Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for the assembly of packets for tobacco products.
  • Cigarette packets are composed conventionally of an inner wrapper, substantially parallelepiped in shape, fashioned generally from metal foil paper and enveloping a group of cigarettes, for example twenty in number, and an outer wrapper that can be either of rigid or of soft type.
  • the outer wrapper is fashioned from a flat diecut blank of paperboard prepared with longitudinal and transverse crease lines and cuts serving to delimit a plurality of panels and flaps that will combine, after a succession of folding operations, to form the structure of the outer wrapper.
  • the outer wrapper is again fashioned by completing a succession of folding operations, in this instance on a sheet of pliable paper separated by a cutting operation from a continuous strip decoiled from a respective roll.
  • Machines of prior art type able to manufacture such packets comprise a wrapping line equipped with infeed stations supplying the blanks or the sheets of paper, a station at which groups of cigarettes enveloped each in a relative inner wrapper of metal foil paper are taken up and paired with respective blanks or sheets of paper, a plurality of folding stations, and outfeed conveyor means from which the finished packets pass on to further machines.
  • Such machines are equipped with gluing devices, upstream of the folding means, that will spread or spray an adhesive substance onto selected portions of the wrapping material.
  • the adhesive dries to the point of setting and the outer wrapper can thus be rendered stable.
  • the adhesive employed is a cold-setting type, such as a vinyl or similar glue
  • it will require a certain length of time to dry to the point of setting, and accordingly, to ensure the outer wrapper can be properly stabilized during the course of this drying and setting interval, the packets must be subjected to the action of suitable restraint means, applied at least to the areas that have been glued.
  • the finished packets emerging from the aforementioned wrapping line can be directed, for example, along an outfeed channel consisting typically in pair of conveyor belts, each looped around two respective return pulleys of which one at least is power driven.
  • the active branches of the two belts are offered in contact to the flank faces of the assembled packet and extend mutually parallel, delimiting the aforementioned outfeed channel and functioning as the restraint means.
  • the machine will generally incorporate heated metal plates breasted with the reverse sides of the active branches, so that the flank faces of the packets, glued previously with the cold-setting adhesive, can be warmed in such a way as to bring about the curing process (evaporation of water) and the resulting stabilization of the outer wrapper more quickly.
  • the packets emerging from the restraint means may lose their stability and certain of the glued and joined parts may separate and lift, with the result that the packets are rendered defective and must be discarded.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for use in the assembly of packets containing tobacco products, such as will be unaffected by the drawbacks described above.
  • One particular object of the invention is to set forth a method and a device used in the assembly of packets for tobacco products such as will guarantee that all packets assembled are guaranteed free of gluing defects, regardless of any machine stoppages attributable, for example, to technical problems or maintenance requirements.
  • numeral 1 denotes a portion of a wrapping line, in its entirety, on which packets 2 for tobacco products are assembled in a packaging machine.
  • the wrapping line follows a predetermined path P along which sheets 3 of wrapping material, referred to commonly as blanks, or diecuts, are caused to advance in succession by suitable feed means of conventional embodiment (not illustrated in the drawings), following a feed direction denoted F.
  • components 4 serving to apply a layer or dab of cold-setting adhesive, denoted 8, on selected areas of the wrapping material, and folding means 5 such as will fashion an enclosed packet about a relative group 6 of cigarettes already enveloped, typically, in a leaf of metal foil paper.
  • the wrapping line 1 passes through a first and a second folding station illustrated schematically as two blocks 5a and 5b, positioned in sequence along the line 1, and on toward an outfeed stage 7 from which the finished packet 2 emerges.
  • the group 6 of cigarettes is placed on the blank 3 and directed thus into the first folding station 5a, whereupon the blank 3 is closed around the group 6 of cigarettes in familiar manner, neither described nor illustrated, except for the glued second lateral flaps 8b, which will be bent and secured to the corresponding flaps 8d at the second folding station 5b.
  • the wrapping line 1 further comprises an outfeed channel 9 placed to take up the finished packets 2 downstream of the folding means 5 and embodied as a pair of conveyor belts 10 each looped around two respective return pulleys 11 turning on vertical axes 12, of which one at least is power driven.
  • the active branches 13 of the two belts 10 placed in contact with the flanks of the packets 2 extend parallel one with another, delimiting the outfeed channel 9 and functioning as restraint means 14 by which the packets 2 are held firmly in such a way as to stabilize the outer wrapper satisfactorily.
  • the device according to the present invention comprises heater means 15 of which the function is to reactivate the cold-setting adhesive 8 applied to the aforementioned predetermined areas of the blank, in particular when the operating cycle of the packaging machine is interrupted for a given interval of time T, long enough for the bonding properties of the cold-setting adhesive to be lost yet short enough for the loss to be reversible by means of a heat-reactivation step.
  • the adhesive is warmed up to a predetermined reactivation temperature t r , at which it regains the bonding properties lost during the break in the operating cycle of the machine.
  • the device disclosed comprises processing means 16 such as will measure the time T elapsing in the event of a machine stoppage, when in receipt of a warning signal S from a device (not shown in the drawings) connected to the packaging machine and able to generate a start signal and a stop signal indicating the start and finish of a break in the operating cycle of the machine.
  • processing means 16 such as will measure the time T elapsing in the event of a machine stoppage, when in receipt of a warning signal S from a device (not shown in the drawings) connected to the packaging machine and able to generate a start signal and a stop signal indicating the start and finish of a break in the operating cycle of the machine.
  • the processing means 16 consist in metering means able to measure the duration of the stoppage when the machine is idle, and are connected to the heat reactivation means 15 by way of a control unit 17 governing the operation of these same means 15.
  • the stoppage time T is compared by the processing means 16 with a first predetermined critical time value T1 indicating that the adhesive will have lost its bonding properties and needs to be reactivated, and with a second predetermined critical time T2 indicating that the adhesive will have deteriorated beyond recovery and even the heat-reactivation step is no longer of any use.
  • the processing means 16 will respond by piloting the control unit 17 to initiate the heat reactivation step.
  • the step of heat-reactivating the cold-setting adhesive 8 is initiated after the folding step and concurrently, at least in part, with the restraint step.
  • the heat-reactivation means 15 are associated with the restraint means 14.
  • the heat-reactivation means 15 comprise heated metal plates 18 breasted with the active branches 13 of the two belts 10, on the reverse side.
  • the heat-reactivation step is brought about by associating heated restraining elements with each of the formed packets 2.
  • the method according to the invention might also include a cooling step, implemented following the step of reactivating the cold-setting adhesive 8 by the application of heat so as to avoid degrading the packet 2 and the warmed adhesive, through the agency of cooling plates installed in series with the heated plates 18 and breasted with the reverse faces of the active branches 13.
  • the plates could operate at ambient temperature, by way of example, or could be suitably cooled.
  • wrapping line could also incorporate means by which to dry the packets 2, downstream of the heat-reactivation means 15.
  • the drying means will comprise further plates dedicated to the drying step, located beyond the heated plates 18 and, if installed, the cooling plates.
  • drying plates would be breasted likewise with the active branches 13 of the belts 10 dedicated to heat-reactivation of the adhesive, on the reverse side, or alternatively mounted to other belts located further along the wrapping line.
  • the drying plates operate at a temperature t d lower than the reactivation temperature t r of the heated plates 18.
  • drying plates and the heated plates 18 could be one and the same, operating at different temperatures controllable selectively according to whether the plates are being utilized at a given moment to dry or to reactivate the adhesive 8.
  • the means 15 for heat-reactivation of the adhesive can be positioned upstream of the folding means 5, coming into operation before the folding step, or, if the folding means 5 comprise a plurality of folding stations 5a and 5b as in the example of figure 1 , the heat-reactivation means 15 can be positioned, additionally or alternatively, between one folding station 5a and the next folding station 5b.
  • the positioning and number of heat-reactivation means 15 will depend in any event on the effective structure of the device and the interval of time elapsing between application of the cold-setting adhesive to the predetermined areas of the blank, and subsequent association of these same areas with the respective areas to which they are bonded.
  • the heat-reactivation step could also be brought about by exposing the areas dabbed or sprayed with adhesive to convection, directing hot air from a convector heater, for example, or to radiated heat issuing from a suitable source.
  • the final part of the wrapping line is equipped with a wrapping wheel 19 set in rotation about a first horizontal axis 20, a conveyor and reject wheel 21 located substantially tangential to the wrapping wheel 19 and rotatable about a second horizontal axis 22, also a drying wheel 23 rotatable about a third horizontal axis 24 and an outfeed channel 9a similar in all respects to the outfeed channel 9 of figure 1 .
  • the channel 9a in question extends substantially parallel to the third horizontal axis 24 and is positioned on the same side of the drying wheel 23 as the wrapping and reject wheels 19 and 21.
  • the wrapping wheel 19 is supplied with diecut blanks 3 advanced singly and in succession by feed means indicated schematically by an arrow 26, each slotted radially into a respective radial cavity or pocket (not illustrated) of the wheel 19, together with a respective group 6 of cigarettes.
  • the blanks 3 are directed from an infeed station 27 through a plurality of folding stations 5, at which each one is bent by steps around the respective group 6 of cigarettes and secured in the folded position by means of the cold-setting adhesive, applied by two pairs of gluing nozzles 4a and 4b similar to those already described above with reference to figure 1 .
  • the nozzles 4a and 4b are positioned beneath the predetermined path P and designed thus to spread the adhesive 8 on a blank 3 as it passes above.
  • the folding steps performed on the blank 3 are completed in such a way that the packet arrives at the outfeed channel 9 in the finished state.
  • the wrapping, reject and drying wheels 19, 21 and 23 are set in rotation by an indexing device not illustrated in the drawings, and the transfer of the packets 2 from one wheel to another takes place with the two wheels motionless.
  • the aforementioned heat-reactivation means 15 are positioned next to the wrapping wheel 19 and/or to the outfeed channel 9a.
  • the wrapping line of figure 2 is equipped with cooling plates 28 of the type mentioned previously, though not indicated in figure 1 , installed along the outfeed channel 9a in sequence with the heated plates 18.
  • heating elements 15a located at several points along the circumferential path of the wrapping wheel 19, albeit in practice a limited number of such elements could be adopted, according to requirements, shaped and proportioned to match the glued areas of the blank 3 that need heating.
  • the heating elements 15a are placed in such a way that, as the blank 3 advances and folds partially around the group 6 of cigarettes, the predetermined areas on which adhesive 8 has been deposited will pass in close proximity to the positions occupied by the elements 15a and receive the heat emitted by them.
  • the method and the device according to the invention are able to guarantee the successful gluing and stabilization of packets even in the event of breaks in production occurring.
  • the proportion of defective packets rejected as presenting unstuck folds can be considerably reduced, if not totally eliminated.
