[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tobacco packaging equipment, and in particular to a separation device for separating a plurality of tobacco rods transported on a conveyor belt. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of the FOCKE465 carton sealing machine, an appearance detector is installed in the cigarette rod conveying channel to detect appearance defects and condition association results of the cigarette rods. Once appearance defects or unassociated cigarette rods are detected, they will be immediately rejected.

[0003] However, due to the requirements of quality control, the monitoring of the appearance defects and condition associations of the carton needs to be precise to each finished cigarette rod, but the cigarette rods transported from the previous process channel are closely connected, which makes it difficult to monitor the fitting surfaces of adjacent cigarette rods, which may cause cigarette rods with quality defects to flow into the finished product warehouse and cause production accidents. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to at least partially solve the above-mentioned problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a separation device for separating multiple tobacco rods transported on a conveyor belt, which can be used for the transportation and separation of finished tobacco rods to facilitate all-round inspection of the tobacco rods before they are put into storage, avoid defective products from flowing into the finished product warehouse, and further strengthen the quality control of tobacco rods.

[0005] The separation device includes a mounting seat, a bracket and a separation wheel, wherein the mounting seat is used to connect the separation device to the conveyor belt; the bracket is arranged on the mounting seat; the separation wheel is arranged on the bracket, and the separation wheel is rotatable relative to the bracket; wherein, when the separation device is connected to the conveyor belt, the rotation axis of the separation wheel is parallel to the transmission plane of the conveyor belt, and the distance between the rim of the separation wheel and the conveyor belt is less than the thickness of the tobacco rod, so that the tobacco rod can contact the separation wheel when passing through the gap between the rim of the separation wheel and the conveyor belt.

[0006] In some embodiments, the separation device further comprises a mounting shaft, the mounting shaft is disposed on the bracket, and the separation wheel is concentrically disposed on the mounting shaft.

[0009] In some embodiments, there are two separation wheels, the two separation wheels are distributed along the extension direction of the mounting shaft, and the distance between the two separation wheels is smaller than the length of the tobacco rod.

[0010] In some embodiments, the separation wheel is made of rubber.

[0011] In some embodiments, a waist-shaped hole is opened on the bracket, and the bracket is fixedly connected to the mounting seat by bolts passing through the waist-shaped hole.

[0012] In some embodiments, the mounting base is "U"-shaped, and includes a base plate and side plates vertically connected to both ends of the base plate. The width of the base plate corresponds to the width of the conveyor belt. Screw holes are opened on the side plates, and the bolts are threadedly matched with the screw holes.

[0013] In some embodiments, the number of the brackets is two, and the two brackets are respectively arranged on two side panels. A groove corresponding to the shape of the bracket is formed on the side panel, and the bracket is arranged in the groove.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection claimed in the present application.

[0024] In the production process of the cigarette box sealing machine, the cigarette strips on the conveyor belt are closely connected, making it difficult to perform appearance inspection and condition correlation inspection on the adjacent cigarette strips' bonding surfaces, which can easily lead to production accidents. In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a separation device for separating multiple cigarette strips conveyed on a conveyor belt, which can be used for conveying and separating finished cigarette strips, so as to facilitate all-round inspection of cigarette strips before storage, avoid defective products from flowing into the finished product warehouse, and further strengthen the quality control of cigarette strips.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the separation device includes a mounting seat 1, a bracket 2 and a separation wheel 5. The mounting seat 1 is used to connect the separation device with the conveyor belt 6. When the separation device is used to separate the tobacco rods 7, the separation device can be installed on the conveyor belt 6 through the mounting seat 1. The bracket 2 is arranged on the mounting seat 1, and the bracket 2 is used to support the separation wheel 5 so that the separation wheel 5 can maintain a predetermined distance from the conveyor belt 6. The separation wheel 5 is arranged on the bracket 2, and the separation wheel 5 is rotatable relative to the bracket 2. The separation wheel 5 can be cylindrical. Preferably, the separation wheel 5 can be made of rubber material. The rubber material has a low hardness and can undergo a large deformation, which can avoid scratching the tobacco rods 7. At the same time, the surface of the rubber material can generate greater friction, thereby ensuring the separation effect of the tobacco rods 7. Among them, when the separation device is connected to the conveyor belt 6, the rotation axis of the separation wheel 5 is parallel to the transmission plane of the conveyor belt 6. The transmission plane of the conveyor belt 6 can be the plane where the part of the conveyor belt 6 is used to drive the tobacco strip 7 to move. The distance between the rim of the separation wheel 5 and the conveyor belt 6 is less than the thickness of the tobacco strip 7, so that the tobacco strip 7 can contact the separation wheel 5 when passing through the gap between the rim of the separation wheel 5 and the conveyor belt 6. The thickness of the tobacco strip 7 here refers to the distance between the surface of the tobacco strip 7 opposite to the conveyor belt 6 and the surface of the tobacco strip 7 in contact with the conveyor belt 6 when the tobacco strip 7 is transported on the conveyor belt 6. In the actual production process, the conveyor belt 6 equipped with the separation device can continuously convey the tobacco rods 7. When the tobacco rods 7 pass through the separation wheel 5, they come into contact with the separation wheel 5. The separation wheel 5 rotates under the action of the tobacco rods 7, so rolling friction is generated between the tobacco rods 7 and the separation wheel 5. Due to the action of the rolling friction, the conveying speed of the tobacco rods 7 below and at the rear end of the separation wheel 5 is slowed down, while the front tobacco rods 7 maintain the same speed as the conveyor belt 6 after passing through the separation device, thereby achieving uniform separation from the front tobacco rods 7.

[0026] The separation device provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to separate multiple tobacco strips 7 transported on the conveyor belt 6. Through the rolling friction generated after the tobacco strips 7 contact the separation wheel 5, the tobacco strips 7 on the conveyor belt can be decelerated, so as to separate the front tobacco strips 7 from the rear tobacco strips 7, thereby facilitating the all-round detection of the appearance of the strip box and further strengthening the control of the quality of the tobacco strips 7. The separation device provided in the embodiment of the present application can solve the problems of inaccurate appearance detection and identification of continuous tobacco strips 7 and omission of condition association, reduce the rework rate of finished tobacco strips 7 and the loss of raw and auxiliary materials in the production process, and ensure the stability of production efficiency and product quality.

[0027] In some embodiments, the separation device further comprises a mounting shaft 4, the mounting shaft 4 is arranged on the bracket 2, and the separation wheel 5 is concentrically arranged on the mounting shaft 4. In this embodiment, the mounting shaft 4 can be used as the rotation axis of the separation wheel 5, so that the separation wheel 5 is more stable. Of course, in other embodiments, the separation wheel 5 can also be directly rotatably connected to the bracket 2 without passing through the mounting shaft 4.

[0028] In some embodiments, the mounting shaft 4 is rotatably disposed on the bracket 2, and the separation wheel 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 4. This structure is relatively simple, and when there are multiple separation wheels 5, the multiple separation wheels 5 can be kept rotating synchronously, thereby preventing the tobacco rod 7 from deviating on the conveyor belt 6. Of course, in some embodiments, the mounting shaft 4 can also be disposed on the bracket 2, and the separation wheel 5 can be rotatably disposed on the mounting shaft 4.

[0029] In some embodiments, there are two separation wheels 5, which are distributed along the extension direction of the mounting shaft 4, and the spacing between the two separation wheels 5 is less than the length of the tobacco rod 7. Here, the length of the tobacco rod 7 refers to the size of the tobacco rod 7 along the width direction of the conveyor belt 6 when the tobacco rod 7 is transported on the conveyor belt 6. In this embodiment, two separation wheels 5 are provided and the two separation wheels 5 can contact the same tobacco rod 7 together, which can ensure that the separation wheels 5 are in stable contact with the tobacco rod 7, reduce the contact area between the separation wheels 5 and the tobacco rod 7, and reduce the wear and extrusion deformation of the tobacco rod 7.

[0030] In some embodiments, a waist-shaped hole 8 is provided on the bracket 2, and the bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 1 by a bolt passing through the waist-shaped hole 8. In this embodiment, by providing the waist-shaped hole 8 on the bracket 2, the mounting position of the bracket 2 on the mounting seat 1 can be adjusted. Specifically, the mounting position of the bracket can be adjusted by loosening the bolt, thereby adjusting the distance between the bracket 2 and the transmission plane of the separation wheel 5 and the conveyor belt 6 to adapt to the size changes of the tobacco rod 7 caused by different brands or different packaging standards, avoiding the extrusion and damage of the tobacco rod 7 or leakage separation caused by the height inappropriateness of the separation wheel 5 and the conveying channel of the tobacco rod 7, and improving the applicability of the device. Specifically, the bracket 2 can be adjusted to achieve the precise fit between the upper end surface of the tobacco rod 7 and the separation wheel 5, so as to achieve the goal of uniform separation of the tobacco rod 7; in the actual production process, before using the separation device, the separation wheel 5 can be set to a height that matches the size of the cigarette product to be produced, and check whether the rotation of the separation wheel 5 is smooth to avoid damage to the tobacco rod 7 product.

[0031] In some embodiments, the mounting base 1 is "U"-shaped, and includes a bottom plate and side plates vertically connected to both ends of the bottom plate. The width of the bottom plate corresponds to the width of the conveyor belt 6. The side plates are provided with screw holes, and the bolts are threadedly matched with the screw holes. The side plates may also be provided with mounting holes to achieve the connection between the mounting base 1 and the bracket 2 of the conveyor belt 6. A gap is formed between the bottom plate of the "U"-shaped mounting base 1 and the bracket 2 of the conveyor belt 6 for the belt body of the conveyor belt 6 to pass through.

[0032] In some embodiments, there are two brackets 2, and the two brackets 2 are respectively arranged on two side panels, and grooves corresponding to the shapes of the brackets 2 are formed on the side panels, and the brackets 2 are arranged in the grooves. In this embodiment, the brackets 2 can be limited by the grooves, thereby ensuring the reliability of the fixing of the brackets 2 and preventing the distance between the separation wheel 5 and the transmission plane of the conveyor belt 6 from changing, which affects the stable operation of the separation device.

[0033] In some embodiments, the separation device further includes a bearing 3, the bearing 3 is arranged on the bracket 2, and the two ends of the mounting shaft 4 are rotatably connected to the two brackets 2 through the bearing 3. Exemplarily, the bearing 3 can be a rolling bearing 3, the outer ring of the rolling bearing 3 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2, the inner ring of the fixed bearing 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 4, and a ball is arranged between the outer ring and the inner ring to achieve rolling friction. In this embodiment, by arranging the bearing 3, the stability of the rotation connection can be further improved, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the separation device.
