[0026] The present application provides a suction resistance sampling device for a filter rod receiver, which adds a suction resistance sampling function to the filter rod receiver, and monitors and adjusts the filter rod suction resistance parameters in real time during the cigarette production process, thereby improving the quality and stability of cigarette products, meeting market demand, enhancing consumer experience, and promoting the sustainable development of the tobacco industry.

[0027] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the cigarette assembling machine 12 includes a filter rod receiver, which includes a filter rod storage bin 1 and an air delivery channel 3. The arc-shaped air delivery channel 3 transports the filter rod 2 from top to bottom to the entrance of the filter rod storage bin 1. There is a certain distance between the entrance of the filter rod storage bin 1 and the end of the air delivery channel 3.

[0028] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the suction resistance sampling device of the filter rod receiver provided in the present application includes a PLC controller, a sampling button, a filter rod sampling tube 7 and a suction resistance detector 8.

[0029] The upper end of the filter rod sampling tube 7 is connected to the end of the air delivery channel 3 of the filter rod receiver, and the suction resistance detector 8 is arranged at the lower end of the filter rod sampling tube 7. The end of the air delivery channel 3 is provided with a detection control component for opening the end outlet of the air delivery channel 3.

[0030] The sampling button is connected with the PLC controller signal, and the PLC controller is connected with the actuator signal of the detection control component.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, as an embodiment, the detection control component includes a gate 9 and a gate driving component. The gate 9 is arranged at the end outlet of the air delivery channel, which prevents the filter rod from entering the filter rod sampling tube 7 from the end of the air delivery channel 3.

[0032] As an example, Figure 2 As shown, the gate driving component includes a gate cylinder 10 and a gate solenoid valve 11. The output end of the gate cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the gate 9. The gate solenoid valve 11 is arranged on the air path of the gate cylinder 9 to control the movement of the gate cylinder 9.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the detection control component also includes an in-place sensor 13, which is fixed on the inner wall of the end side of the air delivery channel 3. The in-place sensor 13 is connected to the PLC controller signal, and the PLC controller is connected to the actuator signal of the start control component of the filter rod receiver.

[0034] As an embodiment, the in-position sensor 13 is a photodetector.

[0035] Preferably, the detection and control component also includes a filter rod wheel 4 and a wheel driving component, the filter rod wheel 4 is fixed on the inner wall of the top surface of the end of the air delivery channel 3, and the distance between the lower end of the filter rod wheel 4 and the inner wall of the bottom surface of the end of the air delivery channel 3 matches the diameter of the filter rod.

[0036] As an embodiment, the paddle wheel driving component includes a paddle wheel servo motor and a servo controller, the servo controller is electrically connected to the paddle wheel servo motor, and the output shaft of the paddle wheel servo motor is fixedly connected to the central axis of the filter rod paddle wheel 4. The PLC controller is signal-connected to the servo controller.

[0037] Preferably, an air supply conduit 6 is provided in the middle of the filter rod sampling tube 7, the air supply conduit 6 is connected to the air source, and the diameter of the air supply conduit 6 is smaller than the diameter of the filter rod. An air supply solenoid valve 5 is provided on the air supply conduit 6, and the air supply solenoid valve 5 is connected to the PLC controller signal.

[0038] The PLC controller is equipped with a timer. The filter rod receiver starts to receive the filter rod, and the filter rod 2 enters along the air delivery channel 3. When the suction resistance test is required, the user presses the sampling button. After the PLC controller receives the signal that the sampling button is pressed, the actuator of the start control component of the filter rod receiver is powered off, and the filter rod receiver stops working. At this time, the arrival sensor 13 detects whether there is a filter rod at the end of the air delivery channel 3. If not, the PLC controller opens the filter rod receiver again to receive the filter rod after receiving the signal from the in-place sensor 13; if yes, the PLC controller controls the gate solenoid valve to be energized, the gate moves, opens the end outlet of the air delivery channel 3 and starts delaying the first set time, and at the same time, the PLC controller sends instructions to the servo controller, so that the servo controller controls the servo motor to drive the filter rod dial wheel 4 to rotate the set angle, so that the filter rod enters the filter rod sampling tube 7 under the push of the filter rod dial wheel, and at this time, the PLC controller controls the air supply solenoid valve 5 to be energized and start delaying the second set time, and the air supply duct 6 delivers positive pressure gas to the filter rod sampling tube 7, pushing the filter rod in the filter rod sampling tube 7 into the suction resistance detector 8. The suction resistance detector starts to run after detecting that the filter rod is in place, and performs suction resistance detection on the filter rod. The gate 9 and the air supply solenoid valve are closed after the delay ends.

[0039] In this application, the filter rod receiver adds a draw resistance sampling function, monitors the filter rod draw resistance parameters in real time, and makes timely adjustments and controls, which can greatly improve the quality and stability of cigarette products, which will help meet consumer needs and expectations, enhance brand image and market competitiveness. In addition, after the filter rod receiver introduces the draw resistance sampling function, data monitoring and analysis in the cigarette production process will be more accurate and timely, which will help production personnel better understand the changing laws of cigarette draw resistance parameters, optimize production processes, improve production efficiency and reduce costs.
