Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of filter rod storage equipment, in particular to a aligning device used in a filter rod storage warehouse. Background Art

[0002] In the tobacco industry, filter rod storage bins are multifunctional equipment that integrates storage, transportation, and solidification. During the operation of the storage bins, it was found that the end faces of the filter rods were uneven, and sometimes even rods were messed up or dropped. The reason for this phenomenon is that the conveyor chain plate vibrates during operation and the filter rod conveying channel is bent. If the end faces are not sorted out in time, the filter rods may become wrinkled or bent, reducing the quality of the rod material. As the conveying distance increases, the range of messy cigarettes continues to expand, which will affect subsequent production. During the filter rod conveying process, the end faces are aligned so that the filter rods are neatly stacked together, which can effectively reduce the material and energy loss in the conveying process. The material sorting devices currently used in the tobacco industry can only sort small flow materials and cannot meet the needs of aligning high-layer and large-volume materials.

[0003] The utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN211766615U discloses a silo filter rod sorting device for a filter rod cartoning machine, including a silo rack and a filter rod conveying mechanism, a blanking and sorting mechanism and a lateral slapping mechanism fixed thereon. The silo rack includes a mounting back plate, a bottom plate and two side plates. The filter rod conveying mechanism is arranged on the upper part of the mounting back plate and is connected to the silo feed port, and is used to convey the filter rods entering the feed port to the inside of the silo. The blanking and sorting mechanism is arranged in the middle of the mounting back plate, and is used to drop the filter rods evenly into the lower part of the silo. The lateral slapping mechanism is arranged at the lower part of the mounting back plate, and is located in the side plate avoidance hole, and can move axially along the avoidance hole, and is used to perform lateral slapping and sorting on the fallen filter rods to meet the filter rod cartoning requirements. The filter rod cartoning machine's hopper filter rod arrangement device enables filter rod conveying, smooth dropping, and rapid arrangement of the filter rods in the lower hopper into the desired arrangement for cartoning. These rods can then be directly cartoned and moved on to the next process, eliminating the need for manual secondary arrangement of the cartoned products. This saves time and effort, significantly improving filter rod cartoning efficiency. However, this device is not suitable for aligning filter rods of different lengths. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to adapt to the aligning operation of filter rods of different lengths and improve the transportation efficiency of the storage, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an aligning device for a filter rod storage, comprising a driving mechanism, a supporting mechanism and a pair of aligning panels;

[0005] One end of the driving mechanism is fixed to the supporting mechanism, and the other end of the driving mechanism is connected to the aligning panel. The driving mechanism is used to push the aligning panel to move back and forth along the width direction of the filter rod conveying channel.

[0006] The aligning panels are located on both sides of the filter rod conveying channel and are used to align the filter rods in the filter rod conveying channel under the push of the driving mechanism.

[0007] Based on the above, in order to make the aligned filter rods close to the center of the filter rod conveying channel, a pair of the alignment panels are symmetrically arranged with the center of the filter rod conveying channel as the symmetry axis.

[0008] Based on the above, in order to adapt to different filter rod length specifications, the support mechanism includes a pair of vertical beams connected to one side of the filter rod conveying channel, a fixed base is installed between the pair of vertical beams, and the driving mechanism is adjustably installed on the fixed base.

[0009] Based on the above, in order to facilitate installation, cross beams are provided on both sides of the filter rod conveying channel, and angle seats for detachably connecting the cross beams are provided at the ends of the vertical beams.

[0010] Based on the above, the driving mechanism includes a cylinder, a push plate and a pneumatic throttle valve. The cylinder is adjustably mounted on the fixed base, the pneumatic throttle valve is mounted on the cylinder, the push plate is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder, and the alignment panel is detachably mounted on the push plate.

[0011] Based on the above, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the installation height of the cylinder, connecting blocks are provided on both sides of the fixed base, and the fixed base can be adjustably installed between a pair of vertical beams through the connecting blocks.

[0012] Based on the above, in order to ensure that the aligned filter rods are neatly arranged on the filter rod conveying channel, a pair of the alignment panels are arranged parallel to the filter rod conveying channel.

[0013] Based on the above, the snapping panel includes a panel and a panel frame arranged at the edge of the panel, and the panel is detachably connected to the push plate.

[0014] The corner seats are fixed to the horizontal beams by elastic bolts, and the connecting blocks are fixed to the vertical beams by elastic bolts, both of which are convenient for adjusting positions.

[0015] The present invention has substantial features and progress compared to the prior art. Specifically, the present invention provides an alignment device for a filter rod storage warehouse. The filter rods move from the inlet to the outlet along the filter rod conveying channel of the storage warehouse in sequence, and one or more alignment devices are installed at any position of the channel. When the material moves into the range of the alignment panel, the left and right cylinders respectively drive the panels to move inward, and the panels push the filter rods to align along the end surfaces.

[0016] At the same time, the device uses elastic bolts in many places to connect, which not only reduces the need for drilling holes on parts, but also facilitates position adjustment. By adjusting the installation position of the cylinder, the distance between the left and right side panels can be controlled to accommodate filter rods of different lengths.

[0017] Specifically, the alignment panel is suspended from the cylinder piston, and its frame is constructed from lightweight material to reduce the load on the cylinder piston. The alignment panel is flush with the filter rod conveyor channel, and a pair of alignment panels are of equal size, making them easily interchangeable. The larger surface area of the alignment panel reduces contact pressure with individual filter rods, preventing damage.

[0018] Therefore, the device of the utility model has a simple structure and is easy to install. It can pat and sort out uneven filter rods, preventing the filter rods from being damaged, deformed, disordered, or falling due to uneven force between the filter rods, saving the cost of manual sorting and improving the conveying efficiency of the filter rods.

[0024] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described in detail below through specific implementation methods.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] This embodiment provides a device for aligning filter rods in a storage bin, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it includes a driving mechanism, a supporting mechanism and a pair of aligning panels. For the convenience of distinction, the pair of aligning panels can be divided into a first aligning panel 4 and a second aligning panel 5.

[0027] One end of the drive mechanism is fixed to the support mechanism. The other end of the drive mechanism is connected to the alignment panel, and the drive mechanism is used to push the alignment panel to move back and forth along the width of the filter rod conveying channel 10. The alignment panels are located on both sides of the filter rod conveying channel 10 and are used to align the filter rods in the filter rod conveying channel 10 under the push of the drive mechanism.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to make the aligned filter rods close to the center of the filter rod conveying channel, a pair of alignment panels are symmetrically arranged with the center of the filter rod conveying channel 10 as the symmetry axis.

[0029] In order to adapt to different filter rod length specifications, the support mechanism includes a pair of vertical beams 2 connected to one side of the filter rod conveying channel, a fixed base 11 is installed between the pair of vertical beams 2, and the driving mechanism is adjustably installed on the fixed base 11. A plurality of cylinder mounting holes 13 are provided on the fixed base 11.

[0030] To facilitate installation, a conveyor belt 6 is provided on the filter rod conveying channel 10. Crossbeams are provided on both sides of the filter rod conveying channel 10, and angle brackets 3 are provided at the ends of the vertical beams 2 for detachable connection to the crossbeams. The crossbeams can be divided into an upper crossbeam 1 and a lower crossbeam 7 according to their installation position.

[0031] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a cylinder 9, a push plate 8, and a pneumatic throttle valve. The cylinder 9 is adjustably mounted on the fixed base 11, the pneumatic throttle valve is mounted on the cylinder 9, and the push plate 8 is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 9. The alignment panel is detachably mounted on the push plate 8. To ensure that the aligned filter rods are neatly arranged in the filter rod conveying channel 10, a pair of alignment panels are arranged parallel to the filter rod conveying channel 10.

[0032] The angle seat 3 is fixed on the crossbeam by elastic bolts. The pneumatic throttle valve is used to control the air pressure of the air cylinder to prevent the air pressure from being too low or too high to damage the filter rod.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] This embodiment provides a filter rod storage aligning device. The main difference from Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, to facilitate adjustment of the cylinder's installation height, connecting blocks are provided on both sides of the fixed base 11. The fixed base 11 is adjustably mounted between a pair of vertical beams 2 via the connecting blocks. The connecting blocks are fixed to the vertical beams via elastic bolts.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] This embodiment provides a snapping device for a filter rod storage. The main difference from Example 1 is that in this embodiment: the snapping panel includes a panel and a panel frame 12 arranged on the edge of the panel, and the panel is detachably connected to the push plate 8.

[0037] Specifically, the panel can be made of transparent plexiglass, allowing staff to easily observe the rod arrangement. The panel frame is welded from four profiles, making it lightweight and non-deformable. The alignment panel is roughly the same size as the door panel. In areas where the filter rod conveyor is prone to rod disorder, the original door assembly can be removed and replaced with the alignment device.

[0038] Specifically, the alignment devices are located on both sides of the filter rod conveyor channel, and their frequency of operation is determined by the channel's operating speed. When a filter rod enters the range of the alignment panels, the cylinder rapidly retracts and retracts, driving the pair of alignment panels to retract and retract. Through the clamping and beating action of the alignment panels, the uneven filter rod ends are aligned. While the filter rods pause briefly at the moment of alignment, this does not affect the operation of the filter rod conveyor channel. The aligned filter rods continue to be conveyed forward until the next filter rod enters the alignment range, allowing the device to initiate the next action.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the utility model can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the utility model, they should all be included in the scope of the technical solution for which protection is requested in the utility model.
