Mittels der Linearführungseinrichtung wird erreicht, dass der Abstand zwischen der ersten, insbesondere oberen, und der zweiten, insbesondere unteren, Kehle durch eine vertikale und geradlinige Verfahrbarkeit wenigstens einer Kehle quer zur Förderrichtung des Strangs variierbar ist, so dass eine besonders günstige Strangbildung ermöglicht ist. Durch die Linearführungseinrichtung ist eine Formatverstellung bei Filtermaschinen auf einfache Weise auszuführen, da ein so genanntes Formatpaket mit der oberen Kehle in Bezug auf die untere ortsfeste Kehle beweglich linear und geradlinig ausgeführt ist.By means of the linear guide device it is achieved that the distance between the first, in particular upper, and the second, in particular lower, throat is variable by a vertical and rectilinear movability of at least one throat transversely to the conveying direction of the strand, so that a particularly favorable strand formation is made possible. By the linear guide device format adjustment in filter machines is to perform a simple way, since a so-called format package with the upper throat with respect to the lower stationary throat is designed to be movable linear and straight.

Zur gleichzeitigen Herstellung mehrerer Filterstränge an einer Filterherstellungsmaschine wird vorgeschlagen, dass für mehrere Stränge jeweils eine erste Kehle und eine zweite Kehle und jeweils eine Linearführungseinrichtung vorgesehen sind.For the simultaneous production of a plurality of filter strands on a filter manufacturing machine, it is proposed that for each of a plurality of strands, a first throat and a second throat and a respective linear guide device be provided.

Um den Abstand zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Kehle präzise einstellen zu können, ist vorteilhafterweise ein Anschlag für die wenigstens eine oder mehrere Linearführungseinrichtungen jeweils vorgesehen.In order to be able to set the distance between the first and second throat precisely, a stop for the at least one or more linear guide devices is advantageously provided in each case.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Linearführungseinrichtung bzw. Linearführungseinrichtungen und/oder der Anschlag bzw. die Anschläge mittels eines Antriebs, insbesondere Spindelantriebs, verstellbar sind.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that the linear guide device or linear guide devices and / or the stop or the stops by means of a drive, in particular spindle drive, are adjustable.

Um den Abstand zwischen den formgebenden Kehlen exakt einzustellen, ist weiterhin vorgesehen, dass der Antrieb mittels einer Steuereinrichtung steuerbar oder mittels einer Regeleinrichtung regelbar ist.In order to set the distance between the shaping grooves exactly, it is further provided that the drive can be controlled by means of a control device or regulated by means of a control device.

Hierzu ist vorteilhafterweise die Steuereinrichtung oder die Regeleinrichtung mit einem, insbesondere elektrischen, Wegaufnehmer für den Anschlag oder die Linearführungseinrichtung verbunden.For this purpose, the control device or the control device is advantageously connected to a, in particular electrical, transducer for the stop or the linear guide device.

Weiterhin zeichnet sich die Formatbildungseinrichtung dadurch aus, dass die erste, insbesondere obere, Kehle für einen Strang an einer Trageinheit angeordnet ist, wobei die Trageinheit oder die Trageinheiten mit der wenigstens einen Linearführungseinrichtung verbunden sind.Furthermore, the format forming device is characterized in that the first, in particular upper, throat is arranged for a strand on a support unit, wherein the support unit or the support units are connected to the at least one linear guide device.

Bei einer Formatbildungseinrichtung einer Mehrfachstrangmaschine zur Herstellung mehrerer Filterstränge ist es von Vorteil, wenn die erste, insbesondere obere, Kehle für jeweils einen Strang an einer Trageinheit angeordnet ist, wobei die Trageinheit mit der Linearführungseinrichtung für den jeweiligen Strang verbunden ist.In a format forming device of a multiple-strand machine for producing a plurality of filter strands, it is advantageous if the first, in particular upper, throat is arranged for one strand on a support unit, wherein the support unit is connected to the linear guide device for the respective strand.

Außerdem ist es günstig, wenn die zweite, insbesondere untere, Kehle für den Strang jeweils ortsfest angeordnet ist. Insbesondere sind die Trageinheit oder die Trageinheiten an einem verschwenkbaren Tragarm angeordnet.It is also advantageous if the second, in particular lower, throat for the strand is arranged in each case stationary. In particular, the support unit or the support units are arranged on a pivotable support arm.

Darüber hinaus ist es günstig, wenn die Trageinheit oder die Trageinheiten mit zwei voneinander, insbesondere in Förderrichtung des Strangs beabstandeten, Linearführungseinrichtungen verbunden sind, wodurch erreicht wird, dass der zu bildende Strang gleichmäßig geformt wird.Moreover, it is advantageous if the carrying unit or the carrying units are connected to two, in particular in the conveying direction of the strand spaced, linear guide means, whereby it is achieved that the strand to be formed is uniformly shaped.

Um im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik einen bestimmten und gegebenenfalls variierbaren Druck auf die Strangbildung bereit stellen zu können, weisen die Trageinheit oder die Trageinheiten jeweils mindestens ein Federelement, insbesondere ein je nach Bedarf dimensioniertes Druckfederelement, auf.

In den folgenden Figuren sind jeweils gleiche oder gleichartige Elemente bzw. entsprechende Teile mit denselben Bezugsziffern versehen, so dass von einer entsprechenden erneuten Vorstellung abgesehen wird.In the following figures, identical or similar elements or corresponding parts are provided with the same reference numerals, so that a corresponding renewed idea is dispensed with.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Formatbildungseinrichtung 10 einer schematisch bezeichneten Filterherstellungsmaschine F in einer Seitenansicht dargestellt. Eine Filterherstellungsmaschine ist beispielsweise unter der Bezeichnung KDF der Patentanmelderin bekannt.In Fig. 1, a format forming means 10 of a schematically designated filter manufacturing machine F is shown in a side view. A filter manufacturing machine is known, for example, under the name KDF of the patent applicant.

Die Formatbildungseinrichtung 10 verfügt über einen Tragarm 11, der um eine Schwenkachse 12 verschwenkbar ist. Die Schwenkachse 12 ist senkrecht zur Zeichenebene ausgebildet.The format forming device 10 has a support arm 11 which is pivotable about a pivot axis 12. The pivot axis 12 is formed perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.

Der Tragarm 11 weist ein waagerecht angeordnetes Kopfteil 13 auf, an dem ein Hubzylinder 14 angeordnet ist. Unterhalb des Kopfteils 13 ist ferner ein Formatpaket als Trageinheit 15 angeordnet, an dessen unteren Ende eine Schiene 16 mit einer senkrecht zur Zeichenebene verlaufenden Kehle 17 befestigt ist. Die Kehle 17 bildet das so genannte Oberformat für die Formatbildungseinrichtung 10.The support arm 11 has a horizontally arranged head part 13, on which a lifting cylinder 14 is arranged. Below the head part 13, a format package is further arranged as a carrying unit 15, at the lower end of a rail 16 is fixed with a perpendicular to the plane extending throat 17. The throat 17 forms the so-called upper format for the format forming device 10.

Der Schiene 16 mit der Kehle 17 gegenüber ist eine untere Schiene 18 mit einer Kehle 19 angeordnet, wobei zwischen der oberen Kehle 17 und der unteren Kehle 19 ein Filterstrang 20 senkrecht zur Zeichenebene hindurchgeführt wird.The rail 16 with the throat 17 opposite a lower rail 18 is arranged with a throat 19, wherein between the upper throat 17 and the lower throat 19, a filter strand 20 is passed perpendicular to the plane.

Zwischen der Trageinheit 15 und dem senkrechten Bereich des Tragarms 11 ist eine Linearführungseinrichtung 21 angeordnet, so dass die Trageinheit 15 zusammen mit der Schiene 16 in vertikaler Richtung geradlinig verschiebbar bzw. positionierbar ist.Between the support unit 15 and the vertical region of the support arm 11, a linear guide device 21 is arranged, so that the support unit 15 is linearly displaceable or positionable together with the rail 16 in the vertical direction.

Um den Abstand zwischen den Schienen 16 und 18 bzw. den Kehlen 17 und 19 auf ein vorbestimmtes und gewünschtes Maß zu begrenzen, ist am unteren Ende neben der Schiene 18 ein höhenverstellbarer Anschlag 22 angeordnet. Hierfür ist am unteren Ende des Anschlags 22 ein Antrieb 23 für den Anschlag 22 vorgesehen. Der Antrieb 23 kann beispielsweise als Spindelantrieb ausgebildet sein.In order to limit the distance between the rails 16 and 18 and the throats 17 and 19 to a predetermined and desired level, a height-adjustable stop 22 is arranged at the lower end next to the rail 18. For this purpose, a drive 23 for the stop 22 is provided at the lower end of the stopper 22. The drive 23 may be formed, for example, as a spindle drive.

Um den Abstand zwischen den Schienen 16 und 18 bzw. den Kehlen 17 und 19 und damit den Abstand zwischen Oberformat und Unterformat exakt einstellen zu können, ist ferner am Anschlag 22 ein Sensor 24 beispielsweise in Form eines elektrischen Wegaufnehmers. Der Sensor 24 ist mit dem Antrieb 23 verbunden, so dass entsprechend einem gewünschten Abstand zwischen den Kehlen 17 und 19 der Anschlag 22 verfahren wird. Mittels des Sensors 24 wird der Antrieb 23 entsprechend geregelt. Die Trageinheit 15 wird mittels des Hubzylinders 14 und/oder einer am Kopfteil 13 angeordneten Feder 25 nach unten gedrückt, so dass zur Bildung eines gleichmäßig rund geformten Stranges 20 ausreichend Kraft auf den Strang 20 ausgeübt wird.In order to be able to set the distance between the rails 16 and 18 or the throats 17 and 19 and thus the distance between the upper format and lower format exactly, a stop 24 is also a sensor 24, for example in the form of an electrical transducer. The sensor 24 is connected to the drive 23, so that according to a desired distance between the grooves 17 and 19 of the stopper 22 is moved. By means of the sensor 24, the drive 23 is controlled accordingly. The support unit 15 is pressed downwards by means of the lifting cylinder 14 and / or a spring 25 arranged on the head part 13, so that sufficient force is exerted on the strand 20 to form a uniformly round shaped strand 20.

Als Alternative zur ausgebildeten Regeleinrichtung mit dem Sensor 24 und dem Antrieb 23 kann eine Steuereinrichtung 26 vorgesehen sein, um den Antrieb 23 zu steuern. Dies ist in Fig. 1 mit einer gestrichelten Linie entsprechend angedeutet.As an alternative to the trained control device with the sensor 24 and the drive 23, a control device 26 may be provided to control the drive 23. This is indicated in Fig. 1 with a dashed line accordingly.

Nach einem Formatbandwechsel kann beispielsweise die obere Schiene 16 in eine gewünschte Anfangsposition gestellt werden. Hierdurch wird nach dem Formatbandwechsel die Produktion von falsch dimensionierten Filtern verhindert. Mittels des Sensors 24 ist stets die Position der Schiene 16 bzw. der Trageinheit 15 in Bezug auf die untere Schiene 18 bekannt.After a format tape change, for example, the upper rail 16 can be placed in a desired initial position. This prevents the production of incorrectly dimensioned filters after the format tape change. By means of the sensor 24 is always the position of the rail 16 and the support unit 15 with respect to the lower rail 18 known.

Fig. 2 zeigt das Beispiel einer Formatbildungseinrichtung einer Doppelstrang-Filterherstellungsmaschine F. Hierbei sind für die beiden zu bildenden Filterstränge 20 nebeneinander jeweils eine Schiene 16 mit einer oberen Kehle 17 sowie eine untere Schiene 18 mit einer Kehle 19 vorgesehen. Die beiden Filterstränge 20 werden senkrecht zur Zeichenebene gefördert.2 shows the example of a format forming device of a double-strand filter production machine F. In this case, a rail 16 with an upper throat 17 and a lower rail 18 with a throat 19 are provided side by side for the two filter strands 20 to be formed. The two filter strands 20 are conveyed perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.

Der in Fig. 2 eingezeichnete Tragarm 11 der Doppelstrang-Filterherstellungsmaschine F ist U-förmig ausgebildet, wobei die Öffnung des U nach unten weist. An der Unterseite des waagerecht angeordneten Kopfteils 13 sind zwei Hubzylinder 14 angeordnet, die jeweils das Formatpaket in Form der Trageinheit 15 für jeden Strang 20 nach unten drücken.The plotted in Fig. 2 support arm 11 of the double-strand filter manufacturing machine F is U-shaped, with the opening of the U facing down. On the underside of the horizontally arranged head portion 13, two lifting cylinders 14 are arranged, each pressing the format package in the form of the support unit 15 for each strand 20 down.

Um die Trageinheiten 15 vertikal geradlinig zu verschieben, sind an den Innenseiten des U-förmigen, nach unten offenen Tragarms 11 jeweils seitlich mindestens eine Linearführungseinrichtung 21 für die jeweiligen Trageinheiten 15 vorgesehen. Um einen individuellen Abstand zwischen den beiden Kehlen 17, 19 jedes zu bildenden Strangs 20 einhalten zu können, kann der Abstand zwischen den Schienen 16, 18 jedes Strangs 20 mittels eines entsprechenden höhenverstellbaren Anschlags 22 jeweils entsprechend und individuell eingestellt werden. Hierzu verfügt jeder Anschlag 22 über einen Antrieb 23, der entsprechend individuell gesteuert oder geregelt wird.In order to move the carrying units 15 vertically in a straight line, at least one linear guide device 21 for the respective carrying units 15 is provided laterally on the inner sides of the U-shaped, downwardly open carrying arm 11. In order to maintain an individual distance between the two grooves 17, 19 of each strand 20 to be formed, the distance between the Rails 16, 18 of each strand 20 are respectively adjusted by means of a corresponding height-adjustable stopper 22 and individually. For this purpose, each stop 22 has a drive 23 which is individually controlled or regulated accordingly.

Zur exakten Einstellung des Abstands zwischen dem Ober- und dem Unterformat jedes Strangs 20 ist auf jeder Seite des Strangs 20 jeweils ein Sensor 24 in Form eines elektrischen Wegaufnehmers vorgesehen.For exact adjustment of the distance between the upper and the lower format of each strand 20, a sensor 24 in the form of an electrical displacement sensor is provided on each side of the strand 20.

Selbstverständlich ist es im Rahmen der Erfindung möglich, eine Filterherstellungsmaschine F für mehr als zwei Filterstränge gemäß dem Erfindungsgedanken auszubilden, wobei für jeweils einen zu formenden Strang 20 der Abstand zwischen dem Unter- und dem Oberformat individuell und unabhängig von den anderen Ober- und Unterformaten über eine Linearführung in Kombination mit einem Anschlag für das Ober- oder Unterformat eingestellt werden kann. Gemäß dem Erfindungsgedanken ist hierbei zur Einstellung des Abstandes jeweils eine Linearführungseinrichtung quer, insbesondere senkrecht, zur Förderrichtung des jeweils zu bildenden Strangs vorgesehen, wobei dadurch die Kehle des Oberformats und die Kehle des Unterformats relativ zueinander bewegt werden oder relativ zueinander bewegbar sind.Of course, it is within the scope of the invention possible to form a filter manufacturing machine F for more than two filter strands according to the concept of the invention, wherein for each one strand 20 to be formed, the distance between the lower and the upper format individually and independently of the other upper and lower formats a linear guide in combination with a stop for the top or bottom format can be set. According to the concept of the invention, a linear guide device is provided transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the conveying direction of the respective strand to be formed, whereby the throat of the upper format and the lower format throat are moved relative to one another or are movable relative to one another.
