Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of tobacco production, and particularly to a cylinder-driven sample presser. Background Art

[0002] Tobacco re-drying refers to the process of baking the preliminarily modulated raw tobacco again. The main purpose is to adjust the moisture content of the tobacco leaves for safe storage. The pressing of the finished block sample is an important part of it, which provides an important basis for the quality stability of the finished sliced tobacco in the early, middle, and late stages of the re-drying process of tobacco leaves from different production batches. The size standard of the finished block sample is 30 cm × 20 cm × 5 cm, and the weight requirement is 3000 g ± 300 g.

[0003] In the prior art, the finished block samples are usually made by manual pressing.

[0004] However, when making the finished block samples, the length and width of a single finished block sample are basically the same, with good stability. However, there are significant fluctuations in the thicknesses of different finished block samples. The influencing factors for the fluctuations in the thicknesses of different finished block samples are: the influence brought by the method of making the finished block samples itself. When making the finished block samples manually, there is a phenomenon that different operators apply different pressures to the finished block samples during the pressing process. Even when the same operator performs repeated pressing, it cannot be ensured that the pressures applied to the finished block samples in the front and back are the same. Utility Model Content

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art of this technology to better understand the solution of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The embodiment of this application provides a cylinder-driven sample press, which can solve the problem that the thicknesses of different finished block samples are different in the prior art.

[0032] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the embodiment of a cylinder-driven sample press provided by this application includes: an operating table 7, a press head 2, a first driving assembly, and a second driving assembly. A sample cigarette box 3 for placing a finished block sample is provided on the upper surface of the operating table 7, and the sample cigarette box 3 is a frame. The press head 2 is located directly above the sample cigarette box 3 and is dimensionally matched with the sample cigarette box 3, and the press head 2 can extend into the interior of the sample cigarette box 3. The first driving assembly is connected to the press head 2, and the first driving assembly is used to control the press head 2 to rise or fall. The second driving assembly is connected to the sample cigarette box 3, and the second driving assembly is used to control the sample cigarette box 3 to rise or fall.

[0033] In this embodiment, the sample cigarette box 3 is a rectangular frame, and the finished block sample is placed in the rectangular frame.

[0034] In this application, when pressing the finished block sample, the sample cigarette box 3 is located on the upper surface of the operating table 7, the first driving assembly drives the press head 2 to descend to a preset position, and presses the finished block sample in the sample cigarette box 3. After the pressing is completed, the second driving assembly drives the sample cigarette box 3 to rise until the bottom edge of the sample cigarette box 3 completely leaves the finished block sample, and the first driving assembly drives the press head 2 to rise to the initial position.

[0035] In this application, the finished block sample in the sample cigarette box 3 is compacted by using the pressure of the indenter 2. Since the pressure distribution of the first driving component on the indenter 2 is uniform, the force on the finished block sample in the sample cigarette box 3 is more uniform, avoiding the problem of different thicknesses of the finished block sample caused by uneven pressure applied to the finished block sample during manual compaction. At the same time, machinery replaces manual labor, reducing the labor force required in the production process and saving production costs.

[0036] In some other embodiments, the sample cigarette box 3 can also be a frame of other shapes, as long as it matches the required shape of the finished block sample.

[0037] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned sample compactor further includes a frame 5. The frame 5 is located outside the sample cigarette box 3 and the indenter 2. The frame 5 includes a plurality of columns 51 and a top plate 52 installed on the columns 51. Connecting rods 53 are provided between adjacent two columns 51. The first driving component is located on the upper surface of the top plate 52, the indenter 2 is located below the top plate 52, and the first driving group passes through the top plate 52 and is connected to the indenter 2. The second driving component is located on the upper surface of the connecting rod 53. By setting the frame 5, it is convenient for the first driving component to control the indenter 2 to rise or fall.

[0038] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, further, the above-mentioned first driving component includes a first air cylinder 1 and a first control valve 8. The first piston rod 11 of the first air cylinder 1 passes through the top plate 52 and is connected to the indenter 2. The first control valve 8 is connected to the first air cylinder 1 through a pipeline. The first control valve 8 controls the first piston rod 11 of the first air cylinder 1 to drive the indenter 2 to rise or fall.

[0039] It should be noted that one end of the first air cylinder 1 is connected to the compressed air system of the production workshop. The first control valve 8 is connected to the first air cylinder 1 through a pipeline. When the first control valve 8 is lifted, the first control valve 8 controls the first piston rod 11 of the first air cylinder 1 to drive the indenter 2 to rise. When the first control valve 8 is pressed down, the first control valve 8 controls the first piston rod 11 of the first air cylinder 1 to drive the indenter 2 to fall.

[0040] Such as Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the above further includes a limiting rod 6. The limiting rod 6 is a telescopic rod, which includes an inner rod and an outer rod. The limiting rod 6 is located on the side of the first cylinder 1, one end of which is connected to the end of the first cylinder 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the pressing head 2. When the first cylinder 1 descends, the limiting rod 6 extends correspondingly. When the first cylinder 1 ascends, the limiting rod 6 shortens correspondingly. By setting the limiting rod 6, the problem that the pressing head 2 deflects due to excessive pressure of the first cylinder 1 during the descending process of the first cylinder 1 is avoided.

[0041] Furthermore, scale lines are provided on the outer surfaces of both the outer rod and the inner rod of the telescopic limiting rod 6. Since different finished block samples need to be pressed into the same thickness, by providing scale lines on the outer surfaces of both the outer rod and the inner rod of the telescopic limiting rod 6, it is convenient to read the descending height of the first cylinder 1, and thus it is convenient for the first driving assembly to drive the pressing head 2 to descend to the same preset position, making the thickness of different finished block samples consistent.

[0042] As Figure 1 、As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the above second driving assembly includes a second cylinder 4 and a second control valve 9. The second piston rod (not shown in the figure) of the second cylinder 4 is connected to the sample cigarette box 3. The second control valve 9 is connected to the first cylinder 1 through a pipeline, and the second control valve 9 controls the second piston rod of the second cylinder 4 to drive the sample cigarette box 3 to rise or fall.

[0043] It should be noted that one end of the second cylinder 4 is connected to the compressed air system of the production workshop. The second control valve 9 is connected to the second cylinder 4 through a pipeline. When the second control valve 9 is lifted, the second control valve 9 controls the second piston rod of the second cylinder 4 to drive the sample cigarette box 3 to rise. When the first control valve 8 is pressed down, the first control valve 8 controls the first piston rod 11 of the first cylinder 1 to drive the sample cigarette box 3 to descend.

[0044] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of the second cylinders 4 is two, and the two second cylinders 4 are respectively connected to two sides of the sample cigarette box 3. By setting two second cylinders 4, it is convenient to control the rise or fall of the sample cigarette box 3.

[0045] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned indenter 2 includes a support block 21 and a pressing plate 22. The support block 21 is connected to the first driving component. The pressing plate 22 is located below the support block 21. The pressing plate 22 faces the sample cigarette box 3, and the internal dimensions of the pressing plate 22 match those of the sample cigarette box 3. The pressing plate 22 can extend into the interior of the sample cigarette box 3. By setting the indenter 2 in this structure, the indenter 2 has sufficient stiffness and strength, facilitating the compaction of the finished block sample in the sample cigarette box 3.

[0046] Further, the side of the above-mentioned pressing plate 22 facing the sample cigarette box 3 is made of soft silicone material. By setting the pressing plate 22 in this structure, it is possible to prevent the situation where the pressing plate 22 damages the finished block sample in the sample cigarette box 3.

[0047] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, a trapezoidal frame is further provided around the outer surface of the above-mentioned sample cigarette box 3. The trapezoidal frame is a regular trapezoid, with its short side adjacent to the top of the sample cigarette box 3, and the hypotenuse is connected to the second driving component. By providing the trapezoidal frame, it is convenient for the second driving component to be connected to the sample cigarette box 3.

[0048] In a second aspect, the present application provides an embodiment of the use of a cylinder-driven sample press. Place the finished block sample to be compacted in the sample cigarette box 3, place the sample cigarette box 3 on the upper surface of the operating table 7, start the first driving component, and the first driving component drives the indenter 2 to descend to a preset position and press the finished block sample in the sample cigarette box 3. After the downward pressing is completed, start the second driving component, and the second driving component drives the sample cigarette box 3 to rise until the bottom edge of the sample cigarette box 3 completely leaves the finished block sample, and then start the first driving component, and the first driving component drives the indenter 2 to rise to the initial position.

[0049] In summary, in the present application, a sample cigarette box 3 for placing the finished block sample is provided on the upper surface of the operating table 7. The indenter 2 is located directly above the sample cigarette box 3 and matches the size of the sample cigarette box 3. The first driving component is connected to the indenter 2, and the first driving component drives the indenter 2 to rise or fall. The second driving component is connected to the sample cigarette box 3, and the second driving component drives the sample cigarette box 3 to rise or fall. When compacting the finished block sample, the sample cigarette box 3 is located on the upper surface of the operating table 7, and the first driving component drives the indenter 2 to descend to a preset position and press the finished block sample in the sample cigarette box 3. After the downward pressing is completed, the second driving component drives the sample cigarette box 3 to rise until the bottom edge of the sample cigarette box 3 completely leaves the finished block sample, and the first driving component drives the indenter 2 to rise to the initial position.

[0050] In this application, the finished block sample in the sample cigarette box 3 is compacted by using the pressure of the indenter. Since the pressure distribution of the first driving component on the indenter 2 is uniform, the force on the finished block sample in the sample cigarette box 3 is more uniform, avoiding the problem of different thicknesses of the finished block samples caused by uneven pressure applied to the finished block samples during manual compaction. At the same time, machinery replaces manpower, reducing the labor force required in the production and processing process and saving the production and processing costs.
