Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, designed and adapted for cutting rod-shaped articles of multiple use length of the tobacco processing industry, comprising a cutting drum rotatably driven about a rotation axis I, wherein the cutting drum on its peripheral surface troughs for receiving and holding the rod-shaped article and the troughs in parallel are aligned to the rotation axis I, such that the rod-shaped articles are conveyed transaxially to its central axis, and a cutting device which is arranged in the region of the circumference of the cutting drum, such that the cutting device with the lying in the troughs rod-shaped articles is engageable ,
  • the invention comprises a machine of the tobacco processing industry, in particular filter attachment machine or filter assembly device, with a device for cutting rod-shaped articles.
  • Such devices are used in the tobacco processing industry. These devices serve to provide cross-axially conveyed rod-shaped articles, such as e.g. Filter rods of multiple use length, to cut into individual filters simple use length. Bar-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry include, in addition to filter rods, filters and filter segments, each with or without tobacco, also cigarettes, tobacco sticks and other articles.
  • the rod-shaped articles are either introduced directly into the troughs of the cutting drum or usually passed transaxially (to their longitudinal extension) from drum to drum, ultimately also to the cutting drum.
  • rod-shaped articles are received and held.
  • the drums are usually designed as suction drums, so that the rod-shaped articles are held by negative pressure in the wells.
  • grooves / column are provided in the troughs, in which the cutting blade can dip.
  • the grooves / gaps are formed across the wells along the peripheral surface. Specifically, for example, a groove / a gap separates two axially aligned wells. Before cutting, for example, extends a filter rod double use length over two axially aligned wells. The knife dives through the filter rod into the groove / gap to completely cut through the filter rod. The cutting drum with the troughs forms almost the opposite position for the cutting device.
  • rotary driven circular knives are used as cutting blades.
  • the circular knives are self-rotating and cut the articles in the hollows.
  • the circular blades are driven in rotation, they are fixed in position during cutting, so that the articles run onto a "standing" blade.
  • these circular knives are only suitable for precisely cutting simple and, above all, soft articles.
  • the rod-shaped articles and in particular the filters and filter rods are increasingly supplied additives of great hardness.
  • the articles to be cut have increasingly hard particles, such as e.g. Charcoal or the like, which can not or only inaccurately cut with the conventional circular knives.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to propose a simple and powerful device for cutting rod-shaped articles in particular also high hardness.
  • the task continues to be to propose a corresponding machine.
  • a cutting device By the embodiment according to the invention a cutting device is provided, can be generated by means of the cuts of higher energy. Due to the rotating knife carrier with the at least one cutting blade and a higher cutting speed can be realized. As a result, especially those articles can be reliably and precisely cut that contain Charcoal or other particles of high hardness. Due to the fact that the or each cutting blade is arranged on the circumference of the knife carrier, the cutting knives strike the rod-shaped articles with a high energy, a momentary impulse. The use of a knife carrier makes it possible to use large diameters in comparison to circular knives, whereby a high knife speed can be generated. As a result, the advantages mentioned can be reinforced.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment is characterized in that two or more knife holders, each with a cutting blade, are distributed uniformly over the circumference of the knife carrier. By two or more cutting blades, the cutting speed and thus the performance of the device can be increased.
  • each cutting blade is arranged radially adjustable in the knife holder. Due to the radial adjustment of the cutting blades long cutting blades can be used for a long service life.
  • each cutting blade has a crescent-shaped cutting edge.
  • the sickle shape of the cutting edge ie the area of the cutting blade that meets the articles, so-called pulling cuts can be carried out, whereby a precise cutting image is produced.
  • each knife holder is movably mounted relative to the knife carrier.
  • This optional design serves, on the one hand, to optimally adjust the cutting blades with respect to their position / orientation to the article to be cut and, on the other hand, to cause the cutting blades to hit at a defined angle on optionally provided abrasive / grinding wheels in order to produce a desired grinding pattern ,
  • each knife holder is designed to be rotatable about an axis D oriented radially on the center M of the knife carrier. This training promotes the previously described advantages.
  • each cutting blade is made of a stainless steel sheet.
  • each cutting blade is made of a hard metal.
  • a preferred development is characterized in that the or each cutting blade describes by the rotation of the blade carrier a running circle, wherein in the region of the running circle of the cutting blade, a grinding device is arranged, which can be brought into operative connection with the or each cutting blade.
  • the cutting blades can be kept continuously in an optimal state, which has a direct impact on the quality of cut.
  • the object is also achieved by a machine of the type mentioned above in that the device for cutting according to one or more of claims 1 to 9 is formed.
  • the device shown in the drawing is used for cutting filter rods twice the useful length in filter simple use length.
  • the invention also relates in the same way devices for cutting other rod-shaped articles of different compositions, the articles can be cut into such simple use length or even in individual segments.
  • the illustrated device 10 is designed and arranged for cutting rod-shaped articles 11 of multiple use length of the tobacco processing industry and comprises a cutting drum 12 rotatably driven about a rotation axis I, the cutting drum 12 having on its peripheral surface grooves 13 for receiving and holding the rod-shaped articles 11 , The troughs 13 are aligned parallel to the axis of rotation I, such that the rod-shaped article 11 can be conveyed transaxially to its central axis. Furthermore, the device 10 comprises a cutting device 14, which is arranged in the region of the circumference of the cutting drum 12, such that the cutting device 14 can be brought into engagement with the rod-shaped articles 11 lying in the depressions 13.
