[0002] In the cigarette production process, online testing of cigarettes produced online is necessary to ensure that the products have good consistency.

[0003] In the cigarette production process, cigarettes need to be transferred from the continuous production transport channel to the testing equipment.

This method occupies a large amount of workspace, leading to wasted production space, and because the testing time is too long relative to the production line speed, sampling is scattered. This results in cigarettes before and after testing often not belonging to the same batch, making it difficult to effectively test the material indicators of the same batch of tobacco leaves and other materials, and failing to ensure the consistency of the finished products within the same batch.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the term "multiple" in the present invention refers to two or more.

[0030] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "specific embodiment," "some embodiments," and "specific example" refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0031] The following is combined Figure 1 This invention describes an online cigarette sampling device adapted to be disposed on one side of a cigarette conveying channel and configured to sample and transport cigarettes from the cigarette conveying channel to a detection channel or a cigarette transport mechanism. It includes a transport component 20, a sampling component 10, a storage component 30, and an unloading component 40. The transport component 20 has a hopper 22 suitable for storing materials, and the hopper 22 is capable of moving along a first direction D. x The hopper 22 can operate in both the first and second positions; the sampling component 10 is located on the side closer to the first position, and the sampling component 10 can operate along the second direction D. zThe system reciprocates, and the sampling component 10 can grab materials into the conveying hopper 22; the storage component 30 is located below the conveying component 20 and between the first and second positions, and the storage component 30 has multiple storage hoppers 32, which can transfer materials from the conveying hopper 22 to the storage hoppers 32; the unloading component 40 cooperates with the storage hoppers 32 and is adapted to unload the materials from the storage hoppers 32 into a preset channel; wherein, the first direction D x With the second direction D z vertical.

[0032] The sampling component 10 is positioned on one side of the smoke conveying channel, with the sampling execution end of the sampling component 10 located above the smoke conveying channel. Thus, the sampling component 10 is positioned in the second direction D. z The reciprocating motion enables the transfer of cigarettes from the cigarette conveying channel to the conveying hopper 22. This method allows for rapid sampling of single or batch cigarettes from the same batch. After the cigarettes are loaded into the conveying hopper 22, they can move along the first direction D. x The material is transported from the conveying hopper 22 to the storage component 30 via a reciprocating motion. This reciprocating motion transfers the material from the conveying hopper 22 to the storage hopper 32 within the storage component 30. The storage component 30 has multiple storage hoppers 32, allowing for the separate storage of the material from the conveying hopper 22. The stored cigarettes are then conveyed to the testing equipment for inspection. Online storage of cigarettes enables the testing of cigarettes from the same batch or different batches, improving testing flexibility and ensuring the accuracy of test results.

[0033] In the above embodiments, the preset channel is a preset detection channel. That is, the present invention can place the detection device outside the cigarette conveying channel, so that the detection device will not occupy the space of the cigarette production equipment, saving the space of the production line. The sampled cigarettes are transported to the detection device by connecting the detection device to the detection channel for detection. The first position is the cigarette loading position of the hopper 22 in conjunction with the sampling component 10, and the second position is the empty position of the hopper 22 after the cigarettes have been transferred. Similarly, the cigarette conveying mechanism is also used to transport the stored cigarettes to the detection device.

[0034] Specifically, continue as Figure 1 As shown, in this invention, the first direction D x With the second direction D z Vertical, where the first direction D x The first direction is the planar direction, and the second direction is D. zThe sampling component 10 is positioned vertically above the cigarette conveying channel. The vertical movement of the sampling execution end on the sampling component 10 vertically moves the cigarettes in the conveying channel, lifting them into the conveying hopper 22. The conveying hopper 22 changes its planar position through planar movement. When the planar position changes, the cigarettes in the conveying hopper 22 are transported to the storage component 30. The conveying hopper 22 is in a first position when it is closer to the sampling component 10, and in a second position when it is closer to the storage component 30. The conveying hopper 22 can reciprocate between the first and second positions, and the cigarettes can be transferred to the storage hopper 32 during this process. The conveying hopper 22 continuously transports cigarettes online by reciprocating between the loaded and empty positions.

[0035] Understandably, the continuous transport of cigarettes through the sampling component 10 and the transport component 20 in the cigarette conveying channel can effectively achieve the sampling and extraction of the same batch of cigarettes. The storage component 30 enables online temporary storage of cigarettes sampled from the same batch or different batches. This allows for timely simultaneous testing when multiple sampling tests of the same batch are required, and enables rapid testing of different batches when testing is required, thus improving the flexibility of testing and ensuring multiple tests of the same batch.

[0036] In some embodiments, the storage assembly further includes a mounting plate 34, a transmission mechanism 31, and a transmission motor. The transmission mechanism 31 is mounted on the mounting plate 34, and the transmission motor is adapted to drive the transmission mechanism 31 to run in a preset direction. Multiple storage hoppers 32 are spaced apart on the transmission mechanism 31. The mounting plate 34 is also provided with a discharge baffle 33, which is located on the moving path of the conveying hopper 22. The discharge baffle 33 is matched with the bearing surface contour of the conveying hopper 22 so that the material in the conveying hopper 22 is transferred to the storage hopper 32 by the discharge baffle 33.

[0037] The unloading baffle 33 has an outer contour structure that cooperates with the conveying hopper 22. The conveying hopper 22 has a plate structure, which allows the unloading baffle 33 to block the cigarettes placed on the conveying hopper 22 during movement, so that the cigarettes can fall into the storage hopper 32 below, completing the transfer of cigarettes. In the above embodiment, the bearing surface refers to the surface that directly contacts the cigarettes. In a specific embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the bearing surface of the hopper 22 is a vertical surface with an arc-shaped profile.

[0038] It is understandable that the moving path of the conveying hopper 22 needs to pass above the storage hopper 32, and the transfer of cigarettes needs to be achieved in conjunction with the unloading baffle 33. Therefore, the unloading baffle 33 and the storage hopper 32 are in the first direction D.x The unloading baffle 33 has a gap that allows the body of the hopper 22 to pass through, thus facilitating the transfer of cigarettes as described above. This configuration eliminates the need for a separate cigarette transfer mechanism, simplifying the overall structure. Alternatively, a rigid material can be used for the unloading baffle 33. When using a rigid material, the size of the gap can be ensured by controlling its processing and installation precision. During installation, a larger allowance can be provided to guarantee the gap size. A flexible material can also be used. With a flexible material, the gap size requirements can be relaxed because the flexible material can undergo elastic deformation. This ensures that even if there is a slight deviation in the gap after installation, it will not affect the obstruction of cigarettes in the hopper 22. A combination of rigid and flexible materials is also possible. For example, the side of the unloading baffle 33 that connects to the mounting plate 34 can be made of a rigid material, while the side that mates with the hopper 22 can be made of a flexible material. This maintains the structural strength of the connection and reduces the requirements for installation precision, making production and assembly faster.

[0039] Specifically, the hopper 22 includes an arc-shaped plate with a circular arc cross-section. That is, when cigarettes are being loaded, the hopper 22 can prevent the cigarettes from rolling along the sides of the arc and falling out of the hopper 22. The structure of the arc-shaped plate facilitates the transfer of cigarettes in conjunction with the unloading baffle 33.

[0040] Furthermore, the structure of the storage hopper 32 is identical to that of the conveying hopper 22, both being arc-shaped plates with a circular arc structure. This identical structure allows for interchangeability between the two, giving the entire device better fault tolerance. If a problem occurs with the plate of the conveying hopper 22, maintenance can be achieved by replacing it with the storage hopper 32. It also facilitates assembly and reduces the types of materials required for assembly.

[0041] In a specific example, the transmission mechanism 31 includes a pulley 311 and a timing belt 312. The pulley 311 is mounted on the mounting plate 34, the timing belt 312 is mounted on the pulley 311, and the storage hopper 32 is mounted on the timing belt 312.

[0042] The synchronous belt 312 is a conventional transmission belt. The synchronous belt 312 is tensioned by two oppositely arranged pulleys 311, allowing it to rotate under the drive of the pulleys 311. Storage hoppers 32 are bolted to the same belt. The storage hoppers 32 reach their respective preset positions as the transmission belt rotates. At least one storage hopper 32 is always able to cooperate with the discharge baffle 33 to transfer material from the conveying hopper 22. The specific transfer process can be found in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0043] In some embodiments, the sampling assembly 10 includes a sampling motor 11, a guide rail 12, and a sampler 13, with the guide rail 12 along a second direction D. zFurthermore, the sampling motor 11 is adapted to drive the sampler 13 to reciprocate on the guide rail 12.

[0044] The sampler 13 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 12, so that the sampling motor 11 can drive the sampler 13 to move along the guide rail 12, thereby realizing the sampler 13 moving along the second direction D. z Reciprocating motion. Specifically, in the second direction D. z The guide rail 12 is set vertically, so that the sampler 13 can perform a reciprocating operation of lifting and lowering along the guide rail 12 in the vertical direction, so as to move the cigarettes in the cigarette conveying channel to the conveying hopper 22.

[0045] It is understandable that the entire sampling assembly is set on one side of the first position by a fixed bracket or fixed support platform (not shown in the figure), so that the sampling component 10 can extend into the cigarette conveying channel to grab the cigarette and ensure the stable assembly of the entire sampling component 10.

[0046] Specifically, the sampler 13 includes a jaw clamp and a third telescopic component. The jaw clamp is located on the output end of the third telescopic component, and the third telescopic component is adapted to drive the jaw clamp to clamp or release.

[0047] The third telescopic component can be a double-rod cylinder. The double-rod cylinder has two opposing output ends, each connected to a gripper. This allows the grippers to move closer or further apart under the action of the third telescopic component. When the grippers move away, they release the cigarette; conversely, when they move closer, they provide clamping force, allowing them to hold one or more cigarettes. This third telescopic component makes the gripper frame easier to control, enabling the grabbing and placement of cigarettes.

[0048] Furthermore, the transport component 20 includes a first telescopic component 21, and a hopper 22 is disposed on the output end of the first telescopic component 21.

[0049] The first telescopic component 21 is a cylinder with a long-stroke slide, such as a rodless cylinder. The first telescopic component 21 serves as a support for the conveying hopper 22. It can be supported and fixed by an external fixing frame (not shown in the figure). The conveying hopper 22 is connected to the output end of the first telescopic component 21 by bolts, and the free side of the conveying hopper 22 is arranged opposite to the free side of the storage hopper 32 to ensure that the conveying hopper 22 will not interfere with the storage hopper 32 during movement, which facilitates the transfer of cigarettes in the conveying hopper 22.

[0050] It is understandable that using the first telescopic component 21 for driving makes the material transport more stable, easier to obtain and control, and makes the preparation of the entire device simpler and lower in cost.

[0051] In some embodiments, the unloading assembly 40 includes a second telescopic member 42 and a pusher plate 41. The pusher plate 41 is disposed on the output end of the second telescopic member 42 and cooperates with the storage hopper 32 so that the pusher plate 41 can push the material in the storage hopper 32 into a preset channel. The selection of the second telescopic member 42 is not limited; for example, it can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric drive mechanism to realize the extension and retraction of its pusher plate 41.

[0052] The push plate 41 and the bearing surface contour of the storage hopper 32 are matched so that the push plate 41 can move along the extension direction of the storage hopper 32 under the drive of power, so as to push the cigarettes in the storage hopper 32 down and allow the cigarettes to enter the preset detection channel.

[0053] The cigarettes in the storage hopper 32 serve as an online temporary storage mechanism, and the stored cigarettes need to be continuously transported to the detection channel so that the cigarettes can be transported to the detection instrument through the detection channel. The contour of the push plate 41 allows the cigarettes in the storage hopper 32 to be pushed out quickly in one go, so as to achieve the quick push out of the cigarettes.

[0054] Specifically, as in the aforementioned embodiments, the storage hopper 32 and the conveying hopper 22 have the same structure, both being arc-shaped plates with a circular arc structure. This makes the outer contour of the pusher plate 41 largely consistent with the outer contour of the unloading baffle 33, allowing it to extend into the storage hopper 32 so that the cigarettes inside the storage hopper 32 are simultaneously pushed out into the detection channel. It is foreseeable that the unloading baffle 33, as mentioned above, can also be made of rigid material, flexible material, or composite material. When a rigid material is used, the processing and assembly precision of the pusher plate 41 are controlled to ensure that the rigid pusher plate 41 can push out the cigarettes in one go. When a flexible material is used, the requirements for the processing and assembly precision of the pusher plate 41 can be appropriately relaxed, and it can also achieve the goal of pushing out the cigarettes in the storage hopper 32 in one go. When a composite material is used, that is, the end connected to the second telescopic component 42 is a rigid material end, while the end in contact with the storage hopper 32 is a flexible material end. This maintains the structural strength of the connection and reduces the requirements for installation precision, making production and assembly faster.

[0055] The specific workflow will be described below based on the above embodiments.

[0056] (1) Initially, the sampler 13 is located at the top, the conveying hopper 22 is located in the first position, and all the storage hoppers 32 are empty.

[0057] (2) After startup, the sampler 13 descends to the cigarette conveying channel to grab one, several, or a batch of cigarettes, then rises to the top to wait. The conveying hopper 22 moves to the second position and stops directly below the sampler 13. The sampler 13 releases the grabbed cigarettes, causing them to fall into the conveying hopper 22. The conveying hopper 22 moves to the second position. When it passes the storage hopper 32, the cigarettes are blocked by the unloading baffle 33 and remain in the storage hopper 32. The storage hopper 32 moves down one position, and the other empty storage hopper 32 moves to the top. It then waits for the next cigarette grabbing, conveying, and storage cycle.

[0058] (3) When the detection channel is opened or the cigarette conveying mechanism arrives, the cigarettes in the lower storage hopper 32 are pushed into the cigarette conveying mechanism by the push plate 41 driven by the second telescopic component 42, so as to realize intelligent material picking.

[0059] Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that each embodiment can achieve single, multiple, or batch sampling, allowing the obtained cigarette samples to be from the same batch or different batches. Furthermore, it is equipped with a transmission component and a small temporary storage component 30, solving the problem of wasted production line space due to occupied space. Combined with a detection channel or cigarette conveying mechanism, it can achieve automatic cigarette detection. This device achieves automated sampling, reducing damage to cigarettes caused by manual handling; it replaces manual operation and reduces labor costs.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
