Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for staggering rod-shaped article segments of the tobacco processing industry, in particular filter rod segments, each article segment groups each with more than two longitudinally juxtaposed article segments in transverse axial conveying direction groups by means of a conveying member, in particular conveyor drum, a staggering device for staggering the article segments supplied become.
  • multi-segment filters consisting of different filter segments, such as different materials. These materials are, for example, cellulose acetate, paper, fluid, granules, sintered elements, hollow cylinders or hollow chambers, capsules and the like.
  • Such multi-segment filters composed of several filter segments, which also include the term "multiple filter" After forming groups of filter segments, for example, they are wrapped in a continuous process with wrapping material, such as paper, for example, and then divided into, in particular multi-long, multi-segment filter rods in order to be further processed.
  • the group forming device comprises two magazines for filter rods, wherein the multiply long filter rods are removed from the magazines individually, cut into filter segments and different cut filter segments are grouped together.
  • a device or machine of this type of HAUNI Maschinenbau AG, Hamburg, for the production of multi-segment filters with two different filter components is known under the name MULFI, wherein the devices may further also have a corresponding strand-forming device and / or a group-forming device.
  • Articles of the tobacco processing industry are understood in the present context to mean those products which, in one or more parallel rows, are conveyed on conveyors, e.g. on conveyor drums in filter or cigarette manufacturing machines, held and by these, preferably transaxially conveyed.
  • Such articles are filter cigarettes as well as filter rods, filter segments, etc. If, for the sake of simplicity, only filter rods or filter segments are discussed below, then what has been said also applies correspondingly to other articles of the aforementioned type to be conveyed.
  • the object of the invention is to provide article segments of the tobacco processing industry when staggering, in particular narrow, article segments, such as e.g. Filter rod segments, safe to handle.
  • the invention is based on the idea that when staggering article segments, e.g. Filter bar segments, a filter bar segment or multiple filter bar segments as an article segment subgroup on the staggering device, in particular staggering drum, staggered, with an article segment subgroup being arranged in a staging step as a second article segment subgroup after the first article segment subgroup in the subsequent stub of the staggering device that is not immediately adjacent to the first item subgroup taken from the provided article segment group is arranged on the transferring conveying member.
  • article segments e.g. Filter bar segments, a filter bar segment or multiple filter bar segments as an article segment subgroup on the staggering device, in particular staggering drum, staggered
  • filter segments which are also referred to as filter rod segments are conveyed in the arrangement segment 1 - segment 2 - segment 3 - segment 4 on a conveyor drum to a staggering drum as segment group to be staggered.
  • segment 2 is first taken between segment 1 and segment 3.
  • Segment 2 forms the article segment subgroup arranged on the staggering drum.
  • the segment 1 and segment 3 adjacent to the removed segment 2 are not transferred to the staggering drum. Rather, that's about one Segment length to segment 2 spaced outer segment 4 arranged after the transferred segment 2 of the segment group on the staggering drum.
  • segment 4 is spaced from the spaced segment 1 on the staggering drum.
  • segment 3 is arranged as the last segment subgroup on the staggering drum.
  • the segment subgroups are staggered in the following order: Segment 2 - Segment 4 - Segment 1 - Segment 3.
  • segment subgroups are not moved in the longitudinal axial direction, so that the On the staggering drum arranged in succession staggered segments are not aligned in the longitudinal axial direction and thus in the longitudinal axial direction also have the same distances as on the preceding conveyor organ on which the article group was provided with the segments.
  • each article segment subgroup is staggered to consist of one filter segment or of several filter segments, wherein in particular when several filter segments are provided for an article segment subgroup, the article segment subgroups each have the same or approximately the same number of article segments.

  • an article group with eleven adjacently arranged article segments is conveyed to the staggering device, it is possible to arrange two article segment subgroups, each with four article segments, and one article segment subgroup with three article segments staggered on the staggering device one behind the other.
  • the article segment subsets are unequal, i.
  • a staggering drum with an uneven pitch i. used or used with an uneven pitch between the receiving troughs of the staggering drum.
  • the third tiered segment subgroup segment 1 is spaced two lengths of equally sized segments with respect to the second segment segment transferring segment 4.
  • This method step is also carried out, for example, according to the above four-segment embodiment, since the fourth staggered article segment group segment 3 is spaced by an article segment subgroup length to the third previously transmitted article segment subgroup segment 1 in the longitudinal axial direction.
  • At least two staggering process steps are carried out in which staggered article segment subgroups are taken from the article group provided, which was previously on the staggering drum arranged article segment subgroup in the longitudinal axial direction is spaced by at least a length of the article segment subgroups.
  • this process step of sequential staggering is carried out a total of three times.
  • these two article segment subgroups are or will be in the longitudinal axial direction and at least one or more lengths of the article segment subgroups arranged on the staggering device or the staggering drum.
  • a development of the method is characterized in that prior to the transfer to the first relaying device, the first article segment subgroup to be staggered or staggered and / or the third article segment subgroup to be staggered or staggered are formed as an article segment subgroup between the two outer article segment subgroups of the article segment group.
  • the recording of a first segment subgroup on the staggering drum between the two outer article segment subgroups takes place, for example, in the case of a four-segment article segment group on the conveying element arranged in the staggering device and conveying the article segment groups.
  • the removal or transfer of a first and third article segment subgroup in the order of staggering between outer or outer article segment subgroups can take place, for example, in a five-segment article segment group.
