DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 The assembly schematic diagram of the dehumidifying and dust removing device and the smoke gun provided by the embodiments of the present application; Figure 2 The structural schematic diagram of the dehumidifying and dust removing device provided by the embodiments of the present application; Figure 3 The structural schematic diagram of the air knife in the first direction provided by the embodiments of the present application; Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the air knife in the second direction provided by the embodiments of the present application; Figure 5 The structural schematic diagram of the air supply equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a dehumidifying and dust removing device, which comprises two groups of cleaning components and two air guide plates 3, wherein any one group of cleaning components comprises a water blocking part 1 capable of absorbing water and an air knife 2 capable of spraying compressed gas.

[0035] The dehumidifying and dust removing device can be applied to a filter rod forming machine with a smoke gun 01 and a cooling strip.

[0036] When the dehumidifying and dedusting device is applied to the filter rod making machine, the cleaning components are installed in the smoke gun 01, and the air deflectors 3 are installed between the smoke gun 01 and the cooling strip. For example, two groups of cleaning components are used to fill in the two grooves 011 of the smoke gun 01 respectively, and are used to be arranged on both sides of the cooling strip, and at the same time, two air deflectors 3 are used to be arranged in the slots of the two grooves 011, and any air deflector 3 blocks the local slot of the corresponding groove 011 and exposes the other slots of the groove 011, which makes the unblocked part of the slot of the groove 011 form a narrow opening 4 for the compressed gas to flow to the cooling strip. Of course, the narrow opening 4 can also be regarded as the gap between the air deflector 3 and the slot of the groove 011.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cleaning components are installed in the smoke gun 01, so that the water blocking member 1 arranged in the groove 011 of the smoke gun 01 can absorb the water inside the smoke gun 01, and the air knife 2 arranged in the groove 011 of the smoke gun 01 can spray the compressed gas from the narrow opening 4 to the cooling strip outside the groove 011, so as to realize the use of the compressed gas to take away the condensed water on the surface of the cooling strip and the paper dust on the surfaces of the smoke gun 01 and the cooling strip.

[0038] The water blocking member 1 of the dehumidifying and dedusting device can be specifically provided as a water-absorbing sponge strip, which is used to absorb a small amount of condensed water generated inside the smoke gun 01 and prevent the condensed water from falling. Generally, the smoke gun 01 of a common filter rod making machine is provided with a water blocking member 1, and compared with the prior art, the air knife 2 is used to replace part of the water blocking member, and the air knife 2 and the reduced volume water blocking member 1 are jointly installed in the groove 011, which better meets the requirements of dehumidifying and dedusting operation inside and outside the smoke gun 01.

[0039] The filter rod making machine is used for processing filter rods, and the dehumidifying and dedusting device can blow the condensed water and paper powder to a position away from the smoke gun 01 and the cooling strip, so as to avoid the accumulation of the condensed water and the paper powder on the smoke gun 01 and the cooling strip, reduce the phenomenon of excessive circumference of the filter rod, reduce the phenomenon of weight and circumference fluctuation of the filter rod, and improve the qualified rate of the filter rod.

[0040] In summary, the dehumidifying and dedusting device provided by the application can dehumidify the inside of the cigarette gun 01 and dehumidify and dedust the surface of the cigarette gun 01 and the cooling strip, solve the problem that the condensate water and paper powder accumulated on the cigarette gun 01 and the cooling strip affect the quality of the filter rod, and improve the production quality of the filter rod. The dehumidifying and dedusting device provided by the application dehumidifies and dedusts based on the water blocking part 1 and the air knife 2, and the water blocking part 1 and the air knife 2 are arranged in the groove 011 of the cigarette gun 01, which not only can play a targeted role, but also can reasonably utilize the limited space between the cigarette gun 01 and the cooling strip. In addition, the dehumidifying and dedusting device uses the air deflector 3 to cooperate with the groove 011 of the cigarette gun 01 to position and install the water blocking part 1 and the air knife 2, which can not only improve the installation strength of the water blocking part 1 and the air knife 2 in the cigarette gun 01, but also can constrain the blowing path of the air knife 2 to the cooling strip and prevent the condensate water and paper powder from entering the groove 011 of the cigarette gun 01, thereby ensuring the dehumidifying and dedusting effect.

[0041] The dehumidifying and dedusting device provided by the application will be further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0042] In some embodiments, the dehumidifying and dedusting device provided by the application can be used in combination with the filter rod making machine. Figures 1 to 4 The air knife 2 can include an air guide pipe 21 and an air outlet 22 arranged on the air guide pipe 21; the two air knives 2 of the dehumidifying and dedusting device are arranged in the two grooves 011 of the cigarette gun 01 respectively, any air knife 2 is positioned and constrained by the corresponding groove 011 and the air deflector 3 arranged on the slot of the corresponding groove 011, and the air outlet 22 of any air knife 2 is aligned with the narrow opening 4 on the same side and inclined towards the other air guide pipe 21, in other words, the air outlets 22 of the two air knives 2 are aligned with the narrow openings 4 at the grooves 011 where they are respectively located and blow air towards each other.

[0043] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the cooling strip is located outside the cigarette gun 01 and between the two air knives 2, and the two air knives 2 blowing air towards each other can blow air to the cooling strip located between the two air knives 2, thereby realizing blowing air to two pairs of side surfaces of the cooling strip respectively.

[0044] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the air outlet 22 of any air knife 2 is aligned with the narrow opening 4 on the same side and inclined towards the other air guide pipe 21, so that the air outlet 22 of the air knife 2 arranged in the groove 011 is inclined outward, which can not only blow the cooling strip to carry away the condensate water and paper ash on the surface of the cigarette gun 01 and the cooling strip, but also can divert the aforementioned condensate water and paper ash away from the cigarette gun 01 and the cooling strip.

[0045] In some embodiments, the two air knives 2 can be connected to the same air supply device, and the air supply device has a switching circuit for linkage with the filter rod making machine, in other words, the dehumidifying and dedusting device provided by the application can be started and stopped simultaneously with the filter rod making machine, which is convenient for the operator to use. In addition, the dehumidifying and dedusting device only works when the filter rod making machine is started, which can save energy and reduce consumption.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, you can refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The gas supply equipment may include a gas source, an oil-water separator 5, a first pressure regulator 6, a filter 7, a second pressure regulator 8, a control valve 9, and a pressure monitor 10 connected in sequence. The pressure monitor 10 is connected to the air duct 21. The gas source supplies compressed gas to the two air knives 2 through the oil-water separator 5, the first pressure regulator 6, the filter 7, the second pressure regulator 8, the control valve 9, and the pressure monitor 10 in sequence. The pressure regulation accuracy of the second pressure regulator 8 is greater than that of the first pressure regulator 6. For example, the first pressure regulator 6 can be a common pressure regulator, while the second pressure regulator 8 can be a precision pressure regulator.

[0047] The aforementioned gas supply equipment is supplied with compressed gas by a gas source. The oil-water separator 5, filter 7, precision pressure regulator, and pressure monitor 10 can respectively perform oil-water separation, coarse pressure adjustment, filtration, fine pressure adjustment, and pressure monitoring on the compressed gas supplied by the gas source. The control valve 9 is coupled to the switching circuit of the gas supply equipment. When the filter rod forming machine is started, the control valve 9 opens, and the gas supply equipment of the dehumidification and dust removal device begins to supply clean, pressure-stable compressed gas to the air knife 2.

[0048] For reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the dehumidification and dust removal device provided in this application further includes a pipe positioning block 110; the pipe positioning block 110 is fixedly connected to the smoke gun 01 and is used to clamp and position the air guide pipes 21 of the two air knives 2. For example, the same end of the two air guide pipes 21 is clamped in the pipe positioning block 110, so that the smoke gun 01 is fixedly connected through the pipe positioning block 110. This reduces the difficulty of installing and disassembling the air knives 2 in the groove 011 of the smoke gun 01, and also reduces the design and processing difficulty of the air knives 2. A quick-connect air pipe connector 120 can be provided at the inlet of any one of the air guide pipes 21 for easy connection to an air source.

[0049] In addition, you can refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the air guide plate 3 blocks more than half of the corresponding groove 011 along the width direction of the groove 011, which can effectively limit the flow direction of the compressed gas sprayed from the air knife 2 to the cooling strip. At the same time, the diameter of the air guide pipe 21 is larger than the width of the narrow opening 4, ensuring that the air guide pipe 21 will not detach from the smoke gun 01 from the narrow opening 4.

[0050] In the dehumidification and dust removal device provided in this application, at least a portion of the wall of the water-blocking component 1 and the air duct 21 of the same cleaning component can be assembled into a shielding portion for isolating the corresponding groove 011. The air outlet 22 and the narrow opening 4 are located on the same side of the shielding portion. The shielding portion can isolate the groove 011, dividing the groove 011 into two parts. For example, see reference... Figure 1 andFigure 3 The shielding part divides the groove 011 of the smoke gun 01 into two parts, the water blocking part 1 is filled in the upper half of the groove 011, and the air outlet 22 is located in the lower half of the groove 011. The air outlet 22 and the narrow opening 4 are both located on the lower side of the shielding part. This can not only prevent water in the smoke gun 01 from dripping out of the narrow opening 4, but also prevent the condensed water and impurities removed from the surface of the smoke gun 01 and the cooling strip from accidentally entering the groove 011.

[0051] The application also provides a filter rod forming equipment, which comprises the smoke gun 01 and the cooling strip, and also comprises the dehumidifying and dedusting device provided in the above embodiments. In the filter rod forming equipment, the cooling strip is installed on the surface of the smoke gun 01, and the smoke gun 01 is provided with two grooves 011 extending in the same direction, and the groove openings of the two grooves 011 are located on the same side of the smoke gun 01. For example, the groove openings of the two grooves 011 are located on the lower surface of the smoke gun 01 as shown in Figure 1 , and the cooling strip is installed on the lower surface of the smoke gun 01 as shown in Figure 1 , and the cooling strip is located between the two grooves 011.

[0052] On the basis of the above embodiments, the smoke gun 01 is further provided with a partition plate 012, the partition plate 012 is defined by the two grooves 011, in other words, the partition plate 012 is located between the two grooves 011 and protrudes outward. For reference, Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the groove openings of the two grooves 011 are located on the first surface of the smoke gun 01, the partition plate 012 comprises a partition plate 012 outer end part protruding towards the first surface, and the cooling strip is installed on the partition plate 012 outer end part.

[0053] For reference, Figure 1 , in the above embodiment, the partition plate 012 outer end part can comprise a top surface 0121 and two inclined surfaces 0122, the cooling strip is installed on the top surface 0121 of the partition plate 012 outer end part, and the two inclined surfaces 0122 of the partition plate 012 outer end part are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the top surface 0121, and any one inclined surface 0122 extends in the same direction as the air outlet 22 on the same side, which can guide the compressed gas to flow obliquely to the cooling strip.

[0054] To sum up, the dehumidifying and dedusting device provided by the application has small structural changes to the conventional filter rod forming machine, can better play the effect of removing water and dust, avoid the accumulation of condensed water and paper powder on the smoke gun 01 and the cooling strip to affect the production quality of the filter rod, reduce the problems of excessive filter rod weight, filter rod circumference and poor roundness, and improve the qualified rate of filter rod products.

[0055] The filter rod forming equipment and the dehumidifying and dedusting device provided by the application are described in detail above. The principles and implementation manners of the application are described by using specific examples in this paper, and the above description of the examples is only used to help understand the method of the application and its core idea. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and modifications can be made to the application without departing from the principles of the application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the application.
