Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zum Fördern von stabförmigen Artikeln der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere Zigaretten, mit wenigstens einer Fördertrommel und einer Entnahmetrommel, die zum Festhalten von Artikeln mit jeweils einem Haltevakuum beaufschlagbar sind. The invention relates to a method for conveying rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, especially cigarettes, the items on a Conveyor drum can be held by means of a holding vacuum and in the event of removal, an article in a transfer area is handed over to a removal drum. Further The invention relates to a device for conveying rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing industry, especially cigarettes, with at least one conveyor drum and a removal drum that is used to hold on of articles with a holding vacuum each are.
Im weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Maschine der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere Filteransetzmaschine.The invention further relates to a machine of tobacco processing industry, in particular filter attachment machine.
Unter stabförmigen Artikeln der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie werden im vorliegenden Zusammenhang solche Gegenstände verstanden, die in einlagiger Reihe mittels Saugluft auf Förderern, wie bspw. auf Fördertrommeln in Zigarettenherstellungsmaschinen, gehalten und von diesen gefördert werden. Solche Artikel sind Filterzigaretten, Zigarren, Zigarillos, Filterstäbe usw. Wenn im folgenden der Einfachheit halber nur noch von Zigaretten gesprochen wird, so gilt das Gesagte ganz entsprechend auch für andere zu fördernde Artikel der vorgenannten Artikel.Among rod-shaped articles of the tobacco processing Industry becomes such in the present context Understand objects in a single-layer row Suction air on conveyors, such as on conveyor drums in Cigarette making machines, held and by these be promoted. Such articles are filter cigarettes, Cigars, cigarillos, filter sticks etc. If in the following for the sake of simplicity only spoken of cigarettes the same applies accordingly for other articles of the aforementioned articles to be funded.
In einer Zigarettenmaschine werden Zigaretten in einlagiger Reihe quer zu ihrer Achsrichtung auf Fördertrommeln, bei denen es sich in erster Linie um Trommeln von Zigarettenherstellungsmaschinen bzw. Filteransetzmaschinen handelt, mit Saugluft gehalten. Hierzu weisen die Fördertrommeln in ihrer Umfangsfläche Saugluftöffnungen auf, die mit einer Unterdruckquelle in Verbindung stehen. Die Übergabe von Zigaretten von einem ersten Förderer zum nächsten erfolgt in der Regel dadurch, daß im jeweiligen abgebenden, ersten Förderer die Halteluft im Übergabebereich unterbrochen wird, während die Halteluft beim jeweils aufnehmenden, zweiten Förderer eingeschaltet ist. Für den Fall einer normalen Übergabe von einer Fördertrommel auf die nachfolgende Trommel sind zur Unterbrechung der Halteluft in dem den Übergabebereich bildenden Umfangsabschnitt des ersten Förderers in seinem Inneren feststehende Steuersegmente angeordnet, welche die Saugluftöffnungen des Förderers in diesem Abschnitt abdecken und dadurch vom Unterdruck trennen.In a cigarette machine, cigarettes become single-layered Row across their axis on conveyor drums, which are primarily drums from Cigarette making machines or filter attaching machines acts, held with suction air. The Conveyor drums in their peripheral surface suction air openings on in connection with a vacuum source stand. The handover of cigarettes from a first one Conveyor to the next is usually done in that the holding air in the respective delivering first conveyor is interrupted in the transfer area while the Holding air at the respective receiving second conveyor is switched on. In the event of a normal handover from a conveyor drum to the subsequent drum are to interrupt the holding air in the transfer area forming peripheral portion of the first conveyor fixed control segments inside arranged which the suction air openings of the conveyor cover in this section and thereby from negative pressure separate.
Im Dokument Research Disclosure June 1978, 17011, ist eine Vorrichtung zum schonenden Aussondern von stabförmigen Artikeln der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie beschrieben, wobei in einem Überführungsbereich einem Förderer eine steuerbare Druckluftzuführung zugeordnet ist, so daß ein auszusondernder Artikel mittels eines Druckluftimpulses aus einer Aufnahme des Förderers in eine Aufnahme eines Abförderers überführbar ist. Im Übergabebereich ist im ersten Förderer eine Drossel zur Reduzierung des Haltevakuums ausgebildet, so daß eine Zigarette mit Druckluft gegen den reduzierten Unterdruck in den Haltebohrungen der abgebenden Trommel abgeblasen wird.In Research Disclosure June 1978, 17011 a device for the gentle separation of rod-shaped Described articles of the tobacco processing industry, being in a transfer area Conveyor assigned a controllable compressed air supply is, so that an article to be discarded by means of a Compressed air pulse from a recording of the conveyor in a pick-up of a conveyor can be transferred. in the Transfer area is a throttle in the first conveyor Reduction of the holding vacuum trained so that a Cigarette with compressed air against the reduced vacuum blown off in the holding holes of the dispensing drum becomes.
In der Patentschrift US-4 452 255 der Anmelderin ist eine Zigarettenübergabe von einer Trommel auf eine nachfolgende Trommel offenbart. Zur Zigarettenübergabe wird auf der ersten Trommel das Haltevakuum abgeschaltet. Soll eine defekte oder Zigarette zur Probenentnahme auf der ersten Trommel verbleiben, so wird Druckluft aus der aufnehmenden Mulde an die abgebende Mulde geblasen, und somit das Haltevakuum in der abgebenden Mulde reduziert. Gleichzeitig wird aus der gleichen Druckluftquelle Druckluft zu einem Injektor geführt, der in der abgebenden Mulde der ersten Trommel einen Unterdruck erzeugt, so daß die Zigarette während der Weiterförderung in der abgebenden Mulde verbleibt.In the applicant's patent US-4,452,255 a handover of cigarettes from a drum to one subsequent drum disclosed. For handing over cigarettes the holding vacuum is switched off on the first drum. Should a defective or cigarette for sampling remain on the first drum, so compressed air is emitted blown from the receiving trough to the dispensing trough, and thus the holding vacuum in the emitting trough reduced. At the same time, the same compressed air source Compressed air led to an injector that is in a negative pressure in the emptying trough of the first drum generated so that the cigarette during further conveyance remains in the emitting depression.
In der europäischen Patentschrift EP-B-0 584 774 ist eine Zigarettenübergabe von einem Muldenförderer auf eine Probeentnahmetrommel beschrieben. Hierbei ist der Unterdruck der aufnehmenden Mulde der Probenentnahmetrommel größer als der Unterdruck der abgebenden Mulde des Trommelförderers.In European patent EP-B-0 584 774 a cigarette handover from a trough conveyor described a sampling drum. Here is the Negative pressure of the receiving trough of the sampling drum greater than the negative pressure of the emitting trough of the drum conveyor.
Nachteilig bei der Entnahme einer Zigarette aus dem Produktionsstrom ist, daß die Zigarette, die entnommen werden soll, mit Druckluft angeblasen wird, so daß die Zigarette durch die Druckluft beschleunigt wird und aus der abgebenden Mulde fliegt und auf der aufnehmenden Mulde der Entnahmetrommel landet. Diese Entnahme läßt sich nur sehr schwer und nur für eine vorbestimmte Drehzahl der Trommeln einstellen. Darüber hinaus wird die Zigarette mechanisch stark belastet und u.U. deformiert, so daß sie für eine anschließende Qualitätsüberprüfung ungeeignet ist.Disadvantageous when removing a cigarette from the Production flow is that the cigarette that is taken should be blown with compressed air, so that the Cigarette is accelerated by the compressed air and out the emitting hollow flies and on the receiving one The trough of the removal drum lands. This removal leaves very difficult and only for a predetermined Set the speed of the drums. Beyond that the cigarette is mechanically stressed and may deformed, so that it can be used for a subsequent quality check is unsuitable.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine schonende Übergabe bei Entnahme von Zigaretten aus dem Produktionsstrom zu ermöglichen.Based on this state of the art, it is a task the present invention, a gentle handover Removal of cigarettes from the production stream enable.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mittels eines Verfahrens der eingangs genannten Art, das dadurch weitergebildet ist, daß im Entnahmefall das Haltevakuum an der Fördertrommel aufgehoben wird und ein Haltevakuum an der Entnahmetrommel angelegt wird. Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Gedanken, daß das Haltevakuum der Fördertrommel bei Übergabe einer Zigarette an eine Entnahmetrommel kompensiert wird, so daß eine schonende stichprobenartige Zigarettenentnahme aus der laufenden Produktion realisiert wird. Im Übergabepunkt bzw. im Übergabebereich ist die entsprechende Aufnahmemulde für eine Zigarette mit Saugluft beaufschlagt. Bei Entnahme einer Zigarettenprobe wird das nach wie vor vorhandene und angelegte Haltevakuum kompensiert, so daß die Zigarette nicht mehr in der Aufnahmemulde festgehalten wird. This problem is solved by means of a method of type mentioned above, which is further developed by that in the event of removal, the holding vacuum on the conveyor drum is lifted and a holding vacuum on the removal drum is created. The invention is based on the Thoughts that the holding vacuum of the conveyor drum Transfer of a cigarette to a removal drum compensated is, so that a gentle sample-like Cigarette removal from ongoing production implemented becomes. In the transfer point or in the transfer area the corresponding recess for a cigarette Suction air applied. When taking a cigarette sample it will still exist and be created Holding vacuum compensated so that the cigarette no longer is held in the receiving trough.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß im Nicht-Entnahmefall das Haltevakuum der Entnahmetrommel aufgehoben wird, so daß die Zigaretten auf der Fördertrommel verbleiben. Eine schonende Entnahme einer Zigarette kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß an der aufnehmenden Mulde der Entnahmetrommel ein Haltevakuum angelegt ist und gleichzeitig die Kompensation des Haltevakuums abgeschaltet ist. Insgesamt wird dadurch eine schonende Übergabe von Zigaretten an eine Entnahmetrommel realisiert. Im Normalbetrieb, d.h. wenn keine Entnahme einer Zigarette erfolgt, ist die Entnahmetrommel z.B. mit einem Haltevakuum beaufschlagt, das allerdings kompensiert ist bzw. wird.In a development of the invention it is provided that in the case of non-removal, the holding vacuum of the removal drum is lifted so that the cigarettes on the Conveyor drum remain. A gentle removal of one Cigarette can be achieved in that the receiving trough of the removal drum a holding vacuum is created and at the same time the compensation of the Holding vacuum is switched off. Overall, this will a gentle transfer of cigarettes to a removal drum realized. In normal operation, i.e. if no A cigarette is removed from the drum e.g. with a holding vacuum, but that is compensated.
Bevorzugterweise wird das Haltevakuum an der Entnahmetrommel und an der Fördertrommel mittels Druckluft, insbesondere Druckstoß, aufgehoben.The holding vacuum on the removal drum is preferred and on the conveyor drum using compressed air, in particular pressure surge, canceled.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Druckluft entweder der Entnahmetrommel oder der Fördertrommel zugeführt. Durch die wahlweise Kompensation des angelegten Vakuums an den Trommeln kann je nach Betriebsart - Entnahme bzw. Nicht-Entnahme von Zigaretten - das angelegte Haltevakuum jeweils aufgehoben werden. Dadurch ist nur eine Druckluftquelle erforderlich, die je nach Betriebsart mit der Entnahmetrommel oder der Fördertrommel verbunden wird.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention the compressed air is either the extraction drum or the Conveyor drum fed. Through the optional compensation of the vacuum applied to the drums can vary depending on Operating mode - withdrawal or non-withdrawal of cigarettes - The holding vacuum applied is canceled become. This means that only one compressed air source is required depending on the operating mode with the removal drum or the conveyor drum is connected.
Darüber hinaus ist vorgesehen, daß die Artikel mit Haltevakuum über Saugbohrungen der Fördertrommel oder über Saugbohrungen der Entnahmetrommel beaufschlagt werden.It is also envisaged that the articles with Holding vacuum over suction holes in the conveyor drum or applied through suction holes of the removal drum become.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das an einer einzelnen Aufnahme für einen Artikel angelegte Haltevakuum aufgehoben wird. Dadurch wird immer genau eine Übergabe mit Druckluft versorgt. Die Zigarette im Übergabebereich wird entweder auf der Fördertrommel gehalten oder auf die Entnahmetrommel übergeben.It is particularly advantageous if this is done on an individual Recording for a holding vacuum created for an article will be annulled. This will always be exactly one handover supplied with compressed air. The cigarette in the delivery area is either held on the conveyor drum or on hand over the removal drum.
Eine weitere Lösung der Aufgabe besteht bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art darin, daß bei einer Entnahme eines Artikels mittels der Entnahmetrommel von der Fördertrommel das an der Fördertrommel beaufschlagte Haltevakuum aufhebbar ist.Another solution to the problem is one Device of the type mentioned in that a removal of an article by means of the removal drum from the conveyor drum to the conveyor drum holding vacuum can be released.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist bei Nicht-Entnahme von Artikeln das an der Entnahmetrommel beaufschlagte Haltevakuum aufhebbar.According to a preferred development of the invention if articles are not removed, this is done on the removal drum holding vacuum can be released.
Insbesondere ist das Haltevakuum mit Druckluft, insbesondere Druckstoß, aufhebbar.In particular, the holding vacuum with compressed air, in particular Pressure surge, can be canceled.
Ferner ist die Druckluft entweder der Entnahmetrommel oder der Fördertrommel zuführbar.Furthermore, the compressed air is either the removal drum or can be fed to the conveyor drum.
Um Zigaretten oder dgl. aufzunehmen und zu transportieren, weist die Fördertrommel und/oder die Entnahmetrommel Saugbohrungen zur Beaufschlagung mit Haltevakuum auf.In order to pick up and transport cigarettes or the like, has the conveyor drum and / or the removal drum Suction bores for the application of a holding vacuum on.
Weiterhin ist bei der Vorrichtung erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß an einer einzelnen Artikelaufnahme der Fördertrommel oder der Entnahmetrommel das Haltevakuum aufhebbar ist.Furthermore, the device according to the invention provides that on a single article recording the Conveyor drum or the removal drum the holding vacuum can be canceled.
Zur Kompensation des Haltevakuums in den Trommeln ist eine Druckluftquelle vorgesehen. To compensate for the holding vacuum in the drums a source of compressed air is provided.
Darüber hinaus ist ein Ventil für die Druckluftquelle vorgesehen, um wahlweise die Druckluftquelle mit der Fördertrommel oder der Entnahmetrommel zu verbinden.In addition, there is a valve for the compressed air source provided to selectively connect the compressed air source with the To connect the conveyor drum or the removal drum.
Gelöst wird ferner die Aufgabe durch eine Maschine der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere Filteransetzmaschine, die erfindungsgemäß mit einer der voranstehend beschriebenen Vorrichtung ausgebildet ist.The task is also solved by a machine of tobacco processing industry, in particular filter attachment machine, the invention with one of the above described device is formed.
