[0035] The core of the present invention is to provide a positioning structure to improve the qualified rate and quality stability of products;

[0036] Another core of the present invention is to provide a tobacco cutting system with the above positioning structure.

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a positioning structure, including a wire cutting tool part, a tool positioning unit and a grinding wheel grinding positioning unit. In the process of grinding the wire cutting tool, in order to reduce the problem of irregular blades such as rounded corners caused by grinding the wire cutting tool, the grinding wheel grinding positioning unit monitors the position of the grinding wheel in real time. If the grinding wheel does not reach the preset position during the grinding of the wire cutting tool, the grinding wheel grinding positioning unit will sound an alarm to prompt the staff to make timely adjustments, and then ensure the grinding positioning accuracy of the grinding wheel through the grinding wheel grinding positioning unit. At the same time, the lower knife door strip 200 in the tool positioning unit can be movably installed on the positioning part, and the position of the lower knife door strip 200 in the positioning part can be adjusted by the adjustment part. After the adjustment is completed, the lower knife door strip 200 on the positioning part can be limited and fixed by the locking part. The lower knife gate strip 200 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 210 spaced apart along its own extension direction. After the position adjustment of the lower knife gate strip 200 is completed, the wire cutter installed on the knife roller body 600 rotates with the knife roller body 600. If the position accuracy of the wire cutter on the knife roller body 600 after grinding reaches the set standard, the various protrusions on the wire cutter can normally pass through the corresponding positioning grooves 210 of the lower knife gate strip 200. If the position accuracy of the wire cutter on the knife roller body 600 does not reach the set standard, the wire cutter cannot pass through the lower knife gate strip 200. Then, the position accuracy of the wire cutter is detected by the tool positioning unit to ensure that the wire cutter has good installation accuracy during the wire cutting process. Therefore, through the tool positioning unit and the grinding wheel grinding positioning unit, the accuracy of the wire cutter installation position and the grinding wheel movement position is significantly improved, reducing the occurrence of the problem of raw cigarette running, and then ensuring the stability of wire cutting and wire cutting width.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning portion of the wire cutter 100 includes a positioning plate 300, and the locking portion includes a locking screw 400 and a locking nut 410, and a first waist-shaped hole 310 is opened in the positioning plate 300, one end of the locking screw 400 passes through the first waist-shaped hole 310 and is fixedly connected to the lower knife gate strip 200, and the first waist-shaped hole 310 extends along the extension direction of the lower knife gate strip 200, so that the relative position of the lower knife gate strip 200 on the positioning plate 300 can be adjusted through the first waist-shaped hole 310, and the locking nut 410 is connected to the other end of the locking screw 400 by a threaded manner, and abuts against the positioning plate 300, thereby locking and fixing the lower knife gate strip 200 on the positioning plate 300.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the adjustment part includes an adjustment plate 320, an adjustment screw 500 and a limit nut 510. Adjustment plates 320 are arranged at both ends of the positioning plate 300. The positioning plate 300 is installed on the knife roller body 600 through the adjustment plate 320, and a through hole is opened in the adjustment plate 320, so that one end of the adjustment screw 500 can be connected to the end of the lower knife gate strip 200 through the through hole of the adjustment plate 320, and the limit nut 510 is connected to the other end of the adjustment screw 500 by threading. At the same time, an adjustment gap is left between the end of the lower knife door strip 200 and the adjustment plate 320, that is, after the locking screw 400 and the locking nut 410 release the lock on the lower knife door strip 200, the lower knife door strip 200 can be moved in the adjustment gap by rotating the limit nut 510 on the adjusting screw 500, and the relative position of the lower knife door strip 200 on the positioning plate 300 is adjusted. After the position of the lower knife door strip 200 is adjusted, the limit nut 510 is rotated in the opposite direction so that the limit nut 510 abuts against the adjustment plates 320 at both ends of the positioning plate 300 to limit the lower knife door strip 200, and then the lower knife door strip 200 is locked and fixed to the positioning plate 300 by the locking screw 400 and the locking nut 410, so as to ensure the stability of the lower knife door strip 200.

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, at least one of the two adjustment plates 320 is provided with a second waist-shaped hole 321, and the positioning plate 300 is provided with a third waist-shaped hole 330 matched with the second waist-shaped hole 321, and the second waist-shaped hole 321 and the third waist-shaped hole 330 are both extended along the extension direction of the lower knife door strip 200. By making the adjustment between the adjustment plate 320 and the positioning plate 300 adjustable, the adjustable range of the position of the lower knife door strip 200 is increased to accommodate more wire cutters 100 with different installation positions, so that the adjustment of the lower knife door strip 200 is more flexible.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the grinding wheel grinding positioning unit monitors the position of the grinding wheel in real time by using a laser sensor to measure the displacement distance of the grinding wheel, thereby feeding back error alarm information of the grinding wheel position. The detection range of the laser sensor should be less than 60mm, and the overall size of the laser sensor should be less than 100mmX60mm to reduce the space occupied, and it should also have high sensitivity and resolution. At the same time, the grinding wheel grinding positioning unit also includes modular programming to meet the reliability, stability and timeliness of the control system. Modular programming has the advantages of simple control method, good stable performance, high reliability, strong integration and convenient application.

[0043] The embodiment of the present invention further discloses a tobacco shredding system, including a positioning structure. Since the tobacco shredding system has the positioning structure, it has all the technical effects of the positioning structure, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0044] In order to further ensure the quality and stability of tobacco shreds, the tobacco shreds system provided in this implementation also includes an online quality monitoring and evaluation system, which performs real-time detection and evaluation feedback on the tobacco shreds production process. When abnormalities occur in various links and equipment operations during the production process, the staff can be promptly prompted to carry out maintenance, thereby ensuring the quality and stability of tobacco shreds.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the chain speed, compressed air pressure, knife door height, knife roller speed and wire cutting width are monitored in real time, and the monitored data are statistically analyzed and fitted to establish a wire quality monitoring and evaluation system, so that the detection results are presented in data form, the wire cutting quality is monitored more intuitively and clearly, and the wire cutting quality process indicators and equipment operation status are monitored online, so that each detected item operates accurately within the set parameter range.

[0046] The line quality monitoring and evaluation system provided in this embodiment collects data through online sampling, samples according to preset time to form multiple sampling groups, and finally takes the average value of each sampling group. In a specific embodiment, the preset sampling time can be set to 30S, and the number of sampling groups is set to 10 groups. For example, the speed value of the chain is collected every 30S, a total of 10 times, and then the average value of 10 groups is calculated. At the same time, a coefficient of variation index is established, and the data collected from the chain speed is evaluated by the coefficient of variation index. The 10 groups of data are fitted. If the coefficient of variation index is greater than 1, it is evaluated that the operation of the chain is abnormal, and timely feedback is given to the staff to overhaul the operation of the chain, so that the entire equipment can operate normally, and then the quality and qualified rate of tobacco shreds are guaranteed.

[0047] In addition, in the production process, different types of tobacco shreds need to be cut according to different requirements. The tobacco shredding system provided in this embodiment also forms an internal control standard, which includes a line quality monitoring and evaluation system, and the internal control standard is set with multiple types to correspond to the requirements of different types of tobacco shreds during production, forming an internal control standard corresponding to the production of a brand of tobacco shreds. In a specific embodiment, the production process is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, when producing tobacco of different brands, the internal control standard of the corresponding brand can be directly called to make the equipment perform shred production. Therefore, the internal control standard provided by this embodiment changes the adjustment of various parameters of equipment operation based on the work experience of the staff in the existing production process, thereby solving the problem that the shred quality of different people operating the same equipment based on work experience adjustment is different, and the stability of shred quality cannot be guaranteed, which greatly improves the operation stability of shred process equipment, thereby ensuring the stability of production quality.

[0048] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0049] As shown in this application and claims, unless the context clearly indicates an exception, the words "a", "an", "a kind" and / or "the" do not refer to the singular, but also include the plural. Generally speaking, the terms "include" and "comprise" only indicate the inclusion of clearly identified steps and elements, and these steps and elements do not constitute an exclusive list. The method or device may also include other steps or elements. The elements defined by the sentence "includes a..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, commodity or device that includes the elements.

[0050] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.
