Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette preparation, in particular to a material feeding device of a cigarette empty tube cigarette maker. Background Art
[0002] An empty cigarette tube maker is a device for filling tobacco into an empty cigarette tube.
[0003] This equipment is currently mainly used in the research process of cigarette formula. Experimental researchers try to improve the intrinsic quality of cigarettes by changing the ratio of tobacco ingredients. Therefore, the formula of tobacco needs to be adjusted. The quality verification of cigarettes requires the evaluation of the smoke composition after ignition on the one hand, and professional cigarette tasters are required to evaluate its subjective qualities such as taste and flavor through smoking on the other hand.
[0004] In the traditional design of the empty cigarette tube maker, the tobacco is stored in a container deep enough, and a set of rod-forming components, a cigarette pushing rod and a mechanism for receiving the empty cigarette tube are arranged at the bottom of the container. The tobacco is gradually fed into the rod-forming component by its own weight to form a rod, and then pushed out by the cigarette pushing rod to enter the empty tube to form a cigarette.
[0005] In other words, the traditional design does not control the incoming tobacco, and the tobacco is prone to uneven mass distribution when piled and extruded, resulting in poor quality of the final cigarettes. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the process of tobacco before it is formed into rods to improve the quality of cigarettes.
[0006] Among them, when the tobacco is fed into the cigarette maker from the source, its own state is poor, and there are often problems such as clumping, accumulation, and disorder. Therefore, how to optimize the feeding device so that the incoming tobacco can maintain a uniform state is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technical solution. Utility Model Content
[0008] The utility model aims to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and thus provide a feeding device for an empty cigarette tube maker, which is conducive to relieving the fluffiness of tobacco shreds and ensuring that the incoming tobacco shreds are evenly distributed.
[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a material feeding device of a cigarette empty tube maker, comprising a material feeding channel, a guide plate, a tobacco loosening roller, a vibration trough, a rotating material return baffle mechanism and a weighing component;
[0010] The blanking channel is located above the vibration trough as a whole, the tobacco loosening roller is installed in the middle of the blanking channel, the guide plate is arranged inside the blanking channel and located above the tobacco loosening roller, and the guide plate is used to guide the tobacco to the working area of the tobacco loosening roller;

[0012] The rotating material return baffle mechanism is installed in the middle area of the front half of the vibration trough, and pushes the material forward by turning over;
[0013] The weighing assembly is arranged below the front end outlet of the vibration trough.
[0014] Based on the above, the blanking channel is generally in a bucket-shaped structure with an upper inlet larger than a lower outlet, and the outer contour of the tobacco loosening roller is close to the inner wall of the blanking channel.
[0015] Based on the above, the guide plate includes a left guide plate and a right guide plate, the upper ends of the left guide plate and the right guide plate are respectively fixed to the two side walls of the blanking channel, and the lower ends are gathered toward the middle and close to the tobacco loosening roller.
[0016] Based on the above, a comb-tooth structure is arranged at the bottom end of the left guide plate and / or the right guide plate, and the tobacco loosening roller is correspondingly provided with conical loosening teeth adapted to the comb-tooth structure.
[0017] Based on the above, the rear half of the vibration trough is horizontally arranged and connected with a straight vibrator.
[0018] Based on the above, the rotating return material baffle mechanism includes a stepper motor, a mounting bracket, a rotating shaft and at least one baffle, the stepper motor is fixed by the mounting bracket, the output shaft of the stepper motor is coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft, the side wall of the vibration groove is provided with a through hole for the rotating shaft to work, the baffle is fixed on the rotating shaft and rotates with the rotating shaft, the lowest point of rotation of the baffle is close to the bottom of the vibration groove, and the two ends of the baffle are close to the groove wall of the vibration groove.
[0019] Based on the above, a comb tooth structure is provided at the lower edge of the baffle.
[0020] Based on the above, the weighing assembly includes an electronic scale and a movable tray. The movable tray is placed in the tray of the electronic scale and is located below the outlet side of the vibration trough. A conical wire receiving trough is provided in the movable tray.
[0021] Based on the above, the tobacco loosening roller is driven to rotate by a motor installed on the outside of the material dropping channel through a hollow rotating platform.
[0022] The utility model has substantial characteristics and progress compared with the prior art. Specifically, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0023] The tobacco taken out from the tobacco storage box or cigarette pack, or the small amount of tobacco processed by special process, is clumped, knotted or piled. Since it is not a production line and lacks special loosening device, it needs to be subjected to a series of treatments such as corresponding loosening, shock-absorbing loosening and quantitative weighing during the unloading process. This can make the tobacco have relatively uniform mass distribution and relatively loose state during the unloading process, and control the weight of the tobacco filled in the subsequent cigarette maker by quantitative forward transportation and weighing to ensure the production quality of each cigarette.

[0030] The blanking channel 1 is located as a whole above the vibration trough 4, the tobacco loosening roller 3 is installed in the middle of the blanking channel 1, the guide plate 2 is arranged inside the blanking channel 1 and located above the tobacco loosening roller 3, the guide plate 2 is used to guide the tobacco to the working area of the tobacco loosening roller 3, and the tobacco loosening roller 3 is driven to rotate by a motor 31 installed on the outside of the blanking channel through a hollow rotating platform.
[0031] In this embodiment, Figure 1As shown, the blanking channel 1 as a whole is a bucket-shaped structure with an upper inlet larger than a lower outlet and surrounded and closed on all sides (the side plate on one side is hidden in the figure), and the outer contour of the tobacco loosening roller 3 is close to the inner wall of the blanking channel; the guide plate 2 includes a left guide plate 21 and a right guide plate 22, and the upper ends of the left guide plate 21 and the right guide plate 22 are respectively fixed to the two side walls of the blanking channel 1, and the lower ends gather toward the middle and close to the tobacco loosening roller 3.
[0032] When the tobacco is dropped downward from the dropping channel 1, it is first conducted to the working area above the tobacco loosening roller 3 through the guide plate 2, and then pushed downward by the conical loosening teeth on the tobacco loosening roller 3. During the pushing process, the clumped and knotted tobacco is resisted by the inner wall of the dropping channel 1 and the guide plate 2, and is torn and loosened to form loose tobacco, which falls into the vibration trough 4 below.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a comb-tooth structure is provided at the bottom end of the left guide plate 21 and / or the right guide plate 22, and a conical loosening tooth adapted to the comb-tooth structure is correspondingly provided on the tobacco loosening roller 3. In general, Figure 1 As shown, the comb-tooth structure is at least arranged in the direction of rotating feeding, and the comb-tooth structure cooperates with the conical loose teeth to form the main power structure for tearing and releasing the tobacco shreds.
[0034] The front half of the vibration trough 4 is tilted forward and downward, and the lower end outlet of the blanking channel 1 is arranged in the rear area of the front lower part of the vibration trough 4.
[0035] In this embodiment, the rear half of the vibration trough 4 is horizontally arranged and connected to a straight vibrator 41, which drives the vibration trough 4 to vibrate at a high frequency, so that the fallen tobacco is gradually transferred forward along the inclined section of the front half.
[0036] The rotating material return baffle mechanism 5 is installed in the central area of the front half of the vibration groove 4, and pushes the material forward by flipping; the rotating material return baffle mechanism 5 includes a stepper motor 51, a mounting bracket 52, a rotating shaft 53 and at least one baffle 54, the stepper motor 51 is fixed by the mounting bracket 52, the output shaft of the stepper motor 51 is coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft 53, the side wall of the vibration groove 4 is provided with a through hole for the rotating shaft 53 to work, the baffle 54 is fixed on the rotating shaft 53 and rotates with the rotating shaft 53, the lowest point of rotation of the baffle 54 is close to the bottom of the vibration groove 4, the two ends of the baffle 54 are close to the groove wall of the vibration groove 4, and the lower edge of the baffle 54 is provided with a comb tooth structure. In this embodiment, the number of baffles 54 is designed to be two, and they are set at 180°.
[0037] By controlling the working state of the stepper motor 51 and the rotation frequency of the baffle 54, the amount of tobacco shreds passing through each time can be controlled. Moreover, the comb tooth structure can separate the tobacco shreds, similar to the function of rake teeth, to prevent the tobacco shreds from clumping and being unable to be transferred.

The movable tray 62 is placed in the tray 63 of the electronic scale 61 and is located below the outlet side of the vibration trough 4. A conical wire holding trough is arranged in the movable tray 62.
[0039] Working process description:
[0040] The experimenters distribute the prepared tobacco with different recipes into different groups. When a certain group of tobacco needs to be evaluated, cigarettes are prepared first.
[0041] Take the tobacco of this group and feed it into the blanking channel 1. The tobacco is loosened by the cooperation of the tobacco loosening roller 3 and the guide plate 2 and transferred to the vibration trough 4 below the blanking channel 1. The vibration power of the vibration trough 4 is used as a driving force to move the tobacco along the inclined area below the front to the front discharge port, and the rotating return baffle mechanism 5 is used to control the amount of tobacco passing through, thereby achieving the purpose of quantitative transportation.
[0042] The weighing assembly 6 at the outlet performs real-time weighing and controls the start and stop of the aforementioned rotating material return baffle mechanism 5 and the tobacco loosening roller 3 in a linked manner, so as to accurately control the weight of the tobacco obtained each time, so as to ensure the quality of subsequent cigarette preparation.
