Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Förderanordnung für eine Maschine der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, mit einer Fördervorrichtung, die eine Mehrzahl von sich in einer Förderrichtung bewegenden Förderelementen zum Fördern und/oder Vereinzeln eines faserförmigen Produkts aufweist.The invention relates to a conveyor arrangement for a machine of the tobacco processing industry, having a conveying device which has a plurality of conveying elements moving in a conveying direction for conveying and / or separating a fibrous product.

Aus der EP 0 895 721 B1 ist eine rotierende Winnoverwalze am Tabakeinlaß eines Stromtrockners zum Aufbringen eines Konditioniermediums auf das Tabakmaterial bekannt. Bei einigen Tabaksorten kann der Auflockerungseffekt der Winnoverwalze nicht ausreichend sein, was unter Umständen zu einer Verklumpung des Tabaks und zu einer ungleichmäßigen Trocknung des Tabaks führen kann.From the EP 0 895 721 B1 For example, there is known a rotary Winnover roller at the tobacco inlet of a current dryer for applying a conditioning medium to the tobacco material. For some types of tobacco, the loosening effect of the Winnover roller may not be sufficient, which may lead to clumping of the tobacco and uneven drying of the tobacco.

Aus der DE 100 08 961 A1 ist eine Vereinzelungsvorrichtung mit rotierenden Rechen bekannt, wobei aus am Umfang der als Hohlstifte ausgebildeten Rechenzinken angeordneten Luftdüsen Blasluftstrahlen austreten, um den Verteilungseffekt der Rechenzinken zu verstärken.From the DE 100 08 961 A1 a separating device with rotating rake is known, wherein out of the circumference of the formed as a hollow pins computing tines air nozzles escape blast air jets to enhance the distribution effect of the rake tines.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Förderanordnung bereitzustellen, mit der eine verbesserte Vereinzelung der Produktfasern erreicht werden kann.The object of the present invention is to provide a conveyor arrangement with which an improved singulation of the product fibers can be achieved.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe insbesondere dadurch, dass die Förderanordnung im Bereich der Förderelemente mindestens eine feststehende Düse zum Einblasen eines Mediums in Gegenrichtung zu der Förderrichtung aufweist. Das eingeblasene Medium übt eine Vereinzelung der Produktfasern bewirkende Scherkräfte auf das von den Förderelementen mitgenommene Produkt aus.The invention achieves this object in particular in that the conveyor arrangement has at least one stationary nozzle for injecting a medium in the direction of the conveying direction in the region of the conveying elements. The injected medium exerts a separation of the product fibers causing shearing forces on the entrained by the conveyor elements product.

Das eingeblasene Medium kann ein Gasstrom, insbesondere aus Luft, Wasserdampf oder einer Mischung daraus, oder ein anderes geeignetes Medium sein. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann das Medium zum Einsprühen eines Konditioniermediums in flüssiger oder gasförmiger Form oder einer Mischung daraus für das Produkt dienen. Ein bevorzugtes Konditioniermedium ist Wasserdampf. Andere mögliche Konditioniermedien sind beispielsweise Kohlendioxid, in der Tabakindustrie verwendete Aromastoffe, Soßen bestehend aus in Flüssigkeit gelösten Feststoffen wie beispielsweise Zucker, Feuchthaltemittel wie beispielsweise Glykol, oder Reingase wie beispielsweise Stickstoff, oder eine Mischung dieser Medien.The injected medium may be a gas stream, in particular from air, water vapor or a mixture thereof, or another suitable medium. In a preferred Embodiment, the medium may serve for spraying a conditioning medium in liquid or gaseous form or a mixture thereof for the product. A preferred conditioning medium is water vapor. Other possible conditioning media are, for example, carbon dioxide, flavorings used in the tobacco industry, sauces consisting of solids dissolved in liquid, such as sugar, humectants such as glycol, or pure gases such as nitrogen, or a mixture of these media.

Die Fördervorrichtung kann zum Fördern oder zum Vereinzeln des Produkts dienen. Der Begriff Fördervorrichtung umfaßt daher auch eine Vereinzelungsvorrichtung, deren Hauptfunktion in der Vereinzelung der Produktfasern liegt. Die Förderrichtung ist bei einem rotierenden Förderer in der Regel die Umfangsrichtung. Die Austrittsrichtung des aus der Düse austretenden Mediums ist daher im wesentlichen gegen diese Umfangsrichtung gerichtet.The conveyor may serve to convey or singulate the product. The term conveyor therefore also includes a separating device whose main function is the separation of the product fibers. The conveying direction is in a rotating conveyor usually the circumferential direction. The outlet direction of the medium emerging from the nozzle is therefore directed substantially against this circumferential direction.

Die Anordnung der Düse im Bereich der Förderelemente bedeutet, dass das aus der Düse austretende Medium im wesentlichen auf das von den Förderelementen mitgenommene Produkt trifft. Vorzugsweise ist die Düse im Bereich eines freien Endes der Förderelemente angeordnet, um das Produkt unter Umständen von den Förderelementen abzublasen und dadurch die Vereinzelungswirkung zu verbessern.The arrangement of the nozzle in the region of the conveying elements means that the medium emerging from the nozzle essentially hits the product entrained by the conveying elements. Preferably, the nozzle is arranged in the region of a free end of the conveying elements in order to possibly blow off the product from the conveying elements and thereby improve the separating effect.

"Feststehende Düse" bedeutet relativ zu der Förderanordnung bzw. zu einem die Fördervorrichtung umgebenden Gehäuse feststehend. Die Erfindung ist dadurch abgegrenzt gegenüber Düsenöffnungen in den sich bewegenden Förderelementen selbst, wie in der DE 100 08 961 A1 , oder in sich mit den Förderelementen bewegenden Teilen der Fördervorrichtung, wie beispielsweise den Düsen im Walzenkörper der Winnoverwalze gemäß der EP 0 895 721 B1 . Diese bekannten Düsen sind nicht geeignet, die erfindungsgemäße Vereinzelungswirkung der Tabakfasern zu erzielen. Die erfindungsgemäß feststehende Düse kann an einem die Fördervorrichtung umgebenden Gehäuse angeordnet sein; dies ist jedoch nicht zwingend der Fall."Fixed nozzle" means fixed relative to the conveyor assembly or to a surrounding the conveyor housing. The invention is characterized delimited against nozzle openings in the moving conveyor elements themselves, as in the DE 100 08 961 A1 , or in itself with the conveying elements moving parts of the conveying device, such as the nozzles in the roll body of the Winnoverwalze according to the EP 0 895 721 B1 , These known nozzles are not suitable for achieving the inventive singling effect of the tobacco fibers. The present invention fixed nozzle may be arranged on a housing surrounding the conveyor; however, this is not necessarily the case.

Bevorzugt ist die Anwendung der Erfindung auf eine rotierende Fördervorrichtung mit sich radial erstreckenden Förderelementen, um die Vereinzelungswirkung durch die Förderelemente zu verbessern. Die Erfindung ist aber nicht auf rotierende Fördervorrichtungen beschränkt. Denkbar ist beispielsweise auch die Anwendung auf einen linearen Förderer, etwa einen Bandförderer, mit sich über die Breite des Bandes erstreckenden Förderrechen. Bevorzugt ist weiterhin die Anwendung der Erfindung auf eine als Konditioniervorrichtung zum Aufbringen eines Konditioniermediums auf das Produkt ausgebildete Fördervorrichtung.Preferably, the application of the invention to a rotating conveyor with radially extending conveyor elements to the singulation effect by the Improve conveyor elements. The invention is not limited to rotating conveyors. It is also conceivable, for example, the application to a linear conveyor, such as a belt conveyor, with extending over the width of the belt conveyor rake. Furthermore, the application of the invention to a conveying device designed as a conditioning device for applying a conditioning medium to the product is preferred.

Further advantageous features will become apparent from the dependent claims and the following description of advantageous embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows:
  • 1 shows a schematic representation of a conveyor arrangement in the region of a rotating conveyor device.

Eine Förderanordnung 10 umfaßt einen geschlossenen Förderkanal 22 zum Fördern eines bei 24 eintretenden Tabakprodukts 13 durch die Öffnung 18 in einen Stromtrockner 17. In dem Förderkanal 22 ist eine Fördervorrichtung in Form einer rotierenden Winnoverwalze 11 angeordnet. An dem Walzenkörper 16 sind axiale Reihen zinkenförmiger radialer Stifte 12 angeordnet, die rotierende Rechen bilden, um das Tabakprodukt 13 durch mechanische Einwirkung aufzulockern bzw. zu vereinzeln. Die Drehrichtung der Winnoverwalze 11 bildet daher die Förderrichtung F des Tabakprodukts 13 im Bereich der Winnoverwalze 11. Der Walzenkörper 16 und/oder die Stifte 12 können hohl ausgebildet und mit Düsenöffnungen zum Aufbringen eines Konditioniermediums auf das Tabakprodukt versehen sein, wie dies in der EP 0 895 721 B1 und der DE 100 08 961 A1 beschrieben ist.A conveyor assembly 10 comprises a closed conveyor channel 22 for conveying a tobacco product 13 entering at 24 through the opening 18 into a flow dryer 17. In the conveyor channel 22 a conveyor in the form of a rotating Winnover roller 11 is arranged. Arranged on the roller body 16 are axial rows of tine-shaped radial pins 12 which form rotating rakes in order to loosen up or separate the tobacco product 13 by mechanical action. The direction of rotation of the Winnover roller 11 thus forms the conveying direction F of the tobacco product 13 in the area of the Winnover roller 11. The roller body 16 and / or the pins 12 may be hollow and provided with nozzle openings for applying a conditioning medium to the tobacco product, as shown in the EP 0 895 721 B1 and the DE 100 08 961 A1 is described.

Die Winnoverwalze 11 ist von einem einen Teil des Förderkanals 22 bildenden Gehäuse 20 umgeben. An dem Gehäuse 20 sind Düsen 14 angeordnet, durch die ein Gasstrom 15 im wesentlichen tangential in das Innere des Gehäuses 20 eingeblasen wird. Anstelle der gezeigten beiden Düsen 14 kann auch lediglich eine oder eine Mehrzahl von Düsen 14 entlang dem Umfang der Winnoverwalze 11 vorgesehen sein. Die Düsen 14 können als Düsenleiste, d.h. in einem sich über die axiale Breite der Winnoverwalze 11 erstreckenden, axialparallelen Düsenkanal 23 ausgebildet sein. Es kann sich dabei um eine Mehrzahl von über den Düsenkanal 23 erstreckenden Düsen 14 oder um eine oder mehrere längliche, sich über den Düsenkanal 23 erstreckenden Düsen 14 handeln. Der Düsenkanal 23 wird beispielsweise mit Preßluft beaufschlagt, so dass die aus den Düsen 14 austretende Luft einen Luftstrom 15 bildet, der etwa tangential zu der Einhüllenden bzw. dem fiktiven Außenumfang der Winnoverwalze 11 und daher etwa entgegen der Förderrichtung F orientiert ist. Der Luftstrom 15 ist im wesentlichen in den in Fig. 1 gestrichelt dargestellten Bereich gerichtet, der beispielsweise einen Öffnungswinkel von 15° aufweisen kann. Zur Erzeugung dieser gerichteten Gegenströmung können zusätzliche Leitmittel 21, beispielsweise Leitbleche, an der Öffnung der Düsen 14 vorgesehen sein; dies ist jedoch nicht zwingend erforderlich. Der Luftstrom 15 trifft auf das insbesondere von den freien Enden 19 der Stifte 12 mitgenommene Tabakprodukt 13 und übt auf dieses Scherkräfte aus, die eine Auflockerung, Vereinzelung und Vergleichmäßigung der Fasern des Tabakprodukts 13 bewirken. Hierdurch kann eine gleichmäßigere Trocknung des Tabakprodukts 13 in dem Stromtrockner 17 und dadurch ein verbessertes Trocknungsergebnis erzielt werden.The Winnover roller 11 is surrounded by a part of the conveyor channel 22 forming housing 20. On the housing 20, nozzles 14 are arranged, through which a gas flow 15 is blown substantially tangentially into the interior of the housing 20. Instead of the two nozzles 14 shown, only one or a plurality of nozzles 14 may be provided along the circumference of the Winnover roller 11. The nozzles 14 may be formed as a nozzle bar, ie in an axially parallel nozzle channel 23 extending over the axial width of the Winnover roller 11. It can be a A plurality of nozzles 14 extending over the nozzle channel 23 or one or more elongate nozzles 14 extending over the nozzle channel 23. The nozzle channel 23 is acted upon by compressed air, for example, so that the air emerging from the nozzles 14 forms an air stream 15, which is oriented approximately tangentially to the envelope or the fictitious outer circumference of the Winnover roller 11 and therefore approximately counter to the conveying direction F. The air flow 15 is directed substantially in the area shown in dashed lines in Fig. 1, which may for example have an opening angle of 15 °. To produce this directed countercurrent additional guide means 21, for example baffles, may be provided at the opening of the nozzles 14; however, this is not mandatory. The air flow 15 strikes the tobacco product 13 entrained, in particular, by the free ends 19 of the pins 12, and exerts this shear force, which causes loosening, singulation and homogenization of the fibers of the tobacco product 13. In this way, a more uniform drying of the tobacco product 13 in the flow dryer 17 and thereby an improved drying result can be achieved.

Der Luftstrom 15 streicht an der Innenwand des Gehäuses 20 entlang und verhindert dadurch eine Ablagerung von Tabakmaterial an der Innenwand des Gehäuses 20, wodurch als ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung Ausfallzeiten aufgrund erforderlicher Reinigung der Innenwand des Gehäuses 20 verringert werden können.The air stream 15 sweeps along the inner wall of the housing 20 and thereby prevents deposition of tobacco material on the inner wall of the housing 20, which as a further advantage of the invention, downtime due to required cleaning of the inner wall of the housing 20 can be reduced.
