Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a transfer device for the tobacco processing industry. This invention relates to a machine for transferring rod-shaped articles from a strangmaschine to a combining machine in the tobacco processing industry. In the strangmaschine, the rod-shaped articles are conveyed in a direction corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the articles. In the combining machine, the rod-shaped articles are conveyed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the articles. The invention also relates to a machine for the tobacco processing industry. Background Technology

[0002] A device for manipulating or transporting elongated objects (such as cigarettes or cigars) is known from EP 1 164 878 B1, having multiple recessed receiving portions for each object. This device (also referred to as a spinne) is used, for example, to move cigarettes or other rod-shaped products from along an axial direction. The direction of movement is shifted to a direction transverse to the axial direction, wherein the axial direction of movement is along the longitudinal axis of the rod-shaped article, and the direction transverse to the axial direction of movement is transverse to, and in particular perpendicular to, the longitudinal axis of the rod-shaped article. After the rod-shaped articles are fed from the wheel into the device for transversely conveying the rod-shaped articles in the axial direction, these rod-shaped articles are usually combined sequentially with other rod-shaped articles in the longitudinal axis, and wrapping material is wrapped around these articles. Thus, for example in a so-called MAX, a filter section of double the length of use is inserted between two tobacco sticks and wrapped with covering paper, and then a cut is performed through the center of the double-length filter section, causing one of the two filtered cigarettes to rotate 180°, the filtered cigarette is tested and inspected accordingly, and then it is fed into the mass stream. This MAX (which may also be called a combination machine) is usually perpendicular to the bar-making machine from which the bar-shaped articles are cut. The transfer from the bar-making machine to the combination machine is achieved, in particular, by means of a so-called wheel.

[0003] An arrangement of a tobacco processing machine is known from EP 0 641 524 B1, wherein the different components of the machine are arranged in a 180° configuration. That is, a strip is first formed in one direction, and rod-shaped articles are cut from the strip so that these rod-shaped articles are then transferred by means of a transfer device to a transverse conveyor that finally travels back in the opposite direction of the strip's transport.

[0004] An apparatus and method are known from EP 2 997 839 B1 for transferring rod-shaped articles from a longitudinal conveyor for axially conveying the articles to a transverse conveyor for transversely conveying the articles, or vice versa, in the tobacco processing industry. Here, the longitudinal and transverse conveyors are arranged relative to each other in a linear orientation. A carrier element is provided at the drum body, which is pivotable about a pivot axis. The carrier element is pivoted to change the orientation of the rod-shaped articles from axial to transverse or vice versa.

[0005] Existing machines have relatively large space requirements and require relatively many machine components to transfer rod-shaped articles from an axial conveying direction to a transverse conveying direction, i.e., from a strip forming machine to a combination machine. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of this invention is to describe a transfer device and a machine for the tobacco processing industry, which are generally smaller and require fewer machine components than known machines. In particular, the object is to describe a corresponding transfer device and a machine for the tobacco processing industry that can cope with less energy or air consumption and, moreover, achieve gentler handling of the rod-shaped articles during the manufacture of tobacco processing products.

[0007] This objective is achieved by a transfer device for the tobacco processing industry, which transfers rod-shaped articles from a forming machine to a combining machine. In the forming machine, the rod-shaped articles are conveyed in a direction corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the articles. In the combining machine, the rod-shaped articles are conveyed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the articles. The transfer device is thus improved by having a receiving groove configured to receive the rod-shaped articles in a receiving position, wherein the receiving groove is tangentially oriented in the circumferential direction of the conveying mechanism. Furthermore, a cutting device is provided, wherein the conveying mechanism serves as a support for the cutting device. Downstream of the conveying mechanism, a rotary conveyor is provided, which is configured to axially remove the axially conveyed rod-shaped articles from the conveying mechanism and receive them into the receiving portion of the rotary conveyor, and rotate the receiving portion during the rotation of the rotary conveyor, such that the receiving portion moves transversely to the axial direction after rotation during the rotation of the rotary conveyor.

[0008] The method according to the invention eliminates the need for a conventional rotary disc. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the preceding strip-making machine can be configured without a cutting blade or cutting device to cut the strip into rod-shaped articles, since cutting into rod-shaped articles can also be performed in a transfer device. In particular, the transfer device eliminates the need for a costly transfer module, for example, by directly cutting rod-shaped articles from the tobacco processing industry to the desired size in the transfer device.

[0009] Preferably, the transfer device ensures that the rod-shaped articles remain in a linear conveying direction from axial conveying to transverse conveying. Therefore, the mechanisms of the transfer device (i.e., the conveying mechanism and the rotary conveyor) are arranged sequentially in a straight line in a top view. This allows tobacco processing machines to be arranged in a linear orientation between longitudinal conveyors (e.g., strip forming machines) and transverse conveyors (e.g., combination machines).

[0010] The conveying mechanism preferably has one or more receiving grooves for receiving rod-shaped articles, oriented axially along the periphery of the conveying mechanism. Preferably, a single receiving groove is provided, continuously arranged along the periphery of the conveying mechanism, wherein, in particular, multiple suction openings are provided to sequentially arrange and retain multiple rod-shaped articles axially along the periphery in the receiving groove. In this case, the receiving groove can be configured as a single receiving groove extending over the entire periphery of the conveying mechanism. Two or more parallel receiving grooves can also be provided to receive two or more strips or rod-shaped articles conveyed parallel to each other axially in the conveying mechanism. Two or more parallel receiving grooves can also be continuously arranged along the periphery of the conveying mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the receiving part of the rotating conveyor is rotated by 90°.

[0012] Preferably, one receiving portion or at least two parallel-oriented receiving portions of the rotary conveying device are disposed on the receiving body, wherein the receiving body is rotatable about a rotation axis of 90°, which is specifically configured as a radial axis for the rotary conveying mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, multiple receiving bodies are arranged at the rotating conveyor.

[0014] Preferably, the center of one receiving part of the receiving body or the center between at least two receiving parts of the receiving body is located on the axis of rotation. This allows the receiving body to be rotated without causing imbalance.

[0015] Preferably, the conveying mechanism, particularly in the area of ​​one or more receiving grooves for one or more rod-shaped articles, has a slit for receiving at least one cutter of the cutting device. Thus, a support (Gegenlager) for the cutting device is realized in the conveying mechanism. In particular, this enables a clean cut through the rod-shaped article received in the receiving groove.

[0016] Alternatively, the strip can be received in the receiving groove or a receiving groove in its downstream portion to cut the rod-shaped article and further convey it after cutting.

[0017] Preferably, the slit is wider than the thickness of at least one cutter, and / or has a preset angle of not equal to 90° with the tangent of the receiving groove for the rod-shaped article. Preferably, the plane passing through the slit is a plane perpendicular to the tangential plane, the angle of which with the tangent of the periphery of the conveying mechanism is not equal to 90°.

[0018] Preferably, the cutting device is a rotating cutter having more than two blades, particularly four or more blades, particularly six or more blades, particularly eight or more blades, particularly ten or more blades, particularly twelve or more blades, particularly fourteen or more blades, particularly sixteen or more blades, particularly eighteen or more blades, particularly twenty or more blades, particularly twenty or more blades. Preferably, a maximum of twenty-four blades are provided. Within the scope of this invention, the blade may also be referred to as a cutting edge.

[0019] Preferably, the cutting tool has or is a hard metal edge, wherein the material is particularly selected such that, during the operation of the tool, without sharpening, the tool achieves at least 300,000 cuts, particularly at least 400,000 cuts, and preferably 500,000 cuts. The material can be, for example, a metal matrix composite, such as tungsten carbide-cobalt carbide or steel, comprising small particles of diamond or cubic zirconia. Hard metal edges for applications according to the invention are described, for example, by DE 10 2020 120 576.7, filed August 4, 2020. Preferably, the hard metal edge has a hardness of 1400 to 2200 HV30, a bending strength of 3600 to 4400 MPa, and a particle size of 0.2 to 1.3 μm.

[0020] Preferably, the cutting device can operate without a sharpening device.

[0021] Preferably, the cutting tool has a thickness of 0.15 mm to 0.25 mm, especially 0.18 mm to 0.22 mm.

[0022] Preferably, the slit is 0.25 mm to 0.35 mm wide, especially 0.28 mm to 0.32 mm wide.

[0023] Preferably, the ratio of the slit width to the thickness of the tool or blade is in the range of 1.4 mm to 1.6 mm.

[0024] If the conveying mechanism and / or rotating conveyor is constructed as a roller, the transfer device is particularly process-stable. Such rollers are well-known in the tobacco processing industry and are, in this respect, very process-reliable.

[0025] Preferably, the rotary conveying device has cam control for the rotation of the receiving part.

[0026] Preferably, the cutting tool of the cutting device is configured to perform an axial compensation stroke, which is preferably controlled by a cam. The axial compensation stroke ensures that the linearly conveyed rod-shaped article can be further fed during cutting without being jammed or braked.

[0027] This objective is further achieved by machinery used in the tobacco processing industry, which includes a strip-making machine, a transfer device according to the invention, and a combining machine, wherein the transfer device is connected downstream to or is part of the strip-making machine, and the combining machine is connected downstream to the transfer device.

[0028] Preferably, the combination machine is a filter assembly machine, a multi-section filter machine, a multi-section machine, or a section combination machine. For example, the combination machine can also be a machine that assembles heated non-combustible components together. Within the scope of this invention, the combination machine can also be referred to as a combination device or combiner.

[0029] Preferably, the strip-making machine, the transfer device, and the combination machine are arranged sequentially in a straight line.

[0030] Suitable rod-shaped articles for transfer to a combination machine via a transfer device (preferably a strip-making machine) include cigarette rods, tobacco rods with a metal strip for induction heating, filter sections, hollow sections, and straws.

[0031] According to the present invention, a machine for tobacco processing is provided, wherein a strip forming machine and a multi-section machine are connected in a linear arrangement structure.

[0032] Traditionally, a transfer module is used during transfer. This module is located between the tobacco stick forming machine and the first filter supply module and receives the tobacco stick with the metal strip, the so-called CLT segment. The tobacco stick can be brought to a predetermined pitch (e.g., a 30pi pitch), tumbled, cut into segments of, for example, 12mm using two cutting units, segmented, and pushed together. Furthermore, the tobacco stick can then be rotated using rollers so that the metal strip is in the correct position for cutting. Afterward, the end face can be inspected, for example, using an optical system.

[0033] According to the invention, the transfer module can be omitted, and only the transfer device according to the invention is used. For this purpose, the tobacco sticks are cut directly to a predetermined size (e.g., 24 mm) in the sizing machine, or directly to a desired size (e.g., 12 mm) in the transfer device. The transfer device can be implemented downstream at the outlet of the sizing machine. Instead of a wheel (which can also be called a tube drive), a conveying mechanism is used that receives the rod-shaped article and directly transfers the cut double segments (e.g., 2 x 12 mm) to a preferably cam-controlled rotary conveying mechanism that rotates the double segments or rod-shaped article by 90°.

[0034] The rod-shaped item can then be transferred to an inspection-and / or pitch-changing roller equipped with an optical inspection system. Afterward, the rod-shaped item can be directly fed to the first supply module of the assembly machine. Of course, other lengths can be used instead of the described length.

[0035] The advantage of this invention is that it eliminates the need for a complete transfer module with various rollers, thus resulting in significant cost savings. The machine itself is relatively small, resulting in a significantly smaller footprint. For example, the machine can be approximately 2 meters shorter than typically constructed. A smaller feed module is sufficient, consuming less energy and less air. Furthermore, only one cutting system can be used instead of two. For example, if the strip is guided directly into the transfer device, the cutting blades or blade assembly in the strip-making machine can be eliminated. Rod-shaped articles can also be directly fed to a length suitable for further processing, thus eliminating the need for additional cutting through the rod-shaped articles in the assembly machine following the transfer device.

[0036] Further features of the invention can be derived from the description of embodiments according to the invention, together with the claims and the accompanying drawings. Embodiments according to the invention may satisfy a single feature or a combination of multiple features. Attached Figure Description

[0042] Figure 5 A schematic three-dimensional view of a portion of the transfer device according to the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0043] Within the scope of this invention, features marked "especially" or "preferred" should be understood as optional features.

[0044] In the accompanying drawings, elements and / or parts of the same or similar type are given the same reference numerals, thus omitting the need for further explanation.

[0045] Figure 1 A schematic top view of a tobacco processing machine 10 according to the present invention is shown.

[0046] The machine 10 according to the invention includes a tobacco strip forming machine 11, a transfer device 12 according to the invention, and a combination machine 13. In the tobacco strip forming machine 11, tobacco strips wrapped with a wrapping material are formed, for example, with a metal strip preferably inserted axially into the tobacco strip. The metal strip is suitable for induction heating of tobacco segments made from the tobacco strip. The tobacco strip is formed in a circular or elliptical shape in a forming device 14 as is customary and wrapped with the wrapping material. The metal segments can be placed into a tobacco cake before the forming device 14, which, for clarity, is shown in the image below. Figure 1 Not shown in the diagram. The conveying direction is shown at 25 degrees.

[0047] The manufactured tobacco strip 15 Figure 1 The material is cut into rod-shaped articles 22 by means of a cutting device 16. The rod-shaped articles 22 are further conveyed axially to a transfer device 12, where they are transferred axially to a conveying mechanism 17. The conveying mechanism 17 can be configured as a conveying roller as shown. A cutting device 18 is provided, which has a plurality of cutting blades 36. (See reference for details.) Figures 2 to 5 .

[0048] The rod-shaped article 22 is cut into two shorter rod-shaped articles 22 by the cutting device 18. Then, the rod-shaped articles 22, oriented axially in the conveying direction 25, are transferred to a rotary conveyor 19, in which the rod-shaped articles are rotated such that they can be transferred laterally axially to a removal roller 20. In this embodiment, the removal roller 20 is part of the transfer device 12, but in embodiments not shown, it may also be part of the assembly machine 13.

[0049] Then, in the assembly machine 13, for example, the conveyor roller 21 and other components are connected to the removal roller 20 or the transfer device 12, the other components not shown and which, for example, ensure that additional rod-shaped articles are attached to the manufactured rod-shaped articles 22.

[0050] The strip-making machine 11, the transfer device 12, and the assembly machine 13 are arranged linearly. Because the transfer device 12 has simple components and few parts, a compact structure is possible.

[0051] exist Figure 1 In one embodiment, a cutting device 16 is provided in the strip-making machine 11. This cutting device preferably includes more than half the number of cutting devices 18, with the cutting devices distributed around the periphery of the cutting device 16. In an embodiment not shown, the strip-making machine 11 does not have the cutting device 16, and the cutting device 18 of the transfer device 12 is used to cut one or more strips 15 into rod-shaped articles 22.

[0052] In addition, Figure 1 The embodiment shown depicts a single-strip forming machine. However, the invention is also applicable to double-strip forming machines or multi-strip forming machines.

[0053] Figure 2 The transfer device 12 according to the present invention is schematically shown. Figure 2 In the middle, the rod-shaped article 22 is supplied from the right in the conveying direction 25 to the conveying mechanism 17, and is received there in the receiving groove 27, which is in Figure 4 It can be clearly seen in the middle. The rod-shaped item 22 is held in the receiving groove 27 and cut by means of the cutting device 18.

[0054] When the rod-shaped article 22 is supplied to the transfer device, it is preferably cut at the center. Then, the two centrally cut rod-shaped articles 22 can be further conveyed by the conveying mechanism 17 by approximately 1 / 4 rotation in this axial orientation and transferred to the rotating conveying mechanism 19 into the recess provided in the receiving body 30. For example, if a dual-line or multi-line strip-making machine is provided, two or more parallel lines of the rod-shaped article 22 can also be transferred.

[0055] It can also be set to omit. Figure 1 The cutting device 16 is shown. In this case, one or more strips arrive at the conveying mechanism 17 parallel to each other, where the rod-shaped articles 22 are cut by the cutting device 18, and only the cut rod-shaped articles 22 are further conveyed. After the next cut, they are cut again and the rod-shaped articles 22 are further conveyed, and so on.

[0056] However, in this embodiment, the rod-shaped article 22 is conveyed in the axial conveying direction 25 and cut into two rod-shaped articles 22, which are arranged axially relative to each other and fed onto the rotary conveying mechanism 19 in this arrangement.

[0057] exist Figure 3 It shows Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a partially enlarged portion is shown. It illustrates the cutting device 18 cutting through the rod-shaped article 22 using a blade 36. The cut is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 26 of the rod-shaped article 22, resulting in two rod-shaped articles 22 after the cut.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cutting device 18 has eight blades 36. Furthermore, as can be clearly seen in the figure, the conveying mechanism 17, configured as a conveying roller, has a slit 35 into which the blades 36 can enter. The blades 36 are oriented such that a smooth, straight cut through the rod-shaped article 22 is achieved during axial conveying. Preferably, a compensated stroke for the blades 36 is implemented.

[0059] After cutting, the rod-shaped article 22 is further conveyed axially in the circumferential direction 28 and then axially fed onto the rotary conveyor 19. Figure 4 A more detailed illustration of the cutting is shown in a three-dimensional schematic diagram. It can be clearly seen there that the receiving grooves 27 are continuously constructed on the periphery of the conveying mechanism 17. Multiple such receiving grooves 27, preferably two receiving grooves 27, may also be arranged side-by-side in the axial direction on the periphery of the conveying mechanism 17.

[0060] Figure 5The operation of the rotary conveyor 19, configured as a rotary conveying roller, is illustrated schematically in a three-dimensional diagram. The receiving body 30 has a receiving portion 29 in which rod-shaped articles 22 are received axially, or in this embodiment, two pre-cut rod-shaped articles 22. During the rotation of the rotary conveyor 19 from a receiving position near the conveyor 17 to a delivery position near the inspection roller 23, the receiving body 30 rotates 90° about the rotation axis 31, such that when one or more rod-shaped articles 22 are delivered onto the inspection roller 23, these rod-shaped articles are conveyed transversely to the axial direction. Optical inspection of the rod-shaped articles 22 is performed, for example, in the inspection roller 23. Furthermore, the rod-shaped articles 22 can be segmented and oriented transversely to the axial direction here, so that they can then be delivered, for example, onto the removal roller 20 of the assembly machine 13.

[0061] All mentioned features, as well as features that can be seen alone from the accompanying drawings, and individual features disclosed in combination with other features, are considered individually and in combination to be important to the invention. Embodiments according to the invention can be achieved through a single feature or a combination of multiple features.
