Definitions
- the invention relates to a machine for the production of rod-shaped products of the tobacco-processing industry having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Such machines include, among other important functional assemblies, a format assembly having a trim assembly in which a wrapping strip is wrapped around a strand of a product such as a wrapping strip. Tobacco or filter material, beaten around, glued by means of a glue nozzle and glued in an adhesive chamber. After the adhesive chamber, a seam heating is provided, which is directed to the glue seam and hardens the glue by heating.
- the format set comprises a format base with at least one channel which, starting from a flat base, has a decreasing radius in the longitudinal direction, that is to say it recesses in the longitudinal direction of the format base.
- a driven format tape is guided, on which an endless strand of the product rests with a wrapping strip. Due to the shape of the channel in the direction of the format strip of the wrapping strip is struck during the transport movement on the sides of the loose strand lying up.
- the garniture includes one or more format tops which are shaped to complement the trough at the top in the direction of travel of the format tape with a decreasing radius as far as a closed channel, so that the wrapper strip during the further transport movement after the lateral beating on the top is further beaten around the strand.
- a glue line is applied to one of the edges of the wrapping strip by means of a glue nozzle, by means of which the edges of the wrapping strip are subsequently glued together in an adhesive chamber to fix the shape of the strand. After bonding the edges, they are heated to harden the glue via a seam heater.
- the format tape itself is deflected at the entrance and exit of the format garnish on format band deflection rollers, the wrapping strip and the strand are placed at the entrance of the Forming garniture after the deflection of the format strip successively and removed the form-fixed strand at the output of the Formiturnitur before deflecting the format strip of the format tape becomes.
- a scraper is provided, which is directed at an angle and with a small gap on the format tape and strips on the format tape adhering tobacco residues or other particles.
- a second scraper is provided, which is directed to the format band deflection roller at the exit of the format band set and serves to remove existing residues from the format band deflection roller.
- a Strangabditer is provided at the output of the garniture, with which the strand as needed from the proposed transport path, for example, in discovered errors, led out and the transport of the strand can be interrupted in the machine.
- the garniture must be replaced in parts or in total (format change) because the geometry of the form-fixed strand and the products subsequently separated by the geometry the gutter and the chamber is predetermined.
- the above function modules After changing the parts of the garniture, the above function modules must be realigned to the new parts of the garniture and / or the rest of the format tape strand other format, which is very complex and time-consuming due to the tight tolerances.
- the invention has the object to provide a machine of the generic type, which should have a simpler structural design and in the format change easier and faster in particular can be performed.
- the orientation and / or the arrangement of the reference surface can be changed.
- the arrangement and orientation of the respective reference surface to the strand or the part of the pattern set is chosen so that the functional assembly is positioned with the crucial parts equal to the predetermined orientation and arrangement.
- the coding of the arrangement of the functional assembly to the part of the garniture and / or to the strand is thus realized by the arrangement and the orientation of the reference surface on the part of the garniture, so that the functional assembly automatically by the arrangement on the reference surface automatically formatindividuell in their predetermined Orientation and arrangement is positioned to the strand and / or to the format part.
- the functional assembly no longer needs to be adjusted after placement on the reference surface because the information about the predetermined placement and alignment of the functional assembly with the part of the trim assembly or strand is provided by the provision of the reference surface in the portion of the trim assembly itself.
- the format change itself considerably simplified by the proposed solution due to the discontinued adjustment of the function module and in particular be done faster.
- the reference surface in the arrangement and orientation can also be chosen so that the function module can only be mounted and / or the entire machine can only be put into operation when the function module is applied to the reference surface. By changing the reference surface in its orientation or arrangement, the positioning of the functional assembly prior to abutment with the reference surface may be preset to match product properties, with the coding of the predetermined position of the functional assembly still being included in the format part itself.
- the trim set can be set individually to the particular shape of the products to be produced, whereby the functional assemblies themselves need not be deliberately changed or adjusted. Rather, identical functional assemblies can be used to make products of different formats, which can significantly reduce the cost of stocking the functional assemblies as well as the cost and time to retool the machine. Thus, it is also possible, for example, to replace a functional module with a functional module of another machine, which is not operated at this time for any reason.
- the functional module can be moved by means of an adjusting device from the system on the reference surface into a format change position and vice versa.
- the Functional assembly must therefore not completely dismantled to the format change, but instead be moved only in the format change position, from which it can be moved by means of the adjustment by the system on the reference surface of the new format part immediately in the new intended position.
- the adjusting device may comprise a stationary pivot bearing, wherein the movement of the functional assembly from the system to the reference surface in the format change position in this case is realized particularly handling friendly by a pivoting movement about the fixed pivot bearing.
- the functional assembly does not need to be disassembled, but only pivoted, which can be done by easy-to-carry out handling operations.
- the function module is spring-loaded in the direction of the system on the reference surface.
- the function module thereby pivots automatically in the predetermined position, depending on the spring forces acting If necessary, additionally a fastening in the desired position can be provided. Furthermore, it can be ensured by the spring load of the function module that the function module always rests against the reference surface and adjusted against the acting spring force or must be pivoted to the format change position.
- At least one first functional assembly has a reference surface which is aligned and arranged such that a second functional assembly by abutment with the reference surface of the first functional assembly in a predetermined orientation and arrangement to the Form Garnitur and / or is positioned in the strand.
- the second reference surface practically creates a chain reference system which, starting with the first reference surface, also makes it possible to arrange further functional assemblies in a predetermined alignment with the strand and / or the format parts.
- the orientation and / or the arrangement of the reference surface can be structurally particularly easily changed by an adjusting device, wherein the adjusting device can be formed by a control part with a linear adjusting movement particularly preferred.
- the alignment and / or arrangement of the function assembly can be adjusted, the adjustment can also be made with already arranged on the format set function module with a corresponding accessibility of the adjusting device, so that the set Alignment and / or arrangement of the function module can be checked immediately to the style set and readjusted if necessary.
- the construction can be considerably simplified as a whole, since the functional assembly and its holder for changing the orientation and / or arrangement need not be changed, and in particular the functional assembly need not have any adjustment.
- the reference surface has an immediate positional relationship with the strand guided in the format and the wrapping strip to be glued, so that, for example, the arrangement and / or orientation of the glue nozzle by the proposed adjustment of the reference surface on the garniture with a very small tolerance chain or can be adjusted with a very high accuracy to the strand and the wrapping strip.
- the adjusting device is formed by a setting part with a linear adjusting movement, since the orientation and / or arrangement is thereby proportional to the adjusting movement and thereby characterized. manually set particularly easy.

- the adjusting device comprises a pivoting part which is mounted in a stationary pivot bearing, and the pivoting part abuts with a stop on the actuating part, and the movement of the actuating part via the pivoting part to the functional assembly is transferable.
- the pivoting part By the pivoting part, the adjustment movement of the reference surface can be transferred to a more distant contact surface of the function module.
- the adjustment movement can be sub-translated or translated.
- the function module can also be forced against the reference surface by utilizing the tensile or compressive forces exerted by the format band. This is particularly useful in the function module I of the format tape outlet, since the format tape exerts a moment on the functional assembly I by the guide down at an arrangement of the pivot bearing on the side facing the format set side of the format band deflection, which the functional assembly I with the pivoting part against the Bottom of the format set urges.

- the reference surfaces E are the side surfaces of the positioning discs 21, which can be changed by using other positioning discs 21.
- positioning discs 21 with an oversized opening may also be used so that they can be displaced laterally on the pin 22 to change the orientation and arrangement of the side surfaces.
- FIG. 6 and Fig. 7 an alternative embodiment of the machine can be seen, in which an adapter piece 30 with two grub screws 29 and 28 is attached to the format set.
- the adapter piece 30 is attached laterally to the format base 1 of the format set, so that the format tops 11 and 12 of the format set must not be changed.
- the grub screws 28 and 29 are aligned and arranged on the adapter piece 30, that the first grub screw 28 vertically and the second grub screw 29 are aligned horizontally and perpendicular to the run in the Formgarnitur strand.
- the end faces of the grub screws 28 and 29 form the reference surfaces B and C, where the functional assembly II with the glue nozzle 13 is applied.
- a stop is provided on the functional assembly II, with which the functional assembly II rests against the reference surface C of the horizontally oriented second grub screw 29. Further, a pivotally mounted in a stationary pivot bearing 9 pivoting part 3 is provided on the machine, which rests with a lever arm on the functional assembly II and rests with the other lever arm with a stop 8 on the reference surface B of the first set screw 28.
- the adapter piece 30 is expedient insofar as a processing of the format upper parts 11 and 12 would be very costly for the formation of reference surfaces and also on each of the replaced format parts 11 or 12 corresponding reference surfaces would have to be provided.
- the format parts 11 or 12 can be exchanged, and the reference surfaces B and C are provided by attaching the same adapter piece 30 on the format set. It is particularly important that the adapter piece 30 is not part of the functional assembly II with the glue nozzle 13, so that different functional assemblies II or functional assemblies II can be positioned with different glue nozzles 13 using a single adapter piece 30 on the pattern.
- the second grub screw 29 is rotated, whereby the functional assembly II is moved horizontally linear.
- the orientation of the glue nozzle 13 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by the first set screw 28 is rotated and thereby pivots the pivot member 3 and the function assembly II is raised.

- a swivel mounted in a stationary pivot bearing 9 pivoting part 3 is provided, which rests with a stop 8 on a front-side reference surface F of a screwed into the format set grub screw 32.
- the pivoting part 3 is also applied to the functional assembly V with the Abrangabtrainr 33, so that the functional assembly V can be raised or lowered vertically by rotating the grub screw 32 and thereby caused pivoting of the pivot member 3 about the pivot bearing 9.
- the functional assemblies VI and VII of the paper deflection roller 35 of the paper inlet and the second format belt deflection roller 34 can be seen on the format inlet.
- the orientation of the functional assembly VI of the paper inlet is determined by the reference surface G, which is formed by the end face of a screwed into the base 1 grub screw 32.
- a stop 8 of a pivoting part 3 At the reference surface G of the grub screw 32 is a stop 8 of a pivoting part 3, which in turn is pivotally mounted in an unrecognizable machine-fixed pivot bearing and rests with a lever arm on the functional assembly VI of the paper inlet.
- a locking screw 40 is first released on the functional assembly VI and then the function assembly VI adjusted by turning the grub screw 32, in which pivots the pivot member 3 via the voltage applied to the stop 8 with the reference surface G grub screw 32 and thereby raises or lowers the function module VI.
- the reference surface G is provided here on the front side of the grub screw 32, which can be changed or adjusted in position by turning the grub screw 32. This makes it possible to adjust the orientation of the Paper Feed Function Assembly VI directly on the machine, directly inspecting the nominal dimensions of the Function Assembly VI to the format set.
- the function module VII format infeed with the format band deflection roller 34 is also a in the Fig. 11 set to be detected pivot part 3b, which is pivotally mounted in a likewise fixed machine pivot bearing 9 and rests with a stop 8 on a reference surface H.
- the reference surface H is also formed by the end face of a grub screw 32, and can be changed and adjusted in position by turning the grub screw 32.
- the functional assemblies VI and VII can be seen in other views, wherein the pivoting parts 3 are designated here for the sake of better distinction with 3a and 3b.
- the pivoting part 3 of the functional assembly VII of the format tape inlet is 3b and the pivoting part 3 of the functional assembly VI of the paper inlet is denoted by 3a.
- the functional modules I, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII must therefore no longer be set separately after a replacement of the format reason 1 or the format tops 11, 12, 19 in a format change, but only with the stops 8 at the reference surfaces A. , B, C, D, E, F, G and H are brought to bear, if they are already in the desired position. It is particularly important that the functional assemblies I, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII are each rotatably connected to the pivoting parts 3, so that the pivotal movement of the pivoting parts 3 is transmitted to this.
- FIGS. 14 and 15 is an example of a backup of the grub screw 32 from the in the Fig. 4 shown embodiment shown in more detail.
- the grub screw 32 in the Fig. 14 is formed T-shaped with a provided at the end of the grub screw 32 plate 38 and screwed into a threaded hole of the Formatgroundes 1, so that the plate 38 of the grub screw 32 covers a lower wall side of the Formatgroundes 1.
- a spring 37 is provided, which is supported between the plate 38 and the lower wall side of the Formatgroundes 1 and thereby biases the grub screw 32.
- the grub screw 32 is characterized by an increased frictional engagement with the thread in the threaded hole and can not rotate independently from the once set position. As a result, the orientation of the reference surface D on the front side of the grub screw 32 is not or only difficult to move out of the target position. The grub screw 32 is practically secured in the set nominal position.
- the grub screw 32 is secured by a laterally fitting clamping piece 39, which is pressed by a screw 36 to the shank of the grub screw 32 and secures the grub screw 32 against unintentional rotation.
- the clamping piece 39 and the spring 37 form in both embodiments locking devices, which prevent the grub screw 32 unintentionally dissolves or twisted and thereby changes the position of the reference surface D.
- the grub screw 32 forms in the described embodiments, the adjusting device or the adjusting part with the linear adjusting movement, by which the orientation of the reference surface can be changed.
- the change in the orientation or the position takes place in that the grub screw 32 is rotated, whereby it is linearly displaced along its longitudinal axis due to the thread pitch.
- the distance between the reference surface D and the format base 1 and the distance between the functional module III reaching the reference surface D can be changed.
- the invention has been described in particular with emphasis on the variable or adjustable reference surface, wherein the individual coupling of the individual functional modules I to VII are to be considered individually for themselves as independent inventions.
- the functional modules I to VII directly, as described with reference to the functional assemblies II and III, or indirectly by investing a rotatably connected to the respective function module pivoting part 3, as described by the functional assemblies I, V, VI, VII, are adjusted in the position to the format set.
- the trim set Due to the arrangement and adjustment of the reference surfaces A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H, the trim set is practically customized for the different products to be produced, without having to be structurally modified. It only need the format tops 11 and 12 and as far as the format reason 1 are replaced.
- the format set contains all the information about how the functional assemblies I to VII must be arranged to form the garniture, so that the product of each format to be produced corresponds to the desired quality requirements. As a result, the format change during a conversion of the machine can be carried out much faster and the resulting machine downtime can be reduced.

Durch die Formgebung der Rinne in Verlaufsrichtung des Formatbandes wird der Umhüllungsstreifen während der Transportbewegung an den Seiten des lose aufliegenden Stranges nach oben geschlagen. Ferner umfasst die Formatgarnitur ein oder mehrere Formatoberteile, welche derart geformt sind, dass sie die Rinne an der Oberseite in Verlaufsrichtung des Formatbandes mit einem ebenfalls abnehmenden Radius bis zu einem geschlossenen Kanal ergänzen, so dass der Umhüllungsstreifen während der weiteren Transportbewegung nach dem seitlichen Hochschlagen an der Oberseite weiter um den Strang herumgeschlagen wird. Vor dem vollständigen Herumschlagen des Umhüllungsstreifens um den Strang wird auf einen der Ränder des Umhüllungsstreifens eine Leimspur mittels einer Leimdüse aufgetragen, über die die Ränder des Umhüllungsstreifens anschließend zur Formfixierung des Stranges in einer Klebkammer miteinander verklebt werden. Nach dem Verkleben der Ränder werden diese zum Aushärten des Leims über eine Nahtheizung erwärmt. Das Formatband selbst wird am Eintritt und am Austritt der Formatgarnitur über Formatbandumlenkrollen umgelenkt, wobei der Umhüllungsstreifen und der Strang am Eingang der Formatgarnitur nach dem Umlenken des Formatbandes nacheinander aufgelegt werden und der formfixierte Strang am Ausgang der Formatgarnitur vor dem Umlenken des Formatbandes von dem Formatband abgeführt wird. An dem Ausgang der Formatgarnitur ist ein Schaber vorgesehen, welcher in einem Winkel und mit einem geringen Spalt auf das Formatband gerichtet ist und an dem Formatband anhaftende Tabakreste oder sonstige Partikel abstreift. Ferner ist ein zweiter Schaber vorgesehen, welcher auf die Formatbandumlenkrolle an dem Ausgang der Formatbandgarnitur gerichtet ist und dazu dient, vorhandene Rückstände von der Formatbandumlenkrolle zu entfernen. Außerdem ist an dem Ausgang der Formatgarnitur ein Strangabschläger vorgesehen, mit dem der Strang bedarfsweise aus dem vorgesehenen Transportweg, z.B. bei entdeckten Fehlern, herausgeführt und der Transport des Stranges in der Maschine unterbrochen werden kann. Damit die jeweiligen Funktionsbaugruppen, wie Leimdüse, Strangabschläger, Schaber, Nahtheizung und die Formatbandumlenkrollen, ihre jeweilige Funktion prozesssicher ausführen können und der formfixierte Strang anschließend den Qualitätsvorgaben entspricht, müssen diese in einer vorbestimmten Ausrichtung und Anordnung zu dem Strang und/oder zu den Teilen der Formatgarnitur angeordnet sein, welche sehr geringen Toleranzen unterliegen.The format set comprises a format base with at least one channel which, starting from a flat base, has a decreasing radius in the longitudinal direction, that is to say it recesses in the longitudinal direction of the format base. On the trough a driven format tape is guided, on which an endless strand of the product rests with a wrapping strip. Due to the shape of the channel in the direction of the format strip of the wrapping strip is struck during the transport movement on the sides of the loose strand lying up. Further, the garniture includes one or more format tops which are shaped to complement the trough at the top in the direction of travel of the format tape with a decreasing radius as far as a closed channel, so that the wrapper strip during the further transport movement after the lateral beating on the top is further beaten around the strand. Before the wrapping strip is completely wrapped around the strand, a glue line is applied to one of the edges of the wrapping strip by means of a glue nozzle, by means of which the edges of the wrapping strip are subsequently glued together in an adhesive chamber to fix the shape of the strand. After bonding the edges, they are heated to harden the glue via a seam heater. The format tape itself is deflected at the entrance and exit of the format garnish on format band deflection rollers, the wrapping strip and the strand are placed at the entrance of the Forming garniture after the deflection of the format strip successively and removed the form-fixed strand at the output of the Formiturnitur before deflecting the format strip of the format tape becomes. At the exit of the Formiturnitur a scraper is provided, which is directed at an angle and with a small gap on the format tape and strips on the format tape adhering tobacco residues or other particles. Further, a second scraper is provided, which is directed to the format band deflection roller at the exit of the format band set and serves to remove existing residues from the format band deflection roller. In addition, a Strangabschläger is provided at the output of the garniture, with which the strand as needed from the proposed transport path, for example, in discovered errors, led out and the transport of the strand can be interrupted in the machine. In order for the respective functional assemblies, such as glue nozzle, Streifabschläger, scraper, seam heating and the Formierungsbandumlenkrollen, their respective function can process reliably and the shape fixed strand then meets the quality requirements, they must in a predetermined orientation and arrangement to the strand and / or be arranged in the parts of the pattern set, which are subject to very small tolerances.
Für den Fall, dass mit der Maschine Produkte eines anderen Formates, insbesondere eines anderen Durchmessers, hergestellt werden sollen, muss die Formatgarnitur in Teilen oder insgesamt ausgetauscht werden (Formatwechsel), da die Geometrie des formfixierten Stranges und der davon anschließend abgetrennten Produkte durch die Geometrie der Rinne und der Kammer vorgegeben ist.If the machine is to produce products of a different format, in particular of a different diameter, the garniture must be replaced in parts or in total (format change) because the geometry of the form-fixed strand and the products subsequently separated by the geometry the gutter and the chamber is predetermined.
Nach dem Wechsel der Teile der Formatgarnitur müssen die oben genannten Funktionsbaugruppen zu den neuen Teilen der Formatgarnitur und/oder zu dem auf dem Formatband aufliegenden Strang anderen Formates neu ausgerichtet werden, was aufgrund der engen Toleranzen sehr aufwendig und zeitintensiv ist.After changing the parts of the garniture, the above function modules must be realigned to the new parts of the garniture and / or the rest of the format tape strand other format, which is very complex and time-consuming due to the tight tolerances.
Aus der
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Maschine der gattungsgemäßen Art bereitzustellen, welche einen einfacheren konstruktiven Aufbau aufweisen soll und bei der der Formatwechsel einfacher und insbesondere schneller durchgeführt werden kann.Against this background, the invention has the object to provide a machine of the generic type, which should have a simpler structural design and in the format change easier and faster in particular can be performed.
Erfindungsgemäß wird zur Lösung der Aufgabe eine Maschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vorgeschlagen. Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen, den Figuren und der zugehörigen Beschreibung zu entnehmen.According to the invention a machine with the features of
Gemäß dem Grundgedanken der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Ausrichtung und/oder die Anordnung der Referenzfläche veränderbar sind. Die Anordnung und Ausrichtung der jeweiligen Referenzfläche zu dem Strang oder dem Teil der Formatgarnitur ist dabei so gewählt, dass die Funktionsbaugruppe mit den entscheidenden Teilen gleich gemäß der vorbestimmten Ausrichtung und Anordnung positioniert ist. Die Codierung der Anordnung der Funktionsbaugruppe zu dem Teil der Formatgarnitur und/oder zu dem Strang ist damit durch die Anordnung und die Ausrichtung der Referenzfläche an dem Teil der Formatgarnitur verwirklicht, so dass die Funktionsbaugruppe praktisch durch die Anordnung an der Referenzfläche selbsttätig formatindividuell in ihrer vorbestimmten Ausrichtung und Anordnung zu dem Strang und/oder zu dem Formatteil positioniert wird. Die Funktionsbaugruppe muss damit nach der Anordnung an der Referenzfläche nicht mehr justiert werden, da die Information über die vorgegebene Anordnung und Ausrichtung der Funktionsbaugruppe zu dem Teil der Formatgarnitur oder zu dem Strang durch das Vorsehen der Referenzfläche in dem Teil der Formatgarnitur selbst enthalten ist. Insgesamt kann der Formatwechsel selbst durch die vorgeschlagene Lösung aufgrund der entfallenen Einstellung der Funktionsbaugruppe erheblich vereinfacht und insbesondere schneller vollzogen werden. Ferner kann die Referenzfläche in der Anordnung und Ausrichtung auch so gewählt werden, dass die Funktionsbaugruppe nur dann montiert und/oder die gesamte Maschine nur dann in Betrieb genommen werden kann, wenn die Funktionsbaugruppe an der Referenzfläche anliegt. Durch die Veränderung der Referenzfläche in ihrer Ausrichtung oder Anordnung kann die Positionierung der Funktionsbaugruppe vor der Anlage an der Referenzfläche zur Anpassung an Produkteigenschaften voreingestellt werden, wobei die Codierung der vorbestimmten Position der Funktionsbaugruppe immer noch in dem Formatteil selbst enthalten ist. Dies kann z.B. erforderlich sein, wenn ein Strang identischer Geometrie mit einer unterschiedlichen Tabaksorte hergestellt werden soll. In diesem Fall kann die andere Tabaksorte z.B. eine andere Ausrichtung der Nahtheizung oder der Leimspur erfordern. Die Formatgarnitur kann dadurch durch die Veränderung der Ausrichtung und/oder der Anordnung der Referenzflächen in der Anordnung und Ausrichtung der Funktionsbaugruppen individuell auf das jeweilige Formt der zu produzierenden Produkte eingestellt werden, wobei die Funktionsbaugruppen selbst bewusst nicht verändert oder eingestellt werden müssen. Vielmehr können identische Funktionsbaugruppen zur Herstellung von Produkten unterschiedlichen Formates verwendet werden, wodurch die Kosten für die Vorratshaltung der Funktionsbaugruppen und auch die Kosten und die Zeit zum Umrüsten der Maschine erheblich gesenkt werden können. So ist es z.B. auch möglich, bei einem Defekt einer Funktionsbaugruppe diese gegen eine Funktionsbaugruppe einer anderen Maschine auszutauschen, welche zu diesem Zeitpunkt aus irgendwelchen Gründen nicht betrieben wird.According to the basic concept of the invention, it is proposed that the orientation and / or the arrangement of the reference surface can be changed. The arrangement and orientation of the respective reference surface to the strand or the part of the pattern set is chosen so that the functional assembly is positioned with the crucial parts equal to the predetermined orientation and arrangement. The coding of the arrangement of the functional assembly to the part of the garniture and / or to the strand is thus realized by the arrangement and the orientation of the reference surface on the part of the garniture, so that the functional assembly automatically by the arrangement on the reference surface automatically formatindividuell in their predetermined Orientation and arrangement is positioned to the strand and / or to the format part. The functional assembly no longer needs to be adjusted after placement on the reference surface because the information about the predetermined placement and alignment of the functional assembly with the part of the trim assembly or strand is provided by the provision of the reference surface in the portion of the trim assembly itself. Overall, the format change itself considerably simplified by the proposed solution due to the discontinued adjustment of the function module and in particular be done faster. Furthermore, the reference surface in the arrangement and orientation can also be chosen so that the function module can only be mounted and / or the entire machine can only be put into operation when the function module is applied to the reference surface. By changing the reference surface in its orientation or arrangement, the positioning of the functional assembly prior to abutment with the reference surface may be preset to match product properties, with the coding of the predetermined position of the functional assembly still being included in the format part itself. This may be necessary, for example, if a strand of identical geometry is to be produced with a different type of tobacco. In this case, for example, the other type of tobacco may require a different orientation of the seam heating or the glue trace. As a result of the change in the orientation and / or the arrangement of the reference surfaces in the arrangement and orientation of the functional assemblies, the trim set can be set individually to the particular shape of the products to be produced, whereby the functional assemblies themselves need not be deliberately changed or adjusted. Rather, identical functional assemblies can be used to make products of different formats, which can significantly reduce the cost of stocking the functional assemblies as well as the cost and time to retool the machine. Thus, it is also possible, for example, to replace a functional module with a functional module of another machine, which is not operated at this time for any reason.
Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Funktionsbaugruppe mittels einer Verstelleinrichtung von der Anlage an der Referenzfläche in eine Formatwechselposition und umgekehrt bewegbar ist. Die Funktionsbaugruppe muss damit zu dem Formatwechsel nicht vollständig demontiert, sondern stattdessen nur in die Formatwechselposition bewegt werden, aus der sie mittels der Verstelleinrichtung durch die Anlage an der Referenzfläche des neuen Formatteiles gleich in die neue bestimmungsgemäße Position bewegt werden kann.It is further proposed that the functional module can be moved by means of an adjusting device from the system on the reference surface into a format change position and vice versa. The Functional assembly must therefore not completely dismantled to the format change, but instead be moved only in the format change position, from which it can be moved by means of the adjustment by the system on the reference surface of the new format part immediately in the new intended position.
Die Verstelleinrichtung kann ein ortsfestes Schwenklager umfassen, wobei die Bewegung der Funktionsbaugruppe von der Anlage an der Referenzfläche in die Formatwechselposition in diesem Fall besonders handhabungsfreundlich durch eine Schwenkbewegung um das ortsfeste Schwenklager verwirklicht ist. Die Funktionsbaugruppe muss damit nicht demontiert, sondern nur verschwenkt werden, was durch einfach auszuführende Handhabungsvorgänge vorgenommen werden kann.The adjusting device may comprise a stationary pivot bearing, wherein the movement of the functional assembly from the system to the reference surface in the format change position in this case is realized particularly handling friendly by a pivoting movement about the fixed pivot bearing. The functional assembly does not need to be disassembled, but only pivoted, which can be done by easy-to-carry out handling operations.
Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, dass an der Formatgarnitur wenigstens zwei in einer definierten Anordnung und Ausrichtung zueinander angeordnete Referenzflächen vorgesehen sind. Der Vorteil dieser Weiterentwicklung ist darin zu sehen, dass die Funktionsbaugruppen dadurch auch zueinander in einer vorbestimmten Position ausgerichtet sind, was insbesondere dann von Vorteil ist, wenn die Lage der Funktionsbaugruppen zueinander für deren Funktion von besonderer Bedeutung ist. Dies ist z.B. bei der Anordnung der Nahtheizung zu der Leimdüse und bei der relativen Anordnung der Formatbandumlenkrollen an der Eintrittsseite und an der Austrittsseite von besonderer Bedeutung.It is further proposed that at least two reference surfaces arranged in a defined arrangement and orientation relative to each other are provided on the pattern set. The advantage of this further development is the fact that the functional assemblies are thereby aligned with each other in a predetermined position, which is particularly advantageous if the position of the functional modules to each other for their function is of particular importance. This is e.g. in the arrangement of the seam heating to the glue nozzle and in the relative arrangement of the format band deflection rollers on the inlet side and on the outlet side of particular importance.
Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Funktionsbaugruppe in Richtung der Anlage an der Referenzfläche federbelastet ist. Die Funktionsbaugruppe schwenkt dadurch selbsttätig in die vorbestimmte Position, wobei je nach den wirkenden Federkräften bedarfsweise zusätzlich noch eine Befestigung in der Sollposition vorgesehen sein kann. Ferner kann durch die Federbelastung der Funktionsbaugruppe sichergestellt werden, dass die Funktionsbaugruppe immer an der Referenzfläche anliegt und gegen die wirkende Federkraft verstellt oder in die Formatwechselposition verschwenkt werden muss.It is further proposed that the function module is spring-loaded in the direction of the system on the reference surface. The function module thereby pivots automatically in the predetermined position, depending on the spring forces acting If necessary, additionally a fastening in the desired position can be provided. Furthermore, it can be ensured by the spring load of the function module that the function module always rests against the reference surface and adjusted against the acting spring force or must be pivoted to the format change position.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass wenigstens eine erste Funktionsbaugruppe eine Referenzfläche aufweist, welche derart ausgerichtet und angeordnet ist, dass eine zweite Funktionsbaugruppe durch Anlage an der Referenzfläche der ersten Funktionsbaugruppe in einer vorbestimmten Ausrichtung und Anordnung zu der Formatgarnitur und/oder dem Strang positioniert ist. Durch die zweite Referenzfläche wird praktisch ein Kettenbezugssystem geschaffen, welches anfangend mit der ersten Referenzfläche die Anordnung weiterer Funktionsbaugruppen ebenfalls in einer vorbestimmten Ausrichtung zu dem Strang und/oder den Formatteilen ermöglicht.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that at least one first functional assembly has a reference surface which is aligned and arranged such that a second functional assembly by abutment with the reference surface of the first functional assembly in a predetermined orientation and arrangement to the Form Garnitur and / or is positioned in the strand. The second reference surface practically creates a chain reference system which, starting with the first reference surface, also makes it possible to arrange further functional assemblies in a predetermined alignment with the strand and / or the format parts.
Dabei können die Ausrichtung und/oder die Anordnung der Referenzfläche konstruktiv besonders einfach durch eine Justiereinrichtung veränderbar sein, wobei die Justiereinrichtung besonders bevorzugt durch ein Stellteil mit einer linearen Stellbewegung gebildet sein kann.In this case, the orientation and / or the arrangement of the reference surface can be structurally particularly easily changed by an adjusting device, wherein the adjusting device can be formed by a control part with a linear adjusting movement particularly preferred.
Durch die Veränderung der Anordnung und/oder Ausrichtung der Referenzfläche durch die Justiereinrichtung kann die Ausrichtung und/oder Anordnung der Funktionsbaugruppe eingestellt werden, wobei die Einstellung bei einer entsprechenden Zugänglichkeit der Justiereinrichtung auch bei bereits an der Formatgarnitur angeordneter Funktionsbaugruppe erfolgen kann, so dass die eingestellte Ausrichtung und/oder Anordnung der Funktionsbaugruppe zu der Formatgarnitur unmittelbar überprüft und erforderlichenfalls nachjustiert werden kann. Die Konstruktion kann dadurch insgesamt erheblich vereinfacht werden, da die Funktionsbaugruppe und ihre Halterung zur Veränderung der Ausrichtung und/oder Anordnung nicht verändert werden muss, und die Funktionsbaugruppe insbesondere keinerlei Einstelleinrichtung aufzuweisen braucht. Ferner weist die Referenzfläche durch die Anordnung an der Formatgarnitur eine unmittelbare Lagebeziehung zu dem in dem Format geführten Strang und dem zu beleimenden Umhüllungsstreifen auf, so dass z.B. die Anordnung und/oder Ausrichtung der Leimdüse durch die vorgeschlagene Verstellung der Referenzfläche an der Formatgarnitur mit einer sehr geringen Toleranzkette bzw. mit einer sehr hohen Genauigkeit zu dem Strang und dem Umhüllungsstreifen verstellt werden kann.By changing the arrangement and / or orientation of the reference surface by the adjusting device, the alignment and / or arrangement of the function assembly can be adjusted, the adjustment can also be made with already arranged on the format set function module with a corresponding accessibility of the adjusting device, so that the set Alignment and / or arrangement of the function module can be checked immediately to the style set and readjusted if necessary. The construction can be considerably simplified as a whole, since the functional assembly and its holder for changing the orientation and / or arrangement need not be changed, and in particular the functional assembly need not have any adjustment. Furthermore, the reference surface has an immediate positional relationship with the strand guided in the format and the wrapping strip to be glued, so that, for example, the arrangement and / or orientation of the glue nozzle by the proposed adjustment of the reference surface on the garniture with a very small tolerance chain or can be adjusted with a very high accuracy to the strand and the wrapping strip.
Dabei kann eine sehr hohe Einstellgenauigkeit dadurch erzielt werden, indem die Justiereinrichtung durch ein Stellteil mit einer linearen Stellbewegung gebildet ist, da die Ausrichtung und/oder Anordnung dadurch proportional zu der Stellbewegung ist und sich dadurch z.B. manuell besonders einfach einstellen lässt. Ein derartiges Stellteil kann z.B. eine Madenschraube oder eine Exzenterschraube sein.In this case, a very high setting accuracy can be achieved by the adjusting device is formed by a setting part with a linear adjusting movement, since the orientation and / or arrangement is thereby proportional to the adjusting movement and thereby characterized. manually set particularly easy. Such an actuator can e.g. a grub screw or an eccentric screw.
In diesem Fall ist es besonders bevorzugt, wenn das Stellteil mittels einer Feststelleinrichtung festlegbar ist. Durch die Feststelleinrichtung kann das Stellteil nach dem Verändern der Position der Referenzfläche durch die Feststelleinrichtung festgelegt werden, so dass sich die Position der Referenzfläche anschließend z.B. während des Betriebes der Maschine nicht ungewollt verändern kann.In this case, it is particularly preferred if the actuating part can be fixed by means of a locking device. By the locking device, the control part can be determined by changing the position of the reference surface by the locking device, so that the position of the reference surface then, for example during operation of the machine can not change unintentionally.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Justiereinrichtung ein Schwenkteil umfasst, welches in einem ortsfesten Schwenklager gelagert ist, und das Schwenkteil mit einem Anschlag an dem Stellteil anliegt, und die Bewegung des Stellteils über das Schwenkteil auf die Funktionsbaugruppe übertragbar ist. Durch das Schwenkteil kann die Einstellbewegung der Referenzfläche auf eine entferntere Anlagefläche der Funktionsbaugruppe übertragen werden. Außerdem kann die Justierbewegung unter- oder übersetzt werden.It is also proposed that the adjusting device comprises a pivoting part which is mounted in a stationary pivot bearing, and the pivoting part abuts with a stop on the actuating part, and the movement of the actuating part via the pivoting part to the functional assembly is transferable. By the pivoting part, the adjustment movement of the reference surface can be transferred to a more distant contact surface of the function module. In addition, the adjustment movement can be sub-translated or translated.
Ferner kann die Funktionsbaugruppe auch unter Ausnutzung der von dem Formatband ausgeübten Zug- oder Druckkräfte gegen die Referenzfläche gedrängt werden. Dies ist insbesondere bei der Funktionsbaugruppe I des Formatbandauslaufs sinnvoll, da das Formatband hier durch die Führung nach unten bei einer Anordnung des Schwenklagers an der der Formatgarnitur zugewandten Seite der Formatbandumlenkrolle ein Moment auf die Funktionsbaugruppe I ausübt, welches die Funktionsbaugruppe I mit dem Schwenkteil gegen die Unterseite der Formatgarnitur drängt.Furthermore, the function module can also be forced against the reference surface by utilizing the tensile or compressive forces exerted by the format band. This is particularly useful in the function module I of the format tape outlet, since the format tape exerts a moment on the functional assembly I by the guide down at an arrangement of the pivot bearing on the side facing the format set side of the format band deflection, which the functional assembly I with the pivoting part against the Bottom of the format set urges.

Die Verwendung des Adapterstückes 30 ist insofern sinnvoll, da eine Bearbeitung der Formatoberteile 11 und 12 zur Bildung von Referenzflächen sehr aufwendig wäre und außerdem an jedem der ausgewechselten Formatteile 11 oder 12 entsprechende Referenzflächen vorgesehen werden müssten. Durch die vorgeschlagene Lösung können die Formatteile 11 oder 12 gewechselt werden, und die Referenzflächen B und C durch die Befestigung desselben Adapterstückes 30 an der Formatgarnitur vorgesehen werden. Dabei ist es besonders wichtig, dass das Adapterstück 30 nicht Teil der Funktionsbaugruppe II mit der Leimdüse 13 ist, damit verschiedene Funktionsbaugruppen II bzw. Funktionsbaugruppen II mit verschiedenen Leimdüsen 13 unter Verwendung eines einzigen Adapterstückes 30 an der Formatgarnitur positioniert werden können.The use of the

Die Erfindung wurde insbesondere unter Hervorhebung der veränderbaren bzw. einstellbaren Referenzfläche beschrieben, wobei die individuelle Ankopplung der einzelnen Funktionsbaugruppen I bis VII individuell für sich auch als eigenständige Erfindungen anzusehen sind. Dabei können die Funktionsbaugruppen I bis VII unmittelbar, wie anhand der Funktionsbaugruppen II und III beschrieben, oder mittelbar durch Anlage eines drehfest mit der jeweiligen Funktionsbaugruppe verbundenen Schwenkteils 3, wie anhand der Funktionsbaugruppen I, V, VI, VII beschrieben, in der Position zu der Formatgarnitur verstellt werden.The invention has been described in particular with emphasis on the variable or adjustable reference surface, wherein the individual coupling of the individual functional modules I to VII are to be considered individually for themselves as independent inventions. In this case, the functional modules I to VII directly, as described with reference to the functional assemblies II and III, or indirectly by investing a rotatably connected to the respective function
Die Formatgarnitur wird durch die Anordnung und Einstellung der Referenzflächen A, B, C, D, E, F, G und H praktisch für die jeweils zu produzierenden Produkte unterschiedlichen Formats individualisiert, ohne dass sie dazu baulich verändert werden muss. Es müssen lediglich die Formatoberteile 11 und 12 und soweit erforderlich der Formatgrund 1 ausgetauscht werden. Die Formatgarnitur enthält durch die eingestellten Referenzflächen A bis H alle Informationen darüber, wie die Funktionsbaugruppen I bis VII zu der Formatgarnitur angeordnet sein müssen, damit das jeweils zu produzierende Produkt des jeweiligen Formats den gewünschten Qualitätsanforderungen entspricht. Dadurch kann der Formatwechsel bei einer Umrüstung der Maschine erheblich schneller durchgeführt und die dadurch bedingte Maschinenstillstandszeit verringert werden.Due to the arrangement and adjustment of the reference surfaces A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H, the trim set is practically customized for the different products to be produced, without having to be structurally modified. It only need the format tops 11 and 12 and as far as the
