[0046] In the related technology, the function of the cigarette box turning machine is to pick up the cigarette box and turn it nearly 180 degrees, so that the tobacco inside it can be poured into the silo. The tobacco in the silo is transported to the production process through other equipment. The turning machine and the cigarette box are used in conjunction to realize the cross-regional flow of tobacco. However, in actual production, due to the gravity accumulation of tobacco inside the cigarette box during the circulation process, and the fact that the tobacco contains a certain amount of moisture, some tobacco is still adhered to the bottom of the box after the box is turned over, and will not fall into the silo. It will flow with the cigarette box to the subsequent process for cleaning. According to the production process requirements of the workshop, the cleaned tobacco will be downgraded or scrapped, resulting in waste of tobacco.

[0047] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a tobacco purging device and a tobacco purging system, which includes a purging mechanism, and when the cigarette box on the box turning mechanism is finished unloading, it moves into the cigarette box and cleans the inside of the cigarette box. In this way, the box turning mechanism and the purging mechanism are used in conjunction, and after the cigarette box is finished unloading, the purging mechanism can be used in time to clean the inside of the cigarette box, so that the tobacco adhered to the bottom of the cigarette box can be used on the spot, thereby improving the utilization rate of the tobacco, and at the same time, it helps to improve the flexibility in the unloading and cleaning process, and improve the user experience.

[0048] The following will be combined Figures 1 to 3 The specific structure of the tobacco purging system provided in the embodiment of the present application is described.

[0049] An embodiment of the present application provides a tobacco purging system, including a box turning mechanism and a tobacco purging device.

[0050] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the box turning mechanism 600 includes a fixed portion 610 and a flipping portion 620. The fixed portion 610 is used to overlap the material receiving port 710 of the silo 700, and the flipping portion 620 is used to clamp the cigarette box 800 and drive the cigarette box 800 to flip relative to the fixed portion 610, so that the material in the cigarette box 800 can be poured into the silo 700 through the material receiving port 710.

[0051] It should be noted that the box turning mechanism 600 is a mechanical device, which is mainly used to realize the turning action of boxes (such as material boxes and cargo boxes) to complete operations such as dumping and transferring materials.

[0052] For example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixing part 610 provides a stable support base for the entire box turning action. For example, in the tobacco purging system, the fixing part 610 overlaps the material receiving port 710 of the silo 700 to ensure stability when turning over the cigarette box 800. Exemplarily, the fixing part 610 can be a fixed baffle, which is arranged around the material receiving port 710 of the silo 700, which helps to play a certain enclosure role in the material receiving process and reduce the loss of tobacco during the unloading process.

[0053] Exemplarily, the flipping part 620 is used to clamp the box to be flipped (such as a cigarette box) and drive the box to flip relative to the fixed part 610. The flipping part 620 has various structural designs, and common ones include mechanical arm type, chain type, hydraulic drive type, etc. Its power source can be electric, hydraulic or pneumatic, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0054] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixing bracket 100 of the tobacco shred blowing device is arranged on the fixing part 610, and exposes the material receiving opening 710. In this way, the tobacco shred blowing device can accurately blow the tobacco shreds at the material receiving opening 710, improve the cleaning effect of the tobacco shreds, and ensure the quality of the tobacco shreds.

[0055] The following will be combined Figures 4 to 10 The specific structure of the tobacco purging device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described.

[0056] In the present application, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the tobacco purging device includes a fixed bracket 100 and a purging mechanism 200. The fixed bracket 100 is installed on the box turning mechanism 600. The purging mechanism 200 is movably arranged on the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100 and reciprocates relative to the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100. The purging mechanism 200 is configured to move into the cigarette box 800 and clean the inside of the cigarette box 800 when the cigarette box 800 on the box turning mechanism 600 completes unloading.

[0057] For example, the fixed bracket 100 can be a baffle, which is arranged around the material receiving port 710 and can enclose the tobacco in the unloading process to reduce the loss of tobacco. For example, the purge mechanism 200 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0058] In this embodiment, the fixed bracket 100 is installed on the box turning mechanism 600 to provide a stable support structure for the purging device, so that it can be firmly set on the box turning mechanism 600, thereby ensuring that the purging mechanism 200 can accurately clean the cigarette box 800.

[0059] In the present embodiment, since the purge mechanism 200 is movably arranged on the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100 and reciprocates relative to the inner wall, the fixed bracket 100 plays a role in the motion trajectory of the purge mechanism 200, and provides a guide for the movement of the purge mechanism 200, so that it can clean inside the smoke box 800 according to a predetermined path, ensuring the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the cleaning, avoiding the purge mechanism 200 from moving or offsetting randomly, thereby improving the cleaning effect and achieving full coverage cleaning of the bottom surface of the smoke box 800.

[0060] Therefore, in this embodiment, by using the box turning mechanism 600 and the purging mechanism 200 in combination, after the cigarette box 800 completes unloading, the purging mechanism 200 can be used to continuously clean the inside of the cigarette box 800 so that the tobacco adhered to the bottom of the cigarette box 800 can be used on the spot, thereby improving the utilization rate of the tobacco. At the same time, it helps to improve the flexibility of the unloading and cleaning process and enhance the user experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 As shown, the fixed bracket 100 is a hollow frame structure and is composed of a plurality of fixed edges 110 ; at least two fixed edges 110 are arranged opposite to each other, and the purge mechanism 200 is movably connected to the two opposite fixed edges 110 .

[0062] It is understandable that the frame structure of the middle shell means that there is a certain amount of space inside the fixed bracket 100, which helps to provide a spatial basis for the activities of the purge mechanism 200, and also helps to reduce the weight of the fixed bracket 100 and save materials.

[0063] Exemplarily, at least two fixed edges 110 are arranged relative to each other, providing installation positions and support points for the movable connection of the purge mechanism 200. Through this relative arrangement, the balance and stability of the purge mechanism 200 during the activity can be ensured, so that it can move back and forth along the relative fixed edges 110.

[0064] In some embodiments, the number of the fixed edges 110 may include four, and the four fixed edges 110 are parallel in pairs and connected end to end to enclose a closed area, and the purge mechanism 200 moves in the closed area.

[0065] In this embodiment, the fixed bracket 100 is a closed frame structure, which limits the activity space of the purge mechanism 200 and constrains its movement within a specific range, which is conducive to ensuring that the movement trajectory of the purge mechanism 200 is relatively stable and controllable.

[0066] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4As shown, the number of fixed edges 110 may include three, wherein two fixed edges 110 are arranged in parallel, and another fixed edge 110 is connected to the ends of the same side of the two parallel fixed edges 110 , and the other ends of the two fixed edges 110 form an open structure 120 .

[0067] For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the fixing bracket 100 in this embodiment can be a "U"-shaped structure.

[0068] Such a design reduces the weight of the fixing bracket 100 to a certain extent and reduces the amount of material used; moreover, the design of the open structure 120 makes the structure of the fixing bracket 100 flexible to a certain extent, and can better adapt to different sizes and shapes and smoke boxes 800, and meet diverse production needs within a certain range.

[0069] Among them, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the open structure 120 is located on one side of the fixed bracket 100 close to the flipping end of the box turning mechanism 600. In this way, necessary space is provided for the cigarette box 800 during the flipping process, so that the cigarette box 800 can avoid interference when the box turning mechanism flips the cigarette box 800, thereby effectively avoiding interference between the fixed bracket 100 and the cigarette box 800, thereby ensuring the smooth unloading process of the tobacco, reducing equipment failures and downtime caused by interference, and improving the operating efficiency of the device.

[0070] In this embodiment, the fixing bracket 100 including three fixing edges 110 is mainly used as an example for description.

[0071] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 As shown, it can also include a supporting mechanism 300, which is movably connected to the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100 and reciprocates along the first direction relative to the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100; the purge mechanism 200 is arranged on the supporting mechanism 300 and is movably connected to the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100 through the supporting mechanism 300.

[0072] For example, the first direction can refer to Figures 4 to 8 As shown by the arrow X direction. Figure 5 and Figure 6 It is a structural schematic diagram of the carrying mechanism moving to different positions along the first direction.

[0073] Among them, on the one hand, the bearing mechanism 300 plays the role of an intermediate carrier, not only supporting the purge mechanism 200, but also driving the purge mechanism 200 to move relative to the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100, thereby realizing the cleaning of the smoke box 800. On the other hand, through the setting of the bearing mechanism 300, the purge mechanism 200 obtains more degrees of freedom, so that the purge mechanism 200 can clean the smoke box 800 in a larger range. Compared with being directly connected to the fixed bracket 100, the purge mechanism 200 can adjust its position more flexibly, can cover more areas in the smoke box 800, and improve the comprehensiveness and effect of cleaning.

[0074] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the fixing bracket 100 may be provided with a slideway, and the end of the bearing mechanism 300 may be connected to a sliding mechanism 400, and the sliding mechanism 400 slides back and forth in the slideway along the first direction.

[0075] Exemplarily, the sliding mechanism 400 may be a sliding block.

[0076] The formation method of the slideway is not limited. For example, the slideway is formed by milling the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100 with a milling cutter; or, for some fixed brackets 100 made of metal plates, a stamping process can be used to form the slideway; or, a pre-processed slideway component (such as a standard guide rail profile) is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100 by bolt connection, welding or other methods to form the required slideway. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0077] Among them, the cooperation between the sliding mechanism 400 and the slide can effectively limit the movement direction of the supporting mechanism 300, reduce the shaking and deviation during operation, and improve the movement accuracy of the supporting mechanism 300, thereby ensuring that the purge mechanism 200 installed on the supporting mechanism 300 can more accurately clean the specific area in the smoke box 800, thereby improving the consistency and reliability of the cleaning effect.

[0078] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 As shown, the supporting mechanism 300 may be composed of a plurality of guide rails arranged at intervals, and the purge mechanism 200 slides back and forth relative to the supporting mechanism 300 along the second direction.

[0079] The design of multiple guide rails provides a basic platform for support and movement for the purge mechanism 200 . Meanwhile, the spaced arrangement helps to optimize space utilization and reduce the weight of the supporting mechanism 300 .

[0080] For example, the second direction can refer to Figures 4 to 8 As shown by the arrow X direction. Figure 7 and Figure 8It is a structural schematic diagram of the purge mechanism moving to different positions relative to the supporting mechanism along the second direction.

[0081] Since the purge mechanism 200 can slide back and forth along the second direction relative to the supporting mechanism 300, and the supporting mechanism 300 can move along the first direction of the inner wall of the fixed bracket 100, the purge mechanism 200 can move in two mutually perpendicular (or different directions) dimensions. This multi-dimensional movement mode greatly increases the cleaning coverage of the purge mechanism 200 on the inside of the cigarette box 800, and can more comprehensively remove the residual tobacco, dust and impurities in every corner of the cigarette box 800, thereby improving the thoroughness and effect of cleaning.

[0082] Exemplarily, the method of driving the purge mechanism 200 to slide may be: Exemplarily, an electric screw is installed on one side or both ends of the support mechanism 300, and the electric screw is composed of a motor, a screw and a nut. The motor drives the screw to rotate, and the nut moves linearly along the screw, connecting the purge mechanism 200 with the nut. When the motor rotates, the nut drives the purge mechanism 200 to slide back and forth along the second direction on the support mechanism 300 (guide rail).

[0083] Alternatively, a linear electrode may be used as a driving source, and the purge mechanism 200 may be connected to the mover part of the linear motor. When the linear motor is powered on, the mover will drive the purge mechanism 200 to perform reciprocating linear motion along the second direction on the guide rail of the carrier mechanism 300. Alternatively, it may be driven by a cylinder, one end of which is fixed to the carrier mechanism 300, and the other end is connected to the purge mechanism 200. When compressed air is alternately introduced into the air inlet and the air outlet of the cylinder, the piston of the cylinder will perform reciprocating linear motion, thereby driving the purge mechanism 200 to slide along the second direction on the guide rail of the carrier mechanism 300. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0084] In some embodiments, reference Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a support platform 500 may also be included. The support platform 500 is slidably disposed on the carrying mechanism 300 , and the purge mechanism 200 is disposed on the support platform 500 .

[0085] Among them, the support platform 500 acts as an intermediate carrier, used to support the purge mechanism 200, so that the purge mechanism 200 slides adjacent to the carrying mechanism 300; through the setting of the support platform 500, the position and movement of the purge mechanism 200 can be adjusted by sliding the support platform 500 on the carrying mechanism 300.

[0086] In addition, the impact force generated by the purge mechanism 200 during movement can also be buffered and dispersed to a certain extent through the support platform 500, which helps to share part of the weight of the purge mechanism 200 and the load generated by the movement, protect the purge mechanism 200, the supporting mechanism 300 and the fixed bracket 100 and other related components, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0087] For example, there is no limitation on the sliding mode of the support platform 500 and the carrying mechanism 300. For example, the support platform 500 may be provided with a buckle, and connected to the carrying mechanism 300 through the buckle. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0088] In some embodiments, the purge mechanism 200 may be provided with an air supply pipe, and connected to an air supply source through the air supply pipe; the air supply source is configured to supply air to the purge mechanism 200 through the air supply pipe. In this way, the air supply source provides gas to the air supply pipe, so that the gas enters the purge mechanism 200, and the purge mechanism 200 sprays the compressed air supply into the smoke box 800 after the purge mechanism 200 is actuated, thereby cleaning the smoke box 800.

[0089] In some embodiments, reference Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the number of the purge mechanisms 200 may include multiple ones, and the multiple purge mechanisms 200 are connected in sequence. For example, adjacent purge mechanisms 200 may be connected by mechanical connection, such as by bolts, slots, etc., to ensure that they can work together during the working process.

[0090] Exemplarily, when multiple purge mechanisms 200 are included, an air supply pipe can be provided on each purge mechanism 200, and a reversing valve can be provided on the air supply pipe. When the reversing valve is switched to a corresponding state and the gas flows to the air supply pipe corresponding to one of the purge mechanisms 200, the gas supply source provides gas to the air supply pipe, so that the gas enters the corresponding purge mechanism 200. After the purge mechanism 200 is actuated, the compressed air supply is sprayed into the smoke box 800, thereby cleaning the smoke box 800.

[0091] In this way, the design of the reversing valve can flexibly adjust the cleaning mode according to actual conditions, thereby improving the adaptability of the cleaning device to different working conditions.

[0092] The working process of the tobacco purging system provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0093] Reference Figures 1 to 3 After the box turning mechanism 600 turns over the cigarette box 800, the cigarette box 800 is lifted to a high position; Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the tobacco purging device starts the purging mechanism 200 to supply air and extend it, and reciprocates relative to the first direction and the second direction in turn, and the purging mechanism 200 continuously purges the tobacco at the bottom of the cigarette box 800; Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the purge is finished, the purge mechanism 200 stops working, and the purge mechanism 200 retracts.

[0094] This embodiment provides a tobacco purging device and a tobacco purging system, which include a purging mechanism, and when the tobacco box on the box turning mechanism is finished unloading, it moves into the tobacco box and cleans the inside of the tobacco box. In this way, the purging mechanism of the present application is used in conjunction with the box turning mechanism, and after the tobacco box is finished unloading, the inside of the cigarette box can be cleaned in time, so that the tobacco adhered to the bottom of the cigarette box can be used on the spot, thereby improving the utilization rate of the tobacco, improving the cleaning effect of the tobacco, and being more flexible, which improves the user experience.

[0095] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0096] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
