[0017] A telescopic feeding method for tobacco leaf sorting and grading is applied to the telescopic feeding device for tobacco leaf sorting and grading, and the steps are as follows:

[0018] S1. Adjust the length: The electric push rod extends to move the telescopic conveyor body. The telescopic conveyor body moves and the telescopic plate is used to change the position of the movable roller shaft, thereby extending the distance between the telescopic feeder and the telescopic conveyor body, thereby extending the conveying distance;

[0019] S2, increase support: when extending the conveying distance, the telescopic plate moves to pull the telescopic frame out of the main support part, the folding plate and the folding support roller in the telescopic frame are pulled out, the first coil spring in the folded state bounces up the folding plate and the folding support roller, and the folding support roller contacts the belt;

[0020] S3, locked position: the folding plate extends from the main support part, and then the wedge block extends from the main support part. At this time, the elastic force of the coil spring ejects the wedge block, and the wedge block blocks the first magnet through the insulating baffle through the transmission gear and the toothed plate. The second magnet moves toward the telescopic frame under the action of the magnetic force to extend the locking baffle. The locking baffle cooperates with the limit baffle to lock the position of the folding plate;

[0021] S4, gathering and separation: When tobacco leaves gather together, the gravity of tobacco leaves and belt is greater than the elastic force of load-bearing spring, the docking shaft and slider move downward, that is, the movable bevel gear moves downward, the movable bevel gear meshes with the double-end gear disc, so that the circular plate rotates, and the circular plate uses the column to make the reciprocating ring and the diffusion rod reciprocate up and down to separate the tobacco leaves;

[0022] S5. Offset correction: When the belt deviates in the direction of the screw, the correction gear drives the screw to rotate forward, and the screw uses the roller to push the sleeve to correct the belt deviation. The belt deviates away from the screw, and the screw reverses and uses the roller to pull the sleeve to correct the belt deviation.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] When the gravity of the tobacco leaves and the belt is greater than the elastic force of the load-bearing spring, it means that the number of tobacco leaves on the belt is large and not evenly distributed on the belt. The diffusion rod hits the belt, and a bulge is generated at the impact point of the diffusion rod on the column. The tobacco leaves spread around along the bulge, and the tobacco leaves are separated, thereby spreading the tobacco leaves evenly, avoiding tobacco leaf accumulation and aggravating belt wear. At the same time, the tobacco leaves are scattered for sorting and grading.

[0025] The intermediate shaft and the folding support roller in the telescopic frame are extended, and the folding plate pops up under the elastic force of the first coil spring, so that the folding support roller contacts the belt, and at the same time the locking baffle is extended and cooperates with the limit baffle to lock the position of the folding plate. The folding support roller supports the belt to prevent the conveying length from increasing and the middle part of the belt from being concave. The tobacco leaves on the belt gather in the concave position, which affects the efficiency of tobacco leaf sorting and grading and aggravates the wear of the belt.

[0026] Furthermore, when the belt deviates toward the screw, the correcting gear drives the screw to rotate forward, and the screw uses the roller to push the sleeve to correct the belt deviation; when the belt deviates away from the screw, the screw reverses and uses the roller to pull the sleeve to correct the belt deviation, thereby avoiding the change in the conveying direction of tobacco leaves and causing them to fall due to the belt deviation, and reducing the wear of the belt.

[0038] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0039] The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings herein may be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. Example

[0043] This embodiment provides a telescopic feeding device for tobacco leaf sorting and grading. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a telescopic feeder 1 and a main support part 2, the main support part 2 is provided with a storage groove, and a secondary support part 7 for supporting the belt of the extended part is slidably installed in the storage groove, an electric push rod 3 is fixedly installed on the side of the telescopic feeder 1, and a telescopic plate 4 is fixedly installed on the end of the electric push rod 3.

[0044] like Figure 1 and 7 As shown, a telescopic conveyor body 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the telescopic plate 4, a main support part 2 is rotatably connected to the side of the telescopic feeder 1, a movable roller shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the side of the telescopic plate 4, and a belt is provided at the roller body of the movable roller shaft 6. The distance between the telescopic conveyor body 5 and the telescopic feeder 1 is increased by extending the electric push rod 3, thereby increasing the feeding length of the belt, and the tobacco leaves are transported by the belt to the tobacco leaf sorting and grading position.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary support part 7 includes a folding plate 77, and a tobacco diffuser 9 is arranged on the side of the folding plate 77. The tobacco diffuser 9 includes a docking shaft 91, a slider 92, a load-bearing spring 93, a transmission part, a circular plate 99, a column 910, a reciprocating ring 911, a supporting plate 912 and a diffusion rod 913. The end of the docking shaft 91 is rotatably connected to the slider 92, and the slider 92 slides on the folding plate 77. The two ends of the load-bearing spring 93 are respectively fixedly connected to the slider 92 and the folding plate 77.

[0046] A transmission part is set at the end of the docking shaft 91, and the transmission part includes a movable bevel gear 97 and a double-end gear plate 98. The end of the docking shaft 91 is fixedly connected to the movable bevel gear 97. When the bottom of the slider 92 contacts the magnetic block 95, the movable bevel gear 97 and the double-end gear plate 98 are meshed with each other. The middle part of the double-end gear plate 98 is rotatably connected to the folding plate 77, and the end of the double-end gear plate 98 is meshed with the circular plate 99 through gears.

[0047] A column 910 is fixedly installed on the plane of the docking shaft 91, and the arc surface of the column 910 contacts the reciprocating ring 911. A support plate 912 is fixedly installed on the top of the reciprocating ring 911, and a diffusion rod 913 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 912. The belt is hit by the diffusion rod 913. The support plate 912 slides up and down on the side of the folding plate 77, and the folding plate 77 guides the support plate 912. The top of the diffusion rod 913 contacts the belt, and the docking shaft 91 is fixedly installed on the end of the folding support roller 78.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the slider 92 slides up and down inside the folding plate 77, and a magnetic block 95 and a support plate 94 are fixedly installed inside the folding plate 77. A central hole is opened at the center of the magnetic block 95, and a load-bearing spring 93 passes through the central hole and is fixedly connected to the support plate 94. When the slider 92 moves downward to the top of the magnetic block 95, the magnetic block 95 is used to limit the slider 92 to avoid excessive squeezing force between the slider 92 and the double-end gear disc 98. At the same time, the magnetic block 95 absorbs the slider 92, so that the movable bevel gear 97 at the end of the docking shaft 91 and the double-end gear disc 98 are stably engaged.

[0049] When tobacco leaves are unloaded on the belt, they are piled up together. The gravity of the piled tobacco leaves and the belt is greater than the elastic force of the load-bearing spring 93. The docking shaft 91 and the slider 92 move downward, that is, the movable bevel gear 97 moves downward, and the movable bevel gear 97 meshes with the double-end toothed disc 98, so that the circular plate 99 rotates. The circular plate 99 uses the column 910 to make the reciprocating ring 911 reciprocate up and down. The reciprocating ring 911 drives the supporting plate 912 and the diffusion rod 913 to reciprocate. The diffusion rod 913 hits the belt, and the diffusion rod 913 produces a bulge at the impact point of the column 910. The tobacco leaves spread around along the bulge position to separate the tobacco leaves. And because the tobacco leaf diffuser 9 is located at one end of the telescopic conveyor body 5 close to the tobacco leaf sorting and grading equipment, the diffusion rod 913 hits the belt to diffuse the accumulated tobacco leaves, avoiding tobacco leaf accumulation and reducing belt wear. At the same time, the tobacco leaf diffusion will facilitate tobacco leaf grading and sorting.

[0050] At the same time, during the downward movement of the movable bevel gear 97, the meshing positions of the movable bevel gear 97 and the double-end toothed disc 98 are different. The heavier the stacked tobacco leaves, the closer the meshing position of the movable bevel gear 97 and the double-end toothed disc 98 is to the center of the double-end toothed disc 98. When the rotation speed of the movable bevel gear 97 remains unchanged, the rotation speed of the double-end toothed disc 98 is faster. Therefore, the heavier the tobacco leaves, the higher the frequency of the diffusion rod 913 impacting the belt. Different frequencies of impact are performed according to the different weights of the stacked tobacco leaves.

[0051] like Figure 4As shown, a positioning spring sheet 96 is elastically connected to the inside of the folding plate 77 and at the bottom of the slider 92. An expansion groove is provided at the elastic connection between the folding plate 77 and the positioning spring sheet 96, and the end of the positioning spring sheet 96 is located in the expansion groove. The positioning spring sheet 96 is used to hold the slider 92 first. When the gravity of the tobacco leaves and the pressure of the belt are greater than the positioning spring sheet 96, the positioning spring sheet 96 is deformed, and the slider 92 moves downward. When the pressure from the tobacco leaves on the docking shaft 91 is small, the positioning spring sheet 96 supports the slider 92 to support the belt stably. When the pressure from the tobacco leaves on the docking shaft 91 is large, the slider 92 moves downward, so that the movable bevel gear 97 at the end of the docking shaft 91 docks with the double-end toothed disc 98, so that the diffusion rod 913 reciprocates.

[0052] When the weight of the accumulated tobacco leaves is greater than the supporting force applied by the positioning spring piece 96 and the load-bearing spring 93 to the slider 92, the slider 92 moves downward, and the movable bevel gear 97 engages with the double-end toothed disc 98. When the weight of the accumulated tobacco leaves is less than the supporting force applied by the positioning spring piece 96 and the load-bearing spring 93 to the slider 92, the position of the slider 92 remains unchanged, so that the movable bevel gear 97 and the double-end toothed disc 98 are staggered, avoiding the movable bevel gear and the double-end toothed disc 98 from engaging, causing the diffusion rod 913 to continuously impact the belt, causing the belt to deform and aggravate the damage to the belt.

[0053] In this embodiment, the tobacco leaves transported on the belt are gathered together, and the gravity of the tobacco leaves and the belt is greater than the elastic force of the load-bearing spring 93. The docking shaft 91 and the slider 92 move downward, that is, the movable bevel gear 97 moves downward, and the movable bevel gear 97 engages with the double-end toothed disc 98, so that the circular plate 99 rotates. The circular plate 99 uses the column 910 to make the reciprocating ring 911 reciprocate up and down, and the reciprocating ring 911 drives the supporting plate 912 and the diffusion rod 913 to reciprocate, and the diffusion rod 913 hits the belt. A bulge is generated at the impact point of the diffusion rod 913 on the belt, and the tobacco leaves spread around along the bulge to separate the tobacco leaves. Example

[0054] Based on Example 1, this embodiment proposes a telescopic feeding device for tobacco leaf sorting and grading, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a secondary support part 7 is provided between the telescopic feeder 1 and the telescopic plate 4, and the secondary support part 7 includes a telescopic frame 75, a folding plate 77, a folding support roller 78, a locking baffle 79, a limit baffle 710, a first coil spring 711, a wedge block 712 and a spiral spring 713. Both ends of the folding support roller 78 are rotatably connected to the folding plate 77, and the side of the folding plate 77 is rotatably connected to the telescopic frame 75. The first coil spring 711 is elastically connected between the folding plate 77 and the telescopic frame 75. When the telescopic conveyor body 5 moves, it uses the telescopic plate 4 to pull the telescopic frame 75, and the telescopic frame 75 is pulled out from the main support part 2. The telescopic frame 75 is rotatably connected to an intermediate shaft 76 in the frame, and the intermediate shaft 76 passes through the folding plate 77.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic frame 75 is fixedly connected to the telescopic plate 4, a plurality of folding support rollers 78 are provided, and are evenly distributed in a straight line in the inner frame of the telescopic frame 75, and the roller bodies of the folding support rollers 78 contact the belt.

[0056] When the folding plate 77 is located inside the main support part 2, the folding plate 77 is in a folded state, and the first coil spring 711 is in a compressed state; when the folding plate 77 is extended from the main support part 2, the first coil spring 711 restores its deformation, and the folding plate 77 and the folding support roller 78 support the belt. The folding support roller 78 is added to support the belt to avoid an increase in the conveying length, resulting in a concave condition in the middle of the belt. The tobacco leaves on the belt gather in the concave position, which aggravates the wear of the belt and increases the difficulty of grading the tobacco leaves.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the inner frame of the telescopic frame 75 is fixedly installed with a limit baffle 710, the interior of the telescopic frame 75 is slidably connected to the locking baffle 79 and the wedge block 712, the side of the wedge block 712 is meshedly connected with a transmission gear 714, the transmission gear 714 is meshedly connected with a tooth plate 715, the interior of the telescopic frame 75 and located on the end extension line of the locking baffle 79 is fixedly installed with a first magnet 71, the interior of the telescopic frame 75 and located at the end position of the first magnet 71 is slidably connected with an insulating baffle 73, the end of the tooth plate 715 is fixedly connected to the insulating baffle 73, and second magnets 72 are fixedly installed on both sides of the locking baffle 79. The magnetic force of the second magnet 72 is smaller than that of the first magnet 71, and a rubber plate is fixedly installed between the locking baffle 79 and the second magnet 72, and the insulating baffle 73 is located between the locking baffle 79 and the first magnet 71.

[0058] When the telescopic frame 75 is extended, the folding plate 77 is extended from the main support part 2, and then the wedge block 712 is extended from the main support part 2. At this time, the elastic force of the coil spring 713 pops out the wedge block 712, and the wedge block 712 blocks the first magnet 71 through the conversion part so that the insulating baffle 73 blocks the first magnet 71. Under the magnetic force of the second magnet 72, the second magnet 72 moves away from the insulating baffle 73 and is adsorbed on the telescopic frame 75. At this time, the locking baffle 79 is extended from the telescopic frame 75. At this time, the locking baffle 79 and the limit baffle 710 are respectively located on both sides of the folding plate 77, thereby locking the position of the folding plate 77 so that it is always perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0059] When the telescopic frame 75 is retracted into the main support part 2, the wedge block 712 is squeezed by the main support part 2 and enters the interior of the telescopic frame 75. The wedge block 712 uses the transmission gear 714 to move the tooth plate 715, so that the insulating baffle 73 is separated from between the locking baffle 79 and the first magnet 71. The magnetic force of the first magnet 71 attracts the locking baffle 79, and because the magnetic force of the second magnet 72 is smaller than that of the first magnet 71, the locking baffle 79 moves toward the direction of the first magnet 71. At this time, the locking baffle 79 moves away from the side of the folding plate 77, unlocking the folding plate 77, and the main support part 2 pushes the folding plate 77 to compress the first coil spring 711. The folding plate 77 is folded and enters the main support part 2.

[0060] A roller 74 is rotatably connected to the receiving groove of the main support part 2 . The roller 74 and the intermediate shaft 76 are parallel to each other. The inclined surface of the wedge block 712 contacts the main support part 2 . The roller 74 reduces the friction between the main support part 2 and the folding plate 77 .

[0061] In this embodiment, the intermediate shaft 76 and the folding support roller 78 in the telescopic frame 75 are extended, and the folding plate 77 pops up under the elastic force of the first coil spring 711, so that the folding support roller 78 contacts the belt. The folding support roller 78 supports the belt to avoid the increase of the conveying length, and the middle part of the belt is concave. The tobacco leaves on the belt gather in the concave position, which increases the difficulty of grading the tobacco leaves. The locking baffle 79 is extended and cooperates with the limit baffle 710 to lock the position of the folding plate 77 to avoid displacement of the folding plate 77 after the folding support roller 78 is subjected to force. Example

[0062] Based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1 or 2, this embodiment proposes a telescopic feeding device for tobacco leaf sorting and grading, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a deviation correction member 8 is provided on the side of the telescopic conveyor body 5, and the deviation correction member 8 includes a synchronous plate 81, a docking end toothed disc 83, a transfer bevel gear 84, a deviation correction gear 85, a screw 86, an extension plate 87, a roller 88, a sleeve 813 and a driven roller 814. The docking end toothed disc 83 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the synchronous plate 81, and the docking end toothed disc 83 is rotatably connected to the telescopic plate 4. The transfer bevel gear 84 is connected to the deviation correction gear 85 through a belt. The deviation correction gear 85 is rotatably connected to the telescopic conveyor body 5, and the docking end toothed disc 83 is connected to the deviation correction gear 85 through an intermediate member. The extension plate 87 is fixedly connected to the telescopic conveyor body 5, the middle part of the screw 86 is threadedly connected to the extension plate 87, the end of the screw 86 is meshedly connected to the deviation correction gear 85, and the end of the screw 86 is rotatably connected to the roller 88.

[0063] like Figure 8 and Fig.10As shown, an annular groove is formed at the end of the sleeve 813, and the roller 88 slides in the annular groove. The sleeve 813 is sleeved on the driven roller 814, and a convex strip is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the driven roller 814, and the middle part of the sleeve 813 contacts the belt. The convex strip on the driven roller 814 drives the sleeve 813 to rotate, and the driven roller 814 guides the sleeve 813. When the sleeve 813 rotates, the roller 88 rotates in the annular groove.

[0064] The screw 86 is rotated to change the position of the roller 88 at its end, and the roller 88 applies force to the sleeve 813, thereby changing the relative position of the sleeve 813 and the driven roller 814, and changing the position of the belt on the sleeve 813.

[0065] like Fig. 9 As shown, a notched rotating shaft 82 is fixedly installed at the bottom fixed center of the synchronous plate 81, and a separation block 810 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the notched rotating shaft 82. A second coil spring 811 is elastically connected between the notched rotating shaft 82 and the separation block 810. An adjustment slot is provided on the top of the telescopic plate 4. The separation block 810 slides left and right in the adjustment slot at the top of the telescopic plate 4. A return spring 812 is elastically connected between the separation block 810 and the telescopic plate 4. A positioning plug plate 89 is fixedly installed in the adjustment slot of the telescopic plate 4. The positioning plug plate 89 is clamped with the notched rotating shaft 82. When the notched rotating shaft 82 is separated from the positioning plug plate 89, the butt-end toothed disc 83 is meshed and connected with the deviation correction gear 85.

[0066] When the notched shaft 82 rotates, the second coil spring 811 is compressed. When the belt corrects the deviation, the belt no longer squeezes the synchronous plate 81. At this time, the elastic force of the second coil spring 811 resets the notched shaft 82, so that the notched shaft 82 is engaged with the positioning plug plate 89 again, so as to correct the deviation of the belt later.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the belt deviates, the notched rotating shaft 82 cannot be selected because the positioning plug plate 89 jams the notched rotating shaft 82. The belt pushes the notched rotating shaft 82 to move and separate from the positioning plug plate 89. At this time, the belt causes the notched rotating shaft 82 to rotate, that is, the butt end toothed disc 83 rotates. The butt end toothed disc 83 rotates and uses the adapter bevel gear 84 to rotate the correcting gear 85. The rotation of the correcting gear 85 causes the screw 86 to move. When the belt deviates in the direction of the screw 86, the correcting gear 85 drives the screw 86 to rotate forward. The screw 86 uses the roller 88 to push the sleeve 813 to correct the belt deviation. The belt deviates away from the screw 86, and the screw 86 reverses and uses the roller 88 to pull the sleeve 813 to correct the belt deviation.

[0068] A telescopic feeding method for tobacco leaf sorting and grading is applied to the telescopic feeding device for tobacco leaf sorting and grading, and the steps are as follows:

[0069] S1. Adjust the length: The electric push rod 3 is extended to move the telescopic conveyor body 5. The telescopic conveyor body 5 moves and the telescopic plate 4 is used to change the position of the movable roller shaft 6, thereby extending the distance between the telescopic feeder 1 and the telescopic conveyor body 5, thereby extending the conveying distance;

[0070] S2. Increase support: When extending the conveying distance, the telescopic plate 4 moves to pull the telescopic frame 75 out of the main support part 2, and the folding plate 77 and the folding support roller 78 in the telescopic frame 75 are pulled out, and the first coil spring 711 in the folded state bounces up the folding plate 77 and the folding support roller 78, and the folding support roller 78 contacts the belt;

[0071] S3, locked position: when the folding plate 77 extends from the main support part 2, the wedge block 712 extends from the main support part 2, and the elastic force of the coil spring 713 ejects the wedge block 712, and the wedge block 712 blocks the first magnet 71 through the insulating baffle 73 through the transmission gear 714 and the tooth plate 715. The second magnet 72 moves toward the telescopic frame 75 under the action of the magnetic force to extend the locking baffle 79, and the locking baffle 79 cooperates with the limit baffle 710 to lock the position of the folding plate 77;

[0072] S4, gathering and separation: When the tobacco leaves gather together, the gravity of the tobacco leaves and the belt is greater than the elastic force of the load-bearing spring 93, the docking shaft 91 and the slider 92 move downward, that is, the movable bevel gear 97 moves downward, and the movable bevel gear 97 meshes with the double-end gear plate 98, so that the circular plate 99 rotates, and the circular plate 99 uses the column 910 to make the reciprocating ring 911 and the diffusion rod 913 reciprocate up and down to separate the tobacco leaves;

[0073] S5. Offset correction: When the belt deviates in the direction of the screw 86, the deviation correction gear 85 drives the screw 86 to rotate forward, and the screw 86 uses the roller 88 to push the sleeve 813 to correct the belt deviation. The belt deviates away from the screw 86, and the screw 86 reverses and uses the roller 88 to pull the sleeve 813 to correct the belt deviation.

[0074] The above specific embodiments are only several optional embodiments of the present invention. Based on the technical solutions of the present invention and the relevant inspirations of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
