Device for Feeding of batches of rod-shaped items for the tobacco industry from buffer to downstream unit and transfer device with such device

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (10), designed and arranged for automatic and portionwise feeding rod-shaped articles (11) of the tobacco processing industry from a magazine (12) to a downstream unit (13), comprising one of channel walls (14) and after upwardly and downwardly open feed channel (15) in which a locking element (16) is arranged, which is about a pivot axis S1 from a locking position in which the feeding of the articles (11) to the downstream unit (13) is prevented in a passage position in which the feeding of the articles (11) to the downstream unit (13) is made possible and pivotable back, the blocking element (16) comprising a flap element (17) and the free end (18) of the flap element (16). 17) associated sealing element (19), which is characterized in that the sealing element (19) comprises a first roller element (20) which in the region of the free end (18) of the flap element (17 ) is rotatably mounted and formed with this movable. The invention also relates to atransfer device (36) with such a device (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device constructed and arranged for the automatic and compositional supply of rod-shaped products for the tobacco processing industry from a storage room to a downstream unit, the device comprising a supply channel formed by channel walls and open upwards and downwards , a blocking element is arranged in the supply channel, the blocking element is configured so as to be able to rotate around the pivot axis S 1 Moving back and forth from a blocking position, in which the supply of products to the lower unit is prevented, to a passing position, in which the supply of products to the lower unit is enabled, wherein the blocking element comprises a gate element and a sealing element assigned to the free end of the gate element. [0002] Furthermore, the invention comprises a transfer device for transferring rod-shaped products of the tobacco processing industry from a storage room to a conveying line, the transfer device comprising ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Secondly, the sealing lip is deformed, whereby the failure rate with respect to the clamped product and the horizontal product increases, and it is difficult to adjust the shutter element or the sealing lip into a defined position

A further disadvantage of the known solutions is that, on the one hand, the steep, almost vertical walls of the feed channel, which are correspondingly configured for as simple as possible feeding of the products to the downstream unit, make the blocking process difficult because the lock with the sealing element The element needs to push the article up a steep wall; on the other hand, after closing the shutter element, a free space appears below the shutter element, so that the rod-shaped articles can be moved / arranged freely, losing their original order / orientation
