Definitions

  • 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 Saugluftö Maschinen.
  • the invention further relates to a rod making machine of the tobacco processing industry with such a loading device.
  • 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.
  • Such a device is for example off DE 28 09 160 A1 known.
  • 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.
  • a Saugluftschlitz is provided in the receiving trough.
  • 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 Saugluftö réelle, which is further developed in that at least two Saugluftö réelleen are provided in the trough, which are separated by a web.
  • the insertion device 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.
  • a missing rod-shaped article for example a missing filter segment
  • at least two suction air openings separated from each other by a web are provided.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the web is also circular section in cross section.
  • Other shapes may be provided.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • carriers can also be used for the word gondola.
  • the axis of rotation of the nacelle is preferably parallel to the axis of rotation of the loading device.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a suction air duct is provided for each suction air opening.
  • each suction air opening of a nacelle is individually switchable.
  • a valve may be provided or may be provided individually for each Saugluftö réelle a valve. By switching the suction air is switched on or off. This allows a very high process reliability.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a Saugluftö réelle is provided for each rod-shaped article, in which case in particular the rod-shaped article is introduced into the trough or is introduced.
  • 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.
  • the at least one trough is arranged parallel to the strand or the format device.
  • a Saugluftvorrat is provided, from which the Saugluftkanäle are fed with suction or can be fed with suction air.
  • each intake air duct of a nacelle is assigned a valve.
  • a valve may be provided for each suction air duct of a plurality of gondolas.
  • rod-shaped articles in particular filter segments
  • 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.
  • two or more separate suction channels or suction air openings are introduced into the trough.
  • 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.
