Definitions

the invention relates to a method for producing smoking article components from in each case a plurality of article segments, in particular at least three or more than three article segments.
WO 2014/064655 A2 discloses a method and a machine for producing multi-component cigarettes.
This object is achieved by a method for producing smoking article products from a plurality of article segments, in particular at least three or more than three article segments, wherein a first article segment group is formed or provided with several, especially more than two or more than three, article segments, the first Article segment group is cross-axially or is wrapped and is wrapped by a wrapping material strip, wherein the first wrapped article segment group is cut centrally and into two article segment subgroups, each with the same number of article segments, and then the cross-axially promoted article segment subgroups turned by a turning device in each case by 180 ° so that the ends of the wrapped article segment subgroups initially facing each other are facing each other after turning, with at least one further article segment inserted between the reversing ends of the article segment subgroups and the at least one further article segment with the outer article subgroups by wrapping with a wrapping material strip to a second article segment group, and wherein from the second article segment group at least one smoking article product is or is formed.
the formed, wrapped article segment groups are each cut centrally, exact, straight edges are produced at the ends of the finished smoking article products, so that the two cleanly cut outer product ends contribute to an improvement in the product quality in the further processing of the smoking article products.
the rod-shaped smoking article products are designed, for example, as multi-segment filters or multifilters.
the smoking article products each have a plurality, in particular different, filter segments and additionally a segment with a consumable substance for a smoker, such as a flavoring.
the first article segment group is provided with at least three article segments, wherein the middle article segment is cut centrally after the wrapping of the first article group.
the first article group it is conceivable within the scope of the invention for the first article group to have an even number of article segments, the article segments being arranged symmetrically prior to the wrapping. In particular, in each case at least two article segments of the article segment group and of the article segment subgroup and the second article segment group differ.
the second article segment group preferably in the middle, is cut into two or more than two smoking article products.
the article segments of the first article segment group are arranged symmetrically, in particular to the vertical center plane, before cutting.
the center plane is understood to mean the vertical plane to the longitudinal axis of the first article segment group formed, with the middle of the length of the article segment group lying in the vertical plane.
the first article segment group has an even number of article segments, in particular before cutting.
the article segments are arranged symmetrically to the center plane, wherein the cut is made by the first article segment group in the vertical center plane.
the first article segment group has an odd number of article segments, especially before cutting.
the article segments of the first article segment group are also arranged symmetrically to the vertical center plane, wherein after wrapping the first article segment group a central section through the arranged in the middle, preferably twice as long, article segment of the article segment group takes place.
a plurality of article segments are longitudinally spaced axially and subsequently between the longitudinally spaced-apart article segments another or more, especially two, article segments are arranged.
two or four or an even number of article segments are divided in the middle, so that the groups formed on article segments are longitudinally spaced from each other axially, wherein the groups of the article segments have the same number.
the article segments for forming the first article segment group are subsequently applied to the opposite ends of an article segment or a group of article segments, for example on a conveyor drum, whereby the article segments from which the first article segment group is formed, are arranged symmetrically.
the method is characterized in that the article segment subgroups formed from the first article segment groups, after turning, are cross-axial, e.g. be conveyed transaxially on a conveyor drum or other conveyors.
the article segment subgroups are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal axial direction after the application of the article segment subgroups and subsequently one or more article segments are introduced between the longitudinally axially spaced article segment subgroups.
the method is characterized in that the smoking article products formed from the second article segment groups are arranged in a row transverse to one another after the second article segment group has been cut in a further method step.
the smoking article products are further promoted, for example, for further processing on a filter attachment machine, wherein, for example, the device for producing the smoking article, in which the inventive method is performed, is connected to the filter attachment machine, so that the smoking article to the filter tipping machine, preferably transaxially, further promoted.
the orientation of the smoking article products arranged one behind the other in a row is the same.
an advantageous method step is characterized in that the article segments of the smoking article products are formed as filter segments or that the smoking article each have at least one or more filter segments as article segments and at least one article segment with a consumable, especially aromatic and / or tobacco-based product.
the inventive method provides a smoking article product having at least three article segments, wherein the article segment subgroups formed from the first article segment group have at least two article segments.
the manufactured smoking article products have four or more than four article segments, wherein the article segment subgroups formed from the first article segment groups and the smoking articles differ by one article segment.
Fig. 1a In method step A, two filter segments 1 arranged next to one another are provided and further conveyed transaxially. On their further promotion, the filter segments 1 are longitudinally axially spaced apart, so that a gap is formed and in method step B in the gap between the longitudinally spaced filter segments 1 two juxtaposed filter segments 2 are introduced.
the filter segments 1 and the filter segments 2 are respectively transversely, ie conveyed transversely to its central longitudinal axis on conveyor drums or corresponding conveyors.
the group of filter segments compiled in method step C. is arranged mirror-symmetrically to the center plane of the assembled groups of filter segments. Subsequently, the filter segments 1, 2, 3 assembled in method step C are transferred to a further conveyor drum, so that subsequently in method step D the assembled filter segment arrangement of three filter segments are enveloped by a wrapping strip 10 as a first article segment group.
the enveloped filter segment arrangements from method step D are transferred to a cutting drum so that the wrapped filter segment groups are cut centrally on the cutting drum by means of a cutting blade 20 or a corresponding cutting device.
the filter segment groups formed adjacent to each other are simultaneously turned through 180 ° by means of a corresponding turning device.
two filter segments 4 are inserted into the central gap between the filter segment groups and subsequently encased in method step H by a second wrapping strip 30, whereby a second enveloped article segment group is formed.
the material strip 30 envelops the centrally inserted filter segments 4 and a part of the adjacent filter segments 1 of the already enclosed, outer filter segment groups.
the double-length filter segment groups from method step H are conveyed transaxially to a conveyor drum, so that subsequently the double-length filter segment groups are cut centrally as a second article segment group by means of a cutting blade 40 or a corresponding cutting device, so that two symmetrically mutually arranged multi-segment filter 100 are formed in step I.
the multi-segment filters 100 arranged next to one another are formed by method steps and devices to form a series of cross-axially successively arranged multi-segment filters 100 in method step K.
step G a double-length filter segment rod 400 is inserted between the filter segment groups with the filter segments 1, 2, 3 and then encased in process step H with the outer filter segment groups connected to the wrapping strip 30 so that a second article segment group is formed.
step E the double-length filter segment rod 400 is cut into single-length filter segments 4 by means of the cutting blade 40, wherein two multi-segment filters 100 are produced as smoking article products through the central cut.
a double-length filter segment rod 300 is arranged in the gap between the symmetrically arranged groups of the filter segments 1 and 2, so that subsequently in step D of the double-long segment rod 300 together with the outer filter segments 1 and 2 from the wrapping strip 10 to a the first item segment group is wrapped and subsequently cut into filter segments 3 in method step E by means of the cutting blade 20.
the further method steps F to K correspond to those in Fig. 1a shown method steps.
Fig. 2a In method steps A, two separate filter segments 1 arranged next to one another are provided and conveyed in the transverse-axial direction.
method step B two longitudinally spaced-apart filter segments 2 are then arranged and further conveyed at the outer free ends of the two filter segments 1, so that in method step C, the outer free ends of the filter segments 2 each have a filter segment 3 is applied.
method step D the filter segment group compiled in method step C is enveloped by a wrapping strip 10, so that a first wrapped article segment group is formed and subsequently in process step E by means of a cutting knife 20 or the like the wrapped filter segment group is formed into two equal and symmetrically arranged article segment subgroups.
method step I the entire second article segment group is cut centrally so that two multi-segment filters 100 with four different segments are formed.
method step K a series of mutually identically oriented multi-segment filters 100 is formed, which are provided for a further processing process, for example on a filter attachment machine.
the further method steps F to K correspond to the method steps F to K according to FIG Fig. 2a ,
