- FIG. 1 BACKGROUND DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
- This invention relates to the handling of rod like artiapparatus according to the invention generally comcles such as cigarettes and more particularly to a storing and feeding device interposed between a cigarette makingmachine and a cigarette packing machine.
- This increase in maker and packer outputs has strained the current mode of connecting the two machines.
- This mode has involved attaching a tray filler to the maker output, incorporating a tray stacker into the line and the taking of stacks of trays to the packer where a tray feeding and inverting mechanism is associated with the infeed of the packer.
- This arrangement not only constitutes a substantial expense in capital outlay and manual labor, but also incorporates additional apparatus and interfaces between apparatus into the system, increasing the possibilities for malfunctions.
- apparatus comprises a conveyor for advancing rod-like articles from a first location to a second location, a storage unit having a plurality of rod-like articles receiving slots mounted adjacent the conveyor, means for driving the slots of the storage unit into spaced relationship with the rod-like article conveyor and means for transferring rod-like articles between the conveyor and the slots in the storage unit.
- FIG. 1 is a front schematic view, partially broken away, of a preferred embodiment of apparatus according to the invention. 7
- FIG. 2 is a partial section, in a greater scale, taken on lines -11 of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on a plane analogous to the one identified by lines "-41.
- Cigarettes are transported between the storage drum 1 and the conveying drum 3 by a fluted transfer wheel 2.
- the storage drum 1 comprises two co-axial disks 101 and 201, which are mounted in parallel spaced relationship to each other on a fixed shaft 13 by respective bearings 12.
- the disks are spaced apart a distance that is adjustable in accordance with the length of the cigarettes which are to be stored in the drum.
- a plurality of ribs extend inwardly a short distance from the opposed faces of disks 101 and 201, respectively.
- the ribs extend radially from the periphery of the disks towards the common axis thereof and are equispaced angularly around said axis in facing parts so as to form a plurality of radial slots 7 therebetween.
- the slots 7 are open towards the periphery of drum 1 so that the cigarettes S can be receivedand stacked therein.
- each slot 7 is formed by a slide 8 which is fastened to a bracket 9 cantilevered from one face of a sliding block 10.
- a spiral thread is formed on the other side of block 10 and meshes with a corresponding spiral thread 111 formed on a face of a disk 1.1 rotatably mounted coaxially with disks 101 and 201.
- the slides 8 are movable radially as disk 11 rotates to vary the effective depth of the slots.
- the disks 101 and 201 are mounted for rotation with respect to shaft 13 on the bearings 112. Disk 201, and by dint of the connection formed by brackets 9, disk 101, are rotated by a pinion and gear assembly that commences with a hollow cylinder 14 formed integrally to disk 201 and mounted coaxially with shaft 13. An inner portion of disk 2 forms one of the bases of the cylinder 14, the other base being open and being provided with an inner ring gear 114. A pinion 15, keyed to the end of a drive shaft 16, meshes with the ring gear 114.
- a hollow cylinder 17 is formed integrally with disk 1 l and is mounted outwardly of and coaxially with cylinder 14. Cylinder 17 is rotatably mounted with respect to cylinder 14 on bearings 18. One end of cylinder 17 is open and is provided with a ring gear 117, which is coaxial to shaft 13.
- a pinion 19 is fastened to the end of a hollow shaft 119 through which shaft 16 passes.
- the hollow shaft 119 is supported in a bushing 20 formed integrally with the machine fixed frame 21.
- a toothed wheel 22 is keyed to hollow shaft 119 and meshes with a wheel 23 which is rotatably mounted on a spindle 24 rotatably supported in frame 21.
- a toothed. wheel 25 is keyed on spindle 24 and meshes with a drive wheel 27, which is rotatable around pivot 28, and a toothed wheel 29 keyed to shaft 16.
- Wheels 23 and 25 can be kinematically coupled through a clutch 30, actuated by a solenoid through a suitable control.
- An analogous clutch 31 allows the coupling of wheels 22 and 29, while another similar clutch 32 acts as a brake, which locks wheel 22 when both clutches and 31 are disengaged.
- the chain of toothed wheels 27, 25, 29 achieves a unitary drive ratio between wheels 27 and 29, while the pair 22, 23 doubles the revolving speed of wheel 22 in relation to wheel 27.
- Pair 15 and ring gear 114 rotates disks 101 and 201 of drum 1.
- Pair 19 rotates disk 1 1, causing spiral screw thread 111 to effect the radial displacement of brackets 9 towards and away from the axis of shaft 13 by a length substantially equal to the diameter of a cigarette at each rotation of the drum 1 in relation to disk 11.
- drum 1 and disk 1 1 rotate at the same speed, whereby no radial displacement of the brackets 9 (and thus slides 8) occurs.
- drum 1 rotates without the capability of either receiving or delivering cigarettes.
- the fluted conveyor drum 3 includes a hollow drum type body having a plurality of longitudinal grooves 33 angularly equispaced in the periphery thereof, each suitable to receive a cigarette S from a cigarette maker or filter tip attachment through an intermediate infeed drum 34.
- Each groove 33 includes a row of longitudinally interspaced radial holes 35 located at the bottom thereof which, due to the rotation of drum 3, communicate periodically and sequentially with a plurality of suction chambers 103, 203, 303, 403 and 503 arranged in series inside of drum 3 so as to follow said drum along the are included between the line of coordination between drums 3 and 34 and the line of coordination between drum 3 and the last of the fluted counting drums 6.
- the suction chambers can be selectively set to communicate with a suitable suction source (that is, a
- each chamber in which air pressure is constantly maintained at a value lower than that of the environmental atmospheric pressure) so as to generate through holes 35 a pneumatic suction as required to retain the cigarettes in the grooves of distributing drum 3.
- the communication between each chamber and said source occurs through shutofi" valves, the opening and closing of which is automatically controlled by suitable means in accordance with the operative sequences which will be described hereinbelow.
- the fluted counting drums 4, 5 and 6 have a structure similar to that of drum 3 and include respective suction chambers 204, 205, 206 so arranged as to hold the cigarettes on the drums until delivered to the associated tapes 104, and 106. These suction chambers also communicate with the suction source through respective automatically operated shutoff valves, controlled in accordance with the above mentioned operative sequence.
- the tapes 104, 105 and 106 are perforated and suitable suctions means are coupled thereto to retain the cigarettes thereon.
- the perforated tapes convey the rows of cigarettes picked up by counting drums to the packer compressor pockets (not shown).
- the transfer drum 2 also has a structure similar to drum 3 with two suction chambers 102 and 202 and two side curved guides 302, arranged on opposite sides thereof to retain the cigarettes in the grooves of said drum during their transfer to and from storing drum 1.
- drum 2 is operatively coordinated with drums l and 3.
- Suction chambers 102 and 202 are connected to the suction source through automatically operated shutoff valves to apply vacuum to one or the other chamber according to the desired operation of the device.
- vacuum is applied to chamber 102 when the cigarettes coming from the cigarette maker through intermediate drum 34 and distributing drum 3 must be stacked in the slots 7 of storage drum 1, while vacuum is applied to chamber 202 when the maker is inoperative and cigarettes must be transferred from the slots of drum 1 to the packer.
- An endless tape 36, guided on return rollers 37 accompanies drum 1, except in the area of drum 2, so as to prevent the cigarettes from falling from flutes 7 as a consequence of the rotation of drum 1.
- the various drums of the device according to the invention are operatively connected in an interdependent manner and the drive (not shown) for rotating the drums is preferably taken off the filter tip attachment through a clutch which maintains a timing correlation between the two devices, or from the packer through a clutch which does not require the maintenance of said timing correlation.
- the storage drum In operation, when cigarettes are being delivered directly from the maker or filter tip attachment to the packer, the storage drum is in its inoperative mode and neither receives cigarettes from conveyor drum 3, nor delivers cigarettes thereto. A certain reserve of cigarettes will generally exist in the slots 7 in this mode.
- a vacuum is always maintained in chambers 103, 203 and 303, while in chambers 403 and 503 vacuum will be applied first in one chamber and then in both chambers, in accordance with controls responsive to the counting of drums 4 and 5 respectively so as to form the desired row of cigarettes subsequently on tapes 10d, 105 and 1106.
- the rows of cigarettes can consist, for instance, of seven cigarettes on tapes 104 and 106 and six on tape 105. It is evident that the vacuum drop and restoration in the various suction chambers will be effected automatically by actuating and interrupting the above mentioned remote controlled shutoff valves interposed between each chamber and the suction source.
- a photocell type is mounted to start the packer only after a predetermined number of cigarettes has been collected on tapes 104, 105 and 106, for example, enough cigarettes to fill about one third of the conveying length of the tapes.
- the packer becomes inoperative, the rows of cigarettes on tapes 104, 105 and 106 become longer since the infeed to the packer compressor pockets is blocked.
- a device for example, of the photocell type, detects this excess length and generates a control signal.
- the control signal drops the vacuum in chamber 203 of the conveyor drum 3, while it applies vacuum in chamber 102 of transfer drum 2, thus diverting the cigarettes towards the storage drum 1.
- drum 1 is changed by the same sig nal from the inoperative mode to the receiving mode by disengaging clutch 31 and brake 32 and by engaging clutch 30.
- the cigarette maker output rate is also reduced to a lower rate appropriate to the capacity of the drum ll to receive cigarettes. if the packer stoppage is for a duration sufficient to completely fill the storage drum l, the cigarette maker is stopped by a suitable detection and control circuit.
- a control signal is generated which automatically disengages conveyor drum 3 from the filter tip attachment drive and transfers the drive of said drum to an output from the packer.
- vacuum is applied to chamber 202, brake 32 is actuated and clutches 30 and 31 are disengaged, whereby the cigarettes are delivered from the storage drum 1 to the packer via transfer drum 2, conveyor drum 3 and the counting drums and the tapes, within the limits allowed by the cigarette reserve existing in it.
