[0022] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a high-altitude conveyor tobacco rod reversing device, which is suitable for high-altitude conveyor line tobacco rod reversing devices of various brands and models in the cigarette factory's packaging workshop, ensuring that the tobacco rod reversal success rate reaches 100%.

[0023] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] See also Figure 1The high-altitude conveyor tobacco rod reversing device includes a pneumatic rod pushing device 1, a pneumatic rod pushing device fixing bracket 2, a barrier strip device 3, a proximity switch 4, a proximity switch bracket 5, a material drop chute 6, an arc slide 7, a lower slide guide strip assembly 8, a collector belt conveyor vertical leveling device 9, and an electrical control system 10.

[0025] The pneumatic tobacco rod pushing device 1 is installed on the high-altitude tobacco rod conveying device through the pneumatic tobacco rod pushing device fixing bracket 2, the baffle device 3 is installed on the high-altitude tobacco rod conveying device, and the proximity switch 4 is installed on the high-altitude tobacco rod conveying device through the proximity switch bracket 5, and the baffle device 3 and the proximity switch 4 are arranged corresponding to the pneumatic tobacco rod pushing device 1, the blanking trough 6 is installed on the high-altitude tobacco rod conveying device and is located at the lower side of the baffle device 3, the arc slide 7 is connected to the lower side of the blanking trough 6, and the lower slide guide bar assembly 8 is matched and installed on the arc slide 7, and the bottom end of the arc slide 7 is connected to the collector belt conveyor vertical leveling device 9, and the electrical control system 10 is electrically connected to the pneumatic tobacco rod pushing device 1 and the proximity switch 4 respectively.

[0026] During operation, the number of pneumatic tobacco rod pushing devices 1 installed corresponds to the number of multi-track high-altitude tobacco rod conveying devices. The pneumatic tobacco rod pushing device 1 is installed on the pneumatic tobacco rod pushing device fixed bracket 2, and the height is adjusted through the oblong hole so that the T-shaped tobacco rod pushing plate and the center point of the tobacco rod are on the same horizontal plane. The baffle device 3 is fixedly installed on the high-altitude tobacco rod conveying channel to limit the tobacco rod. The proximity switch 4 is installed on the top of the proximity switch bracket 5 to detect whether the tobacco rod has reached the limit position. When the proximity switch 4 detects that the tobacco rod has arrived, it sends a signal to the electrical control system 10, and the compressed air is transmitted to the pneumatic tobacco rod pushing device 1 through the cylinder. The pneumatic tobacco rod pushing device 1 retracts after completing the tobacco pushing action, and pushes the tobacco rod into the blanking chute 6, under the action of gravity. The reversing process of the tobacco strips is completed inside the U-shaped slide. The tobacco strips after reversing are supported by the arc-shaped lower slide 7 and the lower slide guide bar assembly 8 and are entered into the collector belt conveyor vertical flattening device 9, changing the conveying mode of the tobacco strips from vertical to horizontal, which is convenient for subsequent process links. The lower slide guide bar assembly 8 keeps the tobacco strips stable during the falling process. The lower slide guide bar assembly 8 is composed of several arc-shaped steel bars, and the curvature is consistent with the curvature of the arc-shaped slide 7. The installation height is adjusted through the oblong hole to ensure that the installation height is greater than the center point of the vertical direction of the tobacco strip. The lower slide guide bar assembly 8 is used to connect the blanking trough 6 and the collector belt conveyor vertical flattening device 9 to ensure the stability of the tobacco strips during movement and avoid blockage and wrinkling.

[0027] The U-shaped channel structure of the chute 6 is calculated based on the length, width and height of the tobacco rod, ensuring that the tobacco rod always maintains two-point contact with the inner wall of the U-shaped channel during the process of gravity sliding down the U-shaped channel, ensuring that the tobacco rod is stable and reliable during the process of sliding down the U-shaped channel of the chute 6, avoiding the occurrence of rod blockage and wrinkling. At the same time, the chute 6 is designed as a side-opening structure, which is convenient for the equipment operator to open the chute 6 in time when an internal blockage occurs, remove the tobacco rod blocked inside, eliminate the fault, and resume the operation of the device.

[0028] The installation parameters and dimensional parameters of the arc slide 7 and the lower slide guide strip assembly 8 are calculated based on the length, width and height data of the tobacco rods, ensuring that the tobacco rods move evenly and stably within the range of the outlet of the drop chute 6 and the inlet of the collector belt conveyor leveling device 9, without any blockage of tobacco rods.

[0029] In some embodiments, the pneumatic rod pushing device 1 completes the tobacco rod pushing action through compressed air power, and the compressed air is provided by a cylinder. A return spring is provided on the pneumatic rod pushing device 1, and the proximity switch 4 is a capacitive proximity switch.

[0030] During operation, the compressed air of the pneumatic rod pushing device 1 is provided through the cylinder to ensure the stability and reliability of the push rod movement during the rod pushing process. A return spring is provided on the pneumatic rod pushing device 1. The pneumatic rod pushing device 1 completes the tobacco rod pushing action through compressed air power. When there is no compressed air, the push rod of the pneumatic rod pushing device 1 returns to the origin under the action of the return spring force, completing a tobacco rod pushing process. The proximity switch 4 adopts a capacitive proximity switch, and the detection sensitivity can be adjusted to ensure the reliability and stability of tobacco rod detection.

[0031] In some embodiments, the electrical control system 10 includes a programmable logic controller (PLC) and a solenoid valve. The programmable logic controller (PLC) is electrically connected to the solenoid valve, the solenoid valve controls the start and stop of the cylinder, and the proximity switch 4 is electrically connected to the programmable logic controller (PLC).

[0032] When working, the electrical control system 10 includes a power module, a programmable logic controller (PLC), wiring terminals, a solenoid valve, an alarm indicator light, a start button, a reset button, and a stop button. The signal line of the proximity switch 4 is connected to the input point of the programmable logic controller (PLC) in the electrical control system 10, and the solenoid valve power line is connected to the output point of the programmable logic controller (PLC). The programmable logic controller (PLC) controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valve according to the signal of the proximity switch 4, thereby controlling the supply of compressed air to the pneumatic pushing device 1.

[0033] After the proximity switch 4 detects that the cigarette rod has reached the limit position, it sends a signal to the programmable logic controller (PLC) installed in the electrical control system 10. After the programmable logic controller (PLC) receives the information that the cigarette rod is in place, if it detects that the system is in operation, it outputs a high-level signal to control the solenoid valve to open, and the compressed air passes through the cylinder and enters the pneumatic pushing device 1. The push rod of the pneumatic pushing device 1 extends to drive the pushing plate to push the cigarette rod into the drop chute 6. After the set delay, the high-level output signal of the programmable logic controller (PLC) flips to a low level, and the command controls the solenoid valve to close. The push rod of the pneumatic pushing device 1 resets and retracts under the action of the spring, completing the cigarette pushing process.

[0034] In some embodiments, the high-altitude tobacco rod reversing device further includes an alarm device, and the alarm device is electrically connected to the electrical control system 10 .

[0035] During operation, if the programmable logic controller (PLC) detects that the signal state of the proximity switch 4 of the pneumatic cigarette pushing device 1 has not changed during the process of pushing the cigarette rod, it is determined that there may be a cigarette rod blocking fault. The programmable logic controller (PLC) sends an alarm signal to prompt the equipment operator to check and eliminate the fault in time. After checking that there is no fault in the device, the equipment operator presses the reset button to clear the fault. After pressing the start button, the device resumes normal operation.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that, in this article, relationships such as first and second, etc. are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms include, include or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
