Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing filter cigarettes from tobacco sticks which are severed in the middle during transport to form part sticks, the part sticks being moved apart, connected to a filter piece by means of covering paper and cigarette units thus formed being severed in the center in the area of the filter piece , Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for performing the method.
- Filter cigarettes are manufactured or completed in the area of a filter attachment machine. This has a number of drums with troughs arranged on the circumference. In the area of these bowl drums, the aforementioned process steps for the manufacture of the filter cigarettes are carried out.
- the invention has for its object to improve the manufacture of filter cigarettes in the area of the filter attachment machine by simpler construction of the same and by higher performance.
- the method according to the invention is characterized by the following features:
- the main drum is supplied with filter pieces through a filter drum arranged adjacent to the main drum and inserted into a gap formed between the partial sticks, d) the mutually assigned (two) partial sticks and the filter piece are each removed from the main drum, transported outside the area of the main drum, joined together and connected to one another by a covering paper,
- the filter cigarettes are then moved apart on the circumference of the main drum to form a distance between two filter cigarettes which are assigned to one another in the axial direction. These are then removed in pairs from the main drum and processed further.
- the device according to the invention for producing filter cigarettes has a number of segments or sliding segments in the area of the main drum, each with a number of troughs for tobacco sticks or filter cigarettes.
- the sliding segments are assigned to one another in pairs and can be moved in the axial direction in order to create different distances between the tobacco sticks or the finished filter cigarettes.
- a special feature is that during application of the tipping paper to the tobacco rods, and (j filter plugs out of the range of the main drum, the free sliding segments in; a position for further processing of the cigarette units moved: are, in particular 'sondere for subsequent moving apart by a separating cut resulting finished filter cigarettes.
- An important special feature consists in measures for simple adaptation of the device, namely in particular the main drum, to filter cigarettes of different dimensions to be produced, in particular with filters or filter pieces of different lengths.
- Fig. 1 shows a portion of the device with a main drum in a schematic
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through a detail in a sectional plane II-II of FIG.
- Fig. 3 shows a peripheral region of the main drum in a radial top view III-III
- Fig. 5 shows a representation analogous to Fig. 4 with offset organs, accordingly
- FIG. 6 shows a further illustration analogous to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, namely in the sectional plane VI-VI of FIG. 3,
- Fig. 7 is an illustration analogous to FIG. 3 for another circumferential area of
- the device shown schematically in Fig. 1 is part of a cigarette manufacturing machine.
- the central element is a main drum 10.
- secondary drums are assigned to this, which lead axially parallel to the circumference of the main drum 10. These are a feed drum 11, a filter drum 12, a return drum 13 and a discharge drum 14.
- the individual production phases are shown symbolically and assigned to the respective areas of the main drum 10 or other conveying elements.
- tobacco sticks 15 separated from a tobacco rod are transferred to the main drum 10 through the feed drum 11.
- the tobacco sticks 15 have already been severed in the middle in a previous work cycle to form two partial sticks 16, 17 of equal length. These are first transported in troughs 18 of the feed drum 11 and then from troughs of the main drum 10, namely segment troughs 19, 20 accepted.
- the partial sticks 16, 17 are moved apart in the axial direction, forming a gap between the two partial sticks 16, 17 (FIG. 5, FIG. 6).
- a (double-length) filter piece 21 is inserted into this gap. This is prepared separately and fed to the circumference of the main drum 10 by the filter drum 12, which is also equipped with troughs 18.
- a special feature of the device is that the filter pieces 21 only enter the segment troughs 19, 20 of the main drum 10 in the vicinity of the main drum 10 and the filter drum 12.
- the filter drum 12 removes from each other the associated partial sticks 16, 17 together with a filter piece 21 from the main drum 10, transports these parts until they are handed over to a conveyor, not shown in detail.
- the partial sticks 16, 17 are first brought into contact with the associated filter piece 21.
- the connection between these elements is established, specifically by means of a covering paper 22 which is to be connected to one another Parts is put around.
- Cigarette units 23 formed in this way are conveyed back to the main drum 10 by the return drum 13 and placed in the segment troughs 19, 20.
- a separating cut takes place in the center in the area of the filter pieces 21, specifically by means of a separating knife 24 assigned to the main drum 10.
- (finished) filter cigarettes 25 are formed with mutually facing filters 26.
- the filter cigarettes 25 are transported further - by increasing the distance from one another - through the main drum 10 to the removal drum 14, which takes over and transports the filter cigarettes 25 in pairs.
- the emptied segment troughs 19, 20 are now free to accommodate the tobacco sticks 15.
- the main drum 10 is designed in a special way, namely with supports for the troughs, which are arranged on the outer circumference and can be displaced axially parallel, namely sliding segments 27, 28, which are assigned to one another in pairs.
- the sliding segments are slidably mounted on support rods 29 and are controlled in particular by curves arranged within the main drum 10.
- segment ring 30 running around as an immovable member.
- the support rods 29 are connected to the segment ring 30.
- the sliding segments 27, 28 have a number of segment troughs 19, 20 arranged next to one another, which are arranged at a short distance from one another and are rectified.
- the segment troughs 19, 20 have bores 31 which are connected to a vacuum source, so that there is a vacuum in the troughs or segment troughs 19, 20 for fixing the tobacco sticks 15 or cigarette units 23 or filter cigarettes 25.
- the segment troughs 19, 20 are continued in annular recesses 32 in the segment ring 30. In the case of sliding segments 27, 28 resting against the segment ring 30, continuous recesses result (FIG. 3, below), for example for receiving tobacco sticks 15 or partial sticks 16, 17.
- the annular recesses 32 are provided with holes 33, which are connected to a vacuum source and - regardless of the holes 31 - can be supplied with suction air.
- the filter pieces 21 are placed in the region of the segment ring 30 on the circumference of the main drum 10 and fixed. Furthermore, the separating cut is carried out by the separating knife 24 in the region of the segment ring 30.
- the segment ring 30 has a central groove 34, into which the separating knife 24 enters when performing the separating cut.
- the sliding segments 27, 28 enable the (group) displacement of elements for the manufacture of the filter cigarettes 25, namely firstly moving the partial sticks 16, 17 (FIG. 3) apart and then moving the filter cigarettes apart (FIG. 7).
- the spacing of the sliding segments 27 28 from one another determines the gap between the partial sticks 16, 17 or filter cigarettes 25.
- a special feature is that during the transport of the partial sticks 16 and 17 with filter piece 21 and the cigarette units 23 formed outside the area of the main drum 10, namely above it, the sliding segments 27 moved apart again again at a smaller distance from one another or until they come to rest on Segment ring 30 are moved back, ie into the position shown in FIG. 7, above. In this position, the finished cigarette units 23 can be placed on the sliding segments 27, 28 again.
- a special feature is the adaptability of the device to different dimensions of the filter pieces 21 or filter 26 or the partial blocks 16, 17 without retrofitting the main drum or a gear.
- the procedure is such that the parts resting in the segment recesses 19, 20, in particular partial sticks 16, 17, are moved against stops which determine the relative position in accordance with the respective dimensions of the processed elements.
- the sliding segments 27, 28 are geared to a format-independent movement amplitude. This corresponds to a maximum dimension of filter cigarettes 25.
- the parts resting in the segment troughs 19, 20 are stopped at the correct position due to adjustable spacers regardless of the movement of the sliding segments 27, 28.
- the spacers are (cylindrical) spacer bolts 35, which enter the troughs from both sides, namely segment troughs 19, 20 of the sliding segments 27, 28.
- End faces of the partial sticks 16, 17 run against the ends of the spacer bolts 35 and are held in the desired relative position with continued movement of the sliding segments 27, 28 (FIG. 3, top). This position of the partial sticks 16, 17 results in a gap formed between them in accordance with the length of the filter piece 21.
- a format change is carried out without replacing the distance boizen 35 itself, but by changing the relative position of the same in the direction parallel to the axis.
- the spacer bolts 35 are connected to support rings 36 on both sides of the main drum 10. These in turn are slidably attached to outer fixed rings 37 as part of a support frame of the main drum 10.
- the support rings 36 can be adjusted.
- a spacer 38 between the support ring 36 and the fixed ring 37 there is an axial adjustment of the spacer bolts 35.
- Fig. 3, right shows a position with shorter partial blocks 16, 17 or shorter filter pieces 21, while Fig. 3, left, the longer version , namely larger gaps between the partial floors 16, 17.
- the spacer bolts 35 are disruptive in the area of the conveyance of filter cigarettes 25 in the segment recesses 19, 20, since the filter cigarettes 25 have to be placed at a relatively large distance from one another (FIG. 7, below).
- the segment troughs 19, 20 of the main drum 10 are arranged at a small, minimal distance from one another, which corresponds to half the distance between the troughs 18 on the feed drum 11, filter drum 12, return drum 13 and discharge drum 14.
- the relative position of the conveying elements is selected such that the tobacco sticks 15 or partial sticks 16, 17 are inserted into first segment troughs 19.
- the spacer bolts 35 which are arranged at a corresponding distance from one another, are assigned to these first segment troughs 19.
- the second segment troughs 20 remain free in this area of the main drum 10 (FIG. 3).
- the relative position of the troughs 18 on the return drum 13 ensures that the cigarette units 23 enter the (second) segment the 20 are inserted (Fig. 7). These are in the area between the spacer bolts 35.
- the spacer bolts 35 expediently have a special cross section, which results from FIG. 2.
- the spacer bolts 35 which are round in cross section, have a larger cross section than the diameter of the segment recess 19, 20 for better support of the partial sticks 16, 17.
- the lower cross-sectional area entering the troughs is provided with a semicircular recess 39, so that the spacer bolts 35 run within the troughs at a distance from the circular bottom of the troughs.
- FIGS. 8a to 13b A special alternative for the easier adaptability of the device to different cigarette formats is shown in FIGS. 8a to 13b. It is a matter of changing the relative position of the sliding segments 27, 28 in their starting position, with the proviso that, with the movement amplitudes remaining the same, different end positions of the sliding segments 27, 28 are given with adaptation to the respective cigarette format.
- the graphic representation is chosen such that FIGS. 8a, 9a .... each show a sliding segment 27, 28 for cigarettes of different lengths in different positions, while FIGS. 8b, 9b .... show the Show the selected position of the sliding segments 27, 28 corresponding position on the main drum 10, that is, the respective associated phase of production schematically.
- the strong line means the conveying path of the elements of the filter cigarettes 25 or the cigarettes themselves.
- FIGS. 8a to 10a show phases in the area between the feed drum 11 and the filter drum 12, while FIGS. 11a to 13a relate to those after the return drum 13 show the following production section up to the provision of the sliding segments 27,
- the sliding segments 27, 28 can be controlled with respect to the movement by a control cam or control groove 40.
- a control element connected to the sliding segment 27, 28 enters the control groove 40 shown in the drawing as a continuous path a, namely a roller 41.
- This is connected to the sliding segment 27, 28 via a pulling and pushing element, namely via a rod 42.
- the sliding segment 27, 28 is adjustable relative to the rod 42, specifically to create a different starting position.
- a head 43 connected to the rod 42, can be adjusted in a recess 44 of the sliding segment 27, 28, schematically shown, against the load of a spring, namely compression spring 45.
- the respective upper picture in Fig. 8a, Fig. 9a .... shows an alternative for the processing of shorter filter pieces 21, that is, an alternative in which a smaller gap is created between the partial blocks 16, 17.
- This is achieved in that in the starting position (FIG. 8a, top) the sliding segments 27, 28 are already displaced in the direction of the end position.
- This is achieved by a spacer 46 inserted between the sliding segment 27, 28 on the one hand and the segment ring 30 on the other.
- This causes the sliding segment 27, 28 to be at a distance from the segment ring 30 in the starting position, that is to say already a first movement section in the direction of the lateral end position has accomplished.
- the sliding segments 27, 28 are also displaced relative to the uniformly long rod 42, namely by compressing the compression spring 45.
- the tobacco sticks 15 or partial sticks 16, 17 are always inserted in the same position, regardless of the length of the filter piece 21, namely, centered on the segment ring 30.
- the movement process for the lower example of the drawing ie without a spacer 46, begins immediately because the movement of the rod 42 is transmitted directly to the sliding segment 27, 28.
- the spacer 46 is used, the free space inside the recess 44 is first overcome when the rod 42 moves, until the head 43 rests against the end wall of the recess 44 (FIG. 9a, top).
- the axially parallel displacement of the sliding segment 27, 28 begins, specifically into the end position according to FIG. 10a. This corresponds to the position of the partial sticks 16, 17 for inserting the filter piece 21. How recognizable, a smaller distance is created in the upper image than in the lower version without spacer 46.
- FIGS. 11a, 12a and 13a show the embodiment with spacer 46, that is to say with a shorter filter piece 21 or a shorter filter 26.
- FIG. 11a namely in the area of the receptacle for the otherwise completed cigarette units 23, the sliding segments 27, 28 are in the same position, specifically because of the corresponding design of the control groove 40.
- FIG. 11a also defines a "neutral" position of the organs. In this, the spring, namely compression spring 45, is always relaxed, that is, not compressed. This results from the dimensions of the organs in connection with a corresponding design of the control groove 40.
- the filter cigarettes 25 formed are moved apart to the end position according to FIG. 12a.
- the filter cigarettes 25 are - regardless of the length of the filter 26 - the same distance from each other.
- the sliding segments 27, 28 are moved back into the starting position for taking over tobacco sticks 15 or partial sticks 16, 17, corresponding to FIG. 13a.
- the sliding segments 27, 28 provided with the spacer 46 are only moved by the rod 42 until the spacer 46 bears against the segment ring 30. The further displacement of the rod 42 is absorbed by the compression spring 45 (Fig. 13a, top).
- the main drum 10 or the sliding segments 27, 28 are formed with the same trough division as the associated drums, i.e. like the feed drum 11, the filter drum 12, etc.
- the sliding segments 27 , 28 only have segment troughs 19 at a distance from the troughs 18 (FIG. 16, FIG. 17).
