The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be interpreted as limiting the present invention.

[0015] Embodiments of the present utility model: Figure 1 As shown, an automatic cleaning device for a smoke guide plate of a cigarette making machine comprises a smoke guide plate 1, which is fixed on a smoke guide plate side plate 2, a cigarette rod sensor 3 is arranged in the middle of the smoke guide plate 1, a plurality of air jet holes 4 are opened on the smoke guide plate 1, a cavity is formed in the smoke guide plate side plate 2, the air jet holes 4 are connected to the cavity, the smoke guide plate side plate 2 is connected to an air source, and the smoke guide plate side plate 2 is connected to a position adjustment mechanism.

[0016] The position adjustment mechanism drives the side plate 2 of the smoke guide plate to make a reciprocating motion to shake off the tobacco rods. High-pressure gas is injected into the side plate 2 of the smoke guide plate through the air source, and the high-pressure gas is ejected through the air jet hole 4 to blow off the tobacco rods stuck on the smoke guide plate 1. After the tobacco rods are separated from the smoke guide plate 1, the position adjustment mechanism adjusts the side plate 2 of the smoke guide plate back to the working position, so that the smoke guide plate 1 on it can work normally.

[0017] In this embodiment, the gas source can be a gas tank, a gas bottle, an air pump or a gas station, and the cigarette rod sensor 3 is a photoelectric switch.

When the extension solenoid valve 13 is opened and the contraction solenoid valve 14 is closed, gas enters the cylinder 10 to push the valve stem out of the cylinder body of the cylinder 10, thereby pushing the side plate 2 of the smoke guide plate; when the extension solenoid valve 13 is closed and the contraction solenoid valve 14 is opened, gas enters the cylinder 10 to push the valve stem back into the cylinder body of the cylinder 10, thereby pulling the side plate 2 of the smoke guide plate back to its working position.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a sound and light alarm (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the frame 7, and the sound and light alarm is also electrically connected to the PLC programmable controller in the cigarette making machine.

[0026] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the cigarette making machine is stopped, when the cigarette rod sensor 3 senses that there is a cigarette rod at the cigarette guide plate 1, the PLC programmable controller of the cigarette making machine controls the sound and light alarm to send out an alarm signal, and at the same time, the PLC programmable controller controls the air intake solenoid valve 6 to be continuously opened, so that the high-pressure gas is continuously ejected through the jet hole 4, and at the same time, the PLC programmable controller controls the extension solenoid valve 13 and the contraction solenoid valve 14 to be alternately opened and closed, so that the cylinder 10 is continuously extended and contracted, so that the cigarette guide plate side plate 2 is reciprocated, when the cigarette rod sensor 3 cannot detect the cigarette rod, the PLC programmable controller controls the air intake solenoid valve 6 to be closed, the extension solenoid valve 13 to be closed, and the contraction solenoid valve 14 to be opened, so that the cigarette guide plate side plate 2 moves to the working position, when the slider 9 on the cigarette guide plate side plate 2 contacts the position switch 15, the position switch 15 sends an electrical signal to the PLC programmable controller, the PLC programmable controller controls the contraction solenoid valve 14 to be closed, and at the same time controls the sound and light alarm to be closed, and the staff can take away the cigarette rod dropped on the frame 7. When the cigarette making machine is started next time, it can operate normally. It should be noted that the present invention can also be manually controlled via a manual control switch.

[0027] The above describes in detail the structure, features and effects of the utility model based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, but the utility model is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the drawings.
