Description

フィルタ装着装置Filter mounting device
　本発明は、フィルタ装着装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a filter mounting device.
　公知のようにフィルタ装着装置は、２本のシガレットの間にフィルタプラグを位置付けてダブルフィルタシガレットの中間品とし、この中間品にチップペーパを巻き付けてダブルフィルタシガレットを形成する（例えば特許文献１参照）。特許文献１に示すように、チップペーパを巻き付ける工程で、中間品は種々のドラム間や、ドラムと部材との間の通路を通る。このとき、この通路間隙がフィルタ直径よりも狭い場合があるため、フィルタは圧縮されてこの通路を通る。 As is well known, a filter mounting device positions a filter plug between two cigarettes to form an intermediate product of a double filter cigarette, and forms a double filter cigarette by winding a chip paper around the intermediate product (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ). As shown in Patent Document 1, in the process of winding the chip paper, the intermediate product passes through various drums or passages between the drum and the member. At this time, since this passage gap may be narrower than the filter diameter, the filter is compressed and passes through this passage.
　しかしカプセルインフィルタの場合、この狭い通路を通るときにカプセルが破損してしまうおそれがある。カプセルを小さくして対応することも考えられるが、カプセル内の香料量が制限されてしまい、特に極細シガレットの場合、カプセルサイズがかなり小さくなってしまって十分な香料量をカプセル内に封入することが困難である。また、中空フィルタの場合でも狭い通路を通るときにフィルタが圧縮されて中空部の形状が変形する恐れもある。 However, in the case of a capsule-in filter, the capsule may be damaged when passing through this narrow passage. It is conceivable to reduce the size of the capsule, but the amount of fragrance in the capsule is limited, especially in the case of ultra-fine cigarettes, the capsule size becomes considerably small, and a sufficient amount of fragrance must be enclosed in the capsule. Is difficult. Further, even in the case of a hollow filter, when passing through a narrow passage, the filter may be compressed and the shape of the hollow part may be deformed.

　本発明は、チップペーパを用いてシガレットにフィルタを装着する際にフィルタ内に封入されたカプセルの破損やフィルタ中空部の変形を防止するフィルタ装着装置を提供する。 The present invention provides a filter mounting device that prevents breakage of a capsule enclosed in a filter and deformation of a filter hollow portion when a filter is mounted on a cigarette using chip paper.
　本発明は、２本のシガレット間にフィルタプラグを位置付けてダブルフィルタシガレットの中間品とした後、片面に接着剤が塗布された接続紙を前記中間品に巻き付けてダブルフィルタシガレットを形成するフィルタ装着装置において、前記フィルタプラグ又は前記中間品若しくはこれらを加工する前及び後の前加工品又は後加工品が搬送される搬送経路を備え、前記フィルタプラグ又は前記中間品若しくはこれらを加工する前及び後の前加工品又は後加工品の直径よりも前記搬送経路が狭い部位に、前記搬送経路に沿った位置を拡径した拡径部を設けたことを特徴とするフィルタ装着装置である。 The present invention provides a filter mounting in which a filter plug is positioned between two cigarettes to form an intermediate product of a double filter cigarette, and then a connection paper coated with an adhesive on one side is wound around the intermediate product to form a double filter cigarette The apparatus includes a transport path through which the filter plug or the intermediate product or a pre-processed product or a post-processed product before and after the processing is transported, and before and after the filter plug or the intermediate product or the processing thereof. The filter mounting device is characterized in that a diameter-enlarged portion whose diameter is increased along the conveyance path is provided in a portion where the conveyance path is narrower than the diameter of the pre-processed product or the post-processed product.
　また、前記中間品を保持しながら前記中間品を周方向に搬送する第１の搬送ドラムと、前記搬送経路を形成し、前記第１の搬送ドラムから前記中間品を受け取って前記中間品を周方向に搬送する第２の搬送ドラムと、前記第１の搬送ドラムと隣接し、チップペーパを巻き出して前記第１の搬送ドラムに沿って搬送されている前記中間体に旗付けする供給ドラムと、前記第２の搬送ドラムの周方向に沿って隣接し、前記中間品と接しながら転動させて前記チップペーパを前記中間品に巻き付けるガイド部材とをさらに備えている。 In addition, a first conveying drum that conveys the intermediate product in the circumferential direction while holding the intermediate product, and the conveying path are formed, and the intermediate product is received from the first conveying drum and is rotated around the intermediate product. A second transport drum that transports in the direction, a supply drum that is adjacent to the first transport drum, unwinds the chip paper, and flags the intermediate transported along the first transport drum. And a guide member that is adjacent to the second conveying drum along the circumferential direction and rolls while contacting the intermediate product to wind the chip paper around the intermediate product.
　好ましくは、前記拡径部は、前記第１の搬送ドラムが前記中間体を保持する保持部に形成された凹みである。 Preferably, the enlarged diameter portion is a recess formed in a holding portion where the first transport drum holds the intermediate body.
　好ましくは、前記拡径部は、対向する前記第２の搬送ドラムの周方向に沿って前記ガイド部材に形成された溝である。 Preferably, the enlarged-diameter portion is a groove formed in the guide member along a circumferential direction of the opposing second transport drum.
　好ましくは、前記溝は、長手方向に沿って側壁上部が面取り加工された面取り部を有している。 Preferably, the groove has a chamfered portion in which a side wall upper portion is chamfered along the longitudinal direction.
　好ましくは、前記フィルタプラグにはカプセルが封入されていて、前記拡径部は前記カプセルが封入された位置に対応して設けられている。 Preferably, a capsule is enclosed in the filter plug, and the enlarged diameter portion is provided corresponding to a position where the capsule is enclosed.
　また、フィルタ装着装置は、前記前加工品が収容されるホッパをさらに備え、前記搬送経路は、前記ホッパに向けて前記前加工品を送り出す上下一対の複数の搬送ローラの間に形成され、前記拡径部は、前記搬送ローラに形成されている。 The filter mounting device further includes a hopper that accommodates the pre-processed product, and the transport path is formed between a pair of upper and lower transport rollers that send the pre-processed product toward the hopper, The enlarged diameter portion is formed on the transport roller.
　本発明によれば、フィルタプラグの直径よりも搬送経路が狭い部位に、搬送経路に沿ってカプセルが封入された位置を拡径した拡径部を設けたので、狭くなった搬送経路を搬送中にフィルタプラグ内に封入されたカプセルが潰されることを防止できる。狭い搬送経路は、中間品を圧縮することで製造工程の機能を発揮するためにあえて形成されているものだが、拡径部は搬送経路に沿ってカプセルが封入された位置に形成されているので、中間品の他の部位は従来通り圧縮されて狭い搬送経路を通る。このため、狭い搬送経路での製造工程の機能が低減することはない。 According to the present invention, since the diameter-enlarged portion is provided at the portion where the transport path is narrower than the diameter of the filter plug, the position where the capsule is enclosed along the transport path is provided. In addition, the capsule enclosed in the filter plug can be prevented from being crushed. The narrow conveyance path is formed in order to demonstrate the function of the manufacturing process by compressing the intermediate product, but the enlarged diameter part is formed at the position where the capsule is enclosed along the conveyance path The other part of the intermediate product is compressed as usual and passes through a narrow conveyance path. For this reason, the function of the manufacturing process in a narrow conveyance path | route does not reduce.
　また、拡径部として、第１の搬送ドラムが中間体を保持する保持部に形成された凹みとすれば、第１の搬送ドラムで保持された状態で中間品を圧縮させながら搬送する工程がある場合、カプセルは凹みに若干入り込むため、カプセルが潰されて破損することを防止できる。 Further, if the first conveying drum is a recess formed in the holding portion that holds the intermediate body as the diameter-enlarged portion, the step of conveying the intermediate product while being compressed by the first conveying drum is performed. In some cases, since the capsule slightly enters the recess, the capsule can be prevented from being crushed and broken.
　また、拡径部として、対向する第２の搬送ドラムの周方向に沿ってガイド部材に形成された溝とすれば、第２の搬送ドラムとガイド部材との間で圧縮されながら転動し、チップペーパを巻き付ける際にカプセルが破損することを防止できる。すなわち、中間品の転動中、カプセルは溝に沿って移動するので、カプセル部分が圧縮されることはなく、したがってカプセルが潰されて破損することはない。 Moreover, if it is a groove formed in the guide member along the circumferential direction of the opposing second transport drum as the enlarged diameter portion, it rolls while being compressed between the second transport drum and the guide member, It is possible to prevent the capsule from being damaged when the tip paper is wound. That is, during the rolling of the intermediate product, the capsule moves along the groove, so that the capsule portion is not compressed, and therefore the capsule is not crushed and broken.
　また、溝は、長手方向に沿って側壁上部が面取り加工された面取り部を有しているため、中間品が転動中、溝のエッジによってチップペーパに皺や圧痕が形成されることを防止できる。 In addition, since the groove has a chamfered portion with a chamfered side wall along the longitudinal direction, it prevents the edge of the groove from forming wrinkles and indentations on the edge of the groove while the intermediate product is rolling. it can.

　本発明に係るフィルタ装着装置１は、２本のシガレットＳ間にカプセル２（図２参照）が封入されたフィルタプラグＦＰを位置付けてダブルフィルタシガレットの中間品ＩＰとした後、片面に接着剤が塗布されたチップペーパ３を中間品ＩＰに巻き付けてダブルフィルタシガレットを形成するものである。具体的には、図１に示すように、第１の搬送ドラム４と第２の搬送ドラム５とで形成される搬送経路６を備えている。搬送経路６は、中間品が搬送される経路である。第１の搬送ドラム４はこの搬送経路６の上流部分を形成し、第２の搬送ドラム５は下流部分を形成している。 In the filter mounting device 1 according to the present invention, after the filter plug FP in which the capsule 2 (see FIG. 2) is sealed between the two cigarettes S is positioned as an intermediate product IP of the double filter cigarette, an adhesive is applied to one side. The applied chip paper 3 is wound around the intermediate product IP to form a double filter cigarette. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, a transport path 6 formed by a first transport drum 4 and a second transport drum 5 is provided. The conveyance path 6 is a path along which the intermediate product is conveyed. The first transport drum 4 forms an upstream portion of the transport path 6, and the second transport drum 5 forms a downstream portion.
　第１の搬送ドラム４はスワッシュプレートドラムとも称されている。第１の搬送ドラム４は、外周に中間品ＩＰの一部を収容しながら吸着する吸着溝７を備えた保持ユニット８（図４参照）を複数個並べて形成されている。この保持ユニット８に中間品ＩＰが一つずつ収容されて第１の搬送ドラム４の周方向に搬送される。第２の搬送ドラム５はローリングドラムとも称され、第１の搬送ドラム４から中間品ＩＰを受け取って中間品ＩＰを周方向に搬送する。第２の搬送ドラム５の外周面には、軸方向に亘って中間品ＩＰを受け入れ可能な保持溝が形成されていて、この保持溝により中間品ＩＰが搬送される。 The first transport drum 4 is also called a swash plate drum. The first transport drum 4 is formed by arranging a plurality of holding units 8 (see FIG. 4) each having an adsorption groove 7 that adsorbs while accommodating a part of the intermediate product IP on the outer periphery. One intermediate product IP is accommodated in the holding unit 8 and conveyed in the circumferential direction of the first conveyance drum 4. The second transport drum 5 is also called a rolling drum, and receives the intermediate product IP from the first transport drum 4 and transports the intermediate product IP in the circumferential direction. A holding groove capable of receiving the intermediate product IP is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the second transport drum 5 in the axial direction, and the intermediate product IP is transported by the holding groove.
　第１の搬送ドラム４と隣接して供給ドラム９が配設されている。この供給ドラム９からは接続紙の一例としてのチップペーパが巻き出され、このチップペーパは第１の搬送ドラム４に沿って搬送されている中間品ＩＰに旗付けされる。一方で、第２の搬送ドラム５の周方向に沿ってガイド部材１０が隣接して配設されている。ガイド部材１０は、第２の搬送ドラム５と協働して中間品ＩＰを転動させ、チップペーパを中間品に巻き付ける。 A supply drum 9 is disposed adjacent to the first transport drum 4. Chip paper as an example of connection paper is unwound from the supply drum 9, and this chip paper is flagged on the intermediate product IP conveyed along the first conveyance drum 4. On the other hand, a guide member 10 is disposed adjacently along the circumferential direction of the second transport drum 5. The guide member 10 rolls the intermediate product IP in cooperation with the second transport drum 5 and winds the chip paper around the intermediate product.
　以上のような構造を有するフィルタ装着装置１を用いて実際に中間品ＩＰにチップペーパを巻き付ける工程を順番に説明する。公知の手段で製造されたシガレット２本分の長さを有するダブルシガレットＤＳは、これを搬送する過程にて２本のシングルシガレットＳに切断される。この後、これら２本のシングルシガレットＳが軸方向に離間されてシガレット列が形成される。 The steps of actually winding the chip paper around the intermediate product IP using the filter mounting device 1 having the above structure will be described in order. A double cigarette DS having a length corresponding to two cigarettes manufactured by a known means is cut into two single cigarettes S in the process of transporting the cigarette DS. Thereafter, the two single cigarettes S are separated in the axial direction to form a cigarette row.
　一方、公知の手段で製造されたフィルタロッドはフィルタシガレット１本分の長さのフィルタチップ２個分の長さとしてフィルタプラグＦＰごとに切断される。この場合のフィルタチップはカプセルインフィルタであり、フィルタチップ中にカプセル２が封入されている。このカプセル２の封入は公知の手段を適用できる。このフィルタプラグＦＰは搬送方向にグレーディング処理を経て１列に整列され、この後、加速ドラム１１を通じて第１の搬送ドラム（スワッシュプレートドラム）４に供給される。 On the other hand, the filter rod manufactured by a known means is cut for each filter plug FP as the length of two filter chips each having the length of one filter cigarette. The filter chip in this case is a capsule-in filter, and the capsule 2 is enclosed in the filter chip. A known means can be applied to encapsulate the capsule 2. The filter plugs FP are aligned in a row through a grading process in the transport direction, and then supplied to the first transport drum (swash plate drum) 4 through the acceleration drum 11.
　上述したシガレット列は、各シングルシガレットＳの間にフィルタプラグＦＰを受け入れ可能な間隔を存しており、この間隔を保持したまま第１の搬送ドラム４に供給される。そしてシガレット列が第１の搬送ドラム４に供給されると、フィルタプラグＦＰと同一の軸線上に並ぶ。第１の搬送ドラム４はその回転方向で視て両側に一対のフローティングディスク（不図示）を備えていて、第１の搬送ドラム４の回転に伴い、各シガレットＳは両側のフローティングディスクに挟み込まれ、軸方向にその間隔を詰められる。これにより、２本のシングルシガレットＳの間にフィルタプラグＦＰを位置付けたダブルフィルタシガレットの中間品ＩＰが形成される。 The above-described cigarette row has an interval in which the filter plug FP can be received between the single cigarettes S, and is supplied to the first transport drum 4 while maintaining this interval. When the cigarette row is supplied to the first transport drum 4, it is arranged on the same axis as the filter plug FP. The first transport drum 4 is provided with a pair of floating disks (not shown) on both sides as viewed in the rotational direction, and each cigarette S is sandwiched between the floating disks on both sides as the first transport drum 4 rotates. , The interval is packed in the axial direction. Thereby, the intermediate product IP of the double filter cigarette in which the filter plug FP is positioned between the two single cigarettes S is formed.
　一方で、図示しないチップペーパのロールからはチップペーパのウエブＷが繰り出されている。このウエブＷは供給ドラム（コークドラム）９まで導かれる。ウエブＷは供給ドラム９の手前でその片面に接着剤（糊）を塗布される。具体的には、供給ドラム９の手前の位置に接着剤ローラ１２が配されていて、この接着剤ローラ１２は下半分を接着剤液１３に浸された状態で回転する。接着剤ローラ１２の上方にはトランスミッションローラ１４が隣接して配置されていて、接着剤ローラ１２の外周面に付着した接着剤はトランスミッションローラ１４の外周面に所定の層厚で移し替えられる。トランスミッションローラ１４はウエブＷの通過に伴いその片面に転接し、所定の塗布パターンにしたがって接着剤を塗布する。 On the other hand, a tip paper web W is fed out from a tip paper roll (not shown). The web W is guided to a supply drum (coke drum) 9. An adhesive (glue) is applied to one side of the web W before the supply drum 9. Specifically, an adhesive roller 12 is disposed at a position in front of the supply drum 9, and the adhesive roller 12 rotates with the lower half immersed in the adhesive liquid 13. A transmission roller 14 is disposed adjacently above the adhesive roller 12, and the adhesive adhering to the outer peripheral surface of the adhesive roller 12 is transferred to the outer peripheral surface of the transmission roller 14 with a predetermined layer thickness. As the web W passes, the transmission roller 14 rolls on one side and applies an adhesive according to a predetermined application pattern.
　供給ドラム９はその外周に吸引面を有していて、この吸引面にウエブＷを保持して回転する。供給ドラム９に近接して刃付きドラム１５が配されている。この刃付きドラム１５は外周に多数のコークナイフ（不図示）を有している。これらコークナイフは一定の間隔を存して配置され、刃付きドラム１５の回転に伴い供給ドラム９に同期して回転する。これら回転するコークナイフにより、供給ドラム９の吸引面上にてウエブＷはチップペーパ３に切断される。 The supply drum 9 has a suction surface on its outer periphery, and rotates while holding the web W on this suction surface. A bladed drum 15 is disposed adjacent to the supply drum 9. The bladed drum 15 has a large number of coke knives (not shown) on its outer periphery. These coke knives are arranged at regular intervals, and rotate in synchronization with the supply drum 9 as the bladed drum 15 rotates. The web W is cut into chip paper 3 on the suction surface of the supply drum 9 by these rotating coke knives.
　図６に示すように、さらに供給ドラム９は切断後のチップペーパ３を吸引孔２２を用いて吸引保持して回転し、第１の搬送ドラム４上の中間品ＩＰにチップペーパ３を供給する。なお供給ドラム９と第１の搬送ドラム４との間は貼り付け通路６ａとして形成されている。チップペーパ３はその先頭部分から中間品ＩＰの外面に貼り付き、中間品ＩＰとともに第１の搬送ドラム４上を搬送する。なお、供給ドラム９は１枚のチップペーパ３を吸引するために用いる複数個の吸引孔２２が形成された吸引ユニット２３を周方向に複数個並べて形成されている。これら吸引ユニット２３は連結部２５にて互いに連結される。このチップペーパ３が貼り付けられた状態で、中間品ＩＰは第１の搬送ドラム４から第２の搬送ドラム（ローリングドラム）５に受け渡される。なお、第１の搬送ドラム４と第２の搬送ドラム５との間は受け渡し通路６ｂとして形成されている。中間品ＩＰは第２の搬送ドラム５の回転に伴いガイド部材１０との間に搬送される。 As shown in FIG. 6, the supply drum 9 further rotates by sucking and holding the cut chip paper 3 using the suction holes 22 to supply the chip paper 3 to the intermediate product IP on the first transport drum 4. . A space between the supply drum 9 and the first transport drum 4 is formed as a pasting passage 6a. The chip paper 3 is stuck to the outer surface of the intermediate product IP from the head portion thereof, and is transported on the first transport drum 4 together with the intermediate product IP. The supply drum 9 is formed by arranging a plurality of suction units 23 formed with a plurality of suction holes 22 used for sucking one chip paper 3 in the circumferential direction. These suction units 23 are connected to each other by a connecting portion 25. The intermediate product IP is transferred from the first transport drum 4 to the second transport drum (rolling drum) 5 with the chip paper 3 attached. A passage 6b is formed between the first transport drum 4 and the second transport drum 5. The intermediate product IP is transported to and from the guide member 10 as the second transport drum 5 rotates.
　ガイド部材１０は第２の搬送ドラム５の回転方向に沿って延びている。なお第２の搬送ドラム５の外周とガイド部材１０との間に中間品ＩＰの転動通路６ｃが形成されていて、転動通路６ｃは第２の搬送ドラム５の外周に沿って湾曲している。この転動通路６ｃを通過することで、中間品ＩＰにはチップペーパ３が巻き付けられ、ダブルフィルタシガレットが製造される。 The guide member 10 extends along the rotation direction of the second transport drum 5. A rolling path 6 c for the intermediate product IP is formed between the outer periphery of the second transport drum 5 and the guide member 10, and the rolling path 6 c is curved along the outer periphery of the second transport drum 5. Yes. By passing through the rolling passage 6c, the chip paper 3 is wound around the intermediate product IP, and a double filter cigarette is manufactured.
　ここで、搬送経路６には、中間品ＩＰの一部として搬送されるフィルタプラグＦＰの直径よりも狭い部位が存在する。例えば貼り付け通路６ａでは多少中間品ＩＰを径方向に圧縮して貼り付け位置をある程度固定する必要があるし、受け渡し通路６ｂではある程度中間品ＩＰを径方向に圧縮してその位置を固定して受け渡しを確実にする必要がある。また、転動通路６ｃではある程度中間品ＩＰを径方向に圧縮しながら転動させてチップペーパを確実に巻き付ける必要がある。このような搬送経路６の部位（例えば貼り付け通路６ａ、受け渡し通路６ｂ、転動通路６ｃ）にて、フィルタ装着装置１には搬送経路６に沿ってカプセル２が封入された位置を拡径した拡径部が設けられている。すなわち、カプセル２に着目した場合、その搬送軌跡は拡径部に沿っている。 Here, the conveyance path 6 has a portion narrower than the diameter of the filter plug FP conveyed as part of the intermediate product IP. For example, in the pasting passage 6a, it is necessary to compress the intermediate product IP somewhat in the radial direction to fix the pasting position to some extent, and in the delivery passage 6b, the intermediate product IP is compressed to some extent in the radial direction to fix its position. It is necessary to ensure delivery. Further, in the rolling passage 6c, it is necessary to roll the tip paper reliably by rolling the intermediate product IP while compressing the intermediate product IP in a radial direction to some extent. In such a part of the transport path 6 (for example, the pasting path 6a, the transfer path 6b, and the rolling path 6c), the filter mounting device 1 has a diameter expanded at the position where the capsule 2 is sealed along the transport path 6. An enlarged diameter portion is provided. That is, when attention is paid to the capsule 2, the transport locus is along the enlarged diameter portion.
　このような拡径部を設ければ、狭くなった搬送経路６を搬送中にフィルタプラグＦＰ内に封入されたカプセル２が潰されることを防止できる。狭い搬送経路（例えば貼り付け通路６ａ、受け渡し通路６ｂ、転動通路６ｃ）は、中間品ＩＰを圧縮することで製造工程の機能を発揮するためにあえて形成されているものだが、拡径部は搬送経路６に沿ってカプセル２が封入された位置に形成されているので、中間品ＩＰの他の部位は従来通り圧縮されて狭い搬送経路を通る。このため、狭い搬送経路での製造工程の機能が低減することはない。なお、拡径部を設ける部位は上述した貼り付け通路６ａ、受け渡し通路６ｂ、転動通路６ｃに限らず、搬送経路６がフィルタプラグＦＰの直径よりも狭い部位であればどの部位に設けてもよい。拡径部として他の部位よりその径を広がる間隔は、０．１ｍｍ～３．０ｍｍであるが、より好ましくは０．３ｍｍ～１．５ｍｍである。 If such a diameter-enlarged portion is provided, it is possible to prevent the capsule 2 enclosed in the filter plug FP from being crushed during conveyance through the narrowed conveyance path 6. The narrow conveyance path (for example, the pasting path 6a, the transfer path 6b, and the rolling path 6c) is formed in order to exert the function of the manufacturing process by compressing the intermediate product IP. Since the capsule 2 is formed at the position where the capsule 2 is enclosed along the transport path 6, the other parts of the intermediate product IP are compressed as usual and pass through a narrow transport path. For this reason, the function of the manufacturing process in a narrow conveyance path | route does not reduce. Note that the portion where the enlarged diameter portion is provided is not limited to the pasting passage 6a, the delivery passage 6b, and the rolling passage 6c described above, and may be provided at any portion as long as the conveyance path 6 is narrower than the diameter of the filter plug FP. Good. The interval at which the diameter of the expanded portion is increased from other portions is 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm, more preferably 0.3 mm to 1.5 mm.
　以下、拡径部の具体例について説明する。
　図２に示すように、拡径部は、ガイド部材１０の転動通路６ｃ側表面に形成された溝１６である。この溝１６は、ガイド部材１０に対向する第２の搬送ドラム５の周方向に沿って形成されている。すなわち、搬送経路６の搬送方向Ｔに沿って形成されている。図２の仮想線で示すように、中間品ＩＰが搬送経路６に沿って搬送されているときに、フィルタプラグＦＰに封入されたカプセル２に対応する位置に溝１６は形成されている。拡径部としてこのような溝１６を設けることで、第２の搬送ドラム５とガイド部材１０との間で圧縮されながら中間品ＩＰを転動させ、チップペーパ３を巻き付ける際にカプセル２が破損することを防止できる。すなわち、中間品ＩＰが転動通路６ｃを転動中、カプセル２は溝１６に沿って移動するので、カプセル２が圧縮されることはなく、したがってカプセル２が潰されて破損することはない。なお、ガイド部材１０の搬送方向入口側には、中間品ＩＰに転動のきっかけを与えるためのキッキングバー１７が転動通路６ｃ側に突出して設けられている。溝１６は、このキッキングバー１７にも設けられる。ガイド部材１０のその他の表面の一部はローレット加工が施された加工部１８を有し、グリップ力が高められている。 Hereinafter, specific examples of the enlarged diameter portion will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, the enlarged diameter portion is a groove 16 formed on the surface of the guide member 10 on the rolling passage 6 c side. The groove 16 is formed along the circumferential direction of the second transport drum 5 facing the guide member 10. That is, it is formed along the transport direction T of the transport path 6. As indicated by the phantom lines in FIG. 2, when the intermediate product IP is transported along the transport path 6, the groove 16 is formed at a position corresponding to the capsule 2 enclosed in the filter plug FP. By providing such a groove 16 as an enlarged diameter portion, the intermediate product IP rolls while being compressed between the second transport drum 5 and the guide member 10, and the capsule 2 is damaged when the chip paper 3 is wound. Can be prevented. That is, since the capsule 2 moves along the groove 16 while the intermediate product IP rolls in the rolling passage 6c, the capsule 2 is not compressed, and therefore the capsule 2 is not crushed and damaged. A kicking bar 17 is provided on the entrance side of the guide member 10 in the conveying direction so as to project the rolling of the intermediate product IP toward the rolling passage 6c. The groove 16 is also provided in the kicking bar 17. A part of the other surface of the guide member 10 has a processed portion 18 that has been knurled so that the gripping force is enhanced.
　図３に示すように、溝１６は、長手方向に沿って側壁上部が面取り加工された面取り部１９を有している。特に図示したようなラウンドエッジとすることが好ましい。このように面取り部１９を設ければ、中間品ＩＰが転動通路６ｃを転動中、溝１６のエッジによってチップペーパ３に皺や圧痕が形成されることを防止できる。 As shown in FIG. 3, the groove 16 has a chamfered portion 19 in which a side wall upper portion is chamfered along the longitudinal direction. In particular, a round edge as illustrated is preferable. If the chamfered portion 19 is provided in this way, it is possible to prevent wrinkles and indentations from being formed on the tip paper 3 by the edge of the groove 16 while the intermediate product IP rolls in the rolling passage 6c.
　他の拡径部の例として、図４に示すように、第１の搬送ドラム４に形成された凹み２０がある。より詳しくは、凹み２０は、第１の搬送ドラム４の周方向に並べて設けられた保持ユニット８にそれぞれ設けられる。上述したように、第１の搬送ドラム４で中間品ＩＰが搬送される場合、中間品ＩＰは一部を吸着溝７に収容されて搬送されるが、この収容された状態でカプセル２の対応する位置に凹み２０が設けられる。なお、中間品ＩＰの保持は吸着溝７の底部に設けられた吸引口２１から吸引することで行われる。このような凹み２０を設ければ、中間品ＩＰが第１の搬送ドラム４で保持された状態で中間品ＩＰを圧縮させながら搬送する工程がある場合（例えば貼り付け通路６ａでのチップペーパ旗付け工程や受け渡し通路６ｂでの受け渡し工程）、カプセル２は凹み２０に若干入り込むため、カプセル２が潰されて破損することを防止できる。また、凹み２０は吸着溝７よりも周方向に両側が突出している。このように凹み２０を突出させることで、中間品ＩＰが吸着溝７を出て移動する際（又は入り込む際）に、カプセル２が吸着溝７のエッジで潰れることを防止できる。 As another example of the enlarged diameter portion, there is a recess 20 formed in the first transport drum 4 as shown in FIG. More specifically, the recesses 20 are respectively provided in the holding units 8 provided side by side in the circumferential direction of the first transport drum 4. As described above, when the intermediate product IP is transported by the first transport drum 4, a part of the intermediate product IP is transported while being accommodated in the suction groove 7. A dent 20 is provided at the position to be. The intermediate product IP is held by suction from a suction port 21 provided at the bottom of the suction groove 7. If such a recess 20 is provided, there is a step of transporting the intermediate product IP while being compressed by the intermediate product IP being held by the first transport drum 4 (for example, a chip paper flag in the pasting path 6a). Attachment process and delivery process in the delivery passage 6b), since the capsule 2 slightly enters the recess 20, the capsule 2 can be prevented from being crushed and damaged. Further, both sides of the recess 20 protrude in the circumferential direction from the suction groove 7. By projecting the recess 20 in this way, the capsule 2 can be prevented from being crushed by the edge of the suction groove 7 when the intermediate product IP moves out (or enters) the suction groove 7.
　また、貼り付け通路６ａでのチップペーパ旗付け工程では、上述した第１の搬送ドラムに設けた凹み２０とともによりカプセル２の破損防止を図るため、供給ドラム９にも凹み（拡径部）２４を設けてもよい。この場合は、切断後のチップペーパ３を吸引保持し、第１の搬送ドラム４で搬送されている中間品ＩＰと糊付けする際にカプセル２が配される位置に凹み２４を設ける。これにより、より確実にカプセル２を保護することができる。なお、第１の搬送ドラム４に凹み２０を設けずに供給ドラム９のみに凹み２４を設けてもよい。 Further, in the chip paper flagging process in the affixing passage 6a, in order to prevent the capsule 2 from being damaged together with the dent 20 provided in the first transport drum, a dent (expansion portion) 24 is also provided in the supply drum 9. May be provided. In this case, the chip paper 3 after being cut is sucked and held, and a dent 24 is provided at a position where the capsule 2 is arranged when gluing with the intermediate product IP conveyed by the first conveyance drum 4. Thereby, the capsule 2 can be more reliably protected. Note that the dent 24 may be provided only in the supply drum 9 without providing the dent 20 in the first transport drum 4.
　なお、上述した溝１６や凹み２０の拡径部は図示した形状に限定されず、カプセル２が搬送される経路に対応する位置が広がるものであればどのような形状であってもよい。また、拡径部として設ける位置も図示した位置に限定されず、第２の搬送ドラム５に設けてもよいし、ガイド部材１０と第２の搬送ドラム５の両方に設けてもよい。すなわち、カプセル２が搬送される位置にカプセル２を受け入れ可能な拡径部を設ければこれを設ける位置は限定されない。また、上記実施例では拡径部の位置をカプセル２が封入された位置に対応して設けた例を説明したが、例えば一部に中空部分があるようなフィルタプラグを用いた場合、この中空部分に対応した位置に拡径部を設けることで同様の効果を得ることができる。 Note that the diameter-enlarged portions of the grooves 16 and the recesses 20 described above are not limited to the shapes shown in the drawings, and may be any shapes as long as the position corresponding to the path along which the capsule 2 is conveyed widens. Moreover, the position provided as an enlarged diameter part is not limited to the position shown in figure, You may provide in the 2nd conveyance drum 5, and you may provide in both the guide member 10 and the 2nd conveyance drum 5. FIG. That is, as long as a diameter-enlarged portion capable of receiving the capsule 2 is provided at a position where the capsule 2 is conveyed, the position where the capsule 2 is provided is not limited. In the above embodiment, the example in which the position of the enlarged diameter portion is provided corresponding to the position where the capsule 2 is sealed has been described. However, for example, when a filter plug having a hollow portion is used, this hollow portion A similar effect can be obtained by providing the enlarged diameter portion at a position corresponding to the portion.
　本発明に係るフィルタ装着装置１は、上述した図１の例に加えて、さらにホッパ２６等を有している。ホッパ２６には上述したフィルタプラグＦＰの２個分の長さのダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰが供給される。ホッパ２６の下部にはフィルタカッティングドラム２７が配設されていて、ダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰはこのドラム２７の回転方向に沿って１本ずつ移動する。ダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰはフィルタカッティングドラム２７にて半分に切断され、２本のフィルタプラグＦＰとされる。したがってダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰはフィルタプラグＦＰとなるように加工される前加工品の一例となる。 The filter mounting apparatus 1 according to the present invention further includes a hopper 26 and the like in addition to the example of FIG. 1 described above. The hopper 26 is supplied with a double filter plug DFP having a length corresponding to two of the above-described filter plugs FP. A filter cutting drum 27 is disposed below the hopper 26, and the double filter plug DFP moves one by one along the rotation direction of the drum 27. The double filter plug DFP is cut in half by the filter cutting drum 27 to form two filter plugs FP. Therefore, the double filter plug DFP is an example of a pre-processed product that is processed to become the filter plug FP.
　フィルタプラグＦＰはそのままグレーディングドラム２８へと受け渡され、切断された２本のフィルタプラグＦＰは進行方向に対して前後に位置をずらされる。そして、そのままシフティングドラム２９へと受け渡され、前後に位置をずらされたそれぞれのフィルタプラグＦＰはドラム２９の中央へ寄せられ、一列にされる。 The filter plug FP is transferred to the grading drum 28 as it is, and the two cut filter plugs FP are shifted back and forth with respect to the traveling direction. Then, the filter plugs FP, which are directly transferred to the shifting drum 29 and shifted in the front-rear direction, are moved toward the center of the drum 29 and are aligned.
　そしてアクセレレーティングドラム３０に受け渡されて進行方向に対する速度が加速される。そして上述した加速ドラム１１に受け渡される。その後の搬送経路については図１で示したとおりである。 And it is passed to the accelerating drum 30 and the speed in the traveling direction is accelerated. And it is delivered to the acceleration drum 11 mentioned above. The subsequent transport path is as shown in FIG.
　以上のようなドラム２７～３０は図７に示す実線の矢印方向に回転し、フィルタプラグＦＰ（ダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰ）もこの回転に沿って図７に示す点線の矢印方向に移動する。このドラム２７～３０に沿ってフィルタプラグＦＰが移動する際、フィルタプラグＦＰ内のカプセルや中空部分に対応する位置に図２～図５で示すような拡径部が設けられ、カプセルや中空部分が潰れて破損、変形することが防止されている。このように、上述した拡径部は中間品ＩＰにチップペーパを巻き付けるときの搬送経路だけではなく、フィルタプラグＦＰ（ダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰ）を搬送するための搬送経路に存するドラム２７～３０にも適用可能である。拡径部の例としては、例えばドラム表面に溝を形成することが考えられる。 The drums 27 to 30 as described above rotate in the direction of the solid arrow shown in FIG. 7, and the filter plug FP (double filter plug DFP) also moves in the direction of the dotted arrow shown in FIG. 7 along this rotation. When the filter plug FP moves along the drums 27 to 30, a diameter-enlarged portion as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 is provided at a position corresponding to the capsule or hollow portion in the filter plug FP. Is prevented from being crushed and damaged or deformed. As described above, the above-mentioned enlarged diameter portion is not only provided for the conveyance path when the chip paper is wound around the intermediate product IP, but also for the drums 27 to 30 existing in the conveyance path for conveying the filter plug FP (double filter plug DFP). Applicable. As an example of the enlarged diameter portion, for example, it is conceivable to form a groove on the drum surface.
　一方で、ホッパ２６にダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰが供給される際、ダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰは３本のローラを上下一対用いて形成された搬送ローラ３１の間を通る（図７の矢印Ｂ）。このとき、ダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰは搬送ローラ３１の長手方向に平行に配されて送られる。上下の搬送ローラ３１間の間隔はダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰの直径より狭く設定されている。このような搬送ローラ３１間の通路もダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰの搬送経路となっていて、この搬送経路がダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰの直径よりも狭いため、ダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰが有するカプセルや中空部分が潰れて破損、変形することを防止する必要がある。これを防止するため、上述した拡径部を搬送ローラ３１に設けることができる。 On the other hand, when the double filter plug DFP is supplied to the hopper 26, the double filter plug DFP passes between the conveying rollers 31 formed by using a pair of upper and lower rollers (arrow B in FIG. 7). At this time, the double filter plug DFP is sent while being arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the transport roller 31. The distance between the upper and lower transport rollers 31 is set to be narrower than the diameter of the double filter plug DFP. Such a path between the transport rollers 31 also serves as a transport path for the double filter plug DFP, and this transport path is narrower than the diameter of the double filter plug DFP, so that the capsule or hollow portion of the double filter plug DFP is crushed. It is necessary to prevent damage and deformation. In order to prevent this, the above-mentioned enlarged diameter portion can be provided in the transport roller 31.
　具体的には、上下の搬送ローラ３１間の間隔（搬送経路の間隔）よりも拡径部を設ける部位の間隔を０．１ｍｍ～３．０ｍｍ広げる。より好ましくは０．７ｍｍ～２．８ｍｍ広げればよい。この範囲より小さいとダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰ内のカプセルや中空部分を潰して破損、変形させるおそれがあり、逆に広いとダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰの搬送不良や詰まりが発生するおそれがある。なお、拡径部は上下の搬送ローラ３１の両方に設けてもよいし、一方のみに設けてもよい。 More specifically, the interval between the portions where the enlarged diameter portion is provided is increased by 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm than the interval between the upper and lower transfer rollers 31 (the interval between the transfer paths). More preferably, it should be expanded by 0.7 mm to 2.8 mm. If it is smaller than this range, the capsule or hollow part in the double filter plug DFP may be crushed and broken or deformed. Conversely, if it is wide, the double filter plug DFP may be poorly transported or clogged. The enlarged diameter portion may be provided on both the upper and lower transport rollers 31 or only on one side.
　搬送ローラ３１に設ける拡径部の一例としては、図８に示すように、搬送ローラ３１に設けられた溝３２がある。図示したように、上下の搬送ローラ３１の間隔で規定される搬送経路の間隔は、ダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰの直径より狭く設定されている。ダブルフィルタプラグＤＦＰにはカプセル２が４つ長手方向に間隔を存して収容されている。カプセル２が配された部位には溝３２が形成され、搬送ローラ３１によってカプセル２が潰されてしまうことが防止されている。なお、カプセル２の位置が中空となっている中空フィルタであってもこの中空部分を溝３２により保護することができる。 As an example of the enlarged diameter portion provided on the transport roller 31, there is a groove 32 provided on the transport roller 31, as shown in FIG. As shown in the drawing, the interval of the conveying path defined by the interval between the upper and lower conveying rollers 31 is set to be narrower than the diameter of the double filter plug DFP. Four capsules 2 are accommodated in the double filter plug DFP at intervals in the longitudinal direction. A groove 32 is formed at a portion where the capsule 2 is disposed, and the capsule 2 is prevented from being crushed by the transport roller 31. Even in the case of a hollow filter in which the capsule 2 is hollow, this hollow portion can be protected by the groove 32.
　また、上述したチップペーパ１０を巻き付け後のダブルフィルタシガレットをさらに切断加工して得られるフィルタシガレット（不図示）のような後加工品が搬送される搬送経路においてもカプセル２や中空部分が通過する部位を拡径した拡径部を設けることもできる。 In addition, the capsule 2 and the hollow portion pass also in a conveyance path through which a post-processed product such as a filter cigarette (not shown) obtained by further cutting the double filter cigarette after the above-described chip paper 10 is wound. It is also possible to provide a diameter-expanded portion whose diameter is increased.
　具体的には、図７に示すように、第２のドラム５で形成されたダブルフィルタシガレットは、ディセレレーティングドラム３３に受け渡される。このディセレレーティングドラム３３は、その後に受け渡される各種ドラムでの作業（例えば品質の検査）を安定化させるため、以降のドラムの回転速度を落とすためのものである。そしてダブルフィルタシガレットはファイナルカッティングドラム３４に受け渡される。このファイナルカッティングドラム３４にて、ダブルフィルタシガレットは中央を切断されて２本のフィルタシガレット（後加工品）とされる。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the double filter cigarette formed by the second drum 5 is transferred to the deselecting drum 33. The de-selecting drum 33 is for reducing the rotational speed of subsequent drums in order to stabilize the work (for example, quality inspection) performed on various drums delivered thereafter. Then, the double filter cigarette is delivered to the final cutting drum 34. In the final cutting drum 34, the center of the double filter cigarette is cut into two filter cigarettes (post-processed products).
　フィルタシガレットはさらにシガレットセパレーティングドラム３５へと受け渡され、その位置が調整される。そしてエンドスキャナードラム３６へ受け渡され、不良品検査が行われる。ここでの検査は例えば刻みの充填具合等を確認するための先落ち検査や断面検査である。そしてさらにインスペクションドラム３７へ受け渡され、さらに検査される。ここでの検査は例えば巻紙の破れなどの品質検査が行われる。 The filter cigarette is further transferred to the cigarette separating drum 35 and its position is adjusted. Then, it is delivered to the end scanner drum 36, where defective products are inspected. The inspection here is, for example, a tip-down inspection or a cross-sectional inspection for confirming the filling condition of the nicks. Then, it is delivered to the inspection drum 37 and further inspected. The inspection here is, for example, a quality inspection such as tearing of a wrapping paper.
　この後フィルタシガレットはさらに種々のドラムに受け渡され、そのたびにドラム間を通過するが、上述したドラム３３から３７に加え、その後のドラム間に形成された搬送通路においても、カプセル２や中空部分を潰さないようにするための拡径部を設けることができる。 Thereafter, the filter cigarette is further transferred to various drums and passes between the drums each time. In addition to the drums 33 to 37 described above, the capsule 2 and the hollow are also formed in the transport passage formed between the drums. An enlarged diameter part can be provided so as not to crush the part.
