Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a machine, in particular a filter-attachment machine, for combining smoking article components of the tobacco-processing industry.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a multifunctional drum and a conveying drum for articles in the tobacco-processing industry.
  • German patent document DE-C-39 18 137 which corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 5,054,346, describes a tipping paper apparatus for a filter-attachment machine.
  • Glue-coated tipping paper is supplied as endless tipping paper web and is cut into individual sections and/or uniting bands with a cutting device. Following the cutting, the uniting bands are separated and their speed adjusted to the conveying speed for the transported batches of cigarette-filter-cigarette groups.
  • the endless tipping paper web is transported with a constant paper movement speed in the region upstream of a glue apparatus, up to the point where the glue is applied.
  • the paper-movement length fluctuates with the production cycle.
  • the tipping paper sections are held in place by the suction roller and are transported with a uniform speed, which is higher than the movement speed of the endless tipping paper web.
  • the circumferential speed of the suction roller matches the speed of the cigarette-filter plug-cigarette groups transported in batches.
  • the paper movement length in the region between glue application and cutting on the suction roller is continuously shortened during the knife intervention to result in a slack portion developing in the paper movement in front of the suction roller.
  • the conveying speed of the endless tipping paper web is lower than the withdrawing speed of the suction roller, a sufficient paper length is always available such that the paper is not moved relative to the roller during the knife intervention and a clean cut is possible.
  • the paper is pulled back relative to the roller by lengthening the paper path between glue application point and suction roller, thus resulting in an average paper-movement speed that matches the cigarette production speed that is lower than the circumferential speed of the suction roller.
  • the paper movement speed therefore fluctuates constantly around an average value. The amplitude of these speed fluctuations is directly proportional to the length of an individual band and the spacing between the tobacco articles conveyed in batches.
  • German Patent Document DE-A-196 26 679 discloses a dual-path filter-attachment machine for a cigarette production machine which comprises two different conveying paths for the tobacco articles, one for attaching and one for rolling-over the tipping section.
  • European Patent Document EP-A-1 108 369 discloses that the cigarette-filter-cigarette groups are provided with a filler section in which only each first group of a series of cigarette-filter-cigarette groups on a first drum is provided with a tipping band from a first tipping apparatus and each second group is conveyed out of the conveying path of the first group and is provided on a second drum with a tipping paper from a second apparatus.
  • the wrapping of the two separate groups with the tipping bands also occurs in separate rolling apparatuses.
  • the groups are subsequently combined to form alternating series of groups, but only after the respective roll-over operation.
  • one filter plug and/or one mouthpiece is inserted in a filter-attachment machine between cut tobacco rods that are spaced apart in a longitudinal axial direction, wherein a glue-coated uniting band is subsequently attached to a cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette group.
  • a suction roller supplies the glue-coated uniting band to a tipping apparatus with a defined spacing of the cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette group, wherein a defined spacing in this case refers in particular to a spacing determined by the length of the uniting-band sections.
  • the present invention includes a method for combining smoking article components.
  • Cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette articles of a first group are supplied to a first tipping apparatus.
  • Cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette articles of a second group are supplied to a second tipping apparatus.
  • Each of the articles of the first group and the second group are provided with a uniting band at the respective tipping apparatus.
  • the articles of the first group and the articles of the second group are transported to a joint rolling apparatus.
  • Each of the articles of the first group and the second group are wrapped with the respective uniting band at the joint rolling apparatus.
  • the present invention further includes an arrangement for a filter-attachment machine of the tobacco-processing industry.
  • a first tipping apparatus applies respective uniting bands to articles of a first cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette group
  • a second tipping apparatus applies respective uniting bands to articles of a second cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette group.
  • a joint rolling apparatus wraps each of the articles of the first group and the second group with the respective uniting bands.
  • the method according to the present invention thus permits operation of a single-track filter-attachment machine at a high production speed since the tipping paper feed to the articles has a dual design, so that one half of the articles (a first group) is provided with uniting bands by one tipping apparatus and the other half (a second group) is provided with uniting bands by another tipping apparatus.
  • a first group is provided with uniting bands by one tipping apparatus
  • a second group is provided with uniting bands by another tipping apparatus.
  • the articles of the first and second group are initially supplied to a first tipping apparatus at which the articles of the first group are provided with a uniting band by the first tipping apparatus. Subsequently, the articles of the first and second group are supplied on different conveying paths to the joint rolling apparatus, at which the articles of the second group are supplied along their conveying path to a second tipping apparatus where they are respectively provided with a uniting band.
  • the conveying speed of the first and/or second group in particular is varied before and/or after the transfer of the respective uniting band.
  • the speed of the transported articles relative to the tipping-paper supply can thus be adapted through deliberately controlling the tobacco article speed.
  • the speed can be adapted before, during and after the uniting bands are glued on, independent of the speed for the remaining production flow and the paper-movement speed in the filter-attachment machine.
  • the tobacco articles are moved individually, in pairs or in any optional multiple arrangement, wherein not only the speed changes, but also the spacing between the tobacco articles.
  • the articles from the first and/or second group are slowed down prior to the transfer of the uniting band.
  • the articles of the first and/or second group can be accelerated again following the transfer of the uniting band.
  • the speed change can either refer to a reduction or an increase in the speed of the transported tobacco articles relative to their starting speed and/or the average transport speed.
  • the functional separation of the speed change in the paper movement speed from transporting speed and the distance between the tobacco articles to which the tipping-paper band is glued can be critical. Viewed locally and with respect to time, having the same transport speed for paper and tobacco articles is required only for the gluing operation of the tipping paper sections to the articles of the first and/or second group.
  • the tipping paper supply speeds are thusly adapted to the transport speeds of the tobacco articles to which the tipping paper sections are glued.
  • the spacing between the tobacco articles to be transported can also be reduced during the gluing operation to stabilize the production process.
  • the required spacing for separating the tipping paper sections is minimized, and the speed changes in the paper movement that are caused by the paper pullback (through the oscillator of the tipping apparatus) are reduced.
  • fewer traction force fluctuations occur in the paper movement between the glue-application location and the location where the tipping paper sections are cut.
  • the invention therefore ensures a secure and stable production with simultaneously lower sensitivity of the method to fluctuations in the characteristics of the production material.
  • a further improvement is achieved through partially attaching the uniting bands after they are transferred to the articles of the first and/or second group.
  • European Patent Application No. 020 235 24.8 discloses joining an exposed end of the uniting band to a cigarette-filter plug-cigarette group.
  • a folding star or a so-called rolling star is provided for joining a free end of a uniting band to a tobacco article.
  • the articles of the second group are taken from the joint conveying drum .
  • the articles of the first and second group are supplied to the tipping apparatus for the first group before the articles of the second group are removed.
  • the articles of the first and second group are arranged in an alternating pattern on a conveying drum before the uniting bands are transferred to the first group.
  • the articles of the first and second group furthermore are advantageously arranged in an alternating pattern on a conveying drum when the article groups are combined, so that the articles are supplied to the joint rolling apparatus.
  • the uniting bands are transferred with a constant speed to the articles of the first and/or second group.
  • At least one conveying drum for which the spacing between the articles of the first and/or second group can be changed is provided for tipping the articles with a uniting band.
  • conveying drum can be advantageously designed with small arms, brackets, levers or the like for which the spacing in conveying direction can be varied, such that the transported articles are accelerated or decelerated relative to the conveying speed of a conveying drum.
  • the conveying drum is provided with pivoting lever segments, such that the lever segments can be arranged so as to pivot on a drum body.
  • the transported articles can be accelerated or decelerated relative to the rotational speed of the conveying drum as a result of the pivoting of the lever segments during the conveying drum rotation.
  • At least one feeder element is provided for fitting at least one exposed end of a tipping paper section to the articles of the first and/or second group. This results in a reduction of the spacing on a conveying drum of the partially joined components such that the tipping paper section adheres better to the article groups during the subsequent wrapping.
  • a multifunctional drum is provided for processing the articles of the first and second group.
  • the multifunctional drum can be designed such that at least one exposed end of a tipping paper section is joined to an article group and that another article group is removed from a conveying drum.
  • the multifunctional conveying drum combines the function of a feeder element and a removal drum.
  • the production sequences at the machine are shortened by exercising both functions, which can be carried out simultaneously.
  • costs are saved because only one operating process is required in place of two.
  • a conveying drum can include a pivoting lever.
  • the spacing between the articles and/or article groups can be changed with these lever segments, such that the articles on a conveying drum are accelerated or decelerated.
  • the lever segments furthermore are provided with recesses or grooves, designed for a careful transport of the articles to a filter-attachment machine.
  • At least one spacer is preferably provided on the lever segment for holding the free end of the tipping paper section.
