long as multi-segments of double use length are produced. With even longer working length, such as three times the length of use, four times the length of use or even higher working length, of course, correspondingly many cuts are made.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren kann ein sehr genauer Schnitt mittig in dem Filtersegment vorgenommen werden, so dass eine sehr genaue Multisegmentfilterlänge mit identischen Segmentlängen möglich ist, und zwar insbesondere von Multisegmentfilter zu Multisegmentfilter in zeitlichen Abständen, da der Schnitt durch das Filterelement in einem Querverfahren geschieht und nicht wie üblich in einem Längsverfahren, bei dem aus den zusammengestellten Gruppen von Filtersegmenten diese zunächst erst in einen Strang übergeben werden, in einem Strangverfahren mit einem Umhüllungsmaterial umhüllt werden und dann bei einer längsaxialen Förderung quer geschnitten werden. Der Schnitt ist somit deutlich genauer und präziser als in einem Strangverfahren.In the method according to the invention, a very accurate cut can be made centrally in the filter segment so that a very accurate multisegment filter length with identical segment lengths is possible, in particular from multi-segment filters to multi-segment filters at time intervals, since the section through the filter element is done in a transverse process and not as usual in a longitudinal process, in which from the assembled groups of filter segments they are first handed over in a strand, are wrapped in a continuous process with a wrapping material and then cut transversely in a longitudinal axial promotion. The cut is thus much more accurate and precise than in a stranding process.

Die Gruppe 47 von Filtersegmenten 40, 40', 41, 41' wird auf eine Taumel- und Schneidtrommel 20 übergeben, getaumelt und mittels eines Kreismessers 28 das Filtersegment 40 mittig geschnitten. Anschließend wird ein erster Teil 42 des Filtersegments 40 in einer Wendevorrichtung 33 umfassend eine Wendetrommel 21 von der in Förderrichtung linken Seite auf die in Förderrichtung rechte Seite der Gruppe 47 umgruppiert. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine Gruppe 47' von Filtersegmenten. Diese Gruppe 47' von Filtersegmenten umfasst in Förderrichtung von links nach rechts einen zweiten Teil 43 des geschnittenen Filtersegments 40, ein Filtersegment 41, ein Filtersegment 40', ein Filtersegment 41' und den ersten Teil 42 des geschnittenen Filtersegments 40. Die Umgruppierung ist durch den Pfeil im unteren Bereich, dort wo die Gruppe 47' dargestellt ist, angedeutet.The
Die Wendetrommel 21 kann so ausgestaltet sein, dass ein bewegliches Organ, das mit der jeweiligen Mulde der Trommel 21 mitrotiert, den ersten Teil 42 aus der Position der Mulde, in der das Filtersegment 40 geschnitten wurde, entnimmt und auf der anderen Seite der Gruppe von Filtersegmenten wieder einbringt. Dies kann so geschehen, dass die Stirnseite 44, d.h. zunächst die linke Seite bzw. in

An die Wendevorrichtung 33 schließt sich eine Umhüllungsvorrichtung an, die zunächst eine Taumeltrommel 22 vorsieht, mittels der die Gruppe 47' von Filtersegmenten zusammengeschoben wird und in queraxialer Richtung genau justiert wird, um anschließend mit einem Umhüllungsmaterial 26 umhüllt zu werden. Das Umhüllungsmaterial 26 wird durch eine Beleimvorrichtung 25 beleimt, wobei es sich hierbei beispielsweise um eine Düsenbeleimung oder um eine Scheiben- oder Walzenbeleimung handeln kann. Die Beleimung geschieht auf der Seite des Umhüllungsmaterialstreifens, der durch den Pfeil bei der Beleimvorrichtung 25 angedeutet ist. Auf einer Umlenkrolle 23 wird der beleimte Umhüllungsmaterialstreifen 26 umgelenkt und mittels einer Schneidvorrichtung 24 in entsprechend lange abgeschnittene Umhüllungsmaterialstreifen geschnitten. Diese werden bei Kontakt mit der Gruppe 47' von Filtersegmenten an die Filtersegmente angeheftet und mittels des Vorfaltsterns 27 vorgefaltet, damit eine Umhüllung der Gruppe von Filtersegmenten auf der Rolltrommel 30 mit hoher Qualität geschehen kann. Die Rolltrommel 30 wird für das Umhüllen des Umhüllungsmaterialstreifens um die Gruppe von Filtersegmenten durch einen Rollklotz 31 wie bekannt unterstützt.The turning
Es schließt sich dann eine Abgabetrommel 32 an, mittels der die fertig gestellten und mit Umhüllungsmaterial 26 umhüllten Multisegmentfilter abgefördert werden, beispielsweise in einen Stackformer hinein. Zwischen der Abgabetrommel 32 und der Rolltrommel 30 können weitere Trommeln, beispielsweise Prüftrommeln, vorgesehen sein, in denen beispielsweise der Zugwiderstand gemessen wird oder es kann eine Laserperforation vorgesehen sein.This is then followed by a dispensing
An Stelle der Umgruppierung des ersten Teils 42 des geschnittenen Filtersegments kann auch der zweite Teil 43 des geschnittenen Filtersegments 40 umgruppiert werden. Es ist dann auf der Trommel 22 vorgesehen, dass der Abstand zwischen dem in der Mulde liegenbleibenden ersten Teil 42 des geschnittenen Filtersegments 42 zu dem Filtersegment 41 durch entsprechendes Zusammenschieben wieder minimiert wird.Instead of regrouping the
Als nicht in einer Figur dargestellte Alternative kann anstelle der Trommeln 35, 36, 37 eine einzige Trommel verwendet werden, die die Funktionen der Trommeln 35, 36, 37 in sich vereint, also den ersten Teil 42 des geschnittenen Filtersegments 40 abnimmt, längsaxial verschiebt und auf die andere Seite der Gruppe von Filtersegmenten wieder abgibt.As an alternative not shown in a figure, instead of the
