Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filter rod processing technology, and in particular to a device for preventing filter rods from tipping over in a tray unloading machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and conveying process of filter rods, the unloading machine plays a crucial role. Through a series of processes, including longitudinal unloading grid conveying, longitudinal unloading grid flipping, and vertical unloading, it ensures that the filter rods in the longitudinal unloading grid enter the unloading machine in an orderly manner. However, existing unloading machines have significant defects in the vertical unloading process.

[0003] Because the front of the longitudinal unloading compartment is unobstructed, when there are disordered filter rods in the tray, or if the longitudinal unloading compartment in the previous process flips abnormally, the filter rods are very likely to tip over during their vertical descent. These tipped filter rods may fall directly to the ground and become waste, resulting in the waste of finished filter rods. At the same time, they may be blocked by the alignment device below, causing the alignment device to jam, which in turn leads to more widespread disordered rods and damage to the filter rods. If the falling filter rods fall into the empty trays on the lower level of the unloading machine, the subsequent use of empty trays will result in the wrong filter rods being mixed up.

[0004] Furthermore, the unloading machine lacks obstruction in front of the longitudinal unloading compartments at the unloading station. When the filter rods move horizontally during their descent due to abnormal factors such as crossbars or blockages, a large number of filter rods in the current compartment can easily tip over and detach from the equipment. To solve these problems, manual intervention and tidying up the tipped filter rods are usually required. This not only affects the continuity of the unloading machine's operation but may also cause material interruption in the downstream transmitter, as well as a series of problems such as scattered filter rods on the production site and mixed or incorrectly labeled filter rods during subsequent tray loading. Utility Model Content

The filter rod unloading machine has a longitudinal unloading compartment for conveying filter rods and also includes a deionization device for blowing ionizing air into the longitudinal unloading compartment. The anti-tipping device includes a clamping assembly and a guide plate. The clamping assembly is detachably sleeved on the deionization device. The guide plate is located between the deionization device and the longitudinal unloading compartment. The plane of the guide plate is perpendicular to the front-back direction. The guide plate has several through holes, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the filter rod. A protrusion is provided on the side of the guide plate near the clamping assembly. One of the clamping assembly and the protrusion has a fixing post, and the other has a through hole. The fixing post can be detachably inserted into the through hole in the left-right direction.

[0008] As an optional technical solution for the anti-tipping device of the unloading machine, the clamping assembly includes a first clamping member and a second clamping member. The edge of the first clamping member is provided with a first side groove, and the edge of the second clamping member is provided with a second side groove. The groove wall of the first side groove and the groove wall of the second side groove form a clamping hole. The clamping hole extends through the clamping assembly in the vertical direction, and the hole wall of the clamping hole is in contact with the outer wall of the deionization device.

[0009] As an optional technical solution for the anti-tipping device of the unloading machine, the clamping assembly further includes several locking units. Each locking unit includes a locking bolt and a locking nut. The locking bolt passes through the first clamping member and the second clamping member and is locked to the locking nut.

[0010] As an optional technical solution for the anti-tipping device of the unloading machine, the first clamping member has a first assembly hole, the number of the first assembly holes is the same as the number of the locking bolts, and each of the locking bolts passes through one of the first assembly holes; the second clamping member has a second assembly hole, the number of the second assembly holes is the same as the number of the locking bolts, and each of the locking bolts passes through one of the second assembly holes.

[0011] As an optional technical solution for the anti-tipping device of the unloading machine filter rod, one of the first assembly hole and the second assembly hole is connected to a countersunk hole, and the locking nut is matched and installed in the countersunk hole.

[0012] As an optional technical solution for the anti-tipping device of the filter rod unloading machine, the through hole includes a connecting clearance groove and a through hole; one of the first clamping member and the second clamping member has the clearance groove on its edge, and the other has the through hole; the fixing column first passes through the clearance groove and then is inserted into the through hole.

[0013] As an optional technical solution for the anti-tipping device of the unloading machine, the distance between the guide plate and the longitudinal unloading grid is at least 1 cm in the front-to-back direction.

[0014] As an optional technical solution for the anti-tipping device of the unloading machine, the protrusion is located in the center of the guide plate, and all the through holes are divided into two groups, with the through holes in each group arranged in a matrix.

[0015] As an optional technical solution for the anti-tipping device of the filter rod unloading machine, in a plane perpendicular to the front and back direction, the top projection of the longitudinal unloading grid is 20cm higher than the top projection of the guide plate, the bottom projection of the longitudinal unloading grid is 20cm lower than the bottom projection of the guide plate, the left projection of the longitudinal unloading grid coincides with the left projection of the guide plate, and the right projection of the longitudinal unloading grid coincides with the right projection of the guide plate.

[0016] As an optional technical solution for the anti-tipping device of the unloading machine, the guide plate and the clamping assembly are both made of PETG; and / or, the guide plate and the clamping assembly are both hollow shell structures.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The guide plate of the filter rod anti-tipping device of the unloading machine is located between the deionization unit and the longitudinal unloading grid. When the filter rod tilts towards the guide plate due to abnormal factors during its descent, the guide plate can block the end face of the filter rod, reducing the risk of the filter rod falling out of the current longitudinal unloading grid and partially tilting, avoiding haphazard situations, preventing the entire grid from tilting during filter rod unloading, reducing the amount of filter rod falling during unloading, and allowing the filter rod to smoothly enter the working range of the downstream mechanism, reducing the failure rate of the downstream mechanism caused by the filter rod falling. The guide plate has several through holes with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the filter rod, which can ensure that the ion air generated by the deionization unit can pass through the guide plate normally, eliminating static electricity generated by the friction of the filter rod, and preventing the end face of the filter rod from getting stuck in the through holes. The clamping assembly and the protrusion can be detachably inserted and inserted in the left and right direction through the fixing post and through holes, which facilitates the installation and removal of the guide plate, and the position of the guide plate can be adjusted according to the actual situation, realizing the flexible adaptation and disassembly of the filter rod anti-tipping device of the unloading machine. It also facilitates the maintenance and troubleshooting of the filter rod unloading machine. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a filter rod anti-tipping device for a filter rod unloading machine. The filter rod unloading machine has a longitudinal unloading grid for conveying filter rods. The filter rod unloading machine also includes a deionization device for blowing ion air into the longitudinal unloading grid. The anti-tipping device for the filter rod unloading machine includes a clamping assembly and a guide plate 100. The clamping assembly is detachably sleeved on the deionization device. The guide plate 100 is located between the deionization device and the longitudinal unloading grid. The plane of the guide plate 100 is perpendicular to the front-back direction. The guide plate 100 has several through holes 101. The diameter of the through holes 101 is smaller than the diameter of the filter rod. A protrusion 110 is provided on the side of the guide plate 100 near the clamping assembly. One of the clamping assembly and the protrusion 110 is provided with a fixing post 111, and the other is provided with a through hole. The fixing post 111 can be detachably inserted into the through hole in the left-right direction.

[0035] The guide plate 100 of the filter rod anti-tipping device of the unloading machine is set between the deionization unit and the longitudinal unloading grid. When the filter rod tilts towards the guide plate 100 due to abnormal factors during the fall, the guide plate 100 can block the end face of the filter rod, reducing the risk of the filter rod falling from the current longitudinal unloading grid and partially tilting, avoiding the occurrence of horizontal disorder, preventing the entire grid from tilting during filter rod unloading, reducing the amount of filter rod falling during the unloading process, and allowing the filter rod to smoothly enter the working range of the downstream mechanism, reducing the failure rate of the downstream mechanism caused by the filter rod falling. The guide plate 100 has several through holes 101 with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the filter rod. This can ensure that the ion wind generated by the deionization unit can pass through the guide plate 100 normally, eliminating the static electricity generated by the friction of the filter rod, and also prevent the end face of the filter rod from getting stuck in the through holes 101. The clamping assembly and the protrusion 110 are detachably connected in the left and right directions through the fixing post 111 and the through hole, which facilitates the installation and removal of the guide plate 100 and allows the position of the guide plate 100 to be adjusted according to the actual situation, so as to realize the flexible adaptation and disassembly of the filter rod anti-tipping device of the unloading machine, and at the same time, it is also beneficial to the maintenance and troubleshooting of the filter rod unloading machine.

[0036] Specifically, the fixing post 111 is disposed on the protrusion 110, and the through hole is disposed on the clamping assembly, with the fixing post 111 and the through hole having a clearance fit.

[0037] In this embodiment, the filter rod unloading machine is a Gemini TU unloading machine, and the downstream mechanism is an alignment device. The alignment device is used to beat and align the filter rods that have entered the working range. The cross-section of the through hole 101 is a rectangle of 3mm*3mm.

[0038] For example, the clamping assembly includes a first clamping member 200 and a second clamping member 300. The edge of the first clamping member 200 is provided with a first side groove 203, and the edge of the second clamping member 300 is provided with a second side groove 303. The groove wall of the first side groove 203 and the groove wall of the second side groove 303 form a clamping hole. The clamping hole extends through the clamping assembly in the vertical direction, and the hole wall of the clamping hole is in contact with the outer wall of the deionization device.

[0039] The clamping hole formed by the side grooves of the first clamping member 200 and the second clamping member 300 fits snugly against the outer wall of the deionization unit. This allows for non-destructive installation without altering the structure of the filter rod unloading machine and is adaptable to the size of the deionization unit. This fitting method ensures that the clamping components are stably fitted onto the deionization unit, guaranteeing the overall stability of the anti-filter rod tilting device and effectively preventing filter rod tilting. Furthermore, due to the fitted design, the position of the anti-filter rod tilting device can be adjusted vertically within the intervals between the nozzles of the deionization unit to adapt to different operational needs.

[0040] Furthermore, the clamping assembly also includes several locking units, each including a locking bolt 400 and a locking nut 500. The locking bolt 400 passes through the first clamping member 200 and the second clamping member 300 and is locked to the locking nut 500.

[0041] The first clamping member 200 and the second clamping member 300 are locked together by the locking bolt 400 and the locking nut 500, which further enhances the connection stability between the clamping assembly and the deionization device, prevents the anti-filter rod tilting device of the unloading machine from loosening or shifting during operation, and ensures that it can play its normal role in preventing filter rod tilting.

[0042] Furthermore, the first clamping member 200 has a first assembly hole 202 through it, the number of first assembly holes 202 is the same as the number of locking bolts 400, and each locking bolt 400 passes through a first assembly hole 202. The second clamping member 300 has a second assembly hole through it, the number of second assembly holes is the same as the number of locking bolts 400, and each locking bolt 400 passes through a second assembly hole.

[0043] The number of first assembly holes 202 and second assembly holes is the same as that of locking bolts 400 and they correspond one-to-one, ensuring that the locking bolts 400 can pass through accurately. This ensures the accuracy and efficiency of the installation process of the locking bolts 400 and the accuracy of the installation position of the locking bolts 400. It also ensures that the first clamping member 200 and the second clamping member 300 can be accurately aligned and firmly connected, ensuring that the clamping assembly can be correctly installed on the deionization device and perform its due function, further improving the overall stability of the anti-filter rod tilting device of the unloading machine.

[0044] Furthermore, a countersunk hole 302 is connected to one of the first assembly hole 202 and the second assembly hole, and a locking nut 500 is fitted into the countersunk hole 302. Specifically, the countersunk hole 302 is connected to the second assembly hole.

[0045] The first assembly hole 202 or the second assembly hole is connected to the countersunk hole 302. The locking nut 500 is matched and installed in the countersunk hole 302. The installation can be completed with only a wrench, which simplifies the installation process, improves the installation efficiency, and reflects the non-destructive and rapid installation characteristics of the anti-filter rod tilting device of the unloading machine.

[0046] In this embodiment, the through hole includes a connecting clearance groove 201 and a through hole 301; one of the first clamping member 200 and the second clamping member 300 has a clearance groove 201 on its edge, and the other has a through hole 301; the fixing post 111 first passes through the clearance groove 201 and then is inserted into the through hole 301. Specifically, the edge of the first clamping member 200 has a clearance groove 201, and the second clamping member 300 has a through hole 301.

[0047] The design of the avoidance slot 201 and the through hole 301 allows the fixing post 111 to pass through and be inserted smoothly, thus connecting the guide plate 100 to the clamping assembly. This layout is reasonable, ensuring both the rationality and stability of the connection between the guide plate 100 and the clamping assembly, while also facilitating the installation and removal of the guide plate 100 without affecting the overall structure and performance of the anti-tipping device for the filter rods of the unloading machine. It also allows the guide plate 100 to detach from the clamping assembly automatically when subjected to lateral impacts, preventing damage to the clamping assembly and the deionization device. In case of malfunctions such as rod misalignment or clamping, it can be quickly removed without affecting the speed of troubleshooting.

[0048] Specifically, the cross-sections of the through hole 301 and the fixing post 111 are both rectangular.

[0049] Both the through hole 301 and the fixing column 111 have rectangular cross-sections. Compared with other shapes such as circles, the rectangular structure can effectively prevent the guide plate 100 from rotating after installation, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the installation of the guide plate 100, which is conducive to accurate positioning and enables the guide plate 100 to accurately play the role of preventing the filter rod from tipping over.

[0050] For example, in the front-to-back direction, the distance between the guide plate 100 and the longitudinal unloading grid is at least 1 cm.

[0051] The distance between the guide plate 100 and the longitudinal discharge grid is at least 1cm, which provides a certain amount of redundancy space in case of deformation of the longitudinal discharge grid. This avoids interference between the guide plate 100 and the longitudinal discharge grid due to deformation, prevents damage to the anti-filter rod tilting device of the unloading machine, and does not affect the unloading of the filter rods, thus ensuring the normal operation of the anti-filter rod tilting device of the unloading machine.

[0052] In this embodiment, the protrusion 110 is located in the center of the guide plate 100, and all the through holes 101 are divided into two groups, with the through holes 101 in each group arranged in a matrix.

[0053] The protrusion 110 is located in the center of the guide plate 100, making the overall anti-tipping device of the unloading machine symmetrical from top to bottom. By rotating the installation angle by 180°, it can be adapted to unloading machines with both left-side and right-side discharge methods, improving the versatility and applicability of the anti-tipping device. The through holes 101 are grouped in a matrix arrangement, which not only ensures that the ion air can pass through the guide plate 100 evenly and better eliminate static electricity on the filter rods, but also makes the structure of the guide plate 100 more regular, which can more effectively guide the filter rods to fall, reduce filter rod clogging and tipping, and help improve production efficiency and quality.

[0054] Furthermore, in a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction, the top of the projection of the longitudinal unloading grid is 20cm higher than the top of the projection of the guide plate 100, the bottom of the projection of the longitudinal unloading grid is 20cm lower than the bottom of the projection of the guide plate 100, the left end of the projection of the longitudinal unloading grid coincides with the left end of the projection of the guide plate 100, and the right end of the projection of the longitudinal unloading grid coincides with the right end of the projection of the guide plate 100.

[0055] The height difference and positional relationship between the longitudinal discharge grid and the guide plate 100 in the projection allow for sufficient space above and below, facilitating operators in handling issues such as misaligned or clamped filter rods. This improves the maintenance convenience and troubleshooting efficiency of the filter rod unloading machine. The left and right ends of the longitudinal discharge grid and the guide plate 100 coincide in the projection, ensuring that the guide plate 100 can accurately block and guide the filter rods, allowing them to smoothly enter the downstream mechanism.

[0056] In one embodiment of this invention, both the guide plate 100 and the clamping assembly are made of PETG; and both the guide plate 100 and the clamping assembly are hollow shell structures.

[0057] PETG is a transparent, non-crystalline copolyester.

[0058] The guide plate 100 and the clamping assembly are made of PETG material and have a hollow shell structure, which reduces the overall weight, avoids putting too much weight burden on the deionization unit support, extends the service life of the filter rod unloader, and also reduces the energy consumption of the filter rod unloader.

[0059] In another embodiment of this invention, only the material of the guide plate 100 and the clamping assembly is limited to PETG. In yet another embodiment of this invention, only the material of the guide plate 100 and the clamping assembly is limited to hollow shell structures.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
