Abstract

When tobacco portions (27) are placed in a casing (3), a holding device moves onto the casing and holds it. The effective part of the holding device is a rounded retention surface, the rounding of which corresponds approximately to that of the casing to be held. The push-in device comprises a trough which contains the tobacco portion, and the length of which corresponds virtually to that of the casing. A mouthpiece (13) with a conical part (14) and a cylindrical part (16) is provided for rounding the somewhat unround open end (15) of a casing. The mechanism ensures that the end of the casing is moved axially.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Füllen von Hülsen mit Rauchmaterial, insbesondere von Hülsen aus Zigarettenpapier mit Schnittabak.The invention relates to a method for filling tubes with smoke material, in particular tubes made of cigarette paper with cut tobacco.

Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem eine Vorrichtung zum Füllen von Hülsen mit Rauchmaterial, insbesondere von Hülsen aus Zigarettenpapier mit Schnittabak.The invention also relates to a device for filling tubes with smoke material, in particular tubes made of cigarette paper with cut tobacco.

Zum Füllen/Stopfen von Hülsen aus Zigarettenpapier mit Schnittabak ist es durch die DE-PS 398 521 bekannt, die auf einer Trommel geförderten leeren Hülsen an einer Füllstation axial auf einen sogenannten "Schnabel" zu schieben, durch den jeweils ein Tabakstrang in eine Hülse eingebracht wird. Danach werden die gefüllten Hülsen wieder zurückgezogen und abgefördert.For filling / stuffing tubes of cigarette paper with cut tobacco, it is known from DE-PS 398 521 to axially push the empty tubes conveyed on a drum at a filling station onto a so-called "beak", through which a tobacco rod is inserted into a tube becomes. The filled sleeves are then withdrawn and removed.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe besteht darin, ein neues Verfahren der Hülsenfüllung und eine dazu geeignete Vorrichtung vorzusehen.
Nach dem Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Hülsen aufeinanderfolgend in Mulden einer Muldentrommel gefördert werden und daß an einer Füllstation ein in eine Hülse eintretendes Einschubmittel eine Tabakportion einbringt und danach wieder aus der Hülse austritt, wonach die gefüllte Hülse abgefördert wird.
Weiterbildungen und weitere Ausgestaltungen des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung sind den untergeordneten Verfahrensansprüchen zu entnehmen.
The object on which the invention is based is to provide a new method of filling the sleeve and a device suitable therefor.
According to the method according to the invention, this object is achieved in that the sleeves are successively conveyed in troughs of a trough drum and in that at a filling station an inserting means introduces a tobacco portion into a sleeve and then exits the sleeve, after which the filled sleeve is removed .
Further developments and further refinements of the method according to the invention can be found in the subordinate method claims.

Die eingangs genannte Vorrichtung ist gekennzeichnet durch eine angetriebene Muldentrommel zum aufeianderfolgenden Fördern der Hülsen zu einer Füllstation, an der ein zum Einbringen von Tabakportionen in eine Hülse eintretendes und danach wieder austretendes Einschubmittel angeordnet ist. Weiterbildungen und weitere Ausgestaltungen der Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung sind den untergeordneten Vorrichtungsansprüchen zu entnehmen.The device mentioned at the outset is characterized by a driven trough drum for successively conveying the sleeves to a filling station, at which an inserting means is inserted for inserting tobacco portions into a sleeve and then exits again. Further developments and further refinements of the device according to the invention can be found in the subordinate device claims.

Die Erfindung weist den Vorteil auf, daß Zigaretten hoher Qualität und Leistung hergestellt werden können, z. B. weil die Hülsen beim Einbringen des Tabaks großflächig in ihren Positionen gehalten werden. Außerdem können deformierte Hülsenenden vor dem Einfüllen des Tabaks wieder gerundet werden.The invention has the advantage that cigarettes of high quality and performance can be produced, e.g. B. because the pods are held in their positions over a large area when the tobacco is introduced. In addition, deformed sleeve ends can be rounded again before the tobacco is filled.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist mit 1 eine taktweise umlaufende Muldentrommel angedeutet, in deren Mulden 2 (von denen nur eine dargestellt ist) Hülsen 3 in queraxialer Richtung zu der dargestellten Füllstation 4 herangefördert werden. Die Hülsen 3 bestehen aus Zigarettenpapier 6 und einem angeklebten Filterstopfen 7.1 and 2, 1 indicates a cyclically rotating bowl drum, in the bowls 2 (of which only one is shown) sleeves 3 are conveyed in the transverse axial direction to the filling station 4 shown. The sleeves 3 consist of cigarette paper 6 and an adhered filter plug 7.

Einzelheiten der Muldentrommel 1 einschließlich ihrer Befüllung mit Hülsen zeigt die DE-Patentanmeldung P 44 33 850.3 der Anmelderin vom 22.09.1994, so daß sie nicht mehr besonders dargestellt zu werden brauchen.Details of the bowl drum 1, including its filling with sleeves, are shown in DE patent application P 44 33 850.3 by the applicant dated September 22, 1994, so that they no longer need to be specifically shown.

Vor der Muldentrommel 1 befindet sich eine Scheibe 8 mit einer Bohrung 9, durch die ein von einem nicht dargestellten Antrieb in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 10 hin- und herbewegbarer Schieber oder Stößel 11 hindurch auf die Filterstopfen 7 der Hülse 3 einwirken kann, um letztere in axialer Rich tung entsprechend Pfeil 12 zu verschieben. Auf der dem Stößel 11 abgewandten Seite der Muldentrommel 1 befindet sich ein Mundstück 13 mit einem konischen Teil 14 und einem anschließenden zylindrischen Teil 16, in die das Hülsenende 15 eintreten kann und deren Zweck später erläutert wird. Der konische Teil 14 hat leicht größeren Durchmesser als die Hülse 3, der zylindrische Teil 16 hat zumindest annähernd den Durchmesser der Hülse 3. Anschließend an das Mundstück 13 befindet sich ein Gehäuse 17 mit Wänden 18, 19, die Durchlässe 21 bzw. 22 zum Durchbewegen eines Einschubmittels für Tabakportionen in Form einer Mulde 23 mit einer Spitze 23a aufweisen. Die Mulde 23 ist an einem Stößel 26 befestigt, der von einem nicht dargestellten Antrieb entsprechend dem Doppelpfeil 24 hin- und herwegbar ist. Die Mulde 23 trägt eine Tabakportion 27 aus Schnittabak, die an der Füllstation 4 in die Hülse 3, d.h. deren Zigarettenpapier 6 eingebracht werden soll, um diese zu füllen/zu stopfen. Die Länge der Mulde 23 entspricht zumindest annähernd der Länge des Zigarettenpapiers 6 der Hülse 3.In front of the bowl drum 1 there is a disc 8 with a bore 9 through which a slide or plunger 11, which can be moved back and forth by a drive (not shown) in the direction of the double arrow 10, can act on the filter plug 7 of the sleeve 3, in order to axially support the latter Rich direction to move arrow 12. On the side of the trough drum 1 facing away from the tappet 11 there is a mouthpiece 13 with a conical part 14 and a subsequent cylindrical part 16, into which the sleeve end 15 can enter and the purpose of which will be explained later. The conical part 14 has a slightly larger diameter than the sleeve 3, the cylindrical part 16 has at least approximately the diameter of the sleeve 3. Following the mouthpiece 13 there is a housing 17 with walls 18, 19, the passages 21 and 22 for moving through have an insertion means for tobacco portions in the form of a trough 23 with a tip 23a. The trough 23 is fastened to a plunger 26 which can be moved back and forth in accordance with the double arrow 24 by a drive (not shown). The trough 23 carries a tobacco portion 27 made from cut tobacco, which at the filling station 4 into the sleeve 3, ie the cigarette paper 6 should be introduced in order to fill / fill it. The length of the recess 23 corresponds at least approximately to the length of the cigarette paper 6 of the sleeve 3.

Einzelheiten der Bildung von Portionen 27 zeigt die DE-Patentanmeldung P 44 33 848.1 vom 22.09.1994, so daß sie nicht mehr besonders dargestellt zu werden brauchen.Details of the formation of portions 27 are shown in DE patent application P 44 33 848.1 dated September 22, 1994, so that they no longer need to be specifically shown.

Figur 2 zeigt zusätzlich eine Halteeinrichtung in Form einer Leiste 28, die um eine Achse 32 schwenkbar ist und an ihrem wirksamen Endbereich 29 eine Haltefläche 31 aufweist. Letztere erstreckt sich senkrecht zur Zeichenfläche über eine Länge, die etwas kürzer als die Länge der Hülse 3 ist (vgl. Figur 3). Die Leiste 28 ist von einem nicht dargestellten Antrieb in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 32 auf die Hülse 3 zu oder von ihr weg bewegbar.FIG. 2 additionally shows a holding device in the form of a strip 28 which can be pivoted about an axis 32 and has a holding surface 31 at its effective end region 29. The latter extends perpendicular to the drawing surface over a length which is somewhat shorter than the length of the sleeve 3 (see FIG. 3). The strip 28 can be moved towards or away from the sleeve 3 by a drive (not shown) in the direction of the double arrow 32.

Die Wirkungsweise der in den Figuren 1 und 2 in der Ausgangslage dargestellten Füllvorrichtung an der Füllstation 4 wird anhand der folgenden Figuren 3 ... 12 beschrieben, wobei das Zigarettenpapier 6 als durchsichtig dargestellt ist.The mode of operation of the filling device at the filling station 4 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in the starting position is described with reference to the following FIGS. 3 ... 12, the cigarette paper 6 being shown as transparent.

In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist dargestellt, wie der Stößel 11, angetrieben von seinem Längsantrieb, durch die Bohrung 9 in der Scheibe 8 in die Mulde 2 der Muldentrommel 1 eingetreten ist, auf den Filterstopfen 7 aufgetroffen ist und diesen entsprechend Pfeil 12 verschoben hat. Das Hülsenende 15 ist dabei durch das Mundstück 13 hindurchgeschoben worden, wobei in dessen konischem Teil 14 etwaige Unrundheiten, z.B. eine ovale Form, gerundet wurden und im zylindrischen Teil 16 eine Stabilisierung des Hülsenendes 15, das sich außerdem an der Kante 36 der Wand 18 abstützt, erreicht wird. Wie insbesondere Figur 4 zeigt, ist die Leiste 28 von ihrem nicht dargestellten Antrieb entsprechend Pfeil 37 um die Achse 33 nach unten geschwenkt, so daß ihre Haltefläche 31 beim Verschieben der Hülse 3 entsprechend Pfeil 12 als Führungsfläche wirkt.
In Figur 3 ist die Überdeckungsfläche von 31 und deren Länge in axialer Richtung ersichtlich.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show how the plunger 11, driven by its longitudinal drive, has entered the trough 2 of the trough drum 1 through the bore 9 in the disk 8, has hit the filter plug 7 and has shifted it according to arrow 12 . The sleeve end 15 has been pushed through the mouthpiece 13, with any out-of-roundness, for example an oval shape, being rounded in the conical part 14 and a stabilization of the sleeve end 15 in the cylindrical part 16, which is also supported on the edge 36 of the wall 18 , is achieved. How in particular Figure 4 shows, the bar 28 is pivoted downward by its drive, not shown, according to arrow 37 about the axis 33, so that its holding surface 31 acts as a guide surface when the sleeve 3 is moved in accordance with arrow 12.
FIG. 3 shows the overlap area of 31 and its length in the axial direction.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen den Beginn eines Füllvorganges, durch den die in der Mulde 23 befindliche Tabakportion 27 in die Hülse 3, genauer deren Papierteil 6, eingebracht wird. Hierzu bewegt der nicht dargestellte Antrieb den Stößel 26 und damit die Mulde 23 entsprechend dem Pfeil 38, so daß die Mulde 23 zusammen mit der von ihr getragenen Tabakportion 27 in den Hülsenteil 6 eintreten kann. Die Haltefläche 31 der Leiste 28 liegt an der Hülse 3 an und stabilisiert diese beim Eintritt der Mulde 23.FIGS. 5 and 6 show the beginning of a filling process through which the tobacco portion 27 located in the trough 23 is introduced into the sleeve 3, more precisely the paper part 6 thereof. For this purpose, the drive, not shown, moves the plunger 26 and thus the trough 23 according to the arrow 38, so that the trough 23 can enter the sleeve part 6 together with the tobacco portion 27 carried by it. The holding surface 31 of the strip 28 lies against the sleeve 3 and stabilizes it when the trough 23 enters.

Die Figuren 7 und 8 zeigen den weitgehend abgeschlossenen Füllvorgang. Die Mulde 23 ist soweit in die Hülse 3, d.h. deren Papierteil 6, eingetreten, daß ihre Spitze 23a den Filterstopfen 7 von innen berührt und ihn, d.h. die gesamte Hülse 3, bei weiterer Bewegung in Richtung des Pfeils 38 in die in Figur 1 ersichtliche Ausgangsposition verschiebt. Der Stößel 11 wird von seinem Antrieb in Richtung des Pfeils 39 aus der Mulde 2 herausbewegt. Die Leiste 28 wird von ihrem Antrieb entsprechend Pfeil 41 angehoben und damit die Fläche 31 außer Berührung mit der Hülse 3 gebracht.Figures 7 and 8 show the largely completed filling process. The trough 23 is so far in the sleeve 3, i.e. whose paper part 6 has occurred that its tip 23a touches the filter plug 7 from the inside and it, i.e. the entire sleeve 3, with further movement in the direction of arrow 38 moves into the starting position shown in FIG. 1. The plunger 11 is moved out of the trough 2 by its drive in the direction of the arrow 39. The strip 28 is raised by its drive in accordance with arrow 41 and thus the surface 31 is brought out of contact with the sleeve 3.

Die Figuren 9 und 10 zeigen den abgeschlossenen Füllvorgang. Die Mulde 23 und damit die Hülse 3 sind nunmehr in ihren Endstellungen, bezogen auf die Bewegungsrichtung entsprechend Pfeil 38, so daß auch die Tabakportion 27 sich in der Hülse 3 befindet. Die Leiste 28 ist an ihrem Antrieb entsprechend Pfeil 37 nach unten bewegt, so daß ihre Fläche 31 in Kontakt mit der Hülse 3 ist und beim anschließenden Austreten der Mulde 23 aus der Hülse 3 letztere hält und stabilisiert.Figures 9 and 10 show the completed filling process. The trough 23 and thus the sleeve 3 are now in their end positions, based on the direction of movement according to arrow 38, so that the tobacco portion 27 is in the Sleeve 3 is located. The strip 28 is moved downward on its drive according to arrow 37, so that its surface 31 is in contact with the sleeve 3 and holds and stabilizes the latter when the trough 23 subsequently emerges from the sleeve 3.

Die Figuren 11 und 12 zeigen die Füllvorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung mit entsprechendem Pfeil 42 aus der Hülse 3 entfernter Mulde 23, die sich wieder in ihrer Ausgangsstellung befindet, in der ihr eine neue Tabakportion zugeführt wird. Als letztes wird die Leiste 28 entsprechend Pfeil 43 in ihre aus Figur 2 ersichtliche Stellung bewegt.Figures 11 and 12 show the filling device according to the invention with a corresponding arrow 42 from the sleeve 3 removed trough 23, which is again in its starting position, in which a new portion of tobacco is fed to it. Finally, the bar 28 is moved according to arrow 43 into its position shown in FIG. 2.

Damit ist ein Füllvorgang während der Stillstandszeit zwischen zwei Förderschritten durchgeführt. Die fertige mit Tabak gefüllte Filterzigarette wird in einem Förderschritt aus der Füllstation 4 entfernt und im gleichen Förderschritt eine neue leere Hülse zugefördert, die dann auf die beschriebene Weise mit einer neuen Tabakportion gefüllt wird.A filling process is thus carried out between two conveying steps during the downtime. The finished tobacco-filled filter cigarette is removed from the filling station 4 in one conveying step and a new empty tube is conveyed in the same conveying step, which is then filled with a new tobacco portion in the manner described.
