Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new tobacco (heat-not-burn new particle cigarette) production and manufacturing equipment, and in particular to a cleaning device and method for automatically cleaning residual glue liquid on the end surface of a tobacco glue supply nozzle. Background Art

[0002] In current industrial production, glue coating devices of various structures and shapes are widely used to evenly coat the product surface with glue to meet the requirements of the bonding process. Especially in the production of new particle cigarettes that are heated but not burned, the glue nozzle is used to accurately glue the end of the cigarette tube, and then a special sealing paper is used to implement bonding and sealing at the glue coating position to effectively prevent the leakage of tobacco particles. However, during the glue supply and coating process, due to its unique structural characteristics and other related factors, glue residue and accumulation are easily formed on the end face and surrounding of the glue nozzle. If not cleaned in time, these residual glues are easy to accumulate and solidify or gradually accumulate under the action of gravity, and may drip into the inside of the cigarette tube or onto the equipment, which not only affects the appearance and quality of the cigarette products, but may also cause equipment failure and increase maintenance costs.

[0003] Given the limited space for equipment operation and the space constraints for installing additional cleaning devices, the existing automatic cleaning system is not conducive to widespread promotion and application due to its complex structure and high cost. At present, the conventional operation method is to have full-time personnel in the production process to wipe and clean the residual glue through manual intervention. This approach is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient, and there are hygiene issues. At the same time, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of cleaning quality and cleaning effect. In view of this, it is urgent to develop an efficient and precise automatic cleaning device to remove the residual glue at the glue supply nozzle port. Summary of the invention
