Definitions

  • the device in question comprises: an inching rotating head, provided with (a) a pair of four radial surfaces, two by two, parallel and spaced proportionately to the thickness of the layers that form a packet of cigarettes and (b) a pair of grippers, each of which provided with fork shaped jaws which encompass the said radial surfaces; means for cyclically parting the jaws; a movable vertical wall which extends parallel to the cigarettes so as to retain them whilst they are being inserted in between the said four radial surfaces and when the jaws of the grippers are open.
  • the batches of cigarettes are collected and transferred in succession to the processing units further along the line by a pusher, at the side of which there are two parallel vertical walls which move with it in order to keep the cigarettes properly positioned whilst they are being transferred.
  • these high speed machines employ a device with which to transfer the batches of cigarettes from a batch formation line to a packing line where the packeting is done and this essentially consists in a rotatable wheel with radial grippers, each of which is formed by a fixed arm and a movable arm which is also provided with surfaces for transversely grasping the individual cigarettes in the layer of cigarettes located by the side of the movable arm, the closing and opening movements of which to grasp and release, respectively, the batch of cigarettes are synchronized with the rotation of the gripper wheel and with the units for the delivery and the collection, respectively, of the said batches to and from the said gripper wheel (see, for example, US. Pat. No. 3,501,023 by the same Applicants).
  • the said rotatable wheel device with radial grippers for the transfer of the batches of cigarettes from the batch formation line to the packing line where the batches are packeted has shown itself to be inadequate because of its configuration and structure, thereby causing frequent breaks in the succession of the batches being infed to the packing line, the consequential result of which is stoppages on the part of the wrapping/packeting machine and thus a lower global output than there should really be.
  • the main object of the present invention is to enable high speed wrapping/packeting machines of the type in question, to operate at their maximum potential and to guarantee that they are continuously supplied with an unbroken succession of batches of cigarettes to be packeted.
  • a further consequential object of the invention is, therefore, to provide a device of the type mentioned above for transferring the cigarettes, the configuration and structure of which are such that it is able to definitely operate at the same speed as the wrapping/packeting machine itself.
  • Essential features of a transfer device of this nature are, in fact, an inching rotating head, provided with (a) a pair of four radial surfaces, two by two, parallel and spaced proportionately to the thickness of the layers that form a packet of cigarettes and (b) a pair of grippers, each of which provided with fork shaped jaws that extend in a radial direction and encompass the said radial surfaces, the termination of each jaw being curved in a direction perpendicular to the axis along which the grippers themselves extend; means for cyclically parting the said jaws so as to change from a first position in which both are open in order to accept or transfer a batch of cigarettes, to a second closed position whilst the rotating head is turning; a movable vertical wall which extends parallel to the cigarettes so as to retain them whilst they are being inserted in between the said four radial surfaces and when the jaws of the grippers corresponding to the said four surfaces are open; and a pusher for collecting a batch of cigarettes when the grippers are open
  • FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of the device forming the subject of the invention, mounted on a cigarette packeting machine;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view, in diagrammatic form, of all the mechanism which operates the moving parts in the device;
  • FIG. 3 is a front view, on a reduced scale compared to FIG. 1, of the device and part of the drive mechanrsm.
  • the shaft of an electric motor 1 has rigidly mounted on it a grooved wheel 2 which is mechanically linked, by means of the belts 3, to a sheave 4 keyed on to a shaft 5 supported by a fixed frame 21 (see FIGS. 2 and 3), inside which the complete motor unit described below, is housed.
  • a gearwheel 6 which meshes with an intermediate gearwheel 7 keyed to a shaft supported by the fixed frame 21.
  • the said intermediate gearwheel 7 meshes with a gearwheel 56 rigidly mounted on a shaft 9 supported by the said fixed frame.
  • the shaft 9 also carries a gearwheel 8 which meshes, in turn, with an intermediate gearwheel l0 and this transmits the movement to a gearwheel l1 keyed on to a shaft 12, one end of which has mounted on it a plate 13 carrying two needle bearings 14 which cyclically penetrate in the grooves in a Geneva wheel 15 rigidly mounted on a shaft 16.
  • the shaft 16 which thus rotates intermittently, has keyed on to it a gearwheel 17 which meshes with a 3 gearwheel 18 rigidly mounted on a hollow shaft 19 which protrudes from the fixed frame and with which a rotatable head, referred to in its entirety as 20, is integral.
  • the rotation of head 20, being thus derived from Geneva wheel 15, accordingly is intermittent (01' inching, as it is sometimes called herein).
  • the said rotatable head 20 see FIGS. 1 and 3, is provided with a hub 20a, fixed to the hollow shaft 19 and rotatable with it, as well as to diametrically opposed grippers 22.
  • Each gripper 22 is made up of an upper jaw 23 and a lower jaw 24, each of which fork shaped and, in actual practice, each gripper can be considered as being constituted by the union of two identical grippers, parallel and side by side.
  • Both the termination 23a of each fork shaped upper jaw and the termination 24a of each fork shaped lower jaw are curved in a direction perpendicular to the axis along which the grippers extend.
  • Each upper jaw 23 is integral with a sleeve 26 rigidly mounted on a corresponding spindle 27 with its axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotatable head and perpendicular to the direction along which the grippers themselves extend.
  • the said spindles 27 are rotatably supported by the hub 20a of the rotatable head 20.
  • each lower jaw 24 is integral with a corresponding sleeve (not shown in the figures) keyed on to a corresponding spindle 28 rotatably supported by the hub of the rotatable head and parallel to the spindles 27.
  • One extremity of a shaped lever 29 is pivoted to each spindle 27 whilst its other extremity is fastened to a lever 30 pivoted to the spindle 28 placed on the same vertical axis.
  • Each of the said levers 29 is connected to the corresponding lever 30 through an articulated joint 31 of the type known as a toggle joint and this is kept constantly pressed up against a cam 32 keyed on to a shaft 33, the profile of which is symmetrical with respect to a vertical axis.
  • the pressure of the two articulations 31 on the cam 32 is applied by two upper springs 34 and two lower springs 35 (FIGS. 1, 3).
  • the shaft 33 passes inside the hollow shaft 19 so that head 20, on shaft 19, is coaxial (and as shown, concentric) with cam 32 on shaft 33.
  • An outer, foreward end of shaft 33 is secured to a radial arm 34, to the end of which is pivoted a rotatable needle roller bearing 35 and this engages in an eccentric groove machined in the face of a disc cam 37 mounted on the shaft 9 from which it takes its movement (FIG. 2).
  • the above described mechanism 34, 19 causes the cam 32 to undergo an oscillating rotatory movement coaxially with the head 20 and, consequently, to cyclically move each of the two articulations 31, thereby causing the grippers 22 to open cyclically and more about this will be said later on in this text.
  • Each of the arms 38 extends from the hub 20a of the rotatable head.
  • Each of the arms 38 is integral with a pair of strips 39a and 39b which serve as the support surface for the cigarettes and which extend along a plane perpendicular to that along which the jaws of the grippers open and close.
  • the said strips 39a and 39b are placed parallel, two by two, between the jaws of the grippers and their 4 spacing is proportionate to the thickness formed by the layers of cigarettes that go to make up the packet.
  • the cigarettes 50 in batches ready to be packeted, carried in the compartments of a conveyor 51 shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2 and forming the subject of another Patent Application, are pushed between the four strips or surfaces 39a and 39b which are located on the right hand side of the rotatable head shown in FIG. 1, by a pusher 52 shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2, the moving parts of which are not illustrated since they are not part and parcel of the present Patent.
  • Two vertical U shaped walls 40 and 40a are placed in two vertical and parallel planes.
  • Each wall is integral with a sleeve 41 and 41a rigidly mounted on a rack 42 and 42a which meshes with a gearwheel 43 and 43a.
  • Both gearwheels 43 and 43a are keyed on to a shaft 44 which accordingly causes oscillating movements of walls 40, 40a.
  • the shaft 44 also carries a gearwheel 45 which meshes with a toothed quadrant 46 supported by a lever arm 47 pivoted on to a shaft 48 carried by the frame of the machine.
  • the other arm of the lever 47 carries a needle roller bearing, invisible in FIG. 2 but similar to other roller bearings mentioned hereafter.
  • the bearing or cam follower of lever 47 engages inside an eccentric groove machined in a face of a disc cam 54 keyed on to a powered shaft 55.
  • the shaft 55 takes its movement from the shaft 9 via the gearwheels 56, 57, 58 and 59.
  • a pusher located between the left hand grippers 23 and walls 40, 40a and integral with a rack 81 which meshes with a gearwheel 82 keyed on to a shaft 83.
  • the shaft 83 has a gearwheel 60 rigidly mounted on it and this meshes with a toothed quadrant 61 carried by a lever arm 62 pivoted on to the shaft 48.
  • the other arm of the lever 62 carries a needle roller bearing 49 which engages inside a groove 53, the eccentricity of which is the same as that of the groove machined into the other face of the disc cam 54.
  • the walls 40 and 40a and the pusher 80 are all provided with an identical horizontal cyclic traversing movement.
  • the shaft 55 also carries a cam 64 provided with an eccentric groove 65 inside which a needle roller bearing 66, carried by a spindle 67 integral with a lever 68 pivoted at 69, engages.
  • the end of the lever arm 68 is pivotally secured to a link rod 70 connected to a rod 71 which carries a plate 72, the surface of which is perpendicular to the horizontal axis of the grippers.
  • the arm 71 is sustained by the frame of the machine in such a way that it is able to traverse horizontally with respect to the frame itself.
  • a gearwheel 74 is fixedly mounted on the axis of the said bar 73 and this meshes with a toothed quadrant 75 keyed on to a shaft 76.
  • the said shaft 76 also carries an arm 78 on which there is a needle roller bearing 79 that engages in an eccentric groove in a cam rigidly mounted on the shaft 9.
  • the bar 73 is given a cyclic oscillating movement around its own axis coordinated with the movement of walls 40, 40a and 80. Its task is to continuously provide the surface for transferring the batch of cigarettes from the rotatable head to the packeting mechanism 88 shown diagrammatically in-FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the batch of cigarettes 50 is inserted transversely in the rotatable head by the first pusher 52 when one gripper is in the horizontal position at the right side of the cam, opposite this pusher, as perspectively shown in FIG. 2, and when the gripper jaws are forked.
  • the batch is arranged in such a way that the cigarettes with which it is composed are inserted exactly in between the two upper surfaces 390 and the two lower surfaces 3%.
  • the vertical plate 72 is provided as an additional pusher. This plate extends parallel to the cigarettes and is positioned, during the said insertion stage, at a point corresponding to the outside extremity of the jaws of the right hand gripper, so as to serve as a containment wall.
  • the opening and closing of the jaws is determined by the reciprocating rotation of the cam 32.
  • the batch, freed in the said position from the action of the jaws 23 and 24 is held by the strips or surfaces 39a and 3%.
  • the second pusher 80 comes into operation and pushes the batch of cigarettes, which are also laterally held by the two surfaces 40 and 40a, along to device 88 where the actual packeting operation is performed. During this stage, the batch of cigarettes traverses horizontally along the aforementioned support surface formed by the bar 73.
