Definitions

  • the invention relates to a piecing machine and a method for producing a rod-shaped article of the tobacco-processing industry.
  • a proven filter attachment machine of the Applicant is for example from the DE 40 08 475 A1 known and sold under the name "MAX".
  • Conventional filter attachment machines are designed for processing double-length tobacco articles. In a wrapping area, a double-length filter bar is placed symmetrically in the center of the machine. A tobacco stick is arranged laterally on the outside of the double-length filter rod. The tipping paper is fed centrally into the wrapping area and wrapped around the filter bar and the tobacco sticks by means of a roller to connect it to the filter bar. The double cigarette thus produced is cut in half to produce two individual filter cigarettes.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a structurally proven attachment machine and a corresponding method, which enable a production of rod-shaped tobacco articles with geometry that deviates significantly from the conventional geometry.
  • a wrapper strip that is twice the width of conventional scales can be used in the present invention as a single-width wrapper strip to make a single-length tobacco article with a relatively long filter rod.
  • the machine centerline lies in the center plane or plane of symmetry of the rotating rollers, more precisely the provided on the outer periphery of the rollers wells for conveying rod-shaped articles or article components, and therefore designates the center line of the product run through the piecing machine when the piecing machine fitted over the entire roll width would.
  • the first and second rod-shaped parts are in particular filter rods and tobacco rods.
  • the offset ⁇ x between the wrap strip centerline and the machine centerline is greater than half the width of the wrapper strip and / or greater than half the length of a filter bar and / or greater than the length of a tobacco stick.
  • the piecing machine On both sides of the machine center line or center of the machine is in each case a production line, briefly referred to as a web.
  • the piecing machine according to the invention is advantageously equipped in operation only on one path starting from the machine center with rod-shaped articles or article components, while the other web remains unpopulated.
  • the articles are thus processed in the process area or in the process level in one lane, while the second lane remains article-free on the other side of the machine center.
  • the wrapping strip centerline is offset from the machine centerline to an operating side of the piecing machine. The processing in the piecing is then better visible to the operator, which facilitates the operation.
  • the free end of one of the rod-shaped parts is arranged in the wrapping area in the machine center line.
  • one of the other bar-shaped parts is arranged starting from the machine center line to one side, preferably inside one of the bar-shaped parts and externally attached thereto.
  • the tobacco sticks and the outside of the filter rods are arranged relative to the machine center line inside.
  • the filter rods can be arranged on the inside and the tobacco rods on the outside.
  • the transfer of rod-shaped articles from the upstream machine to the piecing machine is advantageously carried out completely cross-axially.
  • Such a preferred handover is also referred to as a "direct link".
  • a rod-shaped article cross-axially promoting adapter module is arranged between the attachment machine and the upstream machine.
  • the upstream one Machine may advantageously comprise at least one feed module with a storage container for feeding a rod-shaped component.
  • the upstream machine may comprise a group forming device for assembling groups of filter segments to produce multi-segment filter bars.
  • Fig. 1 schematically shows a rod-shaped tobacco article 10 with a significantly different from a conventional filter cigarette construction.
  • the tobacco article 10 comprises a relatively short tobacco rod 11 of length LT and a relatively long filter rod 12 of length LF, which here consists of two segments 13, 14, but also of more than two segments, in particular for example of three segments (see below), can exist.
  • the length LF of the filter rod 12 is in particular greater than the length LT of the tobacco rod 11.
  • the filter rod 12 is attached to the tobacco rod 11 by means of a relatively wide padding paper leaflet 15 of width BU> LT.
  • the width BP of the tipping paper strip 29 does not allow the conventional processing of a double-length rod-shaped article having centrally disposed double-width tipping paper 15 in a conventional tipping machine.
  • the Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b show an inventive machine assembly 20 for the production of rod-shaped tobacco articles 10 with a predominantly conventional Filteransetzmaschine 21, ie advantageously without the need for a complete redevelopment of a Filteransetzmaschine.
  • the predominantly vertical drum barrel 23 corresponds to the usual filter run in the case of conventionally produced filter cigarettes, but is reversed in this embodiment of the invention used for feeding the tobacco sticks 11.
  • the magazine 22 may be dispensable when the tobacco sticks 11 are entered directly and ordered or clocked in the drum barrel 23.
  • the filter rods 12 are transaxially conveyed and processed via driven drums 25, which form a predominantly horizontal drum run, by a preceding machine 26 in the wrapping region 24.
  • the drum barrel 25 corresponds to the usual drum barrel for tobacco rod feed in the case of conventionally produced filter cigarettes, but in this embodiment of the invention is used inversely for feeding the filter rods 12.
  • a tipping paper strip 29 is withdrawn from a reel 30, glued, on a tipping roller 31 of a knife drum 32 in successive tufts 15 (see Fig. 3 ), sequentially adhered to a transfer drum 34 on successive filter rod tobacco rod units and rolled on a roller drum 35 by means of a rolling hand 36 around the filter rod tobacco rod units, whereby the filter rod 12 is connected to the tobacco rod 11.
  • the finished rod-shaped articles 10 are output by means of an output device 39 from the piecing machine 21.
  • the piecing machine 21 is therefore, as usual, the last machine in the production line for producing the rod-shaped articles 10.
  • the drum barrel 49 from the wrapping area 24 to the dispenser 39 may advantageously be conventional and therefore does not need to be redesigned.
  • the upstream machine 26, in this embodiment, for example, a filter-making machine, is advantageous via a direct link (Direct Link) with the Ansetzmaschine 21st Direct connection or direct link may include that the transfer ordered or clocked and / or exclusively takes place transaxially without L jossaxialassuming, wherein advantageously each filter rod 12 hand over individually becomes.

  • Ansetzmaschine 21st Direct connection or direct link may include that the transfer ordered or clocked and / or exclusively takes place transaxially without L Lucassaxialassuming, wherein advantageously each filter rod 12 hand over individually becomes.
  • Fig. 2b shows a schematic plan view of the course of the tobacco sticks 11 and filter rods 12 in the machine assembly 20 according to Fig. 2a from above.
  • the axial positions correspond to the Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b (see Fig. 4a, Fig. 4b ).
  • Fig. 2b shows a schematic plan view of the course of the tobacco sticks 11 and filter rods 12 in the machine assembly 20 according to Fig. 2a from above.
  • the axial positions correspond to the Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b (see Fig. 4a, Fig. 4b ).
  • Fig. 2b shows a schematic plan view of the course of the tobacco sticks 11 and filter rods 12 in the machine assembly 20 according to Fig. 2a from above.
  • the axial positions correspond to the Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b (see Fig. 4a, Fig. 4b ).
  • Fig. 2b shows a schematic plan view of the course of the tobacco sticks 11 and filter rods 12 in the
  • the tipping paper 29, 15 is arranged in the wrapping area 24 such that the center MU of the tipping paper run 29, 15 is offset from the machine center MM by a positive amount ⁇ x.
  • the invention achieves that with a conventional tipping paper 29, the width of which is designed for conventional double-length filter cigarettes (wrapping of a conventional double filter), single-length articles 15, for example according to FIG Fig. 1 can be wrapped with a much broader tipping paper than is possible with a conventional Filteransetzmaschine without the invention.
  • the functions of the piecing machine 21 that follow the casing are essentially identical to the functions of a conventional filter attachment machine.
  • the amount .DELTA.x is advantageously greater than the length LT of the tobacco rods 11, greater than half the width (0.5 BU) of the tipping paper strip 29 or of the tipping paper leaflet 15 and / or greater than half the length (0.5 LF) of the filter rod 12
  • the wrapping strip centerline MU is advantageously forward relative to the machine centerline MM, ie, toward the operating side of the piecing machine 21 (downward in FIG Fig. 2b ) arranged so that the processing in the piecing machine 21 is better visible to the operator.
  • Out Fig. 2b It can also be seen that in the piecing machine 21, processing takes place only on one path (starting from the machine center on the lower side in FIG Fig.

  • the attachment machine 21 is here in particular a MAX M series of the applicant, for example a MAX M5, with extensive testing options and great structural flexibility.
  • the production plant 40 comprises a machine 41, for example an applicant's AF-KDF, for producing multiply long rods 14a for segments 14 of the filter rods 12.
  • the multiple-length rods 14a are connected to a feed module 43a, for example a MERLIN soft module of the Applicant, and from there the filter making machine 26, for example a KDF of the applicant, for producing the filter rods 12 pass.
  • the production plant 40 optionally comprises a machine 42, for example a KDF with Tubeformiki of the applicant for producing a multi-length bar 13a for segments 13 of the filter rods 12.
  • the multi-length bars 14a to an optional feed module 43b, for example, a MERLIN soft module of the applicant, and there also passed to the filter manufacturing machine 26.
  • the feed modules 43a, 43b each include a reservoir 48 (see Fig. 4a ) for the bars 13a and 14a, respectively.
  • the feed modules 43a, 43b thus form a group forming device 43 for assembling groups of filter segments 13, 14 for producing multi-segment filter rods 12 in the filter rod manufacturing machine 26.
