  • the feeding of the tape to the runway is of particular importance by means of a tape conveyor or a tape roll, which briefly affects the speed of movement the runway is accelerated to transfer the tape to it.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a splice unit associated with each track Web roller, at least one of which is adjustable parallel to the axis to create of different distances between the adjacent web rollers. Furthermore each roll is assigned a tape roll. This is each with a cutting knife provided, which cuts the runway in the correct position relative to the tape, in cooperation with the respective web roller.
  • the device shown as an embodiment comes in connection with a packaging machine, especially for cigarettes.
  • a packaging machine especially for cigarettes.

  • Both tracks 13, 15 run over offset to the trunnion 10, 11 arranged deflection rollers 17, 18 to form a vertical conveyor section between these deflecting rollers 17, 18 into a horizontal conveying path a splice unit 19 arranged centrally between the support pins 10, 11.
  • a support is formed on the horizontal conveying path of the webs 13, 15, namely a table top 20.
  • the splice unit 19 is used to connect the new path 15 held ready to the runway 13 and for separating a remnant 21 of the runway 13 after the connection process.
  • the splice unit 19 contains management and conveying bodies for the two tracks 13, 15 as well as for a double-sided adhesive connection label, namely Tape 22. Die Bahnen 13, 15 are each guided by a web roller 23, 24.
  • the web roller 23 is the run-off web 13 and the web roller 24 assigned to the new web 15.
  • the webs 13, 15 each run in a range of 90 ° around the web rolls 23, 24, namely from a horizontal Conveying level to a vertical discharge level.
  • the web rollers 23, 24 are axially parallel and stored at a variable distance from each other, such that between the Web rollers 23, 24 a gap of different widths for the passage of the webs 13, 15th is created.
  • Each web roll 23, 24 is assigned a taper roll 25, 26. These are above the associated web roller 23, 24 stored.
  • the tape rolls 25, 26 are used for feeding of the tape 22 to the respective runway 13 and to apply the tape 22 to it.
  • the double-sided adhesive tape 22 is in a special circumferential area of the tape roll 25, 26 positioned, which has a lower adhesion of the tape 22, especially in the area a silicone coating 27 of the tape roll 25, 26.
  • a special feature is the attachment of a cutting knife 28 to the tape roll 25, 26.
  • the separating knife 28 interacts with the respective web roller 23, 24 on which the Runway 13 rests.
  • the separating cut is made accordingly by the separating knife 28 trained, namely hardened surface of the web roller 23, 24 executed. Due to the connection with the tape roll 25, 26, the separating cut follows at an exact distance to the tape 22 placed there is between the two web rollers 23, 24 approximately triangular guide body 29, the tracks 13, 15 each in the area the system on the web rollers 23, 24 leads.
  • the web rollers 23, 24 and the taper rollers 25, 26 are with axle journals or drive shafts mounted rotatably in supporting walls 30, 31 of a supporting frame (FIG. 9).
  • the tape roll 25, 26 is driven by a motor 32 which on the shaft 33 with clutch 34 Tapes 25, 26 acts.
  • the relative, axially parallel adjustment of the web rollers 23, 24 to each other is indicated by a Eccentric gear causes.
  • the web roll 24 is open an eccentric shaft 35 which is offset to a drive shaft 36.
  • the eccentric shaft 35 is rotatable by a separate gear, namely by one on the Eccentric shaft 35 attached swivel arm 37, which with a (pressure medium) cylinder 38 or is connected to the piston rod.
  • a (pressure medium) cylinder 38 By actuating the eccentric gear the web roll 24 moves transversely, reducing or increasing the distance from the other web roller 23.
  • the splice unit 19 also includes cutting members for cutting through in the correct position the respective new course 15 before the start of the change process. It is about thereby around a roll-like or disk-shaped one which can be moved transversely to the new track 15 Knife 39. This is attached to a holder 40 on the table top 20. The knife 39 sits on a sled 41, the hand across the new track 15 or across is movable over the table top 20. The carriage 41 is on a guide rod for this purpose 42 slidably mounted. The rotating knife 39 operates when performed the separating cut with a right edge or guide rail 43 on the table top 20, So below the Neubahn 15, together. The guide rail 43 ensures together with the knife 39 an exact, precise separation cut of the new track 15, in particular at a marked or defined position.
  • the splice unit 19 includes one on the web rollers 23, 24 in the conveying direction following web storage 44. This forms with the help of stationary pulleys 45 and this interacting further deflection rollers 46 on one arm 47 a plurality of web loops, which are enlarged or reduced by pivoting the arm 47 can.
  • a pivot bearing 48 of the arm 47 is assigned a sensor 49 which detects the exact Angular position of the pivot bearing 48 and thus the arm 47 recognizes. From the position of the The bearing length of the runway 13 results in the pivot bearing 48.
  • the sensor 49 controls the drive of the bobbins 14, 16 or the trunnions 10, 11.
  • a special feature are the selected drives according to their function and economy.
  • the bobbins 14, 16 and the trunnions 10, 11 are each driven by three-phase motors 50, 51 driven. These can short-term to the required speed of rotation are also used as an engine brake.
  • the web rollers 23, 24 and the taper rollers 25, 26, however, are driven by stepper motors, So a simpler version of a servo motor. Ensure the stepper motors exact movement steps.
  • the described device When changing lanes or bobbins, the described device is used as follows proceeded: In time before the lane change begins, the new lane 15 (manual) prepared. For this purpose, an initial piece 52 which has been removed from the new bobbin 16 New track 15 brought into an exact position, which results from Fig. 5. The Neubahn 15 or the starting piece 52 extends into the area of the smallest distance Web rollers 23, 24 from each other and slightly beyond. This exact length of the beginning 52 when forming an initial edge of the new track 15 using the knife 39 created. The separating cut is carried out at a predetermined position, namely with reference to a printed mark attached to the web or a design mark Printing on the new web 15.
  • Initial piece 52 is determined by a mechanical measuring device.
  • a web loop 53 is drawn between the two deflection rollers 17, 18, with a movable intermediate roller 54, which is between the deflection rollers 17, 18 is moved transversely with a certain length of the new track 15 (Fig. 3, right).
  • the intermediate roller 54 is attached to an operating arm 55 which from a starting position shown on the left in FIG. 3 into the working position shown on the right in FIG. 3 is moved.
  • the intermediate roller 54 is a monitoring device assigned, namely an initiator 56. This ensures that the path change process is initiated only after the formation of the loop 53.
  • the separating cut can now be carried out by hand using knife 39 (on the right) are used to create an exact front edge of the new track 15.
  • the tape 22 is then placed on the tape roll 25 assigned to the run-off track 13, specifically in the area of the silicone coating 27 (FIG. 5). If it continues to run unchanged Runway 13, tape 22 is transferred to runway 13 (FIG. 6). To it is necessary to speed up the tape roll 25 during a partial rotation to accelerate the runway 13. This is achieved in such a way that the tape roll 25 is first rotated in the opposite direction (Fig. 5) and then after this "Outward movement” when reversing the direction of rotation to the speed of the new train 15 is accelerated until the transfer of the tape 22 (Fig. 6).
  • the web roll 24 holding the new web 15 is adjusted by actuating the cylinder 38 at a short distance from the opposite web roller 23 (FIG. 6). Of Furthermore, the web roller 24 is also driven in rotation. If the tape is 22 in reaches the area of the smallest distance between the two web rollers 23, 24, there is an adhesive connection with the starting piece 52. The subsequent new track 15 is now pulled through the runway. At the same time is due to continued rotational movement the tape roll 25, the separating knife 28 belonging to this became effective and has severed the run-off web 13 at the top of the web roller 23 (FIG. 7, FIG. 8) forming the remainder of the piece 21. The (new) run-off track 13 runs at unchanged speed promoted, with a precisely defined cut in the area of tape connection will be discarded later.
