Description

本発明は、フィルタ繊維ストランドを誘導する方法ならびに部材、および、フィルタロッド製作機を対象とする。   The present invention is directed to a method and member for guiding filter fiber strands, and a filter rod making machine.

たばこ加工産業では、フィルタシガレットを製造するために使用するフィルタロッド製作機が使用されるが、フィルタロッドは複数のフィルタ繊維を含む連続フィルタロッドを切断することにより形成される。連続フィルタロッドはアセテートストランドを狭路内で徐々に圧縮することにより製造され、ロッドは通常、円形断面を有する。連続フィルタロッドはラッパーに包み、その後切断機構により特定の長さのロッドに分割する。切断は、周囲にナイフを配置した回転切断ヘッドを用いて行われるが、切断ヘッドの回転軸は水平面に対してある角度をなして置かれる。連続フィルタロッドの形成時に、香味物質付きビーズまたは特別な特徴を有する他の物体を置く場合、該ビーズまたは物体はロッド先端に対し特定の設置位置に置かれることが予測される。ロッドにおいてビーズの軸方向位置が許容公差範囲以外にある場合、該ロッドは不良品としてはねられ生産廃棄物となる。   In the tobacco processing industry, filter rod making machines used to produce filter cigarettes are used, which are formed by cutting continuous filter rods containing a plurality of filter fibers. Continuous filter rods are manufactured by gradually compressing acetate strands in narrow passages, the rods usually having a circular cross section. The continuous filter rod is wrapped in a wrapper and then divided into rods of a specific length by a cutting mechanism. Cutting is performed using a rotary cutting head with a knife around it, and the axis of rotation of the cutting head is placed at an angle to the horizontal plane. When placing a scented bead or other object with special characteristics during the formation of a continuous filter rod, it is expected that the bead or object will be placed in a particular location relative to the rod tip. If the axial position of the beads in the rod is outside the allowable tolerance range, the rod is rejected as a defective product and becomes a production waste.

ビーズ含フィルタロッド製作用機械は特許文献１：国際公開第２０１２／０４２３４３号に開示されている。ビーズは回転縦軸付き送出ホイールを用いて連続フィルタロッドに配置する。上記出願において、送出ホイールと共に動作する部材は一体構造を有し、これによりフィルタ繊維軸に沿って空気を排出することができる。   A bead-containing filter rod manufacturing machine is disclosed in Patent Document 1: International Publication No. 2012/042343. The beads are placed on a continuous filter rod using a delivery wheel with a rotating longitudinal axis. In the above application, the member operating with the delivery wheel has a unitary structure, which allows air to be exhausted along the filter fiber axis.

特許文献２：米国特許出願公開第２０１３／１０２４４５Ａ１号明細書にも、香味または芳香性物質付きビーズを含むフィルタロッド製作用機械が開示されている。ビーズは、回転横軸付き送出ホイールを用いて連続アセテートロッドに配置する。この解決手段にはまた、前掲特許文献１と類似した、一体構造を有するホイールと共に動作する部材が含まれる。   Patent Document 2: US Patent Application Publication No. 2013 / 102445A1 also discloses a filter rod manufacturing machine including beads with flavor or fragrance. The beads are placed on a continuous acetate rod using a delivery wheel with a rotating horizontal axis. This solution also includes a member that works with a wheel having a unitary structure, similar to the above-mentioned US Pat.

国際公開第２０１２／０４２３４３号International Publication No. 2012/042343 米国特許出願公開第２０１３／１０２４４５Ａ１号明細書US Patent Application Publication No. 2013 / 102445A1

上記に示した解決方法は、ビーズをフィルタ繊維ストランドに配置することについて、適切な再現性を保証するものではない。フィルタ繊維の送出速度を上げると、物体、例えばビーズを配置する精度は落ちる。本発明は上記課題を解決する。   The solution presented above does not guarantee adequate reproducibility for placing the beads on the filter fiber strands. Increasing the delivery rate of the filter fibers decreases the accuracy with which objects, such as beads, are placed. The present invention solves the above problems.

ビーズ含フィルタロッド製作用機械の操作時に、ロッドにおけるビーズ位置の再現性に関わる非常に重要な要素は、空気をフィルタ繊維間の空間より連続ロッドの外側へ効率的に排出することだということに期せずして気付いた。加えて、空気排出の効率性の重要性は、ロッド製造のスピードが上がるにつれ高まる。効率的な空気排出が行われない場合、繊維は一時的に変化する速度で移動し、ロッド軸に沿ってビーズの周囲に不均等に分散し、ビーズ自体は完成ロッドにおいて不適切な位置に置かれることになる。   When operating a bead-containing filter rod production machine, a very important factor in the reproducibility of the bead position in the rod is to efficiently exhaust air from the space between the filter fibers to the outside of the continuous rod. I noticed it unexpectedly. In addition, the importance of air discharge efficiency increases as the speed of rod production increases. In the absence of efficient air exhaust, the fibers move at a temporarily varying speed, disperse unevenly around the beads along the rod axis, and the beads themselves are improperly positioned on the finished rod. Will be.

本発明はフィルタ繊維ストランドを、タバコ産業機械にある、物体を該フィルタ繊維ストランドに配置するエリアに誘導する部材を対象にする。該部材は、物体をフィルタ繊維ストランドに供給する装置と共に動作するように構成し、供給部材または物体供給装置の部材が移動するスロットと、フィルタ繊維ストランド用入口開口と、フィルタ繊維ストランド用出口開口と、入口開口および出口開口を結合する誘導路と、を有する。該部材は、変換したフィルタ繊維ストランドを安定させ、物体配置の精度を向上させる通気孔を備えることを特徴とする。   The present invention is directed to a member that directs a filter fiber strand to an area in a tobacco industry machine where an object is placed on the filter fiber strand. The member is configured to operate with a device for supplying an object to the filter fiber strand, a slot through which the supply member or object supply member moves, an inlet opening for the filter fiber strand, and an outlet opening for the filter fiber strand. A guide path connecting the inlet opening and the outlet opening. The member is characterized by including a vent hole that stabilizes the converted filter fiber strand and improves the accuracy of object placement.

本発明の部材は、スロットの両側に位置する孔を有する。   The member of the present invention has holes located on both sides of the slot.

本発明は物体を含むフィルタロッド製作用タバコ産業機械を対象とし、該機械は、フィルタ繊維ストランド用処理ユニットと、連続フィルタロッド変換ユニットと、物体供給ユニットと、連続ロッドを個別ロッドに切断するユニットと、を備える。該機械は本発明の部材を有することを特徴とする。   The present invention is directed to a filter rod producing tobacco industry machine that includes an object, which machine includes a processing unit for filter fiber strands, a continuous filter rod conversion unit, an object supply unit, and a unit that cuts continuous rods into individual rods. And comprising. The machine is characterized by having the member of the present invention.

本発明の機械は、物体をフィルタ繊維ストランドに供給するための、送出ホイールを有する装置を備える。   The machine according to the invention comprises a device with a delivery wheel for feeding an object to the filter fiber strands.

本発明はまた、フィルタ繊維ストランドを、タバコ産業機械にある、物体を該フィルタ繊維ストランドに配置するエリアに誘導する方法を対象にする。物体をフィルタ繊維ストランドに供給する装置と共に動作するフィルタ繊維ストランド誘導用部材において、該繊維誘導用部材は供給部材または物体供給装置の部材が移動するスロットを有し、ここにおいて、ストランドは誘導路内をフィルタ繊維用入口開口からフィルタ繊維ストランド用出口開口へ誘導される。本発明の方法は、フィルタストランドの繊維間に含まれる余分な空気を通気孔を通じて排出し、フィルタ繊維の変換ストランドを安定させ、物体配置の精度を向上させることを特徴とする。   The present invention is also directed to a method of directing a filter fiber strand to an area in a tobacco industry machine where an object is placed on the filter fiber strand. A filter fiber strand guide member operating with a device for supplying an object to a filter fiber strand, the fiber guide member having a slot through which the supply member or object supply device member moves, wherein the strand is within the guide channel From the filter fiber inlet opening to the filter fiber strand outlet opening. The method of the present invention is characterized in that excess air contained between the fibers of the filter strands is exhausted through the vent holes, the conversion strands of the filter fibers are stabilized, and the accuracy of object placement is improved.

物体配置エリアにおいて通気を使用することにより、ロッド製作機をより早い速度でより安定して操作することが実現可能となる。加えて、軸方向に物体を配置する際の精度と再現性の向上という形の、より好適な効果が観察された。フィルタ繊維ストランドを誘導し空気を排出する方法および部材の利点は、横断面において、ビーズの周囲にアセテート繊維をより均一に分散させることである。   By using ventilation in the object placement area, it is possible to operate the rod making machine at a faster speed and more stably. In addition, more favorable effects were observed in the form of improved accuracy and reproducibility when placing objects in the axial direction. An advantage of the method and member for guiding the filter fiber strands and exhausting air is that the acetate fibers are more evenly distributed around the beads in the cross section.

以下、本発明の対象を図面に示す好適な実施形態につき詳細に説明する。   The subject matter of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to preferred embodiments shown in the drawings.

The members 6A and 6B for guiding the strands have a plurality of holes and efficiently remove and discharge the air accumulated between the fibers through the holes 18. This makes it possible to place an object at the axial center of the continuous filter rod while maintaining high reproducibility. By efficiently removing air in the object placement area, the reproducibility of the placement of the object in the longitudinal direction is improved. In this area, the fiber strand is finally converted into a continuous rod having a specific diameter.
