[0002] During the cigarette production process, on the premise of ensuring the safety of tobacco products, the satisfaction and comfort of smokers need to be considered. Research shows that the internal quality of cigarettes, such as the ingredient ratio of tobacco products, the filling density of cut tobacco, and the filling uniformity, all have an impact on the aroma quality and the release amount of harmful components in the smoke. Therefore, laboratory personnel in tobacco companies will change the ingredient ratio of tobacco products to develop new formula tobacco products in order to improve the internal quality of cigarettes. When developing new formula tobacco products, it is necessary to prepare the formulated cut tobacco into cigarettes for smoking aroma testing. However, since they are test samples, the amount of formulated cut tobacco is small, and it is impossible to prepare formula cigarettes on the cigarette production line. Currently, most laboratory personnel manually fill the formulated cut tobacco into cigarette empty cylinders to obtain formula cigarettes, with extremely low filling efficiency and uncontrollable filling density. In order to obtain formula cigarettes more conveniently, some laboratory personnel will use some small cigarette machines on the market to fill the cigarette empty cylinders.
[0003] When filling the tobacco, it is necessary to first dock the cigarette empty cylinder with the tobacco filling structure. However, when the existing small cigarette machines realize the docking of the cigarette empty cylinder and the tobacco filling structure, there is often a problem that the cigarette empty cylinder and the tobacco filling structure come into contact and friction, resulting in wrinkling and damage at the port of the cigarette empty cylinder, making the docking difficult, leading to defects in the finished formula cigarettes and affecting the smoking aroma testing.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technical solution. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, and thus provide a cigarette empty cylinder anti-damage positioning and easy docking system. The utility model can avoid contact and friction when the cigarette empty cylinder is docked with the tobacco filling inlet pipe, prevent wrinkling and damage at the port of the cigarette empty cylinder, improve the docking quality of the cigarette empty cylinder, make the docking simple and fast, do not affect the tobacco filling work, ensure the quality of the finished formula cigarettes, and is beneficial to the smoking aroma testing.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a cigarette empty tube anti-damage positioning and easy-to-dock system, including a cigarette filling introduction tube, a cigarette filling module and a linear reciprocating drive mechanism, the cigarette filling introduction tube is installed on the cigarette filling module and is located on the side close to the cigarette empty tube, the cigarette filling module is installed on the linear reciprocating drive mechanism, the movement direction of the linear reciprocating drive mechanism is perpendicular to the axis of the cigarette empty tube, the axes of the cigarette empty tube and the cigarette filling introduction tube are parallel, the axis of the cigarette empty tube intersects with the movement trajectory of the cigarette filling introduction tube, the inner diameter of the cigarette empty tube is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the cigarette filling introduction tube, and the end of the cigarette filling introduction tube close to the cigarette empty tube is provided with a pointed conical claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure that docks with the cigarette empty tube.
[0007] Based on the above, the conical elastic positioning and expansion structure includes a plurality of elastic sheets, each of which is arranged in a circular array at intervals at one end of the cigarette filling inlet tube close to the cigarette empty tube, each of which is pointed at one end close to the cigarette empty tube and close to the center, and each of the elastic sheets is aligned with the outer circle of the connection between the cigarette filling inlet tube and the cigarette filling inlet tube.
[0008] Based on the above, the linear reciprocating drive mechanism includes a base plate, a stepper motor, a linear guide, a driving disk, a sliding plate and a connecting rod. The stepper motor and the linear guide are fixedly installed on the base plate at intervals. The motor shaft of the stepper motor is perpendicular to the linear guide and parallel to the axis of the empty cigarette tube. The driving disk is fixedly installed on the motor shaft of the stepper motor, and the sliding plate is slidably installed on the linear guide. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged at the eccentric part of the driving disk and the sliding plate.

[0012] Based on the above, the elastic sheet is integrally formed and connected with the smoke filling introduction tube.
[0013] Based on the above, the thickness of the elastic sheet is the same as the thickness of the smoke filling introduction tube.
[0014] The utility model has substantial characteristics and progress compared with the prior art. Specifically, the utility model drives the cigarette filling module to perform linear motion through a linear reciprocating drive mechanism, so that the cigarette filling module drives the cigarette filling introduction tube to move along a linear line and deviate so as to be aligned with the empty cigarette tube. The end of the cigarette filling introduction tube close to the cigarette empty tube bearing platform is provided with a pointed cone-claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure that is connected to the empty cigarette tube. The cone-claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure is a plurality of elastic sheets arranged on the end of the cigarette filling introduction tube close to the empty cigarette tube. The end of each elastic sheet close to the empty cigarette tube is pointed and close to the center. Therefore, when aligning the empty cigarette tube and the cigarette filling introduction tube, the tip of the cone-claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure can be directly aligned with the port of the empty cigarette tube. The tip is easier to align, so the cigarette filling introduction tube is aligned with the center of the empty cigarette tube, and then the empty cigarette tube is slowly moved toward the cigarette filling introduction tube. When the cigarette is moved, the empty cigarette tube is sleeved on the cone-claw shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure, and because the overall shape of the cone-claw shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure is conical, the empty cigarette tube can be automatically positioned when it is docked and sleeved on the cone-claw shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure until the empty cigarette tube is sleeved on the cigarette filling introduction tube, thereby avoiding contact friction when the empty cigarette tube and the cigarette filling introduction tube are docked, preventing the cigarette empty tube port from wrinkling and damage, improving the docking quality of the empty cigarette tube, and making the docking simple and quick. Then, the cigarette filling module fills the tobacco into the empty cigarette tube through the cigarette filling introduction tube. When the tobacco passes through the cone-claw shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure, the cone-claw shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure can be stretched open, so that each elastic sheet can be expanded, which does not affect the cigarette filling work. After the cigarette filling is completed, the cone-claw shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure shrinks and returns to its original state, and each elastic sheet shrinks toward the center to avoid the tobacco in the cigarette filling introduction tube from falling.

The cigarette filling introduction tube 1 is installed on the cigarette filling module 2 and is located on the side close to the cigarette empty tube 3. The cigarette filling module 2 is installed on the linear reciprocating drive mechanism. The movement direction of the linear reciprocating drive mechanism is perpendicular to the axis of the cigarette empty tube 3, the axis of the cigarette empty tube 3 and the cigarette filling introduction tube 1 are parallel, the axis of the cigarette empty tube 3 intersects with the movement trajectory of the cigarette filling introduction tube 1, the inner diameter of the cigarette empty tube 3 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the cigarette filling introduction tube 1, and the end of the cigarette filling introduction tube 1 close to the cigarette empty tube 3 is provided with a pointed conical claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure that is docked with the cigarette empty tube 3.
[0023] In this embodiment, the conical elastic positioning and expansion structure includes a plurality of elastic sheets 4, each of which is arranged in a circular array at intervals at one end of the cigarette filling inlet tube 1 close to the cigarette empty tube 3. The end of each elastic sheet 4 close to the cigarette empty tube 3 is pointed and close to the center, and the outer circle of the connection between each elastic sheet 4 and the cigarette filling inlet tube 1 is aligned.
[0024] In this embodiment, the linear reciprocating drive mechanism includes a base plate 5, a stepper motor 6, a linear guide 7, a drive disk 8, a sliding plate 9 and a connecting rod 10. The stepper motor 6 and the linear guide 7 are fixedly installed on the base plate 5 at intervals. The motor shaft of the stepper motor 6 is perpendicular to the linear guide 7 and parallel to the axis of the empty cigarette tube 3. The drive disk 8 is fixedly installed on the motor shaft of the stepper motor 6. The sliding plate 9 is slidably installed on the linear guide 7. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged on the eccentric part of the drive disk 8 and the sliding plate 9. The stepper motor 6, the linear guide 7, the drive disk 8, the sliding plate 9 and the connecting rod 10 constitute a crank-connecting rod 10 slider mechanism, and the cigarette filling module 2 is installed on the sliding plate 9.
[0025] In this embodiment, the outer contour of the elastic sheet 4 is a conical surface.
[0026] In this embodiment, the elastic sheet 4 is made of an elastic material, which may be an elastic alloy, elastic steel, rubber or elastomeric plastic.
[0027] In this embodiment, the elastic sheet 4 is integrally connected to the cigarette filling introduction tube 1 .
[0028] In this embodiment, the thickness of the elastic sheet 4 is the same as the thickness of the cigarette filling introduction tube 1 .
[0029] During operation, the stepper motor 6 drives the driving disk 8 to rotate, and the driving disk 8 drives the sliding plate 9 to make a linear reciprocating motion on the linear guide rail 7 through the connecting rod 10, thereby driving the cigarette filling module 2 to make a linear reciprocating motion, and the cigarette filling module 2 can drive the cigarette filling introduction tube 1 to move along a straight line, and deviate so as to align with the cigarette empty tube. When aligning the cigarette empty tube 3 and the cigarette filling introduction tube 1, the tip of the cone claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure is directly aligned with the port of the cigarette empty tube 3. The tip is easier to align, so the center of the cigarette filling introduction tube 1 and the cigarette empty tube 3 are aligned, and then the cigarette empty tube 3 is slowly moved toward the cigarette filling introduction tube 1, and the cigarette empty tube 3 is sleeved on the cone claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure. And because the overall shape of the cone claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure is conical, the cigarette empty tube 3 is docked. When it is sleeved on the conical claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure, automatic positioning can be achieved until the empty cigarette tube 3 is sleeved on the cigarette filling introduction tube 1, thereby ensuring that the empty cigarette tube 3 and the cigarette filling introduction tube 1 are accurately aligned, thereby avoiding contact friction when the empty cigarette tube 3 and the cigarette filling introduction tube 1 are connected, preventing the end of the empty cigarette tube 3 from wrinkling and damage, improving the connection quality of the empty cigarette tube 3, and making the connection simple and quick. Then, the cigarette filling module 2 fills the tobacco into the empty cigarette tube 3 through the cigarette filling introduction tube 1. When the tobacco passes through the conical claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure, the conical claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure can be stretched open to expand each elastic sheet 4 without affecting the cigarette filling work. After the cigarette filling is completed, the conical claw-shaped elastic positioning and expansion structure shrinks and returns to its original state, and each elastic sheet 4 shrinks toward the center to avoid the tobacco in the cigarette filling introduction tube from falling.
