Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tobacco machinery technology, specifically to a glycerin heating, stirring and conveying device for flavoring filter rods. Background Technology
[0002] Triacetin (hereinafter referred to as glycerin) is an essential material for filter rod production. Generally, glycerin is supplied by a centralized glycerin supply system through pipelines to filter rod forming equipment and sprayed onto the surface of the fiber bundle, thereby obtaining a rigid filter rod structure. This glycerin supply method is suitable for large-scale filter rod production with fixed processes. However, in actual production, manufacturers will add different fragrances and flavorings to the glycerin according to process requirements to meet the diversity of market demands. However, existing glycerin heating, stirring and conveying devices are supplied in a centralized manner. When dealing with product specification switching, small-batch production and multi-specification production, their production flexibility is insufficient and cannot meet the rapid adjustment of production plans, which will increase the workload of workers and reduce the efficiency of workers and equipment production. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glycerin heating, stirring, and conveying device for flavored filter rods. This addresses the problem that existing glycerin heating, stirring, and conveying devices, as described in the background art, rely on centralized supply, resulting in insufficient production flexibility when dealing with product specification changes, small-batch production, and multi-specification production. This makes it unable to meet the rapid adjustment of production plans, increasing worker workload and reducing worker and equipment efficiency. This device offers a more flexible and economical glycerin supply method, capable of handling various production processes including trial batches, small batches, and multi-specification flavored filter rods. During production, it maintains a continuously controllable stirring speed, ensuring not only uniform stirring but also constant temperature heating of the flavored glycerin. This allows for thorough and uniform mixing of the fragrances and flavorings, preventing fragrance and flavoring precipitation and improving the pumpability, proportion stability, and atomization effect of the flavored glycerin. Both stirring and pumping are pneumatically driven, ensuring the safety of the flavored glycerin supply.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a glycerin heating, stirring, and conveying device for flavored filter rods, comprising a storage tank, a stirrer, a suction pump, a heating module, a base, and a conveying module. The storage tank is installed on the top of the base, and a top cover is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank. The stirrer is installed on the upper part of the storage tank for stirring the flavored glycerin. A heating module for heating and temperature control is installed between the storage tank and the base. A suction pump for conveying is installed at one end of the base. The suction pump is connected to the storage tank through the conveying module for conveying the flavored glycerin.

[0010] Preferably, the heating module includes a temperature controller, a heating plate is installed at the bottom of the storage tank for heating the flavored glycerin inside the storage tank, and a temperature controller is installed on one side of the base for setting and controlling the temperature of the heating plate.
[0011] Preferably, the base includes small baffles, and the top of the base is provided with small baffles located around the storage tank for limiting the position of the storage tank. Screw lifting devices are evenly arranged at the support of the base for leveling and lifting the base.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment provided by the present invention: A glycerin heating, stirring and conveying device for flavored filter rods includes a storage tank 1, a stirrer 2, a suction pump 3, a heating module 4, a base 5 and a conveying module 6. The storage tank 1 is installed on the top of the base 5, and a top cover 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1. The stirrer 2 is installed on the upper part of the storage tank 1 for stirring the flavored glycerin. A heating module 4 for heating and temperature control is installed between the storage tank 1 and the base 5. A suction pump 3 for conveying is installed at one end of the base 5. The suction pump 3 is connected to the storage tank 1 through the conveying module 6 for conveying the flavored glycerin. Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the storage tank 1 includes a filling port 102. One end of the top cover 101 is provided with the filling port 102. The bottom end of the filling port 102 is fixedly connected with a filter 103 for filtration. The bottom end of the storage tank 1 is provided with a discharge port 104. A level gauge 105 for level detection alarm is provided on one side of the storage tank 1. The level gauge 105 includes a level sensor and an alarm, which is used to detect the liquid level inside the storage tank 1. If the liquid level is lower than the set minimum limit, an alarm is triggered. The control terminal of the alarm is electrically connected to an external power supply through the level sensor. The level gauge 105 can detect the liquid level inside the storage tank 1 and issue an alarm when the liquid level is low to remind the workers that there is not much glycerin and fragrance left inside the storage tank 1. When the liquid level inside the glycerin tank is too low, the first valve 601 and the second valve 603 are opened. The glycerin mixture inside the storage tank 1 can be extracted by the suction pump 3. Please see Figure 2In this embodiment, the stirrer 2 includes a paddle 201. The stirrer 2 is installed on the top of the cover 101. The output end of the stirrer 2 is fixedly connected to the paddle 201 for stirring the glycerin in the storage tank 1. The stirrer 2 is a pneumatic stirrer, and the pneumatic stirrer is connected to the pneumatic system of the filter rod forming equipment through an air pipe. The stirrer 2 is equipped with a throttle valve for individually controlling the stirring speed. The pneumatic stirrer is an explosion-proof pneumatic stirrer. The suction pump 3 is a pneumatic diaphragm pump, and the suction pump 3 is a corrosion-resistant explosion-proof diaphragm pump. The stirrer 2 is connected to compressed air, and the throttle valve is used to adjust the stirrer 2 to drive the paddle 201 to stir at a suitable speed. After stirring evenly, the speed of the paddle 201 is adjusted to a low speed and maintained at this speed during the production process to prevent the fragrance and flavor from precipitating after the glycerin is left to stand. At the same time, it can also ensure the uniformity of heating of the glycerin and fragrance and ensure its fluidity, and avoid the condensation of the mixture of glycerin and fragrance. Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the heating module 4 includes a temperature controller 401. A heating plate 402 is installed at the bottom of the storage tank 1 to heat the flavored glycerin inside the storage tank 1. A temperature controller 401 is installed on one side of the base 5 to set and control the temperature of the heating plate 402. The heating plate 402 can heat the flavored glycerin and fragrance inside the storage tank 1. Since the heating plate 402 is located at the bottom of the storage tank 1, it does not come into direct contact with the flavored glycerin and fragrance. The flavored glycerin and fragrance are heated by heat conduction to prevent the fragrance in the flavored glycerin from condensing at low temperatures. The temperature is controlled by the temperature controller 401. Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the base 5 includes a small baffle 501. The top of the base 5 is provided with a small baffle 501 located around the storage tank 1 for limiting the position of the storage tank 1. Screw lifting devices are evenly arranged at the support of the base 5 for leveling and lifting the base 5. The screw lifting device includes a threaded rod. The bottom ends of both sides of the base 5 are connected to the threaded rod by threads, and the bottom ends of the threaded rod are connected to the support seat by bearings. The middle and lower parts of the threaded rod are fixedly connected to a turntable. The screw lifting device supported by the base 5 facilitates the leveling and lifting of the base 5. The purpose of lifting is to push the device into a scale to weigh the flavored glycerin when it needs to be mixed on-site, or to push the device into a mobile hydraulic cart to transfer it when it needs to be replaced on the flavored filter rod production machine. It is very simple and convenient, and it is easy for workers to rotate the threaded rod to level, lift and transfer the device. Please see Figure 1In this embodiment, the conveying module 6 includes a conveying pipe 602. The bottom end of the discharge port 104 is connected to the conveying pipe 602, which is connected to the input end of the suction pump 3. A first valve 601 is connected to the middle of the conveying pipe 602 via a flange. A hose 605 is connected to the output end of the suction pump 3. One end of the hose 605 is connected to the flavoring glycerin tank for transferring flavoring glycerin. A second valve 603 is connected at the connection between the suction pump 3 and the hose 605. An electromagnetic reversing valve 604 is installed in the middle of the hose 605. The control terminal of the magnetic reversing valve 604 is electrically connected to an external power supply via an external switch. When the liquid level inside the flavored glycerin tank is too low, the first valve 601 and the second valve 603 are opened. The suction pump 3 can extract the flavored glycerin mixture from the storage tank 1 and transport the flavored glycerin mixture to the flavored glycerin tank through the conveying pipe 602 and the hose 605. At the same time, by controlling the first valve 601, the second valve 603 and the electromagnetic reversing valve 604, it is convenient to pull out the storage tank 1 for cleaning when switching product specifications. In use, the weighed and proportioned glycerin and flavoring are first added to the storage tank 1 through the inlet 102. The glycerin and flavoring are then filtered through the filter 103. After the filtered glycerin and flavoring enter the storage tank 1, the agitator 2 is connected to compressed air. The agitator 2, through a throttle valve, drives the paddle 201 to a suitable speed for stirring. After thorough mixing, the speed of the paddle 201 is reduced to a low speed and maintained during production to prevent the flavoring from precipitating out after the glycerin has settled. This also ensures the smooth operation of subsequent mixing. To ensure the uniformity of heating of the flavoring glycerin and fragrance, and to maintain their fluidity and prevent the mixture of flavoring glycerin and fragrance from condensing, a heating plate 402 heats the flavoring glycerin and fragrance inside the storage tank 1. Since the heating plate 402 is located at the bottom of the storage tank 1, it does not directly contact the flavoring glycerin and fragrance; heating is achieved through heat conduction, preventing condensation of the flavoring glycerin at low temperatures. Temperature is controlled by a temperature controller 401, and the liquid level inside the storage tank 1 is detected by a level gauge 105, which issues an alarm when the liquid level is low. An alarm is triggered to alert workers that the glycerin and flavoring agents in storage tank 1 are running low. When the liquid level in the glycerin tank is too low, the first valve 601 and the second valve 603 open. The suction pump 3 draws the glycerin mixture from storage tank 1 and transports it to the glycerin tank via the delivery pipe 602 and hose 605. The screw lifting device supported by the base 5 facilitates leveling and lifting of the base 5. Lifting is used for weighing the glycerin if on-site mixing is required, or for replacing the flavoring filter. When using the rod production machine, the device is easily and conveniently transferred by pushing it into a mobile hydraulic cart. This device offers a more flexible and economical supply method for flavored glycerin, capable of handling various production processes, including trial batches, small batches, and multiple specifications of flavored filter rods. During production, it maintains a continuously controllable stirring speed, ensuring not only uniform stirring but also constant temperature heating of the flavored glycerin. This allows for thorough and uniform mixing of the fragrances and flavorings, preventing their precipitation and improving the pumpability, proportioning stability, and atomization effect of the flavored glycerin. Both stirring and pumping are pneumatically driven, ensuring the safety of the flavored glycerin supply.
