Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum längsaxialen Positionieren von zu durchtrennende stabförmigen Artikeln der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie in Aufnahmemulden einer rotierenden Muldentrommel.The invention relates to a device for longitudinal axial positioning of rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry to be cut into receiving troughs of a rotating drum.

Vorrichtungen der eingangs bezeichneten Art werden üblicherweise eingesetzt im Zuge einer Konfektionierung von Filterzigaretten, wobei Filterstabkomponenten mehrfacher Gebrauchslänge im sogenannten Querverfahren, d. h. quer zu ihren Längsachsen durch einmalige oder mehrmalige Unterteilung, Staffelung und Hintereinanderreihung für ihre Vereinigung mit Tabakstabkomponenten vorbereitet werden, was auf einem durch eine Vielzahl von Trommeln gebildeten Förderweg erfolgt. Im Zuge dieses Bearbeitungs- und Handhabungsablaufes ist insbesondere eine für einen Tennschnitt an aufeinanderfolgenden Filterstabkomponenten erforderliche definierte längsaxiale Positionierung bzw. gegenseitige Ausrichtung der Filterstabkomponenten in ihren Aufnahmemulden für die die Länge des Förderweges bestimmende Trommelanzahl von Bedeutung
Die EP 0 577 061 A1 beschreibt eine Muldentrommel zum längsaxialen Positionieren von stabförmigen Artikeln der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie mit sich in die Aufnahmemulden erstreckenden Ausrichtanschlägen. Devices of the type described are usually used in the course of a production of filter cigarettes, wherein filter rod components multiple use length in the so-called transverse process, that are prepared transversely to their longitudinal axes by a single or multiple subdivision, staggering and sequential series for their association with tobacco rod components, resulting in a by a Variety of drums formed conveying path takes place. In the course of this processing and handling process, in particular a defined longitudinal axial positioning or mutual alignment of the filter rod components in their receiving troughs required for a Tennschnitt on successive filter rod components for determining the length of the conveying path number of drums is of importance
EP 0 577 061 A1 describes a hollow drum for the longitudinal axial positioning of rod-shaped articles of the tobacco-processing industry with alignment stops extending into the receiving cavities.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die für die ordnungsgemäße Vorbereitung der Filterstabkomponenten erforderlichen Arbeitsschritte mit einem reduzierten Aufwand an Fördertrommeln zu erzielen.The invention has for its object to achieve the necessary steps for the proper preparation of the filter rod components operations with a reduced cost of conveyor drums.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Muldentrommel als eine ein zugeordnetes umlaufendes Schneidmittel (12) aufweisende, kombinierte Schiebe-/ Schneidtrommel (9; 38) ausgebildet ist, die durch längsaxiale Verschiebung von gestaffelt aufeinanderfolgenden Artikeln (6; 42) die Artikel in eine queraxiale Reihen-Schneidformation (11; 39) überführend ausgebildet ist.
Vorzugsweise kommt eine derartige Schiebe-/Schneidtrommel bei Filterstabkomponente zum Einsatz, die bereits vorher in mehrfacher Gebrauchslänge einem Vorrat entnommen und unterteilt wurden. Um diese unterteilten Filterstabkomponenten nochmals zu durchtrennen, ist es erforderlich, sie nochmals in eine queraxiale Reihenformation zu überführen.
Um die aufeinanderfolgenden Ausricht- und Ausweichbewegungen der Ausrichtmittel exakt aufeinander abzustimmen, ist gemäß einer Weiterbildung vorgesehen, daß die Ausrichtanschläge diese außerhalb des Wirkbereichs der als Kreismesser ausgebildeten Schneidmittel in eine definierte Anschlagposition vorbewegenden und im Wirkbereich der Schneidmittel aus der Anschlagposition zurückziehenden Stellantriebsmitteln versehen sind.This object is achieved in that the hollow drum as an associated rotating cutting means (12) having, combined sliding / cutting drum (9, 38) is formed by longitudinal axial displacement of staggered successive articles (6, 42) the articles in a transverse axial row cutting formation (11, 39) is formed.
Preferably, such a sliding / cutting drum is used in filter rod component, which were previously taken in a multiple use length of a supply and subdivided. In order to re-cut these divided filter rod components, it is necessary to redeploy them into a transverse axial series formation.
In order to match the successive aligning and evasive movements of the alignment exactly, is provided according to a development that the alignment stops these are provided outside of the effective range of the form of a circular blade cutting means in a defined stop position and moving in the effective range of the cutting means from the stop position retracting actuator means.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Stellantriebsmittel als stirnseitig mit der Muldentrommel umlaufende Taumelscheibe ausgebildet.
Um mit einfachen Mitteln eine definierte längsaxiale und queraxiale Ausrichtung der Artikel bzw. der Artikelreihe relativ zum Schneidmittel zu gewährleisten, ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß die Ausrichtanschläge im Bereich ihrer Anschlagfläche mit einer den Muldengrund der Aufnahmemulden überdachenden Ausnehmung versehen sind, in deren Überdachungsbereich mit den Ausrichtanschlägen zusammenwirkende Saugkanäle einmünden.
Eine sichere Saugwirkung ist nach einem zusätzlichen Vorschlag dadurch gewährleistet, daß die Saugkanäle in einer durch eine Umfangsabdeckung der Muldentrommel definierten Ausrichtzone aktivierbar sind.
Um jeweils eine bedarfsgerechte Positionierung der Artikel, insbesondere in Zusammenwirkung der Schiebe-/Schneidtrommel mit Nachfolgetrommeln zu ermöglichen bzw. wählen zu können, wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, daß die in die Aufnahmemulden eintauchenden Ausrichtanschläge mit ihren Stellantriebsmitteln auf wenigstens einer Stirnseite der Muldentrommel angeordnet sind oder alternativ auf beiden Stirnseiten der Muldentrommel angeordnet sind.Conveniently, the actuator means are designed as a front side rotating with the trough drum swash plate.
In order to ensure with simple means a defined longitudinal axial and transaxial orientation of the article or the series of articles relative to the cutting means, it is further provided that the alignment stops are provided in the region of their stop surface with a recess of the receiving troughs recessed recess in their roofing area with the alignment stops open co-operating suction channels.
A secure suction is ensured by an additional proposal, characterized in that the suction channels can be activated in an alignment zone defined by a circumferential cover of the trough drum.
In order to enable or select a need-based positioning of the articles, in particular in cooperation of the sliding / cutting drum with follow-on drums, is also proposed that the dipping into the receiving troughs registration stops are arranged with their actuator means on at least one end face of the trough drum or alternatively are arranged on both ends of the drum tub.

Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil besteht darin, daß zwei sich normalerweise behindernde Arbeitsgänge auf einer einzigen Fördertrommel vorgenommen werden können, womit zwei Folgetrommeln entfallen können. Damit wird insgesamt die durch vertikale und horizontale Achsabstände der Fördertrommeln bestimmte Größe bzw. Bauhöhe der Maschineneinheit reduziert.The advantage achieved by the invention is that two normally obstructive operations can be performed on a single conveyor drum, which can be omitted two subsequent drums. As a result, the size or overall height of the machine unit determined by vertical and horizontal center distances of the conveyor drums is reduced overall.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen in der Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments in the drawing.
