Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a dehydration device, in particular to a brush degumming and dehydration device for a cigarette making machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the cigarette making machines used by various cigarette production plants, brushes are required to clean the surface of the tipping paper cutter in real time. The reason is that after the equipment is running, the surface of the tipping paper cutter will be sticky with glue. If it is not cleaned in time, it will affect the quality of the cigarettes. In addition, after the equipment has been running for a long time, the glue will accumulate more and more, and the cleaning effect of the brush will become worse and worse. It is necessary to stop the machine for maintenance, clean the tipping paper cutter, and replace the new brush. In actual production, three sets of brushes are generally equipped for each cigarette making machine. This ensures that there are brushes to replace when the operator stops the machine to clean the tipping paper cutter, and there is no need to clean the brush that has been stuck with glue on site, which effectively avoids the long-term shutdown of the equipment caused by cleaning the brush.

[0003] However, after counting the operators' cleaning brush methods, it was found that the operators would soak the brushes covered with glue in a bucket for a period of time to soften and fall off the glue, and then put the brushes with water on the ground and blow compressed air on their surfaces to quickly remove the moisture and glue on the brushes. This seemingly small step actually affects many aspects. The moisture from the brushes will remain on the ground and cannot evaporate in time, causing water to accumulate on the ground, which can easily cause people to slip and get injured, affecting 7S management. Even if a layer of plastic is placed on the ground first and then compressed air is used to remove the moisture from the brushes, there will still be a certain amount of accumulated water on the ground, and this working method is not very efficient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a brush degumming and dehydrating device for a cigarette making machine comprises: a shell, a lifting device 3 and an air blowing mechanism 5, wherein the shell consists of an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2, the upper shell 1 is a barrel-shaped structure with an opening at the bottom, and the lower shell 2 is a barrel-shaped structure with an opening at the top, and the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are preferably cylindrical barrel-shaped structures, the upper shell 1 is detachably mounted on the top of the lower shell 2, and the two are internally connected, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 can be connected by threads, and can also be connected by a snap connection or a connecting piece; the lower shell 2 is used to hold water, the air blowing mechanism 5 is installed in the upper shell 1, and a connecting hole 31 is provided on the top of the upper shell 1, and the air supply device is connected to the air blowing mechanism 5 through the connecting hole, and a lifting device 3 is provided in the lower shell 2, and a brush fixing mechanism 4 is installed on the telescopic rod of the lifting device 3.

[0028] When in use, first open the upper shell 1, raise the lifting device 3, then install the brush 16 on the brush fixing mechanism 4, then pour sufficient water into the lower shell 2, then control the lifting device 3 to descend, so that the brush 16 is completely immersed in water, cover the upper shell 1, and the dry glue on the brush 16 will fall off naturally after soaking for a certain period of time. At this time, the lifting device 3 can be controlled to rise, so that the brush 16 is separated from the water surface, and rises to the upper shell 1, and is opposite to the position of the blowing mechanism 5, and then the air supply device is used to supply air to the blowing mechanism 5, and the blowing mechanism 5 blows gas to the brush 16, so that the water on the brush 16 evaporates and detaches quickly, and the water detached from the brush 16 falls into the lower shell 2 for collection. In order to facilitate observation of the water level, a transparent observation window 30 can be set on the lower shell 2. The present invention not only effectively replaces manual operation, but also realizes the degumming and dehydration of the brush, greatly improves the cleaning speed of the brush, and has the advantages of being clean and environmentally friendly.

[0029] In a specific implementation, since a large amount of water needs to be contained in the lower shell 2, and the lifting device 3 is arranged in the lower shell 2, waterproof work needs to be done well. Figure 3 As described, a waterproof baffle 6 is provided in the lower shell 2, and the waterproof baffle 6 divides the inner cavity of the lower shell 2 into a water storage cavity 7 and a lifting device installation cavity 8. The lifting device 3 is installed in the lifting device installation cavity 8, and water is contained in the water storage cavity 7. It should be noted that the lifting device 3 is relatively small in size, so the lifting device installation cavity 8 only needs to meet the installation of the lifting device 3, and for the rationality of the position, the lifting device 3 is set next to the inner arm of the lower shell 2. The lifting device 3 can use a hydraulic rod, an electric lifting rod or a pneumatic push-pull rod, etc. This embodiment preferably uses an electric lifting rod, which can be directly purchased. It should be noted that the telescopic rod of the electric lifting rod needs to be set upward. The advantage of the electric lifting rod is that it is small in size and occupies little space, and it is easy to realize automatic control through the control system. Of course, in the absence of automatic control by the control system, the control switch on the electric lifting rod can also be used to control the controller to rise or fall.

[0030] Generally speaking, the lower housing 2 can be filled with water at room temperature, but if hot water is used, the dry glue can be accelerated to fall off and the cleaning cycle can be shortened. Therefore, an electric heater 9 and a temperature sensor 10 can be installed in the lower housing 2. Both can be purchased, and a water level sensor 33 can be provided when necessary to prevent dry burning.

[0031] After use, when there is no need to continue cleaning the brush or when water needs to be changed, the waste water in the lower shell 2 needs to be poured out. The upper shell 1 can be removed and the lower shell 2 can be directly poured out by hand, or a drain valve 11 can be set at the lower part of the lower shell 2 to drain the water. If the drain valve 11 is set, the water can be drained and the water can be changed without disassembling the upper shell 1. In the fully automatic control solution, the drain valve 11 can be designed as an electric drain valve.

[0032] Further, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 4 The brush fixing mechanism 4 includes a connecting rod 12, a mounting shaft 13 and a limiting plate 14. The connecting rod 12 is arranged in the horizontal direction, one end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod, and a threaded hole 15 is provided at the bottom of the other end. The top of the mounting shaft 13 is connected to the threaded hole 15 by threads, and the bottom of the mounting shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 14; the length of the mounting shaft 13 is greater than the length of the brush 16 and less than the height of the lower shell 2, and the diameter of the mounting shaft 13 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting hole of the brush 16, so that the brush 16 can rotate around the mounting shaft 13.

[0033] The purpose of adopting this structural design is to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the brush, and when the blowing mechanism 5 sprays high-pressure gas, the high-pressure gas can drive the brush 16 to rotate around the installation shaft 13 to accelerate the dehydration speed. In order to reduce the friction between the brush 16 and the limiting plate 14, preferably, as Figure 5 As shown, an annular mounting groove 17 is provided at the top of the limiting plate 14, and a ball 18 is provided in the annular mounting groove 17, and the top of the ball 18 extends out of the annular mounting groove 17. The surface contact between the brush 16 and the limiting plate 14 is changed to point contact, which effectively reduces the friction force and allows the brush 16 to rotate more smoothly.

[0034] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, an observation hole 19 is provided at the center position of the top of the upper shell 1, and the observation window 19 is preferably designed as a circular structure. An adjusting disk assembly is also provided on the top of the upper shell 1, and the adjusting disk assembly includes an upper limit portion 20, a connecting portion 21 and a lower limit portion 22, wherein the upper limit portion 20 and the connecting portion 21 are an integrated structure, and a mounting hole 23 is provided on the top of the upper shell 1, the outer diameters of the upper limit portion 20 and the lower limit portion 22 are larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 23, the outer diameter of the connecting portion 21 is equal to the diameter of the mounting hole 23, and the lower limit portion 22 is threadedly connected to the connecting portion 21; a connecting hole 31 is formed on the upper limit portion 20 and the connecting portion 21.

[0035] By setting the adjustment disk assembly, the gas injection angle of the blowing mechanism 5 can be adjusted according to the needs, and no matter how large the diameter of the brush 16 is, the high-pressure gas can be sprayed tangentially to the outer wall surface of the brush 16. In order to facilitate the adjustment, a lever 32 can be set on the upper limit portion 20, and a scale line can be set on the top of the upper shell 1 to achieve rapid adjustment of the blowing mechanism 5.

[0036] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 6 The blowing mechanism 5 includes a rod body 24, and an air passage 25 is formed along the axial direction of the rod body 24. The air inlet of the air passage 25 is located at the end of the rod body 24. A plurality of air holes 26 are formed on the side wall of the rod body 24 along the axial direction of the rod body 24. The air holes 26 are connected with the air passage 25. A first mounting hole 27 is formed at one end of the rod body 24 with the air inlet, and a second mounting hole is formed on the upper limit portion 20 and the connecting portion 21. The rod body 24 is fixed to the top of the upper shell 1 by the cooperation of the screw with the first mounting hole 27 and the second mounting hole. Further, a heating element 29 can be provided in the air passage 25. The heating element 29 can be an electric heating rod, a resistance wire, etc. Through the setting of the heating element 29, the high-pressure gas can be brought to a certain temperature, thereby further improving the drying efficiency.

[0037] The above describes in detail the structure, features and effects of the present invention based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the drawings.
