Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette rod quality detection, in particular to a conveying device for cigarette rods and filter rods. Background Art

[0002] Tobacco enterprises are constantly updating technologies on filter rod forming, tobacco processing, and cigarette making and packaging equipment. Therefore, in order to control the production quality of cigarette rods, it is necessary to regularly detect cigarette rods or filter rods during the production process.

[0003] At present, during the production process, most of the detections of related products are carried out by manually extracting samples from the production line for testing, or by means of positive pressure or negative pressure transmission. However, this transmission method will affect the quality of the cigarette rods and filter rods to be tested due to the bending of the air pressure transmission channel and the air delivery system. There is no effective protection for the samples during the transmission process, which not only causes physical deformation of the samples, but also causes wire dropping at the ends of the cigarette rods, directly affecting the quality of the samples.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides a conveying device for cigarette rods and filter rods. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a conveying device for cigarette rods and filter rods aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, aiming to solve the problem that the quality of existing cigarette rods and filter rods will be affected during the detection and transmission processes.

[0006] The utility model realizes the above purpose through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A conveying device for cigarette rods and filter rods is arranged on one side of a cigarette rod and filter rod detection system, and includes: a feeding bin for placing products to be tested, a feeding channel for guiding the products to be tested to fall downward is arranged below the feeding bin, a roller for conveying the products to be tested is arranged below the feeding channel, a first driving mechanism for driving the roller to rotate is arranged on the roller, a plurality of grooves are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the surface of the roller, the width of the grooves is equal to the width of the products to be tested, and a separation inclined plate for receiving and guiding the rolling direction of the products to be tested is connected to one side of the roller.

[0008] Furthermore, the conveying device for cigarette rods and filter rods further includes a centering module and a centering mechanism. The centering mechanism is connected to the driving end of the centering module. The centering mechanism is arranged on both sides of the separation inclined plate, and the centering module drives the centering mechanism to move towards the products to be tested.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion for preventing the products to be tested from falling is arranged at the end of the separation inclined plate far away from the roller.

[0010] Further, the separation inclined plate is arranged in an inclined L-shaped structure.

[0011] Further, a fork piece for transferring the product to be tested is arranged on one side of the separation inclined plate, and a second driving mechanism for driving the fork piece to rotate is arranged on the fork piece.

[0012] Further, a plurality of through holes are formed at one end of the separation inclined plate away from the roller, a hook groove is arranged at the end of the fork piece, and the hook groove is arranged corresponding to the through holes.

[0013] Further, the width of the through hole is equal to the thickness of the fork piece.

[0014] Further, the number of the through holes is set to three. When the product to be tested is located on the separation inclined plate, the positions of the three through holes respectively correspond to the head, middle part, and tail of the product to be tested.

[0015] Further, the feed bin is arranged in a V-shaped structure.

[0016] Further, the first driving mechanism is arranged as a belt transmission mechanism.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0018] By arranging the first driving mechanism to drive the roller to rotate, the product to be tested in the feed bin falls into the groove on the roller through the feed channel. Since the roller is still rotating continuously at this time, the product to be tested in the groove is conveyed to the separation inclined plate, and the operation of single-sampling the product to be tested is completed. During the whole operation process, the product to be tested is not contacted and damaged, ensuring the quality of the product to be tested to the greatest extent. Description of the Drawings

Detailed Embodiments

[0023] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, the present utility model provides a conveying device for cigarettes and filter rods, comprising: a feeding bin 10 for placing a product 70 to be tested, a feeding channel 101 is arranged below the feeding bin 10 for guiding the product 70 to be tested to fall downward, a roller 20 for conveying the product 70 to be tested is arranged below the feeding channel 101, a first driving mechanism 201 for driving the roller 20 to rotate is arranged on the roller 20, a plurality of grooves 202 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the surface of the roller 20, the width of the grooves 202 is equal to the width of the product 70 to be tested, and a separating inclined plate 30 for receiving and guiding the rolling direction of the product 70 to be tested is connected to one side of the roller 20.

[0025] In the present utility model, the first driving mechanism 201 is arranged to drive the roller 20 to rotate, the product 70 to be tested in the feeding bin 10 falls into the grooves 202 on the roller 20 through the feeding channel 101. Since the roller 20 is still rotating at this time, the product 70 to be tested in the grooves 202 is conveyed onto the separating inclined plate 30, completing the operation of single-sampling the product 70 to be tested. During the whole operation process, there is no contact or damage to the product 70 to be tested, ensuring the quality of the product 70 to be tested to the greatest extent.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the device can be placed between the production line and the cigarette and filter rod detection system, used to receive the produced cigarettes and filter rods (test products 70) and transport them to the detection system without contact and damage. First, a large number of the test products 70 are put into the feeding bin 10, and then guided by the feeding channel 101 to fall onto the roller 20. Since a number of the grooves 202 are circumferentially formed on the surface of the roller 20, and the width of each groove 202 is equal to the width of the test product 70, it follows that each groove 202 can only accommodate one test product 70. When the first driving mechanism 201 drives the roller 20 to rotate to a certain angle, that is, when the notch of the groove 202 faces downward, the test product 70 in the groove 202 will slide from the groove 202 to the separation inclined plate 30 due to the action of gravity, completing the process of transporting a single test product 70. Since the first driving mechanism 201 can drive the roller 20 to continuously rotate, and a number of grooves 202 matching the test product 70 are formed on the roller 20, the device can continuously transport the test products 70 one by one, further improving the transport efficiency of the test products 70 on the basis of ensuring the quality of the test products 70. In addition, a control unit can be provided here to control the actions of the entire device and achieve automatic operation.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the conveying device for cigarettes and filter rods further includes a centering module 40 and a centering mechanism 50. The centering mechanism 50 is connected to the driving end of the centering module 40, and the centering mechanism 50 is arranged on both sides of the separation inclined plate 30. The centering module 40 drives the centering mechanism 50 to move towards the test product 70.

[0028] To ensure that the test product 70 can accurately fall onto the separation inclined plate 30, the length of the separation inclined plate 30 is generally slightly greater than the length of the test product 70. This design prevents the test product 70 from falling, but also gives rise to the problem that it is inconvenient to accurately position and pick up the test product 70 on the separation inclined plate 30 in the next process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the centering module 40 and the centering mechanism 50 are also provided. The centering module 40 is used to drive the centering mechanisms 50 on both sides of the test product 70 to move towards the middle, realizing the centering and positioning of the test product 70. Specifically, in this embodiment, at least two adjustable centering mechanisms 50 are included to adapt to the positioning of test products 70 of different sizes. In addition, the driving mechanism in the centering module 40 can be electric or pneumatic to achieve fast and accurate centering and positioning.

[0029] As Figure 1As shown, a limiting protrusion 301 for preventing the product under test 70 from falling is provided at the end of the separating inclined plate 30 away from the roller 20. The separating inclined plate 30 is arranged in an inclined L-shaped structure.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the design and function of the limiting protrusion 301 can prevent the product under test 70 from falling or shifting during transmission. The entire separating inclined plate 30 is arranged in an inclined L-shaped structure, which can effectively guide the product under test 70 to slide along the separating inclined plate 30 after falling from the groove 202, and the product under test 70 abuts against the limiting protrusion 301 to prevent it from falling. Therefore, this design ensures the stability and safety of the product under test 70.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, a fork piece 60 for transferring the product under test 70 is arranged on one side of the separating inclined plate 30. A second driving mechanism 601 for driving the fork piece 60 to rotate is arranged on the fork piece 60. A plurality of through holes 302 are formed at one end of the separating inclined plate 30 away from the roller 20. A hook groove 602 is arranged at the end of the fork piece 60, and the hook groove 602 is arranged corresponding to the through holes 302. The width of the through holes 302 is equal to the thickness of the fork piece 60.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the product under test 70 is centered and positioned on the separating inclined plate 30, the second driving mechanism 601 drives the fork piece 60 to rotate, which is clockwise rotation here. Since the width of the through holes 302 is adapted to the thickness of the fork piece 60, it is convenient for the fork piece 60 to pass through the through holes 302 and rotate. At this time, the hook groove 602 on the fork piece 60 transfers the product under test 70 on the separating inclined plate 30 to the fork piece 60. This design enables the fork piece 60 to achieve precise positioning and fixation through the cooperation of the hook groove 602 and the through holes 302 during the movement process. Furthermore, it can ensure that the fork piece 60 can accurately remove the product under test 70 from the separating inclined plate 30, thereby improving the degree of automation and efficiency.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the number of the through holes 302 is set to three. When the product under test 70 is located on the separating inclined plate 30, the positions of the three through holes 302 respectively correspond to the head, middle, and tail of the product under test 70.

[0034] After the product 70 to be tested is centered and positioned on the separation inclined plate 30, the positions of the three through holes 302 respectively correspond to the head, middle, and tail of the product 70 to be tested. At this time, the second driving mechanism 601 drives the fork piece 60 to rotate, so that the hook groove 602 on the fork piece 60 is aligned with the corresponding position of the product 70 to be tested, thereby enabling the product 70 to be tested to be quickly removed from the separation inclined plate 30, improving the conveying efficiency.

[0035] As Figure 1 shown, the feeding bin 10 is arranged in a V-shaped structure.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the interior of the feeding bin 10 is arranged in a V-shaped structure. The V-shaped structure design can prevent a large number of the products 70 to be tested from accumulating and blocking. Due to the special shape of the V-shaped structure, the products 70 to be tested will naturally flow to the lower end after entering the feeding bin 10, thereby reducing the friction between the products 70 to be tested and the bin wall and avoiding the blockage problem caused by product accumulation. Moreover, during the feeding process, sliding down along the V-shaped structure can play a buffering role, further avoiding damage to the products 70 to be tested.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the first driving mechanism 201 is arranged as a belt drive mechanism.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 201 is not limited to a belt drive mechanism. The first driving mechanism 201 can be selected as any driving mechanism according to actual requirements. The main purpose of the first driving mechanism 201 is to drive the roller 20 to rotate. Therefore, any driving mechanism that can achieve this purpose can be used as the first driving mechanism 201 in this embodiment.

[0039] In summary, it can be seen that the present utility model has the above-mentioned excellent characteristics, enabling it to enhance the efficiency that has never been achieved in the prior art during use and having practicality, thus becoming a product with extremely high practical value.

[0040] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, based on the idea of the present utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
