Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cigarette filter transfer device, and more particularly, to a cigarette filter transport device that is capable of controlling the physical characteristics of a cigarette filter, such as weight, length, airflow resistance, and diameter. This invention relates to a cigarette filter transfer device that is useful for continuously transferring cigarette filters, etc. to a measurement unit that automatically measures such substances. [Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] Currently, cigarette filters are usually made from acetate fibers, and after uniformly spraying and adding a plasticizer to a bundle of acetate fiber filaments, they are made using wrapping paper. It is rolled into a cylindrical shape, and then formed into a fixed size such as 120 strokes with a length of 102 mm. A cigarette filter (hereinafter referred to as a filter plug) is produced. This filter plug is then cut to a certain length and made into cigarettes.
By connecting it to the filter, a cigarento with a filter is created.

On the other hand, the production volume of cigarentos and filter plugs is enormous. In addition, during manufacturing, shipping and receiving of products, we take into account the characteristics of the filter plugs, such as
Strict quality control is required regarding physical properties such as weight, length, and ventilation resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to quickly and accurately measure a large number of parameters for a huge number of filter plugs, etc., and to process the data accurately. In view of the above points, one of the applicants previously proposed a device for automatically measuring the physical characteristics of filter plugs, etc.

In addition, the filter plug accommodated in the sake (62d) is pressed by the rod (71), and the length of the filter plug is measured from the length of the rondo (71) when the filter plug contacts the opposing block. The hardness of the filter plug housed in the filter plug (62e) is measured by a hardness measuring device (72). Therefore, according to the above-mentioned apparatus, the filter plug can be sequentially fed laterally by the vertical movement of the feed dog mechanism (66), and the physical characteristics of the filter plug can be continuously measured by each measuring device.

However, according to the above device, feed dog machine I (6
Since the filter plug is moved up and down in accordance with the up-and-down movement of step 6) and is sequentially fed laterally, there is a risk that the filter plug may wrinkle or break due to impact during transportation.

In particular, since the filter plug is easily charged with static electricity, is a non-rigid body, and is flexible, it is difficult to transfer the filter plug to the measuring section without causing deformation or the like. Furthermore, if the filter plug is deformed, the measurement accuracy will decrease, making it difficult to perform sufficient quality control.

Although it is also possible to grasp the filter plug with a jig instead of the feed dog mechanism (66) and transfer it to the measuring device, since the filter plug is flexible as described above,
A similar problem arises as in Book L.

An object of the present invention is to be able to smoothly transfer a filter plug to each measuring device without causing deformation when transferring the filter plug to a measuring device, and to check the physical characteristics smoothly and accurately at each measuring section.
