Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of control circuits, and more specifically, to a status indicating device for a winder and a winder. Background Art
[0002] In order to ensure safety, a safety interlocking component including a normally open contact and a normally closed contact is usually provided in the winder. Generally speaking, the winder can only operate normally when the normally closed contacts of all safety interlocking components are in a closed state. In other words, as long as one normally closed contact is in a disconnected state, the winder cannot operate normally. However, in the case of a disconnected normally closed contact, the staff is often required to manually find such a normally closed contact with the help of a multimeter or other equipment, which makes maintenance very inconvenient, leading to a decrease in production efficiency. Therefore, there is a need to improve the winder. Utility Model Content

[0027] Note that in the embodiments described below, the same reference numerals are sometimes used in common between different drawings to represent the same parts or parts with the same functions, and their repeated descriptions are omitted. In this specification, similar reference numerals and letters are used to represent similar items, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0028] For ease of understanding, the positions, sizes, and ranges of various structures shown in the drawings and the like sometimes do not represent actual positions, sizes, and ranges, etc. Therefore, the disclosed invention is not limited to the positions, sizes, and ranges, etc. disclosed in the drawings and the like. In addition, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, and some features may be exaggerated to show details of specific components. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure unless otherwise specifically stated.
[0030] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure and its application or use. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that they are merely exemplary, rather than exhaustive, ways in which the present disclosure may be implemented.
[0031] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.
[0032] In a winder, safety can generally be ensured by a safety interlock component including a normally open contact and a normally closed contact. When the safety interlock component is operating normally, one of the normally open contact and the normally closed contact is turned on while the other is turned off. For example, if the corresponding normally open contact is closed due to conditions such as the opening of a protective door, the normally closed contact corresponding to the normally open contact will be disconnected, causing the winder to stop working; and when the protective door is closed, the normally open contact remains disconnected, at which time the corresponding normally closed contact should be closed to allow the winder to operate normally. However, in some cases, when the safety interlock component fails, the normally closed contact may not be able to close normally, causing the winder to fail to operate normally, and since there may be multiple normally closed contacts connected in series in the winder, it often takes a lot of manpower and time to find the normally closed contact with problems, resulting in a decrease in production efficiency and an increase in production costs.
[0033] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure proposes a status indication device for a winder and a corresponding winder. By setting corresponding fault indication components corresponding to the normally closed contacts of the safety interlocking components, it helps to quickly find the normally closed contacts with problems, so as to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.
[0034] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cigarette maker may include a filament supply (VE) module 100, a cigarette shaping (SE) module 200, and a filter tipping (MAX) module 300 connected in series, wherein the filament supply module 100, the cigarette shaping module 200, and the filter tipping module 300 may be configured to form at least a part of the working circuit of the cigarette maker. For example, Figure 1 The electrical connection node 102 of the wire supply module 100 can be directly or indirectly connected to the Figure 2 The electrical connection node 201 of the cigarette shaping module 200 is connected to realize the series connection between the wire supply module 100 and the cigarette shaping module 200. Similarly, Figure 2 The node 202 of the cigarette shaping module 200 may be directly or indirectly connected to the Figure 3 The node 301 of the filter tipping module 300 is connected to realize the series connection between the cigarette forming module 200 and the filter tipping module 300. In this way, the wire supply module 100, the cigarette forming module 200 and the filter tipping module 300 connected in series can form at least a part of the working circuit of the cigarette rolling machine. In a specific example, the cigarette rolling machine of the present disclosure may include a ZJ17 type cigarette rolling machine. However, it can be understood that the status indication device described below can also be used for other types of cigarette rolling machines, which is not limited here.
[0035] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 4As shown, the cigarette rolling machine of the present disclosure may further include a status indicating device 400. In some embodiments, the status indicating device 400 may be provided corresponding to each protective door in each of the wire supply module 100, the cigarette forming module 200 and the filter tipping module 300. In other embodiments, at least two protective doors that are adjacent or close to each other (or easy to inspect together) may also share the same status indicating device 400, which is not limited here. In addition, as needed, corresponding status indicating devices 400 may also be provided corresponding to other components in the cigarette rolling machine except for the protective doors, which is not limited here. For example, Figure 1 As shown, corresponding to one or both of the protective doors S6 and S5 in the wire supply module 100, a corresponding status indicating device 400 may be provided respectively; Figure 2 As shown, corresponding to one or more of the protective doors S1, S2, S3, S40, S15 and S30 in the cigarette forming module 200, a corresponding status indicating device 400 can be respectively provided (in order to simplify the diagram, Figure 2 Only the status indicator corresponding to the protective door S1 is shown); and Figure 3 As shown, corresponding to one or more of the protective doors S15, S3.0, S16, S13, S3.1 and S18 in the filter tip module 300, a corresponding status indicator 400 may be provided (in order to simplify the diagram, Figure 3 Only the status indicator corresponding to the protective door S3.0 is shown).
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the state indicating device 400 may include a safety interlocking component 410 and a fault indicating component 420. The safety interlocking component 410 may include a normally open contact 411 and a normally closed contact 412. As described above, the normally open contact 411 may be configured to be arranged outside the working circuit of the winder, and the normally closed contact 412 may be configured to be connected in series in the working circuit of the winder, and when the safety interlocking component 410 operates normally, one of the normally open contact 411 and the normally closed contact 412 is turned on while the other is turned off. In this way, when all the normally closed contacts 412 in the winder connected in series in its working circuit are closed normally, its working circuit is turned on, and the winder can operate normally; and as long as any of the normally closed contacts 412 in the winder connected in series in its working circuit is turned off due to various reasons, the winder stops working.
[0037] One end of the fault indication component 420 can be connected to a preset potential end, and the other end can be connected to an end of the normally closed contact 412 away from the power supply (at Figure 4In the embodiment, the fault indication component 420 is connected to the node 22 relatively far away from the power supply among the nodes 21 and 22, so that when the normally closed contact 412 is turned on and off, the fault indication component 420 can be in different identifiable states respectively. In a specific example, one end of the fault indication component 420 can be connected to the ground terminal, and the other end can be connected to the end of the normally closed contact 412 far away from the power supply (for example, a 24V DC power supply). In this way, when the safety interlocking component 410 is operating normally and the normally open contact 411 is disconnected, the normally closed contact 412 will be closed, and the two ends of the fault indication component 420 will be connected to different potentials (for example, 0V and 24V) respectively and be in a powered state; and when the normally open contact 411 is closed or the safety interlocking component 410 fails, the normally closed contact 412 is in a disconnected state, and the fault indication component 420 will be in a non-powered state.
[0038] It should be noted that, when the safety interlocking component 410 operates normally but the normally open contact 411 is closed, and when the safety interlocking component 410 fails, the normally closed contact 412 may be in an open state, so that the fault indication component 420 is also in a non-powered state. In order to distinguish these two situations, in some embodiments, the state indication device 410 may also include a first programmable logic controller (PLC), which may be electrically connected to the normally open contact 411 of at least one safety interlocking component 410 to indicate whether the normally open contact 411 is operating normally or has failed. Further, in combination with the information indicated by the first PLC and the fault indication component 420, it can be determined whether the corresponding normally closed contact has failed.
[0039] Various forms of the fault indication component 420 may be used as required. In some embodiments, the fault indication component 420 may include a light emitting diode, which may be connected according to the potential of the preset potential end and the potential of the power supply, so that the light emitting diode is illuminated when the normally closed contact 412 is closed, and is extinguished when the normally closed contact 412 is disconnected, thereby indicating the state of the safety interlocking component 410. In other embodiments, the fault indication component 420 may include a relay with a light, and the output circuit of the relay with a light may be connected between the preset potential end and one end of the normally closed contact 412 away from the power supply (e.g., a 24V DC power supply). Similarly, when the normally closed contact 412 is closed, the output circuit of the relay with a light is connected, and its light is lit. On the contrary, the output circuit of the relay with a light cannot be connected, and its light is extinguished, thereby indicating the state of the safety interlocking component 410. In addition, the fault indication component 420 may also include a buzzer or an audible and visual alarm, etc., which may be similarly connected between the preset potential end and the end of the normally closed contact 412 away from the power supply to generate a corresponding sound signal or optical signal under appropriate circumstances, thereby helping to quickly identify the normally closed contact that may have a fault. It is understandable that the fault indication component 420 may also include corresponding markings, etc., on which the safety interlocking component, normally closed contact or protective door corresponding to the fault indication component 420 may be clearly marked, thereby helping to quickly identify the fault point and improve production efficiency.
[0040] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the status indication device may include multiple safety interlocking components 410. Among them, the normally closed contacts 411 of each safety interlocking component 410 in the multiple safety interlocking components 410 may be connected in series with each other, so that the winder can only work normally when all the normally closed contacts 411 of all the safety interlocking components 410 are closed. In addition, in some embodiments, for each safety interlocking component 410 in the multiple safety interlocking components 410, a corresponding fault indication component 420 may be provided. In this way, according to the fault indication component 420 that is in a corresponding identifiable state or generates a corresponding signal, the safety interlocking component 410 that may have a fault can be quickly and uniquely determined without manually troubleshooting, so that the maintenance process can be greatly simplified, the required maintenance time is reduced, the production efficiency is improved, and the production cost is reduced.
[0041] In some embodiments, the status indication device of the present disclosure may further include a second programmable logic controller (PLC), which may be communicatively connected to the fault indication component 420, and the second PLC may be configured to process electrical signals from the fault indication component 420, such as collecting, processing, converting, and visualizing signals from multiple fault indication components 420, so as to better display them to the user. For example, in the case where the fault indication component 420 includes a relay with light, the second PLC may be electrically connected to the input circuit of the relay with light, thereby obtaining a corresponding signal based on a change in the state of the output circuit. It is understandable that in the case where the fault indication component 420 is a component of other types, the second PLC and the fault indication component 420 may be communicatively connected in a corresponding manner to obtain the desired signal, which is not limited here.
[0042] In the technical solution disclosed in the present invention, by providing a status indication device including a safety interlocking component and a fault indication component, when a fault occurs in the series safety interlocking loop, the fault can be quickly and intuitively located according to the identifiable state of the fault indication component, and the problem can be discovered in time, thereby reducing maintenance time and improving production efficiency. In addition, the status indication device disclosed in the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to implement on various winders, and is low in cost.
