[0037] This embodiment provides an on-line adjustable track system, which can adjust the track in real time, avoid the phenomenon of track deviation, reduce production failures, improve production efficiency and save costs.

[0038] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the on-line adjustable track system mainly includes a base 100, an adjustment assembly 200, a locking clamp 300 and a track 400; wherein, the fixed end of the adjustment assembly 200 is connected to the base 100, the driving end of the adjustment assembly 200 is drivingly connected to the locking clamp 300, and the locking clamp 300 clamps the track 400; the adjustment assembly 200 can drive the locking clamp 300 to rotate in the plane where the first direction and the second direction are located, and / or the adjustment assembly 200 can drive the locking clamp 300 to move up and down in the third direction; the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0039] It should be noted that the first direction is the Figure 1 X-axis direction in Figure 1 the Figure 1 Z-axis direction in

[0040] Based on the above design, in this embodiment, the locking clamp 300 can clamp the track 400. When the track 400 deviates in the horizontal direction or in the vertical height direction, the adjustment assembly 200 can rotate or lift to adjust the position of the locking clamp 300 in real time on-line, thereby realizing the adjustment and correction of the position of the track 400, ensuring that the parallelism of the track 400 is within a reasonable range, avoiding abnormal phenomena such as deviation of the track 400, reducing production failures, improving production efficiency, and achieving the purpose of cost saving.

[0041] Optionally, a material cart is arranged on the track 400 in this embodiment, and the material cart is slidably connected to the track 400 to facilitate the transmission of materials.

[0042] The online adjustment track system in this embodiment further includes a monitoring component 500 and a control assembly. The monitoring component 500 is installed beside the track 400, and the monitoring component 500 is configured to monitor the parallelism of the track 400. Both the monitoring component 500 and the adjustment component 200 are electrically connected to the control assembly. The monitoring component 500 can send the monitored parallelism data of the track 400 to the control assembly. The control assembly compares and processes the monitored parallelism data of the track 400 by the monitoring component 500 with the preset parallelism data of the track 400, then calculates the difference in the parallelism of the track 400 (including the height difference and the angle difference), and performs real-time online adjustment on the adjustment component 200 based on the difference data to ensure that the parallelism of the track 400 is within a reasonable range, avoid abnormal phenomena such as the deviation of the track 400, reduce production failures, and there is no need to shut down the online adjustment track system, thereby improving production efficiency and achieving the purpose of cost savings.

[0043] Exemplarily, the monitoring component 500 in this embodiment can be set as a common CCD camera or laser lamp on the market to monitor the parallelism of the track 400 in real time. The control assembly is a common control device with a PLC control circuit in the prior art, and the control circuit and control principle of the control assembly will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0044] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the adjustment component 200 in this embodiment includes a rotating motor 210, a telescopic rod 220, and a lifting motor (not shown in the figure). The fixed end of the rotating motor 210 is connected to the telescopic rod 220, and the driving end of the rotating motor 210 is connected to the locking clip 300. The rotating motor 210 can drive the locking clip 300 to rotate in the plane where the first direction and the second direction are located; one end of the telescopic rod 220 away from the rotating motor 210 is connected to the base 100, and the lifting motor is drivingly connected to the telescopic rod 220, and the telescopic rod 220 drives the rotating motor 210 to move up and down.

[0045] The rotating motor 210 drives the locking clip 300 to rotate, so that the locking clip 300 can drive the track 400 to rotate in the plane where the first direction and the second direction are located, thereby realizing the adjustment of the deviation angle of the track 400. The lifting motor drives the telescopic rod 220, so that the telescopic rod 220 can extend or shorten, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the track 400. In other words, the adjustment component 200 can adjust the deviation angle and the vertical height of the track 400 in two dimensions, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the adjustment of the track 400.

[0046] As Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, a reset button 110 is provided on the base 100. The reset button 110 is electrically connected to both the rotation motor 210 and the lifting motor. The reset button 110 is configured to reset the rotation motor 210 and the lifting motor. After the rotation motor 210 and the lifting motor are reset, at this time, the rotation motor 210 and the lifting motor are in the initial set state, and the operator can manually adjust the rotation motor 210 and the lifting motor and remove them. In other words, the reset button 110 can release the pre-tightening force of the rotation motor 210 and the lifting motor during maintenance, so that the track 400 returns to the initial set state, facilitating the maintenance and repair of the on-line adjustable track system.

[0047] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the locking clip 300 in this embodiment includes a connecting portion 310 and two clamping portions 320. The two clamping portions 320 are both connected to the connecting portion 310. The two clamping portions 320 and the connecting portion 310 form a clamping space, and the rotation motor 210 is drivingly connected to the connecting portion 310; a part of the track 400 is arranged in the clamping space and is clamped by the two clamping portions 320, thereby realizing the locking function between the locking clip 300 and the track 400. The arrangement of the two clamping portions 320 can improve the stability and reliability of the locking clip 300 for clamping the track 400, improve the force condition of the track 400, and improve the stability of the track 400.

[0048] Optionally, the on-line adjustable track system in this embodiment further includes a plurality of clamping cylinders (not shown in the figure). Each clamping portion 320 is configured with at least one clamping cylinder, and the clamping cylinder can drive the clamping portion 320 to clamp the track 400.

[0049] Optionally, the two clamping portions 320 and the connecting portion 310 can be drivingly connected, and the two clamping portions 320 are driven to move relatively or away from each other by the clamping cylinder, thereby realizing the clamping or loosening of the track 400.

[0050] Optionally, the two clamping portions 320 in this embodiment are both located on the same side of the connecting portion 310, and the two clamping portions 320 are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the connecting portion 310. This can improve the stability and reliability of the two clamping portions 320 for clamping the track 400, and avoid or reduce the phenomenon of stress concentration on the track 400.

[0051] Optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the track 400 in this embodiment is in an "I" shape, which saves costs and is convenient to directly obtain in the market.

[0052] As Figures 1 - 3As shown, in this embodiment, the on-line adjustment track system further includes a vibration sensor 600, a strain gauge 700, and a power supply 900. The vibration sensor 600 is disposed on the track 400 and is configured to monitor the vibration frequency of the track 400, that is, to monitor the vibration generated by the material truck on the track 400. The strain gauge 700 is disposed on the track 400 and is configured to monitor the stress received by the track 400, that is, to monitor the pressure of the material truck on the track 400. The vibration sensor 600, the strain gauge 700, and the monitoring component 500 are all electrically connected to the power supply 900 so that the power supply 900 can supply electrical energy to the vibration sensor 600, the strain gauge 700, and the monitoring component 500 to ensure the normal operation of the on-line adjustment track system.

[0053] Optionally, the vibration sensor 600 in this embodiment can be disposed on the side of the track 400, and the strain gauge 700 can be disposed in the joint rail gap 410 on the track 400. It can be understood that the joint rail gap 410 refers to an appropriate gap reserved at the joint of the track 400, mainly to provide room for the thermal expansion and contraction of the track 400.

[0054] Exemplarily, the model of the vibration sensor 600 can be set to X23S10, X231S50, X231S20, etc.

[0055] Exemplarily, the model of the strain gauge 700 can be set to BSF120-3AA-T, BSF120-6AA-T, BSF120-2BB-T, etc.

[0056] As Figures 1 - 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the on-line adjustment track system further includes a floor 800, and the base 100 is disposed on the floor 800. The floor 800 is made of stainless steel to avoid corrosion. The power supply 900 can be disposed on the floor 800, thereby improving the integration of the on-line adjustment track system. The power supply 900 can also be disposed on the wall to reduce the floor area occupied by the on-line adjustment track system.

[0057] This embodiment also provides a tobacco production device, which includes a material truck (not shown in the figure) and the above on-line adjustment track system. The material truck is slidably connected to the track of the on-line adjustment track system, and materials for producing tobacco or other items to be transported can be placed in the material truck.

[0058] Optionally, the material truck can be set to one; it can also be set to multiple, and multiple material trucks are connected in series by hooks.

[0059] Since the tobacco production device has the above on-line adjustment track system, the tobacco production device can reduce production failures, improve production efficiency, and achieve the purpose of cost savings.
