Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roller pair for tensioning strands of filter material in the manufacture of cigarette filters according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the filter of filter cigarettes are usually made of a so-called filter tow of cellulose acetate. It is stripped from a bale of cellulose acetate and formed into a web or strand prior to being fed to the machine in which the filter plugs are made. The "cable" removed from the bale is heavily curled and is therefore subjected to tensile stress for expansion.
  • two spaced-apart pairs of rollers are provided, of which the one which is driven in the transport direction from the lying at a greater speed than the rear, so as to generate a voltage.
  • roller pairs used for this purpose are mounted on one end of the frame of the machine, one roller being made of metal and the other being a surface layer of elastic material, e.g. Having rubber or the like.
  • Such arrangements are i.a. in DE 1 532 142 or DE 2 008 033.
  • the overhead metal roller is driven, while the lower roller is mounted to run.
  • the lower roller is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis near its bearing.
  • a linear pneumatic drive is provided to operate the pivoting.
  • the invention has for its object to change roller pair of the specified type to the effect that the wear is reduced.
  • the second roller of a drive via a second drive shaft and a propeller shaft is driven.
  • the second drive shaft is coupled via a gear transmission with the first drive shaft. Therefore, an additional drive is not required.
  • the second roller is also mounted so that the size of the gap between the rollers in adaptation to the thickness of the material over its length is variable.
  • the contact pressure must be only so large that the acetate fibers between the spaced pairs of rollers can be held in order to stretch them in a certain ratio. In this way, the wear of the lining of the second roller is significantly reduced.
  • the second roller is not only pivoted away from the first roller, but can also make a pivoting during operation within limits or undergo an adjustment parallel to itself, if this is expedient due to the thickness of the material.
  • the resistance that must be overcome in such a movement of the second roller is that of the pivot drive, which therefore expediently acts on the second roller via a spring medium.
  • the actuator in turn includes a pneumatic cylinder that automatically allows a limited pivoting of the roller.
  • another actuator can act on the pivoting of the second roller via a spring medium.
  • the second roller is coupled via a universal joint shaft to the second drive shaft.
  • the second drive shaft may, as already mentioned, be the output shaft of a toothed wheel drive, whose input shaft represents the motor shaft.
  • the second roller is hollow. Inside, a drive flange is fixed, which cooperates with a roller bearing, whose inner ring is mounted pivotably about a horizontal axis on a sleeve-shaped bearing component.
  • the propeller shaft is passed through the sleeve-shaped component.
  • the sleeve-shaped component is in turn pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis on the frame.
  • the bearing component is pivotally mounted and can transmit this movement to the roller.
  • the roller is in turn pivotally mounted on the bearing component, so that it is also adjustable parallel to itself in order to adapt to the thickness of the filter tow.
  • the arrangement of the roller pair including the gear parts may be designed so that it can be attached to a conventional roller drive.
  • the frame has a vertical support plate on which Flanged on one side of the drive motor, as it is known.
  • a gear box for the gear transmission is mounted, which in turn allows the storage of the second roller.
  • the rollers can be mounted together with the gear box and the gear housed therein as a unit to the conventional support plate.
  • a second drive can be provided for the second roller, which preferably runs with a torque which compensates for the bearing friction. The speed of the second drive is adjusted so that the peripheral speed of both rollers is equal, so that friction in the nip does not occur.
  • the z. B. may be an air motor or a hydraulic motor, the contact pressure between the rollers can be reduced because the frictional forces of the bearings no longer need to be overcome.
  • an overrunning clutch is provided according to an embodiment of the invention for the fast startup phase of the machine up to production speed. This allows the second roller to follow the first one. Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to briefly increase the contact pressure during this startup time.
  • the system described last provides a relatively resilient drive which can easily compensate for variations in speed and ensures that the upper and lower rollers move in lockstep.
  • a support plate 10 can be seen, which is part of a machine frame of a machine, which serves for the preparation of a so-called filter tow.
  • a so-called filter tow To this plant belong two pairs of rolls, one of which is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the second pair may have the same structure or be conventional.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 an upper roller 12 and a lower roller 14 can be seen.
  • the upper hollow roll is made of metal, while the lower roll 14 has a hollow metal shell 16 and a rubber coating 18.
  • an electric motor 20 is flanged on the left side of the vertical support plate 10. Its drive shaft 22 is coupled via a coupling with a further shaft 24 which extends into a sleeve-shaped bearing body 26.
  • the bearing body 26 is flanged to a transmission housing 28 which receives two spur gears 30, 32.
  • the spur gear 30 is seated on the shaft 24 and meshes with the second spur gear 32.
  • the gear ratio is 1: 1.
  • the transmission housing 28 is fixedly connected to the support plate 10.
  • the shaft 24 is rotatably connected to a flange 34, which in turn is clamped within the roller 32. A rotation of the shaft 24 thus leads to a corresponding rotation of the roller 12.
  • the roller 12 is held centrally only at one point. The load is absorbed by the shaft 24, which is mounted by means of rolling bearings 36, 38 within the bearing body 26.
  • a bearing flange 40 is connected by screw mounting, which rotatably supports a pin 46 by means of two roller bearings 42, 44, which is rotatably connected to the lower spur gear 32.
  • a sleeve-shaped bearing component 50 is pivotally supported by the bearing flange 32. In FIGS. 1 to 3, this bearing takes place about a horizontal axis.
  • the sleeve-shaped bearing member 50 by means of two diametrically opposed bearing journals 52, 54, the inner rings of two bearings 56, 58.
  • the outer ring of the bearings 56, 58 is rotatably connected to the inside of the roller 14 ,
  • a flange 60 is connected, with which the right end of a propeller shaft 62 is coupled torsionally rigid.
  • the propeller shaft has a first universal joint 64 and a second universal joint 66, by means of which the latter an articulation takes place on the journal 46.
  • the propeller shaft 62 extends through the interior of the sleeve-shaped bearing member 50. The interior of which is protected by a protective membrane 68 against ingress of dirt.
  • an angular component 70 is screwed to the underside, which rests in Fig. 1 on a stop 72 which is connected to the transmission housing 28.
  • a pneumatic Verstellzylinderan extract 74 is articulated on the lower leg of the component 70. With the help of Verstellzylinderan effet 74 can thus be pivoted upwardly the lower roller, as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the pressure with which the two rollers 12, 14 are pressed against one another is predetermined by the pressure in the cylinder arrangement 74.
