The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the present application.

[0020] Embodiment 1 of the present application: as shown in Figures 1-4 A self-cleaning quick release cigarette poking wheel, comprising a cigarette poking wheel 3 and a bracket 5, one end of the bracket 5 is provided with a quick release plate 4, the other end of the bracket 5 is fixedly connected with an end cover 1, the cigarette poking wheel 3 is installed on a transmission shaft 2, one end of the transmission shaft 2 is rotatably connected with the quick release plate 4, the other end of the transmission shaft 2 is rotatably connected with the end cover 1, the end cover 1 is provided with an air control ring 12, the air control ring 12 is provided with a suction structure and a blowing structure, and the cigarette poking wheel 3 is provided with a ventilation structure.

[0021] Through the setting of the quick release plate 4, the cigarette poking wheel 3 can be quickly replaced, thereby improving the replacement efficiency and shortening the downtime. By setting the air control ring 12 and the ventilation structure on the cigarette poking wheel 3, the dust can be sucked away through the suction structure, and the dust can be blown away from the cigarette poking wheel 3 through the blowing structure, thereby realizing the self-cleaning of the cigarette poking wheel 3, prolonging the cleaning cycle, and improving the production efficiency.

[0022] In a specific embodiment, the end face of the end of the bracket 5 away from the end cover 1 is provided with two positioning pins 51 and a plurality of threaded holes 52, in this embodiment, the two positioning pins 51 are arranged at the same height, the number of the threaded holes 52 is three, arranged in a triangle, and the quick release plate 4 is provided with two positioning holes 42 matched with the positioning pins 51 and three fixing holes 43 corresponding to the threaded holes 52.

[0023] The fixing holes 43 are through holes, and when the quick release plate 4 is disassembled, only the bolts in the three fixing holes 43 need to be disassembled; when the quick release plate 4 is installed, the two positioning holes 42 are first butted with the two positioning pins 51, at this time, the three fixing holes 43 are aligned with the three threaded holes 52, and then the three bolts are sequentially installed.

[0024] In order to improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the cigarette poking wheel 3, the transmission shaft 2 is preferably designed as a split structure, the middle part of the transmission shaft 2 has a breakpoint 21, the transmission shaft 2 is composed of a first shaft body and a second shaft body, the first shaft body and the second shaft body are connected by clamping, when the quick release plate 4 is disassembled, the second shaft body can be easily separated from the first shaft body due to the clamping connection between the first shaft body and the second shaft body, so that the second shaft body is disassembled together with the quick release plate 4, and then the cigarette poking wheel 3 is removed from the first shaft body. A key groove is formed on the second shaft body, a key 22 is installed in the key groove, and a key groove hole 32 is processed on the cigarette poking wheel 3 in the axial direction. Through the cooperation of the key 22 and the key groove hole 32, the cigarette poking wheel 3 is realized to rotate synchronously with the transmission shaft 2.

[0025] In order to ensure the smoothness of the rotation of the transmission shaft 2, a first bearing 13 is preferably installed on the inner ring of the air control ring 12, a rotating shaft mounting hole is formed on the quick release plate 4, and a second bearing 41 is arranged in the rotating shaft mounting hole. One end of the second shaft body is in interference fit with the inner ring of the second bearing 41, the other end of the second shaft body is in clamping fit with one end of the first shaft body, the other end of the first shaft body penetrates through the first bearing 13, and the outer wall of the first shaft body is also in interference fit with the inner ring of the first bearing 13. It should be noted that different specifications of the cigarette poking wheel 3 do not need to replace the transmission shaft 2, and the difference between different specifications of the cigarette poking wheel 3 lies in the different outer diameters.

[0026] Further, the air suction structure includes a first circular arc groove 121 and a suction pipe 15, the suction pipe 15 is arranged on the surface of the air control ring 12 facing the end cover 1, the first circular arc groove 121 is formed on the surface of the air control ring 12 facing the cigarette poking wheel 3, and the suction pipe 15 is in communication with the first circular arc groove 121; the air blowing structure includes a second circular arc groove 122 and a blowing pipe 14, the blowing pipe 14 is arranged on the surface of the air control ring 12 facing the end cover 1, the second circular arc groove 122 is formed on the surface of the air control ring 12 facing the cigarette poking wheel 3, and the blowing pipe 14 is in communication with the second circular arc groove 122.

[0027] The end cover 1 has two through holes for avoiding the suction pipe 15 and the blowing pipe 14, since the air control ring 12 has a small axial displacement relative to the end cover 1, the diameter of the through hole on the end cover 1 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the suction pipe 15 and the blowing pipe 14, and the inner diameter of the end cover 1 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the air control ring 12. The suction pipe 15 is connected with the negative pressure fan through an air pipe, and the blowing pipe 14 is connected with the air compressor or air source through an air pipe.

[0028] Furthermore, the ventilation structure includes ventilation holes 31 and internal holes 33. The ventilation holes 31 are arranged radially along the smoke deflector 3, and the internal holes 33 are arranged axially along the smoke deflector 3. Each internal hole 33 has multiple ventilation holes 31 communicating with it. The internal holes 33 are blind holes, and the open end of the internal holes 33 is connected to the air control ring 12.

[0029] There are multiple internal holes 33. The distance from the axis of all internal holes 33 to the axis of the smoke-dispensing wheel 3 is equal. The distance between any two adjacent internal holes 33 is equal. The number of ventilation holes 31 connected to each internal hole 33 can be set according to actual needs. The ventilation holes 31 are preferably set on the middle section of the smoke-dispensing wheel 3, and the distance between any two adjacent ventilation holes 31 is equal.

[0030] Since the smoke-dispensing wheel 3 and the air control ring 12 are slidably connected, and the air control ring 12 needs to blow and draw air into the internal hole 33, in order to minimize air leakage at the connection point between the air control ring 12 and the smoke-dispensing wheel 3, it is preferable to install multiple springs 11 inside the end cap 1, with the other end of each spring 11 abutting against the air control ring 12. Under the action of the springs 11, the air control ring 12 can make tight contact with the end face of the smoke-dispensing wheel 3, reducing air leakage.

[0031] Embodiment 2 of the present invention: as follows Figures 1-4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, in order to further ensure the cleanliness of the surface of the cigarette-pushing wheel 3, a suction pipe 54 is provided at one end of the bracket 5, and a suction area 53 is provided in the middle of the bracket 5, which is directly opposite the cigarette-pushing wheel 3. The suction pipe 54 is connected to a negative pressure fan through an air pipe, so that the suction area 53 continuously generates negative pressure, which can further suck away the dust on the surface of the cigarette-pushing wheel 3.

[0032] The working principle of this invention: The existing technology of using a cigarette-pulling wheel 3 and a punching wheel to punch holes in cigarettes will not be elaborated upon in this invention. After the cigarette is punched, smoke and dust will be generated. The end of the drive shaft 2 is connected to a drive device, which rotates the drive shaft 2. Simultaneously, with the cooperation of the key 22 and the keyway hole 32, the cigarette-pulling wheel 3 rotates synchronously with the drive shaft 2. When the cigarette-pulling wheel 3 rotates, the opening end of the internal hole 33 moves to the first arc groove 121... When the smoke wheel 3 is in position, under the action of the negative pressure fan, the internal hole 33 and the ventilation hole 31 connected to it draw in air, sucking away the dust on the surface of the smoke wheel 3; when the internal hole 33 is connected to the second arc groove 122, under the action of the air compressor or air source, high-pressure gas passes through the internal hole 33 and is ejected through the ventilation hole 31, blowing away the dust on the surface of the smoke wheel 3. At this time, it is located in the suction area 53, and the negative pressure in the suction area 53 is also conducive to the suction of dust, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the surface of the smoke wheel 3.

[0033] The above detailed description of the structure, features and effects of the present application is based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above description is only the preferred embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings. Any changes or modifications made in accordance with the concept of the present application, or equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, are still within the scope of the present application.
