Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tobacco processing, in particular to a device for removing stems from cigar wrappers and leaves. Background Art

[0002] Tobacco is a plant of the genus Nicotiana in the Solanaceae family. It is another name for tobacco. Tobacco is an annual or limited perennial plant. The plant is covered with glandular hairs, the petioles are not obvious or wing-like petioles, the inflorescence is terminal, and the calyx is tubular or tubular-bell-shaped.

[0003] Tobacco leaves are also called wrapper leaves. During the production process, the main stems of the leaves need to be removed. Currently, the removal of the stems of wrapper leaves is mainly done manually. There are devices that can realize automatic stem removal of wrapper leaves. However, since the stems (veins) of wrapper leaves are non-straight and present irregular curves, if the tool only cuts in a straight line, it will greatly waste tobacco leaves, and the tool cannot follow the growth direction of the stems on the leaves for precise removal.

[0004] To this end, we proposed a wrapper and leaf destemming device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model mainly solves the technical problem that the above-mentioned cutter cannot follow the growth direction of the stalks on the eggplant leaves to perform accurate cutting, and provides an eggplant wrapper and leaf stalk removal device.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a cigar wrapper and cigar leaf destemming device comprises a destemming platform, a cutting assembly is arranged on the destemming platform, a front bracket and a rear bracket are arranged on the front and rear sides of the destemming platform respectively, a driving roller and a supporting roller are rotatably installed inside the front bracket and the rear bracket, a plurality of driving belts are installed between two front and rear symmetrical groups of driving rollers, the lower side surfaces of the plurality of driving belts are in contact with the top surface of the destemming platform, a hollow portion is formed at intervals at the middle positions of the plurality of driving belts, the cutting assemblies are distributed at positions corresponding to the hollow portions, and a control box is arranged at positions corresponding to the cutting assemblies on the side wall of the destemming platform;

[0007] The cutting assembly includes a U-shaped tool holder, with connecting sleeves fixedly installed on both sides of the tool holder, and left and right symmetrical built-in support rods fixedly installed inside the stem removal platform. The tool holder is movably installed on multiple groups of built-in support rods through connecting sleeves, and a connecting shaft symmetrically installed in the upper and lower parts of the tool holder is rotatably installed inside. A fixing sleeve is threadedly installed on the outer circle of the connecting shaft, and a cutter wheel is fixedly connected to the fixing sleeve, and the two groups of cutter wheels are symmetrically distributed in the upper and lower parts.

[0008] Preferably, supports are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the destemming platform, a connecting frame is fixedly installed between the two groups of supports, the connecting frame is distributed just above the hollow part, and an industrial camera is arranged on the bottom surface of the connecting frame.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of groups of openings are formed through the top surface of the destemming platform, and a group of knife wheels located above are distributed above the top surface of the destemming platform through corresponding openings.

[0010] Preferably, the group of knife wheels located at the bottom is flush with the top surface of the stem removal station.

[0014] Beneficial Effects

[0015] The utility model provides a device for removing stems from cigar wrappers and leaves. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) The citrus peel and citrus leaf destemming device, when in use, is placed between the drive roller and the support roller onto the destemming table, and driven by the transmission action of multiple sets of drive belts to move the citrus leaves from front to back on the top surface of the destemming table. The citrus leaves will first pass through an industrial camera, which will detect the distribution position of the citrus stems on the citrus leaves. The industrial camera will convert the captured light signal into an orderly electrical signal and send it to the control box. The control device in the control box will receive the signal and control the servo motor to start. The servo motor will control the drive shaft to push left and right or rotate up and down, so that the drive shaft drives the tool support to move left and right slightly and rotate up and down slightly, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the cutter wheel. At this time, the citrus leaves are transported along the top surface of the destemming table to the corresponding cutter wheel position. The two corresponding sets of cutter wheels above and below will cut along the citrus stems on the citrus leaves as a path during rotation. The cut citrus leaves will be divided into left and right petals and transported outward through the drive rollers and support rollers on the rear support, thereby achieving the effect of accurately removing the citrus stems on the citrus leaves and avoiding a large amount of waste when removing the citrus stems.

[0017] (2) The cigar wrapper and leaf stem removal device drives the cigar leaves to move from front to back on the top surface of the stem removal platform through the transmission action of multiple sets of transmission belts. Multiple sets of gravity balls squeeze the upper surface of the cigar leaves, which is convenient for applying pressure to the branch stems distributed on the cigar leaves, thereby achieving the effect of softening the branch stems on the cigar leaves.

The upper group of cutter wheels 206 are distributed above the top surface of the stem removal platform 1 through the corresponding through openings 11, and the lower group of cutter wheels 206 are flush with the top surface of the stem removal platform 1. A driving shaft 207 is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the tool holder 201, and a servo motor is arranged inside the control box 3. The output end of the servo motor is fixed to the driving shaft 207 The tomato leaf is connected to the tomato stemming platform 1 between the transmission roller 6 and the support roller 7. When in use, the tomato leaf is placed between the transmission roller 6 and the support roller 7 onto the stemming platform 1. The transmission action of the multiple transmission belts 12 drives the tomato leaf to move from front to back on the top surface of the stemming platform 1. The tomato leaf will first pass through the industrial camera 10. The distribution position of the stems on the tomato leaf will be detected by the industrial camera 10. The industrial camera 10 will convert the captured light signal into an orderly electrical signal and send it to the control box 3. The control device in the control box 3 receives the signal and controls the servo motor in the control box 3 to start. The servo motor will control the drive shaft 207 to push left and right or rotate up and down, so that the drive shaft 207 drives the tool support 201 to move left and right slightly and rotate up and down slightly, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the cutter wheel 206. At this time, the tomato leaf is transported to the corresponding position of the cutter wheel 206 along the top surface of the stemming platform 1. The two corresponding groups of cutter wheels 206 cut along the stems on the tomato leaf as a path during rotation. The cut tomato leaf will be divided into left and right petals and transported outward through the transmission roller 6 and the support roller 7 on the rear support 5.
