[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette feeding, sorting and conveying module 3 includes a straight vibrator placement plate 301, a cigarette conveying module blocking plate 302, a straight vibrator 303, a cigarette sorting plate 304, a cigarette sorting ejector 305, axial cigarettes 306, a cigarette conveying plate 307, a blocked cigarette cleaning module 308, a blocked cigarette cleaning brush 309 and a straight vibrator shock-absorbing pad 310.

[0018] The straight vibrator placement plate 301 is provided with two groups, the front group and the rear group, and is fixedly installed on the tobacco cut equipment frame 2. A straight vibrator 303 is installed above the straight vibrator placement plate 301, and a straight vibrator shock-absorbing pad 310 is arranged between the straight vibrator 303 and the straight vibrator placement plate 301. The straight vibrator 303 is also provided with two groups, the front group and the rear group; a cigarette sorting plate 304 is also installed above the straight vibrator placement plate 301 of the front group, and the straight vibrator 303 of the front group is fixed below the cigarette sorting plate 304; a cigarette conveying plate 307 is also installed above the straight vibrator placement plate 301 of the rear group, and the straight vibrator 303 of the rear group is fixed below the cigarette conveying plate 307. The upper surfaces of the cigarette sorting plate 304 and the cigarette conveying plate 307 are sinusoidal wave-shaped and at the same height. The defective cigarettes falling from the defective cigarette outlet 1 onto the cigarette sorting plate 304 are deflected by the cigarette sorting ejector pins 305 on the cigarette sorting plate 304 to form axial cigarettes 306. The axial cigarettes 306 can be conveyed forward by the straight vibrator at the bottom of the valley between the two plates (the cigarette sorting plate 304 and the cigarette conveying plate 307).

[0019] Furthermore, the cigarette sorting plate 304 is provided with a plurality of cigarette sorting ejectors 305. In this embodiment, the cigarette sorting ejectors 305 are provided with a plurality of ejectors, which are divided into a plurality of front and rear groups, and each group is evenly provided with a plurality of ejectors, which are evenly arranged from left to right on the cigarette sorting plate 304. When the defective cigarettes dropped out of the defective cigarette outlet 1 fall on the cigarette sorting plate 304, if there are cigarettes lying on them, they will be blocked by the cigarette sorting ejectors 305, and then the horizontal cigarettes will be converted into axial cigarettes 306 for transportation through the vibration of the straight vibrator, so that they are transported to the cigarette conveying plate 307.

[0020] Furthermore, the cigarette feeding, sorting and conveying module 3 is equipped with a cigarette conveying module baffle plate 302, which is divided into a first cigarette conveying module baffle plate and a second cigarette conveying module baffle plate.

The cigarette conveying module baffle plates 302 are used to block cigarettes and prevent them from leaking from the two sides of the cigarette sorting plate 304 and the cigarette conveying plate 307 during movement. The cigarette conveying plate 307 is provided with a blocked cigarette cleaning module 308, and the blocked cigarette cleaning module 308 is installed on the second cigarette conveying module barrier plate. When the cigarette conveying plate 307 is blocked, the blocked cigarette cleaning module 308 drives the blocked cigarette cleaning brush 309 to clean up all the cigarettes on the cigarette conveying plate 307 to eliminate the blockage.

[0021] The blocked cigarette cleaning module 308 includes a linear module, an auxiliary guide rail, a connecting rod, and a cleaning drive motor. The linear module and the auxiliary guide rail are respectively installed on the second cigarette conveying module baffle plates on the left and right sides of the cigarette conveying plate 307.

The upper feeding meshing shaft 402 and the lower feeding meshing shaft 403 are fixed on the cutting module placement plate 401. The upper feeding meshing shaft 402 is driven by the feeding power output motor 404, and then the lower feeding meshing shaft 403 is driven by the upper feeding meshing shaft 402 to perform meshing motion. When the axial cigarette 306 is brought by the cigarette conveying plate 307, the meshing motion of the two shafts is transmitted to the rotation assembly. The upper feeding meshing shaft 402 is located above the lower feeding meshing shaft 403, and the lower meshing shaft 403 is provided with a plurality of evenly arranged notches, which correspond to the sine wave valley bottom of the cigarette conveying plate 307.

The self-rotating roller gearbox 406 is driven by the self-rotating power output motor 407 to realize the same-direction rotation of multiple self-rotating rollers 405. The meshing shaft assembly sends the axial cigarette 306 to the self-rotating roller 405. As the self-rotating roller 405 rotates, the axial cigarette 306 rotates in the same direction as the self-rotating roller 405. Further, the self-rotating roller gearbox 406 includes multiple groups of self-rotating gears of the same size and shape arranged in sequence, and auxiliary gears are provided between adjacent self-rotating gears. Through the auxiliary gears, the self-rotating gears at both ends thereof can rotate in the same direction. A rotating shaft of a rotating roller is fixed at the center of each rotating gear, and one of the rotating gears is driven by the rotating power output motor 407 to realize the same direction rotation of other rotating gears, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating roller driven by the rotating gear.

[0026] The cutting assembly includes a cutting fixed seat 408, a cutting feed shaft 409, a cutting shaft 410, a cutting knife 411 and a cutting power motor 412. The cutting feed shaft 409 and the cutting shaft 410 are fixed directly above the self-rotating roller 405 through the cutting fixed seat 408 and arranged obliquely. The cutting feed shaft 409 is located between the cutting shaft 410 and the meshing shaft assembly, and is used to drive the axial cigarette 306 on the self-rotating roller 405 to move toward the cutting shaft 410. The cutting shaft 410 is equipped with a cutting knife 411, and the cigarette paper of the cigarette is cut by the cutting knife 411.

[0027] The cutting feed shaft 409 and the cutting shaft 410 are driven by the cutting power motor 412 to achieve the same direction movement. Furthermore, the two ends of the cutting feed shaft 409 are installed on the cutting fixed seat 408 through bearings, one end extends out and is provided with a first gear; the two ends of the cutting shaft 410 are installed on the cutting fixed seat 408 through bearings, one end extends out and is provided with a second gear, and the other end is driven by the cutting power motor 412, and the first gear and the second gear are connected by a chain. When the cutting power motor 412 drives the cutting shaft 410 to rotate, the cutting shaft 410 drives the first gear to rotate in the same direction through the second gear and the chain, and then drives the cutting feed shaft 409 to rotate in the same direction.

[0028] When in use, the cigarette rotates on the two self-rotating rollers 405 due to friction, and the cigarette on the two self-rotating rollers 405 is pushed to the cutting assembly by the subsequent axial cigarette 306, and the subsequent axial cigarette 306 moves by the meshing movement of the two axes. After the cigarette reaches the cutting feed shaft 409 and the cutting shaft 410, the rotating cigarette is spirally cut by their same-direction movement.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the cigarette paper unfolding module 5 includes an unfolding module placement plate 501, a cut cigarette baffle plate 502, a flexible roller 503 and a cigarette paper unfolding motor 504. The unfolding module placement plate 501 is fixed on the tobacco shred equipment frame 2, the cut cigarette baffle plate 502 is connected to the unfolding module placement plate 501, the cut cigarette baffle plate 502 wraps and fixes the flexible roller 503, and both ends of the flexible roller 503 are installed on the cut cigarette baffle plate 502 through bearings. Two flexible rollers 503 are provided and meshing movement, one of the flexible rollers 503 is driven by the cigarette paper unfolding motor 504, and a third gear is provided at one end thereof; the other flexible roller 503 is provided with a fourth gear at the same end, and the third gear drives the fourth gear to rotate, so as to realize the meshing movement of the two flexible rollers 503.

[0030] During use, the axial cigarette 306 is spirally cut into cut cigarettes 505 by the cigarette cutting module 4. After cutting, the cut cigarettes 505 fall onto the flexible roller 503. The two pairs of flexible rollers 503 rub the cut cigarettes 505 at differential speeds to separate the tobacco shreds from the cigarette paper waste. The cigarette paper unfolding motor 504 drives the flexible roller 503 to realize its meshing movement.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the tobacco separation module 6 includes a tobacco separation guide cylinder 601, a tobacco inlet frame baffle 602, a guide cylinder motor 603, a tobacco collection material frame 604, a waste paper slide 605, a waste paper conveyor belt 606, a waste material collection barrel 607 and a cigarette unfolding slide 608.

[0032] The unfolding cigarette slide 608 is connected to the cigarette paper unfolding module 5, the inlet is located below the cigarette paper unfolding module 5, and the outlet extends into the inside of the tobacco separation guide tube 601. One end of the tobacco separation guide tube 601 passes through the outlet of the unfolding cigarette slide 608, and the other end is rotatably fixed on the tobacco equipment frame 2 and driven by the guide tube motor 603. A tobacco inlet frame baffle 602 is arranged on the outside of the tobacco separation guide tube 601. The tobacco inlet frame baffle 602 wraps the tobacco separation guide tube 601, leaving only an output port directly below, and a tobacco collection material frame 604 is placed directly below the output port for collecting separated tobacco.

[0033] When in use, the cut cigarette 505 basically realizes the state of separation of tobacco and waste after passing through the cigarette paper unfolding module 5, and is transferred into the tobacco separation guide cylinder 601 by the unfolding cigarette slide 608, and the tobacco separation guide cylinder 601 is rotated by the guide cylinder motor 603. The cross section of the tobacco separation guide cylinder 601 is a hexagonal body, and there are a large number of waist-shaped holes on each edge of the hexagonal body. Tobacco can be separated through the waist-shaped holes, and the remaining cigarette paper waste cannot pass through the waist-shaped holes and can only be transferred forward through the guide plate in the tobacco separation guide cylinder 601, and finally transferred out of the tobacco separation guide cylinder 601, and enter the waste paper conveyor belt 606 through the waste paper slide 605, and the waste paper conveyor belt 606 continues to transfer forward, and finally collected in the waste collection barrel 607 for centralized treatment.

[0034] The present invention has the following advantages: a novel spiral cigarette cutting technology is used, and the cutting size of the cutting blade during the cutting process is controllable, so the tobacco is basically not broken, and the tobacco is not contaminated by cigarette waste, so the purity of the tobacco is extremely high; the equipment does not contain wind and thermal equipment during operation, so the moisture content of the recovered tobacco is basically unchanged.

[0035] This mechanism occupies a small area and has a low working surface height. It can be directly connected to the defective cigarette discharge outlet on the cigarette production line to process cigarettes in real time, avoiding the waste caused by the mixed processing of high-end and low-end cigarettes.
