Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einlegevorrichtung, die ausgebildet ist, stabförmige Artikel der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie in einen Strang der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie einzubringen oder an einen Strang der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie anzulegen, mit wenigstens einer Mulde zur Aufnahme von stabförmigen Artikeln der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere von Filtersegmenten, wobei die wenigstens eine Mulde eine Längserstreckung aufweist und wobei die Mulde eine Saugluftöffnung aufweist.The invention relates to an insertion device, which is designed to introduce rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry in a strand of the tobacco processing industry or to create a strand of tobacco processing industry, with at least one trough for receiving rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, in particular Filter segments, wherein the at least one trough has a longitudinal extent and wherein the trough has a Saugluftöffnung.

Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Strangmaschine der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie mit einer derartigen Einlegevorrichtung.The invention further relates to a rod making machine of the tobacco processing industry with such a loading device.

Bei entsprechenden Einlegevorrichtungen, die auch als Einlegeräder bekannt sind, werden mittels einer Rotationsbewegung stabförmige Artikel der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere Filtersegmente, von einer queraxialen Förderrichtung in eine längsaxiale Förderrichtung übergeben, um so einen Strang aus diesen stabförmigen Artikeln der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie bilden zu können.In the case of corresponding insertion devices, which are also known as insertion wheels, rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry, in particular filter segments, are transferred from a transverse-axial conveying direction into a longitudinal-axial conveying direction by means of a rotational movement, in order to form a strand of these rod-shaped articles of tobacco to be able to form a manufacturing industry.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus DE 28 09 160 A1 bekannt. Dort dient ein Einlegerad dazu, queraxial auf das Einlegerad abgegebene Filterstopfen längsaxial in einen Strang, der auf einer Formatvorrichtung gebildet wird, abzugeben. Das dort gezeigte Einlegerad bzw. die dort gezeigte Einlegevorrichtung weist entsprechende Träger auf, die schwenkbar bzw. drehbar gelagert sind. Die Träger weisen Aufnahmen bzw. Mulden auf, in die die Filterstopfen eingebracht werden können und üblicherweise mit Saugluft gehalten werden. Hierzu ist ein Saugluftschlitz in der Aufnahmemulde vorgesehen.Such a device is for example off DE 28 09 160 A1 known. There, a Einlegerad serves to transaxially discharged on the Einlegerad filter plug longitudinal axial in a strand, which is formed on a format device to deliver. The loading wheel shown there or the loading device shown there has corresponding carrier, which are pivotally mounted or rotatable. The carriers have receptacles or hollows into which the filter plugs can be introduced and are usually held with suction air. For this purpose, a Saugluftschlitz is provided in the receiving trough.

Es ist nun festgestellt worden, dass es bei einem fehlenden stabförmigen Artikel bei der Übergabe zu unkontrollierten Übergaben kommen kann.It has now been found that in the case of a missing rod-shaped article at the handover, uncontrolled handovers may occur.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine bekannte Einlegevorrichtung und eine bekannte Strangmaschine derart weiterzubilden, dass eine sehr hohe Prozesssicherheit bzw. eine sehr genaue Übergabe von stabförmigen Artikeln von einer queraxialen Förderrichtung in einen längsaxial geförderten Strang bzw. an einen längsaxial geförderten Strang ermöglicht ist.It is therefore an object of the present invention to develop a known insertion device and a known stranding machine such that a very high process reliability or a very accurate transfer of rod-shaped articles from a transverse axial conveying direction is made possible in a longitudinally promoted strand or on a längsaxial promoted strand ,

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Einlegevorrichtung, die ausgebildet ist, stabförmige Artikel der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie in einen Strang der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie einzubringen oder an einen Strang der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie anzulegen, mit wenigstens einer Mulde zur Aufnahme von stabförmigen Artikeln der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere von Filtersegmenten, wobei die wenigstens eine Mulde eine Längserstreckung aufweist und wobei die Mulde eine Saugluftöffnung aufweist, die dadurch weitergebildet ist, dass wenigstens zwei Saugluftöffnungen in der Mulde vorgesehen sind, die durch einen Steg voneinander getrennt sind.This object is achieved by a loading device, which is designed to bring rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry in a strand of tobacco processing industry or put on a strand of the tobacco processing industry, with at least one trough for receiving rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, in particular filter segments, wherein the at least one trough has a longitudinal extent and wherein the trough has a Saugluftöffnung, which is further developed in that at least two Saugluftöffnungen are provided in the trough, which are separated by a web.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Einlegevorrichtung wird das Risiko minimiert, dass bei einem fehlenden stabförmigen Artikel, beispielsweise Filtersegment, in einer Mulde der Einlegevorrichtung die Saugluft derart zusammenbricht, dass weitere in der Mulde angeordnete bzw. aufgenommene stabförmige Artikel nicht mehr gehalten werden können bzw. nicht mehr präzise gehalten werden können, so dass diese möglicherweise an falschen Stellen in den Strang eingelegt oder an den Strang angelegt werden. Hierdurch kann es insbesondere zu einem Strangbruch und einem Maschinenstopp kommen. Um den Einfluss eines fehlenden stabförmigen Artikels, beispielsweise eines fehlenden Filtersegments, für den Prozess zu reduzieren, werden wenigstens zwei mit einem Steg voneinander getrennte Saugluftöffnungen vorgesehen.The insertion device according to the invention minimizes the risk that in a missing rod-shaped article, such as filter segment, in a trough of the loading device, the suction air collapses such that further arranged in the trough or recorded rod-shaped article can no longer be held or can not be kept precisely, so this may in the strand or put on the strand. This can in particular lead to a strand break and a machine stop. In order to reduce the influence of a missing rod-shaped article, for example a missing filter segment, for the process, at least two suction air openings separated from each other by a web are provided.

Hierbei sind die Saugluftöffnungen vorzugsweise vollständig voneinander durch den jeweiligen Steg getrennt bzw. sind die Saugluftöffnungen nicht miteinander verbunden.In this case, the suction air openings are preferably completely separated from one another by the respective web or the suction air openings are not connected to one another.

Vorzugsweise weist die Mulde eine Auflagefläche auf, in der ein in die Mulde eingebrachter stabförmiger Artikel anliegt, wobei der Steg, insbesondere längsaxial, mit der Anlagefläche fluchtet, derart, dass ein in die Mulde eingebrachter stabförmiger Artikel an dem Steg anliegt.Preferably, the trough has a bearing surface, in which a rod-shaped article inserted into the trough rests, the web, in particular longitudinally aligned with the contact surface, in such a way that a rod-shaped article inserted into the trough bears against the web.

Vorzugsweise ist der Steg oder sind die Stege an die Kontur der Mulde angepasst, insbesondere von deren Tiefe her mit der restlichen Kontur der Mulde, insbesondere längsaxial, fluchtend ausgelegt. Bei Vorsehen einer im Querschnitt kreisabschnittsförmigen Mulde ist beispielsweise der Steg auch kreisabschnittsförmig im Querschnitt. Es können auch andere Formen vorgesehen sein. Vorzugsweise wird eine Form zu wählen sein, die an die Form der stabförmigen Artikel angepasst ist, wobei insbesondere eine komplementäre Form der Mulde bzw. der Stege zu den stabförmigen Artikeln, die transportiert werden sollen bzw. übergeben werden sollen, vorgesehen ist.Preferably, the web or webs are adapted to the contour of the trough, in particular of its depth with the rest of the contour of the trough, in particular longitudinal axial, aligned. When providing a circular cross-section in the form of a trough, for example, the web is also circular section in cross section. Other shapes may be provided. Preferably, a shape is to be selected which is adapted to the shape of the rod-shaped articles, wherein in particular a complementary shape of the trough or of the webs to the rod-shaped articles to be transported or be handed over, is provided.

Vorzugsweise ist die wenigstens eine Mulde auf einer Gondel angeordnet, wobei bei einer Rotation der Einlegevorrichtung um eine Rotationsachse eine Bewegung, insbesondere Verschwenkung, der Gondel vorgesehen ist, die für eine parallele Ausrichtung der wenigstens einen Mulde sorgt.Preferably, the at least one trough is arranged on a nacelle, wherein upon rotation of the loading device about an axis of rotation a movement, in particular pivoting, the nacelle is provided, which ensures a parallel alignment of the at least one trough.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann für das Wort Gondel auch Träger verwendet werden.In the context of the invention, carriers can also be used for the word gondola.

Die Rotationsachse der Gondel ist vorzugsweise parallel zu der Rotationsachse der Einlegevorrichtung.The axis of rotation of the nacelle is preferably parallel to the axis of rotation of the loading device.

Vorzugsweise weist die Einlegevorrichtung mehrere Gondeln auf. Die Gondeln können mit einer Mulde versehen sein, um beispielsweise stabförmige Artikel in einen Strang abzugeben. Es können allerdings auch zwei oder mehr nebeneinander, vorzugsweise parallel nebeneinander, angeordnete Mulden je Gondel vorgesehen sein, um zwei oder mehr Stränge mit stabförmigen Artikeln der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere gleichzeitig, zu versorgen.Preferably, the loading device has a plurality of gondolas. The gondolas may be provided with a trough, for example, to deliver rod-shaped articles in a strand. However, two or more side by side, preferably parallel to each other, arranged troughs per gondola may be provided to supply two or more strands with rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry, in particular at the same time.

Vorzugsweise ist für jede Saugluftöffnung ein Saugluftkanal vorgesehen. Vorzugsweise ist jede Saugluftöffnung einer Gondel einzeln schaltbar. Zum Schalten kann beispielsweise ein Ventil vorgesehen sein bzw. kann für jede Saugluftöffnung einzeln ein Ventil vorgesehen sein. Durch das Schalten ist die Saugluft zu- bzw. abschaltbar. Hierdurch ist eine sehr hohe Prozesssicherheit ermöglicht.Preferably, a suction air duct is provided for each suction air opening. Preferably, each suction air opening of a nacelle is individually switchable. For switching, for example, a valve may be provided or may be provided individually for each Saugluftöffnung a valve. By switching the suction air is switched on or off. This allows a very high process reliability.

Wenn ein entsprechend großer Saugluftvorrat vorgesehen ist, kann allerdings auch unter Umständen auf das einzelne Schalten der Saugluftöffnungen verzichtet werden, da bei einem entsprechend großen Saugluftvorrat bzw. Saugluftreservoir ein Verlust von Saugluft über einen getrennten Saugluftkanal und eine getrennte Saugluftleitung zu dem Saugluftvorrat hin keinen ins Gewicht fallenden Verlust an Saugluft im Saugluftvorrat erzeugt.If a correspondingly large intake air supply is provided, however, the individual switching of the suction air openings may also be dispensed with, since with a correspondingly large suction air reservoir or suction air reservoir, a loss of suction air via a separate suction air duct and a separate suction air line to the suction air supply is of no importance falling loss of suction in Saugluftvorrat generated.

Das oder die Ventile können vorzugsweise in jeder Gondel angeordnet sein oder in einer Saugluftleitung oder mehreren Saugluftleitungen in einer Einlegevorrichtung angeordnet sein. Die Ventile können auch einer Einlegevorrichtung vorgeschaltet bzw. entfernt von der Einlegevorrichtung angeordnet sein. Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass ein Ventil eine erste Saugluftöffnung in einer ersten Gondel und einer zweiten Gondel zu- und abschalten kann und entsprechend ein zweites Ventil eine zweite Saugluftöffnung einer ersten Gondel und eine zweite Saugluftöffnung einer zweiten Gondel zu- und abschalten kann und entsprechend für weitere Saugluftöffnungen einer oder mehrerer Gondeln ein oder mehrere Ventile vorgesehen sind. Dieses wird im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren noch näher erläutert.The one or more valves may preferably be arranged in each nacelle or in a suction air duct or several suction air ducts in one Be arranged loading device. The valves can also be arranged upstream of an insertion device or remote from the insertion device. It can also be provided that a valve can switch on and off a first suction air opening in a first nacelle and a second nacelle, and a second valve can connect and disconnect a second suction air opening of a first nacelle and a second suction air opening of a second nacelle and accordingly one or more valves are provided for further suction air openings of one or more gondolas. This will be explained in more detail in connection with the figures.

Vorzugsweise ist für jeden stabförmigen Artikel eine Saugluftöffnung vorgesehen, wobei hierbei insbesondere der stabförmige Artikel in die Mulde einbringbar ist oder eingebracht wird.Preferably, a Saugluftöffnung is provided for each rod-shaped article, in which case in particular the rod-shaped article is introduced into the trough or is introduced.

Die Aufgabe wird ferner durch eine Strangmaschine der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Einlegevorrichtung gelöst, wobei mittels der Einlegevorrichtung stabförmige Artikel auf eine Formatvorrichtung oder eine Fördervorrichtung auflegbar sind oder aufgelegt werden, so dass sich ein Strang aus stabförmigen Artikeln bildet.The object is further achieved by an extrusion machine of the tobacco-processing industry with an insertion device according to the invention, wherein by means of the insertion device rod-shaped articles are placed on a formatting device or a conveying device or are placed so that forms a strand of rod-shaped articles.

Vorzugsweise ist die wenigstens eine Mulde parallel zu dem Strang oder der Formatvorrichtung angeordnet.Preferably, the at least one trough is arranged parallel to the strand or the format device.

Vorzugsweise ist ein Saugluftvorrat vorgesehen, von dem die Saugluftkanäle mit Saugluft gespeist werden oder mit Saugluft speisbar sind.Preferably, a Saugluftvorrat is provided, from which the Saugluftkanäle are fed with suction or can be fed with suction air.

Vorzugsweise ist jedem Saugluftkanal einer Gondel ein Ventil zugeordnet. Vorzugsweise kann ein Ventil für jeweils eine Saugluftleitung mehrerer Gondeln vorgesehen sein.Preferably, each intake air duct of a nacelle is assigned a valve. Preferably, a valve may be provided for each suction air duct of a plurality of gondolas.

Bei der Übergabe von stabförmigen Artikeln, insbesondere Filtersegmenten, aus einer Rotationsbewegung in eine längsaxiale Förderrichtung mithilfe eines Trägers oder einer Gondel, die eine Mulde aufweist, besteht das Risiko, dass bei einem oder mehreren fehlenden stabförmigen Artikeln bzw. Segmenten auf der Mulde die Halteluft zusammenbricht. Wenn sich der Unterdruck bzw. die Saugluft zum Halten der stabförmigen Artikel auf der Mulde zu stark reduziert, entsteht ein großes Prozessrisiko, da die weiteren stabförmigen Artikel bzw. Segmente nicht mehr auf oder in der Mulde gehalten werden können. Für diesen Fall können eine oder mehrere weitere Segmente aus der Mulde fallen und es zu einem Strangbruch und damit einem Maschinenstopp kommen.In the transfer of rod-shaped articles, in particular filter segments, from a rotational movement in a longitudinal axial conveying direction by means of a carrier or a nacelle having a trough exists the risk that one or more missing rod-shaped articles or segments on the trough collapses the holding air. If the negative pressure or the suction air for holding the rod-shaped articles on the trough is reduced too much, a great process risk arises because the further rod-shaped articles or segments can no longer be held on or in the trough. In this case, one or more further segments may fall out of the trough and cause a strand break and thus a machine stop.

Erfindungsgemäß werden in die Mulde zwei oder mehrere separate Saugkanäle oder Saugluftöffnungen eingebracht.According to the invention, two or more separate suction channels or suction air openings are introduced into the trough.

Durch die Kanäle wird verhindert, dass der Unterdruck bzw. die Saugluft komplett in der Mulde bzw. der Gondel zusammenbricht und verbleibende Segmente bzw. stabförmige Artikel werden somit prozesssicher gehalten. Die Saugluftöffnungen oder die Saugluftkanäle können gleichmäßig bzw. gleich groß verteilt oder ausgebildet sein oder von deren Größe her auf die einzelnen aufzunehmenden bzw. zu fördernden stabförmigen Artikel angepasst werden. Einem größeren stabförmigen Artikel kann beispielsweise eine größere Saugluftöffnung zugeordnet werden als einem kleineren stabförmigen Artikel. Entsprechend können schwerere stabförmige Artikel eine größere Saugluftöffnung erhalten, als leichtere stabförmige Artikel.Through the channels prevents the negative pressure or the suction air completely collapses in the trough or the nacelle and thus remaining segments or rod-shaped articles are kept safe. The suction air openings or the suction air ducts can be distributed or formed uniformly or evenly or can be adapted in size to the individual male or to be conveyed rod-shaped article. For example, a larger rod-shaped article may be assigned a larger suction air opening than a smaller rod-shaped article. Accordingly, heavier rod-shaped articles can receive a larger suction air opening than lighter rod-shaped articles.

Ein zusätzlicher überraschender Effekt dieser Art der Muldenausbildung einer entsprechenden Einlegevorrichtung ist der, dass sich eine vergrößerte Reibfläche zwischen den stabförmigen Artikeln und der Mulde ergibt, was den Einlegeprozess in einem Strang oder an einen Strang verbessert. Durch die Stege in der Mulde wird eine zusätzliche höhere Stabilität erzielt. Vorzugsweise wird auch noch eine Kante, die in längsaxialer Richtung der Mulde die Mulde abschließt, versteift, um eine genaue Platzierung der stabförmigen Artikel in den Strang oder an den Strang zu ermöglichen.An additional surprising effect of this type of trough formation of a corresponding loading device is that it results in an increased friction surface between the rod-shaped articles and the trough, which improves the insertion process in a strand or strand. By the webs in the trough an additional higher stability is achieved. Preferably, also an edge, which closes the trough in the longitudinal axial direction of the trough, stiffened to allow accurate placement of the rod-shaped article in the strand or on the strand.

Filtersegmente 11, 11' werden durch eine nicht dargestellte Übergabevorrichtung in Mulden 13 von Gondeln 17 einer Einlegevorrichtung 10 eingebracht. Die Einlegevorrichtung 10 rotiert in Pfeilrichtung um eine Rotationsachse 18. Die Gondeln 17 sind jeweils an Rotationsachsen 19 angebracht, so dass bei einer Rotation der Einlegevorrichtung 10 die Ausrichtung der Mulden 13 gleich bleiben, und zwar insbesondere parallel zum gebildeten Strang 12 bzw. einer Bahn der Formatvorrichtung 22. Fig. 1 shows schematically a view of a strand machine 21 of the tobacco processing industry. For example, a filter rod machine is shown. Filter segments 11, 11 'are introduced by a transfer device, not shown, into depressions 13 of gondolas 17 of an insertion device 10. The loading device 10 rotates in the direction of the arrow an axis of rotation 18. The gondolas 17 are each attached to rotation axes 19, so that upon rotation of the loading device 10, the orientation of the wells 13 remain the same, in particular parallel to the formed strand 12 or a web of the format device 22nd

Die aufgenommenen Filtersegmente 11, 11' werden längsaxial in einen Strang 12 übergeben. Hierzu werden die Filtersegmente 11, 11' auf einen Umhüllungsmaterialstreifen 35, der auf einem Formatband 34 aufgebracht ist, aufgelegt. Das Formatband 34 bewegt sich in Pfeilrichtung, d.h. in Fig. 1 von rechts nach links, durch die Formatvorrichtung 22, so dass in der Formatvorrichtung 22 ein Umhüllungsmaterialstreifen 35 um den Strang 12 gewickelt wird, wie üblich mit einem Kleber versehen wird und geschlossen wird. Anschließend wird der Strang 12 durch eine Schneidvorrichtung 33 in Filterstäbe gewünschter Gebrauchslänge, beispielsweise zweifacher Gebrauchslänge, abgelängt.The recorded filter segments 11, 11 'are transferred longitudinally in a strand 12. For this purpose, the filter segments 11, 11 'on a wrapping material strip 35, which is applied to a format tape 34, placed. The format tape 34 moves in the arrow direction, ie in Fig. 1 from right to left, through the formatting device 22, so that a wrapping material strip 35 is wrapped around the strand 12 in the formatting device 22, as usual provided with an adhesive and is closed. Subsequently, the strand 12 is cut by a cutting device 33 in filter rods desired use length, for example, twice the length of use.

Es ist eine Mulde 13 gezeigt, die eine Anlagefläche 16 aufweist, an die die stabförmigen Artikel 11, 11' angelegt werden. Es sind zudem vier Saugluftöffnungen 14, 14', 14", 14'" gezeigt, die jeweils mit Stegen 15, 15', 15" voneinander getrennt sind. Die Stege 15, 15' 15" sind vorzugsweise auf der gleichen Höhe wie die Anlagefläche 16 bzw. fluchten mit dieser, so dass für den Fall, dass wenn Filtersegmente 11, 11' in die Mulde 13 eingebracht sind, im Wesentlichen keine Saugluft an den Stegen 15, 15', 15" vorbeigesaugt wird, da die Filtersegmente 11, 11' entsprechend eine Abdichtung mit der Anlagefläche 16 ergeben.The loading device 10 according to the invention has gondolas 17, which in Fig. 2 are shown schematically in a representation from below. It is shown a trough 13 having a bearing surface 16 to which the rod-shaped articles 11, 11 'are applied. There are also shown four suction air openings 14, 14 ', 14 ", 14'", which are each separated from one another by webs 15, 15 ', 15 ".The webs 15, 15', 15" are preferably at the same height as the contact surface 16 or aligned with this, so that in the event that when filter segments 11, 11 'are introduced into the trough 13, substantially no suction air is sucked past the webs 15, 15', 15 ", since the filter segments 11, 11 Accordingly, a seal with the contact surface 16 result.

Die Saugluftöffnungen 14, 14', 14", 14'" sind mit Saugluftkanälen 20, 20', 20", 20'" verbunden, die jeweils getrennt in der Gondel 17 verlaufen. Die entsprechende Trennung dieser Saugluftkanäle 20-20'" ist in Fig. 3 noch einmal dargestellt, in der schematisch ein Schnitt durch eine entsprechende Gondel 17 gezeigt ist, und zwar in etwa entlang der Linie A-A aus Fig. 2. Es ist erkennbar, dass die Saugluftkanäle 20-20'" durch Wände voneinander getrennt sind.The suction air openings 14, 14 ', 14 ", 14'" are connected to suction air ducts 20, 20 ', 20 ", 20'", which run separately in the nacelle 17. The corresponding separation of these Saugluftkanäle 20-20 '"is in Fig. 3 again shown, in which a schematic section through a corresponding gondola 17 is shown, and approximately along the line AA Fig. 2 , It can be seen that the Saugluftkanäle 20-20 '"through walls are separated from each other.

Fig. 4 zeigt schematisch ein Saugluftdiagramm gemäß der Erfindung. Es ist ein relativ großer Saugluftvorrat 30 gezeigt, von dem vier Saugluftleitungen 32-32'" abzweigen. An diese Saugluftleitungen 32-32'" schließen sich Ventile 31-31'" an, an die sich die Saugluftkanäle 20-20'" anschließen und daran dann eine Mulde 13, die mit entsprechenden Saugluftöffnungen 14-14'" versehen ist. Fig. 4 schematically shows a Saugluftdiagramm according to the invention. There is shown a relatively large suction air supply 30 from which four suction air ducts 32-32 '''branch off, to which suction air ducts 32-32''' join valves 31-31 '', to which the suction air ducts 20-20 '''connect and then a trough 13, which is provided with corresponding Saugluftöffnungen 14-14 '".

Die Ventile 31-31'" können auch in den Saugluftleitungen 32-32'" angeordnet sein oder an dem Saugluftvorrat 30, bevor die Saugluftleitungen 32-32'" beginnen.The valves 31-31 '"may also be located in the suction air ducts 32-32'" or at the suction air supply 30 before the suction air ducts 32-32 '"begin.
