In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meanings.

[0027] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the impurity removal device provided in this embodiment facilitates the operator to timely grasp the working condition of the impurity removal part 110, thereby saving labor costs, avoiding damage to the impurity removal equipment, and ensuring the processing quality of tobacco. Specifically, the impurity removal device includes an impurity removal mechanism 100 and a monitoring mechanism 200: the impurity removal mechanism 100 includes an impurity removal part 110 and a feeding belt 120 communicated with the discharge port of the impurity removal part 110; the monitoring mechanism 200 includes a sensor 210 and a display component 220. The sensor 210 is arranged on the feeding belt 120 and is used to sense the material flow condition on the feeding belt 120. The sensor 210 and the display component 220 are communicatively connected.

[0028] Since the sensor 210 is arranged on the feeding belt 120, when the impurity removal part 110 finishes removing impurities from the tobacco leaves and discharges through the feeding belt 120, the sensor 210 can sense whether there is any impurity-removed material passing through the feeding belt 120. If no impurity-removed material passes through the sensing area of the feeding belt 120 within a specific time, it indicates that the impurity removal part 110 has a blockage phenomenon. The sensor 210 transmits the blockage signal to the display component 220, and the current state of the impurity removal part 110 is displayed through the display component 220; the operator can timely discover and turn off the impurity removal part 110 according to the display information of the display component, thereby avoiding serious blockages of the impurity removal part 110 and the front and rear auxiliary belt conveyors; thus, it can avoid the situation that the impurity removal part 110 is damaged due to blockage of the impurity removal part 110 or the processing quality of tobacco is affected, thereby reducing the processing cost and saving time and labor costs. In addition, during the whole working process, without the operator constantly paying attention to the condition of the discharge port of the impurity removal part 110, the working condition of the impurity removal part 110 can also be timely grasped, thereby further saving labor costs.

[0029] In this embodiment, the sensor 210 is set as a photoelectric sensor. The specific structure of the photoelectric sensor refers to the prior art and will not be elaborated here. In some other embodiments, the sensor 210 can also be set as a weight sensor. The weight sensor is arranged on the bottom wall of the feeding belt 120. When there is impurity-removed material passing through the weight sensor, the weight sensor is in a normal state. When the weight sensor does not sense that there is impurity-removed material passing through the weight sensing area of the feeding belt 120 within a certain time, it indicates that the impurity removal part 110 has a blockage phenomenon. The weight sensor transmits the blockage signal to the display component 220.

[0030] Furthermore, the display component 220 includes a discrimination display part 221 and a control part 222. The discrimination display part 221 is communicatively connected with the sensor 210 and the control part 222.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the discrimination display member 221 is set as a lighting prompt member, and the impurity removal member 110 and the front and rear auxiliary connection devices are all controlled by the line device start-stop switch for their operating states. The lighting display member is used to display the situation that the photoinductive sensor 210 monitors that there are impurity-removed materials on the feeding belt 120. If the impurity-removed materials pass through the photoinductive area, the discrimination display member 221 directly flashes the light to prompt the operator that the impurity removal member 110 has an abnormality; when no impurity-removed materials pass through the photoinductive area within three consecutive seconds, an abnormal signal is directly transmitted to the control member 222, and the control member 222 controls the safety interlock program of the wireless device start-stop switch to be unlocked. At this time, the operator presses the wireless device start-stop switch to stop the operation of the impurity removal member 110 and its front and rear auxiliary connection devices. When the photoinductive sensor continuously senses that the impurity-removed materials pass through the photoinductive area again within three consecutive seconds, the discrimination display member 221 stops flashing the light. Since the wireless device start-stop switch cannot start or stop the device under the normal production operation state, only during the production process, when it is monitored by the photoinductive sensor that there is an interruption for three consecutive seconds, the start-stop function of the wireless device start-stop switch will be unlocked by the safety interlock program, thereby preventing the device from stopping operation due to misoperation.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the discrimination display member 221 can also be set as a sound effect prompt member to prompt the operator that the impurity removal member 110 has an abnormality by emitting a sound. Or, when the photoinductive sensor 210 does not sense that there are impurity-removed materials on the feeding belt 120 passing through the sensing area, the time interval from emitting the prompt information to the start of the controller can be set to two seconds, four seconds, etc. according to actual requirements.

[0033] Preferably, the monitoring mechanism 200 further includes an installation assembly 230. The sensor 210 is arranged on the feeding belt 120 through the installation assembly 230, which reduces the installation difficulty when installing the sensor 210 on the feeding belt 120, and at the same time improves the connection strength and connection stability of the sensor 210 after being installed on the feeding belt 120, thereby further ensuring the sensing effect of the sensor 210. Specifically, the installation assembly 230 includes an installation bracket 231, the installation bracket 231 is fixedly connected to the feeding belt 120, and the sensor 210 is connected to the installation bracket 231.

[0034] Furthermore, the installation assembly 230 further includes a protective member 232. The protective member 232 is connected to the installation bracket 231, and a protective cavity is arranged inside the protective member 232, and the sensor 210 is arranged in the protective cavity.

[0035] Specifically, the protection cavity is set as an open cavity, and the sensing area of the sensor 210 faces the opening of the protection cavity. This ensures the sensing effect of the sensor 210, and at the same time, the protection member 232 protects the sensor 210. During the operation of the impurity removal mechanism 100, the protection member 232 can prevent external components or the impurity-removed materials from damaging the sensor 210, further improving the accuracy of the sensing result of the sensor 210 and extending the service life of the sensor 210.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting assembly 230 further includes a shock-absorbing member 233, and the shock-absorbing member 233 is disposed between the inner wall of the protection cavity and the sensor 210.

[0037] During the process of the conveyor belt transporting the impurity-removed materials, mechanical vibrations will occur; at the same time, during the impurity removal process of the impurity removal member 110, the impurity removal member 110 will generate mechanical vibrations. Since the conveyor belt 120 is connected to the discharge port of the impurity removal member 110, the mechanical vibrations of the conveyor belt will be intensified. By providing the shock-absorbing member 233 in the protection cavity, the vibration force transmitted to the sensor 210 through the conveyor belt, the mounting bracket 231, and the protection frame can be weakened, thereby achieving the purpose of shock-absorbing the sensor 210 and ensuring the use stability and use effect of the sensor 210.

[0038] Furthermore, the shock-absorbing member 233 is set as a flexible member or a shock-absorbing spring.

[0039] Specifically, when the shock-absorbing member 233 is set as a flexible member, rubber, silica gel, sponge, or foam plastic can be used. When the shock-absorbing member 233 is set as a shock-absorbing spring, both ends of the shock-absorbing spring are respectively connected to the inner wall of the protection cavity and the sensor 210; and a plurality of shock-absorbing springs are provided, and the plurality of shock-absorbing springs are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the protection cavity. During the operation of the impurity removal mechanism 100, through the stretching and contraction of the plurality of shock-absorbing springs, the purpose of shock-absorbing the sensor 210 is achieved.

[0040] Furthermore, a receiving groove 122 is provided on the side wall 121 of the conveyor belt 120, and the mounting assembly 230 is disposed in the receiving groove 122. Thus, when the conveyor belt conveys the impurity-removed materials, the situation where the conveyance of the impurity-removed materials or the sensing accuracy of the sensor 210 is affected due to the interference between the impurity-removed materials and the monitoring mechanism 200 is avoided.

[0041] Furthermore, two sensors 210 are provided, and the two sensors 210 are respectively oppositely disposed on the two side walls 121 of the conveyor belt 120, and two corresponding mounting assemblies 230 are provided. Since the two sensors 210 are oppositely disposed, the two sensors 210 are both communicatively connected to the same discrimination and display member 221. By the mutual cooperation of the two sensors 210, the material transmission situation on the conveyor belt is monitored from both sides of the conveyor belt, and the situation where the whole machine stops operating due to the material approaching one side of the conveyor belt at a certain time period is avoided.

[0042] In some other embodiments, according to the actual situation of the material conveying belt, the sensors 210 can be set to three, five, seven, etc., and each sensor 210 is communicatively connected to the same discrimination display member 221.

[0043] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
