Numeral 8 integral body among Fig. 4 point out to be used for the packaging system of the cigarette packages 1 of shop print 1-3.System 8 comprises: wrapping machine 9a, and it is used for Production and Packaging part 2a; Wrapping machine 9b, it is used for Production and Packaging part 2b; Combination packaging machine 10, it receives package 2 and forms cigarette pack 1 from wrapping machine 9; And conveyer 11, its package 2 that is used for coming from wrapping machine 9 supplies to wrapping machine 10.Should be pointed out that because package 2a and 2b differs from one another and therefore can't produce on same wrapping machine 9, so use two different wrapping machine 9.
As shown in Figure 5, wrapping machine 10 comprises: group forms unit 12, and it is used to form the group 13 (Fig. 6) of two overlay packaging spares 2 (a package 2a and a package 2b); And packaging unit 14, it is used for around each group 13 folding also bonding transoms 4 in order to form cigarette pack 1.
Shown in Fig. 6 and 7, group forms unit 12 and comprises: it is stacked with formation group 13 that group formation 15, two package 2a in station and 2b form 15 places, station in group; Conveyer 16, it is used for supplying with package 2a along the straight path 17 that ends at group formation station 15; And conveyer 18, it is used for supplying with package 2b along the straight path 19 that ends at group formation station 15.
Conveyer 18 is positioned at conveyer 16 tops, make path 17 and 19 in the vertical direction coplanes, and path 17 crosses with path 19 (being that conveyer 16 crosses with conveyer 18), makes the package 2b that comes from conveyer 18 be placed on the corresponding package 2a top that comes from conveyer 16.Path 17 and 19 (being conveyer 16 and 18) preferably forms 15 °-30 ° angle.
In a preferred embodiment, conveyer 16 and 18 has recess 20 and 21 separately, is used for supplying with package 2 along conveyer 16 and 18 with the predetermined timing of appointment.Recess 20 and 21 guarantees that each package 2a correctly places with respect to corresponding package 2b, and therefore makes each package 2a stacked admirably with corresponding package 2b.Each conveyer 16,18 preferably includes endless belt conveyer 22,23, and endless belt conveyer 22,23 has laterally projecting 24,25 of a plurality of qualification recesses 20,21.And two conveyers 16 and 18 are preferably with the constant speed operation, promptly continuously rather than off and on or the operation of stepping ground.
Group formation station 15 comprises bearing surface 26, and group 13 is slowed down on bearing surface 26, and organizes 13 by being slided along bearing surface 26 by the groups subsequently 13 of conveyer 16 and 18 promotions.
Group forms unit 12 and also comprises delivery wheel 27, and delivery wheel is positioned at the downstream at group formation station 15 and rotates in the mode of stepping around center of turn axis 28, and delivery wheel 27 comprises a plurality of circumferential notches 29, and each recess is used to hold corresponding group 13.More specifically, each recess 29 of delivery wheel 27 forms station 15 places reception group 13 in group, and is forming station 15 along the relative output station 30 places release group 13 of diameter with group.
In a preferred embodiment, delivery wheel 27 comprises reverse push rod 31, follows group 13 to be inserted in the recess 29 at 15 places, group formation station thereby reverse push rod 31 can radially move; And push rod 32, thereby can radially moving, it follow group 13 to discharge from recess 29 at output station 30 places.Oppositely push rod 31 and push rod 32 have opposite motion, and all operate by setting placed in the middle and by the same actuating device 33 that tooth bar coupling connection part is mechanically connected to reverse push rod 31 and push rod 32.
Delivery wheel 27 has outside face 34 (more specifically, cylindrical sides), and recess 29 forms on outside face 34.In a preferred embodiment, between per two adjacent recesses 29, the curvature of the outside face 34 of delivery wheel 27 increases on the rotation direction 35 of delivery wheel 27.In other words, each recess 29 is limited by two 36,37 on walls vertical with the rotation direction 35 of delivery wheel 27; And the wall 36 that is positioned at rotation direction 35 upstreams of delivery wheel 27 is longer than the wall 37 in rotation direction 35 downstreams that are positioned at delivery wheel 27 diametrically.Between per two adjacent recesses 29, the wall 36 of the curvature of the outside face 34 of delivery wheel 27 from the wall 37 of a recess 29 to adjacent downstream recess 29 increases equably.
Because the above-mentioned design of the outside face 34 of delivery wheel 27, even when delivery wheel 27 rotates around pivot center 28, group 13 can move towards the center of delivery wheel 27 continuously.Promptly, when delivery wheel 27 commentaries on classics move a step, i.e. distance between recess 29 and the next recess 29, by equaling the groups 13 that will insert in next recess 29 to be moved towards the center of delivery wheel 27 in the downstream wall 37 of the rotation direction 35 of delivery wheel 27 and the distance of the difference of the radical length of upstream wall 36.So when delivery wheel 27 stops and recess 29 during in the face of group 13, group 13 only need readvance less than the distance of the maximum radial length of recess 29, so that be inserted in the recess 29.
