Description

Description of the invention

Installation for the manufacture of cigarettes (variants) and the method of controlling the manufacture of cigarettes on the installation 2 This invention relates to the manufacture of cigarettes with a filter and to control systems for controlling cigarette and filter collecting machines.

Cigarette and filter collecting machines are well known. Usually, the cigarettes produced by the cigarette machine are automatically transferred to the filter-harvesting machine by means of a transfer device.

The filter packer adds the filter to the cigarette and wraps the rim paper around the 70 filter cigarette pack. Finished cigarettes are then transferred to the packaging post.

In recent times, productivity has been increased by making double-length lengths of cigarette rod. These double-length segments are transferred to the filter-harvesting machine as a whole. In the process of transmission, the double length is cut in the middle, the two lengths of the rod, which have a single length, are pushed apart, and a filter of double length is inserted between the spread lengths of the rod. Wrap the rim paper around, and then cut the filter in the middle to get two finished cigarettes. Since these cigarettes are oriented in opposite directions in the filter assembly machine, one of the cigarettes is then turned before transferring the finished product to the packaging machine.

Traditionally, cigarette machines are almost entirely mechanically driven and controlled. The various devices for movement and turning in these machines are driven through appropriate mechanical transmissions from the main drive. In recent years there has been a trend to replace some of these bulky transmissions with a sequence of independent servo motors synchronized with each other.

We believe that the cigarette manufacturing process has many aspects that are not handled well by existing machines.

The present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art. p 29 According to the present invention, a cigarette manufacturing plant is proposed, including a machine (3) for producing double-length cigarette stubs; a filter-collecting machine for attaching filters to cigarette stubs for the purpose of forming cigarettes with a filter mouthpiece; a transfer device for transferring the stubs double-length cigarette string from the cigarette machine to the filter-collecting machine; in which the filter-collecting machine and the cigarette machine include a plurality of devices for current control (or) adjustment of the parameters of the cigarette machine, the filter-collecting machine or the manufactured cigarettes; a controller for controlling the plurality of devices on the filter collecting machine and the cigarette machine, and a field bus, and a plurality of devices and a controller are connected to this field bus.

The present invention also provides an apparatus for making cigarettes, including: a machine for making 39 pieces of double-length cigarette rod; a filter-collecting machine for attaching filters to cigarette rod segments for the purpose of forming cigarettes with a filter mouthpiece; a transmission device for transferring double-length cigarette rod segments from the cigarette machine to the filter-collecting machine; in which the filter-collecting machine and the cigarette machine include "a set of devices for the current control (or) adjustment of the parameters of the cigarette machine, from the filter-collecting machine or manufactured cigarettes; the first controller for controlling a plurality of devices c on the filter-collecting machine and the cigarette machine; and a second controller for providing the operator with information about the filter collection machine, cigarette machine and cigarettes and for transmitting input from the user to the first controller.

The invention further offers an installation for the manufacture of cigarettes, which includes: a machine for the manufacture of segments of a double-length cigarette rod; a filter-collecting machine for attaching filters to b segments of a cigarette rod for the purpose of forming cigarettes with a filter mouthpiece; transmission device

Ge | for transferring double-length cigarette rod segments from the cigarette machine to the filter-collecting machine; a set of synchronized servomotors, each of which serves to drive a corresponding operation of a filter-collecting machine or a cigarette machine; in which a filter collecting machine and a cigarette machine

Te) 20 additionally include a set of devices for current control (or) adjustment of the parameters of the cigarette machine, filter-collecting machine or manufactured cigarettes; motion control device for

From the control of multiple synchronized motors; a system controller for controlling a plurality of devices on the filter collection machine and the cigarette machine, the motion control device being connected to the system controller; and a fieldbus, with a plurality of devices and a controller connected to a communication network. 29 In one embodiment of the invention, it is preferred that the synchronized motors are

GF) servomotors.

Preferably, the communication network is a fieldbus network. o The invention also offers an installation for the manufacture of cigarettes, which includes: a machine for the manufacture of segments of a cigarette rod of double length; a filter-collecting machine for attaching filters to 60 segments of a cigarette rod for the purpose of forming cigarettes with a filter mouthpiece; a transmission device for transferring double-length cigarette rod segments from the cigarette machine to the filter-collecting machine; in which both the filter-collecting machine and the cigarette machine include a set of devices for current control (or) regulation of the parameters of the cigarette machine, the filter-collecting machine or manufactured cigarettes; a control network, and a plurality of devices are connected to this control network; for the first controller connected to the control network for controlling a plurality of devices on the filter-collecting machine and the cigarette machine; and a second controller connected to the first controller and including at least one LMI for providing the operator with information about the filter collection machine, the cigarette machine and the cigarettes and for transmitting input from the user to the first controller.

The invention also offers a method of controlling the manufacture of cigarettes at a plant that includes cigarette and filter-collecting machines connected to each other by a device for transferring segments of a cigarette rod, and the method includes the steps of: implementing a field bus and a machine controller connected to this field bus ; connection of multiple devices to the field bus, for current control (or) adjustment of the parameters of the cigarette machine, filter-collecting machine or manufactured cigarettes; current control of the 7/0 fieldbus from the controller to receive data from devices; and adjusting one or more parameters of the filter collecting machine or the cigarette machine according to the informational content of the received data.

Variants of the implementation of the present invention have the advantage that the entire process of making cigarettes is managed as a whole. In known analogues, cigarette machines and filter-collecting machines are controlled individually, which we consider undesirable. Preferably, the devices to be controlled, both in the cigarette /5 machine and in the filter-collecting machine, are all connected to a common field bus, which is controlled by a common controller.

This has the advantage that the number of wires in the machine is minimized, and also provides improved communication between the devices connected to the fieldbus and the controller.

Preferably, both the filter-collecting machine and the cigarette machine have human-machine interfaces (LMiI,

NMI-pitap-tasnipe ipiepase), which can receive data from the field bus and transfer data to it through

Controller. Preferably, these LMIs are controlled by another controller, from devices connected to the fieldbus. Access to control data can be made, for example, through the TSR/LR channel to the local computer network (LOM, GAM-iosa! agea peyimogk) of the enterprise or outside it, providing remote diagnostics.

Data separation ensures that the correctness of the manufacturing process will not be compromised, for example, by unauthorized users of the scrap metal. high school

Variants of the present invention have the advantage that production rates can be significantly increased. Variants of the implementation of the present invention have the advantage that many adjustments of the machine can i) be performed without stopping production, which until now required long downtimes. For example, phase synchronization of a cigarette machine with a filter-collecting machine. When the speed is ramped up to full, the timing can be changed for the duration of the ramp-up to ensure a higher quality cigarette during that time. "-

In addition, the gear ratio between the headset format belt and the suction belt can be changed to allow the production of different grades that have different parameters without stopping the machine. The location of the manufacturer's printed information on Me cigarettes can be changed according to the specified parameters, as well as the position of the sealed end of the tobacco bundle. This facilitates the transition to the production of another variety with other characteristics. By eliminating most mechanical transmissions and replacing them with "Intelligent" devices, such as "Intelligent" servo motors, as well as by applying distributed control, quieter operation can be achieved, which is beneficial to the users of the equipment.

Embodiments of the present invention have the additional advantage that the average time between failures increases, and in the event of a failure, a shorter average time to repair is required. The average time to repair is reduced in part due to the presence of LMI, which has access to diagnostic data from devices on the fieldbus, which enables rapid diagnosis of the malfunction and rapid identification of faulty parts that need to be replaced. In addition, the diagnosis can be made remotely, from a remote location, for example, through a business office

LOM of the enterprise or the local network "Ipigapei". From the following, one embodiment of the invention will be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

First, the main operations of the cigarette machine and the filter collecting machine will be described. co

The cigarette machine produces double-length lengths of cigarette rod and passes them to a filter assembly machine, which further cuts the double-length lengths and inserts a double-length filter between them. Then he attaches the rim paper and cuts the finished pairs of cigarettes, reorients the cigarettes through one, checks and passes them on for further processing.

Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the front end of a cigarette machine. This is just one example of the front end of the machine, other front ends may apply. Chopped tobacco is first fed into the rear part of the tobacco distributor 10. The upper mesh drum 1, which is under the action of vacuum, transfers the tobacco to the vane wheel 2, which closes the shaft of the distributor. Sensor C in the shaft of the distributor;" checks whether there is enough tobacco in the dispenser. The vacuum in the mesh drum 1 is turned off when the sensor C of the dispenser is blocked by tobacco, and is turned on when the sensor becomes open. A protective door 4 is arranged in the upper part of the distributor, through which tobacco, collected after pouring b, etc., can be added. A shaking plate 5 is installed in the shaft of the distributor, which is fed into the shaft at regular intervals to prevent compaction of the tobacco. Under the vane wheel 2, a permanent magnet 6 so is installed to remove any ferromagnetic objects from the tobacco stream. 2) The tobacco dispenser can be of a conventional design, as shown in Fig. 1, or modified, as shown in Fig. 2-4. In the distributor in Fig. 1, the needle metering roller 7, located in the lower part and, shaft of the distributor, transfers tobacco from the distributor, dumping it in the area behind a pair of card drums shk 8, 9, which will be described in the appropriate place.

In the distributor according to Fig. 2-4, the feed roller 12 is located across the inlet opening of the distributor.

The peripheral surface of the roll 12 has needles 14 for interaction with the tobacco that enters the distributor. In one embodiment of the machine, the roll 12 is mounted on the drive shaft 16 and includes four separate roll sections 12a, 120, 12c, 124. In the lower part of the distributor there are two rotating card drums

F) 8 (only one drum is shown). Between the levels of the feed roll 12 and the carding drum 8, in a place that corresponds to the desired maximum level of tobacco in the distributor, there is a generally horizontal row of four photodetectors 20a, 200, 20s, 204. Each of the photodetectors 20a, 206 20s, 204 z' connected to the executive mechanism of the corresponding roll section 12a, 126, 12c, 12a, and each photodetector is located at that point of the distributor wall, which is located vertically lower than the projection of the corresponding roll section on the side wall of the distributor.

During operation, tobacco enters the distributor 10 from above. All sections of the feed roll 12a, 126, 12c, 1224 rotate to distribute the incoming tobacco on the rotating card drum 18, which forms the bottom of the distributor. This situation, shown in Fig. 2, is maintained as long as the level of tobacco in the distributor remains below the level of all photodetectors 20a, 206, 20c, 204. Fig. 3 shows the distributor

10, when the level of tobacco 22 in it has risen to the desired maximum level in the vicinity of two photodetectors - 200, 204. Activation of these photodetectors by tobacco causes them to send a signal that separates from the drive the corresponding roll sections 125, 124, and this leads to the fact that less tobacco is distributed in the area of the distributor 10, which is covered by the action of activated photodetectors 2056 204.

As soon as the level of tobacco falls below the level of the activated photodetectors, the separated roll sections rejoin the drive and begin to rotate, again distributing the tobacco to these areas. If desired, the reconnection of the roll sections to the actuator may be delayed for a predetermined time after deactivation of the corresponding photodetector to allow the tobacco level in the area monitored by the activated 7/0 photodetector to fall below the desired maximum level.

The signal sent by the photodetector when it is activated can cause the corresponding roll section to engage with the drive shaft in any of several ways. For example, a signal can cause an electromagnetic clutch inside the roll section to engage with the drive shaft and thereby cause the roll section to rotate. Alternatively, the signal can cause the solenoid to move a key on one of the shafts or one roll section into a keyway on the other; the relative rotation of the drive shaft and the disconnected roll section will ensure that the key aligns with the keyway and they engage.

Figure 4 shows a design with a pneumatic clutch. The feed roll 12 includes four roll sections 12a, 120, 12c, 124 (needles on the roll are not shown). The drive shaft 16, on which the roller 12 is mounted, has channels 24a, 245, 24c, 24yd, each of which exits through the peripheral wall of the shaft 16 outside the boundaries of the roller 2o 121, each of which ends with a working chamber 2ba, 260, 26bs, 26j, which has exit through the peripheral wall of the shaft 16, adjacent to the corresponding roller section 12a, 120, 12c, 124. In each working chamber 2ba, 266, 26c, 26a, there is a friction block 28a, 2860, 28c, 28a, which is tightly fitted to the side walls of the chamber 26a , 260, 26c, 260, but can move freely in the chamber towards and away from the corresponding roll section 12a, 126, 12c, 12a. In the shown embodiment, two of the channels 24a, 2465 exit through the peripheral wall of the shaft 16 to one side of the roll 12, and two to the other side.

A source of compressed air (not shown) is connected to each channel 24a, 2465, 24s, 244 by air-conducting tubes Zba, Z0OB, ZOs, 304. Air-conducting tubes Zba, ZO, ZOs, zoba are connected to channels 24a, 245 24c , 244 so that the shaft 16 can rotate with stationary air ducts. The connection can be such that each air pipe Zba, ZOB, ZOs, Z0a is in constant communication with the corresponding channel 24a, 2465, 24c, "- 244 during a full revolution of the shaft 16. This can be achieved by using a clip 32 , which covers the shaft 16 around it and through which air ducts Zba, 306, ZOs, z0a pass. The ends of the air ducts, Me, closer to the shaft, end each in the corresponding circumferential air chamber Z4a, 3405, 34c, 34d, each of which is in constant communication with the corresponding channel 24a, 240, 24c, 24d, when the shaft rotates. Alternatively, when the shaft rotates, the connection may be broken, because for a significant part of the rotation of the shaft, the open ends of the channels will be blocked by a means not shown, for example, sealing clips, which "o cover the shaft 16 around it and through which the air ducts Zba pass, ZOB, ZOs, zoo.

During operation, when one of the sensors 20a does not receive a signal that indicates an acceptable level of tobacco in the part of the distributor controlled by this sensor, the valve (not shown) in the corresponding air duct Zba is open and passes air under pressure into the bypass air chamber Z4a in the bracket 32, and thanks to this - into the corresponding channel 24a in the rotary shaft 16 and into the working chamber 26ba at the other end of the channel 2448. tv) c The increased air pressure in the working chamber 2ba presses the friction pad 28a in the working chamber 26ba against the wall. of the corresponding roll section 12a, forcing it to rotate together with the shaft 16. and? If the sensor 20a transmits a signal that indicates an increase in the level of tobacco in the part of the distributor controlled by this sensor, the valve in the air tube Za closes. The air pressure in the working chamber 2ba returns to the atmospheric level as the air flows out of the channel 24a, so the friction pad 28a

Ge" is no longer pressed against the wall of the roll section 12a and disconnects this roll section from the shaft 16, due to which the roll section stops rotating. It is easy to understand that the other roll sections 125, 12c, 124 are disconnected and connected in the same way in response to a signal or the absence of a signal from the corresponding sensors 206, 2) 20c, 204 in the distributor.

The signal from the photodetector can be passed through the processing device, which then sends the signal to the IC of the corresponding roll section. It is easy to understand also that the photodetector can be activated for reference

Ck the signal when it does not detect tobacco, and stop sending the signal or send another signal when it detects tobacco.

Let's return to Fig. 1. The dosing roller 7 dispenses tobacco from the distributor 10, creating a permanent column of tobacco. The dosing roll 7 is controlled by three photoelectric sensors (FED, RES-rny eiesigis sei) 36, 37, Z8, which are connected so that the speed of rotation of the dosing roll increases if any of these three sensors

F) does not "see" tobacco, which provides a permanent pillar. ka From the dosing roll 7, the tobacco passes further between the card drum rolls. The upper of these rolls 8 is a small carding drum, and the lower one is a larger carding drum 9. The lower, large, carding drum 60 9 picks up the tobacco and carries it around the circumference until it reaches the small carding drum 8. These drums rotate relatively slowly and synchronized with the main drive. The gap between the two card drums allows a constant amount of tobacco to pass through. Excess tobacco is rolled into a roll thanks to the rotation of two carding drums in opposite directions. Next, the tobacco passes to the steam from the pick-up and drop-off rolls 41, 42, which rotate at a relatively high speed and throw the tobacco into the air stream to transport it 65 TO the suction belt. The take-off roller works by removing the tobacco from the large card drum 9 and passing it under the throw-off roller 41, which accelerates the movement of the tobacco towards the perforated rotary collector tube 43. The suction air passing through the collector tube 43 picks up the tobacco and carries it around the tube in the air flow rising up in the vertical shaft 44. The air from a small fan, which is blown into the spiral chamber 45 arranged under the collector pipe, carries the fibers

Tobacco up through the vertical shaft. Heavier tobacco particles, leaf midveins and dirt particles, fall through the air stream into the vein collector 46. Air is also drawn into the vertical shaft by a large fan that draws the fibers up to the perforated belt. The air velocity can be changed by reducing the airflow rate at the entrance to the vertical shaft. The speed of the air flow is changed to match the product being used. 70 The distribution section has a synchronized drive that controls the rotation of the large carding drum and a variable speed drive that controls the metering roll or feed conveyor belts, which may have a variable setting depending on the make of the machine.

The tobacco passing up the vertical shaft is trapped on the underside of the suction belt, and it carries it forward to the headset.

The depth of the layer of tobacco held on the tape is cut by the discs of the shearing device to the appropriate size.

Let's turn now to Fig. 5-9. The endless suction tape 47 passes along Through the camera 40 in the direction shown in Fig.5 by a large arrow. The suction belt 47 is preferably driven by a servomotor synchronized with other motor drives, and is permeable to air, but practically impermeable to tobacco. Alternatively, it can be connected to the drive mechanically. The chamber has a top wall 49, a bottom wall 49, side walls 50, 50, and end walls 48, 48". The bottom wall 49' extends from the end wall 48 of the chamber 40 located at the outlet of the tape towards the end wall 48 located at the entrance of the tape, but terminates earlier. A downwardly directed wall 51 extends from the end of the lower wall 49", closer to the entrance of the belt, and defines, together with the downwardly directed extension 52 of the end wall 48 of the chamber located on the side of the entrance, a vertical shaft 54 through which the tobacco enters the chamber. The side walls 50, 50 are practically parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chamber 40. The end walls 48, 48 are practically i) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the chamber 40. The suction tape 47 enters the chamber 40 through the inlet window 56 in the end wall 48 and leaves the chamber 40 through the outlet window 56 in the end wall 48. A fan (not shown) is installed to draw air through the vertical shaft 54 and the suction chamber 40; "-

Zr tobacco is fed to a vertical mine and it is carried along by the air.

The rotary stepper motor 58, which includes a gearbox, is located on the outside of the Me suction chamber 40 and is attached to the side wall 50 of the chamber 40. The spindle 60 of the motor 58 passes through the hole c 62 in the wall 50 of the chamber 40. The motor 58 is attached to the wall 50 chamber 40 so that the spindle 60 can rotate freely, but the lubricant does not flow from the motor 58 into the suction chamber 40 through the hole 62. The free end 64 so

Z SPINDLE 60 is located in the chamber 40 above the suction tape 47 and above the bottom wall 49. The free end 64 of the spindle is attached to the mounting end 66 of the finger 68, which extends radially outward from the spindle.

The free end 70 of the finger 68 is in contact with the upper surface of the suction belt 47. The shearing device 72 is located below the suction belt 47 and after the end 70 of the finger 68. The device for determining the tightness, located further down the belt after the suction chamber 40, determines the tightness of the newly produced « 40 of the cigarette rod (not shown) by the usual method - by weakening the beam - and sends a control signal in s to the mass control computer, and therefore to the motor 58.

Fig. 7 shows in detail the first embodiment of the finger 68 and the motor 58. Fig. 8 represents; an "exploded" image of the components of the finger 68 and the motor 58 of the embodiment shown in Fig.7.

The free end of the finger 68 is a segment of a circle, so the surface of the finger 68, which is in contact with the tape 47, 45. 8 is curved. This finger shape has been found to extend the life of the tape 47, which operates under

Ge" rarefaction. Preferably, the surface of the finger 68 that contacts the tape 47 is hardened or has a hard insert. Preferably, the surface of the finger 68 that contacts the tape 47 is nitrided or has a tungsten carbide or ceramic coating. 2) The finger 68 is mounted on the spindle 64 with the help of a bolt 74 passing through the split ring 76 on the 5th Mounting end 66 of the finger. The spacer ring 78 is installed between the split ring 76 and the cover 80, by means of which the motor 58 is attached to the wall 50 of the suction chamber 40. The sealing ring 82 of circular cross-section between the cover 80 and the wall 50 of the chamber does not allow air or tobacco to pass between the cover and the wall of the chamber . The sealing sleeve 84 between the spindle 60 of the motor and the cover 80 prevents the leakage of lubricant from the motor 58 into the chamber 40 and prevents the penetration of tobacco into the motor 58. Screws 86 attach the motor 58 to the cover in 80. The screws 88 attach the cover 80 to the wall 50 of the chamber 40. position not shown) is located above finger 68 and an over-rotation sensor (not shown) is located below finger 68. (F, The motor may be of any type, but a stepper motor or other proportional actuator such as a solenoid actuator or And the MO device (Ipeag meiosiku ageme -- a linear drive).

Fig. 9 is a detailed view of a second embodiment, which is similar to that shown in Fig. 7 and 8, but in which the finger 68 is connected to the motor 58 and the gearbox through an extension shaft 90. The end 92 of the extension shaft 90 is made hollow and accommodates in itself the spindle 60 of the motor 58. The extension shaft is connected to the spindle 60 of the motor and departs from it in the direction of the wall 50' of the chamber 40. The other end 94 of the extension shaft 90 passes through the split ring 76 of the mounting end 66 of the finger 68. The cap 96 is put on the end 94 of the extension shaft 90 and abuts against the mounting end 66 of the finger 68. The cap 96 is 65 attached to the extension shaft 90 by a screw 98, which passes through the cap 96 and (screwed) into the end 94 of the extension shaft 90. The cap 96 ensures the reliability of holding the finger on the extension shaft

90. In this embodiment, the cover 80 of the motor 58 enters the chamber 40 through the opening 62 in the wall 50 towards the other wall 507, forming a hollow cylindrical stocking 100. The extension shaft 90 passes through this hollow cylindrical stocking 100 and protrudes beyond it. The distal (relative to the motor 58) end 102 of the empty cylindrical stocking 100 is adjacent to the spacer ring 104 mounted on the extension shaft. The spacer ring 104 tightly closes the gap between the distal end 102 of the hollow cylindrical stocking 100 and the mounting end 66 of the finger 68.

As in the first embodiment, the sealing ring 82 of circular section does not allow air or tobacco to pass between the cover 80 and the wall 50 of the chamber. Sealing sleeve 106 between extension shaft 7/0. | an empty cylindrical stocking prevents the leakage of lubricant from the motor 58 into the chamber 40 and prevents the penetration of tobacco into the motor 58. It is not difficult to understand that the motor spindle and the extension shaft are protected from the abrasive action of tobacco by the empty cylindrical stocking 100, the spacer ring 104, the mounting end 66 of the finger 68 and the cap 96, which jointly close the spindle 60 of the motor and the extension shaft 90.

During operation, the suction tape 47 is driven by a synchronized servomotor and moves in one direction, that is, relative to the suction chamber 40 in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chamber and shown by the large arrow in Fig.5. When the suction belt 47 is set in motion, air is drawn into the suction chamber 40 by a means not shown through a vertical shaft 54. Tobacco (not shown), which is carried by the air, is drawn in, falling from below on the suction belt 47, which is above the lower wall 49 ". The excess tobacco that got on the suction belt 47 is removed by the shearing device 72, which is driven by a synchronized 2o servo motor. The tobacco that remained on the suction belt 47 after being cut by the shearing device is formed into a continuous tobacco bundle. The device for determining the stiffness measures the stiffness of the tobacco in newly manufactured cigarette rod by the conventional method of beam attenuation. If the stiffness of the newly manufactured cigarette rod is too high, the stiffness detection means sends a signal to the motor 58 and causes the motor 58 to rotate the spindle 60 clockwise (when looking at the spindle along its axis in the direction of the motor 58).The rotation of the spindle 60 forces the rotation of fly 68, and the free end 70 of the finger 68 -- move clockwise (if you look at it the same way). The clockwise movement of the free end 70 of the finger 68 i) forces it to move downwards towards the shearing device 72. As the end 70 of the finger 68 moves towards the shearing device 72, the suction tape 47 also approaches the shearing device 72. The displacement of the suction tape 47 towards the shearing device 72 increases the amount of tobacco that is cut by the cutting device 72. As a result, -/- less tobacco is left on the suction tape 47 than before, and less tobacco is fed by the suction tape 47 to make a cigarette rod, which is therefore less tight. b"

If the stiffness of the cigarette string is too low, the means for determining the stiffness sends a signal to the motor 58. The counterclockwise movement of the free end 70 of the finger 68 causes it to move UPWARD, away from the shearing device 72. As the end 70 of the finger 68 moves away from the shearing device 72, the suction tape 47 remains in contact with the finger 68 and moves away from the shearing device 72. The displacement of the belt 47 away from the shearing device 72 reduces the amount of tobacco that is cut by the shearing device 72. As a result, more tobacco remains on the suction belt 47 than before, and more tobacco is fed by the suction belt 47 into the cigarette rod, which becomes tighter because of this. A continuous cigarette rod is cut into segments of double length. z c Each time the unit is turned on, the finger 68 is set to the initial position controlled by . home position sensor. The starting position is chosen so that the amount of excess tobacco removed from the suction belt by the shearing device is approximately correct. If the finger rotates too far toward the clipper, the over-rotation sensor sends a signal to the motor 58, which then returns the finger 68 to its home position. This prevents the finger from working in the wrong position for long periods of time.

Let's turn now to Fig. 10. The linear speed of the suction belt 47 is determined by the length of the cigarette to be produced and the speed at which the cigarettes are produced. The compacted end (at the place of the future cut of the cigarette) is formed before cutting, this is done with the help of a single rotary cam, which compacts 5p of tobacco in the stream. se) The cam 110 rotates one revolution per stroke of the suction tape, which is equal to two linear lengths of the cigarette. The discs 112 of the shearing device are made so that their peripheral speed is slightly greater than the linear speed of the harness, and the height of the tobacco flow relative to the discs 112 of the shearing device is controlled by the mass control unit (not shown). The cut tobacco is returned to the distributor for

With the help, for example, of a transport mechanism made of a spiral screw and a vibrating conveyor.

The trimmed tobacco with the formed sealed ends is further conveyed to a set 114, where (F, the cigarette rod is produced. This set includes a belt driven by a synchronized servo motor which pulls the cigarette paper 116 from the reel. A stream of tobacco is placed on this paper, and the rod is formed by a headset mold that wraps the paper around the tobacco tow. Glue from the reservoir is applied to the edge of the paper through an adhesive nozzle 118, and this glue dries as the rod passes under a temperature-controlled heater 120. At this point, the machine produces a continuous cigarette rod of in compacted parts one or two cigarette lengths along it.

Cigarette paper for wrapping a cigarette, which is fed into the headset, is pulled from the bobbin by a pair of pinch rollers. The average linear speed of the paper must be equal to the linear speed of the format tape of the headset. 65 However, when the reel runs out, it is necessary to stop the paper to automatically glue the paper from the next reel. To accomplish this, the bobbin speed is increased prior to gluing to fill the paper reservoir and enable continuous operation of the cigarette machine during the gluing operation. After gluing, the reel speed is gradually increased to a linear speed slightly lower than the speed of the headset format tape to empty the paper tank. When the tank is emptied, the paper speed will increase until it again matches the speed of the headset's format ribbon. The bobbin drive can be an independent servo drive that receives machine production signals from the machine's main drive shaft and uses an additional signal from the rocker arm to make speed corrections according to the measured paper tension.

The cigarette paper then passes through a printing device on its way from the bobbin to the headset, and/or at this stage, the cigarette is printed with manufacturer information, such as a brand, using a printing wheel.

The printing wheel can have four clichés and is therefore controlled to turn one revolution for every four lengths of the cigarette. The printing device can have its own synchronized servo motor. This allows you to shift the print position forward or backward and improve the quality not by changing the length of the paper run, as is usually done, but by changing the phase between the servomotors of the printing device and the format tape /5 Headset through the software parameters.

The finished continuous cigarette bar then passes to the knife cutting unit 124, which includes a knife blade mounted on the periphery of the rotating drum. This drum is driven by a servo motor whose speed is synchronized with the linear speed of the rod so that the drum rotates one revolution for every two lengths of cigarette rod to cut the continuous rod into lengths equal to twice the length of the cigarette. It is important that the incision is made in the middle of the compacted area. Therefore, there is a precise interrelationship between the headset format tape drive, the end seal cam, and the knife, both in relative speed and position.

The rod must pass relative to the cutter at a constant speed, otherwise the length of the cigarettes will vary.

However, since the length of the cigarette can vary for different brands, changing the length of the cigarette is achieved by changing the program parameters that determine the ratio of speeds and positions of the corresponding servo drives.

The cutter includes a mechanical sharpening and deburring system to maintain the sharpness of the knife blade after each revolution. The knife feed mechanism maintains the desired knife position to compensate for the loss of knife material during sharpening and deburring operations. "- zo The continuous rod is supported during the cutting operation by a conventional counter blade 126.

Before being cut, the cigarette stub is passed through a Nucleon or other stiffness measuring device 122. The stiffness of the stub is measured electronically, and any deviation from predetermined limits will cause the suction tape above the shearing device discs to be raised or lowered accordingly. The rod lengths then pass a sensor that signals the removal of the first few hundred lengths from the lot for quality control. Next, the segments pass to the discharge wheel, which "o accelerates the segments to the transmission device for transferring them to the filter-harvesting machine. The trigger rotates by one revolution for two segment lengths (that is, two segments of double length), and its diameter is such that the circumferential speed at the periphery is higher than the linear speed of the rod - this is necessary to achieve acceleration. The unloader, shown in Fig. 11-20, removes the segments of the rod from the guide prism and transfers them to the receiving drum of the transmission device. The trigger shown in Fig. 11 and Fig. 12 is a spiral (52 s) trigger, and the trigger shown in Fig. 13-20 is a linear trigger. Either of them can be used.

The receiving drum has a shield and receives the lengths of rod from the discharger at high speed. Segments;" fall into the grooves on the drum, are slowed down and held by a sequence of vacuum holes made along the grooves. The grooves are made with extensions at the beginning to facilitate the entry of the lengths of the rod from the dumper into the grooves.

Ge» The discharge unit includes the main body 200, which is mounted on the cigarette machine. In the end part of the housing there is a drive 210, which is driven from the drive of the cigarette machine through a shaft at the far end of the housing (not shown), (the pulley and belt (not shown). This drive transmits the movement through the drive 2) belt 212 to the second , reset, shaft 214. The drive shaft and the reset shaft have toothed pulleys 216 for toothed belt transmission, on which the drive belt is worn. The belt 212 is enclosed in a belt casing 218, to which is attached a suction casing 220. The belt casing is designed to be rotatable around the drive as 210 to set the discharge wheel at the correct height above the M-shaped guide prism of the cigarette machine. Attached to the belt casing is a bar 217 to which is attached a guide plate 219. The guide plate is held over the M-shaped guide prism behind the drop wheel and prevents the rear bv end of the rod segment from jumping up when the drop wheel engages the front end. It also keeps the segments on the same line. The suction casing shown in Fig. 18-20 includes a solid disc having

F) the central hole 222 and the hub 224, which is attached to the belt casing. The suction channel 226 ka is made in the peripheral part of the disk in a place located between the central axis of the disk and the front end.

The suction channel runs through the disk to the suction reservoir 228 or the rear wall of the disk. for Reservoir 228 is arranged to provide a constant vacuum, as will be described later. Reservoir 228 is connected to a suction pump (not shown).

A second channel 229 is made in a place near and slightly behind the suction hole (in the direction of the rod movement). This channel 229 is a channel for releasing a segment of the rod and is connected to an air supply source (not shown) on the rear wall of the disk, and the channel 229 for the release of the rod segment passes 65 Through the disc approximately parallel to the suction channel. The air source drives air through the rod release channel to overcome the vacuum applied to the rod through the suction channel and thus release the segments from the ejector.

Above the suction disc, which is stationary, is a discharge wheel 230. The discharge wheel has a front face 232 (Fig. 15-17), a peripheral rim 234 and a hub 236. The hub passes through the central hole 222 of the suction disc and is fixed to the discharge shaft 214 for compatible rotation with it.

The peripheral rim is not continuous, it is divided into two sections of equal length by a pair of cuts 238. Each rim section has a groove 240 running along the section (ie along an arc) and has a series of evenly spaced holes 242 formed in the bottom of the groove. The grooves are offset from the center of the rim so that they lie above the suction channel and the suction disk rod release channel, and so that when the wheel is mounted on the casing, /o the grooves lie above the center line of the 250 (fig. 13) rod segments, which are at M - similar to the prism of a cigarette machine.

During operation, the reset wheel 230 rotates over the segments of the rod, which are located on the M-shaped prism.

The vacuum applied through the holes in the grooves picks up the individual lengths from the prism, and the rotation of the discharge wheel accelerates the movement of the rod lengths towards the receiving drum. The reservoir in the 7/5 Suction Disc ensures that a constant vacuum is maintained. Since the vacuum is supplied through the holes in the grooves, the vacuum is distinctly turned on and off as the holes pass over the suction window (suction channel). The reservoir prevents the loss of vacuum that could cause the ejector section to come loose. This is especially important for double-length rod segments, the increased mass of which requires stronger suction.

A section of rod will be freed from the dumper when a cut on the periphery of the dumper wheel passes over the intake port, breaking the vacuum. However, there is a tendency to retain some residual rarefaction, which may raise the end of the segment. As can be seen from Fig. 11 and Fig. 12, the gap between the grooves of the receiving drum and its shield is small, and the raised end may be damaged by the shield or, in the worst case, cannot enter the receiving drum, which will lead to a stoppage of the entire production line. with

The air blown through the release channel ensures that any residual vacuum is broken and that the end of the length is exactly parallel to the grooves of the take-up drum when the length i) is released. This ensures that the cut will be successfully transferred from the M-shaped prism to the take-up drum.

As can be seen from Fig.21-25, the segments of the rod from the discharger pass to the receiving drum 334. The segments are introduced into the receiving drum from the direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum. In an alternative option, a spiral dropper can be used, which will transmit segments in the same direction.

The receiving drum is a grooved drum, which has around its periphery 18 narrowing Me grooves 336, and each of them receives an individual segment from the discharger 232. The custom of the receiving (U drum) is shown in Fig. 24.

A typical take-up drum has 36 grooves. Each of the 18 grooves of the drum 334 has an inlet opening which is so

Зз5 Wider than normal groove, which facilitates transmission from the dumper at high speed. It is not difficult to understand that (au to work with a productivity of 800Osig./min (cigarettes per minute) the receiving drum must rotate at a frequency of 222.2rpm, giving out 4000 pieces of double-length rod every minute.

Each of the specified grooves has a narrowing receiving end 338, which helps to direct the segment to the desired place. Of course, the angle of the taper can be chosen so as to ensure the best transfer of the segment « under the restrictions imposed by the presence of 18 wide throats pos. 340 in grooves on the periphery of the drum. Because of this, the shape of the grooves consists of two parts: part 341 braking and holding the segment, which is made. narrow and long enough to hold a length of double-length rod, and the narrower part 343, which is y?' shorter than the holding part of the segment, and tapers from the throat 340, where it is several times wider than the narrow part, to the holding part of the segment.

The lengths of rod are fed from the discharger to the drum at high speed. Each groove includes a row

Ge" of vacuum holes 347 (fig. 24), through which air is sucked in to brake the segments and keep them in place in the drum. Preferably, the vacuum holes run along the entire length of the holding part of the segment and exit into the narrowing part of the groove along the longitudinal axis 349 of the groove. This gives the operator maximum control 2) over the cut and allows the cut to be controlled once it enters the chute. The conventional receiving drum shown in Fig. 24 is shown with the segment stops removed. The segment stops are fixed in place with screws screwed into the cut holes Z51, and their position can be changed. A row of vacuum holes extends to the stopper itself, and the last hole 353 is enlarged. At the far end of the row of holes 347, each row ends with an elongated slot 355. The holes in the grooves, except for the last holes 353, are cut so that they can be closed for the purpose of adjusting the grooves. This may be necessary, for example, to

Reduce dilution for a less tight cigarette rod.

All grooves have the same length and width. In order to accept a double-length cut, it may (F) be necessary to make the grooves longer than on a standard take-up drum. The part of the drum that conveys the cuts is protected by a suction shield assembly 345, which helps to hold the incoming cuts in the grooves, creating an air flow channel between the chute and shield 342. as the shield 342 is preferably transparent Shield assemblies are well known in the art and this assembly differs from known counterparts in that it is made longer to cover the longer grooves and that it is equipped with groups holes 361. These holes 361 can be seen in Fig. 11 and Fig. 12.

Stops at the end of the holding parts of the segment are located so that the segments are aligned and their middles are aligned with the center line of the transmission device. 65 In the front end of the drum, an internal rib 359 is made, which goes around the inner surface and has holes for attachment to the front plate.

The usual transmission drum is mounted on the suction cup shown in Fig.25.

The suction cup has an air outlet 390 connected to the suction pump (not shown) and four windows 392 that communicate with vacuum holes in the grooves of the outer sleeve, which makes it possible to draw in air with the pump through the vacuum holes and release it through the air nozzle 390, which the necessary rarefaction is created to brake and hold the cigarette rod segments in the grooves. Suction windows 392 are located around the suction cup to ensure that sufficient air is drawn through the vacuum holes in the grooves along the entire length of the grooves. For this reason, the windows 392 are located on the suction cup in ledges. 70 The rod segments from the receiving drum are transferred to the intermediate drum 344. This drum holds the segments in 14 grooves also by means of rarefaction. The drum rotates at a frequency of 285.7 rpm to ensure a working productivity of 4000 pieces per minute.

The grooves on the intermediate drum are long enough to accommodate double-length lengths. But, unlike the receiving drum, on the intermediate drum, not the entire length of the segment is kept in the grooves. /5 Only the middle part is supported, and the ends hang over the cuts at both ends of the groove. Thus, the grooves on the intermediate drum are much shorter than the part holding the segment on the receiving drum.

The rod lengths are transferred from the receiving drum to the intermediate drum and then to other drums using the "interception" method. This method is well known in the art and involves holding the length in the groove of the first drum with a vacuum, turning off that vacuum at the transfer point, which allows the 2o Length to be transferred by vacuum to the groove of the next drum, where the vacuum in that groove holds the length in place.

From the intermediate drum 344, the rod segments are transferred to the cutting drum 346, where the double-length segments are cut in the middle into two single-length segments. These sections are then pushed apart on the advancing drum 348 and transferred to the filter collection drum 350. On this filter collection drum, a double-length filter rod from the filter rod machine is inserted between the separated cigarette rod segments. On the filter-harvesting machine, this filter is attached to two i) lengths of rod and then cut to obtain two finished cigarettes.

The cutting and sliding drum are standard drums, like those used, for example, on the transmission device of the company "Nashpi" Mach-80. The filter collection drum can also be standard, such as the one used, for example, on the Nashpi Mach-5 transmitter. No further description of these nodes is necessary. Me

It can be understood from the figures that the receiving drum rotates clockwise. The intermediate drum (se takes the pieces of cigarette rod from the receiving drum and must maintain the correct direction of the flow of the pieces.

All five drums are mounted in a transmission housing 352, which in operation is attached at one end to the filter harvester, for example, at mounting point 353. A support bracket assembly 354 is also used to carry the weight of the drums. The bracket itself is additionally attached to the filter-harvesting machine.

Fig. 23 shows only the main components of the transmission device, and most of the standard parts are omitted. The drums are driven from a single drive motor through a drive disc 356 with an offset hub connected to the drive shaft 358 of the receiving drum. The casing 360 is arranged around the drive shaft and the suction cup 362. The suction cup is supported in the receiving drum; a group of bearings and rings 362, as well as a supporting and sealing retaining ring 364, to which the grooved part of the receiving drum is attached. An end plate 365 is attached to the end of the drum.

It can be seen from Fig. 23 that the disk 356 is made in the form of a hat-cylinder with fields and that the inner corresponding mating surface around the opening 365 in the housing of the transmission device through which the drive shaft passes and the crankcase has a recess with a bearing surface 366. The described disk and recess with a support surface so allow the use of conventional parts with minimal modification. The case 352 is closed with a removable cover oo 368.

A transitional shaped flange 370 having windows 372, 374, 376 is mounted in front of the housing 352 so that the upper window 372 and the central window 374 are aligned with the corresponding windows 398, 380 in the housing for the intermediate and cutting drums, respectively. The specified transitional shaped flange is placed between this body and the intermediate and cutting drums. All drums include suction cups to enable the rod lengths to be held in their grooves. The suction cup 382 for the intermediate drum is inserted into the installation window 378 in the housing 352 of the transmission device, and the intermediate drum is located on the suction cup. A retaining ring 386 is provided to enable

Ф) use with an intermediate drum of attachment from the usual receiving drum of the Machv0 machine. ka The snap ring is necessary because the Mach80 take-up drum is designed for use with the Nashpi 5rideg variable height slider, so the drum mounting plate, which is used here as a 370 adapter shaped flange, is designed to pivot around the cutting drum. This plate is now fixed, ensuring a permanent location of the centers.

The suction cup 383 for the intermediate drum is located in the installation window 384 in the housing.

The take-up drum drive and suction system for all drums are common and are not described here. 65 The location of the grooves on the various drums is such that the segments of the rod pass along the center line of the transmission point. The use of chamfered or tapered entrance portions of the grooves of twice the normal width and the corresponding reduction in the number of grooves, together with the increased length of the take-up drum and the use of vacuum holes along the entire length of the grooves, results in the transmission device being able to reliably transmit segments of double length when using a dumper instead of slider

The filter collecting machine is shown schematically in Fig. 2b. This diagram also shows the elements of the transmission device, which have the same item numbers and will not be described again. The filter collecting machine 400 includes a hopper 402, which contains a supply of filters for feeding to the filter collecting drum. The filter hopper can be filled manually from cassettes or automatically from automatic cassettes or inclined descent. The filter rods in the hopper can be in a "four" or "six" configuration, ie 7/0 four filter tips per stick or six filter tips per stick, which means they will be cut into two or three double length filter sticks , which must be inserted between the spread sections of a single-length cigarette rod on the spreader drum. Thus, each filter stick in the "six" configuration will provide filter mouthpieces for six cigarettes. The filter sticks from the hopper fall into the grooves of the filter cutting drum 404, where they are cut by knives into two or u/5 three filter sticks of double length, which are inserted between the segments of the cigarette rod on the filter collection drum.

The lengths of the cigarette rod are connected to the filter mouthpieces by the rim paper fed from the reel 408, which is loaded onto the filter assembly machine by hand. The lining paper is pulled from the reel by the tension roller 410. The paper on the reel has a free end, which is inserted into the gluing unit. Gluing of the full bobbin to the end of the spent bobbin is done automatically. Thanks to this, the machine does not need to be stopped to refill the bobbins. Bobbin loading is manual.

The filter harvester also includes a glue unit 412 that feeds glue from the tank to the rim paper, which is then cut into single length strips by a set of 11 or 8 knives.

The individual adhesive tapes are then fed to a two-pack of cigarettes with a double-length piece of Mouthpiece filter cloth on the magazine drum. Next, a heated wrapping block is used to wrap the rim paper around the set of cigarette filter mouthpieces and i) cause the glue to dry, i.e. produce a double length cigarette. The double cigarette is then cut down the center line of the filter mouthpiece to produce two single-length cigarettes turned in opposite directions. The cutting drum includes a defect window through which vapors can be eliminated from the segments of the rod between which the filter was not inserted. Also missing are cigarettes with a filter, which include cigarette paper glue or rim paper glue. The finished cigarettes from one side of the Me machine are transferred to a turning drum, which turns the cigarettes in the opposite direction, so that all the cigarettes are now facing the same direction. This facilitates further processing.

After the filter collection machine, the finished cigarettes are transferred to the control unit, which includes a control drum, where the cigarettes are subjected to a leak test to check for holes or defects in the paper. These tests are performed by blowing compressed air through the cigarette and measuring the pressure drop on the cigarette. The density of the cigarette and the presence of a filter mouthpiece are checked, for example, with optical or capacitive sensors. Any cigarette that fails one of these tests is rejected and discarded from the control drum. As an optional additional check, a dilution test with the purpose is to check the effectiveness of the attached filter C) c mouthpiece - whether it does not allow air to be drawn in through lateral leaks. After the control drum

And the cigarettes that were not rejected are passed further along the process to the stacker of trays or other technological equipment, which is not a part of the present invention.

Conventional cigarette machines and filter collecting machines are driven from a single drive, from which various secondary drives are driven through suitable reduction gears. This construction is very cumbersome and

He is inflexible. The combined cigarette and filter collection machine implementing this invention dispenses with such a design and uses many separate actuators that are interconnected and controlled by a specialized motion controller. The cigarette machine and the filter collecting machine are controlled by the same controller 2) PLC (RI S-Rgodgattabrie I odis SopigoiIeg -- programmable logic controller).

Fig. 27, Fig. 28 and Fig. 29, respectively, show the location of the main motors on the cigarette machine and se) the filter-collecting machine, respectively. Table 1 and Table 2 below list, respectively, the function of each motor on the cigarette machine and the filter collection machine. 8 o'clock in vv

It should be understood that although the system is described in terms of servomotors, non-servomotors may also be used, as some degree of control can be achieved using conventional variable speed motors with a speed control signal. Alternatively, motors with built-in "intelligence" can be used to ensure synchronization. -

If you turn now to Fig. 29, you can understand the location of the motors mentioned in Table 2. The main drive motor b can be a synchronized servo motor. The other motors on the filter harvester are standard constant speed motors. Fig. 27 and Fig. 28 illustrate the cigarette machine in the same plan, although for the sake of clarity some motors are omitted. co

A preferred embodiment of the control system includes the following main elements:

From 1. Machine controller; so 2. Controller of movement and servomotors;

C. A field bus that connects sensors, pneumatic valves, and some motor drives to the machine controller; 4. Human-machine interface (HMI); and « 5. Control and rejection systems.

The machine controller includes two personal computers (PCs) that work in the operating system c) with MUipdomuv MTtm and are configured so that one is a server, and the other is a client. Other c» operating systems, such as MMIM CE, may be used. The personal computers communicate with each other via TSR/R and the local area network E(Shegpei) The controller software controls the cigarette machine "and the filter collection machine using standard PLC functions, but without the PLC. The specified PCs communicate with the devices of connected machine through the field bus.

Fo The motion controller and servomotors provide synchronized control of servomotors on multiple axes

Go) with the help of a controller that performs preventive movement regulation. Each axis can be programmed for motor characteristics and speed, position and phase relationships. Synchronization between motors consists of high-speed communication between the controllers of each axis, which is independent of the field bus.

Ge) 20 The fieldbus connects devices and I/O (input-output) terminals to the machine controller through a single cable. Each sensor is connected either directly to the fieldbus cable or to a connector block on the cable. Pneumatic valves can be connected to the fieldbus through their own interfaces in the local blocks of each valve, and other motor drives and motion controllers are connected directly to the cable.

The human-machine interface (HMI) provides ease of use of the system, graphical interfaces for operation, maintenance and configuration of the machine. In a preferred embodiment of the invention,

GF) it uses a touch screen to enter operator commands. LMI displays buttons, sliders, keyboards, etc. on the screen. for inputting data and commands to the machine, as well as on-screen messages, scales, digital displays, graphs, reports, etc., to provide information to the operator. It also includes a database for multilingual messages and for reports on past periods. because the control and rejection systems are controlled by an independent specialized programmable controller that interacts with the machine controller and LMI to set parameters and display work data.

Next, aspects of the control system related to motion control, fieldbus, and LMI will be described in more detail.

Traffic control. It is easy to understand that the synchronized servo motors are all synchronized with the M21 cutting motor, which is the master for motion control. Alternatively, synchronization can be performed with a virtual axis. The ratio between the speed of the format tape of the headset and the speed of the cutting motor determines the length of the segment of the cigarette rod. The motors of the shearing device and the printing device are synchronized with the cutting motor in speed and position, and the main drive motor of the filter harvesting machine is synchronized with the cutting motor in position. The tape drum motor, the suction chamber motor and the distributor motor are synchronized with the speed cutting motor.

In conventional cigarette machines, these movements were carried out fixedly by means of a complex system of reducers and variators, shafts, drive belts, etc., to perform the various main functions that control 7/0 Manufacturing the product. When using the motion control system, the single prime mover and associated transmission can be disabled. Instead, several drive axles are used as an optimal compromise between fully mechanical and fully electric systems. From Table 1 and Table 2 it can be seen that the preferred embodiment has 7 axes, 6 in the cigarette machine and one in the filter collecting machine. Of course, other quantities are possible, and other motors may be introduced on individual 7/5 axes. The use of motion control has the obvious advantage of eliminating some expensive transmissions, as well as reducing maintenance effort, shortening lead-time and reducing noise. This is especially important from the point of view of increasing the rate of production. In addition, motion control allows the use of phase relationships between different axes as an alternative to mechanical setting, giving much more accurate results in much less time. It allows almost unlimited adjustment of the relationship between the axes.

For example, the mechanical correlation of the catch drum of a filter-harvesting machine with a cigarette machine is very simplified. Let's add that the ratios between different axes can be changed dynamically. Thus, in the given example, the phase relationship of the catch drum can be changed according to the speed of the machine to ensure optimal transmission. Another advantage is the ability to change the length of the rod segments without replacing parts. Usually, a change in the length of a cigarette will mean a switch to the production of a different brand. This requires printing a different label on each cigarette. The content of the printed label can be changed electronically using inkjet printing methods, and the relative position of i) on the cigarette, as well as the length of the cigarette itself, can be adjusted by changing the ratios between the axes in the motion control.

The motion control system includes the seven motors mentioned earlier, each of which has a motor "-

Zo Controller mounted on a base plate together with a specialized processor. Alternatively, the control may be built into the motor. The processor is programmed to synchronize and phase control the b motors via their individual controllers, with phase and speed information being transmitted to the c motion processor via a dedicated high-speed transmission line. As will be explained, the motion controller may also be connected to the fieldbus so that it can receive control signals such as stop, start, step, etc., and parameter signals such as speed , phase, etc., and can send status signals to the system. "at

Other motors that are not part of the motion control system are connected to the fieldbus either through their controllers or through their direct starting devices.

Field tire. The field bus includes a cable routed around the cigarette machine and filter harvester to form the main line of the control system. Attached to this cable are "

Controllers and managed elements. The signal flow is regulated by the software protocol. Currently, the preference is given to Sche) with the OemiseMeitm and Rgoirivtm protocols. This protocol controls the flow of signals between elements connected to and from the fieldbus, so that it is possible to direct a specific signal to and from specific devices. In and? protocol, each signal is a packet containing 8 bytes of data. The packet is preceded by a header that contains information about the content of the message and its priority. Other devices on the bus will be programmed

Depending on the content of the header, the message will be accepted or rejected accordingly. Content priority ensures that only one device will transmit at a time. In this way, the control system can be configured so that a central controller, usually a PLC or PC, can control all functions, or it can be configured differently - so that there is no central controller, but

Ge) intelligent devices communicate with other intelligent devices using peer-to-peer communication; these devices then perform control functions related to their purpose. o Devices connected to a fieldbus can be similar to conventional devices with an added processor, whose functions are to encode information for transmission and decode messages from devices to be received. So, for example, the switch will need to transmit information about whether it worked or not, and possible diagnostic information: whether the working surfaces are dirty, whether it is not overheated, whether it does not perceive

Excessive vibration, etc. On the other hand, the motor can transmit such information as speed, torque, direction of rotation, power, temperature, etc. The motor can also accept information such as (F, start, stop, step commands, change speed or direction, etc. Devices that do not have the necessary on-board co-processor can still be connected to the fieldbus, but they will need an interface that will perform encoding and decoding.Of course, in this case, the device cannot output diagnostic information.

Fig. 30 shows an overview of the first embodiment of the control system. The field bus 500 connects the six main units of the system: the cigarette machine 502, the cigarette machine control cabinet 504, the filter collection machine 506, the filter collection machine control cabinet 508, the control unit 510, and the control system 512.

The cigarette machine unit includes a machine LMI 514, several sensor units, shown here as sensor units 65 216, 5181 520, and a pneumatic valve unit 522. Each of the sensor units, valve unit, and LMI are connected to a fieldbus 500. Cigarette Machine Control Cabinet The 504 has several variable speed drives and a cigarette machine controller, all connected to the fieldbus. The drawing shows the 524-530 variable speed drives for the take-off and return rolls, the large and small fans and the tobacco return device. On the LMI filter harvester, the filter harvester controller 532 is connected directly to the field bus, as are the drive loco sensors 534, the bonding area sensors 536, the pneumatic valve grippers 538, and the pneumatic self-cleaning valves 540. In the filter harvester control cabinet, the filter harvester controller 542 is connected to the field bus 500. The scanner is in the control unit

OemiseMei 544 is attached to the field bus. Interfacing with the scanner 544 is an inspection and rejection unit controller 546. The OemisemMei manager 548 is also connected to the fieldbus. Of course, this manager is selected according to the applied fieldbus protocol. Finally, the central controller 550 is also connected to the fieldbus. This central controller 550 provides overall control of all machine functions via the fieldbus. The central controller 550 has MOA monitor, keyboard and mouse inputs 551, which are also connected to an additional PC 552 for input programming and to a data acquisition device 554, which is connected to the 7/5 BemiseMei manager 548 via the E(Pegpei) LAN 556.

The motion controller of the synchronized motors 557 is connected to the central controller 550 through a remote input-output channel 558. It is easy to understand that this motion controller is not connected to the fieldbus. So, for example, operating parameters entered through the LMI, which themselves can be accessed remotely, are first accepted by the central controller, which can forward them to the EAR controller if necessary. Therefore, the speed and phase control of synchronous motors is separated from the functions

LMI

Fig. 31 illustrates an alternative management organization. In this figure, two LMIs, shown as operator control touch screens 560, 562, are connected by a cable channel for the transmission of graphic information to the central machine controller 564 and are not connected to the fieldbus or the control network 566. Although one of these LMIs 260 shown outside the cigarette machine control cabinet, yet there is one LMI for the cigarette machine and one for the filter harvester. The machine controller is connected to the dispatch and control system 568 and to the enterprise network 570 through EMSHPegpei channels. In the control cabinets of the cigarette machine and the filter collection machine, the valves and various input-output devices are all connected to said control network. However, in addition, the motion controller 572 is also connected to the control network. It can be seen from the scheme -p zo that LMI, as before, is separated from the motion controller by the general machine controller 564. Fig. 31 shows, for example, devices that perform some functions of the machine. This sample is not exhaustive. Me

LMI The system requires two LMIs that perform different functions, one for the filter-harvesting machine, one for the cigarette machine. This leads to the need to have two PCs. These PCs are configured so that the database and operation of one LMI is based on the server PC, and the other is configured as a client. co

LMI software, in addition to the functions of indicating machine controls and messages, allows the integration of other PC programs for historical data analysis, reporting to networked PCs or systems, current diagnostics, and for auxiliary capabilities such as parts catalogs, operating instructions, expert systems and video programs for operator training.

LMIs use open technologies to allow as much interoperability and use of modern technologies as possible, such as the Internet and object-oriented programming. It can be used to connect with other programs within the enterprise for technological support during maintenance and repair and with a central spare parts warehouse to forecast the need for spare parts and order them. It is possible, ;" of course, other applications are also apparent to those skilled in the art.

Separate LMIs are used on the filter-harvesting machine and on the cigarette machine, although a single LMI could be used. Each of the LMI is controlled by a personal computer, which can be connected, for example, via

Ge» channel TSR/R, to the remote LOM. This creates the need to be able to access the controllers of the cigarette machine and the filter collection machine from remote locations, perhaps even from outside the factory. These LMIs form a system manager with a software interface to the cigarette machine. LMI indications include 2) a configurable set of function buttons that can be displayed, for example, on a touch-sensitive, i.e., touch-sensitive, display screen. The operator can enter a password from the keyboard, which gives access to one of the hierarchical control levels. For example, the master password gives full access to

Kk of the system, while a more restricted password may allow the user to access only some management functions. As an alternative to a keyboard, passwords or user IDs can be stored on swipe cards or other identification devices, and the LMI can be equipped with a suitable device for two card readers. LMIs can be implemented as PCs with suitable interfaces to the machine controller.

Fig. 32-36 show examples of LMI screens that are presented to the operator. Many of the user-selectable functions are represented as buttons. These are areas of the screen that, when selected by the operator, perform functions equivalent to a normal button. The different shades of button shading shown in these figures indicate that different types of functions can be displayed as buttons of different colors. For example, each of these functions can be represented in a different color: moving to another screen; stopping the currently activated function; starting an inactive function; creeping (i.e., very slow) movement speed of a component such as motor; fault reset; and various other functions. At any given time, the LMI will display some portion of the available information or available controls to the operator. Fig. 37 shows the relationships between the various screens that may be presented to the operator with the appropriate level of resolution. For those skilled in the art, 65 it will be clear that FIG. 37 shows only a few of the screens that may be displayed.

The screen shown in Fig. 32 is the main menu. The information is presented in four rows. The first row 420 is intended for displaying messages. In Fig. 32, it informs the operator that the machine is stopped because a fault has been detected in the heater of the twisting unit, which has exceeded the pre-set working limits. A message line will also indicate the machine's output in cigarettes per minute if the machine is running.

The second row has only one "Fault Reset" button 422, with which the operator resets the machine after the fault has been cleared. The third row has a "Stop" button 424, the selection of which forces the machine to go to a controlled stop, and a "Protection of the suction chamber" button 426.

The fourth row has, from left to right, the following buttons:

Machine preparation 428 70 Parameter adjustment screen 430

432 phase shift screen

Service mode screen 434

Advanced diagnostics screen 436

Go to Configuration screen 438

The "Machine Preparation" button 428 selects the cigarette machine preparation screen shown in Fig.33, the "Parameter Adjustment Screen" button 430 selects the parameter adjustment screen shown in Fig.34. Selecting the "Phase Shift Screen" button 432 brings the operator to the phase shift screen shown in Fig.35. Selecting the Service Mode Screen 434 button takes the operator to the Service Mode screen, and selecting the Advanced Diagnostics Screen and Go to Configuration Screen 436, 438 takes the operator to the Advanced Diagnostics and Go to Configuration screens, respectively.

Let's go to Fig. 33. The first row of the cigarette machine preparation screen is similar to the first row of the main menu, but additionally includes an indication of the current heater temperature. In the second row, in addition to the Fault Reset button, there are the Machine Fans, Tobacco Supply, Distributor, and Headset Format Tape buttons 440, 442, 444, and 446. Each of these four buttons, when selected, turns on or off

Corresponding node. The third row of the screen has, in addition to the suction chamber protection button, which is indicated on the main screen, the buttons "Rod heater: on", "Heater: off", "Manual glue supply" and i) "Suction tape: tension" 448, 450 , 452 and 454. The Bar Heater: On button turns the bar heater on and the Heater: Off button turns the heater off, allowing you to check the paper overlap settings and the heater settings. The "Manual glue feed" button turns the glue feeder on and off, and the "Increment tape: tension" button "-

Switch on and off the tensioning device of the suction tape. When it is turned off, you can remove it and replace the tape.

The button "Protection of the suction chamber" turns the protection of the suction chamber on and off. Me

The fourth row of the machine preparation screen has the "Main Menu" button 456, which allows you to return to the main menu, and the "Machine Operation in Manual Mode" and "Machine Operation in Automatic Mode" buttons 458, 460, which display the manual and automatic screens for the operator operating modes (not shown). The "Operation of the machine in manual mode" button will only work if the program detects that the "O" button "Machine fans" 440 is on, and the function of the "Operation of the machine in automatic mode" button will only work if they are in the on button positions "Machine fans", "Tobacco supply" and "Distributor".

The "Parameter adjustment" screen is shown in Fig. 34. It allows the operator to adjust some of the parameters of the LMI bigaret machine by simply clicking on the corresponding areas of the screen. The information on the "Adjustment with parameters" screen is divided into five rows. In the first row there are buttons "Creeping speed", "Heater . machine" and "Cigarette length" 462, 464 and 466 for adjusting the creeping speed, heater temperature and? cigarette machine and cigarette length, respectively. In the second row are buttons "Low speed", "Machine heater stop upper limit" and "Machine distributor speed" 468, 470 and 472 for setting

LOW machine output (in cigarettes per minute), to automatically stop the machine heater when the temperature reaches a set level, and to set the distributor speed. In the third row there are buttons 474, 476 "Operating speed" and "Machine heater stop lower limit" for setting the operating speed and the lower limit of the machine heater. The single button 478 in the fourth row "Service speed" sets the speed at which the machine should work during service operations. In the fifth row, a single button 480 "Previous screen" returns the user to the previous and, screen. as Fig.35 shows the phase shift screen. This display has four rows of buttons, the first two of which perform self-explanatory functions that need no explanation. In the first row there are buttons "Printing device forward", "Shearing device forward" and "Filter collecting machine forward" 482, 484 and 486, in the second - buttons Printing device back", "Shearing device back" and "Filter collecting machine back" 488, 490 and 492. In the third row there is a button "Adjust phase" 494, which allows the operator to select the value to which

F) it is necessary to adjust the phase of the axis selected in one of the two first rows. Typically, the adjustment will be performed in steps of 0.1 mm. The fourth row has Previous Screen and Stop buttons 496 and 498.

All screens shown are examples of LMI cigarette machine screens. It is clear that the LMI of the filter-harvesting machine shows similar screens, but according to the functions of the filter-harvesting machine. The screen "Preparation of the filter-harvesting machine" is shown in Fig. 36.

Fig. 38 is a diagram of the algorithm, which explains the main steps of the controller in the control process. The controller, which is separate from the LMI, can usually be a PC that uses control programs running in the M/ipdomuz MT environment, or a panel on the display. 65 After initialization, when the controller has determined that the machine is ready to start (at step 700), the controller executes the start program at step 702, and then actively monitors the cigarette manufacturing rate at step 704. The manufacturing rate may be entered via the LMI along with other information about manufacturing, such as the length of the cigarette rod, the stiffness of the tobacco and the printing position. In practice, most of these variables are fixed for a given cigarette grade and the operator can simply enter through the LMI the grade of cigarettes to be manufactured. The described combined filter-collecting and cigarette machine can work with a production of up to 8,000 cigarettes per minute (sig./min).

At any moment during operation, the operator can stop the machine. In step 706, the controller checks for a manual stop indication and, if found, stops production and commands this information to be transmitted to the LMI for indication. The controller then checks for a restart command which, when a 7/0 is received, causes the controller to return to the beginning of the control process. In step 708, the controller checks the fieldbus data for an emergency stop signal that may be received from one of the fieldbus devices, for example, in the event of an actual or imminent catastrophic failure of a component. In step 710, the controller checks the fieldbus data for indications of a fault condition. At either step 712 or 714, the controller will issue a manufacturing stop command and will look for a /5 Restart Command, as in a manual stop. "Intelligent" devices connected to the fieldbus may have the ability to distinguish between a condition that requires a production line stop and faults that can be rectified within an acceptable time frame. In step 716, the controller checks for warning signals sent to the fieldbus by any of the devices and communicates these warnings to the LMI, for example, to be displayed, printed, or otherwise notified to the operator. In step 718, having found no reason to stop production, and after any warnings have been transmitted to the LMI, the controller, in steps 720 and 722, looks for information from the sensors located on the cigarette paper spool and the rim spool. paper to determine if any of the bobbins need replacing. If so, the controller checks for a new spool and then, at step 724 or 726, executes the appropriate taping program, which will include controlling the speed of the spool to gradually bring it up to production speed while monitoring the status of the paper tank.

In step 728, the controller checks for data from the LMI on the bus and, if so, acts on it and (8) notifies the LMI. In step 730, the controller forwards via the fieldbus to the LMI data that does not fall into the categories described above and that may be required, for example, operational data such as current speeds, production rate, tank levels, temperatures, etc. "- from Fig. 39, Fig. 40, Fig. 41 are diagrams of algorithms of start-up procedures and help to understand how LMI and control PCs interact. When the operator starts the startup program in step 900, the Me software first checks in step 902 that all emergency stop commands of the system are inhibited. with

Next, in step 904, it verifies that all shields and covers on the cigarette machine and the filter collection machine are closed. In step 906, it verifies that the compressed air supply is turned on, and in steps 908 and 910, it verifies that the appropriate maintenance and cleaning schedules have been followed. Finally, in step 912, the mains disconnector is checked and, if it is on, the software proceeds to the filter harvester start-up procedure, at which point the operator selects the filter harvester preparation screen shown in Fig.36. The start-up procedure of the filter harvester begins by checking steps 914 and 916 that the glue supply and rim paper are in order. If this is the case, the operator selects on the LMI screen, at steps " 918, 920, 922, 924, 926 and 928, the buttons "Roll unit", "Filter harvester fans", "Gluer rollers", "Knife motors", " Auto/Manual" and "Creeping Speed" to enable all these functions and select automatic or manual mode. The Creep function will rotate the filter picker from the machine until it is determined, at steps 930, 932, that the rim paper feed is in the desired position and that the filter sticks are on the feed drum. At this stage the software

You can go to the cigarette machine startup program shown in Fig.41. The operator first selects the language

Ge" indication on the LMI, in step 934, and then, in step 936, presses the button to call up the cigarette machine preparation screen in the main menu. On the cigarette machine preparation screen, the operator next turns on the machine fans, tobacco supply, and dispenser at steps 938, 940, and 942. At step 944, the operator loads a roll of cigarette 2) paper and feeds the paper into the printing device, and then, at step 948, selects from the LMI display the function "Creep speed, after which the actuators are rotated slowly while the program checks for the presence of tobacco at step 950, at which time the paper is fed along the headset and the print lever is closed at step 952. When detected at step 954, that all materials are fed correctly, the operator can select the ``Start machine in automatic mode'' button on the machine preparation screen at step 956 and operate automatically through the ``Auto operation'' screen.

The described cigarette machine and filter collecting machine, as well as the method of controlling them, have several advantages over known systems. The use of synchronous drive motors eliminates the need for noisy and inefficient transmissions driven by a central motor, thereby facilitating increased operating speeds. In addition, parameters such as print position and seal end position can be changed by performing control operations , related to the phase of the printing device and the cam. This means that such parameters can be adjusted with reduced production downtime. This leads to improved quality, which can reduce production costs. The use of synchronous servo motors not only gives higher operating speeds, but and significantly reduces noise, creating a more beneficial working environment. In addition, the energy required is greatly reduced. An additional benefit of the system is that, by eliminating most of the mechanical transmissions, the mean time between failures is increased. The use of PC-based LMIs of "intelligent" sensors and other devices also reduces the average time, in spent on repairs, as diagnostic information can be displayed on the LMI. LMI can also identify the specific part that needs to be replaced by using the built-in catalog. This, in turn, can reduce the amount of inventory documents that need to be kept. Since the LMI can be connected via the TSR/R channel to the Ipigape (or LOM) local network, remote diagnostics are possible, as well as remote repairs and updates. In addition to tallow, enterprise data can be downloaded from a central source to one or more machines. This can include information such as main clock, shift hours, data on the type of cigarettes, etc. Additionally,

The LMI can be programmed to store instructional information that can be used to inform operators, for example, of aspects of machine control that they rarely encounter, or to provide interactive training programs, for example, from CDs or training videos for 7/ 0 new operators.
