  • a device for building a continuous Tobacco rod with a along a construction line with a suction chamber in Actively connected suction line conveyor, which is in the line inlet area a format device forming the tobacco rod into a wrapped cigarette rod passed around a press disk rotating with the suction strand conveyor is.
  • a format device forming the tobacco rod into a wrapped cigarette rod passed around a press disk rotating with the suction strand conveyor is.
  • a cigarette rod is usually made up of individual and loosened Tobacco fibers on a strand conveyor rotating in a tobacco channel in the form of an endless conveyor belt piled up to a fiber strand that is continuous is removed from the strand building area and equalized before it on a moving with a revolving format tape in a format device
  • the wrapping material strip is deposited and in the format device with the wrapping material strip, for example a strip of cigarette paper.
  • the one in the entry area the wrapping material strips that are just arriving is first of all U-shaped when passing through the format device Fiber strand formed before being wrapped all around the strand and for formation a cylindrical envelope along an overlap seam usually by gluing is closed around the strand.
  • An air-permeable fabric belt is usually used as the strand conveyor, in which by the applied vacuum or due to the mechanical Fix the tobacco particles from the strand when compressing the fiber strand and can be replaced elsewhere, so that a proper Transfer of all particles of the strand to the format device prevented becomes.
  • a so-called scraper On this consists of a basic body and has a scraper edge that is positioned close to the surface of the strand conveyor and strips the tobacco particles of the strand from the strand conveyor.
  • the invention has for its object the functional reliability of such with regard to a better strand formation optimized belt deflection as well to increase their service life.
  • the pressure plate is delimited in the area of a wrap-free peripheral section by an air channel which is in flow connection on the one hand with the inner storage space of the pressure plate and on the other hand with the suction chamber.
  • the pressure plate is cleaned equally on all inner and outer dust-depositing surfaces by a permanent suction.
  • the inner surfaces are best achieved by the suction according to a further development in that the flow connection to the storage space of the pressure plate is established by air slots emerging on both sides at the peripheral edge of the pressure plate, which are expediently designed in the form of at least eight radial edge slots.
  • the conveyor belt is usually guided shortly before it rotates around the pressure disk along a fixed thrust block, which according to a further development is used to form the air duct through a recess in the thrust block leading the suction line conveyor.
  • the effectiveness of the air duct is optimized in that it is laterally delimited by side walls designed as knife strips, which have openings which connect the air duct with the atmosphere.
  • this defines a defined dedusting zone achieves that the air channel runs essentially concentrically to the pressure plate between the lower retaining wedge of the pusher block and an upper one connected to the thrust block, against the pressure disc hired scraper extends.
  • the dedusting of the storage area of the press disk is further facilitated by the fact that the end faces of the pressure plate have openings exhibit.
  • the advantage achieved with the invention is that by a permanent Dedusting or keeping the particularly sensitive functional areas free of dust, especially the bearing points and the belt guide surface of the press disk, on the one hand, their long-term operational safety is maintained in full load operation and In the long term, this also means secure belt guidance and thus one Increasing the belt life is guaranteed.
  • the invention is based on an embodiment shown in the drawing explained in more detail.
  • FIG. 1 the format inlet of a cigarette rod machine is shown.
  • she shows the discharge end of an air-permeable endless conveyor belt Suction line conveyor 1 and part of a format device 2 with a dot-dash line indicated format bed 3 and an inlet finger 4.
  • the suction line conveyor 1 runs in the direction of arrow 6 in a tobacco channel 7 and promotes a fiber strand from tobacco fibers (not shown) from a strand building zone (also not shown) for delivery to a format device 2.
  • the fiber strand is conveyed hanging on the suction pipe conveyor 1 in the tobacco duct 7, whereby it is by means of of a suction train acting through the suction strand conveyor 1 from a Suction line conveyor enclosing suction chamber 8 held on the suction line conveyor becomes.
  • the format bed 3 has a strand guide surface 9, which forms a strand channel which is curved in cross section, the radius of curvature of which in Direction of the strand continuously from the inlet cone 11 to the format part decreases and which is designed in a shape corresponding to the desired strand, strand channel of the format device 2, not shown, opens.
  • Strand channel of the format device 2 is a rotating channel in the direction of arrow 12 Format tape 13 out, which a wrapping material strip 14 through the format device 2 wears. This technique of such machines is well known, so that a detailed description and description is not required here.
  • Inlet cone 11 converges the suction strand conveyor 1 to the strand guide surface 9 of the format bed 3 and places the shivered in a strand construction zone, not shown and in the usual way equalized tobacco rod on the by the Format device 2 moves wrapping material strips 14 on.
  • This is the tobacco rod when passing through the inlet cone 11 under the effect of Suction line conveyor 1 highly compressed and in accordance with the change in cross section the inlet cone is deformed in the conveying direction 12 of the format belt 13, that it is partially in the strand guide surface 9 of the format bed 3rd enclosed strand channel can enter.
  • the strand guide surface 9 is adjacent to the format bed 3 as a further strand guide means of the infeed fingers 4 arranged with a scraper 16 which together with the strand guide surface 9 the format bed 3 a further compressing and shaping the fiber strand Strand guidance forms.
  • the scraper 16 is attached to the end of the inlet finger 4 of the format device 2. Its underside is designed as a strand guide surface 17 and is in the installed position the scraper opposite the strand guide surface 9 of the format bed 3, so that both strand guide surfaces 9 and 17 form a strand guide channel lock in.
  • the strand guide surface 17 is concavely curved and flush with it a subsequent strand guide surface 18 on the underside of the enema finger 4 is formed. This formation of the strand guide surfaces causes in known way of deforming the incoming tobacco rod into a cylindrical Fiber strand with simultaneous coating of this fiber strand with the Wrapping material strips 14.
  • the suction line conveyor 1 In the area of the format inlet, the suction line conveyor 1 is at its discharge end around a press disk set in rotation by the suction strand conveyor 1 19 led around, the entire discharge end and the pressure plate 19th is covered by side walls designed as knife strips 21, which are on the underside extend along the strand guide surface 9 in the format bed 3. Between the two knife strips 21 is a so-called for guiding the suction line conveyor 1 Push track block 22 inserted with a scraper-like retaining wedge 23 with a distance in the tenth of a millimeter range in the between the pressure plate 19 and the suction line conveyor 1 formed lower gusset against the Press disk 19 is employed. On the top is the push-block block 22 with a equipped against the circumferential surface of the pressure plate 19 scraper 24.
  • the push-track block 22 with a recess provided in the form of an air duct 26, which in an approximately concentric course to the press disk between the upper and lower run of the suction strand conveyor 1 extending free peripheral portion of the press disk 19 limited between the scraper 24 and the retaining wedge 23.
  • the air duct 26 stands on the one hand with the suction chamber 8 and on the other hand with the inner storage space 27 of the press disk 19 in connection.
  • the press washer 19 with a total of eight radial air slots emerging on both sides at their peripheral edge 28 provided so that when passing by the suction line conveyor 1st released air slots 28 in the region of the air duct 26 a flow connection between the storage space 27 of the pressure plate 19 and the suction chamber 8 will be produced.
