Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Filterzigaretten mit Mehrfachfiltern aus unterschiedlichen stabförmigen Filterkomponenten, welche auf getrennten Förderwegen separaten Vorräten in mehrfacher Gebrauchslänge entnommen, in kürzere Längenabschnitte unterteilt und zwischen zwei koaxial zueinander ausgerichtete Tabakstäbe eingefügt werden.The invention relates to a method for producing filter cigarettes with multiple filters from different rod-shaped filter components, which are taken on separate conveyor paths separate stocks in multiple use length, divided into shorter lengths and inserted between two coaxially aligned tobacco rods.
Unter "unterschiedliche Filterkomponenten" sind im erfindungsgemäßen Sinn Filterkomponenten aus unterschiedlichem Filtermaterial und/oder Filterabschnitte unterschiedlicher Längenabmessungen zu verstehen.In the sense of the invention, "different filter components" are to be understood as meaning filter components made of different filter material and / or filter sections of different length dimensions.
Zur Herstellung von Filterzigaretten mit Kombinationsfiltern aus derart unterschiedlichen Filterkomponenten im sogenannten Querverfahren werden in einer Maschineneinheit stabförmige Filter- und Tabakartikel vor ihrer Vereinigung zunächst auf getrennten Wegen über zahlreiche Stationen in Form von Trommeln gefördert, deren vertikale und horizontale Achsabstände die Größe der Maschineneinheit bestimmen.For the production of filter cigarettes with combination filters of such different filter components in the so-called cross process are in a machine unit rod-shaped filters and tobacco promoted before their association initially on separate paths through numerous stations in the form of drums whose vertical and horizontal center distances determine the size of the machine unit.
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde die für die Bearbeitung und Handhabung von unterschiedlichen Filterkomponenten erforderlichen Arbeitsschritte so schonend zu gestalten, dass sensible Maschinenbereiche weitgehend verschmutzungsfrei gehalten werden können.The invention has for its object to make the required for the processing and handling of different filter components steps so gently that sensitive machine areas can be kept largely pollution-free.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1.
Die Erfindung umfasst eine Verfahrensweise, bei der zunächst die Paare von Einzelfilterstopfen und anschließend die doppeltlangen Filterstopfen zwischen die Tabakstäbe eingefügt werden, wobei nach einem weiteren Vorschlag die Einzelfilterstopfen in einer an die Tabakstäbe angrenzenden Lage und die doppeltlangen Filterstopfen in eine zentrale Lücke zwischen den Einzelfilterstopfen eingefügt werden. Dies ist besonders vorteilhaft für Filterkomponenten die während ihrer Handhabung Partikel absondern, so dass deren Ersteinfügung zwischen die Tabakstäbe den nachfolgenden sensiblen Bereich der Maschineneinheit, in der eine Beleimung und Umwicklung der Artikelkomponenten erfolgt, verschmutzungsfrei und damit langfristig funktionsfähig betrieben werden kann.The invention comprises a procedure in which first the pairs of single filter plugs and then the double-length filter plugs are inserted between the tobacco rods, wherein inserted according to a further proposal, the single filter plug in a position adjacent to the tobacco rods and the double-length filter plug into a central gap between the single filter plug become. This is particularly advantageous for filter components which secrete particles during their handling, so that their first insertion between the tobacco rods into the subsequent sensitive area of the machine unit, in which the components are glued and wrapped, can be operated so that they are free from contamination and thus long-term operational.
Die erfindungsgemäße Verfahrensweise wird gemäß einer Weiterbildung noch dadurch optimiert, dass die Einzelfilterstopfen aus Filterstäben von zwölffacher Gebrauchslänge und die doppeltlangen Filterstopfen aus Filterstäben von sechsfacher Gebrauchslänge erhalten werden.The procedure according to the invention is further optimized according to a development in that the individual filter plugs are obtained from filter rods of twelve times the useful length and the double-length filter plugs are obtained from filter rods of six times the useful length.
Eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des eingangs bezeichneten Verfahrens besteht darin, dass der eine Förderweg durch fünf Fördertrommeln gebildet ist zur zweifa chen Unterteilung von aus dem einen separaten Vorrat entnommenen Filterstäben von sechsfacher Gebrauchslänge, zur Staffelung, queraxialen Hintereinanderreihung und Unterteilung der erhaltenen Filterstäbe doppelter Gebrauchslänge in Einzelfilterstopfen sowie zur längsaxialen Spreizung und queraxialen Abstandsvergrößerung zum Einfügen der Einzelfilterstopfen zwischen die Tabakstäbe, und dass der andere Förderweg durch sechs Fördertrommeln gebildet ist, zur zweifachen Unterteilung von aus dem anderen separaten Vorrat entnommenen Filterstäben von zwölffacher Gebrauchslänge, zur Staffelung, queraxialen Hintereinanderreihung und Unterteilung der erhaltenen Filterstäbe vierfacher Gebrauchslänge, sowie zur Staffelung, queraxialen Hintereinanderreihung und queraxialen Abstandsvergrößerung zum Einfügen der erhaltenen Filterstäbe doppelter Gebrauchslänge zwischen die Tabakstäbe.
Zum Zusammenfügen der getrennt zugeführten Filterstopfen und der auf einem dritten Weg zugeführten Tabakstäbe wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, dass der durch fünf Fördertrommeln gebildete Förderweg für die eine Filterkomponente - bezogen auf die Förderrichtung der Tabakstäbe entlang eines durch aneinandergereihte Fördertrommeln gebildeten Förderweges - stromauf über eine Zusammenstelltrommel mit dem Förderweg der Tabakstäbe in Wirkverbindung steht, und daß der durch sechs Fördertrommeln gebildete Förderweg für die andere Filterkomponente stromab über eine Zusammenstelltrommel mit dem Förderweg der Tabakstäbe in Wirkverbindung steht.An apparatus for carrying out the method described at the outset is that the one conveying path is formed by five conveyor drums for zweia Division of filter rods taken from a separate stock of six times the length of use, for staggering, transverse axial sequencing and subdivision of the resulting filter rods twice the length of use in Einzelfilterstopfen and the axial axial spread and Queraxialen distance increase for inserting the single filter plug between the tobacco rods, and that the other conveying path through six For two-fold subdivision of taken from the other separate stock filter rods of twelve times the useful length, the staggering, queraxialreiinhung and subdivision of the resulting filter rods four times the length of use, and staggering, queraxialen sequencing and Queraxialen distance increase for inserting the resulting filter rods twice the useful length between the tobacco rods.
To assemble the separately supplied filter plugs and the tobacco rods supplied in a third way, it is further proposed that the conveying path formed by five conveyor drums for the one filter component - with respect to the conveying direction of the tobacco rods along one another by lined up Conveying drums formed conveying path - upstream of a compilation drum with the conveying path of the tobacco rods is in operative connection, and that the conveying path formed by six conveyor drums for the other filter component is downstream via a compilation drum with the conveying path of the tobacco rods in operative connection.
Infolge der bis zur Einfügung zwischen die Tabakstäbe konsequenten zweibahnigen Handhabung der unterschiedlichen Filterkomponenten wird eine Umrüstung der Maschine bzw. deren Anpassung an andere Filterkomponenten und deren Einfügung erleichtert. Insbesondere wird eine Umrüstung auf eine einzige Standard-Filterkomponente durch eine einseitige Außerbetriebnahme der eingangsseitigen Filterzuführtrommeln vereinfacht.
Darüber hinaus können verschmutzungsintensive Filterkomponenten, wie zum Beispiel Charcoalfilter aus einem besonders sensiblen Maschinenbereich mit Beleimungs- und Wickeleinrichtungen herausgehalten werden.As a result of the two-way handling of the different filter components, which is consistent up to the insertion between the tobacco rods, a conversion of the machine or its adaptation to other filter components and their insertion is facilitated. In particular, a conversion to a single standard filter component is simplified by a one-sided decommissioning of the input-side filter feed drums.
In addition, pollution-intensive filter components, such as Charcoal filters, can be kept out of a particularly sensitive machine area with gluing and winding devices.
In der Zeichnung ist ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand eines schematisierten Trommelplans mit zugeordneten Arbeitsgängen dargestellt.In the drawing, a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to a schematic drum plan is shown with associated operations.
Mittels einer Schneidtrommel 1 werden Filterstäbe einer ersten Komponente (beispielsweise aus Charcoal) von sechsfacher Gebrauchslänge aus einem Magazin 3 entnommen, mittels zweier Kreismesser 4 in drei Filterstäbe 6 von doppelter Gebrauchslänge unterteilt, an eine Staffeltrommel 7 übergeben und auf dieser in eine Staffelformation 8 überführt. Von der Staffeltrommel 7 gelangen die gestaffelten Filterstäbe 6 auf eine Schiebetrommel 9, auf der sie in eine Reihenformation 11 überführt und nochmals durch ein Kreismesser 12 in einfachlange Filterstopfen 13 unterteilt werden. Mittels einer Spreiztrommel 14 werden die Filterstopfen 13 in eine Spreizformation 16 versetzt, in der jeweils zwischen zwei Filterstopfen 13 eines Paares ein größerer stirnseitiger Abstand hergestellt wird, und anschließend' in dieser Formation auf eine Beschleunigungstrommel 17 überführt, auf der die Filterstopfen 13 in eine queraxial vergrößerte Abstandsformation 18 gebracht werden.By means of a cutting drum 1 filter rods of a first component (for example Charcoal) of six times the length of use are taken from a magazine 3, divided by two circular blades 4 in three filter rods 6 of double use length, passed to a staggering drum 7 and transferred to this in a relay formation 8. From the staggering drum 7, the staggered filter rods 6 reach a sliding drum 9, on which they are transferred into a
Von der Beschleunigungstrommel 17 werden die längsaxial und queraxial beabstandeten Filterstopfen 13 direkt auf einer Zusammenstelltrommel 19 gemäß Einfügeposition 21 beidseitig in die Lücke zwischen zwei Tabakstäben 22 eingefügt, welche in doppelter Gebrauchslänge von einer Trommel 23 zugeführt, auf einer Schneidtrommel 24 gemäß Schneidposition 26 mittig durchtrennt und auf einer Spreiztrommel 27 gemäß Spreizposition 28 längsaxial auseinandergezogen wurden.From the
Mittels einer Schneidtrommel 29 werden Filterstäbe 31 einer zweiten Komponente von zwölffacher Gebrauchslänge aus einem Magazin 32 entnommen, mittels zweier Kreismesser 33 in drei Filterstopfen 34 von vierfacher Gebrauchslänge unterteilt, an eine Staffeltrommel 36 übergeben und auf dieser in eine Staffelformation 37 überführt. Von der Staffeltrommel 36 gelangen die gestaffelten Filterstopfen 34 auf eine Schiebetrommel 38, auf der sie in eine Reihenformation 39 überführt und nochmals durch ein Kreismesser 41 in Filterstopfen 42 von doppelter Gebrauchslänge unterteilt werden. Auf einer Staffeltrommel 43 werden die durchtrennten Filterstopfen 42 wiederum in eine Staffelformation 44 gebracht und auf einer Schiebetrommel 46 in eine Reihenformation 47 versetzt, in der sie zurück auf die Staffeltrommel 43 gelangen. Mittels einer Beschleunigungstrommel 48 werden die queraxial beabstandeten Filterstopfen 42 auf einer Zusammenstelltrommel 49 mittig in die Lücke zwischen die beiden Filterstopfen 13 gemäß Einfügeposition 50 eingefügt.
Die in der Einfügeposition 50 geschaffene Tabak-Filterstab-Kombination 13, 22, 42 von doppelter Gebrauchslänge wird anschließend auf bekannte Weise durch mittige Trennung des doppeltlangen Filterstopfens 42 zu Einzelfilterzigaretten konfektioniet. By means of a
