Die Erfindung betrifft auĂźerdem eine Vorrichtung zum ZufĂĽhren wenigstens eines HĂĽllstreifens zu einem ZufĂĽhrelement, das den wenigstens einen HĂĽllstreifen zu einem Strang aus rauchbarem Material oder Filtermaterial der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie zufĂĽhrt, wobei die Vorrichtung ein den wenigstens einen HĂĽllstreifen zerteilendes Trennelement umfaĂźt.The invention also relates to a device for Feeding at least one envelope strip to a feed element, that to the at least one envelope a strand of smokable material or filter material to the tobacco processing industry, with the Device on the at least one envelope dividing separating element comprises.
Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zur Wiederinbetriebnahme einer Strangmaschine, wobei wenigstens ein Hüllstreifen zu wenigstens einem Strang aus rauchbarem Material oder Filtermaterial der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie zugeführt wird, wobei mittels eines Strangförderers der Strang herangefördert und auf wenigstens ein den wenigstens einen Hüllstreifen tragendes Förderelement zugeführt wird, wobei Strang und Hüllstreifen zu einem Format zum fortlaufenden Umhüllen des Stranges mit dem Hüllstreifen gefördert werden. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Entleeren einer Strangmaschine, insbesondere einer Zigarettenstrangmaschine oder einer Filterstrangmaschine, wobei ein in einer entsprechenden Vorrichtung oder Zuführvorrichtung sich befindender Hüllstreifen zum Umhüllen eines Strangs aus rauchbarem Material oder Filtermaterial der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie wenigstens teilweise entfernt wird.The invention further relates to a method for restarting a strand machine, at least an envelope strip to at least one strand of smokable Material or filter material of the tobacco processing Industry is supplied, whereby by means a strand conveyor the strand is brought up and up at least one carrying the at least one envelope strip Conveying element is supplied, strand and Envelope strips in a format for continuous wrapping of the strand are conveyed with the enveloping strip. The invention further relates to a method for emptying a rod machine, in particular a cigarette rod machine or a filter rod machine, being one in a corresponding device or Feeding device located envelope for Wrapping a strand of smokable material or Filter material from the tobacco processing industry at least is partially removed.
Aus der DE 36 00 321 C2, die der US 4,648,409 entspricht, ist eine Papierbahn-Zuführungsvorrichtung für eine Maschine zur Zigarettenherstellung bekannt. Hierbei ist eine Saugtrommel zum Fördern wenigstens einer Papierbahn zu einem Formatband vorgesehen. Mittels einer Betätigungsvorrichtung, auf der ein Messer vorgesehen ist, ist es möglich, die Papierbahn dann abzuschneiden, wenn nach einem Start der Zigarettenherstellmaschine der auf dem Zigarettenpapier aufgebrachte Aufdruck nicht mehr fehlerhaft ist. Bei dieser Vorrichtung wird also ein sogenannter Anfahrschuß bzw. der Ausschuß bei der Wiederinbetriebnahme beseitigt. Bei der Wiederinbetriebnahme bzw. beim Wiederanfahren der Maschine zur Zigarettenherstellung ist ein manueller Eingriff zum Einfädeln der Papierbahn nach einem Maschinenstillstand notwendig.From DE 36 00 321 C2, which corresponds to US 4,648,409, is a paper web feeder for a machine for cigarette production known. in this connection is a suction drum for conveying at least one Paper web provided to a format tape. By means of a Actuator on which a knife is provided it is possible to cut the paper web then if after starting the cigarette making machine the not printed on the cigarette paper is more faulty. So with this device a so-called starting shot or the committee at the Restarting removed. When restarting or when restarting the machine Cigarette production is a manual intervention for Threading the paper web after a machine standstill necessary.
Bei der Zigarettenstrangherstellung bzw. der Filterstrangherstellung kann es trotzdem zu dem Problem kommen, daß bei einem Beenden der Produktion von Zigarettensträngen bzw. Filtersträngen Umhüllungspapier in der Maschine verbleibt, so daß dieses im nachhinein vor Inbetriebnehmen oder Wiederinbetriebnehmen entfernt werden muß. Ferner ist es bei einem Abriß des Hüllstreifens und auch bei einer ersten Inbetriebnahme der Strangmaschine nötig, manuell den Hüllstreifen einem Zuführelement zuzuführen, so daß der Hüllstreifen zu einem Formatband und schließlich zu einem Format gefördert wird. Auch bei der genannten DE 36 00 321 C2 ist eine manuelle Zufuhr nach einer Produktionsunterbrechung notwendig.In cigarette rod production or filter rod production can still cause the problem that come when the cigarette rod production ends or filter strands wrapping paper in the machine remains so that this afterwards Commissioning or recommissioning removed must become. It is also when the envelope is torn and even when the Strand machine necessary, manually pull the envelope Feed the feed element so that the envelope strip too a format tape and finally promoted to a format becomes. Also in the aforementioned DE 36 00 321 C2 a manual feed after a production interruption necessary.
Dieses ist relativ zeitaufwendig und insbesondere bei Zweistrangmaschinen störend und führt auch zu fehlerhaften Zigarettensträngen bzw. Filtersträngen. Hierbei ist insbesondere an Betriebsunterbrechungen zu denken, nach denen regelmäßig die Hüllstreifen in entsprechende Elemente eingefädelt werden müssen. Ferner ist es nachteilig, daß bei einem nicht gewollten Riß im Hüllstreifen eine undefinierte Hüllstreifenlänge in der Maschine bei einem Stillstand dieser verbleiben kann.This is relatively time consuming and especially in the case of Two-strand machines disruptive and also leads to faulty Cigarette strands or filter strands. in this connection in particular, think of business interruptions, after which the envelopes regularly in appropriate Elements need to be threaded. Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that an unwanted tear in the envelope an undefined envelope length in the Machine can remain at a standstill.

Der Teil der Strangmaschine, der in Fig. 1 dargestellt
ist, umfaĂźt insbesondere eine ZufĂĽhrvorrichtung 1,
mittels der ein HĂĽllstreifen 10 in Form eines Zigarettenpapiers
von einem HĂĽllstreifenvorrat 17 in Form einer
Bobine zunächst einem Zuführelement 11 in Form einer
Umlenkrolle zufĂĽhrbar ist, wobei der HĂĽllstreifen 10 im
folgenden oberhalb eines Gegenlagers 31 in Verbindung
mit einem Tabakstrang 12 gebracht wird, der mittels
eines Strangförderbandes 18 in Fig. 1 von rechts nach
links (in Pfeilrichtung) gefördert wird. Für eine
effektive Mitnahme des HĂĽllstreifenanfangs hat die
Anmelderin Patente erlangt, nämlich bspw. die EP 0 595
118 B1, die der US 5,361,783 entspricht. Der Offenbarungsgehalt
dieser Patente soll vollumfänglich in die
Offenbarung dieser Patentanmeldung aufgenommen sein. Um
bei einem Anfahren bzw. der Inbetriebnahme der Maschine
sicherzustellen, daĂź der Anfang des HĂĽllstreifens 10
stromabwärts der Umlenkrolle 11 von dem zugehörigen
Formatband 19 und dem zugehörigen Strang 12 mitgenommen

Die erfindungsgemäße Zuführvorrichtung wird nun so
betrieben, daĂź ein HĂĽllstreifen 10 mittels eines
Trennelements 13, 32, 33 zerteilt wird und mittels eines
Fixiermittels 13, 14, 16, 24 bei einer Betriebsunterbrechung
bzw. bei einem Stopp der Strangmaschine fixiert
wird. Der nicht fixierte Teil des HĂĽllstreifens 10 wird
dann aus der Maschine entfernt, indem er mit dem Formatband
19 aus der Maschine herausgefahren wird. Bei
einer Wiederinbetriebnahme der Strangmaschine wird die
Fixierung gelöst und der Hüllstreifen automatisch
zunächst einem Zuführelement 11 zugeführt, um dann in
Kontakt mit einem Zigarettenstrang 12 oder einem Filterstrang
gebracht zu werden, woraufhin dann eine
ZufĂĽhrung zu einem Format 20 geschieht, in der um den
Zigarettenstrang bzw. den Filterstrang der HĂĽllstreifen
umwickelt wird.The feed device according to the invention is now so
operated that an
Das Abtrennen des HĂĽllstreifens kann sowohl mit kleinen
als auch mit groĂźen Schneidwinkeln erfolgen. Hierbei
kann eine Linearbewegung oder eine Schwenkbewegung des

FĂĽr den Fall eines eine Laservorrichtung mit einer
Fokussieroptik umfassenden Trennelements, wird der
fokussierte Laserstrahl geschwenkt oder ein Laserstrahl
erzeugt, der einen linear ausgedehnten Fokus umfaĂźt. Das
Fixieren des HĂĽllstreifens kann sowohl durch eine Art
Klemmen oder ein Vakuum bzw. eine Saugluft oder andere
Verfahren sowohl einzeln als auch in Kombination mit dem
Abtrennen erfolgen. Es ist ferner möglich, das erstmalige
Einfädeln des Hüllstreifens so zu gestalten, daß
der HĂĽllstreifen durch einen Luftstrom in die ZufĂĽhrvorrichtung
1 transportiert wird und dort in einer
Vorbereitungsposition abgetrennt und gehalten wird, so
