Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tobacco machinery, and in particular to an aerosol generating product manufacturing device and an aerosol generating product manufacturing process. Background Art

[0002] Aerosol-generating products refer to products that can generate aerosols for smokers to inhale (e.g., cigarettes). At present, traditional cigarettes are rolled and formed by a rolling and joining machine, and the tobacco segment and the filter rod segment are joined together by a joining device of the rolling and joining machine to form a conventional two-segment structure.

[0003] Heated cigarettes are a new type of cigarette that has emerged in recent years. During use, heated cigarettes only need to be heated without burning them, thus avoiding the generation of harmful substances due to high-temperature combustion. Although heated cigarettes and traditional cigarettes are both cigarettes, heated cigarettes are different from the two-stage structure of traditional cigarettes. Currently, heated cigarettes at home and abroad are often composed of multiple sections of materials (usually three or four sections). Precisely because of the structural differences between heated cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, it is impossible to directly prepare heated cigarettes through the rolling and connecting units of traditional cigarettes. In addition, heated cigarettes of different brands and types have certain differences in structure, such as heated cigarettes with a three-stage structure and heated cigarettes with a four-stage structure. At the same time, the manufacturing and processing routes of heated cigarettes are usually varied.

Detailed Description of the Embodiments

[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to", "mounted on", or "disposed on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or indirectly disposed on the other component; when one component "is connected to" another component, or a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or indirectly connected to the other component.

[0035] It should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0036] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" and "several" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically and clearly defined.

[0037] It should be noted that the structures, ratios, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings of this specification are only used to cooperate with the content disclosed in the specification for those skilled in this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the implementation conditions of the present application. Therefore, they do not have a substantial technical meaning. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size, without affecting the efficacy that the present application can produce and the purpose that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope covered by the technical content disclosed in the present application.

[0038] The present invention provides an aerosol generating article manufacturing device, which includes a feeding part and a tipping part; the feeding part is located in front of the tipping part and is used to convey a base rod to be tipped to the tipping part; the tipping part is used to pick up the rod stock to be tipped and tip and form the rod stock to be tipped; wherein, a plurality of base rod modules for providing base rods are arranged in the feeding part, and the base rod module adjacent to the tipping part is the first base rod module, and the base rods in the feeding part are transmitted to the tipping part through the first base rod module. The aerosol generating article manufacturing device adopts a modular structure, and is docked with the tipping part through the first base rod module in the feeding part, and the base rods in the feeding part are uniformly transmitted to the tipping part by the first base rod module, so that the number of base rod modules can be increased according to requirements in front of the first base rod module, so as to adapt to the manufacture of different aerosol generating articles, with high flexibility, and can also adapt to the production and manufacture of aerosol generating articles with different process routes.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 , in an embodiment, an aerosol generating article manufacturing device 100 is provided, which adopts a modular design, and the manufacture and production of aerosol generating articles with different process routes and different structures can be realized by increasing or decreasing the number of base rod modules. Specifically, in an embodiment, the aerosol generating article manufacturing device 100 is a wheeled composite tipping device. More specifically, in an embodiment, the aerosol generating article manufacturing device 100 is mainly a heated tobacco product manufacturing device, which can better meet the requirements of the changing processing process route of heated tobacco products and can manufacture heated tobacco products with different specifications and structures according to requirements.

[0040] The aerosol generating article manufacturing device 100 includes a feeding part 10 and a tipping part 20. The feeding part 10 is located in front of the tipping part 20 and is used to convey a base rod to be tipped to the tipping part 20. Wherein, in this application, "front side" and "rear side" are referenced based on the conveying direction of the base rod in the device. For example, when component A is on the front side of component B, the base rod used for conveying between component A and component B first flows through component A and then through component B. Similarly, when component A is on the rear side of component B, the base rod used for conveying between component A and component B first flows through component B and then through component A. In addition, "front side" and "rear side" do not mean that the two components are adjacent, but that the two components can be adjacent or separated (other components can also be arranged between the two components).

[0041] The feeding part 10 is mainly used for the processing and feeding of the base rods. After the base rods are processed into base rods of the required length, various base rods are arranged to form the base rods to be twisted and wrapped, and then the base rods to be twisted and wrapped are sent into the twisting and splicing part 20. The twisting and splicing part 20 is mainly used for twisting and splicing the base rods to be twisted and wrapped. The paper is twisted and wrapped around the outer periphery of the base rods to be twisted and wrapped, so as to form a complete product.

[0042] It should be noted that the base rods to be twisted and wrapped provided by the feeding part 10 can be of single-length or multi-length structures. For example, when the product to be produced is of a three-section structure, the base rods to be twisted and wrapped provided by the feeding part 10 to the twisting and splicing part 20 can only contain three base rods, so that the finished product can be directly formed after twisting and splicing by the twisting and splicing part 20; it can also be that the base rods to be twisted and wrapped provided by the feeding part 10 to the twisting and splicing part 20 can contain five base rods (wherein, the middle base rod is a double-length base rod, for example, distributed in the form of "single-length first base rod - single-length second base rod - double-length third base rod - single-length second base rod - single-length first base rod"), so that the product formed after twisting and splicing by the twisting and splicing part 20 is a product of double length, and it still needs to be cut to form the finished product; even, the base rods to be twisted and wrapped provided by the feeding part 10 to the twisting and splicing part 20 can also contain more base rods in multiples, so that the product formed after subsequent twisting and splicing is a product of triple length or longer length, and it still needs to be cut multiple times to form the finished product. Similarly, when the product to be produced is of a four-section (or more) structure, the base rods to be twisted and wrapped provided by the feeding part 10 can be of a four-section (or more), seven-section (or more)... structure.

[0043] A plurality of base rod modules 11 for providing base rods are provided in the feeding part 10. Among them, the base rod module 11 adjacent to the twisting and splicing part 20 among the plurality of base rod modules 11 is the first base rod module 1101, and the base rods in the feeding part 10 are transmitted to the twisting and splicing part 20 through the first base rod module 1101. That is to say, the base rods provided by each of the base rod modules 11 in the feeding part 10 finally converge into the first base rod module 1101, and are uniformly transmitted to the twisting and splicing part 20 by the first base rod module 1101.

[0044] It can be understood that the existing cigarette making and tipping units are mainly for the production of conventional cigarettes. Conventional cigarettes usually have a two - section structure, and currently, one cigarette making and tipping unit can only produce according to one processing route. However, heated cigarettes are different from the two - section structure of traditional cigarettes. Currently, common heated cigarettes usually consist of multiple sections of materials (usually three or four sections), and there are certain differences in the structures of different brands and types of heated cigarettes. At the same time, the manufacturing and processing routes of heated cigarettes are usually variable. The existing cigarette making and tipping units for conventional cigarettes can no longer meet the manufacturing requirements of multi - section aerosol - generating articles, especially the manufacturing requirements of heated cigarettes.

[0045] The aerosol - generating article manufacturing device 100 provided in this embodiment adopts a modular design. The first base rod module 1101 uniformly transfers the base rods to the tipping part 20. When it is necessary to change the production process route or manufacture aerosol - generating articles with other specifications and structures, only the number of base rod modules 11 in the feeding part 10 needs to be increased or decreased, and then the transformation of the production process route or the manufacture of aerosol - generating articles with new specifications can be completed, with high flexibility.

[0046] Preferably, in one embodiment, multiple base rod modules 11 are arranged in sequence, and the base rods in the front - side base rod module 11 are transferred to the rear - side base rod module 11. That is to say, in this embodiment, when the base rod modules 11 in the feeding part 10 transfer the base rods, the transfer is carried out in sequence from front to back, so that the transfer of the base rods can be realized more orderly. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1 、 5 、7, each base rod module 11 is arranged horizontally in sequence. The base rods of the upstream base rod module 11 are transferred to the downstream base rod module 11 for convergence, and then the downstream base rod module 11 transfers the converged base rods backward until they are transferred to the first base rod module 1101, and the first base rod module 1101 uniformly transfers the base rods to the tipping part 20.

[0047] Preferably, in one embodiment, the base bar module 11 adjacent to the front side of the first base bar module 1101 and close to the first base bar module 1101 is the second base bar module 1102, and the second base bar module 1102 is used to transfer the second base bar to the first base bar module 1101. After the first base bar module 1101 picks up the second base bar, the second base bar is merged with the first base bar in the first base bar module 1101 and then transferred to the splicing part 20. Among them, the second base bar and the first base bar can be base bars of different types. That is to say, in this embodiment, the first base bar module 1101 is not only used for transferring base bars, but also for merging various types of base bars.

[0048] It should be noted that the first base bar can be a common base bar (a base bar of a single type of bar stock) or a composite base bar (a base bar composed of multiple types of bar stocks). In addition, the first base bar can also be of single-length or multi-length. Similarly, the second base bar can be a common base bar or a composite base bar. In addition, the second base bar can also be of single-length or multi-length.

[0049] More preferably, in one embodiment, the second base bar module 1102 can transfer the second base bar with twice the length to the first base bar module 1101. The second base bar with twice the length is first slit and separated by a slitting drum in the first base bar module 1101. Then the first base bar module 1101 imports the first base bar with twice the length between the two slit second base bars to achieve the merging of the first base bar and the second base bar, and then transfers it to the splicing part 20, so that the splicing part 20 splices out a product with twice the length. Or the second base bar with twice the length can also be directly slit and separated in the second base bar module 1102 first, and then the two spaced second base bars are directly transferred to the first base bar module 1101.

[0050] Such as Figure 1As shown, specifically, in one embodiment, only the first base rod module 1101 and the second base rod module 1102 are provided in the feeding part 10. The combination of the first base rod module 1101, the second base rod module 1102 and the splicing part 20 can realize the production and manufacturing of heated cigarettes with a two-component composite process. According to the types of rod materials contained in the first base rod and the second base rod, two-component composite production and manufacturing under multiple different process routes can be realized, such as "2 + 2", "1 + 2", "2 + 1", "1 + 3" or "3 + 1", etc. Among them, "1" in "1 + 2" refers to the number of types of rod materials in the first base rod, and "2" refers to the number of types of rod materials in the second base rod. The same applies to other process routes. That is to say, "2" and above all represent that this base rod is a composite base rod of multiple types rather than an ordinary base rod. As Figure 2 , 3 , as shown in Figure 4, the three figures are heated cigarettes produced and manufactured through the two-component composite "2 + 2", "1 + 3", and "3 + 1" process routes respectively.

[0051] Preferably, in one embodiment, the plurality of base rod modules 11 further include a third base rod module 1103 located in front of the second base rod module 1102. That is to say, in this embodiment, at least three base rod modules 11 are provided in the feeding part 10. The third base rod module 1103 is used to transfer the third base rod to the second base rod module 1102. Among them, the third base rod, the second base rod, and the first base rod can be base rods of different types. The second base rod module 1102 is used to transfer the second base rod and the third base rod to the first base rod module 1101; after receiving the second base rod and the third base rod, the first base rod module 1101 converges the second base rod, the third base rod and the first base rod and then transfers them to the splicing part 20.

[0052] More preferably, in one embodiment, when the third base rod is transferred to the second base rod module 1102, the second base rod and the third base rod can be converged and centered by the second base rod module 1102 first and then transferred to the first base rod module 1101.

[0053] Preferably, in one embodiment, the third base rod module 1103 can transfer the third base rod with twice the length to the second base rod module 1102. The third base rod with twice the length is first slit by the slitting drum in the second base rod module 1102 and then separated. The second base rod module 1102 then inserts the second base rod with twice the length between the two slit third base rods to achieve the confluence of the third base rod and the second base rod, and then transfers it to the first base rod module 1101. Alternatively, the third base rod with twice the length can also be directly slit and separated in the third base rod module 1103 first, and then the two spaced third base rods are directly transferred to the second base rod module 1102.

[0054] As Figure 5 shown, specifically, in one embodiment, only the first base rod module 1101, the second base rod module 1102, and the third base rod module 1103 are provided in the feeding part 10. The combination of the first base rod module 1101, the second base rod module 1102, and the third base rod module 1103 with the splicing part 20 can realize the production and manufacturing of heated cigarettes by the ternary composite process. As Figure 6 shown, the heated cigarettes produced and manufactured by the ternary composite "1 + 1 + 1" process route.

[0055] Preferably, in one embodiment, among the multiple base rod modules 11, there is also a fourth base rod module 1104 located in front of the third base rod module 1103. That is to say, in this embodiment, at least four base rod modules 11 are provided in the feeding part 10. The fourth base rod module 1104 is used to transfer the fourth base rod to the third base rod module 1103. Among them, the fourth base rod, the third base rod, the second base rod, and the first base rod can be base rods of different types. The third base rod module 1103 is used to transfer the third base rod and the fourth base rod to the second base rod module 1102. The second base rod module 1102 is used to transfer the second base rod, the third base rod, and the fourth base rod to the first base rod module 1101; after the first base rod module 1101 picks up the second base rod, the third base rod, and the fourth base rod, it converges the second base rod, the third base rod, and the fourth base rod with the first base rod and then transfers them to the splicing part 20.

[0056] Preferably, in one embodiment, when the fourth base rod is transferred to the third base rod module 1103, the third base rod and the fourth base rod can be first converged and centered by the third base rod module 1103 and then transferred to the second base rod module 1102.

[0057] Preferably, in one embodiment, the fourth base rod module 1104 can transfer the fourth base rod with twice the length to the third base rod module 1103. The fourth base rod with twice the length is first slit by a slitting drum in the third base rod module 1103 and then separated. The third base rod module 1103 then imports the third base rod with twice the length between the two slit fourth base rods to achieve the confluence of the fourth base rod and the third base rod, and then transfers it to the second base rod module 1102. Alternatively, the fourth base rod with twice the length can also be directly slit and separated in the fourth base rod module 1104 first, and then the two spaced fourth base rods can be directly transferred to the third base rod module 1103.

[0058] Preferably, in one embodiment, the feeding part 10 further includes a pre-twisting and splicing module 12. The pre-twisting and splicing module 12 is located on the front side of the first base rod module 1101 and between the two base rod modules 11. That is to say, the pre-twisting and splicing module 12 is not located at the most upstream or the most downstream in the feeding part 10. The pre-twisting and splicing module 12 is used to pick up the base rods transferred by the upstream base rod module 11, pre-twist and wrap the base rods into a shape, and then transfer the base rods to the first base rod module 1101. The purpose of setting the pre-twisting and splicing module 12 is to perform a single twisting and wrapping on multiple base rods transferred from the upstream, so as to form an integral base rod. By pre-twisting and wrapping and then transferring it to the rear side, it is not easy for the base rods to move relative to each other, and it can be more stable when the first base rod module 1101 converges and transfers later. At the same time, it is also beneficial for the twisting and splicing part 20 to twist and wrap the base rods into a shape.

[0059] It can be understood that when there are multiple base rod modules 11 in the feeding part 10, if the pre-twisting and splicing module 12 is not provided, it is necessary to perform a one-time twisting and wrapping on each base rod in the subsequent twisting and splicing part 20 (for example, ternary compounding or quaternary compounding at one time). However, this puts higher requirements on the stability of the twisting and splicing part 20, and it will also cause a significant decrease in the finished product yield in the actual production process. The main reason is that: by performing the twisting and wrapping at one time through the twisting and splicing part 20, it is not easy to ensure that the tipping paper is symmetrically twisted and wrapped around the center of the base rod to be twisted without deviation. As a result, after the twisting and wrapping by the twisting and splicing part 20, there is likely to be an axial misalignment between the tipping paper and the base rod to be twisted, one end of the tipping paper exceeds the required wrapping position of the base rod to be twisted, while the other end does not cover the required wrapping position of the base rod to be twisted, and there is a white exposure at the other end of the base rod to be twisted.

[0060] In this embodiment, by setting the pre-twisting and splicing module 12, some of the base rods can be pre-twisted and spliced first, so that the number of segments to be twisted and wrapped in the subsequent twisting and splicing part 20 can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the twisting and wrapping and the finished product yield.

[0061] In addition, after years of development, the tipping and linking machine sets for traditional cigarettes have good stability and efficiency in the process of producing cigarettes. At present, when the tipping and linking machine sets for traditional cigarettes are tipping, the tipping paper is not fully tipped. Moreover, when the traditional tipping and linking machine sets are tipping, the double-length filter tip section is in the middle, and the two ends are tobacco sections.

[0062] And through the setting of the pre-tipping and linking module 12, the tipping and linking part 20 can also be made to use the same or similar process as that of the existing traditional cigarettes for tipping and wrapping as much as possible, so as to further improve the stability.

[0063] As Figure 7 shown, specifically, in an embodiment, the feeding part 10 is provided with the first base rod module 1101, the second base rod module 1102, the third base rod module 1103, the fourth base rod module 1104 and the pre-tipping and linking module 12. The pre-tipping and linking module 12 is arranged between the first base rod module 1101 and the second base rod module 1102. The second base rod module 1102 converges the second base rod, the third base rod and the fourth base rod and then transfers them into the pre-tipping and linking module 12. Through the pre-tipping and linking module 12, the second base rod, the third base rod and the fourth base rod are tipped and wrapped to form an integral base rod and then transferred into the first base rod module 1101. Through the combination of the first base rod module 1101, the second base rod module 1102, the third base rod module 1103, the fourth base rod module 1104, the pre-tipping and linking module 12 and the tipping and linking part 20, the production and manufacturing of heated cigarettes with a four-component composite process can be realized. As Figure 8 shown, the heated cigarettes produced by the four-component composite "1 + 1 + 1 + 1" process route.

[0064] The following will describe the specific structure of the pre-tipping and linking module 12: Please refer to Figure 9 , preferably, in an embodiment, the pre-tipping and linking module 12 includes a pre-tipping and linking drum wheel assembly and a pre-tipping and linking paper feeding assembly. The pre-tipping and linking drum wheel assembly includes a pre-tipping and linking approaching wheel 122 and a pre-tipping and linking tipping wheel 123 arranged in sequence. The pre-tipping and linking approaching wheel 122 is mainly used to axially approach each base rod to avoid gaps between adjacent base rods. The pre-tipping and linking tipping wheel 123 is mainly used to tip and wrap the paper around the outer periphery of each base rod to form an integral base rod.

[0065] Among them, a number of U-shaped material grooves are provided on the pre-twisting and approaching wheel 122. The width of the material groove is slightly larger than the diameter of a single base rod, and a negative pressure hole is machined in each material groove. After the equipment is started, negative pressure is generated in the negative pressure hole to adsorb the base rod in the material groove. As the pre-twisting and approaching wheel 122 rotates, the base rod is taken away and transferred downward. In this equipment, other subsequent drums also transfer the base rod in this form, which is a well-known drum transfer method in the art and will not be elaborated hereinafter. In addition, the functional naming of each drum in this equipment represents that there is a corresponding structure on the drum or a corresponding structure is provided on the side of the drum. For example, the pre-twisting and cigarette-rolling wheel 123 represents that there is a corresponding rolling structure (i.e., the pre-twisting and rolling plate device 1231) at the drum, so as to realize the rolling function; the pre-twisting and approaching wheel 122 represents that there is a corresponding approaching structure at the drum, so as to realize the axial mutual approaching function of the base rods; this is well-known in the art and will not be elaborated hereinafter. In addition, in this application, a corresponding frame, control system, air supply system, etc. are provided in each module or part to meet the corresponding requirements, which is also well-known in the art and does not involve the core improvement points of this application and will not be elaborated hereinafter.

[0066] The pre-twisting paper supply assembly is used to supply paper to the pre-twisting drum assembly. The pre-twisting paper supply assembly cuts the paper into pieces of the required length and applies glue, and then the pre-twisting and cigarette-rolling wheel 123 wraps the paper pieces around the circumferential surface of the base rod.

[0067] Among them, the pre-twisting and approaching wheel 122 is used to realize the end face approaching of multi-segment materials with gaps between each other after the combination of the previous several base rod segments, that is, to eliminate the gaps between the base rod segments, and paste the tipping paper pieces cut and coated with glue by the pre-twisting paper supply assembly on the multi-segment combined base rod. Then, the pre-twisting and cigarette-rolling wheel 123 and the pre-twisting and rolling plate device 1231 wrap and twist the multi-segment base rod with the tipping paper pieces pasted thereon into a pre-twisted base rod.

[0068] Preferably, in one embodiment, the pre-twisting drum assembly further includes a pre-twisting base rod detection wheel 124, which is disposed on the front side of the pre-twisting tobacco rolling wheel 123. The pre-twisting base rod detection wheel 124 is used to detect the absence of the base rod section and whether the length of the base rod section transmitted from the upstream module is qualified. When the pre-twisting base rod detection wheel 124 detects the absence of a base rod section (or an abnormality in the length of a single base rod section) among multiple base rods in the same row transmitted from the upstream module, it outputs a corresponding signal, and then the subsequent drum rejects the row of base rods, avoiding further processing of the row of base rods, thereby improving the yield of the finished product. For example, the rejection structure can be arranged in the pre-twisting tobacco rolling wheel 123. When the pre-twisting base rod detection wheel 124 detects a problem with a row of base rods, when the row of base rods is transmitted to the pre-twisting tobacco rolling wheel 123, the pre-twisting tobacco rolling wheel 123 changes to an instantaneous positive pressure at the corresponding position, so as to blow off and reject the row of problematic base rods, avoiding subsequent processing.

[0069] Preferably, in one embodiment, the pre-twisting drum assembly further includes a pre-twisting cutting wheel 125 and a double-turning head wheel 126. The pre-twisting cutting wheel 125 is located behind the pre-twisting tobacco rolling wheel 123, and the double-turning head wheel 126 is located behind the pre-twisting cutting wheel 125. Among them, the pre-twisting cutting wheel 125 is used to equally cut the pre-twisted base rod after being pre-twisted by the pre-twisting tobacco rolling wheel 123, and the double-turning head wheel 126 is used to turn and reverse the two pre-twisted base rods after cutting, realizing the interchange of the positions of the two end faces of the pre-twisted base rod after cutting and separating them by a certain distance, so as to facilitate the combination with the base rods of the subsequent base rod module 11. That is to say, in this embodiment, the pre-twisting module 12 first performs pre-twisting of double length, and then cuts the pre-twisted base rod, so as to form two pre-twisted base rods of the same length and transmit them backward synchronously, thereby improving production efficiency. Through this structure, it can cooperate with the processing of multi-length base rods in subsequent equipment. For example, through this structure, it can provide double-length base rods to be pre-twisted to the splicing part 20, so as to cooperate with the subsequent splicing part 20 to splice double-length base rods to be pre-twisted.

[0070] Specifically, in one embodiment, the double-turning head wheel 126 rotates the pre-twisted "group of cigarettes" that have been equally cut into front and rear branches in the same chute by 180° at the same time, so that the cigarette core section originally in the middle position becomes the front and rear sides.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 12, preferably, in one embodiment, a plurality of independent glue barrels 12011 are provided in the gluing system 1201 of the pre-twisting and splicing paper feeding assembly. Different glues are stored in each glue barrel 12011, and at least one nozzle 12012 is connected to each glue barrel 12011. Thus, during pre-twisting and splicing, different glues can be sprayed onto different positions of the paper through different nozzles 12012, so as to better adapt to the wrapping of different base rods.

[0072] It can be understood that usually only a single glue is used in the gluing system of the current conventional splicing device, because the current conventional splicing device is designed for traditional cigarettes, and traditional cigarettes usually have a two-section structure, and a single glue can meet the wrapping of traditional cigarettes. However, the heated cigarette includes multiple sections of base rod materials, and the material characteristics of different functional sections vary greatly, resulting in the inability to adapt to the characteristic requirements of different functional section materials during the wrapping process, and the wrapping quality is poor.

[0073] In this embodiment, a plurality of glue barrels 12011 are provided, and different characteristic glues are stored in each glue barrel 12011. Each glue barrel 12011 is independently connected to the nozzle 12012, and each glue barrel 12011 transports the glue to the nozzle 12012 through a separate pipeline, so as to ensure that the glues will not be mixed during transportation, and different characteristic glues can be sprayed onto the paper, thereby better meeting the bonding requirements of different functional section materials in the heated cigarette and improving the wrapping quality.

[0074] , preferably, in one embodiment, a glue pump 12013 is correspondingly provided for each glue barrel 12011. The glue pump 12013 can be specifically arranged on the pipeline connected to the glue barrel 12011, and the glue is transported to the nozzle 12012 by the power provided by the glue pump 12013.

[0075] , preferably, in one embodiment, a weight sensor 12017 is provided in each glue barrel 12011, so as to monitor the remaining amount of glue in the glue barrel 12011. When the remaining amount of glue is lower than the set value, the system can automatically alarm to prompt adding glue.

[0076] , preferably, in one embodiment, the gluing system 1201 further includes a glue pressure adjusting unit 12014. A glue pressure adjusting unit 12014 is correspondingly provided for each nozzle 12012. The glue pump 12013 pumps the glue out of the glue barrel 12011, and after passing through the glue pressure adjusting unit 12014, it is transported to the corresponding nozzle 12012 through the pipeline at a set glue pressure.

[0077] Preferably, in one embodiment, the gluing system 1201 further includes a control unit 12016, and the control unit 12016 can be connected to corresponding components in the gluing system 1201 (such as the glue pressure regulating unit 12014). The control unit 12016 can be a programmable logic controller or an industrial computer, and can adjust the glue pressure regulating unit 12014 to control the glue spraying amount through the signal fed back by the glue amount detection module.

[0078] Preferably, in one embodiment, the gluing system 1201 further includes a glue surface detection sensor 12015, and the glue surface detection sensor 12015 is connected to the control unit 12016. The glue surface detection sensor 12015 is used to detect the thickness of the glue film on the tipping paper, and feed back the signal to the control unit 12016, and then the control unit 12016 adjusts the corresponding glue pressure adjustment unit 12014 in real time according to the thickness of the glue film, controls the glue output amount of the corresponding nozzle 12012, and ensures that the glue spraying effect of each glue coating area on the tipping paper meets the requirements.

[0079] As shown Figure 10 and 11 As shown, specifically, in one embodiment, the gluing system 1201 is provided with five glue barrels 12011 and five nozzles 12012, so that glue can be sprayed on five areas (12021, 12022, 12023, 12024, 12025) of the paper 1202, so that the paper 1202 can better adapt to the five sections of the base rod (12031, 12032, 12033, 12034, 12035) of the pre-wrapped base rod 1203.

[0080] It is understandable that when there are sections of the same material on the base rod to be wrapped, glue with the same characteristics can be sprayed. In this case, one glue barrel 12011 can be connected to multiple nozzles 12012 to achieve the spraying of glue with the same characteristics. Alternatively, multiple glue barrels 12011 can store glue with the same characteristics. The specific selection can be made according to actual needs. Just spray the corresponding glue on the paper according to the characteristics of the different sections on the base rod.

[0081] Please continue reading Figure 9 Preferably, in one embodiment, the front side of the pre-twisting and connecting base rod detection wheel 124, the front side of the pre-twisting and connecting approaching wheel 122, the front side of the pre-twisting and connecting slitting wheel 125, and the rear side of the double turning wheel 126 are respectively provided with pre-twisting and connecting transfer wheels 121, and these transfer wheels do not implement any processing process flow, but only realize the base rod transfer function and leave enough space for the layout of the lines, pipelines and control units on the back of the equipment.

[0082] The specific structure of the twisting and splicing part will be described as follows: Please refer to Figure 12 , preferably, in one embodiment, the twisting and splicing part 20 includes a twisting and splicing drum assembly and a twisting and splicing paper feeding assembly. The twisting and splicing drum assembly includes a twisting and splicing approaching wheel 22, a twisting and splicing cigarette rolling wheel 23, and a cigarette discharging wheel group 24 arranged in sequence. The twisting and splicing approaching wheel 22 is mainly used to axially approach each base rod to avoid gaps between adjacent base rods. The twisting and splicing cigarette rolling wheel 23 is mainly used to twist the paper around the outer periphery of each base rod to form an integral product. The cigarette discharging wheel group 24 is mainly used to send the twisted product backward.

[0083] The twisting and splicing paper feeding assembly is used to supply paper to the twisting and splicing cigarette rolling wheel 23. The twisting and splicing paper feeding assembly cuts the paper into pieces of required length and applies glue, and then the twisting and splicing cigarette rolling wheel 23 twists the paper pieces around the circumferential surface of the base rod to be twisted.

[0084] , preferably, in one embodiment, the twisting and splicing drum assembly further includes a twisting and splicing base rod detection wheel 25, and the twisting and splicing base rod detection wheel 25 is located in front of the twisting and splicing cigarette rolling wheel 23. The twisting and splicing base rod detection wheel 25 is used to detect the absence of the base rod section and whether the length of the base rod section in the base rod to be twisted transmitted from the upstream module is qualified. When the twisting and splicing base rod detection wheel 25 detects the absence of the base rod section (or the abnormality of the length of a single base rod section) in the base rod to be twisted transmitted from the upstream module, it outputs a corresponding signal, and then the subsequent drum rejects the base rod to be twisted, avoiding further processing of the base rod to be twisted, thereby improving the yield of finished products. For example, the rejecting structure can be arranged in the twisting and splicing cigarette rolling wheel 23. When the twisting and splicing base rod detection wheel 25 detects a problem with a certain base rod to be twisted, when the base rod to be twisted is transmitted to the twisting and splicing cigarette rolling wheel 23, the twisting and splicing cigarette rolling wheel 23 changes to an instantaneous positive pressure at the corresponding position, so as to blow off and reject the row of problematic base rods to be twisted, avoiding subsequent processing.

[0085] , preferably, in one embodiment, the twisting and splicing drum assembly further includes a detection wheel group 26 and a waste rejecting wheel 27. The detection wheel group 26 is located behind the twisting and splicing cigarette rolling wheel 23, and the waste rejecting wheel 27 is located behind the detection wheel group 26. The detection wheel group 26 and the waste rejecting wheel 27 together form a set of detection systems for detecting whether the twisted product meets the quality standards. The qualified ones are continuously transmitted backward, and the unqualified ones are rejected by the instantaneous positive pressure in the negative pressure holes at the waste rejecting wheel 27. Among them, the number and type of detection wheels arranged in the detection wheel group 26 can be selected according to actual detection requirements.

[0086] Preferably, in one embodiment, the detection wheel set 26 includes an end face detection wheel 261, an appearance detection wheel 262, a LEO detection wheel 263, and a HID detection wheel 264 arranged in sequence. The end face detection wheel 261 is mainly used to detect indicators such as whether the two ends of the product are sunken, loose at the head, and the fullness of tobacco filling. The appearance detection wheel 262 is mainly used to detect whether there are defects on the product appearance. The LEO detection wheel 263 is mainly used to detect the end face depression, loose head, and empty head of the product. The HID detection wheel 264 is mainly used to detect physical indicators such as the draw resistance, ventilation, and air leakage of the product.

[0087] Preferably, in one embodiment, the tipping drum assembly further includes a sampling wheel 28. Along the rotation direction of the reject wheel 27, the reject wheel 27 is sequentially provided with a feeding position 271, a sampling position 272, and a discharging position 273. The sampling wheel 28 is located at the sampling position 272 and behind the rejection position of the reject wheel 27. That is to say, the sampling wheel 28 is arranged in the position area between the feeding and discharging of the reject wheel 27 and is also behind the rejection position. When the equipment is running normally, the reject wheel 27 picks up the product from the feeding position 271 and transfers it backward, rejects the detected defective products during the transfer process, and transfers the qualified products backward through the discharging position 273. At this time, the sampling wheel 28 may not run, and no sample is taken at this time. When it is necessary to sample and detect the quality situation, the sampling wheel 28 can be turned on, and samples can be collected through the sampling wheel 28. The sampling wheel 28 is mainly used to check the quality of the product or to check whether the rejection of the reject wheel 27 is accurate. For example, through system settings, the sampling wheel 28 samples defective cigarette sticks with a certain appearance quality defect. If the sampled products are the set waste cigarette types, it means that the equipment rejection and sampling systems are accurate, thereby verifying the operation accuracy of the equipment. If the sampled products are not the required products, it indicates that the rejection is inaccurate, which means that the equipment may cause mis-rejection during operation, rejecting the qualified finished products while missing the rejection of defective products and transporting them to the downstream packing machine, which will result in a large number of defective products (usually when the packing machine finds that the defective products are caused by the upstream equipment, all the products in a certain period will be regarded as defective products). By setting the sampling wheel 28, self-check sampling can be carried out, which can better ensure the reliability and accuracy of the equipment operation and avoid the generation of a large number of defective products during the production process.

[0088] Preferably, in one embodiment, the splicing drum wheel assembly further includes a splicing slitting wheel 29 and a turning wheel 210. The splicing slitting wheel 29 is located behind the splicing and rolling wheel 23, and the turning wheel 210 is located behind the splicing slitting wheel 29. Among them, the splicing slitting wheel 29 is used to slit the product after being spliced by the splicing and rolling wheel 23, while the turning wheel 210 is used to turn the direction of a row of products after slitting, so as to ensure that the final output products are all in the same direction, which is convenient for subsequent packaging. That is to say, in this embodiment, the splicing part 20 first performs double-length wrapping, and then slits the wrapped product, so as to form two sections of wrapped products to be synchronously conveyed backward, which can improve production efficiency.

[0089] Specifically, in one embodiment, the detection wheel set 26 is located behind the splicing slitting wheel 29, and the turning wheel 210 is located behind the detection wheel set 26. More preferably, in one embodiment, a splicing part separation wheel 220 is further provided between the splicing slitting wheel 29 and the detection wheel set 26. The splicing part separation wheel 220 is mainly used to axially separate the two products after slitting by a certain distance, so as to facilitate subsequent detection and turning and other processes.

[0090] Specifically, in one embodiment, the turning wheel 210 is located behind the reject wheel 27, and the turning wheel 210 uses a conical drum to turn the direction of the product. Specifically, the turning wheel 210 may include a discharging wheel 2101 and a conical drum 2102. It can be understood that the two rows of single-length qualified products sent out from the reject wheel 27 are still mirror-distributed when they are conveyed to the discharging wheel 2101 and cannot be directly discharged. When the two rows of single-length products are conveyed to the discharging wheel 2101, one row is normally conveyed backward, and the other row is sent into the conical drum 2102. After being turned around by the conical drum 2102, it is sent back into the discharging wheel 2101 and merged with a row in the discharging wheel 2101 to form a row of single-length products with the same orientation. The products after turning around return to the discharging wheel 2101 and continue to be conveyed backward.

[0091] In addition, in other embodiments, the twisting and joining part 20 can only perform twisting and wrapping of double length without cutting the product, but directly output the product of double length. That is, the twisting and cutting wheel 29 and the turning wheel 210 are not provided at the rear side of the twisting and joining tobacco wheel 23, but the product of double length is directly output through the cigarette outlet wheel group 24 after twisting and wrapping without cutting. It can be understood that the length of the heated cigarette is generally about 45 mm. Compared with the traditional cigarette, the length of the heated cigarette is shorter. When the heated cigarette is sent from the cigarette outlet drum 24 to the conveyor belt device and is conveyed in the conveyor belt device, there is a risk that the cigarette rod lies horizontally, resulting in the cigarette rod being easily blocked and piled up in the conveying channel of the conveyor belt device, thus affecting the production efficiency of the whole cigarette making and packaging line. In this embodiment, the twisting and joining part 20 performs twisting and wrapping of double length, and subsequent cutting is not performed in the twisting and joining part 20, so that a heated cigarette of double length of about 90 mm can be directly output. In the subsequent conveying process, the phenomenon that the cigarette rod lies horizontally can be better avoided, the stability of cigarette outlet can be improved, and the problems such as blockage and accumulation of the cigarette rod at the end of the device can be better avoided.

[0092] Preferably, in one embodiment, the cigarette outlet wheel group 24 includes an intermediate wheel 241, a low-position cigarette outlet wheel 242, a cigarette conveying wheel 243 and a high-position cigarette outlet wheel 244 arranged in sequence, and the installation height of the high-position cigarette outlet wheel 244 is higher than that of the low-position cigarette outlet wheel 242. Among them, along the rotation direction of the low-position cigarette outlet wheel 242, the low-position cigarette outlet wheel 242 is sequentially provided with a feeding area, a conveying area and a discharging area, the intermediate wheel 241 is located at the feeding area, and the cigarette conveying wheel 243 is located at the conveying area. That is to say, in this embodiment, the cigarette outlet wheel group 24 can realize cigarette outlet at two positions of high / low. When the cigarette is discharged at the low position, the cigarette conveying wheel 243 and the high-position cigarette outlet wheel 244 do not run and thus do not function. When high-position cigarette outlet is required, the cigarette conveying wheel 243 and the high-position cigarette outlet wheel 244 run, the low-position cigarette outlet wheel 242 becomes a conveying wheel, and the cigarette conveying wheel 243 and the high-position cigarette outlet wheel 244 realize high-position cigarette outlet.

[0093] Among them, when low-position cigarette outlet is selected, components such as the drive shafts, bearing seats, air distribution seats, and drum wheels of the cigarette conveying wheel 243 and the high-position cigarette outlet wheel 244 can not be installed, and the corresponding bearing seat holes are sealed by covers to avoid negative pressure leakage. When it is necessary to change to high-position cigarette outlet later, the corresponding components are installed. That is to say, when the cigarette is discharged at the low position, the installation positions can be reserved on the main wallboard in advance for easy transformation. In this way, if you want to change from low-position to high-position cigarette outlet later, it can be realized at the lowest cost, with the lowest time and material costs.

[0094] It is understandable that conventional cigarette rolling and splicing units can only discharge smoke at one height, and with the gradual development of technology, the improvement of downstream equipment will have new requirements for the height of smoke discharge. In addition, with the expansion of the production scale of the cigarette factory or the optimization of the production process, the layout of the workshop equipment may also need to be replanned. In this embodiment, the height of the smoke discharge can be changed according to demand, so as to better maintain a reasonable spatial relationship and production connection with the surrounding equipment, maintain the coordinated operation of the overall production line and the stability of product quality.

[0095] The number of the smoke conveying wheels 243 can be increased in groups, so as to increase the smoke outlet height of the high-position smoke outlet wheel 244 , and the number can be selected according to actual needs.

[0096] Preferably, in one embodiment, a splicing transfer wheel 21 is provided in front of the splicing and approaching wheel 22. Similarly, these transfer wheels do not implement any processing process, but only realize the base rod transfer function and leave enough space for the layout of the lines, pipelines and control units on the back of the equipment.

[0097] Preferably, in one embodiment, a reduction wheel 230 is provided on the front side of the splicing and slitting wheel 29 .

[0098] Similarly, when the base rods to be wrapped in the splicing part 20 have multiple materials, the gluing system of the paper supply assembly of the splicing part 20 can also be provided with multiple glue barrels and multiple nozzles to realize multiple glue spraying, just like the gluing system 1201 in the pre-splicing paper supply assembly. The preferred structure of the gluing system of the paper supply assembly of the splicing part 20 can also adopt the structure of the gluing system 1201, such as the glue pressure adjustment unit 12014, the glue surface detection sensor 12015, the control unit 12016, etc.

[0099] The specific structure of the base rod module 11 is described below: Please refer to Figure 13, preferably, in one embodiment, the base rod module 11 includes a silo and a base rod drum group. The base rod drum group includes a material taking and cutting wheel 111, a first dislocation wheel 112, a first combining wheel 113, and an acceleration and confluence wheel 114 arranged in sequence. The material taking and cutting wheel 111 is arranged at the discharge port of the silo. That is to say, in this embodiment, the base rod module 11 is also used for cutting the base rod. Thus, when providing the base rod, a base rod with multiple times the length can be provided to the base rod module 11, then cut by the base rod module 11, and then conveyed backward, so as to improve the production efficiency. When the base rod module 11 operates, the base rod is taken away and cut by the material taking and cutting wheel 111 from the silo. A cutting knife 1111 can be arranged at the material taking and cutting wheel 111. The number of the cutting knives 1111 can be selected according to actual needs. By changing the number n of the cutting knives 111, the base rod with multiple times the length will be cut into m segments, and the number of segments m = n + 1. The material taking and cutting wheel 111 is connected to the first dislocation wheel 112 and the first combining wheel 113. The first dislocation wheel 112 is used to dislocate and separate the multiple axially juxtaposed segments of the base rod after cutting into multiple rows front and back, while the first combining wheel 113 is used to combine the multiple rows and columns of the base rod after dislocation into one column, and then flow toward the acceleration and confluence wheel 114. The base rod transmitted by the upstream module is confluent with this base rod through the acceleration and confluence wheel 114 for transmission.

[0100] It should be noted that when the base rod module 11 is located at the forefront, the acceleration and confluence function is not required at the acceleration and confluence wheel 114. The acceleration and confluence wheel 114 can adopt an ordinary transmission wheel, and only needs to be able to transmit the base rod.

[0101] Preferably, in one embodiment, the base rod drum set further includes a second cutting wheel 115, a second offset wheel 116, and a second combining wheel 117 arranged in sequence. The second cutting wheel 115 is located behind the first combining wheel 113, and the second combining wheel 117 is located in front of the acceleration converging wheel 114. That is to say, in this embodiment, the base rod module 11 has a secondary cutting structure and can cut the base rod through the first cutting wheel 111 and the second cutting wheel 115 respectively. When the base rod module 11 operates, the base rod is taken away and cut by the material taking and cutting wheel 111 from the material bin. The first offset wheel 112 misaligns and separates the multiple axially juxtaposed segments of the cut base rod into multiple rows front and back, and the first combining wheel 113 combines the misaligned multiple rows and columns of base rods into one column and then transfers them to the second cutting wheel 115. The second cutting wheel 115 performs secondary cutting on the base rod. Then the second offset wheel 116 misaligns and separates the multiple axially juxtaposed segments of the base rod after secondary cutting into multiple rows front and back, and the second combining wheel 117 combines the misaligned multiple rows and columns of base rods into one column and then transfers them to the acceleration converging wheel 114. The acceleration converging wheel 114 converges the base rod transferred from the upstream module with the base rod that has undergone secondary cutting for transfer.

[0102] Specifically, in one embodiment, the second cutting wheel 115 may be provided with only one cutting tool.

[0103] It should be noted that the second cutting wheel 115, the second offset wheel 116, and the second combining wheel 117 can be set according to actual cutting requirements. If a certain base rod module 11 does not require secondary cutting, the second cutting wheel 115, the second offset wheel 116, and the second combining wheel 117 can all be replaced with transfer wheels, and these positions can be only used for the transfer of the base rod.

[0104] Preferably, in one embodiment, a base rod module transfer wheel 1110 is arranged behind the acceleration converging wheel 114, and the base rod flowing out of the acceleration converging wheel 114 is partially transferred to the downstream module through the base rod module transfer wheel 1110.

[0105] Preferably, in one embodiment, the base rod module 11 further includes a separation wheel 118 and an upstream base rod cutting wheel 119, and the separation wheel 118 is located at the front side of the acceleration and merging wheel 114. The upstream base rod cutting wheel 119 is located at the front side of the separation wheel 118, and is used to dock with the upstream module. That is to say, in this embodiment, the base rods transmitted from the upstream module are multiple-length base rods, which will be cut by the upstream base rod cutting wheel 119 and then separated by the separation wheel 118. Specifically, in one embodiment, a cutter is provided in the upstream base rod cutting wheel 119. After the multiple-length base rods in the upstream module flow into the base rod cutting wheel 119, they are cut by the base rod cutting wheel 119, and then the separation wheel 118 separates the two upstream base rods whose end faces are tightly attached by a certain distance, so as to realize the combination of the upstream base rods and the base rods flowing in through the second-in-one wheel 117 at the acceleration and merging wheel 114. Specifically, after the separation wheel 118 separates the two upstream base rods by a certain distance, the base rods flowing in from the second integrated wheel 117 are located in the middle of the two upstream base rods in the acceleration and merging wheel 114. In order to cooperate with subsequent processing, the base rods flowing in from the second integrated wheel 117 are double-length base rods.

[0106] That is to say, in one embodiment, the base rods received by the base rod module 11 from the upstream module are all double-length base rods (in some embodiments, when there are multiple base rod modules 11 upstream, they can also be double-length composite base rods), and the base rods merged in the acceleration and merging wheel 114 are also double-length, thereby further improving production efficiency.

[0107] The slitting wheel for slitting the upstream base rod is arranged in the downstream base rod module 11, mainly considering the modularization of the base rod module 11 and avoiding interference with components on other drum wheels. Since the slitting of double-length base rod segments requires centering, a floating ring approaching device needs to be added to the upstream base rod cutting wheel 119 to ensure that the slitting base rod segments are of equal length. If the slitting wheel is arranged at the base rod module transfer wheel 1110 of the upstream base rod module 11, the floating ring approaching device will interfere with the acceleration merging wheel 114 in the upstream base rod module 11.

[0108] It should be noted that when the base rod module 11 is located at the frontmost side, it is not necessary to set the separation wheel 118 and the upstream base rod cutting wheel 119. In some other embodiments, when the upstream base rod has been cut upstream, the separation wheel 118 and the upstream base rod cutting wheel 119 can be replaced by a transfer wheel, which is only used for base rod transfer.

[0109] The aerosol generating product manufacturing equipment 100 adopts a modular design concept, and can realize the conversion of the whole machine process route through different combinations of modules. Through the flexible combination of the base rod module 11, the pre-rolling module 12, and the rolling part 20, it can realize the production of heated cigarettes with various process routes, and can adapt to the current production of various structures of heated cigarettes, such as binary composite, ternary composite, quaternary composite, quinary composite, etc.

[0110] by Figure 14 As shown in the figure, at the base rod module 11 of the smoking segment, the smoking segment base rods of multiple times the length (12 times the length is shown in the figure) are taken out from the hopper by the material taking and cutting wheel 111. Two cutters are arranged on the material taking and cutting wheel 111. The 12-times-long smoking segment base rod will be cut into three equal-length sections, that is, three axially side-by-side sections of 4-times-long smoking segment base rods. The first offset wheel 112 offsets the three 4-times-long smoking segment base rods into three axially front-to-back rows. The first integrated wheel 113 then offsets the three rows and three columns of 4-times-long smoking segment base rods. The smoking segment base rods are combined into three rows and one column. So far, a column of 12 times longer smoking segment base rods has been processed into a column of 4 times longer smoking segment base rods. A cutter is arranged on the second cutting wheel 115 to cut a column of 4 times longer smoking segment base rods into two columns of 2 times longer smoking segment base rods. The second offset wheel 116 and the second combined wheel 117 have the same functions as before. At the acceleration and merging wheel 114 (or transfer wheel), a column of 12 times longer smoking segment base rods has been processed into a column of 2 times longer smoking segment base rods. Next, through the base rod module transfer wheel 1110, the base rods are transferred to the downstream base rod module 11, that is, the base rod module 11 of the filter segment.

[0111] Within the base rod module 11 of the filter section, a row of twice-length smoke-generating section base rods transferred by the base rod module transfer wheel 1011 of the smoke-generating section is cut into two rows of single-length smoke-generating section base rods by the upstream base rod cutting wheel 119 in the base rod module 11 of the filter section. Then, the two rows of base rods are separated by a certain distance by the separation wheel 118, forming two rows of single-length smoke-generating section base rods spaced at a certain distance. The base rod module 11 of the filter section is also arranged with the material-taking cutting wheel 111, the first dislocation wheel 112, the first combining wheel 113, the second cutting wheel 115, the second dislocation wheel 116, the second combining wheel 117, and the acceleration convergence wheel 114. However, only one cutter (8 times the length in the figure is taken as an example) is arranged at the material-taking cutting wheel 111. A row of 8-times-length filter section base rods is processed into a row of twice-length filter section base rods at the acceleration convergence wheel 114 after cutting, dislocation, combination, re-cutting, re-dislocation, and re-combination. And here, it converges with two rows of single-length smoke-generating section base rods spaced at a certain distance transferred from the previous base rod module, forming a base rod combination of single-length smoke-generating section + twice-length filter section + single-length smoke-generating section. Finally, it is transferred to the tipping section 20 through the base rod module transfer wheel 1110.

[0112] In the tipping section 20, a paper supply assembly is configured to cut the tipping paper into pieces of the required length and apply glue. The base rod combination transferred by the above-mentioned base rod module transfer wheel 1110 continues to be transferred to the tipping transfer wheel 21 of the tipping module and then to the tipping approaching wheel 22. The tipping approaching wheel 22 moves the single-length smoke-generating section + twice-length filter section + single-length smoke-generating section base rod combination spaced at a certain distance towards the middle, eliminating the axial gap of the base rod combination. At the tipping and smoking wheel 23, the approaching base rod combination converges with the cut and glued tipping paper pieces, and tipping is completed under the action of the tipping plate device, forming twice-length heated cigarettes (which can directly emit smoke or be further transferred to the subsequent tipping cutting wheel 29). Then, at the tipping cutting wheel 29, the twice-length heated cigarettes are cut into two rows of single-length heated cigarettes. At this time, the cigarette manufacturing process flow has been completed, but the two rows of heated cigarettes are mirror-symmetrically distributed about the cutting center line, which is not conducive to subsequent conveying and packaging. Therefore, the tipping section separation wheel 220 separates the two rows of heated cigarettes by a certain distance, and then one of the two rows of heated cigarettes is turned around by the turning wheel 210 and converges with the other row, forming a row of heated cigarettes with the filter ends facing the same direction (forward or backward). Finally, the cigarettes are output to the downstream equipment by the smoke outlet wheel group 24 and the cigarette receiving device. And the tipping section 20 also includes a series of transfer drums, detection drums, etc., whose functions are to transfer cigarettes and detect the quality of cigarettes.

[0113] In addition, as Figure 15 and Figure 16 、 Figure 17As shown, the relevant principles of ternary and quaternary composites are similar to those described above.

[0114] The aerosol generating article manufacturing device 100 benefits from a modular design concept, can flexibly respond to changes in the multi-component composite process flow caused by differences in the structure of heated tobacco products, and effectively reduces the equipment R & D and production manufacturing costs as well as the time cost.
