Definitions

  • the concept of supplying and filling two storage bays with a common supply is already disclosed, in that the supply for obtaining strand-like homogeneous tobacco strands can be selectively and intermittently associated with each of the two storage bays. For this purpose, between the output side end of the feed and the input ends of the two adjacent storage chutes back and forth movable flaps connected.
  • the EP 1 364 588 A1 thus, a person skilled in the art already has the concept of influencing filling and the current filling level of each of the two storage ducts in two respects, in contrast to a "flap-free" arrangement.
  • a "flap-free" arrangement in which the output of the feed opens over or into the input area of the storage shaft, it is customary to monitor the filling and filling level by a light barrier arrangement mounted on the storage shaft and to increase the quantity of tobacco supplied depending on the currently determined filling level to reduce or maintain.
  • the EP 1 364 588 A1 in its paragraph 0010 also states that Fig. 4 of the DE 32 09 195 C2 which in turn discloses the usual level monitoring means and the usual Stassenacht Scholl Bonnenregelung.
  • the EP 1 364 588 A1 on the EP 1 174 046 A2 which in turn, in its paragraph 0040 it as usual measure disclosed to monitor the level in a stowage by means of light barriers and to keep the level constant by a corresponding driving an upward conveyor of tobacco fibers or at a desired level.
  • the EP 1 364 588 A1 also shows a further embodiment (local paragraph 0059, Fig. 10).
  • the EP 1 364 588 provides to feed the two storage bays with a predeterminable loading frequency, after which the flaps so get a fixed on a unit of time or a number produced cigarettes number of switching operations fixed, or a fixed predetermined dwell time over the respective Stumbleacht.
  • any differences in the respective, current discharge chute filling height from a minimum and / or maximum value or an average, which may be established and which can be ascertained via the usual level monitoring means, are then processed in the usual way - as in the EP 1 364 588 A1 disclosed and given to the skilled person - balanced, either with one of the two control measures or their combination.
  • the corresponding feed conveyor is raised or lowered to the supply line in its conveying capacity in a conventional manner, as is currently required, without any influence on the loading frequency or a regulation of the flaps, which determines their rhythm - as determined by the predetermined loading frequency - maintained.
  • EP 2 739 168 are independently controllable flaps for filling angled transport channels known. Through the channels no loose tobacco material is promoted, but rod-shaped article.
  • EP 2 334 727 a pneumatic feeding device for loose tobacco material is described. Loose independently mounted flaps are used, which are not externally operable, but deflect themselves.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method according to the preamble of claim 9, with which or with which a rapid change in the supply of fibers between the two storage bays is guaranteed.
  • the flaps are arranged so movable and each externally operable, that the flaps can be brought both into a position for forming a parallel channel and in an at least temporary position for forming an at least partially converging and / or diverging channel, can ensures reliable filling of each storage can and both flaps can be adjusted independently.
  • the desired changes can be made reliably and quickly. They can be initiated early with reduced moments of inertia and thus accelerated and / or prepared.
  • This allows a very wide variety of movement patterns as well as adjustments of the flaps as a pair, but also individually in each case in a simple manner, and provides extensive possibilities of adaptation to different operating states and fiber types. Even after a prolonged operation possibly resulting inaccuracies in positioning the flaps can be by the relative positioning of the flaps to each other, whether in the respective rest position and / or be it during their respective pivoting movement. A permanent trouble-free operation is thus possible.
  • the flaps are preferably arranged in such a way the storage shafts that they each - or at least one flap - with their free, the respective pivot axis opposite end in the transport direction of the fibers are oriented. As a result, a run-up of fibers on the free end of a flap is avoided and achieved a steady self-cleaning effect. On the other hand, if one or both flaps are oriented with their free end directed counter to the transport direction of the fibers, cleaning should be provided from time to time or in the event of a fault, for example by moving the flaps apart and / or shaking them.
  • the flaps can always be collision-free be reliably brought into their respective position to each other, for example, to fill the storage bays or on their way to a filling position.

Quasi "soft" landings occur when reaching the new positions and an optimal short “driving through" the transition area between the two storage bays along the respective pivoting distance.
  • Klappumschaltfrequenzen can be made dependent on the speed of a suction belt and / or a format band, in particular regulated, in particular strandwise.
  • the flaps can be brought into a closed position. In this way, the fiber material remains ready to start again in the distributor.
  • flaps are unevenly accelerated and / or unevenly decoupled, extensive path-time sequences of motion for each or at least one flap can be predetermined, and an optimization to the respective operating conditions and / or the respective fiber material can be undertaken.

  • Any "dead times" by a downstream of a feeder and the storage chutes upstream organ, such as a classifier, zig-zag classifier can be taken into account in the scheme, according to which a delayed behavior can be compensated.
  • the residence time over the respective stowage time is advantageously 0.1-5 seconds, preferably 0.3-4 seconds, particularly preferably 0.5-3 seconds.
  • a cycle for supplying or filling two storage slots is twice the duration, eg 2 seconds, after which the flaps return to their original position.
