Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cigarette spray gun technology, specifically relating to an electronic adhesive spraying self-cleaning control device and method. Background Technology
[0002] Prolonged operation or inactivity of the high-speed electronic glue spraying system can cause glue solidification, stringing, and clogging of the nozzles, resulting in uneven glue application, abnormal application, and incorrect glue coverage during pre-drilled cigarette production. This leads to process defects and substandard cigarettes. To address this issue, glue is drained before startup, a process that is time-consuming and may not be completely thorough. In severe cases, disassembly of the spray gun and glue head is necessary. The spray gun's complex structure and precision components, including five high-speed solenoid valves and electronic devices, make disassembly difficult and require high installation accuracy. The glue head consists of multiple parts secured by locating pins and screws; each disassembly and reassembly causes positional shifts, even slight ones requiring adjustments to control system parameters, significantly impacting production. Furthermore, wear on screws and nuts and loose fits between components can lead to glue leakage. Summary of the Invention
