Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of low-temperature non-combustion cigarette making, and more particularly to a low-temperature non-combustion cigarette cooling section forming device. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, low-temperature non-combustion cigarettes have been favored by more and more people. The low-temperature non-combustion cigarette has a cooling section at the cigarette holder for reducing the temperature of the smoke. The cooling section is usually made of paper material through bundling. When the conventional paper material is bundled, the paper material is passed through a tapered variable-diameter channel to bundle the paper material. After the paper material is bundled, it is bundled into a rod shape. The paper material bundled into a rod shape has a large number of pores for the smoke to pass through. The pores are used to reduce the temperature of the smoke.

[0003] However, a composite film paper covered with a biological film appears on the market. However, the hardness of the composite film paper combined with the biological film increases. After the composite film paper is bundled by the original bundling method, the diameters of the pores in the composite film paper for the smoke to pass through become uneven. The sizes of the pores are different. The cooling effect on the temperature of the smoke is poor. The shape of the bundled cooling section is not smooth, which affects the overall appearance of the low-temperature non-combustion cigarette. The composite film paper on the market has only one side covered with a biological film. The side covered with the biological film can better help cooling. Therefore, it is hoped that the side covered with the biological film can become the inner wall of the pores. However, the inner wall of the pores is completely random when the composite film paper is bundled by the above-mentioned bundling method. The best effect of the composite film paper cannot be achieved.

[0004] During production, the composite film paper used in the cooling section is added with essence to ensure better smoking feeling and better health when the low-temperature non-combustion cigarette is smoked. The essence will also be partially volatilized when not smoked. In order to reduce volatilization, it is hoped that the film-covered surface of the composite film paper faces outward. However, when the composite film paper is bundled by the above-mentioned bundling method, the outward side of the composite film paper is completely random, which is not conducive to the continuous retention of the fragrance and affects the smoking taste of the low-temperature non-combustion cigarette.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0028] As Figures 1-2The low-temperature non-combustion cigarette cooling section forming equipment comprises a box body 7, a heating unit 1, a folding unit 2, a collection unit 3, and a shaping unit 4, etc. The heating unit 1, the folding unit 2, and the collection unit 3 are sequentially fixedly installed on a fixed bottom plate 8. The folding unit 2 is fixedly installed on the fixed bottom plate 8 through mounting holes 91 on a driven bottom plate 9. The fixed bottom plate 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the box body 7. The shaping unit 4 is arranged outside the collection unit 3. In use, the laminated surface of the composite film paper 5 faces downward, is heated and softened by the heating unit 1, is folded twice by the folding unit 2, and is collected into a cylindrical shape by the collection unit. Finally, the shaping unit shapes the collected composite film paper by extrusion to make the shape of the composite film paper round.

[0029] The composite film paper 5 with high hardness is heated and softened by the heating unit 1, so that it is easier to fold. Then the composite film paper 5 is folded twice by the folding unit 2. The folded composite film paper 5 is narrower in width, which is more convenient for collection and reduces the disorder degree of the collection track. Then the composite film paper 5 is collected into a cylindrical shape by the collection unit 3. Finally, the shaping unit 4 shapes the cylindrical composite film paper 5 to make the shape more round. After a series of operations of the above units, the size uniformity of the pores in the cooling section made of the composite film paper 5 is higher, and the cooling effect on the flue gas is better. At the same time, the side of the composite film paper 5 covered with the biological film faces downward, and the outer circle of the cooling section after collection and shaping is the side covered with the biological film, so that the volatilization of the essence on the composite film paper 5 can be reduced when the tobacco is not smoked. The flavor can be continuously maintained to improve the smoking taste of the low-temperature non-combustion cigarette.

[0030] The folding unit 2 comprises a first folding module 21 for folding the horizontally delivered composite film paper 5 into a vertical state. The first folding module 21 comprises a pressing component 23 for pressing the middle part of the composite film paper to press the composite film paper 5 into a vertical V-shaped type; a guide limiting component 24 for guiding the two sides of the vertical V-shaped composite film paper 5 to ensure the movement track of the composite film paper 5; and a vertical extrusion component 25 for extruding the two sides of the vertical V-shaped composite film paper 5 to the middle to fold the composite film paper 5 into a vertical state. In this way, the pressing component 23 first presses the horizontally delivered composite film paper 5 into a V-shaped type to make it shaped. Then the guide limiting component 24 guides the V-shaped composite film paper 5 forward while preventing it from deviating to the left and right sides. Finally, the vertical extrusion component 25 makes the two sides of the vertical V-shaped composite film paper 5 close to each other to realize the first folding of the composite film paper 5.

[0031] The folding unit 2 further comprises a second folding module 22 for folding the composite paper 5 in vertical state after being folded by the first folding module 21 into horizontal state again and conveying the composite paper 5 to the bunching unit 3. The second folding module 22 comprises a side pressing component 26 for pressing the middle part of the composite paper 5 in vertical state after being folded to press the folded composite paper 5 into a transverse V-shaped form, and further comprises a transverse pressing component 27 for pressing the two sides of the composite paper 5 in transverse V-shaped form to the middle to fold the composite paper 5 into horizontal state. In this way, the composite paper 5 in vertical state after being folded for the first time is pressed by the side pressing component 26 from the middle to form a horizontal V-shaped composite paper 5, and then the composite paper 5 enters the transverse pressing component 27, which presses the two sides of the horizontal V-shaped composite paper 5 to the middle to realize the second folding of the composite paper 5.

[0032] As shown in Figures 3-4 , the pressing-down component 23 comprises a first support frame composed of two first support rods 231 and a cross rod 232 fixedly connected between the two first support rods 231, a vertical rod 233 is installed on the cross rod 232, and a V-shaped pressing-down folding block 234 for pressing the composite paper 5 into a V-shaped form is vertically rotatably installed at the bottom end of the vertical rod 233. In a specific implementation, the two first support rods 231 are detachably installed on the two sides of the driven bottom plate 9. The vertical rod 233 and the cross rod 232 are detachably connected, and the vertical rod 233 can be adjusted to different heights on the cross rod 232, and the cross rod 232 can be adjusted to different heights on the two first support rods 231. The V-shaped pressing-down folding block 234 is a V-shaped pressing wheel. In this way, the positions of the first support rods 231 and the vertical rod 233 can be adjusted to adjust the V-shaped pressing-down folding block 234 to a suitable position according to the specific situation of the production line. The composite paper 5 is pressed into a V-shaped form by the V-shaped pressing-down folding block 234 to realize the shaping of the composite paper 5. The V-shaped pressing-down folding block 234 can better fit the composite paper, and the V-shaped pressing-down folding block 234 is rotatably connected with the vertical rod 233, so that the composite paper 5 moves more smoothly. Since the V-shaped pressing-down folding block 234 is V-shaped, it can inhibit the sliding phenomenon of the composite paper during movement, reduce the friction, and reduce the possibility of tearing the composite paper by the V-shaped pressing-down folding block 234.

[0033] A flattening component 6 is arranged between the heating unit 1 and the folding unit 2, as shown in Figure 4 , the flattening component 6 comprises two flattening support rods 61 and two flattening rollers 62 connected between the two flattening support rods 61, and a flattening gap for the composite paper 5 to pass through is formed between the two flattening rollers 62. In this way, the composite paper 5 is passed through the flattening component 6 before being folded by the folding unit 2 to prevent the composite paper 5 from being folded at positions other than the middle position of the paper, so that the subsequent creased pores are more regular.

[0034] The vertical extrusion component 25 comprises two vertical extrusion rollers 251 which are installed on the driven bottom plate 9 in a staggered manner, and the V-shaped composite film paper 5 passes through the gap between the two vertical extrusion rollers 251.

[0035] The vertical extrusion component 25 can also adopt a double support seat 252 which is installed on the driven bottom plate 9 in a side inclined manner, and the two vertical extrusion rollers 251 are rotatably connected to the double support seat 252, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0036] The vertical extrusion component 25 can also adopt a fifth support rod 253 which is detachably connected to the driven bottom plate 9, and the vertical extrusion roller 251 is rotatably installed on the fifth support rod 253, and a plurality of vertical extrusion components 25 are installed on the driven bottom plate 9 in a staggered manner, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0037] In this way, the vertical extrusion component 25 can be adjusted and installed on the driven bottom plate 9 according to specific conditions. The left-right symmetrical folded composite film paper is adhered together on both sides after passing through the gap between the two vertical extrusion rollers 251, realizing the first folding.

[0038] The second folding module 22 comprises a third support rod 261 and a side pressing folding block 262 which is installed on the inner side of the third support rod 261 in a transverse manner, and the side pressing folding block 262 is used to press the middle part of the composite film paper 5 in a vertical state, and the composite film paper 5 is pressed into a horizontal V-shaped type. In a specific implementation, the third support rod 261 is detachably installed on the driven bottom plate 9, the side pressing folding block 262 is installed on the third support rod 261 and can be adjusted in height on the third support rod 261, and the side pressing folding block 262 is rotatably connected to the third support rod 261. The side pressing folding block 262 is a V-shaped pressing wheel. In this way, the specific position of the side pressing folding block 262 can be adjusted according to the specific conditions on the production line. At the same time, the composite film paper 5 which has completed the first folding is pressed into a horizontal V-shaped type after passing through the side pressing folding block 262, realizing the second folding and shaping. The V-shaped side pressing folding block 262 better adheres to the composite film paper 5, and the side pressing folding block 262 is rotatably connected to the third support rod 261 and the composite film paper 5, so that the composite film paper 5 moves more smoothly. Since the pressing wheel is V-shaped, the sliding phenomenon of the composite film paper during movement can be inhibited, the friction is reduced, and the possibility of tearing the composite film paper 5 by the side pressing folding block 262 is reduced.

[0039] The horizontal extrusion component 27 comprises a fourth support rod 271 and two horizontal extrusion rollers 272 which are installed on the fourth support rod 271, and the folded composite film paper 5 passes through the gap between the two horizontal extrusion rollers 272. In this way, the horizontal V-shaped composite film paper 5 is folded on both sides after passing through the gap between the two horizontal extrusion rollers 272, realizing the second folding.

[0040] As Figure 8 shown, the guide limiting component 24 is arranged behind the pressing component 23, and the guide limiting component 24 includes two second supporting rods 241 arranged on both sides of the composite film paper 5 respectively, and the second supporting rods 241 are provided with limiting blocks 242, and the limiting blocks 242 are provided with guide grooves 243 for the side edges of the composite film paper 5 to pass through, the guide grooves 243 are inclined inward, and the two guide grooves 243 form a V shape. In the specific implementation, the second supporting rods 241 are detachably installed on both sides of the driven bottom plate 9. The limiting blocks 242 are installed on the second supporting rods 241 and can be adjusted in height, and the limiting blocks 242 can rotate up and down relative to the second supporting rods 241. In this way, the two sides of the composite film paper 5 pressed by the pressing component 23 into a V shape pass through the guide grooves 243 respectively, so that the two sides of the composite film paper 5 advance along the guide grooves 243, and the guide grooves 243 are symmetrically arranged to make the V-shaped composite film paper symmetrically left and right, thereby achieving the effect of guiding and limiting the composite film paper 5. The fixed bottom plate 8 is fixedly installed at the top end of the box body 7, and the driven bottom plate 9 is detachably installed on the fixed bottom plate 8.

[0041] As Figure 5 shown, the heating unit 1 includes a lower heating plate 11 and an upper heating plate 12, and the upper heating plate 12 and the lower heating plate 11 have a heating gap 13 for the composite film paper 5 to pass through. In this way, the composite film paper passing through the heating gap 13 will be heated on both sides by the lower heating plate 11 and the upper heating plate 12, so that the composite film paper with high hardness becomes soft and is easier to fold.

[0042] The heating unit 1 further comprises a linear drive module 14, which drives the upper heating plate 12 or the lower heating plate 11 to move up and down so as to control the size of the heating gap 13. In a specific implementation, the linear drive module 14 can be a linear drive device such as a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder or a linear motor. The following manner is adopted to drive the upper heating plate 12 or the lower heating plate 11 to move up and down: a second support is detachably installed on the fixed base plate 8, the second support is used to fixedly install the upper heating plate 12 on the upper end of the fixed base plate 8, the lower heating plate 11 is arranged on the fixed base plate 8 and corresponds to the upper heating plate 12, the second support comprises a first support plate 81 fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 8, a second support plate 82 vertically connected to the first support plate 81, one end of a third support plate 83 horizontally connected to the top end of the second support plate 82, and an upper heating fixing plate 15 detachably connected below the other end of the third support plate 83, the upper heating fixing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the upper heating plate 12 through a plurality of isolation pads 16. A fourth support plate 84 vertically arranged is fixedly connected to the side edge of the first support plate 81, a fifth support plate 85 horizontally arranged is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fourth support plate 84, and the linear drive module 14 is embedded on the fifth support plate 85, the output end of the linear drive module 14 is connected to a lower heating fixing plate 17, and the lower heating fixing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the lower heating plate 11 through a plurality of isolation pads 16. A slide rail 841 is arranged on the side edge of the fourth support plate 84, a sliding block 171 is slidingly connected to the slide rail 841, and the sliding block 171 is fixedly connected to the bottom side edge of the lower heating fixing plate 17. In this way, the upper heating fixing plate 15 is suspended above the fixed base plate 8 through the third support plate 83, the second support plate 82 and the first support plate 81. The isolation pads 16 also insulate the heat of the upper heating plate 12, so that the heat cannot be transmitted to the upper heating fixing plate 15 to scald the workers. The linear drive module 14 is suspended below the fixed base plate 8 through the fifth support plate 85, the fourth support plate 84 and the first support plate 81. The output end of the linear drive module 14 drives the lower heating fixing plate 17 to move up and down, and the lower heating fixing plate 17 drives the lower heating plate 11 to move up and down, so that the position of the lower heating plate 11 can be adjusted by the linear drive module 14 according to different situations, and the composite film paper can be better heated. In addition to being driven by the output end of the linear drive module 14 to move up and down, the lower heating fixing plate 17 also moves up and down along with the sliding block 171 along the slide rail 841, which can limit the sliding track and make the up and down movement more stable.

[0043] As Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the converging unit 3 includes a tapered passage 31 for converging the composite film paper 5, and a heating block 32 for heating the tapered passage 31. In a specific implementation, a heating pad 34 is mounted on the fixed base plate 8, the heating block 32 is mounted on the heating pad 34, and a heat insulation block 33 is arranged between the heating pad 34 and the heating block 32. In this way, the heating block 32 heats the tapered passage 31, and the tapered passage 31 further heats the composite film paper 5 inside to soften the composite film paper 5 and make it easier to converge. The heat insulation block 33 blocks the heating block 32 and other components such as the heating pad 34, so that heat is not transferred to components other than the tapered passage 31. On the one hand, this can reduce energy consumption, and on the other hand, it can also avoid burns to the staff.

[0044] The shaping unit 4 is arranged at the outlet side of the converging unit 3, and includes two upper and lower compression wheels 41, the outer edges of the two compression wheels 41 have inwardly recessed compression grooves 411, and further includes a pushing mechanism 42 capable of pushing the two compression wheels 41 closer to or away from each other. The composite film paper 5 after being converged by the converging unit 3 passes through the middle of the compression grooves 411 of the two upper and lower compression wheels 41, and is extruded and shaped by the compression grooves 411 of the two upper and lower compression wheels 41. In this way, the composite film paper 5 is first converged into a cylindrical shape by the tapered passage 31, and then is compressed and rounded by the two upper and lower compression wheels 41 of the shaping unit 4. The heating block 32 of the converging unit 3 heats the tapered passage 31, and the tapered passage 31 further heats the composite film paper 5 inside, so that the heated composite film paper 5 is softened and becomes easier to converge and shape. Thus, the appearance of the low-temperature non-combustible cigarette cooling section is more rounded, and the overall quality of the cigarette is improved.

[0045] The pushing mechanism 42 includes two connecting blocks 421 for driving the compression wheels 41 closer to or away from each other, and a positive and negative screw rod 422 for pushing the two connecting blocks 421 closer to or away from each other. The positive and negative screw rod 422 has a handle 423 at the top end, and is arranged in screwing cooperation with the two connecting blocks 421, wherein the screw threads on the positive and negative screw rod 422 that are in screwing cooperation with the two connecting blocks 421 have opposite directions. The connecting blocks 421 are arranged in upper and lower sleeves in a support frame 86, and one side of the support frame 86 is connected to the heating pad 34. By rotating the handle 423 on the positive and negative screw rod, the two connecting blocks 421 can be pushed closer to or away from each other, and the corresponding compression wheels 41 can be driven closer to or away from each other. The compression wheels 41 closer to or away from each other can adjust the compression force on the composite film paper 5 after being converged by the tapered passage 31 and the diameter of the composite film paper 5, so that the distance between the two connecting blocks 421 can be adjusted to the best state according to the different specifications of the composite film paper 5 on the production line.

[0046] The shaping unit 4 further comprises a power component 43 for rotating the pressure wheels 41, the power component 43 comprising a motor 431 and a transmission rotating shaft 432 rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting block 421, the upper and lower pressure wheels 41 being connected to one end of the corresponding transmission rotating shaft 432, and the other end of the transmission rotating shaft 432 being connected with a transmission wheel 433, the motor 431 being sleeved on the transmission wheel 433 through a transmission belt or a transmission chain 434 to rotate the transmission wheel 433.
