Embodiment Construction

[0025] figure 1 The drum conveyor 1 shown in includes a drum 2 adapted to rotate about an axis of rotation X, said drum 2 having on its outer periphery a plurality of grooves 3 for conveying rod-shaped articles 4 transversely along the axis of the articles 4, wherein the Said groove 3 is positioned parallel to the axis of rotation X of the cartridge 2 . figure 1 The rod article 4 is shown in the form of a multi-segment rod, in other words it is a set of rod articles joined with a common cladding material. Multisegment Stick 4, also shown on Image 6 , is constructed from alternately positioned rod-shaped articles 4A, 4B and 4B' (half of article 4B), and is clad with a common cladding material 25 . The device according to the invention can also be used for a set of several rod-shaped articles not coated with common covering materials ( image 3 ), such as a set 30 comprising a tobacco rod 31, a filter rod 32 and a tobacco rod 31, and two cigarettes will be produced from such...

Abstract

The application provides a device (1, 1') for axially centering a rod-shaped article (4, 4') or a set (30) of rod-shaped articles (4, 4') or The group (30) of rod-like products is conveyed in grooves (3) located on the outer periphery of the drum conveyor (2), and the length of the products (4, 4') or each of the groups (30) The total length of the product can vary, said device has a pusher element (5) acting on said rod-shaped product (4,4') or said group (30) of rod-shaped products, said device is characterized in that the movement mechanism ( 13) said pusher elements (5) are driven by a common drive unit (24, 24') and are connected in such a way that the force exerted by said drive unit (24, 24') is distributed to said pusher elements (5) so as to act axially on said rod-shaped article (4, 4') or said set (30) of rod-shaped articles. The object of the present application is also a method for axial centering of said rod-shaped article (4) or said group (30) of rod-shaped articles, wherein said rod-shaped article (4, 4') or said group (30) Rod-shaped products are conveyed in said grooves (3) located on the outer periphery of said drum conveyor (2) by means of said pusher elements (5), and said products (4, 4') have a length or the total length of the articles in said group (30) can vary, said method is characterized in that the force exerted by said drive unit (24) is distributed to said pusher elements of said movement mechanism (13) (5) so as to act axially on said rod-shaped article (4, 4') or said set (30) of rod-shaped articles.

Description

technical field [0001] The object of the invention is a device for centering a rod-shaped product or a group of rod-shaped products. Background technique [0002] Often in the tobacco industry a cylinder conveyor is used for conveying rod-shaped products, on the outer periphery of which cylinder conveyor is provided with a plurality of grooves positioned parallel to the axis of rotation of the conveyor. A rod-shaped product is understood to mean a filter rod manufactured from a single type of filter material in the tobacco industry, any rod-shaped product and semi-finished product, said rod-shaped product including a multi-segment filter rod comprising a plurality of filter segments, a filter rod comprising a plurality of filter segments Multi-segment filter rods and additional components for altering or imparting aroma to said products, multi-segment filter rods containing a plurality of filter segments and additional items for modifying the filtering properties of the filt...
