Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Überführen von Gruppen aus stabförmigen Artikeln der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere in Form von Zigarettenblöcken, aus einem ortsfesten Führungskanal auf ein Abfördermittel, wobei die Zigarettenblöcke durch mit an- und abschwellender Geschwindigkeit vorlaufende und in der Überführungszone während einer Verzögerungsphase aus dem Führungskanal nach unten austauchende Schubstößel zugeführt werden.The invention relates to a device for Transfer groups from rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, especially in the form of blocks of cigarettes, from a fixed guide channel on a conveyor, the cigarette blocks by advancing with increasing and decreasing speed and in the transfer zone during one Delay phase emerging from the guide channel downwards Push rams are fed.
Vorrichtungen der eingangs bezeichneten Gattung
sind als Teilaggregat einer Verpackungslinie zum
Verpacken von Tabakartikeln, wie Zigaretten, die in der
Regel als teilumhüllte (Folieninneneinschlag) oder in
Ausnahmefällen auch als unumhüllte Blockformation
zur Ausführung der erforderlichen Faltoperationen mittels
entsprechender Förderorgane transportiert bzw.
auf diese überführt werden.
Die dabei eingesetzten, eingangs genannten Förderorgane
garantieren eine effektive Arbeitsweise bzw. einen
kontinuierlichen Förderfluß innerhalb der Verpackungslinie.Devices of the type mentioned at the outset are part of a packaging line for packaging tobacco articles, such as cigarettes, which are generally transported or transferred to a part-wrapped (inner film wrap) or, in exceptional cases, also as an un-wrapped block formation for carrying out the necessary folding operations by means of appropriate conveying means.
The conveying elements mentioned at the beginning guarantee an effective working method or a continuous conveying flow within the packaging line.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, entlang der gesamten Förderstrecke und insbesondere an den kritischen Überführungsstellen jederzeit eine kontrollierte Handhabung und Positionierung der Artikelgruppen zu gewährleisten.The invention has for its object along the entire conveyor line and in particular the critical transfer points always have a controlled one Handling and positioning of the article groups to ensure.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst
durch in der Überführungszone während der Stößelverzögerung
wirksam werdenden und auf die Zigarettenblöcke
einwirkende Bremsmittel.
Auf einfache Weise wird eine sichere Bremswirkung
gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung dadurch
erreicht, daß die Bremsmittel die Reibung der Zigarettenblöcke
im Führungskanal an wenigstens einer Wandung
des Führungskanals erhöhend ausgebildet sind.
Besonders bei umhüllten mit einem Folieneinschlag
versehenen Zigarettengruppen besteht eine einfache
und effektive Ausgestaltung darin, daß die Bremsmittel
als in den Führungskanal einmündende Saugkanäle
ausgebildet sind. Nach einem weiteren Vorschlag münden
diese Saugkanäle vorzugsweise aus der unteren
Kanalwand in den Führungskanal ein. Bei dieser Anordnung
kann sogar auf besondere Steuermittel zum Aktivieren
und Deaktivieren der Saugluft verzichtet werden,
da sich die Saugluft und damit die Bremswirkung beim
Überfahren der Saugkanäle durch die Zigarettenblöcke
selbst steuert.This object is achieved according to the invention by brake means which become effective in the transfer zone during the tappet deceleration and act on the cigarette blocks.
In a simple manner, a reliable braking effect is achieved according to an advantageous embodiment in that the braking means are designed to increase the friction of the cigarette blocks in the guide channel on at least one wall of the guide channel.
Particularly in the case of enveloped cigarette groups provided with a foil wrap, a simple and effective embodiment consists in the braking means being designed as suction channels opening into the guide channel. According to a further proposal, these suction channels preferably open into the guide channel from the lower channel wall. In this arrangement, special control means for activating and deactivating the suction air can even be dispensed with, since the suction air and thus the braking effect are controlled by the cigarette blocks themselves when the suction channels are passed over.
Eine vorteilhatte Variante, die sich insbesondere
zur Abbremsung unumhüllter Artikelgruppen eignet,
besteht darin, daß die Bremsmittel als den Querschnitt
des Führungskanals verengendes Druckmittel ausgebildet
sind, welches gemäß einer Weiterbildung als
durch einen Druckstößel beaufschlagbarer federelastischer
Wandabschnitt der oberen Kanalwand des Führungskanals
ausgebildet ist. Ein derartiger Druckstößel
kann bei einer unumhüllten Artikelgruppe, die einer
Fehlgruppe entspricht, gezielt aktiviert werden, wenn
diese Fehlgruppe den genannten Wandabschnitt passiert.
Zusätzlich kann nach einem weiteren Vorschlag der
federelastische Wandabschnitt in den Führungskanal
einmündende Saugkanäle aufweisen.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Bremsmittel eignen sich
besonders für eine Anordnung, gemäß der das Abfördermittel
als relativ und fluchtend zum Führungskanal
hin- und herbewegbare Aufnahmetasche ausgebildet
ist, in welche in der Überführungsstellung aus den Wandungen
des Führungskanals vorspringende Führungszungen
hineinragen. Durch die erfindungsgemäßen
Bremsmittel ist gewährleistet, daß die in schneller Folge
herangeführten Artikelgruppen exakt in der Aufnahmetasche
positioniert werden. Zweckmäßigerweise treten
nach einem weiteren Vorschlag die Saugkanäle aus
den bodenseitigen Führungszungen aus. Darüber hinaus
erstrecken sich die bodenseitigen und seitlichen
Führungszungen in entsprechende Wandausnehmungen
der Aufnahmetasche hinein. Damit können Artikelgruppen
bereits in die Überführungsposition vorbewegt
werden, bevor die entgegenbewegte Aufnahmetasche
ihre Überführungsposition erreicht hat.An advantageous variant, which is particularly suitable for braking uncovered article groups, consists in that the braking means are designed as pressure medium constricting the cross section of the guide channel, which according to a further development is designed as a resilient wall section of the upper channel wall of the guide channel that can be acted upon by a pressure tappet. In the case of an uncovered article group which corresponds to a missing group, such a pressure tappet can be specifically activated when this missing group passes the wall section mentioned.
In addition, according to a further proposal, the resilient wall section can have suction channels opening into the guide channel.
The braking means according to the invention are particularly suitable for an arrangement according to which the discharge means is designed as a receiving pocket which can be moved back and forth relative to and in alignment with the guide channel and into which projecting guide tongues protrude from the walls of the guide channel in the transfer position. The braking means according to the invention ensure that the article groups which are brought up in rapid succession are positioned exactly in the receiving pocket. According to a further proposal, the suction channels expediently emerge from the bottom guide tongues. In addition, the bottom and side guide tongues extend into corresponding wall recesses in the receiving pocket. This enables article groups to be moved into the transfer position before the receiving pocket moving in the opposite direction has reached its transfer position.
Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht darin, daß die im Zuge der verzögerten Stößelbewegung abgebremsten Artikelgruppen jederzeit den Stößelkontakt aufrecht erhalten und auf diese Weise durch eine quasi gefesselte Überführung eine definierte Übergabepostion auf dem Abfördermittel einnehmen.The advantage achieved with the invention is in that in the course of the delayed plunger movement braked article groups at any time the tappet contact maintained and by doing so a quasi-tied overpass a defined handover position ingest on the conveyor.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.The invention is based on a embodiment shown in the drawing explained in more detail.

Die Wirkungsweise wird nachfolgend anhand
ausgewählter, zeitlich aufeinanderfolgender Überführungsstellungen
eines Schubstößels 2, der Aufnahmetasche
8 und eines umhüllten Zigarettenblocks 4 gemäß
den Figuren 5a bis 5d näher erläutert.
In der Überführungstellung gemäß Figur 5a, in welcher
der Schubstößel 2 in den stirnseitig offenen Folieneinschlag
3 eintaucht und den Zigarettenblock 4 stirnseitig
beaufschlagt, werden die Aufnahmetasche 8 und der
Schubstößel 2 mit dem Zigarettenblock 4 in Richtung
der Pfeile 7 bzw. 6 mit abnehmender Geschwindigkeit
des Schubstößels 2 aufeinanderzubewegt. Zu diesem
Zeitpunkt überfährt der Zigarettenblock 4 die Öffnungen
der permanent mit Saugluft beaufschlagten Saugkanäle
12, wodurch er abgebremst und durch permanenten
Kontakt mit dem verzögerten Schubstößel 2 unter
Kontrolle gehalten wird, so daß eine quasi gefesselte
Überführung in die beidseitig offene Aufnahmetasche 8
erfolgt.The mode of operation is explained in more detail below on the basis of selected, chronologically successive transfer positions of a
In the transfer position according to FIG. 5a, in which the
In der Überführungsstellung gemäß Figur 5b
hat die Aufnahmetasche 8 ihre Ruhestellung erreicht,
wobei der durch den nunmehr verstärkt verzögerten
Vorschub des Shubstößels 2 vorbewegte und durch
Überfahren der Saugkanäle 12 entsprechend abgebremste
Zigarettenblock 4 ganz in die Aufnahmetasche
8 eingestoßen wird.
In der Überführungsstellung gemäß Figur 5c hat sich
die Bewegungsrichtung 7 der Aufnahmetasche 8 umgekehrt,
wobei die nunmehr in gleicher Richtung
beschleunigte Aufnahmetasche 8 und der noch stärker
verzögerte Schubstößel 2 nahezu gleiche Geschwindigkeiten
aufweisen.
Durch die im Anschluß an die Überführungsstellung
gemäß Figur 5c mit gleichbleibender Geschwindigkeit
bewegte Aufnahmetasche 8 und gleichzeitig zunehmende
Verzögerung des Schubstößels 2 löst sich der
Schubstößel 2 von der Stirnfläche des Zigarettenblocks
4 und tritt schließlich aus dem stirnseitig offenen Folieneinschlag
3 heraus, so daß er gemäß Figur 5d der
Bewegung des Endlosfördermittels 11 in Pfeilrichtung 9
folgen und aus dem geradlinigen Förderweg 6 nach
unten wegtauchen kann.
Die sich in Pfeilrichtung 7 entfernende Aufnahmetasche
8 überführt den Zigarettenblock 4 zu nicht dargestellten
Förder- und Falteinrichtungen zwecks Komplettierung
der Zigarettenpackung.
Eine vergleichbare und deshalb nicht noch einmal wiederholte
Wirkungsweise ergibt sich bei der Überführung
von unumhüllten Zigarettenblöcken 19 gemäß Figur 2,
welche in diesem Fall statt durch relativ unwirksam
