[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 In specific embodiments, the present application provides a cigar spinning and rolling equipment, comprising: a rack 1, a servo motor 2, a linear module 3, a spinning assembly 4;

[0044] As Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the rack 1 is welded by a frame type steel structure, and a space for placing the servo motor 2 is welded at the center of the rack 1, and the servo motor 2 is arranged at the center of the rack by bolt fastening, so that the layout is compact, and the high strength and installation precision are ensured.

[0045] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 The linear module 3 is arranged on the top of the rack 1, and the rotary pressing assembly 4 is arranged above the linear module 3. Under the driving action of the servo motor 2, the linear module 3 drives the rotary pressing assembly 4 to move forward and backward, so as to ensure effective rotary pressing of the head of the cigar.

[0046] The rotary pressing assembly 4 is rotated by the step motor 43 to press the head of the cigar. The speed of the step motor 43 is controlled to realize accurate control of the rotary speed, so as to solve the technical problem that the rotary speed of the traditional rotary pressing mechanism cannot be effectively adjusted because the rotary shaft is driven by a negative pressure fan.

[0047] Meanwhile, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The rack 1 is also provided with a pneumatic pipeline 6, and the rotary pressing assembly 4 is provided with a connecting hole connected with the pneumatic pipeline 6. The pneumatic pipeline 6 blows air to the rotary pressing assembly 4 to effectively throw away the excess waste tobacco of the rotary pressing assembly 4, so as to realize self-cleaning function, greatly reduce the labor intensity of the operator, and improve the work efficiency.

[0048] Preferably, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 In this embodiment, the rotary pressing assembly 4 specifically comprises a rotary pressing head 41, a rotary pressing shaft 42, a rotary pressing support 44, and a step motor 43.

[0049] One end of the rotary pressing shaft 42 is connected with the rotary pressing head 41, and the other end is connected with the output end of the step motor 43. The step motor 43 is used to accurately drive the rotary pressing head 41 to rotate at high speed.

[0050] Meanwhile, the rotary pressing shaft 42 is also sleeved with the rotary pressing support 44, which is connected with one end of the step motor output side and is fastened on the rack 1 by bolt connection, so as to protect the rotary pressing shaft 42 from pollution and damage caused by the external environment, and also improve the overall appearance of the equipment.

[0051] For the connection of the spinning shaft 42 and the pneumatic pipeline 6, the spinning shaft 2 adopts a hollow shaft design with one end closed, specifically, the connection end with the stepping motor 43 is closed, and the end with the spinning head 41 is open, so that the pneumatic pipeline 6 is in communication with the spinning shaft 2 and the spinning head 41. Its function is to arrange the positive pressure blowing through the hollow shaft of the spinning shaft 2.

[0052] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The spinning support 44 is sleeved on the spinning shaft 42, and the inner surface of the spinning support 43 forms a cavity structure with the outer surface of the spinning shaft 42. Meanwhile, at the connection between the spinning assembly 4 and the pneumatic pipeline 6, a spacer sleeve 45 is also sleeved on the spinning shaft 42. The spacer sleeve 45 is used for sealing isolation to avoid the leakage of the airflow provided by the pneumatic pipeline 6 to other parts of the spinning assembly 4.

[0053] Further, bearings 46 are also arranged on both sides of the spacer sleeve 45. The bearings 46 are sleeved on the spinning shaft 42 and connected with the inner surface of the spinning support 44. The spinning shaft 42 supports the spinning support 44 through the bearings 46. The sealing spacer sleeve tightly presses the end faces of the bearings to further realize the sealing of the spinning assembly 4 and the pneumatic pipeline 6.

[0054] Further, the spinning shaft 42 is connected with the output end of the stepping motor 43 through a rigid coupling 47. The rigid coupling 47 makes the spinning shaft 42 and the stepping motor 43 always rotate synchronously, has torsional rigidity, and has the advantages of maintenance-free, super oil resistance and corrosion resistance in actual application.

[0055] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 In this embodiment, the linear module 3 includes a nylon bearing 31, a high helical screw rod 32, a connecting plate 33, a screw rod guide rail 34, and a support 35.

[0056] The specific connection relationship of the linear module 3 is that the nylon bearing 31 is clamped on the screw rod guide rail 34 through the sliding groove on the connecting plate 33. The sliding groove is a V-shaped groove. The high helical screw rod 32 is arranged between the screw rod guide rails 34, and the two ends of the high helical screw rod 32 are connected with the support 35. The screw rod guide rail 34 is fastened and linked on the support 35 through bolts. The connecting plate 33 is used to connect the spinning assembly 4 to drive the spinning assembly 4 to move forward and backward. Since the nylon bearing 31 is made of non-metallic material, it has the advantages of low working noise and no need for lubrication, realizing a pollution-free operating environment without maintenance.

[0057] Further, as shown in Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the rack is also provided with a transmission gear 5, which is used to connect the servo motor 2 and the linear module 3. Through the transmission gear 5, the driving force provided by the servo motor 2 is transmitted to the linear module 3, specifically to drive the high helical screw rod 32 to move the connecting plate 33 back and forth, thereby realizing the forward and backward movement of the spinning assembly 4.

[0058] Preferably, as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the inside of the spinning head 41 is designed as a curved surface, and a plurality of communication grooves are formed on the outer surface, and four left-handed waist circular grooves are formed around the outer surface. The inner conical surface serves to ensure the shaping of the head of the cigarette. The spinning head 41 can effectively spin out the excess waste smoke through the left-handed waist circular grooves under the blowing action of the pneumatic pipeline 6, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0059] Preferably, in this embodiment, a control system is further included, which controls the motion state of the linear module 3 through the servo motor 2, and controls the working timing of the pneumatic pipeline 6 through the electromagnetic valve.

[0060] Meanwhile, in this technical solution, a method for using the cigar spinning and rolling equipment is also provided, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0061] a) The servo motor 2 drives the linear module 3 to move the spinning assembly 4 forward to contact the component to be spun.

[0062] b) After the spinning assembly 4 contacts the head of the cigar, the stepping motor 43 drives the spinning assembly 4 to rotate and press the head of the cigar under the simultaneous forward and rotating action of the spinning assembly 4.

[0063] c) After the rotating and pressing is completed, the servo motor 2 drives the linear module 3 to move the spinning assembly 4 backward, and the pneumatic pipeline 6 blows out the residual tobacco powder after the rotating and pressing, thereby realizing self-cleaning.

[0064] d) Repeat the above steps a) to c) to realize the automatic process of rotating and pressing in the production of cigars.

[0065] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables a person skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
