Description

The present invention is a method for producing a filter cigarette,
In that case, the tobacco stock having a double length is cut into a tobacco stock having a single length and spaced apart in the longitudinal axis direction.
Then, between each of these longitudinally spaced pairs of tobacco stock, one double length filter plug is inserted, and
These double-length filter plugs relate to the above method in a manner in which each double-length filter plug, together with both double-length cigarette stocks, is joined by wrapping with a piece of binding paper.

  In the filter mounting machine, one double-length filter piece, i.e. a mouthpiece piece, is inserted between each of the cut and longitudinally spaced tobacco stocks. A glued piece of bonded paper is attached to the tobacco stock-suction piece-tobacco stock group. In this case, the glued pieces of bound paper are supplied to a group of cigarette stock-suction piece-cigarette stock conveyed at a predetermined pitch interval via a suction roller of the coated paper device.

  The predetermined pitch spacing means in this case the spacing in the direction of the horizontal axis between the goods to be transported or the goods components.

  In particular, the concept of “pitch interval” means the interval in the horizontal axis direction of the receiving recesses of the transport drum, and the smoking article group is arranged and transferred into these receiving recesses. This spacing is measured from the recess center point to the subsequent center point of the recess transporter that transports the smoking article group on the surface. The pitch interval in one recess carrier is therefore the horizontal axis interval, ie the length of the (circle) arc between the (adjacent) recess center points on the circumference, above this circumference. The center points of these recesses are provided. In the case of a linear recess conveyance body, this pitch interval corresponds to a linear interval in the direction of the horizontal axis between the recess center point or the recess center line.

  In order to prepare a filter cigarette that is transported in the horizontal direction on the filter mounting machine, the performance of this filter mounting machine is over time in relation to the filter cigarettes produced and released per unit of time. It must be repeatedly improved dramatically or adapted to the increased capacity of a cigarette continuum making machine connected to the front.

  From WO 2004/002246 pamphlet (Patent Document 1), a smoking article component consisting of a group of tobacco stock-double length filter-tobacco stock is placed on a coated paper device with a preset horizontal axis distance from each other. It is known to supply and thus a piece of coated paper is attached to these smoking article groups. The preset interval between the smoking article groups approximately corresponds to the length of the coated paper piece supplied from the coated paper device, in which case the interval between the smoking article groups is practically the paper small piece. It must not be less than or less than one length.

Furthermore, German Patent Application Publication No. 44 22 280 (Patent Document 2) describes a method for producing a filter cigarette,
A series of tobacco articles are transported at a horizontal axis spacing that is approximately the same as the length of each piece of bound paper and not less than this length.
International Publication No. 2004/002246 Pamphlet German Patent Application No. 44 22 280

  Thus, starting from this known technique, the object of the present invention is to guarantee a high product quality of smoking articles, even in the case of relatively high production performance of filter-equipped machines, In particular, the cost of changing the device is kept as small as possible, especially when changing to other smoking article diameters.

This challenge is
A method for producing a filter cigarette comprising:
In that case, the tobacco stock having a double length is cut into a tobacco stock having a single length and spaced apart in the longitudinal axis direction.
Then, between each of these longitudinally spaced pairs of tobacco stock, one double length filter plug is inserted, and
In the above method of the mode in which these double length filter plugs are joined together by wrapping with a piece of binding paper, together with both double length tobacco stocks,
In this way, a double length tobacco stock and / or a single length tobacco stock is smaller than the length of the bound paper piece relative to the adjacent tobacco stock prior to insertion of the filter plug. This is solved by an improved method by being transported at intervals in the transverse direction.

  The present invention is based on the idea that such drum lines are used in filter mounting machines due to different sizes, in particular diameters, in tobacco stock or smoking articles. Along with this, these drums only have to be exchanged for items of different sizes in diameter, and therefore in the structure relating to the conception of this filter mounting machine and the geometry of these drums or drum bodies. No change in the geometric shapes is necessary.

  Based on the lateral spacing between the two transported tobacco stocks or smoking articles, i.e. the pitch spacing, which is smaller than the length of the coated paper piece to be deposited, the production performance of the filter mounting machine is improved. Conventionally, the concept of filter cigarette manufacturing in a filter mounting machine has been that the horizontal axis interval, that is, the pitch interval, is preset or preset according to the length of the binding paper piece, and accordingly, the production performance However, it was based on being limited by this. Here, the subject of the present invention is that the tobacco stock, or smoking article, is set in advance of the length of the binding paper piece before one binding paper piece is attached to the smoking article group. It is based on being transported at short intervals.

  For the purposes described above, the horizontal spacing of the double length tobacco stock or the single length tobacco stock is more than the length of the bound paper strip before insertion of the filter plug. It is changed or reduced to a small interval in the horizontal axis direction. By reducing the distance before the insertion of the filter plugs, the filter plugs are also transported with a distance in the horizontal axis direction that is smaller than the length of the binding paper pieces when the filter plugs are inserted. As a result, the processing without impairing the quality of these filter plugs can be obtained. This is because these filter plugs are transported in the drum line at a relatively low speed during delivery.

  Furthermore, it is advantageous if the lateral spacing of double or single length tobacco stock is reduced after delivery of the tobacco stock from the cigarette continuum making machine to the filter mounting machine.

In particular, 2x or 1x length cigarette stock, before the reduction of the horizontal spacing,
The paper is transported at a distance in the direction of the horizontal axis that is equal to or greater than the length of the binding paper pieces.

  According to an advantageous further configuration of the invention, the double-length filter plugs, when inserted between longitudinally spaced pairs of tobacco stocks, are adjacent to the adjacent filter plugs of these tobacco stock pairs. Thus, the paper is transported at intervals in the horizontal axis direction that are smaller than the length of the combined paper piece. This provides a process and transport that does not impair the quality of the filter plugs upon insertion of the filter plugs between the pair of tobacco stocks.

  In other embodiments, the insertion of double length filter plugs between longitudinally spaced pairs of tobacco stock increases the lateral spacing between the pairs of tobacco stock. . This achieves increased spacing, for example on the transport drum, in forming the tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group. In aligning these tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock groups, for example, the longitudinally spaced pairs of tobacco stock are accelerated relative to the alignment drum during delivery, and therefore follow the tobacco. The distance in the horizontal direction relative to the stock pair is increased each time.

  In an alternative embodiment, the tobacco is inserted after insertion of a double length filter plug between the longitudinally spaced pairs of tobacco stock, and thus in a further or subsequent transfer step. It is proposed that the lateral spacing between the formed tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group is increased only after alignment of the stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group. This increase in the horizontal spacing takes place, for example, during the transfer of the formed smoking article group on the alignment drum after the alignment of the tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group. These smoking article groups are then delivered to the subsequent transport mechanism at larger intervals.

  For the above purposes, after the horizontal spacing has been increased, the tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group is transported with a horizontal spacing equal to or less than the length of the bound paper pieces. More advantageous.

  In particular, cigarette stock and / or filter plugs are transported with a lateral spacing from 18 mm to 28 mm, in particular from 18 mm to 22 mm. These spacings are usually less than the length of a typical bonded paper piece, typically greater than 32 mm.

  In addition, the method includes a group of tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock that is fed as a first and second group of items to a single coated paper device, respectively, and a single piece of bonded paper for each. It is improved by having it. This allows one half of the article (a first group with a group of tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock) of one coated paper apparatus and the other half of the article of the other coated paper apparatus. Each of the (second group of tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group) comprises a piece of binding paper.

  Furthermore, the first and second group of items are delivered to a common rolling device, and the first and second group of items are wound in the rolling device by a binding paper piece. This is advantageous. By wrapping these items (cigarette stock-filter plug-cigarette stock group) in a single track, a simple construction is possible in a simultaneous compact construction. With the arrangement of only one rolling device for all product groups, material and costs are saved.

For the above purpose, the first and second group of items are first supplied to the first coated paper device,
These first group of items are equipped with a piece of bound paper from the first coated paper device, then
These first and second groups of items are delivered to a common rolling device over different transport paths,
In this case, these second items are supplied to the second coated paper device along the transport path of the second item and are equipped with a piece of bound paper.

  In particular, the transport speed of the first and / or second group of items on the transport body is changed before and / or after the delivery of the respective bound paper pieces. Along with this, adaptation of the speed situation of the goods to be transported to the coated paper supply is possible by the purposeful control of the speed of the tobacco goods. This adaptation is made independent of the remaining product flow and speed at the paper travel speed in the filter loading machine before and / or after the application or attachment of the bonded paper pieces. Throughout the speed change, these tobacco articles or tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock groups are grouped and moved individually, in pairs, or in any appropriate number of quantities. In so doing, not only the speed but also the spacing of these tobacco product groups is changed.

  In an advantageous embodiment, the items in the first and / or second group are decelerated before delivery of the bound paper pieces.

  Furthermore, the first and / or second group of items are accelerated after delivery of the bound paper pieces.

  A further improvement is achieved by the bonded paper pieces being partially attached after delivery to the first and / or second group of items. For the attachment of the free end of one piece of binding paper to one cigarette article, a folding star or a so-called rolling star is provided. In particular, the leading free end of the binding paper piece is attached to the item.

  In a further configuration, the second group of items is removed by a common transport drum for the first and second group of items. In this case, these first and second groups of items are fed to the coated paper device for the first group prior to removal of the second group of items.

  Furthermore, advantageously, the first and second groups of items are arranged alternately on one transport drum during the combination of these item groups, so that these items are in common rolls. Supplied to the device.

  In particular, the bound paper pieces are delivered at a constant rate to the first and / or second group of items.

  The present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the drawings, without limitation of the general inventive idea, with reference to these drawings, in all other respects. It is clearly indicated in connection with the detailed matters of the present invention not described in detail in this specification.

  In the figures, the same or similar elements and / or members are indicated with the same reference numerals, respectively, so that the updated concept is not an issue.

In FIG. 1, the filter mounting machine is partially illustrated in a front view,
In this case, the filter mounting machine receives from the schematically drawn cigarette continuum making machine P a double-length tobacco stock via a drum arrangement T for feeding tobacco stock. A cigarette continuum making machine is known under the applicant's name “PROTOS”.

  On the conveying path of these double use length tobacco stocks to the alignment drum 21, these double use length tobacco stocks are cut and expanded. On this alignment drum 21 a further double filter plug is transferred via a further drum arrangement M, each of which has two longitudinally spaced tobacco stocks. Inserted between. This forms a series of arrangements of tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock groups arranged on the alignment drum 21 one after the other in the horizontal axis direction.

The aligned product group is transferred from the aligning drum 21 to the transport drum 22 and the coated paper apparatus 10 for the first group 50 in the aligned tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group. 1 is transferred. German patent 39 18 137 describes a coated paper device in detail, which is sufficiently broad and is based on the content of the present application. .
German Patent No. 39 18 137

  The coated paper strip 11.1 glued and transported in the coated paper device 10.1 is placed on the cutting drum 12.1 by the cutter of the cutter drum 13.1, the coated paper strip, i.e. the bound paper strip 40. Cut to 1. These cut pieces of bound paper 40.1 are delivered to or attached to the first group 50 item group on the transport drum 22.

EP 1 466 535 describes a method for integrating smoking article components, in which a first group of articles, and Two groups of items are depicted (see FIGS. 2, 3, 4a and 4b). Within this European patent application, these first group of articles, each comprising a group of tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock, are provided with reference numeral 50. Reference numeral 60 designates these second group of items, which also comprises a group of tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock. The disclosure of this known European patent application is sufficiently broad and is based on the disclosure content of this patent application.
European Patent Application Publication No. 1 466 535

After attaching the binding paper pieces 40.1 to the first group of items 50, these first group (50) and second group (60) items are further transported, in this connection. The front end of the piece of paper 40.1 protrudes in these product groups 40.1.
2 to 4, these first group of item groups are indicated by reference numeral 50 and these second group of item groups are indicated by reference numeral 60. The bound paper pieces for these item groups 50 are indicated with the reference numeral 40.1.

  Articles 50, 60 are transported to the attachment and removal drum 24, so that the attachment and removal drum 24 picks up the group of items 60 that are not provided with the binding paper pieces, and of the binding paper pieces 40.1. A front end is attached to each of these items 50. This attachment and removal drum 24 thus simultaneously combines the functions of a folding star (for the product group 50) and a removal drum (for the product group 60).

  The adhering and unloading drum 24 delivers the removed second group of items to the transport drum 25, which transports the second group of items 60 to the coated paper device 10.2. The coated paper strip 11.2 is conveyed in the paper device 10.2. This second coated paper device 10.2 is equipped with a cutter roller 13.2, which cuts the coated paper strip 11.2 in cooperation with the suction roller 12.2.

  The piece of bound paper cut from the coated paper strip 11.2 is delivered to and attached to a tobacco article, ie a tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group 60. The front end of the binding paper piece is then attached along the item 60 on the transport drum 25 using a folding star 23.2. In this connection, reference is clearly made to FIG. 3 of EP 1 466 535 (Patent Document 4), in which this process is illustrated and described.

  The transport drum 25 transports the second group of items 60 to the drum 26. This transport drum 26 simultaneously contains a first group of items 50 that have been transported on the transport drum 22 and separately, so that the first group of items (50) and the second group ( 60) items are alternately arranged on this drum.

  The items of the first and second groups 50, 60 are then transferred to a rolling device 27 having a rolling block, so that the bound paper pieces are completely removed from the tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock. It is wound around the groups 50 and 60. The finished product 50, 60 is then delivered to the transport drum 28 and to another transport drum 29 and prepared for further processing in the filter mounting machine. In particular, a filter cigarette having a use length of 1 time is manufactured from a filter cigarette having a length of 2 times.

  In FIGS. 2 to 4, embodiments for drum arrangements T and M according to the invention (see FIG. 1) are illustrated, using these drum arrangements in the direction of the horizontal axis with respect to adjacent article components. It is possible to transport smoking articles or cigarette stocks or smoking article component groups with a spacing of ½, where the horizontal spacing is cut from the coated paper strip 11.1 or 11.2. Less than the length of the combined paper piece.

  To supply a double length filter plug, the filter rod is removed from the reservoir using the take-out drum 200 and using one or a number of cutting cutters 205 along the take-out drum 200. Are cut once or several times and delivered to the ladder arrangement drum 210. On the ladder arrangement drum 210, the cut filter plugs are arranged in a ladder arrangement and delivered to a sliding drum 220, on which the filter plugs are arranged in a series of horizontal axis directions. It is formed into filter plugs arranged one after the other. The filter plugs are then delivered from the sliding drum 220 to the accelerating drum 230 so that the filter plugs are inserted over the supply drum 150.

  In the drum array T, the double length of filter stock delivered from the filter continuum manufacturing machine is accommodated by the receiving drum 100 and transferred to the speed reduction drum 110. When the double-length filter stock is delivered from the receiving drum 100 to the speed reduction drum 110, the distance in the horizontal axis direction between the double-length filter stock is determined by the coated paper device (see FIG. 1) (see reference numerals 10.1, 10.2 of 1), which is reduced to a size smaller than the length of the piece of bound paper.

  Subsequently, the double length tobacco stock is delivered from the speed reduction drum 110 to the cutting drum 120, and the double length tobacco stock is cut in the center using the cutting cutter 125 on the cutting drum. Thus, a single use length of tobacco stock is formed on the cutting drum 120. The cut cigarette stock is transferred from the cutting drum 120 to the spreading drum 130, and on the jet drum, the cut cigarette stock having a length of 1 is separated in the longitudinal axis direction. This creates a gap between the longitudinally spaced pairs of tobacco stock, into which a filter plug is then inserted.

  Subsequent to the spreading drum 130, the longitudinally spaced tobacco stock is delivered to the transport drum 140, which delivers the tobacco stock to the supply drum 150 and thus on the supply drum 150. An article group consisting of a group of tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock is formed. These formed smoking article groups are transferred from the supply drum to the transport drum 22 and, therefore, each of the smoking article groups is attached with a piece of bound paper in the manner described above.

  In the case of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the cigarette stock is delivered from the receiving drum 100 to the speed reduction drum 110 and then from the transport drum 140 to the supply drum 150 until it is delivered to the supply drum 150 (see, eg The paper is transported with a shortened horizontal axis direction distance smaller than the length of 40.1).

  During the delivery of a single length of tobacco stock from the transport drum 140 to the supply drum 150, the lateral spacing between the tobacco stocks is increased by the acceleration of the transported tobacco stock during the delivery. Thus, the lateral spacing of the tobacco stock and filter plug on the supply drum 150 is such that the tobacco stock transported on the drum 140 or the filter plug on the acceleration drum 230 It is larger than the interval in the horizontal axis direction.

  In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the tobacco stock or filter plug is transported through the drum array M or T, as described above. In this embodiment—unlike the example in FIG. 2—the length of these cigarette stocks is not accelerated during delivery from the take-out drum 140 to the supply drum 150, but rather is shortened accordingly. It is delivered to the supply drum 150 at intervals in the horizontal axis direction. For this purpose, these filter plugs are in the direction of the horizontal axis as much as the tobacco stock in the region from the acceleration drum 230 to the supply drum 150 and likewise from the deceleration drum 110 to the take-out drum 140. It is conveyed with the interval of.

  After the formation of the cigarette stock-filter plug-cigarette stock group on the supply drum 150, the spacing from the supply drum 150 to the transport drum 22 is increased accordingly. Upon delivery of the stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group, these groups of goods are delivered with an increased spacing in the horizontal axis, with the increased horizontal spacing being the smoking It is larger than the length of the bonded paper piece attached to the item component group.

  In particular, in the case of the embodiment in FIG. 3, the supply drum 150 is formed as a drum in which the distance in the direction of the horizontal axis between the articles conveyed in the case of the drum can be changed. Advantageously, the supply drum 150 is formed with a cam-controlled movable small arm (Aermchen), or other such item, so that the goods to be conveyed can be conveyed. The spacing in the horizontal axis direction can be varied. The distance in the horizontal axis direction in the transport area from the storage of the tobacco stock from the take-out drum 140 to the delivery of the formed tobacco stock-filter plug-tobacco stock group to the transport drum 22 is Will be increased. In the region from the acceleration drum 230 to the storage of the filter plug after the delivery of the goods to the transport drum 22, the space between the empty housing parts is reduced, so that the transport was carried at a constant space. A filter plug is inserted.

  Optionally, in the area from the acceleration drum 230 to the storage of the filter plug after the delivery of the goods to the transport drum 22, the spacing between the empty storage parts is first kept constant. And after the filter plug is received from the accelerating drum 230.

  In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, the tobacco stock extends from the containment of double length tobacco stock to the speed reduction drum 110 to the delivery of the smoking article group 60 to the attachment and removal drum 24. Within the region, the sheets are transported at a certain interval in the horizontal axis direction that is smaller than the length of the binding paper pieces 40.1 attached to the tobacco product group 50.

  Only after removal of the product group 60 from the transport drum 22 is the spacing of the smoking product group on this transport drum 22 increased.

  In FIGS. 2 to 4, regions of different pitch intervals are schematically depicted.

The delivery area is indicated by the reference symbol U in these figures. After delivery of the tobacco stock from the receiving drum to the speed reduction drum 110, the tobacco stock is transported with a lateral spacing that is less than the length of the bonded paper pieces that are or are to be deposited. This region is displayed with a reference numeral B _1.

After the adjacent article groups or intervals of the horizontal axis direction between the tobacco stock, it is increased smoking article component, with a large horizontal axial spacing than the spacing of the transverse axis direction in the region B ₁ is conveyed to each other The The transport region is displayed with a reference numeral B _2.

Advantageously, the distance in the transverse direction in the transfer area B ₁ ranges from 18 mm to 28 mm, in particular from 18 mm to 22 mm, and in the transfer area B ₂ from 24 mm to 32 mm. It has a size up to.

  According to the invention, a high product quality of smoking articles in a filter-equipped machine is achieved, in which the drum array T is formed so that a number of different sizes, in particular diameters, in tobacco stock or smoking articles are conveyed. ing. This keeps the costs low for changing the device during the size change, especially when changing to other smoking article diameters in this type of filter mounting machine.
