Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tobacco processing equipment, and particularly relates to a mechanical self-locking overload clutch for a YJ17 cigarette making machine. Background Technique
[0002] The leveling device belongs to the feeding and strip forming machine part of the cigarette making machine, and is a key device in the cigarette production process, which is of great significance for ensuring the uniformity of cigarette taste and reducing empty-end cigarettes. Before the cut tobacco is conveyed to the cigarette making equipment, the leveling device is used to trim the cut tobacco bundle to form a tight-end cigarette, so as to avoid product quality defects such as empty ends, air leakage or weight fluctuations in the cigarette. The leveling device drives the synchronous pulley to rotate by the driving main shaft, and then drives the splitting knife disc to trim the cut tobacco bundle. However, the design structure of the traditional leveling device drive mode is easy to be stuck by sundries such as stones, stainless steel screws, nuts, etc., resulting in damage to spare parts such as the splitting knife disc, wire brushing wheel, and even gearbox. At present, the leveling device usually adopts the following methods for safety protection: 1. Using a copper insurance pin as an overload protection device; 2. Using a steel ball or steel ball with a compression spring as an overload protection. Among them, the copper insurance pin belongs to a destructive insurance, with poor reliability. Once damaged, it needs to be replaced and the synchronization alignment between the shaft and the pulley needs to be re-done. The fault recovery time is long, and the copper insurance pin and the pin positioning hole are easy to wear and generate gaps, affecting the transmission accuracy, causing the tight-end position of the leveling disc to shift, forming empty-end cigarettes, and seriously affecting the product quality. In addition, there are impurities when the insurance pin is sheared, which may cause the transmission device to be stuck. Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is necessary to make improvements. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a mechanical self-locking overload clutch for a YJ17 cigarette making machine. By elastically guiding and installing a movable end cover on a T-shaped shaft fixedly connected to a toothed belt pulley, an outer end cover and an inner end cover, and making the trapezoidal block on the movable end cover fit and contact with the trapezoidal block on the outer end cover, when the leveling device is stuck and the torque is too large, the trapezoidal blocks in contact and cooperation gradually misalign and separate, pushing the movable end cover to move outwards until the self-locking part is adapted and positioned with the positioning groove, and the detection switch controls the locomotive to stop according to the position information detected after the movable end cover moves backward, solving the problems of poor reliability, long reset time and low precision of the traditional protection structure of the leveling device, eliminating the adverse effects of sundries on the cigarette, improving the cigarette quality, having a simple structure, sensitive reaction, high precision, good safety and reliability, and high use value.
[0004] Technical solution adopted by the utility model: The mechanical self-locking overload clutch of the YJ17 cigarette making machine includes a toothed belt pulley rotatably installed on the driving shaft sleeve, and an outer end cover and an inner end cover coaxially arranged on both sides of the toothed belt pulley. A T-shaped shaft is arranged on the outer side of the outer end cover, and the T-shaped shaft, the toothed belt pulley, the outer end cover and the inner end cover are fixedly connected into a whole by a plurality of screws evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. An active end cover axially movable along the T-shaped shaft is elastically guided and installed on the T-shaped shaft, and a self-locking member adapted to the positioning groove on the T-shaped shaft and used for positioning the active end cover is arranged on the active end cover. Trapezoidal blocks with corresponding positions and in contact with each other are fixed on the end faces of the active end cover and the outer end cover. When the leveller jams and causes excessive torque, the mutually contacting and cooperating trapezoidal blocks are gradually misaligned and separated, and during this process, the active end cover is pushed outward to move until the self-locking member is adapted to and positioned in the positioning groove. A detection switch for detecting the position of the active end cover is arranged on the outer side of the active end cover, and the detection switch is connected to the on-off circuit of the locomotive.
[0005] Wherein, two key grooves are symmetrically arranged on the small-diameter shaft section of the T-shaped shaft, and the keys installed in the key grooves are adapted to the guide grooves arranged on the inner hole wall of the active end cover. The part of the small-diameter shaft section of the T-shaped shaft passing through the inner hole of the active end cover is a screw rod, and the active end cover is elastically installed on the T-shaped shaft through a spring, a gasket sleeved on the screw rod and a nut adapted to the end of the screw rod.
[0006] Further, a convex ring is concentrically arranged on the outer end face of the active end cover, and the guide groove penetrates through the hole wall of the convex ring.
[0007] Further, the large-diameter disc of the T-shaped shaft and the toothed belt pulley, the outer end cover and the inner end cover are fixedly connected into a whole by a plurality of screws evenly distributed in the circumferential direction.
[0008] Further, the self-locking member includes a swing arm and a tension spring. One end of the swing arm is rotatably installed on the inner end face of the active end cover, and a semi-circular groove adapted to the positioning groove is arranged on the other end face of the swing arm. One end of the tension spring is fixed on the inner end face of the active end cover, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the hole on the face of the swing arm.
