Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tobacco leaf conditioning equipment, and particularly relates to an upper knife gate pressing plate and a cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] The tobacco cutting machine used in the tobacco industry is one of the main equipment on the leaf conditioning line. It is responsible for evenly cutting tobacco materials into filaments to meet the requirements of subsequent leaf conditioning and cigarette manufacturing processes. To ensure the quality of the cut tobacco, theoretically, there should be no gap between the rotating cutting member and the fixed knife gate. In actual use, considering safety factors and to prevent the rotating cutting member from hitting the fixed knife gate, there is a certain theoretical gap between the cutting member and the knife gate. If the gap is too large, the cutting process cannot be effectively achieved, and phenomena such as "tobacco slice running" and "tobacco stem running" will occur to the cut tobacco or tobacco stems, affecting the quality of the cut tobacco.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN202323140818.7 provides a gap adjustment device. By calibrating the distance of the scale disk and rotating the adjustment screw to change the relative position between the knife gate and the cutting machine body, the above problems can be solved to a certain extent. However, in this solution, the knife gate is movably arranged, which greatly modifies the cutting machine, and the position will change due to the vibration during the operation of the cutting machine, so it still needs to be calibrated regularly, which is rather inconvenient. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of the existing situation, the utility model provides an upper knife gate pressing plate and a cutting machine, which are fixedly connected to the upper knife gate to reduce the gap and at least solve one of the above technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution provided by this application is an upper knife gate pressing plate, which is arranged between the upper knife gate and the cutting member of the cutting machine, and includes: a plate body, a connecting portion arranged on the plate body for connecting with the upper knife gate, and a pressing plane located at the bottom of the plate body and flush with the bottom surface of the upper knife gate. The gap distance between the edge of the pressing plane far from the cutting machine and the cutting member of the cutting machine is 0 - 2 mm.

[0006] Further, the plate body retains a sharp corner at the edge far from the cutting machine of the pressing plane, and the remaining edges are chamfered.

[0007] Further, the cutting machine includes side lining plates arranged at both ends in the length direction of the upper knife gate. The gap distance between the edge of the pressing plane far from the cutting machine and the side lining plates is 1.5 mm - 2 mm.

[0008] Further, the thickness and width of the plate body are at least 15 mm.

[0009] Further, starting from the pressing plane, the width of the plate body gradually decreases in the direction away from the pressing plane.

[0010] Further, the side of the plate body close to the cutting machine is a plane, and the included angle between the plane of the side of the plate body close to the cutting machine and the pressing plane is 60° - 70°.

[0011] Further, the connecting portion includes a plurality of screw holes for screwing with the upper knife gate.

[0012] Further, the connecting portion includes a groove for accommodating the head of the screw.

[0013] Further, it is made of ultra-fine grain hard alloy steel.

[0014] Another technical solution provided by this application is a cutting machine, including an upper knife gate and the above-mentioned upper knife gate pressing plate arranged on the upper knife gate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The upper knife gate pressing plate of this application is fixedly arranged on the outside of the upper knife gate of the cutting machine, and can quantitatively reduce the gap distance, and control the gap distance between the edge on the side away from the cutting machine of the pressing plane and the cutting member of the cutting machine to be 0 - 2 mm. Compared with the prior art solution of adjusting the installation position of the upper knife gate by using a screw rod, this application provides a pressing plate independent of the upper knife gate. Using this upper knife gate pressing plate to quantitatively reduce the gap distance between the pressing plate and the cutting member of the cutting machine is simple and relatively stable in implementation, and will not cause position changes due to the vibration of the cutting machine during operation. In addition, the pressing plate also has a certain protective effect on the upper knife gate, and even if a knife collision occurs, the upper knife gate will not be damaged.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] In this application, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features not being in direct contact but being in contact through other features between them.

The first feature being "below", "under", and "beneath" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicating that the first feature has a lower horizontal height than the second feature.

[0027] In the description of this embodiment, the orientation or positional relationships such as "above", "below", "left", "right", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to this application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-4, Embodiment 1 provides an upper knife gate pressing plate 100, which is arranged between the upper knife gate 200 and the cutting member 300 of the EVO615 tobacco cutter, and includes: a plate body 1, a connecting portion 2 arranged on the plate body 1 for connecting with the upper knife gate 200, and a pressing plane 3 located at the bottom of the plate body 1 and flush with the bottom surface of the upper knife gate 200. The clearance distance between the edge of the pressing plane 3 away from the tobacco cutter and the cutting member 300 of the tobacco cutter is 0 - 2 mm.

[0029] In the EVO615 tobacco cutter, when the tobacco leaves 500 are pressed tightly, if the clearance distance between the upper knife gate 200 and the cutting member 300 is too large, some of the tobacco leaves 500 will warp due to incomplete fitting, and the so-called "running sheet" phenomenon is likely to occur during the cutting process, resulting in problems such as uneven and irregular cutting of the tobacco leaves 500, seriously affecting the consistency of the cut tobacco and the quality of the final product. Ideally, the clearance distance between the pressing plate and the cutting member 300 of the tobacco cutter is 0, but this state is difficult to achieve and is extremely prone to knife collision. The applicant has found that controlling the clearance within 2 mm has a good production yield.

[0030] Such as Figure 3 , the upper knife gate pressing plate 100 of the present application is fixedly arranged outside the upper knife gate 200 of the tobacco cutter, and can quantitatively reduce the clearance distance, and control the clearance distance between the edge of the pressing plane 3 away from the tobacco cutter and the cutting member 300 of the tobacco cutter to be 0 - 2 mm, ( Figure 3 0 in ). Compared with the prior art solution of adjusting the installation position of the upper knife gate 200 using a screw, the present application provides a pressing plate independent of the upper knife gate 200. Using the upper knife gate pressing plate 100 to quantitatively reduce the clearance distance between the pressing plate and the cutting member 300 of the tobacco cutter is simple and relatively stable in implementation, and will not cause position changes due to the vibration of the tobacco cutter during operation. In addition, the pressing plate also has a certain protective effect on the upper knife gate 200, and the upper knife gate 200 will not be damaged even if a knife collision occurs.

[0031] In this embodiment, the plate body 1 retains a sharp corner at the edge of the pressing plane 3 away from the tobacco cutter, so that the edge of the plate body 1 close to the pressed sheet material is sharper and more precise, facilitating the control of the position of the upper knife gate pressing plate 100, and the sharp corner can provide a clearer boundary, which helps to accurately position and guide the tobacco leaves 500 during the cutting process. Especially in cutting applications that require high precision, it helps to generate a clearer cutting line when the tobacco leaves 500 contact the cutting member. Especially when the tobacco leaves 500 are relatively moist, the sharp corner can cooperate with the cutting member 300 to better separate the tobacco fiber, reduce adhesion, and improve the cutting cleanliness and efficiency. In this embodiment, the remaining edges are chamfered to ensure safety and reduce stress concentration.

[0032] In this embodiment, the thickness of the plate body 1 is 18.5 mm and the width is 19 mm. The thickness and width of the plate body 1 are at least 15 mm, so that the plate body 1 has sufficient strength when pressing the tobacco flakes and cutting the tobacco leaves 500.

[0033] Considering that the width of the pressing plane 3 is relatively wide, if the plate body 1 is set as a square column with the same overall width, it will be relatively bulky and not easy to install. To ensure strength and maintain the shape of the pressing plane 3, in this embodiment, starting from the pressing plane 3, the width of the plate body in the gap direction gradually decreases along the direction away from the pressing plane 3. In addition, the upper knife gate pressing plate 100 with this shape can break in time when hitting the knife at the included angle, which can protect the relatively expensive cutting piece 300.

[0034] Preferably, the side of the plate body 1 close to the tobacco slicer is a plane, which fits with the upper knife gate 200. The included angle between the plane of the side of the plate body 1 close to the tobacco slicer and the pressing plane 3 is 60° - 70°. In this embodiment, this included angle is 61.67°. The plate body 1 with this shape has relatively high strength when pressing flat, and the pressing plane 3 has relatively sharp sharp corners. In this embodiment, the connecting part 2 includes a plurality of screw holes for screwing with the upper knife gate 200. Screwing is convenient and detachable, and is easy to repair. Considering that the width of the pressing plane 3 is relatively wide, in this embodiment, the connecting part 2 also includes a groove for accommodating the head of the screw.

[0035] Such as Figure 4 Considering that when installing this upper knife gate pressing plate 100, the cutting piece 300 is not installed, and the distance from the cutting piece 300 is not easy to calibrate. And the existing tobacco slicers usually include side lining plates 400 provided at both ends in the length direction of the upper knife gate 200, and the distance between the edge of the side lining plate 400 and the cutting piece 300 is relatively fixed. In this embodiment, the gap distance between the edge of the pressing plane 3 away from the knife gate of the tobacco slicer and the edge of the side lining plate 400 is 1.5 mm - 2 mm, so that the gap distance between the edge of the pressing plane 3 away from the tobacco slicer and the cutting piece 300 of the tobacco slicer is 0 - 2 mm. Specifically, in this embodiment, the distance between the outer side of the upper knife gate 200 and the side lining plate 400 is 28 mm, the width of the pressing plane 3 is processed to be 25.2 mm, and when installing with screws, adjusting the tightness can control the gap distance between the edge of the pressing plane 3 away from the knife gate of the tobacco slicer and the edge of the side lining plate 400 to be 1.5 mm - 2 mm.

[0036] This embodiment is made of ultrafine-grained hard alloy steel, has extremely high hardness and wear resistance, is not easy to deform and wear, has a long service life, and greatly reduces the replacement times compared with other materials.

[0037] Embodiment 2 is a tobacco slicer, including the upper knife gate 200 and the upper knife gate pressing plate 100 of Embodiment 1 provided on the upper knife gate 200, including all the technical solutions and beneficial effects of Embodiment 1.

[0038] The content described above can be implemented alone or in various combinations, and these variant forms are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
