Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tobacco processing technology, and in particular to an atomizing device for adding flavorings to tobacco shreds. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette production process, flavoring tobacco is one of the core steps that determines the sensory quality of cigarettes. By precisely adding flavorings and fragrances to tobacco, the composition of the smoke can be harmonized, the aroma characteristics enhanced, and the taste improved, thereby meeting consumers' demands for cigarette stylization and quality stability.

[0003] The core of flavoring tobacco lies in the uniform application of flavorings and fragrances to the surface of the tobacco in an atomized form through a dual-media atomizing nozzle. The dual-media nozzle uses compressed air as the ejector medium to atomize the liquid into tiny particles that come into contact with and mix with the moving tobacco. Its atomization effect directly determines the uniformity of flavor distribution and the aroma quality of the finished cigarette.

[0004] In traditional equipment, after cleaning the dual-media atomizing nozzle, the particle size of the atomized particles needs to be adjusted using a liquid flow regulating nut, and the atomization angle needs to be adjusted using a gas flow rate regulating nut. Whether the above adjustment process meets the standards is mostly judged by the experience of the staff, which is inefficient and inaccurate.

[0005] In the prior art, Chinese patent [Publication No.: CN118925964A] discloses a method for adjusting cigarette feed nozzles based on visual feedback. This method uses a first camera with long-exposure capability to capture a localized long-exposure image of the upper boundary of the feed nozzle's spray range, and a high-speed camera to capture images of the feed liquid particle size within the spray range. The method then uses both the long-exposure image and the particle size image to determine whether the feed mist meets the set requirements, and adjusts the feed nozzle using a first adjustment mechanism. This effectively solves the problems associated with manual adjustment in traditional equipment.

[0006] However, the first adjustment mechanism of the aforementioned patent requires two motors to adjust the liquid flow rate adjustment nut and the gas flow rate adjustment nut respectively. On the one hand, it requires a large installation space, and on the other hand, the cost is high. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an atomizing device for adding tobacco flavoring, which solves the problems of the prior art, which requires two motors to adjust the liquid flow rate regulating nut and the gas flow rate regulating nut respectively, which requires a large installation space and has a high cost.

[0008] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0009] A tobacco flavoring atomizing device includes a nozzle, a detection mechanism, and a first adjustment mechanism. The detection mechanism detects the atomization angle and atomized particle size of the nozzle. The nozzle includes a main body and a gas flow rate regulator threadedly connected to the main body, and a liquid flow rate regulator threadedly connected to the gas flow rate regulator. The first adjustment mechanism drives the gas flow rate regulator and the liquid flow rate regulator to rotate. The first adjustment mechanism includes a first adjustment motor and a locking assembly. The first adjustment motor is drivenly connected to the liquid flow rate regulator. The locking assembly includes a mounting component, a first locking component, and a second locking component. The first locking component is rotatably mounted on the main body, and the second locking component is rotatably mounted on the liquid flow rate regulator. The mounting component is fixedly mounted on the gas flow rate regulator. Both the first and second locking components are axially slidably connected to the mounting component. When the first locking component is locked to the main body, the second locking component is disengaged from the liquid flow rate regulator. When the second locking component is locked to the liquid flow rate regulator, the first locking component is disengaged from the main body.

[0010] By configuring the above structure, when the testing mechanism detects that the atomized particle size does not meet the standard and adjustment of the nozzle atomized particle size is required, the second locking component locks with the liquid flow regulating component, and then the first regulating motor operates, driving the liquid flow regulating component and the gas flow rate regulating component to rotate synchronously, thereby changing the gas chamber volume of the nozzle and thus changing the nozzle atomized particle size. When the testing mechanism detects that the atomization angle does not meet the standard and adjustment of the nozzle atomization angle is required, the first locking component locks with the main body, and then the first regulating motor operates, driving the liquid flow regulating component to rotate, thereby changing the liquid flow rate of the nozzle and thus changing the nozzle atomization angle. Compared to existing methods, only one first regulating motor is required, effectively reducing the installation space and significantly lowering operating costs.

[0011] Furthermore, a first ranging component is provided between the first locking member and the mounting member, the first ranging component being used to measure the distance between the first locking member and the mounting member; a second ranging component is provided between the second locking member and the mounting member, the second ranging component being used to measure the distance between the second locking member and the mounting member.

[0012] By setting up the above structure, the position of the gas flow rate regulator can be determined by measuring the distance between the first locking member and the mounting member using the first ranging component, thereby controlling the adjustment amount of the gas flow rate regulator. Similarly, the position of the liquid flow rate regulator can be determined by measuring the distance between the second locking member and the mounting member using the second ranging component, thereby controlling the adjustment amount of the liquid flow rate regulator. Compared to controlling the adjustment amount by controlling the rotation angle of the first regulating motor, this effectively improves the adjustment accuracy.

[0013] Furthermore, the first ranging component includes a first force measuring element and a first elastic element. The first force measuring element is fixedly connected to the mounting component. One end of the first elastic element is fixedly connected to the first force measuring element, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first locking component. The first force measuring element is used to measure the elastic force of the first elastic element. The second ranging component includes a second force measuring element and a second elastic element. The second force measuring element is fixedly connected to the mounting component. One end of the second elastic element is fixedly connected to the second force measuring element, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second locking component. The second force measuring element is used to measure the elastic force of the second elastic element.

[0014] By setting up the above structure, the cost of use is effectively reduced compared to existing laser ranging devices.

[0015] Furthermore, multiple connecting rods are fixedly provided at both ends of the mounting component, and multiple through holes are provided on the first locking component and the second locking component. The first locking component and the second locking component are sleeved on the connecting rods through the through holes, and the first elastic component and the second elastic component are respectively sleeved on the multiple connecting rods at both ends of the mounting component.

[0016] By setting the above structure, both the first locking member and the second locking member are axially slidably connected to the mounting member, and the connecting rod can provide support for the first elastic member and the second elastic member, preventing the first elastic member and the second elastic member from twisting during deformation.

[0017] Furthermore, both ends of the connecting rod can be detachably connected to limit blocks.

[0018] By setting up the above structure, the first locking member and the second locking member are prevented from falling off the connecting rod.

[0019] Furthermore, a first limiting ring is fixedly provided at one end of the main body near the mounting component, and the first elastic member is used to make the first locking member abut against the first limiting ring. A second limiting ring is provided on the liquid flow regulating component, and the second elastic member is used to make the second locking member abut against the second limiting ring.

[0020] By setting the above structure, the elastic force of the first elastic element causes the first locking element to abut against the first limiting ring, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the first locking element and the main body. The elastic force of the second elastic element causes the second locking element to abut against the second limiting ring, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the second locking element and the liquid flow regulating element, eliminating the need for an additional limiting structure.

[0021] Furthermore, the first locking member is located on the side of the first limiting ring near the mounting member, the first elastic member is a first compression spring, the second locking member is located on the side of the second limiting ring near the mounting member, the second elastic member is a second compression spring, and both the first force measuring member and the second force measuring member are pressure measuring members.

[0022] By setting the above structure, both the first locking member and the second locking member are located on the side close to the mounting member, which facilitates subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0023] Furthermore, both the first locking element and the second locking element are electromagnet rings. When the first locking element is energized, it locks with the first limiting ring. When the second locking element is energized, it locks with the second limiting ring.

[0024] By setting up the above structure, the structure is simple and the response speed is fast.

[0025] Furthermore, a connecting column is fixedly provided on the liquid flow regulating component, and the output shaft of the first regulating motor is splinedly connected to the connecting column.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a second adjustment mechanism, which comprises a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, a second adjustment motor, and a grating angle detection element. The nozzle, the detection mechanism, and the first adjustment mechanism are all mounted on the first mounting plate. The first mounting plate is rotatably mounted on the second mounting plate. The second adjustment motor is fixedly mounted on the second mounting plate. The output shaft of the second adjustment motor is connected to the first mounting plate via a transmission connection. The second adjustment motor is used to change the rotation angle of the first mounting plate relative to the second mounting plate. The grating angle detection element is used to detect the rotation angle of the first mounting plate relative to the second mounting plate.

[0027] By setting up the above structure, the overall spray angle of the atomizing device can be automatically adjusted, reducing the workload of the staff.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0029] 1. This invention, by setting up a first adjusting motor, a mounting component, a first locking component, and a second locking component, allows for adjustments to the nozzle atomization particle size. When the detection mechanism detects that the atomized particle size does not meet the standard and adjustment of the nozzle atomization particle size is required, the second locking component is locked to the liquid flow rate regulating component, and the first adjusting motor is then activated. This causes the liquid flow rate regulating component and the gas flow rate regulating component to rotate synchronously, changing the gas chamber volume of the nozzle and thus altering the nozzle atomization particle size. Similarly, when the detection mechanism detects that the atomization angle does not meet the standard and adjustment of the nozzle atomization angle is required, the first locking component is locked to the main body, and the first adjusting motor is activated. This causes the liquid flow rate regulating component to rotate, changing the liquid flow rate of the nozzle and thus altering the nozzle atomization angle. Compared to existing methods, only one first adjusting motor is required, effectively reducing the installation space and lowering operating costs.

[0030] 2. This invention, by setting up a first ranging component and a second ranging component, uses the first ranging component to measure the distance between the first locking member and the mounting member, thereby determining the position of the gas flow rate regulator and controlling its adjustment amount. Similarly, the second ranging component measures the distance between the second locking member and the mounting member, thereby determining the position of the liquid flow rate regulator and controlling its adjustment amount. Compared to controlling the adjustment amount by controlling the rotation angle of the first regulating motor, this invention effectively improves the accuracy of the adjustment.

[0031] 3. By setting a connecting rod, a first elastic element, and a second elastic element, the present invention enables the first locking element and the second locking element to be axially slidably connected to the mounting element, and the connecting rod can provide support for the first elastic element and the second elastic element, preventing the first elastic element and the second elastic element from twisting during deformation.

[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, an atomizing device for adding tobacco flavoring according to the present invention includes a nozzle 1, a detection mechanism, and a first adjustment mechanism 2. The detection mechanism (not shown in the figure) is used to detect the atomization angle and atomized particle size of the nozzle 1. Specifically, a high-speed camera is used to capture the atomized particle size, and a camera with long exposure function is used to capture a local long-exposure image of the upper boundary of the spray range. The atomization angle and atomized particle size of the nozzle 1 are then received and calculated by an industrial control computer, and the first adjustment mechanism 2 is controlled to make adaptive adjustments according to the detection structure of the detection mechanism. More detailed structures and working principles have been fully disclosed in the prior art, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0046] In this embodiment, the nozzle 1 includes a main body 11 and a gas flow rate regulator 12 threadedly connected to the main body 11, and a liquid flow rate regulator 13 threadedly connected to the gas flow rate regulator 12. A first adjustment mechanism 2 is used to drive the gas flow rate regulator 12 and the liquid flow rate regulator 13 to rotate. The first adjustment mechanism 2 includes a first adjustment motor 21 and a locking assembly. The first adjustment motor 21 is drivenly connected to the liquid flow rate regulator 13. The locking assembly includes a mounting member 31, a first locking member 32 and a second locking member 33. The first locking member 32 is rotatably mounted on the main body 11, and the second locking member 33 is rotatably mounted on the liquid flow rate regulator 13. The mounting member 31 is fixedly mounted on the gas flow rate regulator 12. The first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33 are axially slidably connected to the mounting member 31. When the first locking member 32 is locked to the main body 11, the second locking member 33 is unlocked from the liquid flow rate regulator 13. When the second locking member 33 is locked to the liquid flow rate regulator 13, the first locking member 32 is unlocked from the main body 11.

[0047] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first regulating motor 21 is electrically connected to the industrial control computer, and the first regulating motor 21 is controlled by the industrial control computer.

[0048] When the testing agency detects that the atomized particle size does not meet the standard and adjustment of the atomized particle size of nozzle 1 is required, the second locking member 33 is locked with the liquid flow regulating member 13, and the first regulating motor 21 is controlled to work, driving the liquid flow regulating member 13 and the gas flow rate regulating member 12 to rotate synchronously, thereby changing the gas chamber volume of nozzle 1 and thus changing the atomized particle size of nozzle 1. When the testing agency detects that the atomization angle does not meet the standard and adjustment of the atomization angle of nozzle 1 is required, the first locking member 32 is locked with the main body 11, and the first regulating motor 21 is controlled to work, driving the liquid flow regulating member 13 to rotate, thereby changing the liquid flow rate of nozzle 1 and thus changing the atomization angle of nozzle 1. Compared with the existing method, only one first regulating motor 21 is required, effectively reducing the installation space required and significantly reducing the operating cost.

[0049] In this embodiment, a first ranging component 41 is provided between the first locking member 32 and the mounting member 31. The first ranging component 41 is used to measure the distance between the first locking member 32 and the mounting member 31. A second ranging component 42 is provided between the second locking member 33 and the mounting member 31. The second ranging component 42 is used to measure the distance between the second locking member 33 and the mounting member 31. In some other embodiments, the adjustment amount can also be controlled simply by controlling the rotation angle of the first adjusting motor 21. In this embodiment, by setting the first ranging component 41 and the second ranging component 42, the position of the gas flow rate regulating component 12 can be determined by measuring the distance between the first locking member 32 and the mounting member 31 using the first ranging component 41, thereby controlling the adjustment amount of the gas flow rate regulating component 12. The position of the liquid flow rate regulating component 13 can be determined by measuring the distance between the second locking member 33 and the mounting member 31 using the second ranging component 42, thereby controlling the adjustment amount of the liquid flow rate regulating component 13. Compared to controlling the adjustment amount by controlling the rotation angle of the first adjusting motor 21, the adjustment accuracy is effectively improved.

[0050] It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33 are electrically connected to the industrial control computer, and the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33 are controlled to work by the industrial control computer.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first ranging component 41 includes a first force measuring element 411 and a first elastic element 412. The first force measuring element 411 is fixedly connected to the mounting component 31. One end of the first elastic element 412 is fixedly connected to the first force measuring element 411, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first locking component 32. The first force measuring element 411 is used to measure the elastic force of the first elastic element 412. The second ranging component 42 includes a second force measuring element 421 and a second elastic element 422. The second force measuring element 421 is fixedly connected to the mounting component 31. One end of the second elastic element 422 is fixedly connected to the second force measuring element 421, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second locking component 33. The second force measuring element 421 is used to measure the elastic force of the second elastic element 422. In some other embodiments, a laser ranging device (such as an infrared ranging sensor) can also be set to measure distance. In this embodiment, by setting a first force measuring element 411, a first elastic element 412, a second force measuring element 421 and a second elastic element 422, the cost of use is effectively reduced compared with the laser ranging device in the prior art.

[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the first force measuring element 411 and the second force measuring element 421 are electrically connected to the industrial control computer, and the first force measuring element 411 and the second force measuring element 421 are controlled by the industrial control computer.

[0053] In this embodiment, multiple connecting rods 311 are fixedly provided at both ends of the mounting member 31. Multiple through holes are provided on the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33, which are sleeved onto the connecting rods 311 through these through holes. The first elastic member 412 and the second elastic member 422 are respectively sleeved onto the multiple connecting rods 311 at both ends of the mounting member 31. In other embodiments, sleeves can be provided at both ends of the mounting member 31, with grooves provided along the length of the sleeves. Corresponding sliders are provided on the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33. The sliders are engaged in the grooves to achieve axial sliding connection between the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33 and the mounting member 31. In this embodiment, by providing connecting rods 311, the connecting rods 311 can provide support for the first elastic member 412 and the second elastic member 422, preventing the first elastic member 412 and the second elastic member 422 from twisting during deformation.

[0054] In this embodiment, both ends of the connecting rod 311 are detachably connected to limit blocks 312 to prevent the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33 from falling off the connecting rod 311. In some other embodiments, the limit blocks 312 may not be provided, and the length of the connecting rod 311 may be set to meet the movement range of the mounting member 31.

[0055] In this embodiment, a first limiting ring 111 is fixedly provided at one end of the main body 11 near the mounting member 31. A first elastic member 412 is used to abut against the first locking member 32 and the first limiting ring 111. A second limiting ring 131 is provided on the liquid flow regulating member 13, and a second elastic member 422 is used to abut against the second locking member 33 and the second limiting ring 131. In some other embodiments, limiting structures can also be provided on the main body 11 and the liquid flow regulating member 13 to achieve a rotational connection between the first limiting ring 111 and the main body 11, and a rotational connection between the second locking member 33 and the liquid flow regulating member 13. In this embodiment, by providing the first limiting ring 111 and the second limiting ring 131, the elastic force of the first elastic member 412 is used to abut against the first limiting ring 111, thereby achieving a rotational connection between the first locking member 32 and the main body 11. The second locking member 33 is brought into contact with the second limiting ring 131 by the elastic force of the second elastic member 422, so that the second locking member 33 and the liquid flow regulating member 13 are rotated and connected without the need for an additional limiting structure.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first locking member 32 is located on the side of the first limiting ring 111 near the mounting member 31, and the first elastic member 412 is a first compression spring. The second locking member 33 is located on the side of the second limiting ring 131 near the mounting member 31, and the second elastic member 422 is a second compression spring. Both the first force measuring member 411 and the second force measuring member 421 are pressure measuring members. Positioning both the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33 near the mounting member 31 facilitates subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0057] In this embodiment, both the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33 are electromagnet rings. When the first locking member 32 is energized, it locks with the first limiting ring 111. When the second locking member 33 is energized, it locks with the second limiting ring 131. This design is simple and has a fast response time. In other embodiments, pneumatic pushers can also be provided on the first locking member 32 and the second locking member 33 to achieve locking of the first locking member 32 and the first locking ring, as well as locking of the second locking member 33 and the second locking ring.

[0058] In this embodiment, a connecting post 132 is fixedly provided on the liquid flow regulating component 13, and the output shaft of the first regulating motor 21 is splinedly connected to the connecting post 132 to realize the transmission connection between the first regulating motor 21 and the liquid flow regulating component 13.

[0059] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0060] When the testing agency detects that the atomized particle size does not meet the standard and it is necessary to adjust the atomized particle size of nozzle 1:

[0061] First, the second locking member 33 is locked to the liquid flow regulating member 13, and the first locking member 32 is disengaged from the main body 11.

[0062] Then, the first regulating motor 21 is controlled to work. The operation of the first regulating motor 21 drives the liquid flow regulating component 13 to rotate. The rotation of the liquid flow regulating component 13 drives the second locking component 33 to rotate. The second locking component 33 drives the mounting component 31 and the first locking component 32 to rotate synchronously through multiple connecting rods 311, so that the mounting component 31 rotates toward or away from the main body part 11, thereby realizing the adjustment of the atomization particle size of the nozzle 1.

[0063] During the above adjustment process, the pressure detected by the first force measuring element 411 provides real-time feedback on the movement distance of the mounting element 31.

[0064] When the testing agency detects that the atomization angle does not meet the standard and it is necessary to adjust the atomization angle of nozzle 1:

[0065] First, the second locking member 33 is disengaged from the liquid flow regulating member 13, and the first locking member 32 is locked to the main body 11.

[0066] Then, the first regulating motor 21 is controlled to work, and the first regulating motor 21 drives the liquid flow regulating component 13 to rotate, thereby causing the liquid flow regulating component 13 to rotate toward or away from the mounting component 31, so as to adjust the atomization angle of the nozzle 1.

[0067] During the above adjustment process, the pressure detected by the second force measuring element 421 provides real-time feedback on the movement distance of the liquid flow regulating element 13.

[0068] Example 2: Figures 5-6 As shown, the atomizing device for adding tobacco flavoring according to the present invention differs from that in Embodiment 1 in that:

[0069] It also includes a second adjustment mechanism, which comprises a first mounting plate 51, a second mounting plate 52, a second adjustment motor 53, and a grating angle detection element 54. The nozzle 1, the detection mechanism, and the first adjustment mechanism 2 are all mounted on the first mounting plate 51. The first mounting plate 51 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting plate 52. The second adjustment motor 53 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting plate 52, and its output shaft is connected to the first mounting plate 51 via a transmission connection. The second adjustment motor 53 is used to change the rotation angle of the first mounting plate 51 relative to the second mounting plate 52, and the grating angle detection element 54 is used to detect the rotation angle of the first mounting plate 51 relative to the second mounting plate 52. Through the second adjustment motor 53, the overall spray direction of the atomizing device is automatically adjusted, reducing the workload of the operators.

[0070] It is understood that in this embodiment, the second adjusting motor 53 and the grating angle detection device 54 are both electrically connected to the industrial control computer in order to control the operation of the second adjusting motor 53 and the grating angle detection device 54.

[0071] In this embodiment, the detection mechanism is installed at the side front of the nozzle 1, which can be either the left front or the right front. It is important to note that the installation area of ​​the detection mechanism should be within the dead angle of the nozzle's maximum atomization angle to avoid the nozzle directly spraying onto the detection mechanism and affecting its normal function.

[0072] In this embodiment, the grating angle detection component 54 includes a circular grating 541 and a reading head 542. The circular grating 541 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the first mounting plate 51, and the axis of the circular grating 541 is collinear with the rotation axis of the first mounting plate 51. The reading head 542 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second mounting plate 52. By reading the value on the circular grating 541 through the reading head 542, the relative angle between the first mounting plate 51 and the second mounting plate 52 can be obtained, so as to control the rotation of the first mounting plate 51 through the second adjusting motor 53.

[0073] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
