Description
- The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of German Patent Application No. 10 2005 011 543.8, filed on Mar. 10, 2005, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a conveyor drum of the tobacco-processing industry with seats for rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry and displacement devices for the longitudinally axial displacement of the rod-shaped articles in the seats. The conveyor drum is used in combination with a cutting device for cutting the rod-shaped articles, and the cutting device is arranged on the conveyor drum.
- 2. Discussion of Background Information
- Conveyor drums of the type mentioned at the outset are also called “pusher/cutter drums,” which comprise a combination of a transport drum and at least one cutting device or a cutting knife for the transported articles. These drums are commonly used in the course of finishing filter rods and filter cigarettes, whereby filter rod components of multiple unit length are prepared for being subsequently combined with further filter components or smokers' product components in a so-called “transverse process,” i.e., transverse to their longitudinal axes, by being subdivided once or several times, staggered and lined up one behind the other. To this end, a plurality of conveyor drums is necessary to carry out the processing steps. In the course of these processing and handling steps, in particular a defined longitudinally axial positioning or mutual alignment of the filter rod components in their receiving troughs necessary for a separation cut on consecutive filter rod components is important for the number of drums determining the length of the conveyor path.
-
EP A 1 013 181 discloses a pusher/cutter drum, whereby the smokers' product components or filter pieces are displaced pneumatically in the receiving troughs against stops of adjustable length by the application of suction air to suction bores of the seats. - Accordingly, the present invention provides a pusher/cutter drum so that even very short rod-shaped articles, i.e., in particular where their length is shorter than their diameter, or hollow rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry can be reliably transported and finished.
- The invention provides a conveyor drum of the tobacco-processing industry with seats for rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry and displacing devices for the longitudinally axial displacement of the rod-shaped articles in the seats. Further, a cutting device for cutting the rod-shaped articles, in combination with the conveyor drum, is arranged on the conveyor drum. The displacing devices are embodied or formed as mechanically operable and moveable pushers.
- A conveyor drum according to the invention is used in particular in the finishing of filter rod components that are removed from a magazine in multiple unit lengths and cut. In order to sever the cut filter rod components again, it is necessary to transfer them in a transverse axial row formation. To this end, a longitudinally axial displacement of sequentially staggered articles in a transverse axial row cutting formation is carried out. In this manner, the rod-shaped articles according to the invention are aligned by mechanically operable and moveable pushers. It is thus possible to longitudinally axially displace or align reliably in the receiving troughs, for example, even small filter pieces or hollow filter pieces and subsequently to cut them on the conveyor drum.
- Handling small or very short filter pieces or rod-shaped articles, i.e., in particular where their length is shorter than their diameter, or hollow filter pieces, is difficult or sometimes impossible with conveyor drums or pusher/cutter drums in which the articles are displaced longitudinally axially in a pneumatic manner, since short filter pieces tend to fall over. An additional disadvantage of pneumatic displacement is the very deep embodiment of the receiving troughs. The deeper a trough, the more complicated the transfer of the rod-shaped articles to a following drum. In contrast, when using the mechanical pusher according to the invention, a receiving trough on the conveyor drum can be embodied flatter in order to ensure a reliable transfer to the following drum. Moreover, a great deal of suction air is saved through the mechanical pusher, since the articles are no longer moved pneumatically, but mechanically, and therefore fewer suction bores are necessary on the transport drum. The available suction bores have primarily the function of holding the conveyed articles in the troughs.
- In a preferred embodiment, the pushers are longitudinally displaceable with respect to the seats so that the pushers align and position exactly the rod-shaped articles taken up with respect to the cutting plane of the cutting device. To cut the aligned articles, one or more cutting knives are provided as a cutting device on the conveyor drum.
- In particular, the pushers are arranged mutually alternating in the transverse axial direction of the seats, so that the pushers are aligned with respect to the plane of the cutting knives or the cutting device alternately with respect to the cutting plane.
- A simplification of the sequence of motions is achieved when several pushers can be moved with one another simultaneously. To this end, several pushers are arranged, for example, on a holder, so that the pushers reliably align the articles with respect to the cutting plane by a movement of the holder.
- To this end, it is provided that the pushers execute a predetermined longitudinally axial stroke.
- Furthermore, it is preferred if, with respect to the cutting plane of the cutting device, the seats respectively have a different number of suction bores that can be acted on with a vacuum on the two sides of the cutting plane. Through this, in the receiving troughs a low and sufficient number of suction bores are acted on with a vacuum in an efficient manner, which suction bores ensure a secure reception and longitudinally axial guiding of the conveyed or cut articles.
- In particular, the conveyor drum is embodied in combination with the cutting device as a so-called pusher/cutter drum.
- Furthermore, the invention relates to a machine of the tobacco-processing industry, in particular filter manufacturing machine or filter tipping machine, which is equipped with an above-mentioned conveyor drum according to the invention. To avoid repetition, reference is expressly made to the above statements.
- The present invention is directed to a conveyor drum of the tobacco-processing industry. The conveyor drum includes seats structured and arranged for rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry, displacement devices, composed of mechanically operable and moveable pushers, structured and arranged for longitudinal axial displacement of the rod-shaped articles in the seats, and a region structured and arranged to receive a cutting device.
- According to a feature of the invention, the above-noted conveyor drum is combined with the cutting device. The cutting device is structured and arranged for cutting the rod-shaped articles, and the cutting device is arranged on the conveyor drum.
- In accordance with another feature of the instant invention, the pushers may be longitudinally displaceable with respect to the seats.
