Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigarette equipment technology, and more specifically, to a tobacco sampler for a tobacco storage cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] After being dried and placed in the storage cabinet, the tobacco shreds need to be stored for a period of time according to process requirements before sampling and testing. Currently, tobacco shreds are sampled by inspectors at the rear door of the storage cabinet, which only allows for sampling from one point. Generally, the moisture content of the tobacco shreds on the front, back, and top surfaces of the storage cabinet is relatively dry. Therefore, sampling at the rear door of the storage cabinet is unreasonable and cannot accurately determine the true moisture content of the tobacco shreds inside the cabinet. Occasionally, the measured moisture content deviates significantly from the actual value, affecting product quality. This unreasonable sampling method for moisture testing of tobacco shreds after drying and placement in the cabinet leads to significant deviations between measured and actual moisture content values.

[0003] The invention with announcement number CN212134120U proposes a tobacco sampler for a tobacco storage cabinet in a tobacco processing line. This tobacco sampler can perform multi-point sampling of tobacco in the storage cabinet, avoiding the problem of large deviation between the detected value and the actual value of tobacco moisture, and realizing the authenticity of the moisture detection of tobacco in the storage cabinet. However, in actual use, it can only sample tobacco at the same depth at a time, and the claw hook structure makes it easy for tobacco to fall off when grabbing it, resulting in poor actual use effect.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a tobacco sampler for tobacco storage cabinets has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tobacco sampler for use in tobacco storage cabinets.

[0015] Optionally, the lifting component includes a lifting cylinder, which is mounted on an aerial platform or a fabric carrier. The output end of the lifting cylinder is provided with a lifting rod that moves downward. The stroke of the lifting rod is greater than the thickness of the tobacco shreds in the tobacco storage cabinet. The bottom end of the lifting rod is provided with a connecting flange, which is connected to the top end of the sampling cylinder by bolts.

[0016] Optionally, the material receiving element is evenly arranged in three sets along the circumference. The material receiving element includes a sliding rod slidably connected in the slide groove. The sliding rod passes through the three sets of the collecting cylinders.

Then, the lifting component operates, and the lifting cylinder drives the lifting rod downward, pushing the sampling component into the interior of the tobacco. After reaching the appropriate position, the user controls the external suction device to evacuate the extraction chamber through the suction pipe. The airflow carries the tobacco from the outside into the collection chamber of the collection cylinder, where it is blocked by the filter disc to prevent it from entering the extraction chamber. Then, the lifting component moves the sampling component upward to reset, and the external suction device stops operating. The user uses a lever to move the sliding rod outward, and the tobacco in the collection chamber is pushed out by the filter disc to complete the sampling. Then, the lever is released, and the spring pushes it back to reset. This achieves multi-layer deep tobacco sampling within the tobacco pile, resulting in a more comprehensive sample. Furthermore, the suction-type structure provides better stability for the tobacco compared to the traditional claw hook structure, preventing it from falling off and effectively enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0031] According to the present invention, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a tobacco sampler for a tobacco storage cabinet is provided, including a main body 1. The main body 1 includes: a sampling component 2 for sampling tobacco at different depths in the tobacco storage cabinet, and a collector 22 is provided on the sampling component 2; a lifting component 3 for driving the sampling component 2 to move up and down, and the lifting component 3 is provided at the top of the sampling component 2; and a material taking component 4 for taking out the tobacco collected in the collector 22, and the material taking component 4 is provided on the sampling component 2.

[0032] The sampling component 2 includes a sampling cylinder 21, which has a hollow interior with an extraction chamber 211. The bottom of the sampling cylinder 21 has a rounded tip 212. During use, the lifting component 3 can press the sampling cylinder 21 into the tobacco. The upper outer side of the sampling cylinder 21 has a connector 213, and the connector 213 has an air extraction pipe 214. The air extraction pipe 214 is connected to the interior of the extraction chamber 211. The end of the air extraction pipe 214 away from the connector 213 is connected to an external air extraction device. During use, the external air extraction device extracts air from the extraction chamber 211 through the air extraction pipe 214.

[0033] The collector 22 has three sets evenly arranged around its circumference. The collector 22 includes three sets of collection cylinders 221 evenly arranged vertically. Each collection cylinder 221 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sampling cylinder 21. Each collection cylinder 221 contains a collection chamber 2211, which is open on the outside. The inside of the collection chamber 2211 passes through the sampling cylinder 21 and communicates with the inside of the extraction chamber 211. A sliding groove 2212 is provided inwardly on the outside of the collection cylinder 221, passing through both the upper and lower ends of the collection cylinder 221. During use, because the inside of the collection chamber 2211 communicates with the inside of the extraction chamber 211 through the sampling cylinder 21, when an external suction device draws air in, the tobacco is drawn into the collection chamber 2211 for collection.

[0034] The lifting component 3 includes a lifting cylinder 31, which is mounted on an aerial platform or a material distribution vehicle. The output end of the lifting cylinder 31 is provided with a lifting rod 32. The stroke of the lifting rod 32 is greater than the thickness of the tobacco shreds in the storage cabinet. The bottom end of the lifting rod 32 is provided with a connecting flange 33, which is connected to the top end of the sampling cylinder 21 by bolts. In use, the lifting cylinder 31 can drive the lifting rod 32 to move up and down, thereby controlling the sampling cylinder 21 to move up and down.

[0035] The material-collecting component 4 is evenly arranged in three sets along its circumference. Each material-collecting component 4 includes a sliding rod 41 slidably connected within a slide groove 2212. The sliding rod 41 passes through the three sets of collecting cylinders 221. Three sets of filter discs 42 are evenly arranged on the sliding rod 41, and the filter discs 42 are slidably connected within the collecting chamber 2211. A filter screen 421 is provided on the filter disc 42 to prevent tobacco from entering the extraction chamber 211 and causing blockage. A slide cylinder 43 is provided at the top of the sliding rod 41, and a lever 44 is provided at the top of the slide cylinder 43. The material-collecting component 4 also includes three sets of guide rods 4 corresponding to the sliding rod 41. 5. The guide rod 45 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sampling cylinder 21, and the slide cylinder 43 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 45. A limit seat 46 is also provided on the outside of the guide rod 45. A spring 47 is provided on the inside of the limit seat 46. The spring 47 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 45, and the inside of the spring 47 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slide cylinder 43. When performing the material collection operation, the user uses the lever 44 to drive the slide rod 41 to move outward. The tobacco in the collection chamber 2211 is pushed out by the filter disc 42 to complete the sampling. Then, the lever 44 is released, and the spring 47 pushes it to reset.

[0036] This invention, through the design of the main body 1, allows the user to first use a high-altitude mobile platform or fabric trolley to move the lifting component 3, bringing the sampling component 2 above the tobacco storage cabinet. Then, the lifting component 3 operates, and the lifting cylinder 31 drives the lifting rod 32 downwards, pushing the sampling component 2 into the interior of the tobacco. Once in the appropriate position, the user controls an external suction device to draw air from the extraction chamber 211 through the suction pipe 214. The airflow carries the tobacco from the outside into the collection chamber 2211 within the collection cylinder 221, where it is blocked by the filter disc 42, preventing it from entering the collection chamber. In the sampling chamber 211, the lifting component 3 then moves the sampling assembly 2 upward to reset, and the external suction device stops operating. The user uses the lever 44 to move the sliding rod 41 outward, and the filter plate 42 pushes out the tobacco in the collection chamber 2211 to complete the sampling. Then, the lever 44 is released, and the spring 47 pushes it to reset. This achieves multi-layer deep tobacco sampling effect in the tobacco pile, and the sample is more comprehensive. Moreover, the suction-type structure for collection has a better stabilizing effect on tobacco than the traditional claw hook structure, and will not cause problems such as falling, effectively enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0037] In summary, the technical content disclosed in this invention, through the setting of the main body of the device, allows the user to first use a high-altitude mobile platform or a fabric cart to move the lifting component, bringing the sampling component above the tobacco storage cabinet. Then, the lifting component operates, and the lifting cylinder drives the lifting rod downwards, pushing the sampling component into the interior of the tobacco. Once in the appropriate position, the user controls an external suction device to draw air from the extraction chamber through the suction pipe. The airflow carries the tobacco from the outside into the collection chamber within the collection cylinder, where it is blocked by the filter disc to prevent it from entering the extraction chamber. Subsequently, the lifting component moves the sampling component upwards to its reset position, the external suction device stops operating, and the user uses a lever to move the sliding rod outwards, using the filter disc to push the tobacco out of the collection chamber, completing the sampling. The lever is then released, and the spring pushes it back to its reset position. This achieves multi-layered, deep tobacco sampling within the tobacco pile, resulting in a more comprehensive sample. Furthermore, the suction-type structure provides better stability for the tobacco compared to traditional claw-hook structures, preventing it from falling out and effectively enhancing the device's practicality.
