The tensioning block 300 is slidably arranged in the ramp groove 211, and the two outer side walls of the tensioning block 300 are provided with sliding grooves 310 matching the inclined guide bar 2111, and the tensioning block 300 is slidably inserted in the slot 121 and can move radially along the cylinder 100; the bottom cover 400 is sealed and installed on the cylinder mouth of the cylinder 100, and an elastic member 500 is provided between the bottom cover 400 and the second end of the sliding assembly 200; the connecting member 600 is passed through the bottom cover 400 and is connected to the air duct through a pipeline.

[0042] The above-mentioned reel tensioning device is provided with a sliding assembly 200 and a tensioning block 300 in the cylinder 100. When in use, the external pneumatic part is opened, and the pneumatic part introduces gas into the airway through the connector 600. The gas enters the sealed cavity through the airway. Under the action of the gas pressure, the sliding assembly 200 overcomes the supporting force of the elastic member 500 and moves along the axial direction of the cylinder 100 toward the bottom cover 400. The tensioning block 300 slides relatively in the ramp groove 211 and is locked in the notch 12. 1 along the radial direction of the cylinder 100, the multiple tensioning blocks 300 approach each other, and the reel tensioning device is in a relaxed state. After the pneumatic component is closed, the sliding assembly 200, under the action of the elastic member 500, moves toward the cylinder bottom plate 110 of the cylinder 100. The tensioning blocks 300 slide relatively within the inclined groove 211 and move radially within the notch 121 of the cylinder 100. The multiple tensioning blocks 300 move away from each other, and the reel tensioning device is in a locked state. This reel tensioning device is easy to operate when locking or loosening the reel, reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0043] Optionally, the sliding assembly 200 includes a slider 210 and a sealing end cap 220. The sealing end cap 220 is removably mounted on one end of the slider 210 and is in sealed sliding connection with the cylinder 100. The ramp groove 211 is provided on the slider 210. A first vent 221 is provided at the center of the sealing end cap 220. The center of the slider 210 is provided with a second vent. The first vent 221 and the second vent are arranged opposite each other, and the first vent 221 and the second vent form an airway. The sealing end cap 220 is removably mounted on the slider 210 for easy assembly and disassembly. For example, an elastic buckle can be provided on the sealing end cap 220, and a slot matching the elastic buckle can be provided on the slider 210. The sealing end cap 220 and the slider 210 are connected by the elastic buckle and the slot. In this embodiment, the sealing end cap 220 includes a cover body and a sealing member. The cover body and the slider 210 are removably connected. The sealing member is provided on the outer peripheral side of the cover body and is in sliding and sealing connection with the cylinder 100.

[0044] Preferably, the slider 210 is provided with a receiving groove 212 for the position-limiting elastic member 500. One end of the elastic member 500 is positioned within the receiving groove 212, while the other end is connected to the bottom cover 400. The receiving groove 212 serves as a guide and limiter, preventing the elastic member 500 from shifting and improving operational reliability. In this embodiment, the elastic member 500 is configured as a spring, which is sleeved around the outside of the pipe. The spring is easy to manufacture, reducing processing costs.

[0045] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom cover 400 includes a cylindrical base 410 and a round plug 420 protruding from the cylindrical base 410. The round plug 420 is sealed and installed at the barrel mouth. The bottom cover 400 is set as a stepped structure, which is convenient for sealing the barrel mouth and also easy to remove from the barrel mouth, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The cylinder body 100 includes a detachably connected cylinder side plate 120 and a cylinder bottom plate 110. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the cylinder side plate 120 and the cylinder bottom plate 110. For example, the cylinder side plate 120 and the cylinder bottom plate 110 are connected by screws. This arrangement is convenient to operate and the cylinder side plate 120 and the cylinder bottom plate 110 are reliably connected.

[0047] Optionally, the longitudinal cross-section of the tension block 300 is a right-angled trapezoid, with the ramp groove 211 extending through two opposing sides of the slider 210. The thickness of the slider 210 is less than the height of the right-angled trapezoid, ensuring sufficient contact and sliding distance for the tension block 300 within the ramp groove 211. In actual manufacturing, the thickness of the slider 210 can be adjusted as needed.

[0048] In this embodiment, four notches 121 are provided, and the four notches 121 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the cylinder 100. In other embodiments, the number of notches 121 can be set to other numbers, such as three or five, etc., as needed.

[0049] This embodiment further provides a packaging machine comprising the aforementioned roll tensioning device, a pneumatic component, and a mounting base. The pneumatic component and the roll tensioning device are both mounted on the mounting base, and the pneumatic component is in communication with a connector 600. In one possible implementation, the pneumatic component has both air supply and air extraction functions. After the pneumatic component supplies air into the airway, the roll tensioning device is relaxed, allowing the roll to be removed from the roll tensioning device. To tighten the roll, the roll is first placed on the roll tensioning device, and the pneumatic component extracts air from the airway and the sealing chamber, causing the multiple tensioning blocks 300 to move away from each other, thereby tightening the roll. Alternatively, the pneumatic element may only have an air supply function. The first end of the sliding assembly 200 is provided with a plurality of air guide holes 222, which correspond one-to-one with the plurality of ramp grooves 211. The diameter of the air guide holes 222 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the airway. When the air supply element is turned on, the air guide holes 222 can release some gas, but the gas remaining in the sealed cavity can still enable the sliding assembly 200 to overcome the supporting force of the elastic element 500. When the air supply element is closed, the remaining gas can escape through the notch 121. After escaping, the sliding assembly 200, under the action of the elastic element 500, moves toward the bottom plate 110 of the cylinder body 100, and the plurality of tensioning blocks 300 move away from each other. This packaging machine can automatically lock and release the roll, preventing the roll from falling due to vibration, effectively ensuring cigarette pack quality and equipment efficiency.

[0050] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
