Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for conveying a strand of tobacco processing industry with a guide for a conveyor belt, that runs at the bottom of an open channel.
  • a strand of tobacco processing industry is especially a fiber strand, preferably from Cut tobacco, understood.
  • a machine for producing a cigarette rod is the bottom of a strand guide channel (tobacco channel), circulating strand conveyor tobacco in the form of a shower of isolated Tobacco fibers fed in a strand formation zone in the tobacco channel on the Strand conveyor accumulated and as a tobacco strand from the strand formation zone conveyed away.
  • the tobacco rod is then reduced by excess equalized before going through in the further course of the manufacturing process Wrapping with a strip of wrapping material processed into a cigarette and finally cut into single or multiple tobacco rods.
  • the lower strand is usually one Strand conveyor belt used, on which the accumulated fiber strand hanging is promoted.
  • the strand conveyor belt is vacuumed from the back acted on, so that the tobacco fibers through the strand conveyor holding suction is created.
  • This type of sponsor is also known as Suction rod.
  • the conveyor strand of the strand conveyor extends in Tobacco canal from the beginning of the line through the area of the Surplus withdrawal facility until its end of delivery, at which the formed Strand of tobacco is delivered to a strand unit.
  • the Tobacco rod wrapped with the wrapping material strip so that a cigarette rod is formed, which is finally processed into cigarettes or filter cigarettes.
  • the length of the Conveyor line of the suction line conveyor and the high speed of modern Strand machines place high demands on the strand conveyor and the barrel the guide means influencing the strand conveyor.
  • Cigarette rod machines with strand conveyor belts of the type described above are shown, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,805,641, GB Pat. No. 974,821 and US Pat. No. 4,344,526.
  • the object on which the invention is based is to further improve a device of the type described at the outset.
  • This object is achieved in that the leadership has adjacent individual elements which are arranged in a holder.
  • the invention has the advantage that the relatively small individual elements highly wear-resistant material, e.g. B. made of hard metal or ceramic, without becoming as expensive as an entire guide surface made of such a material.
  • the individual elements can be quickly replaced when worn.
  • the flow conditions of the air in the tobacco channel are changed should, for example, if the fibers of the tobacco supplied have a different structure exhibit.
  • individual elements are simply combined with others Flow resistances inserted into the guide grooves.
  • the Flow conditions can easily be adjusted so that the air resistance in the Decrease course of increasing strand height.
  • the shape of the Belt conveyor to vary from flat to rounded end areas to the whole rounded part-cylindrical shape.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show part of a strand guide unit 1 of a Cigarette rod machine on an enlarged scale, for better presentation is greatly shortened by fault lines.
  • a holder shown in Figure 1 from below has Air outlets 2, through the suction air from bottom to top in a vacuum room (Position 3 in Figures 3 and 4) can flow.
  • FIGs 3 and 4 are further details showing sections corresponding to the Section lines A-A and B-B shown in Figure 2. These cuts are additional Individual elements 4 for guiding a strand conveyor belt 6 (drawn excessively thick) and a tobacco channel 7 is shown.
  • the holder 1 has two cheeks 8 and 9, the can be screwed together using invisible screws.
  • Figure 2 is a corresponding threaded bore 11 is shown.
  • Cheeks 8 and 9 have Guide grooves 12, in the segment-shaped individual elements 4 for tape guidance, of which Figure 5 shows details that can be inserted perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. to clamping fixation of the individual elements / segments 4 can not shown
  • the individual elements 4 limit and lead with top and side arranged guide surfaces, the air-permeable conveyor belt 6, the direction is drivable perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • Below cheeks 8 and 9 and Individual elements 4 extend in a known manner cheeks 14 and 16, the Limit tobacco channel 7.
  • the tobacco fibers fed from below are used by one Suction air flow through the channel 7, the air-permeable band 6, the air passages 5 in the individual elements 4 and through the air passages 2 in the holder 1 in the Vacuum chamber 3 flows, entrained and accumulate on the belt 6, where they are accumulate to an unillustrated tobacco rod and be transported away.
  • Figure 4 differs from Figure 3 only in that the threaded holes 13 for Clamps of the individual elements 4 are missing.
  • Figure 5 shows a plan view of the guide side of an individual element 4. Die in the Guide grooves 12 of the cheeks 8, 9 inserted surfaces of the individual elements 4th are limited by lines 18, 19. A web 22 is formed from lines 19 and 21 limited. The strand conveyor belt 6 is located on the guide surfaces 24 between the webs 22 guided. With 23 slight bevels are designated below. The opposite back of the single element 4 is smooth.
  • FIG. 6 shows a variant of an individual element 4 shown in section with a Guide surface 24 for the strand conveyor belt 6, whose end regions 24a are rounded in enlarged scale.
  • FIG. 7 shows a variant of an individual element 4 shown in section in FIG enlarged scale, at which the guide surface 24b for the strand conveyor as Part of an inner surface of the cylinder is executed.
