Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette equipment, in particular to a cigarette cutting device. Background Art

[0002] During the cigarette manufacturing process, it's inevitable that cigarettes that don't meet product quality and technical requirements will be produced, sometimes resulting in large quantities of residual tobacco. To reduce production costs, recycling these cigarettes is necessary. Currently, most tobacco factories still use manual recycling, a method that is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, as well as inefficient. Some factories use automated equipment to cut cigarette paper, but this process can damage the tobacco, rendering it unusable. Utility Model Content

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, a waist-shaped hole is provided on the base, and the axle of each cutting wheel or transmission wheel passes through the waist-shaped hole and is connected to the motor below.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, an adjustment plate is connected to the left side of the shredder, an adjustment rod is connected below the adjustment plate, a through hole is provided on the base, and the adjustment rod passes through the through hole.

[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, baffles are provided on both sides of the cutting channel, and a notch is provided in the middle of the baffle to match the edges of the shredder, the cutting wheel and the transmission wheel.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the above solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0013] The cigarette cutting device provided by this application uses a cutting wheel to secure the cigarette while a shredder cuts the cigarette paper, ensuring that only the cigarette paper is cut without damaging the tobacco inside, maintaining tobacco quality and reducing tobacco fragmentation. This application not only improves cigarette cutting efficiency, but also ensures tobacco quality and increases the recycling rate of residual tobacco. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

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

[0020] See Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a cigarette cutting device comprising a base 1 with a cutting channel 5 disposed thereon. The cutting channel 5 is narrow enough to accommodate only one cigarette, ensuring stable and consistent cutting. Cutting wheels 3 and drive wheels 4 are positioned in pairs on either side of the cutting channel 5 (along the direction of cigarette movement). A motor 6 is located below the base 1 and is in transmission connection with the cutting and drive wheels 3 and 4. The surfaces of the cutting and drive wheels 3 and 4 are recessed (around their circumference) to form arcuate clamping grooves 10 that align with the cigarettes. As cigarettes pass through the cutting and drive wheels 3 and 4, they are clamped and conveyed forward by the arcuate clamping grooves 10. Inside the cutting wheel 3, a long, strip-shaped shredder 2 is positioned parallel to the cutting channel 5. The distance between the shredder 2 and the arcuate clamping groove 10 is minimal, ensuring that the cigarette remains clamped and conveyed forward while the shredder 2 slices the cigarette paper. The distance between the two cutting knives 2 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the cigarette, thereby ensuring that only the cigarette paper is cut without damaging the internal tobacco, maintaining the quality of the tobacco and reducing the breakage of the tobacco.

[0021] A waist-shaped hole 8 is provided on the base 1, and the axle of each cutting wheel 3 or transmission wheel 4 passes through the waist-shaped hole 8 and is connected to the motor 6 below. The axle of the cutting wheel 3 or the transmission wheel 4 can move in the waist-shaped hole 8 to adjust the distance between the two cutting wheels 3 or the distance between the two transmission wheels 4, ensuring the matching accuracy of the cutting wheel 3 and the transmission wheel 4. In addition, it can also adapt to residual smoke of different specifications and sizes, thereby having a good cutting effect.

[0022] An adjustment plate is connected to the left side of the cutter 2, and an adjustment rod is connected below the adjustment plate. The base 1 has a through hole 9 through which the adjustment rod passes. The adjustment rod can move up and down within the through hole 9 to precisely adjust the height of the cutter 2 to the middle height of the arc-shaped clamping groove 10. Furthermore, the distance between the two cutters 2 can also be adjusted to accommodate residual cigarettes of different sizes.

[0023] Baffles 7 are provided on both sides of the cutting channel 5. A notch is provided in the middle of the baffle 7 to match the edges of the shredder 2, the cutting wheel 3 and the transmission wheel 4 to ensure the smoothness of the cutting process.

[0024] The working process of the cigarette cutting device of this embodiment:

[0025] Residual cigarettes are separated one by one along the cutting path 5 in the order of transport (from left to right). As the residual cigarettes pass through the cutting wheel 3, they fit tightly against the arcuate clamping grooves 10 on the side of the cutting wheel 3, clamping the cigarettes and conveying them forward. Simultaneously, the cutter 2 cuts the cigarette paper along its length before conveying it to the transmission wheel 4, where they fit tightly against the arcuate clamping grooves 10 on the side of the transmission wheel 4, clamping the cigarettes and conveying them forward.

[0026] Although the above describes the specific implementation methods of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it does not limit the scope of protection of the utility model. On the basis of the technical solution of the utility model, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the utility model.
