Description

  The present invention includes at least a base side surface provided so as to be fixed to a channel inner wall, a channel outer wall, and a channel base element, and the cigarette channel wall element has coupling means on the base side surface, and the coupling means is fixed. The present invention relates to a tobacco passage wall element that includes at least two externally connected externally spaced elements that are configured to fit tightly to the passage foundation element in the installed position. The present invention further includes a first tobacco passage wall element, a tobacco passage system including a passage base element comprising a second tobacco passage wall element and a tobacco passage wall, and a tobacco passage comprising the first tobacco passage system and the second tobacco passage system. The present invention relates to an array device.

  In the case of the production of cigarettes, in particular cigarette products such as unfiltered cigarettes and filtered cigarettes, the cigarettes are first brought to the continuum formation area of the cigarette continuum machine in the form of a continuous cigarette continuum, In this area, the continuum unit is surrounded by a jacket material strip, and the resulting cigarette continuum is finally divided into single or several times the length of tobacco rod. In this case, it is important to have a continuous processing process in which the processing step is formed into an endless tobacco continuous body. In this case, it is customary to use individual or several continuum machines, approximately double continuum machines.

  To produce this type of tobacco continuum, the first regenerated cut tobacco is brought to the continuum formation area of the cigarette continuum machine as a cigarette fleece, and the continuum guides from sporadic tobacco fibers into the form of rainfall. It is transferred to the aisle, transferred to the cigarette aisle and collected there. The tobacco continuum formed in this case is continuously discharged from the continuum formation area with a higher conveying speed via the conveying element.

  The tobacco passage is formed by a tobacco passage system having a horizontal passage base element as a passage base or passage bracket and two practical vertical tobacco passage elements as passage walls. The inner surface of this element constitutes the passage as a passage inner wall. Typically, an arrangement is used in which dispersed tobacco is drawn from below into the tobacco passage where it is suspended as a transport element on the continuum transport belt and out of the continuum formation area. Tobacco is brought into the tobacco passage from bottom to top, so the tobacco passage is open on its underside. Therefore, the horizontal passage foundation element is formed as a cover of the tobacco passage system, i.e. as its upper limit. The continuum transport belt is closely located in the arrangement below the passage base element and is therefore in the upper region of the tobacco passage.

  The diameter of each tobacco continuum is apparent from the width determined by the size of the tobacco passage, in particular the distance of the tobacco passage wall element of the tobacco passage. Since the diameter of the tobacco continuum establishes the cigarette diameter as the final product, the size of the tobacco passage is always chosen so that it matches the desired diameter for each of the final products.

  Within the range of optimal utilization of the production capacity of the machine that manufactures the cigarette, it is necessary to be able to manufacture different cigarette types on a single machine. To that end, it is important that the modifications required for each can be made as quickly as possible from one cigarette type to the other cigarette type. Because various cigarette types differ with respect to their diameter, this type of modification often includes adaptations of tobacco passages. For this purpose, the tobacco passage wall element is released from the horizontal passage foundation element, adapted to the desired width of the tobacco passage and fixed again to the passage foundation element in the new installation position.

  The spacing to be adjusted for each of the tobacco passage wall elements is in the range of several millimeters, approximately 5 mm to approximately 9 mm, corresponding to the diameters of the various cigarette types. Therefore, the difference in the different installation positions, each corresponding to different cigarette types, is a value of only a few millimeters at maximum. This requires a high dimensional accuracy when joining the tobacco passage wall element and the passage foundation element. Therefore, the selection of coupling means is determined with higher dimensional accuracy for special coupling types, so that, for example, conventional threaded couplings can be used, since the individual component screws each have a play of 0.5 mm. Absent.

  Based on this high requirement in the coupling means, cigarette passage wall elements and passage foundation elements are typically used, each suitable only for the installation position, thus adapting the tobacco passage system to different passage widths It is regularly associated with the replacement of the tobacco passage wall element and the accompanying passage foundation element. Therefore, only one cigarette continuum making machine of different cigarette types should be laid, so for each desired passage width there is one specially adapted set for this width. There is a tobacco passage wall element with a flexible passage foundation element. However, in multiple continuum machines, the two passage walls between two parallel adjacent passages can only be integrated as a cigarette passage double wall element, so in this case each for adaptation of both tobacco passages. Four elements should be exchanged instead of five or six elements.

  Due to the high charge of cigarettes in the apparatus for producing cigarettes, the tobacco passage wall elements are subjected to particularly high mechanical stresses and are therefore subject to strong wear. This means that multiple sets of non-bare tobacco passage wall elements must be stored, i.e. one set for each cigarette diameter, rather than for each cigarette diameter so that it can be quickly replaced in the event of wear. In addition, it can be derived that multiple equal sets must be stored.

It is possible to select one replacement of the system's tobacco passage wall element / passage foundation element and use only one tobacco passage wall element to achieve different passage widths. However, this type of tobacco passage wall element for various passage wall spacings requires the use of additional spacing members or spacer holders in order to be able to fix the tobacco passage wall elements in different installation positions relative to the passage foundation element. And In this case, rather than the tobacco passage wall elements, rather than just spacing members or spacer holders are adapted to the respective passage width. If such different tobacco passage wall element spacings are achieved by one type of tobacco passage wall element each, this is achieved in this way by the use of spacing members or spacer holders in this way. If the fixed connection without play of the elements is reliably adjusted, it has the disadvantage that the complexity of the structure is significantly increased. Furthermore, this type of tobacco passage wall system is clearly not resistant to mechanical loads. Finally, here at least one set of additional elements should be stored and retained in order to be able to achieve different passage widths, i.e. in order to achieve a suitably adapted spacing element or spacer holder. It is.
European Patent Application Publication No. 1389430 U.S. Pat. No. 4,175,570 JP-T-2001-511367

The object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate these drawbacks and to be implemented as a particularly simple structure, allowing the passage foundation element to be loaded in a fixed installation position and at the same time allowing a tight fixation, with each installation position being To provide a tobacco passage wall element that can be used again without having to use additional special elements.
Another object of the present invention is that it can be adapted for different passage widths, without requiring each additional special element to be adapted, as well as a plurality of such types of tobacco. It is to prepare a cigarette passage arrangement device of a passage system.

  This object is achieved according to the invention in that at least two external coupling elements spaced apart from each other at a first distance are formed on the basic side of the cigarette channel wall element so as to be closely fixed to the channel basic element in the first installation position. In addition to this first coupling means comprising a second installation position different from the first installation position, it is configured to fit tightly to the passage foundation element and is spaced apart from at least two second intervals. This is solved by a tobacco passage wall element of the kind described in which at least one second coupling means including an external coupling element is provided. In this way it is possible on the one hand to use only one tobacco passage wall element for different installation positions. In addition, the arrangement of the coupling means directly on the base side allows a particularly simple construction of the coupling system, in particular in the case of tobacco passage wall elements with a plurality of coupling means, approximately spacer holders or such additions This is because the objective element can be abandoned. Through an arrangement device spaced at least two coupling elements, a sufficiently high loading of the coupling is achieved for the laterally acting forces, in addition to the dimensional accuracy. Together, these first three factors meet the requirements provided for tobacco passage wall elements that can be used in different installation positions from a technical point of view. According to the invention, the coupling means naturally have two or more coupling elements, and another coupling element of this kind is in this case arranged as an inner coupling element between the previously mentioned outer coupling elements of the coupling means It has been pointed out that

  Further, in this case, the outer coupling element of the first coupling means and the outer coupling element of the second coupling means are connected to the base side surface of the tobacco passage wall element so that the tobacco passage wall element is integrally coupled with the passage foundation element. If formed, it is effective. In this form-integral connection, it is possible to maintain tolerances, i.e. deviations in today's dimensions from the respective standard dimensions, which are very small in each case. This allows a special tight connection between the tobacco passage wall element and the passage foundation element. If there is an outer coupling element of the first coupling means and an outer coupling element of the second coupling means that are configured to accommodate cylinder pins (as coupling intermediate elements), the accuracy of the tobacco path wall element is determined by the tobacco path. A strong simplification is achieved by the fact that the base side of the wall element has only to be provided with a connecting element in the form of a precision hole. On the other hand, if the external coupling element of the first coupling means and the external coupling element of the second coupling means are groove elements that accommodate spring elements, in this case, in addition to high dimensional accuracy, for example, a cylinder pin The advantage is that an additional auxiliary element of the coupling element such as can be abandoned.

  In this case, it is preferable if the first interval is different from the second interval. This arrangement avoids defects in securing the tobacco passage wall element to the passage foundation element, and avoids an approximately inclined state of the tobacco passage wall element because of the various distances and the erroneous passage of the tobacco passage. This is because it is impossible to connect the connecting element of the first connecting means of the wall element to the connecting element of the second connecting means of the passage base element and vice versa. In this case, when the first spacing is greater than the second spacing or when the coupling element of the second coupling means is arranged between the coupling elements of the first coupling means with respect to the longitudinal direction of the tobacco passage wall element, Particularly preferred. With such a configuration, it is intuitively recognized by the operator what position of the installation position where the coupling means can be formed at the time of installation.

  Furthermore, it is advantageous if at least one piece of the inner wall of the passage is made of hard metal. In this manner, the wear of the tobacco passage wall element is reduced based on the mechanical load.

  Finally, it is preferred if the first coupling means and the second coupling means further comprise at least one safety element, for example in the form of a screw coupling, which ensures a coupling between the tobacco channel wall element and the channel foundation element. This makes it possible to guarantee the coupling between the tobacco passage wall element and the passage foundation element not only for lateral loads but rather additionally for approximately tensile loads.

  Furthermore, this problem is solved by a tobacco passage system of the kind described above, wherein at least one of both tobacco passage wall elements is a tobacco passage wall element according to the invention, the passage foundation element has a first coupling means on the passage inner wall, The first coupling means is formed in a first installation position for being securely fixed to the tobacco passage wall element by at least one of the first coupling means of the tobacco passage wall element according to the invention, in this case the passage foundation element The first coupling means is provided complementary to the first coupling means of the tobacco passage wall element. This type of cigarette passage system has a special technical requirement for cigarette manufacture with few factors at the same time, with respect to loadability and dimensional accuracy, without having to use different individual elements for each cigarette passage width. It provides the advantage that different widths of filling tobacco passages can be formed.

  Finally, the present invention is such that the passage basic element of the first tobacco passage system is similarly formed as the passage basic element of the second tobacco passage system, and the second tobacco passage system includes the first tobacco passage system in the first tobacco passage system. Cigarette passage wall element, second tobacco passage wall element of the first tobacco passage system, second tobacco passage wall system The first tobacco passage wall element and the second tobacco passage wall element of the second tobacco passage system can be securely fixed to each other A passage arrangement device is provided. In this manner, a parallel cigarette passage with a structure that is particularly simple, space-saving and flexible in terms of passage width adaptation can be achieved, just for a double continuum making machine.

  The invention will now be described in detail without limitation of the general inventive idea on which it is based, with reference to the accompanying drawings of a particularly preferred embodiment, from which further advantages of the inventive idea will become apparent.

  FIG. 1 shows a pair of tobacco passage wall elements 1, 1 ′ according to the present invention, which in common form the lateral walls of the tobacco passage in the continuum formation area of the cigarette continuum making machine. The pair arrangement shown in FIG. 1 actually corresponds to a parallel arrangement inside the tobacco passage system, which additionally includes a complementary passage base element. Such a passage foundation element 2 is illustrated in FIG. The cigarette passage wall elements 1 and 1 'shown in FIG. 1 show that for reasons of perspective, the spacing between the tobacco passage wall elements 1 and 1' has been selected to be greater than in today's cigarette passage systems. Yes.

  The tobacco passage wall element 1, 1 ', given again in FIG. 1, is formed as a thin frame-like component, the longitudinal dimension of which is greater than the lateral dimension and is made of at least metal. As can be appreciated from FIG. 1, the exact shape of the tobacco passage wall elements 1, 1 ′ is adapted to the respective configuration of the continuum forming area of the cigarette continuum making machine; 'Has a special configuration, approximately like a void, in order to be able to adapt the tobacco passage wall elements 1, 1' to the continuum formation area.

  Each tobacco passage wall element 1, 1 ′ has two front faces on the longitudinal side as well as a passage inner wall (on the side facing each other) and a passage outer wall (on the side facing away from each other). In addition, the tobacco passage wall elements 1, 1 'each have one lower side and one upper side on each horizontal side. There are coupling means on the upper side surface and the basic side surface, and the basic side surfaces of the tobacco passage wall elements 1, 1 ′ are integrally connected to the passage basic element 2 by the coupling intermediate element.

  On the inner wall of the passage facing each other, the tobacco passage wall elements 1, 1 'have respective pieces 16, 16', which are hard metal of high hardness and high wear resistance, approximately sintered. Made of carbide hard metal. In the case of these pieces 16, 16 ', they are subjected to particularly high loads as the impact surface of the tobacco fibers brought into the tobacco passage from below and as the friction surface of the tobacco continuum conveyed from the continuum formation area. . Of course, the entire inner wall of the passage can also be made of hard metal.

  The hard metal elements of the pieces 16, 16 'are affixed to the cigarette passage wall elements 1, 1' with a strong adhesive and are additionally held by a screw connection played by bolts inserted into holes in the passage outer wall. The In order to reduce the resistance of the tobacco fibers brought into the tobacco passage from below, the pieces have fibers on their lower inner sides.

  The coupling means of the front tobacco passage wall element 1 includes first coupling means comprising two cylinder holes 11, 13 as coupling elements and second coupling means comprising two cylinder holes 12, 14 as coupling elements. The cylinder holes 11, 12, 13, 14 are formed to accommodate the cylinder pins, and therefore precision holes are formed with a slight tolerance, that is, a slight size and shape tolerance. For coupling with the passage base element 2, cylinder pins (not shown) are coupled to both cylinder holes 11, 13 of the first coupling means or to both cylinder holes 12, 14 of the second coupling means. Inserted as an intermediate element. Next, when only the front tobacco passage wall element 1 is clearly described, it is also provided with first and second coupling means each including a pair of cylinder holes 11 ', 13' and 12 ', 14'. It is pointed out that the same applies to the tobacco passage wall element 1 ′.

  Since the cylinder pins are manufactured with slight tolerances similar to the cylinder holes 11, 12, 13, 14 of the tobacco passage wall element 1, each cylinder pin is accommodated by the cylinder holes 11, 12, 13, 14 with almost no play. . The length of the cylinder pin is approximately twice the depth of the cylinder holes 11, 12, 13, 14. Therefore, the end pieces of the cylinder pins inserted into the cylinder holes 11, 12, 13, 14 protrude outward from the cylinder holes 11, 12, 13, 14. These end pieces are inserted into the cylinder holes 21, 22, 23, 24 shown in FIG. 2 of the passage base element 2, and these cylinder holes are likewise manufactured with slight tolerances, so that the cylinder pin is there. Can be installed almost without play. Through the use of this type of cylinder pin connection, a generally loose and tight connection is formed between the tobacco passage wall element 1 and the passage base element 2 as a whole.

  Other high precision coupling elements can of course be used instead of the coupling elements formed as cylinder holes. Accurate coupling is also possible by means of other snugly integrated coupling elements, for example by a combination of groove elements and spring elements, where the groove elements are in the tobacco passage wall element 1 and the spring elements are in the passage foundation element 2. Whether it is provided or vice versa is trivial in function. On the other hand, inaccurate couplings, i.e. couplings with play in the micrometer range, are not obtained, but rather conventional threaded couplings, which are obtained in all cases by several times the size scale, are not suitable.

  In order to additionally ensure that the cigarette passage wall element 1 is coupled to the passage foundation element 2, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, additional bolts arranged in the three holes 15, 15 'are safety elements. And the safety element engages the corresponding hole 25, 25 'of the passage base element 2 so as to hold both elements together. These safety elements are provided parallel to the axis of the cylinder pin and the cylinder holes 11, 12, 13, 14, but do not contribute to a tensile load that does not contribute to three-dimensionally fixing the tobacco passage wall element 1 to the passage base element 2. For this purpose, inaccurate connection types, ie approximately conventional screw connections, can be used for this purpose, as long as only connection is guaranteed. Instead, of course, other suitable safety elements can be inserted, such as approximately a stop journal.

  In order to achieve different installation positions with the tobacco passage wall element 1, it has two different coupling means, so that two sets of coupling elements, one with cylinder bores 11, 13 and the other with cylinder bores 12 , 14. Two mounting positions are realized by these two coupling means. If the tobacco passage wall element 1 is to be coupled with the passage base element 2 in the first installed position, cylinder pins are inserted into both outer cylinder holes 11, 13. In this form, each tobacco passage wall element 1, 1 ′ is arranged such that its inner wall has a constant spacing of 4.5 mm with respect to the center of the tobacco passage, and then gives a passage width of 9.0 mm as a whole. Is done.

  In contrast, if the tobacco passage wall element 1 is to be coupled with the passage foundation element 2 in the second installed position, cylinder pins are inserted into the inner cylinder holes 12,14. In this form, the tobacco passage wall element 1 is arranged such that its inner wall has a constant spacing of 4.0 mm with respect to the center of the tobacco passage and then gives a passage width of 8.0 mm as a whole.

  The different spacing of the passage inner wall from the passage center is on the one hand from the position of the cylinder bore 11, 13 or 12, 14 to the base side of the tobacco passage wall element 1 and on the other hand this complementary cylinder bore 21 of the passage base element 2, It becomes clear from the position of 23 or 22, 24. Thus, although the cylinder holes 11 and 13 of the tobacco passage wall element 1 mainly have the same distance as the cylinder holes 12 and 14 of the tobacco passage wall element 1 from the upper side of the passage inner wall, the cylinder holes 21 and 23 of the passage foundation element 2 are the passage foundation. The cylinder holes 22 and 24 of the element 2 are spaced apart from each other by 0.5 mm wider than the center of the passage. The same effect is naturally achieved when the cylinder bores 11, 13 and the cylinder bores 12, 14 of the tobacco passage wall element 1 are provided at different widths from the upper side of the passage inner wall, but instead the passage foundation. The cylinder holes 21, 23 and the cylinder holes 22, 24 of the element 2 have the same spacing from the center of the passage, or the cylinder holes 11, 13 and the cylinder holes 12, 14 of the tobacco passage wall element 1 and the cylinder of the passage base element 2 This is achieved when the holes 21, 23 and the cylinder holes 22, 24 have different spacings.

  In order to achieve different installation positions, both outer cylinder holes 11, 13 or both inner cylinder holes 12, 14 are used to connect the tobacco passage wall element 1 with the passage foundation element 2. The first gap, i.e., the gap between the cylinder hole 11 and the cylinder hole 13, is different from the second gap, i.e., the gap between the cylinder hole 12 and the cylinder hole 14, so that the cigarette passage wall element 1 is tilted by mistake. And the tobacco passage wall element 1 can be coupled to the passage foundation element 2 in combination with the cylinder hole 14 via the cylinder hole 11 or in combination with the cylinder hole 13 via the cylinder hole 12. This alignment is prevented from occurring approximately.

  Currently, the first spacing is selected to be greater than the second spacing, and the cigarette passage wall element 1 of the tobacco passage wall element 1 is such that the cylinder holes 12, 14 of the second coupling means lie between the cylinder holes 11, 13 of the first coupling means. Located on the side of the foundation. Since the large distance between the cylinder holes 11 and 13 corresponds to the installation position having a large passage width, it is determined which cylinder hole at the desired installation position should be used by a person commissioned to modify the cigarette continuous forming machine. It can be grasped intuitively.

  If the tobacco passage wall element is suitable for more than one installation position, then of course, further coupling means can of course be provided on the base side which likewise consists of a set of cylinder holes in the reproduction of this embodiment.

  Furthermore, it is of course possible that each coupling means has two or more cylinder holes. In any case, it would be possible to further increase the high stability of the coupling between the tobacco passage wall element 1 and the passage foundation element 2 by using another coupling element. In this case, it is noted that the distance between the outer cylinder holes of each coupling means is finished to a different size in order to guarantee an intuitive grasping of the installation position. In addition, the first coupling means and the second coupling means can have different numbers of coupling elements. In this case, the individual coupling elements of one coupling means are not only different from the individual coupling elements of the other coupling means, but are also the same. This is particularly the case in the case of the first coupling means comprising two or more coupling elements, in which the internal coupling elements respectively arranged between the external coupling elements are the same as the internal or external coupling elements of the second coupling means. Regarding when to get.

  FIG. 2 shows a passage foundation element 2 which is laid for a double continuum making machine and is therefore provided for two different tobacco passages. In this case, the individual passage foundation elements are integrated into a single double passage foundation element 2 in each of the two systems. In this case, the common passage foundation element 2 is tightly coupled with the two sets of tobacco passage wall elements and is coupled with four individual tobacco passage wall elements, each of which can be fixed in a different installation position. Therefore, this type of tobacco passage wall element includes two tobacco passage systems, each with one tobacco passage. For the sake of prospect, the description mainly limits the only tobacco passage system, ie the front tobacco passage system; of course the same applies to the rear tobacco passage system.

  Each cigarette passage system possesses a unique conveying means for transporting the tobacco continuum from the continuum formation area in the passage direction; this is formed as a negative pressure cigarette conveying means (not shown in FIG. 2) ). Each negative pressure cigarette conveying means includes a suction belt and a belt guide element that run along the lower surface of the passage base element 2 in parallel with the inner wall of the passage located inside the passage. The latter can be formed approximately as a roller base, either stationary or movable depending on the configuration of the suction belt. In order to allow full suction of the tobacco fibers in the suction belt, the passage basic element 2 has a suction air opening 27 through which the suction air is reached from the tobacco passage into the negative pressure range by the suction belt. The

  The passage foundation element 2 has a passage inner wall on the lower side which can be tightly coupled with the foundation side of the tobacco passage wall elements 1, 1 ′. For this purpose, the passage base element 2 has first and second coupling means on the inner wall of the passage. The first coupling means includes a set of cylinder holes 21, 23 as a first coupling element and a set of cylinder holes 22, 24 as a second coupling element for coupling with the first front tobacco passage wall element 1. . For coupling with the second rear tobacco passage wall element 1 ′, the passage base element 2 further comprises a set of cylinder holes 21 ′, 23 ′ as a first coupling means and another set of cylinders as a second coupling element. It has holes 22 'and 24'.

  As described above, the cylinder hole 21 is provided so as to connect the cylinder hole 11 of the first tobacco passage wall element 1 and the passage base element 2, and the cylinder hole 22 is connected to the cylinder hole 12 of the first tobacco passage wall element 1. The passage base element 2 is provided for coupling, the cylinder hole 23 is provided for coupling the cylinder hole 13 of the first tobacco passage wall element 1 and the passage base element 2, and the cylinder hole 24 is provided for the first tobacco passage wall element. 1 cylinder hole 14 and the passage base element 2 are provided to be coupled.

  Correspondingly, the cylinder hole 21 ′ is provided to connect the cylinder hole 11 ′ of the second tobacco passage wall element 1 ′ and the passage base element 2, and the cylinder hole 22 is provided in the cylinder hole of the second tobacco passage wall element 1 ′. 12 ′ and the passage base element 2 are provided to be coupled to each other, and the cylinder hole 23 ′ is provided to couple the cylinder hole 13 ′ of the first tobacco passage wall element 1 ′ to the passage base element 2 and the cylinder hole 24 ′. Is provided so as to couple the cylinder bore 14 ′ of the first tobacco passage wall element 1 ′ with the passage base element 2.

  Therefore, this configuration is further provided in a complementary manner to the respective cylinder holes 11, 12, 13, 14 of the cigarette passage wall element 1 corresponding to the cylinder holes 21, 22, 23, 24 of the passage base element 2. As such, the complementary cylinder holes each correspond to their respective elements with respect to their arrangement and position.

  Therefore, the cigarette passage wall on the one hand is provided by cylinder bores 11, 12, 13, 14 and 11 ', 12', 13 ', 14' provided complementary to the respective installation positions of the cigarette passage wall elements 1, 1 '. The elements 1, 1 ′ and the other are fixed to the cylinder holes 21, 22, 23, 24, 21 ′, 22 ′, 23 ′, 24 ′ of the passage basic element 2. Therefore, the tobacco passage wall elements 1, 1 ′ can be aligned parallel to and spaced from each other, and the passage width, ie between the inner wall of the first tobacco passage wall element 1 and the second tobacco passage wall element 1 ′. The interval can be selected.

  Naturally, it is possible to change the width of the cigarette passage by simply changing the installation position of each unique cigarette passage wall element instead of the installation position of both cigarette passage wall elements. However, this type of single-sided adaptation moves the center of the passageway and thereby the center of the cigarette continuum, so this type of single-sided fit is different from the cigarette continuum machine. It requires a separate adaptation process that is modified to accommodate the processing area.
