Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing rod-shaped articles from a strand of material, in particular the tobacco-processing industry, with a wrapping device with a circulating conveyor or format strip for wrapping the material strand with shell material, a heating device for heating the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom and a first transport means for transporting the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom by the aforementioned means, preferably in the longitudinal axial direction.
  • such a device may be part of a filter rod machine for the production of filter rods.
  • the tow material drawn from a bale in an endless strip made up of individual filaments or fibers eg, cellulose acetate
  • the tow material drawn from a bale in an endless strip made up of individual filaments or fibers is prepared before being gathered into a filter strand, with a wrapping strip, its seam area with adhesive is provided, wrapped and cut into single filter rods of single or multiple use length.
  • the treatment is usually in practice in such a way that the strip of filter material after peeling off the bale is first loosened and widened by air nozzles and then stretched in a stretching zone in the longitudinal direction.
  • the filter material strip is then wetted with plasticizer, which makes the surface of the threads or fibers tacky, whereupon they stick together.
  • plasticizer makes the surface of the threads or fibers tacky, whereupon they stick together.
  • the thus prepared strip is then gathered into the strand, wrapped and cut into single filter bars of single or multiple use length.
  • the mentioned plasticizer which is usually triacetin, forms a solvent for the filter material.
  • the concentration of the plasticizer in the dissolved filter material must be reduced. This is done by diffusion of the plasticizer into the interior of the fibers, whereby a distribution of the plasticizer to a much larger amount of material and thus the desired dilution is achieved. As with most chemical processes, the rate of this diffusion depends on the temperature, with an elevated temperature resulting in accelerated hardening.
  • the wrapping device usually has an endlessly circulating conveyor belt, also referred to as a format strip, with the aid of which the material strand and the separately supplied wrapping material in the longitudinal axial direction through the wrapping device, also referred to as format, is conveyed.
  • a wrapping strip is placed in the wrapping device by stationary molds around the material strand and bonded accordingly.
  • a device of the type mentioned is from the US 3,017,309 A known, in which by a wrapping device, an endless circulating conveyor or format tape is performed.
  • a heating device is arranged behind the wrapping device, through which also the conveyor or format belt runs. Only after emerging from the heating device, the format tape is lifted from the then wrapped with the shell material strand again. This leads to a heating of the conveyor or format belt. In practice, however, it has been shown that heating causes the conveyor or format belt to be subjected to increased wear.
  • the heat treatment takes place only after lifting of the conveyor or format strip from the then already wrapped strand of material, so that the conveyor or format belt is not heated and therefore does not need to be cooled.
  • the inventive application of microwaves simultaneously effective heating of the material strand is effected.
  • the mentioned measures according to the invention finally lead to a considerable simplification of the structure of the device.
  • the cutting device can be arranged between the wrapping device and the heating device, so that in this embodiment the rod-shaped articles already produced from the wrapped strand of material are subjected to the heat treatment.
  • this second transport device for removing the rod-shaped objects, preferably in the transverse axial direction, should be arranged behind the heating device.
  • this second transport means is housed in a housing and a heat insulation surrounding the housing and / or means for air conditioning of the housing provided to prevent too rapid cooling of the heated by the heating means rod-shaped objects.
  • the heating device has a guide device, along which the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom are movable by the heating device.
  • this guide means is arranged stationary relative to the movement of the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom and designed for the passive guidance of the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom, wherein the material strand or the rod-shaped objects produced therefrom are acted upon by the first transport device with so much kinetic energy in that they can travel alone along the guide means.
  • the guide device has a web-shaped guide means for movably receiving the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom.
  • the guide means comprises a lower section for movably supporting the strand of material or rod-shaped articles made therefrom, and an upper section, the distance between the lower section and the upper section being dimensioned according to the thickness of the strand of material or rod-shaped articles made therefrom.
  • the lower section forms a concave bearing surface in cross-section. This results in a trough-like shape, in which the material strand or the rod-shaped objects produced therefrom are received.
  • the lower section has at least two spaced-apart support elements.
  • these support elements form a substantially point-like or in the direction of movement of the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom linear support for the material strand or rod-shaped objects produced therefrom.
  • a support point which is punctiform in cross section for example a two-point bearing for the lower section, is formed and in this way minimizes as far as possible the surface with which the material strand or the rod-shaped objects produced therefrom rest. In this way, a reduction of the friction can be achieved, which in turn has an advantageous effect on the movement of the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom.
  • the material strand or the rod-shaped objects produced therefrom and the support can be aligned with each other so that contact with seams or splices of the envelope is avoided, which otherwise creates a risk of contamination conditionally.
  • the strand of material or rod-shaped articles made therefrom may be oriented so that the seam or splice between the support elements or outside the support elements and thus out of engagement therewith.
  • the upper section can form a substantially point-like or linear in the direction of movement of the material strand or rod-shaped objects made linear plant for the material strand or the rod-shaped objects produced therefrom, so that here the same effects and advantages come to fruition in the same way.
  • a three-point support bearing is formed together with the lower section.
  • the web-shaped guide means has an elongated shape.
  • the support elements are in the direction of movement of the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom, preferably extending parallel to each other, extending rods.
  • the upper section may also have at least one rod extending in the direction of movement of the rod-shaped objects. To achieve the above-mentioned linear edition of the rod or rods should suitably have a round cross-section.
  • the web-shaped guide means for guiding the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom in the longitudinal axial direction is formed.
  • the transverse spacing of the support elements must be smaller than the thickness or the diameter of the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom.
  • the guide means should consist of a heat-resistant, preferably ceramic, and / or low-friction material.
  • the heating means comprises a housing
  • the guide means is disposed in the housing and the housing has an openable portion adapted to substantially expose the guide means when the housing is opened.
  • the section to be opened forms a cover of the housing.
  • the housing may consist of two half-shells, of which the lower half-shell is fixed and the upper half-shell is to be opened.
  • the openable portion of the housing should be pivotally mounted about a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis should preferably extend substantially intrusrichturig the material strand or the rod-shaped articles produced therefrom in the heating device as easy as possible access to the transport of the Material strands or rod-shaped objects made therefrom substantially over its entire length to have.
  • the upper section of the guide means should be arranged on the openable portion of the housing. In this way, the transport path is opened at the same time with the opening of the housing, whereby a particularly simple access is possible.
  • a safety circuit should be provided which deactivates the heating device when opening the housing.
  • the user does not need to pay attention to switching off the heating device, since this happens automatically due to the safety circuit. This is advantageous when using microwaves.

  • a not shown conditioning device Upstream of the filter rod machine 2 is a not shown conditioning device, as shown in the DE 42 09 606 A1 is described.
  • a strip of filter material is removed from a bale and treated, inter alia, by spreading and stretching and spraying with finely divided liquid plasticizer such as triacetin.
  • the plasticizer-sprayed strip of filter material is finally transferred in the treatment device into a gathered strand-like form and then conveyed to the filter rod machine 2.

  • the wrapping strip 21 and the combined filter material strip 10 arrive to an endlessly circulating format strip 22, which guides both components through a format 23, which wraps the wrapping strip 21 around the strip of filter material 10 and thereby forms an endless filter strand 24. This runs with its seam past a cooling bar 26, in which the bond line is solidified.
  • filter rods are continuously cut off from the filter rod 24 by means of a knife apparatus 27, which are moved by a microwave applicator 28 in the longitudinal axial direction and transferred by an accelerator 29 into a take-off drum 31, by which they are transported further in the transverse-axial direction.

The latter has the consequence that when opening the lid 50a, the upper third guide rod 63 is entrained and thus removed from the lower first and second guide rods 61 and 62, as shown in FIG. 3b.
  • the three guide rods 61, 62 and 63 are arranged at the vertices of an imaginary isosceles triangle which surrounds the common axis of the inlet pipe 56 and the outlet pipe 57. Accordingly, the inlet pipe 56, the space formed by the three spaced-apart guide rods 61, 62 and 63 and the outlet pipe 57 form a transport path along which the filter rods move in the longitudinal axial direction.
  • the three guide rods 61, 62 and 63 form linear or, viewed in cross-section, punctual three-point support bearing.
  • the inner diameter of the inlet pipe 56 and the outlet pipe 57 is dimensioned according to the outer diameter of the filter rods to be applied. The same applies to the distance between the three guide rods 61, 62 and 63 from each other.

  • the distance between the three guide rods 61, 62 and 63 is selected so that the filter rods in the longitudinal axial direction can move only with a relatively small clearance, wherein the distance between the lower first and second guide rods 61 and 62 smaller than the diameter of the filter rods is.
  • the three guide rods 61, 62 and 63 each have a circular cross-section. This has the consequence that a nearly only linear support for the filter rods on the lower first and second guide rods 61 and 62 and also a nearly only linear contact for the filter rods on the upper third guide rod 63 is formed. In this way, the contact between the filter rods and the guide rods 61, 62 and 63 and thus the resulting friction is minimized.
