[0023] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the control circuit structure of the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a conveyor belt device for tobacco leaf slitting includes: a first conveyor belt 1, a universal conveyor belt 2, a second conveyor belt 3, and a processor 5. The first conveyor belt 1, the universal conveyor belt 2, and the second conveyor belt 3 are arranged in sequence according to the direction of incoming tobacco leaves.

[0025] The first conveyor belt 1 is a belt conveyor wheel, and a camera 102 is installed on the side of the first conveyor belt 1 through a bracket Ⅰ101; the bracket Ⅰ101 is installed in the middle of the side wall of the first conveyor belt 1; the camera 102 is equipped with a wide-angle lens, and the height of the bracket Ⅰ101 is set to match the camera 102, so that the field of view of the camera 102 can cover the entire first conveyor belt 1. By setting the camera 102, different postures of the incoming tobacco leaves on the first conveyor belt 1 can be captured in real time. Preferably, three groups of photoelectric sensors 104 are arranged on the first conveyor belt 1, and the transmitters of the three groups of photoelectric sensors 104 are installed on the bracket Ⅰ101 at intervals in sequence, and the receivers are installed on the bracket Ⅱ103 on the opposite side of the bracket Ⅰ101. By setting three groups of photoelectric sensors, the thickness of the incoming tobacco leaves on the first conveyor belt 1 can be detected, and the transportation speed of each conveyor belt can be controlled according to the thickness of the incoming materials to ensure normal tobacco leaf cutting.

[0026] The universal conveyor belt 2 is a Celluveyor universal conveyor belt, which is an intelligent transportation and positioning system composed of several hexagonal modules, each of which contains three universal wheels, and each wheel can move independently. By changing the linear combination of the speeds of each wheel, the speed and direction of the incoming material can be controlled, so that the tobacco leaf material can be offset and rotated on the conveying platform, and the incoming tobacco leaves with different postures can be neatly arranged and conveyed.

[0027] The second conveyor belt 3 is a belt conveyor wheel, and a slitting device 4 is provided at the end of the second conveyor belt 3. The slitting device 4 includes: a motor 401 and a disc cutting blade 402. The motor 401 is installed on the second conveyor belt 3 through a bearing. The disc cutting blade 402 is provided with two blades, which are installed on the output shaft of the motor 401 at intervals. By controlling the driving motor 401, the disc cutting blade 402 can be driven to rotate, and the incoming tobacco leaves are cut into three sections for subsequent processing operations. The second conveyor belt 3 is also provided with a transparent protective cover 403 for covering the disc cutting blade 402. By providing the transparent protective cover 403, it can be prevented that the disc cutting blade 402 is accidentally touched by human hands, thereby improving the safety of production.

[0028] The processor 5 is connected to the first conveyor belt 1, the universal conveyor belt 2, the second conveyor belt 3, the camera 102, the motor 401, and the three groups of photoelectric sensors 104. The different postures of the incoming tobacco leaves on the first conveyor belt 1 are transmitted to the processor 5 through the camera 102. At the same time, by controlling the three groups of photoelectric sensors 104, the processor 5 can obtain the thickness of the incoming tobacco leaves. After being processed by the processor 5, the universal conveyor belt 2 is controlled to adjust the posture of the incoming tobacco leaves, and the tobacco leaves with different postures are adjusted to be transported horizontally to the second conveyor belt 3. After being transported to the slitting device 4 by the second conveyor belt 3, the tobacco leaves are cut into three sections, namely: tobacco stems, middle parts of tobacco leaves, and tail parts of tobacco leaves.

[0029] The advantages of the solution of the utility model are: the utility model can obtain different postures of incoming tobacco leaves in real time by setting the universal conveyor belt 2 and the camera 102, and adjust the posture of the tobacco leaves by controlling the universal conveyor belt 2 to ensure that the tobacco leaves are cut into three sections by the cutting device 4. The utility model can know the thickness information of the incoming tobacco leaves by setting three groups of photoelectric sensors, and uniformly control the transportation speed of each conveyor belt through the processor 5, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the tobacco leaf cutting work.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the protection scope of the utility model.
