Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a machine for producing multi-segment rods, used in tobacco industry, comprising a system for automatic removal of segments from a collecting belt, and to a method for cleaning a collecting belt of a machine for producing multi-segment rods.
  • Tobacco industry products such as cigarettes, may comprise segment filters (for example in a form of segments) with various filtering materials.
  • the segments may have a form of rod-like elements having filtering properties or rod-like elements having non-filtering properties, for example comprising aromatic capsules or paper tubes.
  • the segments are fed from containers, by transferring devices, onto a collecting transporter, and subsequently are transferred by a transferring module onto a garniture transporter, on which the segments are wrapped into a wrapper.
  • a British patent application GB1253617 presents a device for removing rod-like elements, in particular tobacco rods, which remained on a feeding path between a cutting head and a collecting drum after the machine was stopped. Before each subsequent restarting of the machine, the tobacco rods are removed from the path by converting their movement into transverse direction with respect to their longitudinal axis, by downwardly deflecting one side of a bar on which they are transported. It relates to tobacco rods, which are cut from a continuous rod into rods having a specified length. However, it does not solve the problem of removing segments from a collecting transporter, which is located at the opposite side of the cutting head, and removing the segments from transferring devices.
  • a European patent application EP1883318 presents a method for operating a machine for manufacturing tobacco articles.
  • the method presents a method for cleaning the machine or a unit comprised in the machine, when an error has been detected by a control system. After detecting the error, a sensor sends an information to the control unit, which activates a process of cleaning the machine or the unit on which the error occurred.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is that it does not solve the problem of cleaning the collecting transporter from the remaining segments after each interruption of operation of the machine, regardless of whether the error occurred or not.
  • the presented method relates only to a situation in which only a device on which the error was detected by the sensors is cleaned.
  • a machine for producing multi-segment rods for use in tobacco industry comprising: at least one feeding module for placing segments in a train, one after the other, on a collecting transporter for transporting the segments along a predefined transporting path in a direction towards a garniture transporter; a transferring module for transferring the segments from the collecting transporter onto the garniture transporter; the garniture transporter for transporting segments on a wrapper; a garniture device for wrapping the wrapper around the train of the segments to form a continuous rod; a cutting head for cutting the continuous rod into multi-segment rods; and a shifting mechanism for dislocating the collecting transporter with respect to the predefined transporting path to a cleaning position, wherein the segments while being transported on the collecting transporter are not in contact with any of the feeding modules.
  • the segments When the collecting transporter is in the cleaning position, the segments, while being transported on the collecting transporter, may be not in contact with the transferring module.
  • the collecting transporter may be arranged along all the feeding modules.
  • the collecting transporter may be configured to be dislocated by changing its position with respect to the predefined transporting path by a distance in a range from 4 to 200 mm, preferably from 4 to 50 mm.
  • the collecting transporter may be configured to be dislocated by changing its position with respect to the predefined transporting path in a downward direction.
  • the collecting transporter may be mounted on at least one articulated arm.
  • the shifting mechanism may comprise at least two guides arranged angularly with respect to each other and a supporting element cooperating with the guides, wherein the supporting element is linearly movable.
  • the supporting element may be movable by means of a cylinder.

  • the removing device may be configured to blow compressed air.
  • the machine may further comprise a controller for activating the shifting mechanism after interruption of operation of the machine that results from predefined types of interruption.
  • a method for cleaning a machine for producing multi-segment rods for use in tobacco industry comprising: at least one feeding module for placing segments in a train, one after the other, on a collecting transporter for transporting the segments along a predefined transporting path in a direction towards a garniture transporter; a transferring module for transferring the segments from the collecting transporter onto the garniture transporter; the garniture transporter for transporting segments on a wrapper; a garniture device for wrapping the wrapper around the train of the segments to form a continuous rod; a cutting head for cutting the continuous rod into multi-segment rods; wherein the method comprises the steps of: dislocating the collecting transporter with respect to the predefined transporting path to a cleaning position, wherein the segments while being transported on the collecting transporter are not in contact with any of the feeding modules; and removing the segments from the collecting transporter while the collecting transporter is in the cleaning position.
  • the method may further comprise activating movement of the collecting transporter after it is dislocated to the cleaning position.
  • the segments When the collecting transporter is in the cleaning position, the segments, while being transported on the collecting transporter, may be not in contact with the transferring module.
  • the method may comprise dislocating the collecting transporter by changing its position with respect to the predefined transporting path by a distance in a range from 4 to 200 mm, preferably from 4 to 50 mm.
  • the method may comprise dislocating the collecting transporter by changing its position with respect to the predefined transporting path in a downward direction.
  • the method may further comprise removing the segments from transferring devices.
  • the method may comprise removing the segments from the transferring devices before removing the segments from the collecting transporter.
  • the method may comprise removing the segments from the transferring devices by means of compressed air.
  • the method may comprise activating the shifting mechanism after interruption of operation of the machine resulting from predefined types of interruption.
  • the solution presented herein allows producing filter rods in a more effective way by eliminating the need for manual cleaning of the collecting transporter from the remaining segments or removing blocked segments from the transferring devices, which would be time-consuming and require involvement of an operator. Moreover, implementation of such solution on the machine is cheaper and does not require installation of additional sensors nor controlling units, therefore the presented solution is easier to operate and more reliable with respect to other cleaning systems known in the prior art.
