Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring rod-shaped articles, in particular cigarettes, from a longitudinal conveyor for longitudinal axial promotion of Article on a cross conveyor for Queraxialen promotion of the article, the Transport directions of the longitudinal conveyor and the cross conveyor transversely to each other run, comprising a conveyor with receptacles for receiving a plurality of articles from the longitudinal conveyor and for delivering the recorded items on the cross conveyor.
  • the invention relates to a method for transferring rod-shaped articles, in particular cigarettes, from a longitudinal conveyor for longitudinal axial promotion of Article on a cross conveyor for Queraxialen promotion of the article, the Transport directions of the longitudinal conveyor and the cross conveyor transversely to each other comprising the steps of: receiving a plurality of rod-shaped articles from Longitudinal conveyor by means of a conveyor, rotating the conveyor and thus Move the article by a predetermined angle, and submit the article to the Cross conveyor.
  • Such devices and methods are particularly useful in the tobacco processing industry used. Become in a cigarette rod machine Strands made of tobacco, usually in single or double-length Tobacco sticks are cut up. The tobacco stems are conveyed in their longitudinal direction and for further processing, e.g. to attach a filter, to a Filter attachment be handed over. For this purpose, the tobacco stumps usually from its longitudinal axial transport direction in a transverse axial transport direction be transferred, the transport directions even across each other run.
  • Another object of the invention is a simple and flexible method for to propose efficient transfer of rod-shaped articles.
  • the conveyor comprises a single drum with multiple receptacles for simultaneously receiving a plurality of articles from the longitudinal conveyor, wherein
  • any recording for the simultaneous recording of four articles and the Delivery of the article is formed in two groups of two.
  • both transfer drums of the Cross conveyor or its axes of rotation above the path of the longitudinal conveyor arranged resulting in an advantageous operating height. Furthermore, that is Lifting the article from the longitudinal conveyor from the top technically / constructively easier and also safer than a shot from below or from the side.
  • the object is achieved by a method with the aforementioned Steps solved in that several juxtaposed articles, all on a web of the longitudinal conveyor, are received, and the Items are delivered in groups to several separate tracks of the cross conveyor become. This procedure makes a powerful handover in a compact and ensures a flexible shape.
  • the device shown serves for transferring articles from a longitudinal conveyor a cigarette rod machine on a cross conveyor.
  • the device 10 comprises a conveying means 11, which is also referred to as a spider, wherein the spider has a drum 12.
  • the drum 12 has in a conventional form several shots 13 on.
  • Each of the recordings 13 is for the simultaneous recording of four longitudinally axially on a web 14 of a longitudinal conveyor 15 in the transport direction (arrow 16) conveyed article 17 formed.
  • the web 14 is shown in FIG Embodiment a flat track. However, it can also be used in other forms, e.g. when be formed curved or stepped / offset height track.
  • the pictures 13 each have four well elements 18, which are for receiving and holding the Article 17 are formed during transport.
  • the trough elements 18 are for example e.g. connected to (not shown) Saug Kunststoff Oberen or the like.
  • trough elements 18 are parallel next to each other and evenly spaced arranged to one another on an arm 19, which in turn on a rotary body 20th is preferably releasably attached.
  • Several of the rotary body 20 with the corresponding arms 19 and arranged on the arms 19 receptacles 13 are evenly distributed over the circumference of the drum 12.
  • Preferred is a number of seven to nine rotational bodies 20 and arms 19.
  • the axes of rotation 21 of Rotational body 20 are parallel but offset from the axis of rotation 22 of the drum 12.
  • the rotation axes 21 extend eccentrically to the respective rotation body 20, in such a way that the rotary bodies 20 describe an elliptical trajectory.
  • the Drum 12 and the longitudinal conveyor 15 are in the region of a receiving position 36 in Active connection with each other.
  • the rotary bodies 20 are movable relative to the drum 12, so that a superimposed Movement of the rotary body 20 to the drum 12 is possible.
  • the Receivers 13 or the depression elements 18 are the Receivers 13 or the depression elements 18 with the "adhering" articles 17 at least during transport from picking up to delivering parallel to one kept horizontal level.
  • a transverse conveyor 23 for removing the articles 17 from the drum 12 is arranged, wherein the transport direction (arrow 24) of the transverse conveyor 23 transversely to the transport direction (Arrow 16) of the longitudinal conveyor 15 extends.
  • the cross conveyor 23 comprises two Takeover drums 25, 26, the tracks 27, 28 for transporting the article 17 form.
  • Both transfer drums 25, 26 are in operative connection with the drum 12, in the area of a discharge position 37 or 38.
  • the transfer drum 25 has receptacles 29, 30. Several shots 29, 30 are evenly distributed over the circumference, with fixed Receivers 29 and movable receptacles 30 are arranged alternately. The movable receptacles 30 are seconded to this pivoting levers 31.
  • One each fixed receptacle 29 and a movable receptacle 30 form a unit for Inclusion of an article group.
  • the transfer drum 26 has exclusively over movable recordings 30, which are also distributed over the circumference.
  • the Receivers 30 are in turn arranged on pivot levers 31, wherein the length of the Pivoting lever 31 on the transfer drum 26 and thus the swivel range the same is greater than in the takeover drum 25.
  • the axes of rotation 21 of the rotary body 20 and the axis of rotation 22 of the drum 12 extend transversely to the transport direction (arrow 16) of the longitudinal conveyor 15 and in Transport direction (arrow 24) of the cross conveyor 23.
  • Both transfer drums 25, 26 or their axes of rotation 32, 33 are above the web 14 of the longitudinal conveyor 15th
  • the axes of rotation 32, 33 are aligned with each other and extend transversely to the axis of rotation 12 of the drum 12 and in the transport direction (arrow 16) of the Longitudinal conveyor 15.
  • the transfer drums 25, 26 are shown in the Embodiment opposite drivable or driven.
  • the takeover drums 25, 26 are arranged with respect to the drum 12, that a first Abgabeposition 37 after a rotation angle of the drum 12 of 90 ° and a second Dispensing position 38 after a rotation angle of the drum 12 of another 180 °, ie 270 ° from the receiving position 36 of the article 17 is formed.
  • the longitudinal conveyor 15 is in the transport direction (arrow 16) in front of the conveyor 11 a Separating element 34 assigned.
  • the separating element 34 serves to separate the articles 17 of strands 35 made in an upstream machine.
  • Trough elements 18 may be arranged on a receptacle 13. Also exists the Possibility, the number of rotation elements 20 and thus the arms 19 and the Shots 13 to vary. The takeover drums 25, 26 can also below the Track 14 may be arranged.
  • a first article group consisting of two articles 17, is transferred to the transfer drum 26 at a first delivery position 37, the articles 17 being placed in two movable receptacles 30 for this purpose.
  • the second article group preferably also consisting of two articles 17, is transferred in the region of the dispensing position 38 into a fixed receptacle 29 and a movable receptacle 30 to the take-over drum 25.
  • the continuously rotating transfer drums 25, 26 then transport the articles 17 in the transverse-axial direction for further processing. In the same way and continuously four articles 17 are passed through the plurality of receptacles 13 of the conveyor 11 from the longitudinal conveyor 15 to the cross conveyor 23.
