- a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at the free end of the support lever to compensate for the pivotal movement of the pivot lever rollers for the vertical rolling of the pivot mechanism along the Countertop are arranged. This makes it possible in a particularly simple way to compensate for vertical movements.
- a further expedient embodiment is characterized in that, in addition to the pivoting lever and the supporting lever, the pivoting mechanism comprises at least one additional weight, which is preferably fastened releasably to the pivoting mechanism.
- the additional weight By the additional weight, a further or higher horizontally acting pressure force can be applied to the counter-holding plate, which improves the separation quality and precision.
- the solubility and thus interchangeability allows adjusting or adjusting the pressure force.
- the pivot mechanism is arranged on the gantry support relative to this vertically adjustable.

The feed element is designed to transport the bale in the transport direction T and determines the slit thickness to be cut by the selected feed. The slices are separated from the bale by the separating knife. On the one hand to keep the slice to be cut during the separation process and on the other hand to release the cut slice, both the cutting table and the counter-holding plate are movable. During cutting / cutting, the slice to be cut lies on the cutting table. The counter-holding plate abuts against the front side of the bale or the disc to be cut off and presses the disc against the bale.
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt demnach die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine konstruktiv vereinfachte Vorrichtung zum Trennen von Scheiben von einem Ballen zu schaffen.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a structurally simplified device for separating slices of a bale.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen dadurch gelöst, dass die Gegenhalteplatte antriebslos ausgebildet und gewichtsbelastet passiv entlang horizontal gerichteter Linearführungen in und entgegen der Transportrichtung T bewegbar ist. Durch den Wegfall eines Antriebs für die Gegenhalteplatte ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung gegenüber herkömmlichen Vorrichtungen konstruktiv einfacher aufgebaut. Entsprechend kann auch auf eine eigene Steuerung für die Gegenhalteplatte bzw. die Anbindung an eine Steuerung der Vorrichtung verzichtet werden, was den Aufbau der Vorrichtung zusätzlich vereinfacht. Mit der gewichtsbelasteten, passiven Bewegbarkeit der Gegenhalteplatte wird ein indirektes Verschieben der Gegenhalteplatte beschrieben, indem rein mechanische Komponenten alleine durch ihre Gewichtsbelastung eine Bewegung der Gegenhalteplatte entgegen der Transportrichtung T gewährleisten.This object is achieved by a device having the features mentioned in the fact that the counter-holding plate is designed without drive and weight-loaded passively along horizontally oriented linear guides in and against the transport direction T is movable. By eliminating a drive for the counter-holding plate device according to the invention over conventional devices structurally simpler structure. Accordingly, a separate control for the counter-holding plate or the connection to a control of the device can be dispensed with, which additionally simplifies the construction of the device. With the weight-loaded, passive mobility of the counter-holding plate, an indirect displacement of the counter-holding plate is described by purely mechanical components alone ensure their weight load movement of the counter-holding plate against the transport direction T.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der Schneidtisch entlang horizontal gerichteter Linearführungen parallel zur Gegenhalteplatte aktiv aus einer geöffneten Freigabestellung in eine geschlossene Schneidstellung, in der zwischen dem Zuführelement und dem Schneidtisch ein Spalt zum Durchtritt des Trennmessers gebildet ist, und umgekehrt verfahrbar ist, und der Gegenhalteplatte zum Bewegen entgegen der Transportrichtung T ein gewichtsbelasteter Schwenkmechanismus zugeordnet ist, der permanent an der Gegenhalteplatte anliegt und eine Druckkraft F auf die Gegenhalteplatte ausübt, die der Transportrichtung T entgegenwirkt, und die Gegenhalteplatte zum Bewegen in Transportrichtung T mit dem angetriebenen Schneidtisch mittels eines Anschlag- und Mitnehmermittels in Wirkverbindung bringbar ist. Mit dem Schwenkmechanismus ist eine besonders einfache und kompakte Lösung realisiert, um die Gegenhalteplatte allein durch das Eigengewicht des Schwenkmechanismus permanent entgegen der Transportrichtung T mit einer Druckkraft F zu beaufschlagen, um die Gegenhalteplatte in Richtung des zu bearbeitenden Ballens zu bewegen und gegen den Ballen bzw. die vom Ballen zu schneidende Scheibe zu drücken. Dadurch, dass die Gegenhalteplatte durch den Schwenkmechanismus stets in der maximal möglichen Frontposition gehalten ist, existieren keine Wartezeiten/Reaktionszeiten bei der Ansteuerung der Gegenhalteplatte, so dass die Leistungsfähigkeit der Vorrichtung erhöht werden kann. Für die Bewegung der Gegenhalteplatte in Transportrichtung T zum Zurückziehen der Gegenhalteplatte kann der Antrieb des Schneidtisches verwendet werden, indem die Antriebsbewegung des Schneidtisches mittels des Anschlag- und Mitnehmermittels auf die Gegenhalteplatte übertragbar ist. Der konstruktive und steuerungstechnische Aufwand kann somit reduziert werden.A particularly preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the cutting table along horizontally oriented linear guides parallel to the counter-holding plate active from an open release position into a closed cutting position in which a gap between the feed element and the cutting table for the passage of the separating knife is formed, and vice versa is movable, and the counter-holding plate for moving against the transport direction T a weight-bearing pivot mechanism is assigned, which bears permanently against the counter-holding plate and exerts a compressive force F on the counter-holding plate, which counteracts the transport direction T, and the counter-holding plate for moving in the transport direction T with the driven cutting table by means of a stop and catch means is operatively engageable. With the pivot mechanism, a particularly simple and compact solution is realized to permanently apply the counter-plate alone by the weight of the pivot mechanism against the transport direction T with a compressive force F to move the counter-holding plate in the direction of the bale to be processed and against the bale or to push the disc to be cut by the bale. Due to the fact that the counter-holding plate is always held in the maximum possible front position by the pivot mechanism, there are no waiting times / reaction times in the activation of the counter-holding plate, so that the performance of the device can be increased. For the movement of the counter-holding plate in the transport direction T for retracting the counter-holding plate, the drive of the cutting table can be used by the drive movement of the cutting table by means of the stop and entrainment means is transferable to the counter-holding plate. The design and control engineering effort can thus be reduced.
Vorteilhafterweise ist dem Schneidtisch ein kombiniertes Anschlag- und Mitnehmermittel zugeordnet, mittels dem die Gegenhalteplatte und der Schneidtisch in Wirkverbindung bringbar sind, derart, dass der Schneidtisch bzw. das Anschlag- und Mitnehmermittel einerseits die Bewegung der Gegenhalteplatte entgegen der Transportrichtung T begrenzen und andererseits eine Bewegung der Gegenhalteplatte in Transportrichtung T bewirken kann. Durch diese enge Wirkbeziehung zwischen Schneidtisch und Gegenhalteplatte wird die Gegenhalteplatte über den Schneidtisch quasi zwangsgesteuert stets in der optimalen Position/Lage gehalten.Advantageously, the cutting table is associated with a combined stop and entrainment means, by means of which the counter-holding plate and the cutting table can be brought into operative connection, such that the cutting table or the stop and entrainment on the one hand limit the movement of the counter-holding plate against the transport direction T and on the other hand, a movement the counter-holding plate in the transport direction T can effect. Due to this close operative relationship between the cutting table and the counter-holding plate, the counter-holding plate is virtually always forcibly controlled via the cutting table in the optimum position / position.
Eine zweckmäßige Weiterbildung der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die lineare Bewegbarkeit der Gegenhalteplatte entgegen der Transportrichtung T in einer Position unmittelbar vor dem Trennmesser und in Transportrichtung T jeweils durch ein unabhängig vom Schneidtisch wirkendes, zusätzliches Anschlagelement begrenzbar ist. Diese mechanischen Komponenten ermöglichen ein einfaches Freigeben und/oder Begrenzen der Bewegbarkeit der Gegenhalteplatte frei von steuerungstechnischen Problemen. Anders ausgedrückt werden Steuer- und Abstimmungsaktivitäten zwischen Schneidtisch und Gegenhalteplatte durch die Anschlagselemente auf besonders einfache Weise ausgeführt.An expedient development of the invention is characterized in that the linear mobility of the counter-holding plate counter to the transport direction T in a position immediately before the cutting knife and in the transport direction T is limited by an independent of the cutting table acting, additional stop element. These mechanical components allow easy release and / or limiting the mobility of the counter-plate free of control problems. In other words, tax and reconciliation activities are between Cutting table and counter plate performed by the stop elements in a particularly simple manner.
Besonders bevorzugt ist der Schwenkmechanismus an einem Portalträger, an dem auch das Trennmesser vertikal auf und ab bewegbar angeordnet ist, schwenkbar um einen Achse I gelagert. Ein solches Schneidportal führt zu einem kompakten und modularen Aufbau der Vorrichtung, was insbesondere den Austausch von Komponenten erleichtert. Weiterhin gewährleistet die stabile Konstruktion eines Schneidportals die Präzision der Trennschnitte.Particularly preferably, the pivoting mechanism is pivotally mounted about an axis I on a portal carrier on which the separating knife is also arranged to be movable vertically up and down. Such a cutting portal leads to a compact and modular construction of the device, which in particular facilitates the replacement of components. Furthermore, the stable construction of a cutting portal ensures the precision of the cuts.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Achse I quer zur Transportrichtung T ausgerichtet und weist einen Abstand zum Schneidtisch auf, der größer ist als die Höhe des zu schneidenden Ballens. Durch die Schwenkachse I und deren Position/Lage wird erreicht, dass die Haltekräfte der Gegenhalteplatte mit zunehmender Dicke der Scheiben steigen. Anders ausgedrückt erhöht sich mit durch den in Transportrichtung T vorgeschobenen Ballen ausgelöster, zunehmender Auslenkung des Schwenkmechanismus die entgegen der Transportrichtung T weisende horizontale Komponente der Halte- bzw. Druckkraft F. Dadurch werden Scheiben größerer Dicke und entsprechend mit einem höheren Gewicht zwangsläufig mit einer größeren Kraft gehalten, was die Präzision des Trennvorgangs erhöht.Advantageously, the axis I is aligned transversely to the transport direction T and has a distance from the cutting table which is greater than the height of the bale to be cut. By the pivot axis I and its position / location is achieved that the holding forces of the counter-holding plate increase with increasing thickness of the discs. In other words, increasing the deflection of the pivot mechanism triggered by the bale advancing in the transporting direction T increases the horizontal component of the holding force F facing the transporting direction T. Thus, slices of larger thickness and correspondingly of a higher weight are inevitably loaded with a larger force held, which increases the precision of the separation process.
Die Erfindung ist in einer weiteren Ausgestaltung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Schwenkmechanismus einen Schwenkhebel und einen fest mit diesem verbundenen Stützhebel, der etwa in einem rechten Winkel α zum Schwenkhebel ausgerichtet ist, umfasst. Durch diese Ausbildung des Schwenkmechanismus wird erreicht, dass der Schwenkmechanismus stets mit einer ausreichend hohen Kraft gegen die Gegenhalteplatte drückt.The invention is characterized in a further embodiment, characterized in that the pivoting mechanism comprises a pivot lever and a support arm fixedly connected thereto, which is aligned at approximately a right angle α to the pivot lever. This design of the pivot mechanism ensures that the pivot mechanism always presses against the counter-holding plate with a sufficiently high force.
Voreilhafterweise ist der Schwenkhebel drehbar an einer Querstrebe des Portalträgers gelagert und der Stützhebel liegt mit seinem freien Ende lose an der Gegenhalteplatte an. Dadurch wird zum einen eine kompakte Bauweise ermöglicht. Zum anderen wird die einfache Anpassung an unterschiedliche Schwenkpositionen realisiert.Voreilhafterweise the pivot lever is rotatably mounted on a transverse strut of the gantry and the support lever is located with its free end loosely against the counter-holding plate. This allows for a compact design. On the other hand, the simple adaptation to different pivot positions is realized.
Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass am freien Ende des Stützhebels zum Ausgleich der Schwenkbewegung des Schwenkhebels Rollen zum vertikalen Abrollen des Schwenkmechanismus entlang der Gegenhalteplatte angeordnet sind. Dies ermöglicht auf besonders einfache Weise das Ausgleichen vertikaler Bewegungen.A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that at the free end of the support lever to compensate for the pivotal movement of the pivot lever rollers for the vertical rolling of the pivot mechanism along the Countertop are arranged. This makes it possible in a particularly simple way to compensate for vertical movements.
Eine weitere zweckmäßige Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Schwenkmechanismus zusätzlich zum Schwenkhebel und Stützhebel mindestens ein Zusatzgewicht umfasst, das vorzugsweise lösbar am Schwenkmechanismus befestigt ist. Durch das Zusatzgewicht kann eine weitere bzw. höhere horizontal wirkende Druckkraft auf die Gegenhalteplatte aufgebracht werden, was die Trennqualität und-präzision verbessert. Die Lösbarkeit und damit Austauschbarkeit ermöglicht das Einstellen bzw. Anpassen der Druckkraft.A further expedient embodiment is characterized in that, in addition to the pivoting lever and the supporting lever, the pivoting mechanism comprises at least one additional weight, which is preferably fastened releasably to the pivoting mechanism. By the additional weight, a further or higher horizontally acting pressure force can be applied to the counter-holding plate, which improves the separation quality and precision. The solubility and thus interchangeability allows adjusting or adjusting the pressure force.
Vorzugsweise ist der Schwenkmechanismus am Portalträger relativ zu diesem vertikal verstellbar angeordnet. Dadurch ist der Winkel β veränderbar. Da die Größe des Winkels β unmittelbar Einfluss auf die Größe der Druckkraft hat, kann damit eine individuelle Einstellung/Anpassung erfolgen.Preferably, the pivot mechanism is arranged on the gantry support relative to this vertically adjustable. As a result, the angle β is changeable. Since the size of the angle β has an immediate influence on the magnitude of the compressive force, an individual adjustment can thus be made.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Vorrichtung dient zum Trennen bzw. Schneiden von Scheiben von einem Tabakballen. Die Erfindung betrifft jedoch in gleicher Weise eine Vorrichtung zum Trennen von Scheiben von einem Ballen, der aus anderen in der Tabak verarbeitenden Industrie verwendeten Materialien oder Materialmischungen besteht.The device shown in the drawing is used for separating or cutting of slices of a tobacco bale. However, the invention equally relates to a device for separating slices from a bale made of other materials or blends of materials used in the tobacco processing industry.

Diese Vorrichtung 10 zeichnet sich erfindungsgemäß dadurch aus, dass die Gegenhalteplatte 16 antriebslos ausgebildet und passiv entlang horizontal gerichteter Linearführungen 20, 21 in und entgegen der Transportrichtung T bewegbar ist. Anders ausgedrückt ist die Gegenhalteplatte 16 entlang ihrer Linearführungen 20, 21 grundsätzlich frei hin und her schieb,- drück- oder ziehbar. Das bedeutet, dass die Gegenhalteplatte 16 passiv bzw. indirekt bewegbar ist. Die gezielten bzw. gerichteten Bewegungen der Gegenhalteplatte 16 in und entgegen der Transportrichtung T hängen ausschließlich von mechanischen, antriebs(-motor)freien Komponenten und/oder Antriebsmitteln anderer Komponenten ab, indem die Antriebsmittel der anderen Komponenten - zur Reduzierung der Anzahl von Antriebsmitteln der Vorrichtung 10 insgesamt - mindestens teilweise eine Doppelfunktion übernehmen.This
Die im Folgenden beschriebenen Merkmale und Weiterbildungen stellen für sich betrachtet oder in Kombination miteinander bevorzugte Ausführungsformen dar. Es wird ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass Merkmale, die in den Ansprüchen und/oder der Beschreibung zusammengefasst oder in einer gemeinsamen Ausführungsform beschrieben sind, auch funktional eigenständig die weiter oben beschriebene Vorrichtung 10 weiterbilden können.The features and developments described below represent individually or in combination with each other preferred embodiments. It is expressly understood that features that are summarized in the claims and / or the description or described in a common embodiment, also functionally independent the can further develop
Das Zuführelement 13 kann ein einfacher Tisch mit einer Anordnung zum Transportieren des Tabakballens 12 sein. Optional kann das Zuführelement 13 auch ein Förderelement, Förderband oder dergleichen sein. Die konstruktive Ausgestaltung ist variabel. Entscheidend ist die Ausbildung zum gesteuerten und vorzugsweise getakteten Zuführen des Tabakballens 12 in Transportrichtung T. Mittels Wegmesssystemen kann der Vorschub ermittelt und über geeignete Steuerungsmittel gesteuert werden, um beispielsweise Scheiben 11 unterschiedlicher Dicke schneiden zu können.The
Das Trennmesser 14 ist vorzugsweise ein guillotinenartiges Messer, das vertikal von oben nach unten und zurück, und senkrecht zur Transportrichtung T beispielsweise mittels eines Kettenantriebs oder dergleichen, bewegbar an einem Portalträger 22 ausgebildet ist. Der Portalträger 22 kann beispielsweise zwei Vertikalstützen 23, 24 sowie eine Querstütze 25 umfassen. Der Portalträger 22 bildet zusammen mit dem Trennmesser 14, dem Schneidtisch 15 und der Gegenhalteplatte 16 vorzugsweise ein Schneidportal 26. Das Trennmesser 14 kann aber auch als oszillierendes Bandmesser oder Schwenkmesser ausgebildet sein. Das Trennmesser 14 kann des Weiteren auch seitlich bewegbar ausgebildet sein, derart, dass die Scheiben 11 quer zur Transportrichtung T des Tabakballens 12 getrennt werden können. Anstelle des Portalträgers 22 können auch andere Rahmengestellt, Gehäusewände oder dergleichen zur Aufnahme bzw. Lagerung des Trennmessers 14 und anderer Komponenten eingesetzt werden.The separating
Vorzugsweise ist der Schneidtisch 15 entlang horizontal gerichteter Linearführungen 27, 28 parallel zur Gegenhalteplatte 16 aktiv aus einer geöffneten Freigabestellung (siehe z.B.
Dieses kombinierte Anschlag- und Mitnehmermittel 31 ist vorzugsweise dem Schneidtisch 15 zugeordnet. Mit diesem Anschlag- und Mitnehmermittel 31 sind der Schneidtisch 15 und die Gegenhalteplatte 16 in Wirkverbindung bringbar, derart, dass der Schneidtisch 15 bzw. das Anschlag- und Mitnehmermittel 31 einerseits die Bewegung der Gegenhalteplatte 16 entgegen der Transportrichtung T begrenzen und andererseits eine Bewegung der Gegenhalteplatte 16 in Transportrichtung T bewirken kann. Anders ausgedrückt hält der Schneidtisch 15 die Gegenhalteplatte 16, die grundsätzlich durch den auf die Gegenhalteplatte 16 wirkenden Schwenkmechanismus 30 den Drang hat, entgegen der Transportrichtung Z in die maximale Frontposition bewegt zu werden, in bestimmten Positionen über das Anschlag- und Mitnehmermittel 31 fest (siehe z.B.
Die lineare Bewegbarkeit der Gegenhalteplatte 16 entgegen der Transportrichtung T ist in einer Position unmittelbar vor dem Trennmesser 14 und in Transportrichtung T jeweils durch ein unabhängig vom Schneidtisch 15 wirkendes, zusätzliches Anschlagelement 32, 33 begrenzbar. Beim Bewegen des Schneidtisches 15 in die Schneidposition (siehe z.B.
Der Schwenkmechanismus 30 ist an dem Portalträger 22 angeordnet, an dem auch das Trennmesser 14 vertikal auf und ab bewegbar angeordnet ist. Der Schwenkmechanismus 30 ist um eine Achse I schwenkbar, und zwar vorzugsweise zwischen den beiden Vertikalstützen 23, 24 des Portalträgers 22. Die Achse I ist quer zur Transportrichtung T ausgerichtet und weist einen Abstand zum Schneidtisch 15 auf, der größer als die Höhe des zu schneidenden Tabakballens 12 ist. Der Schwenkmechanismus 30 umfasst einen Schwenkhebel 34 und einen fest mit diesem verbundenen Stützhebel 35, der in der gezeigten Ausführungsform etwa in einem rechten Winkel α zum Schwenkhebel 34 ausgerichtet ist. Allerdings kann der Winkel a zwischen dem Schwenkhebel 34 und dem Stützhebel 35 auch größer oder kleiner ausgebildet sein. Schwenkhebel 34 und Stützhebel 35 bilden bevorzugt eine starre Einheit. Der Schwenkhebel 34 kann drehbar an bzw. auf einer Querstrebe 36 des Portalträgers 22 gelagert sein. Optional kann der Schwenkhebel 34 auch fest mit der Querstrebe 36 verbunden sein, die ihrerseits drehbar am Portalträger 22 gelagert ist. Der Stützhebel 35 liegt mit seinem freien Ende 37 lose an der Gegenhalteplatte 16 an. Dadurch, dass der Schwenkmechanismus 30 um die Achse I schwenkbar ist, ist das freie Ende 37 des Stützhebels 35 bei jeder Auslenkung einer vertikalen Bewegungskomponente ausgesetzt. Diese gilt es auszugleichen, indem der Stützhebel 35 relativ zur Gegenhalteplatte 16 bewegbar ist. Besonders bevorzugt sind am freien Ende 37 des Stützhebels 35 zum Ausgleich der Schwenkbewegung des Schwenkhebels 34 Rollen 38 zum vertikalen Abrollen des Schwenkmechanismus 30 entlang der Gegenhalteplatte 16 angeordnet. Anstelle der Rollen 38 können jedoch auch Gleitstücke oder andere eine Relativbewegung zulassende oder unterstützende Komponenten eingesetzt werden. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass die Gegenhalteplatte 16 auf der dem Tabakballen 12 abgewandten Seite Linearführungen z.B. in Form von Nuten aufweist, in denen Gleitschuhe oder dergleichen zwangsgeführt auf und ab gleiten können.The
Der Schwenkmechanismus 30 ist ein Gestell, das mittels seines Eigengewichts und durch die Hebelgeometrie von Schwenkhebel 34 und Stützhebel 35 die Druckkraft F auf die Gegenhalteplatte 16 aufbringt. Der Schwenkhebel 34 kann z.B. eine Platte sein. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst der Schwenkhebel 34 zwei beanstandet zueinander angeordnete und parallel verlaufende Streben 39, 40, die mit einer Querstrebe 41 miteinander verbunden sind. Der Stützhebel 35 kann ebenfalls eine Platte sein, umfasst bevorzugt jedoch ebenfalls zwei Streben 42, 43, die sich in dem zuvor beschriebenen Winkel α jeweils an eine der Streben 39, 40 anschließen. Um eine höhere Druckkraft F auf die Gegenhalteplatte 16 aufbringen zu können, kann der Schwenkmechanismus 30 zusätzlich zum Schwenkhebel 34 und Stützhebel 35 bzw. zu deren Eigengewicht mindestens ein Zusatzgewicht 44 umfassen. Das Zusatzgewicht 44 ist bevorzugt an der Querstrebe 41 befestigt. Das Zusatzgewicht 44 kann aber an jeder Position des Schwenkmechanismus 30 angeordnet sein. Besonders bevorzugt ist das Zusatzgewicht 44 lösbar und damit austauschbar am Schwenkmechanismus 30 befestigt. Der horizontale Abstand zwischen der Achse I und dem Zusatzgewicht 44 ist der maßgebliche Abstand für die Größe der Druckkraft F.The
Der Schwenkmechanismus 30 ist in der dargestellten Ausführungsform ortsfest am Portalträger 22 angeordnet. In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung kann der Schwenkmechanismus 30 am Portalträger 22 aber auch relativ zu diesem vertikal verstellbar angeordnet sein, beispielsweise in Linearführungen entlang der Vertikalstützen 23, 24. In weiteren bevorzugten Weiterbildungen der Erfindung können die weiter oben beschriebenen Anschlagelemente 32, 33 fest oder verstellbar ausgebildet sein. Die Anschlagelemente können z.B. aus einer Freigabeposition in die Anschlagposition und zurück bewegbar ausgebildet sein. Die Anschlagelemente 32, 33 können auch bezüglich ihrer Anschlagposition verstellbar sein, indem z.B. das Anschlagelement 33 zur Begrenzung der linearen Bewegung der Gegenhalteplatte 16 in Transportrichtung T auf der Linearführung 20, 21 verstellbar angeordnet ist.The
Der Vorrichtung 10 kann des Weiteren ein Leitelement 45 zugeordnet sein, mittels dem die vom Tabakballen 12 abgeschnittenen Scheiben 11 zur weiteren Verarbeitung umgelenkt bzw. aus der Vorrichtung 10 gelenkt werden können. Die Vorrichtung 10 kann des Weiteren eine Steuerung umfassen, mittels der die Antriebe für den Tabakballentransport, das Trennmesser und den Schneidtisch sowie vorhandene Detektionsmittel, wie z.B. Lichtschranken oder dergleichen, aufeinander abgestimmt gesteuert werden können.The

In der
In den Figuren wird das Schneiden von Scheiben 11 einer bestimmten Dicke beschrieben. Durch die Wahl der Größe des Vorschubs des Tabakballens 12 in Transportrichtung T, die z.B. durch Detektionsmittel ermittelt und/oder bestimmt werden kann, kann die Dicke der Scheiben 11 (Slicedicke) variiert werden. Mit zunehmender Slicedicke steigt entsprechend das Gewicht der Scheiben 11. Je größer die Dicke der Scheiben 11 ist, desto mehr wird die Gegenhalteplatte 16 ausgelenkt, wodurch sich der Winkel β und damit die horizontal wirkende Kraftkomponente vergrößert. Durch den größer werdenden Winkel β steigt somit die Gegenhaltekraft, nämlich die Druckkraft F, an.In the figures, the cutting of
