Abstract

A twin-track assembly manufactures cigarettes in a process where rods of loose cigarette tobacco are rolled in cigarette paper to double length (10). Cigarettes advance first in a single line a point (25) where they then are moved alternately left and right into two lines. Each double length cigarette is cut at the mid-point and the resulting two cigarettes are separated for insertion of a single double-length filter between the two. The butt join between the filter and cigarette ends is closed by a wrapper (66,1, 66.2) and the filter is cut at the center point. The resulting two cigarettes are separated for packing.

Das Herstellen von Filterzigaretten aus Zigarettenstäben, die im Doppelstrangverfahren hergestellt werden, ist bekannt. Gattungsgemäße Verfahren und Vorrichtungen sind aus den Patentschriften DE-C-38 05 753, DE-C-37 06 753 und DE-C-37 06 751 beschrieben.The manufacture of filter cigarettes from cigarette rods, the Double-stranded processes are known. generic Methods and devices are known from the patents DE-C-38 05 753, DE-C-37 06 753 and DE-C-37 06 751 described.

Hierbei zeigt DE-C-38 05 753 ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Filterzigaretten aus im Doppelstrangverfahren gefertigten Zigarettenstäben, bei dem doppeltlange Zigarettenstäbe doppelbahnig geführt werden.Here, DE-C-38 05 753 shows a process for the preparation of Filter cigarettes made of double-stranded cigarette rods, in the double-length cigarette rods guided double lane become.

DE-C-37 06 751 offenbart eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Filterzigaretten, die zu einer gleichzeitigen, doppelbahnigen Verarbeitung jeweils zweier doppeltlanger Zigarettenstäbe zwei Belagpapierzuführungen für zwei Belagpapierstreifen vorsieht.DE-C-37 06 751 discloses an apparatus for producing filter cigarettes, which leads to a simultaneous, double-lane processing each two double-length cigarette rods two tipping paper feeders for two tipping paper strips.

DE-C-37 06 753 zeigt ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Überführen von stabförmigen Artikeln der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie aus einer vierreihigen in eine zweireihige Formation, wobei die Artikelreihen in queraxialer Richtung gebildet werden.DE-C-37 06 753 shows a method and an apparatus for Transfer of rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry from a four-row to a double-row formation, where the article series are formed in the transverse axial direction.

Des weiteren sind in den europäischen Patentanmeldungen EP-A-895 724 und EP-A-895 725 jeweils Verfahren zum Herstellen von Filterzigaretten in einer Filteransetzmaschine beschrieben, bei denen doppeltlange Zigarettenstäbe doppelbahnig gefertigt werden. Nach einem Schnitt der doppeltlangen Tabakstöcke werden die Tabakstöcke einfacher Länge in versetzter Anordnung weitergeführt.Further, in European Patent Applications EP-A-895 724 and EP-A-895 725 each discloses methods of making Filtered cigarettes in a filter attachment machine described in which double-length cigarette rods are manufactured double-lane. After a cut of the double-length tobacco sticks become the tobacco sticks simple length continued in a staggered arrangement.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine doppelbahnige Filteransetzmaschine derart weiterzubilden, dass die Produktionsgeschwindigkeit und die Produktivität erhöht wird, wobei der Aufwand möglichst gering gehalten werden soll.Based on this prior art, it is the task of the present Invention, a double-lane Filteransetzmaschine such to develop that production speed and the Productivity is increased, with the least possible effort should be kept.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Filterzigaretten, wobei Zigarettenstäbe doppelter Länge in Zigarettenstäbe einfacher Länge zerschnitten werden, zwischen diese ein Filterstopfen doppelter Länge eingebracht wird, dieser doppeltlange Filterstopfen mit den beiden Zigarettenstäben einfacher Länge durch Umhüllen mittels eines Belagpapierblättchens verbunden wird und durch einen darauf folgenden Trennschnitt durch den doppeltlangen Filterstopfen Zigaretten normaler Gebrauchslänge entstehen, wobei die Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen doppelbahnig einer Belageinrichtung zugeführt werden, das dadurch weitergebildet wird, dass die Zigarettenstäbe kammartig zueinander gespreizt und/oder auseinander gezogen werden. Hierdurch werden die, insbesondere mit einer reduzierten Teilung hintereinander einreihig angeordneten, Filterstäbe versetzt und alternierend zueinander zweireihig in den Nuten einer Fördertrommel angeordnet.This object is achieved by a method for the production of Filtered cigarettes, whereby cigarette rods of double length in cigarette rods simple length to be cut between these Double-length filter plug is inserted, this double-length Filter plug with the two cigarette rods of simple length is wrapped by wrapping by means of a tipping paper leaflet and by a subsequent separation cut through the double-long Filter plug cigarettes normal use length arise, the cigarette rod filter plug cigarette rod groups doppelbahnig a pad means are fed, thereby is further developed that the cigarette rods comb-like each other spread and / or pulled apart. This will be the, in particular with a reduced pitch in a row einreihig arranged, filter rods offset and alternately to each other arranged in two rows in the grooves of a conveyor drum.

Bei der Spreizung und Ausbildung von zwei Reihen als zwei Materialströme überlappen sich die Zigarettenstäbe der beiden Reihen in einem Überlappungsbereich, so dass die Zigarettenstäbe nicht vollständig auseinander gezogen sind. Durch diesen Kammspreizvorgang wird der Teilungsabstand zwischen den Zigarettenstäben jeder Reihe insbesondere in dem Bereich, in dem die doppeltlangen Zigarettenstäbe geschnitten und auseinander gezogen werden, damit ein Filterstopfen eingelegt werden kann, verdoppelt. Dadurch wird ein sicheres Anheften des Belagpapierblättchens an die gebildeten Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen ermöglicht. Somit werden Trommeln mit verringertem Teilungsabstand an einer Filteransetzmaschine eingesetzt, so dass insgesamt die Produktivität der Maschine gesteigert wird. Ferner ist durch das kammartige Auseinanderziehen der, insbesondere doppeltlangen, Zigarettenstäbe, mit der Ausbildung eines Überlappungsbereiches das seitliche Bewegen und Spreizen der Zigarettenstäbe optimiert bzw. begrenzt, ohne dass die Qualität der Filterzigaretten bei der Herstellung eingeschränkt wird. Dies hat außerdem den Vorteil, dass die Fördertrommein mit einer geringeren Breite als das zweifache der doppeltlangen Zigarettenstäbe hergestellt sein können. Dies führt zu Materialeinsparungen und einer Reduzierung der Abmaßungen einer Filteransetzmaschine.When spreading and forming two rows as two streams of material The cigarette rods of the two rows overlap an overlap area, so that the cigarette rods are not complete pulled apart. Through this comb spreading process The dividing distance between the cigarette rods becomes each Row especially in the area where the double-length cigarette rods be cut and pulled apart so that a filter plug can be inserted, doubled. This will a secure attachment of the tipping paper leaflet to the formed Cigarette Rod Filter Plug Cigarette Rod Groups Enabled. Consequently Drums with reduced pitch are used at one Filter attachment machine used, so that overall productivity the machine is increased. Further, by the comb-like Pulling apart, especially double-length, cigarette rods, with the formation of an overlap area the lateral Moving and spreading the cigarette rods optimized or limited, without the quality of filter cigarettes in the production is restricted. This also has the advantage that the Feed trough with a smaller width than twice the double-length cigarette rods can be made. this leads to to material savings and a reduction of the dimensions a filter attachment machine.

Insbesondere wird vor Anheften der Belagpapierblättchen der Teilungsabstand zwischen den Zigarettenstäben verringert. Durch die doppelbahnige Förderung der doppeltlangen Zigarettenstäbe mit verringertem Teilungsabstand werden mehr Zigarettenstäbe auf einer Fördertrommel angeordnet, so dass bei einer konstanten Maschinengeschwindigkeit die Produktionsgeschwindigkeit der Filteransetzmaschine gesteigert wird. Hierbei werden die Zigarettenstäbe von einer Fördertrommel mit einem größeren Abstand an wenigstens eine Fördertrommel mit einem geringeren Teilungsabstand übergeben. Unter dem Begriff "Teilungsabstand" wird der Abstand der in Förderrichtung hintereinander in einer Reihe angeordneten Zigarettenstäbe verstanden. Insbesondere ist der Teilungsabstand größer als die Länge der anzuheftenden Belagpapierblättchen. In particular, prior to adhering the tipping paper leaflets, the pitch becomes decreased between the cigarette rods. By the double-lane promotion of double-length cigarette rods with Reduced pitch spacing will make more cigarette rods on one Conveyor drum arranged so that at a constant machine speed the production speed of the filter attachment machine is increased. Here are the cigarette rods from a conveyor drum with a greater distance at least a conveyor drum with a smaller pitch to hand over. The term "pitch" is the distance arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction in a row Understood cigarette rods. In particular, the pitch is greater than the length of the tipping paper leaflets to be adhered.

Bevorzugterweise werden für die Durchführung des Verfahrens an einer doppelbahnigen Filteransetzmaschine die doppeltlangen Zigarettenstäbe in zwei Reihen angeordnet, um sie zu den Belageinrichtungen zu transportieren.Preferably, for the implementation of the method a double-lane filter attachment the double-length cigarette rods arranged in two rows to guide them to the decking to transport.

Vorteilhafterweise werden die Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen jeder Reihe während des Anheftens des Belagpapierblättchens mit dem doppelten, verringerten Teilungsabstand gefördert. Durch das Auffächern eines einreihigen Materialstroms an doppeltlangen Filterstäben und der Bildung zweier kammartig verzahnter Reihen an Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen wird zwischen den Artikeln jeder Reihe in queraxialer Richtung zu den Artikeln ein ausreichender Abstand geschaffen, so dass an die Artikelgruppen ein entsprechend langes Belagpapierblättchen angeheftete wird, ohne dass das Belagpapierblättchen die nachfolgende Artikelgruppe berührt. Dies wird bevorzugterweise bei einem verringerten Teilungsabstand durchgeführt, der bei einem einreihigen Materialstrom an Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen d.h. bei einer einbahnigen Filteransetzmaschine einzuhalten ist.Advantageously, the cigarette rod filter plug cigarette rod groups each row during the tufting of tipping paper leaflet with twice the reduced pitch promoted. By fanning a single-row material flow on double-length filter rods and the formation of two comb-like toothed rows of cigarette rod filter plug cigarette rod groups becomes between the articles of each row in cross-axial Direction to the articles created a sufficient distance, so that the article groups a correspondingly long tipping paper leaflet is attached without the tipping paper leaflet touching the following article group. This is preferably included a reduced pitch separation performed at a Single Tier Material Stream to Cigarette Rod Filter Plug Cigarette Rod Groups i.e. in a single-lane filter attachment machine is to be adhered to.

Eine weitere Verbesserung wird dadurch erreicht, dass nach Anheften des Belagpapierblättchens die Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen jeder Reihe separat gerollt werden, so dass die Belagpapierblättchen einer Reihe nicht mit dem Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen der anderen Reihe in Kontakt geraten.A further improvement is achieved by sticking of tipping paper leaflet the cigarette rod filter plug cigarette rod groups each row will be rolled separately, so that the tiling paper sheets of a row not with the cigarette rod filter plug cigarette rod groups the other row in contact devices.

In einer Weiterbildung werden die Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen jeder Reihe zu Filterzigaretten normaler Gebrauchslänge von jeweils einer Schneideinrichtung separat geschnitten. Durch das getrennte Schneiden der kammartig versetzten Reihen mittels einer eigenen Schneideinrichtung werden höhere Standzeiten an einer Maschine erreicht. Dies führt zu einer sicheren Funktionsweise und längeren Wartungsabständen an der Maschine.In a further development, the cigarette rod filter plug cigarette rod groups every row to filter cigarettes more normal Use length of each cutter separately cut. By the separate cutting of the comb-like offset Rows by means of a separate cutting device are higher Lifetime achieved on a machine. This leads to a safe Functioning and longer maintenance intervals on the machine.

Ferner ist es bevorzugt, wenn die geschnittenen Filterzigaretten normaler Gebrauchslänge zu zwei parallelen Reihen angeordnet werden.Furthermore, it is preferred if the cut filter cigarettes normal use length arranged to two parallel rows become.

Insbesondere werden die Filterzigaretten der parallelen Reihen mit einem verringerten Teilungsabstand gefördert.In particular, the filter cigarettes of the parallel rows with promoted a reduced pitch.

Darüber hinaus wird in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass die Belagpapierblättchen. für jede Reihe versetzt zueinander geschnitten werden, da auch die geförderten Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen in zwei Reihen und versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind.In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the invention suggested that the tipping paper leaflets. for each row staggered to each other, as well as the subsidized Cigarette butt filter plug cigarette rod groups in two rows and offset from one another.

Außerdem ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Belagpapierblättchen parallel bis zur Schneideinrichtung eines Belagapparates geführt werden. Hierbei besteht insbesondere die Schneideinrichtung aus zwei separaten parallel zueinander angeordneten Schneidapparaten für die parallel zueinander zugeführten Belagpapierstreifen. Hierfür kann insbesondere doppelt breites Belagpapier verwendet werden, das in zwei Belagpapierstreifen geschnitten wird.In addition, it is advantageous if the tipping paper leaves parallel be guided to the cutting device of a coating apparatus. In this case, in particular, the cutting device consists of two separate arranged parallel to each other cutting apparatus for the Tipping paper strips fed parallel to each other. For this can in particular double-wide tipping paper used in two tipping paper strips is cut.

Eine weitere Lösung der Aufgabe besteht bei einer Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Filterzigaretten mit Mitteln zur Aufnahme von Zigarettenstäben doppelter Länge, mit Mitteln zum Zerschneiden dieser doppeltlangen Zigarettenstäbe in Zigarettenstäbe einfacher Länge, mit Mitteln zum Einbringen von Filterstopfen doppelter Länge zwischen die Zigarettenstäbe einfacher Länge, mit Mitteln zum Verbinden des doppeltlangen Filterstopfens mit den beiden Zigarettenstäben einfacher Länge durch Umhüllen mit einem Belagpapierblättchen, welches mittels einer Schneideinrichtung von einem zugeführten Belagpapierstreifen abgetrennt wird, mit Mitteln zum Ausführen eines Trennschnittes durch den doppeltlangen Filterstopfen, so dass Filterzigaretten normaler Gebrauchslänge entstehen, und mit Mitteln zum Zuführen von doppelbahnig angeordneten Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen zu einer Belageinrichtung, darin, dass zu einer gleichzeitigen, doppelbahnigen Verarbeitung der Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen zwei Belagpapierzuführungen für zwei Belagpapierstreifen vorgesehen sind, wobei die Belagpapierstreifen bei deren Zuführung zur Schneideinrichtung einen parallelen Bahnverlauf aufweisen.A further solution of the problem consists in a device for Production of filter cigarettes with means for receiving cigarette rods double length, with means for cutting these double-length cigarette rods in cigarette rods of simple length, with means for introducing filter plug of double length between the cigarette rods of simple length, with means of connection the double-length filter plug with the two cigarette rods simple length by wrapping with a tipping paper leaflets, which by means of a cutting device supplied by a Tipping paper strip is separated, with means for execution a separating cut through the double-length filter plug, so that filter cigarettes normal use length arise, and with Means for feeding double-lane cigarette rod filter plug cigarette rod groups to a covering device, in that to a simultaneous, double-lane processing the cigarette rod filter plug cigarette rod groups two Tamping paper feeds for two tipping paper strips provided are, wherein the tipping paper strips in their supply to the Cutting device have a parallel trajectory.

Dazu ist vorgesehen, dass die Schneideinrichtung zwei parallel zueinander angeordnete Schneidapparate aufweist, so dass die Schneidapparate unabhängig voneinander die parallel geführten Belagpapierstreifen schneiden.For this purpose, it is provided that the cutting device two parallel to each other arranged cutting apparatus, so that the Cutting devices independently of each other in parallel Cut tipping paper strips.

Insbesondere ist jeder Schneidapparat mittels einer Saugwalze und einer Messerwalze ausgebildet.In particular, each cutting apparatus by means of a suction roll and a knife roller formed.

Vorteilhafterweise ist vorgesehen, dass die Saug- und Messerwalze eines Schneidapparates phasenverschoben oder versetzt zu der Saug- und Messerwalze des anderen Schneidapparates arbeitet. Hierdurch werden die Belagpapierblättchen versetzt zueinander geschnitten und versetzt an die kammartig angeordneten Rauchartikelkomponenten, d.h. Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppen, angeheftet. Hierfür sind die Schneidsegmente der Schneidapparate versetzt zueinander ausgebildet.Advantageously, it is provided that the suction and knife roller a cutting apparatus out of phase or offset to the Suction and knife roller of the other cutting apparatus works.

In Fig. 1 ist schematisch eine Trommelanordnung einer doppelbahnigen Filteransetzmaschine in der Ansicht dargestellt. Der entsprechende Verfahrensablauf ist schematisch in Fig. 2 entsprechend gezeigt.In Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a drum arrangement of a double-lane Filter attachment machine shown in the view. The corresponding Procedure is shown schematically in Fig. 2 accordingly shown.

Bei einer doppelbahnigen Filteransetzmaschine werden von einer nicht dargestellten Zigarettenstrangmaschine Zigarettenstäbe 10 doppelter Gebrauchslänge zugeführt. Die Zigarettenstrangmaschine kann sowohl im Einstrang- als auch im Doppelstrangverfahren arbeiten. In a double-lane Filteransetzmaschine be of a cigarette rod machine not shown cigarette rods 10th fed double use length. The cigarette rod machine can work both single-stranded and double-stranded.

Bei der Filteransetzmaschine werden die einreihig geförderten Zigarettenstäbe 10 von einer Fördertrommel 23 an eine weitere Fördertrommel 24 übergeben. Die Zigarettenstäbe 10 sind in Förderrichtung queraxial hintereinander in einer Reihe angeordnet. Bei der Übergabe von der Fördertrommel 23 an die Fördertrommel 24 wird der queraxiale Teilungsabstand zwischen den hintereinander angeordneten Zigarettenstäben 10 doppelter Gebrauchslänge verringert. Gemäß der Erfindung weisen alle nachfolgenden Fördertrommein für die Zigarettenstäbe 10 einen verringerten Abstand zwischen den Aufnahmemulden bzw. Nuten im Vergleich zu der Fördertrommel 23 auf.In the filter attachment machine, the single-row promoted cigarette rods 10 of a conveyor drum 23 to a further conveyor drum 24 handed over. The cigarette rods 10 are in the conveying direction arranged transversely axially one behind the other in a row. In the Transfer from the conveyor drum 23 to the conveyor drum 24 is the transverse axial pitch between the successively arranged Cigarette Rods 10 double use length reduced. According to the invention, all subsequent conveying drums have for the cigarette rods 10 a reduced distance between the Receiving wells or grooves compared to the conveyor drum 23rd on.

Nach der Übergabe der Zigarettenstäbe 10 doppelter Gebrauchslänge werden die Zigarettenstäbe 10 an eine Fördertrommel 25 übergeben und auf dieser Fördertrommel kammartig auseinander gezogen, so dass zwei Reihen an queraxial hintereinander angeordneten Reihen an Zigarettenstäben 10 entstehen. Hierbei bilden die Zigarettestäbe 10 ein Überlappungsbereich aus, indem die beiden Reihen zahnartig versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind. Nach der Übergabe der versetzt zueinander ausgebildeten Doppelreihe der Zigarettenstäbe werden die Zigarettenstäbe auf einer Fördertrommel mittels eines Messers 26 für jede Reihe in der Mitte geschnitten.

This leads to longer Production times, allowing the machine at longer maintenance intervals must be serviced.

Im Anschluss an die Übergabe der geschnittenen Zigarettenstäbe an eine Fördertrommel 28 werden die geschnittenen Zigarettenstäbe jeder Reihe auf einer Spreiztrommel auseinander gezogen, so dass zwischen zwei längsaxial angeordneten Zigarettenstäben einfacher Gebrauchslänge ein Abstand geschaffen wird, um jeweils zwischen den längsaxial beabstandeten Zigaretten einen doppeltlangen Filterstopfen einlegen zu können.Following the transfer of the cut cigarette rods to a conveyor drum 28, the cut cigarette rods pulled apart each row on a spreader drum, so that between two longitudinally arranged cigarette rods easier Use length a distance is created to each between the longitudinally spaced cigarettes a double-length Insert filter plug.

Durch das kammartige Auseinanderziehen der Zigarettenstäbe doppelter Gebrauchslänge weisen die Zigarettenstäbe einer Reihe den doppelten Abstand auf. Dadurch wird ein ausreichender queraxialer Abstand zwischen den Zigarettenstäben geschaffen, so dass nach Einlegen eines Filterstopfens doppelter Länge ein Belagpapierblättchen an die Zigarettenstab-Filterstopfen-Zigarettenstab-Gruppe auf einer Fördertrommel 30 angeheftet werden kann. Nach der Übergabe der queraxial beabstandeten doppelreihig angeordneten Zigarettenstäbe an eine Zusammenstelltrommel 29, wird zwischen zwei Zigarettenstäben mittels einer Einlegetrommel 49 jeweils ein Filterstopfen doppelter Gebrauchslänge zwischen den beabstandeten Zigarettenstäben eingelegt. Die Filterstopfen doppelter Länge sind mit dem Bezugszeichen 12 (siehe Fig. 2) versehen.Due to the comb-like pulling of the cigarette rods double Use length, the cigarette rods of a series den double distance up. This will provide a sufficient cross-axial Distance between the cigarette rods created so that after Insert a double length filter plug into a tipping paper leaflet to the cigarette rod filter plug cigarette rod group a conveyor drum 30 can be attached. After the delivery the cross-axially spaced double row cigarette rods to a compilation drum 29, is between two Cigarette rods by means of a loading drum 49 each have a filter plug double use length between the spaced Inserted cigarette rods. The filter plugs are double length provided with the reference numeral 12 (see FIG. 2).

Die Filterstopfen 12 werden aus einem Dualhopper-Filtermagazin über Entnahmetrommeln 45, 46 an eine Fördertrommel 47 übergeben, anschließend werden die Filterstopfen über eine Fördertrommel 48 an eine Einlegetrommel 49 zugestellt, mittels der die Filterstopfen auf der Zusammenstelltrommel 29 zwischen zwei längsaxial beabstandeten Zigarettenstäben eingelegt werden.The filter plugs 12 are made from a dual hopper filter magazine passed over removal drums 45, 46 to a conveyor drum 47, then the filter plugs on a conveyor drum 48 delivered to an insertion drum 49, by means of the filter plug on the assembly drum 29 between two longitudinal axial spaced cigarette rods are inserted.
