Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco production, and in particular to a cleaning device and a cleaning method for a tobacco leaf storage box. Background Art

[0002] In the tobacco production process, vacuum rehumidification of tobacco leaves is an important process in the cigarette production process. Its main purpose is to increase the moisture and temperature of tobacco leaves, make them soft and increase their toughness, and at the same time make them stretch, soften their surface, and make them easy to loosen. Through this treatment, the processing resistance of tobacco leaves can be improved, and the tobacco leaf crushing in subsequent processes can be reduced. At the same time, insects and sterilization can be carried out, green impurities can be removed, and the color and taste of tobacco leaves can be improved.

[0003] At present, in the process of vacuum rehumidification of tobacco leaves, after the front-end equipment puts two cigarette packs into the tobacco storage box, the cigarette packs are sent into the vacuum rehumidification box along with the storage box, and the air in the box is sucked by the vacuum system to make the box reach a predetermined vacuum degree. Subsequently, the humidification system will mix water vapor and water and input it into the box in the form of low-pressure steam, so that the tobacco leaves absorb moisture and soften. In this process, the moisture and temperature of the tobacco leaves in the storage box gradually reach a suitable state, thus completing the rehumidification process. After rehumidification, the tobacco leaves enter the box turner through the logistics system, and the box turner pours the tobacco leaves from the tobacco storage box into the loosening stack and rake machine. The loosened tobacco leaves are transported to the leaf production line by the cabinet feeder. However, in this process, since the tobacco leaves are high in humidity and weigh up to 400 kilograms, they are easily adhered to the bottom of the tobacco storage box, and a large amount of tobacco leaves not only need to be handled manually, but also cause certain waste.

[0004] Before cleaning the existing tobacco storage box, the turning machine turns the tobacco storage box over, and then the maintenance personnel clean and maintain it. This requires a separate station for maintenance, and the maintenance process is to use compressed air to blow up the tobacco leaves, and then the maintenance personnel clean and collect the blown tobacco leaves. The whole process is very labor-intensive, and during the cleaning process, tobacco leaf fragments will fall on the conveyor chain, wire trough, rack, photoelectric switch detection components, etc., causing the failure rate of surrounding equipment to increase.

[0065] Specifically, the first driving member 163 is a cylinder or a linear motor to achieve the lifting and lowering of the cleaning panel 11, which is not specifically limited here.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 In order to keep the cleaning mechanism 10 away from the tobacco storage box 1 when not cleaning, in this embodiment, the cleaning device for the tobacco storage box further includes a lifting mechanism 30, the output end of which is connected to the cleaning mechanism 10, and the lifting mechanism 30 is used to drive the cleaning mechanism 10 to move up and down. The setting of the lifting mechanism 30 can drive the lifting of the entire cleaning mechanism 10, that is, not only the lifting of the cleaning panel 11, so that when the cleaning mechanism 10 is not cleaning, the entire cleaning mechanism 10 and the visual detection member 20 are away from the tobacco storage box 1 to avoid affecting the operation of the tobacco storage box 1.

[0067] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 30 includes a guide frame 31, a second driving member 32 and a transmission structure 33. The guide frame 31 can be arranged on one side of the tobacco storage box 1 to arrange the entire cleaning device for the tobacco storage box above the tobacco storage box 1 and guide the lifting of the cleaning mechanism 10. The second driving member 32 is arranged on the guide frame 31. The transmission structure 33 is arranged on the guide frame 31. The input part of the transmission structure 33 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 32, and the output part of the transmission structure 33 is connected to the cleaning mechanism 10 to drive the cleaning mechanism 10 to lift.

[0068] Optionally, the second driving member 32 is a driving structure such as a motor, which is not specifically limited here.

[0069] Optionally, the transmission structure 33 in this embodiment is a chain transmission structure 33, and the two sprockets of the chain transmission structure 33 are spaced apart on both sides of the guide frame 31 along the vertical direction, one of the two sprockets is connected to the output end of the second driving member 32, and the other is arranged on the guide frame 31 and away from the second driving member 32, and the chain is sleeved on the outer periphery of the two sprockets, and the cover plate 162 of the cleaning mechanism 10 is fixedly connected to the chain so as to be driven by the chain to be lifted and lowered.

[0070] Furthermore, the cover plate 162 is provided with a plurality of slide blocks, and the guide frame 31 is provided with slideways. The slide blocks and the slideways are slidably connected in a one-to-one correspondence to guide the lifting movement of the cleaning mechanism 10 .

[0071] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, two guide frames 31 are provided, and the two guide frames 31 are respectively arranged on both sides of the tobacco storage box 1. Sliders are provided at both ends of the cover plate 162, and the two slides are respectively slidably connected to the corresponding slideways to improve the stability of the lifting and lowering drive of the cleaning mechanism 10.

[0072] In this embodiment, the visual detection member 20 includes a camera and an image analysis structure, both of which are connected to the frame, the camera is used to photograph the internal situation of the tobacco storage box 1, and the image analysis structure is used to detect the tobacco adhesion situation in the photographed picture.

[0074] It is understandable that the visual inspection component 20 can be a commonly used visual inspection structure, and the tobacco leaf adhesion situation can be inspected by setting an image analysis program, which will not be described in detail here.

[0075] Furthermore, the cleaning device for the tobacco storage box also includes a control system, which is electrically connected to the cleaning mechanism 10, the lifting mechanism 30 and the visual detection member 20 to achieve online control of each structure, thereby achieving information acquisition and control of each movement in each structure. It is understandable that the control system can use the original control device of the production line or set up another control device, and input the corresponding control program, which are all common knowledge in the field and will not be repeated here.

[0076] This embodiment also provides a method for cleaning a tobacco storage box, which adopts the cleaning device for a tobacco storage box described in any of the above schemes, and includes the beneficial effects of all the schemes of the cleaning device for a tobacco storage box, which will not be repeated here.

[0077] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Specifically, the cleaning method for a tobacco storage box comprises the following steps:

[0078] Step S10: Control the lifting mechanism 30 to drive the cleaning mechanism 10 to move toward the tobacco storage box 1 until it reaches the initial position. Figure 2 Then control the cleaning mechanism 10 in the drive assembly 16 to drive the cleaning panel 11 toward the bottom of the tobacco storage box 1 to move to the working position, such as Figure 3 That is, the entire cleaning mechanism 10 is first controlled to move toward the tobacco storage box 1, and then the cleaning panel 11 is controlled to move toward the bottom of the tobacco storage box 1, so as to better perform blowing and cleaning.

[0079] It should be noted that the initial position is the position where the cover plate 162 covers the opening of the tobacco storage box 1 ; the working position is the position where the cleaning panel 11 is close to the bottom of the tobacco storage box 1 .

[0080] Specifically, the second driving member 32 drives the cover 162 to move toward the tobacco storage box 1 until the cover 162 stops covering the opening of the tobacco storage box 1, and then controls the first driving member 163 to drive the cleaning panel 11 to move toward the bottom of the tobacco storage box 1 until it reaches the working position. At this time, the purge pipe 12 and the dust suction pipe 13 are both located at the position of the tobacco leaves closest to the bottom of the tobacco storage box 1.

[0081] After step S10, step S20 is also included, controlling the cleaning mechanism 10 to blow and clean the tobacco accumulated in the tobacco storage box 1 in all areas in sequence at a first preset wind force and a preset time, and resetting the cleaning mechanism 10. Thus, preliminary cleaning of the tobacco storage box 1 is achieved.

[0082] It should be noted that the first preset wind force is a preset wind force to achieve the purpose of loosening most of the tobacco leaves stuck in the tobacco storage box 1, so that they will not stick and will not cause damage to the interior of the tobacco storage box 1. The preset time is a preset blowing time, which can be sufficient to completely vacuum the loose tobacco leaves.

[0083] Specifically, first turn on the air source, control the purge port 121 of the purge pipe 12 to purge the tobacco leaves stuck in the tobacco storage box 1 with a first preset wind force, and purge for a preset time, then turn off the air source, turn on the negative pressure device, and control the dust suction port 131 of the dust suction pipe 13 to vacuum the blown tobacco leaves, thereby completing the preliminary cleaning of the tobacco leaves.

[0084] Step S20 also includes step S30, controlling the visual detection component 20 to detect tobacco accumulation inside the tobacco storage box 1. If tobacco accumulation still exists, step S40 is performed; if no tobacco accumulation is found, step S50 is performed; thereby realizing the inspection of the inside of the tobacco storage box 1 and avoiding the problem of rework caused by incomplete cleaning.

[0085] Specifically, the tobacco accumulation inside the tobacco storage box 1 is photographed by the camera of the visual detection member 20, and then the image analysis structure is used to analyze whether there are any areas that have not been cleaned and perform the subsequent steps.

[0086] After step S30, step S40 is also included, driving the cleaning panel 11 to move to the working position again, blowing and cleaning the area with tobacco accumulation at a second preset wind force and a preset time, the second preset wind force is greater than the first preset wind force, resetting the cleaning mechanism 10, and returning to step S30; strong blowing and cleaning of the uncleaned area can be achieved, thereby achieving cleaning of the uncleaned area.

[0087] It should be noted that the second preset wind force is a preset wind force to be implemented, which is greater than the first preset wind force, so as to loosen the tobacco leaves in the area with serious accumulation, prevent them from sticking, and avoid damage to the internal tobacco storage box 1.

[0088] Specifically, the purging and cleaning process of this step is similar to step S20 and will not be repeated here.

[0089] Step S30 is followed by step S50, in which the operation is stopped, so that the cleaning is completed and the tobacco leaves in the tobacco storage box 1 are ensured to be cleaned.

[0090] The cleaning method for the tobacco storage box of the present embodiment first performs a first blow and a first clean on the tobacco accumulated in the tobacco storage box 1 as a whole, then detects the uncleaned area through the visual detection part 20, and performs a second blow and a second clean on the area with enhanced wind force, thereby cleaning the tobacco accumulated in the tobacco storage box 1 with better cleaning effect, and realizing automatic cleaning operation.

[0091] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.
