Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tools for processing cigarettes, and in particular to a device for separating shredded cigarette tobacco. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of cigarette products, cigarette factories need to carry out various product testing links to ensure the quality level of cigarette products. Among them, after the production of finished cigarettes is completed, the tobacco in the finished cigarettes needs to be sampled and tested to detect the moisture content of the tobacco in the finished cigarettes. For sampling the tobacco from the finished cigarettes, it is usually shredded by a shredder. During the process, multiple finished cigarettes need to be placed on a flat plate, and then the flat plate is placed in the shredder. The shredder blades in the shredder cut the tobacco segments of the finished cigarettes one by one, so that the tobacco can be separated from the cigarette paper. However, due to the multiple shredding operations in this process, the efficiency is relatively low, and the tobacco is exposed to the air for a long time, which may cause the tobacco to lose moisture. In addition, a certain amount of cigarette paper debris is generated during the shredding process. If the selection is not thorough, the tobacco sample obtained will contain paper debris. When the testing equipment is used to test the moisture content of the tobacco, the accuracy of the tobacco moisture index test results will be affected. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a device for separating shredded tobacco from cigarettes, which can conveniently and quickly separate shredded tobacco from cigarettes without mixing cigarette paper into the shredded tobacco, thereby effectively solving the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a device for separating cigarette shredded tobacco, comprising:

[0005] A carrier for carrying cigarettes, capable of reciprocating along a first direction, and provided with a window on the carrier, the window extending in the first direction, and the cigarettes can be placed on the carrier at and parallel to the window;

[0006] a cutting assembly disposed on a path of reciprocating movement of the carrier in the first direction, wherein when the carrier moves from a first preset position to a second preset position in the positive direction of the first direction, at least a portion of the cutting assembly can intervene in the window to axially cut the cigarette;

[0007] The blocking member is reciprocatingly movable along the second direction. When the carrier moves to the second preset position, the blocking member moves from the third preset position to the fourth preset position along the positive direction of the second direction, so that the blocking member at least partially intervenes in the cut cigarette. When the carrier drives the cigarette to move along the negative direction of the first direction, the blocking member separates the tobacco in the cut cigarette from the cigarette paper.

[0038] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] like Figures 1-13As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a device for separating tobacco shreds from cigarettes, which is used for testing and sampling tobacco shreds in cigarette factories, especially for sampling tobacco shreds from finished cigarettes. During the production process of the cigarette factory, it is necessary to test the moisture content of tobacco shreds in the finished cigarettes. Before testing, tobacco shreds must be separated and taken out from the finished cigarettes. The previous method for sampling tobacco shreds is to use a shredder to shred the cigarettes. The operation process is roughly as follows: first, multiple cigarettes are placed on a flat-plate cigarette board, and then the cigarette board is placed in the shredder. The shredder blades in the shredder cut the tobacco segments of the cigarettes one by one. After the tobacco segments are cut into small segments, the tobacco shreds are separated from the cigarette paper, thereby realizing the separation and sampling of tobacco shreds. However, there are certain disadvantages in this process. For example, the multiple cutting of tobacco segments of cigarettes is time-consuming, inconvenient to operate, and inefficient. In addition, the tobacco is exposed to the air for a long time, which causes water loss in the tobacco, resulting in inaccurate detection results. On the other hand, the grater blade cuts the tobacco segments of cigarettes multiple times, which easily produces paper scraps. If the selection is not clean, the tobacco will be mixed with paper scraps. Since the moisture content of the paper scraps is inconsistent with that of the tobacco, it will also affect the accuracy of the detection results. The cigarette and tobacco separation device of the present application is intended to improve the convenience of separating tobacco from finished cigarettes and avoid mixing of cigarette paper scraps into the separated tobacco.

[0040] The device for separating shredded cigarette tobacco includes a carrier 100, a cutting assembly and a blocking member. The carrier 100 is used to carry cigarettes, which can be fixed on the carrier 100. The carrier 100 can move back and forth along a first direction. Preferably, a window 101 is provided on the carrier 100. The window 101 has a certain length, and the length of the window 101 is in the first direction. The cigarette can be placed on the carrier 100 and fixed. In this embodiment, the cigarette can be placed on the carrier 100 at the window 101, and the length of the cigarette and the length of the window 101 are parallel to each other. That is, the cigarette can be placed against the window 101 on the carrier 100 in a posture parallel to the window 101, and the width of the window 101 is smaller than the diameter of the cigarette, so that the cigarette will not pass through the window 101 on the carrier 100, but the outer peripheral surface of the cigarette and the edges on both sides of the width of the window 101 on the carrier 100 will conflict with each other. A more detailed matching method between the cigarette and the window 101 on the carrier 100 will be further described below.

[0041] The cutting assembly is arranged on the path of the carrier 100 moving back and forth in the first direction. When the carrier 100 moves back and forth along the first direction, it will interfere with the cutting assembly. When the carrier 100 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position along the positive direction of the first direction, at least a part of the cutting assembly can intervene in the window 101 to axially cut the cigarette at the window 101. In this embodiment, after the cigarette is placed on the carrier 100 and fixed, the carrier 100 moves in the positive direction of the first direction of the cigarette. When the carrier 100 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position, at least a part of the cutting assembly can intervene in the window 101 and axially cut the moving cigarette. Axial cutting of the cigarette will not cause serious damage to the cigarette paper of the cigarette, and will not produce paper scraps. Only the cigarette paper of the cigarette will produce axial cuts on the outer periphery of the cigarette, thereby avoiding the generation of paper scraps and preventing paper scraps from being mixed into the tobacco.

[0042] The blocking member can move back and forth along the second direction, which is not parallel to the first direction. When the carrier 100 moves the cigarette to the second preset position with the cigarette, the cutting assembly completes the axial cutting of the cigarette, and the blocking member can move from the third preset position to the fourth preset position along the positive direction of the second direction. After the blocking member moves to the fourth preset position, at least a part of the blocking member can intervene in the cut cigarette. Preferably, after the axial cutting of the cigarette is completed, the axial cutting of the tobacco segment of the cigarette is completed, and the end of the tobacco segment of the cigarette is the starting end of the cutting. During the movement of the carrier 100 with the cigarette, the cutting assembly starts axially cutting the tobacco segment from the end of the tobacco segment. The blocking member is inserted into the tobacco segment of the cigarette through the cutting opening of the cigarette paper, that is, at least a part of the blocking member is inserted into the exposed tobacco. Then, the carrier 100 moves along the negative direction of the first direction with the cigarette. During the return process of the cigarette, the blocking member is inserted into the tobacco and does not move, which has a certain blocking effect on the tobacco, thereby loosening the tobacco in the cut tobacco segment of the cigarette and separating it from the cigarette paper, thereby completing the separation of the tobacco from the cigarette paper.

[0043] In this way, through the movement of the carrier 100 and the movement of the blocking member, axial cutting of the tobacco segment of the cigarette can be achieved, avoiding the generation of paper scraps, and the separation of tobacco is also more convenient. The carrier 100 achieves the cutting of the cigarette and the separation of tobacco by reciprocating movement, greatly improving the efficiency of tobacco sampling and avoiding the mixing of paper scraps into the tobacco.

[0044] After the cigarette is placed on the carrier 100, regarding the fit between the cigarette and the window 101, in some embodiments, the carrier 100 is a flat plate structure, the carrier 100 has a first side surface and a second side surface, the first side surface is parallel to the second side surface, the thickness of the carrier 100 is between the first side surface and the second side surface, and the window 101 is a slotted structure that passes through the first side surface and the second side surface of the carrier 100, that is, the window 101 passes through the first side surface to the second side surface of the carrier 100, and one end of the window 101 along the first direction is open, and the end is the end of the window 101 that is first close to the cutting assembly when the carrier 100 moves in the positive direction of the first direction, that is, the window 101 is along the length. One end of the length direction is in the middle of the carrier 100, which is a non-open structure. The window 101 extends along the other end of the length direction to the edge of the carrier 100 to form an open structure. When the cigarette is against the window 101, the end of the tobacco segment of the cigarette is placed and fixed corresponding to the open end of the window 101. In this way, when the carrier 100 moves with the cigarette, when the carrier 100 moves along the positive direction of the first direction with the cigarette, a part of the cutting component will start to intervene in the window 101 from the open end of the window 101, that is, a part of the cutting component starts to enter the window 101 from the open end of the window 101, and then the tobacco segment is axially cut from the end of the tobacco segment.

[0045] Preferably, there are multiple windows 101, so that multiple cigarettes can be placed and fixed. When the carrier 100 moves, tobacco sampling of multiple cigarettes can be completed at the same time. The width of the window 101 can be adapted according to the diameter of the cigarette. More preferably, the windows 101 are arranged in parallel and at intervals, and the windows 101 are evenly spaced. A boss 102 is provided between two adjacent windows 101 on the carrier 100. The boss 102 protrudes from the carrier 100, and the boss 102 is continuously provided and has a long strip shape. The direction of the boss 102 is parallel to that of the window 101. The boss 102 is located in the middle area between two adjacent windows 101, and the width of the gap between the two adjacent bosses 102 is greater than the width of the window 101. In this way, two openings of different sizes are formed on the side of the carrier 100 where the boss 102 is set. Slim cigarettes can be placed and fixed through the window 101, and thick cigarettes can be placed and fixed through the gap between the two adjacent bosses 102, thereby realizing tobacco sampling of cigarettes of different specifications, thereby improving the applicability of the equipment.

[0046] In some embodiments, a splint 200 is provided on the carrier 100, and an elastic member is provided between the splint 200 and the carrier 100, so that the splint 200 and the carrier 100 cooperate with each other to complete the clamping and fixing of the cigarette on the carrier 100. Preferably, the splint 200 is swingably provided on the carrier 100, and one side of the splint 200 and the carrier 100 can be hinged by a hinge, and a spring is provided between the splint 200 and the carrier 100, so that an elastic clamping structure is formed between the splint 200 and the carrier 100. In this embodiment, the splint 200 is hinged on the side of the carrier 100 corresponding to the non-open end of the window 101, and a flat area 103 is provided on this side of the carrier 100. Furthermore, when the cigarette is placed at the window 101, the end of the tobacco segment corresponds to the open end of the window 101, which is convenient The filter of the cigarette is clamped and fixed by the clamping plate 200, and the strength of the filter is relatively higher, which is conducive to improving the fixing effect of the cigarette and will not interfere with the cutting of the tobacco segment. In this embodiment, the plane area 103 is the area on the carrier 100 corresponding to the clamping plate 200. This area is a planar structure, and the boss 102 does not extend into the plane area 103. After the cigarette is placed on the carrier 100, the clamping plate 200 clamps and fixes the filter of the cigarette in the plane area 103. In this embodiment, when fixing a thick cigarette, after the thick cigarette is placed between two adjacent bosses 102, there may be a certain gap between the filter of the cigarette and the plane area 103. Cardboard or the like can be placed in this gap so that the clamping plate 200 can firmly clamp the filter to prevent the cigarette from tilting.

[0047] Preferably, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, more preferably, the first direction is the vertical direction and the second direction is the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the carrier 100 moves back and forth along the vertical direction, vertically downward is the positive direction of the first direction, and vertically upward is the negative direction of the first direction. In the horizontal second direction, the direction close to the cigarette is the positive direction of the second direction, and the direction away from the cigarette is the negative direction of the second direction.

[0048] In one embodiment, the cutting assembly includes a blade 301, which is used to axially cut the tobacco segment of the cigarette. Preferably, there are two blades 301. Along the second direction, corresponding to the position of the window 101, the two blades 301 are respectively located on both sides of the carrier 100. The two blades 301 respectively perform axial cutting on the opposite sides of the tobacco segment of the cigarette, so that an axial cutting opening is generated on each opposite side of the cigarette paper, which is more conducive to the separation of tobacco, improves the smoothness of tobacco separation, and makes the separation of tobacco in the tobacco segment more thorough. In this embodiment, when the carrier 100 moves back and forth along the first direction, one of the two blades 301 can pass through the window 101 on the carrier 100, and the two blades The other one of 301 is close to the window 101 on the carrier 100. That is, since the cigarette is placed on one side of the carrier 100, during the movement of the carrier 100, one of the two blades 301 corresponding to the same window 101 must be able to pass through the window 101 and contact one side of the cigarette, and the other blade 301 can directly contact the other side of the cigarette without passing through the window 101. The two blades 301 corresponding to the same window 101 are arranged relative to each other along the second direction, and along the first direction, when the first direction is the vertical direction, the two blades 301 corresponding to the same window 101 have the same height. When the number of windows 101 is multiple, the number of blades 301 is twice the number of windows 101.

[0049] More preferably, it also includes a cutter shaft 302, and the blade 301 is a disc-shaped blade 301. The blade 301 is coaxially installed on the cutter shaft 302. The cutter shaft 302 can drive the blade 301 to rotate, and the blade 301 rotates to cut the tobacco segment, and the cutting is smoother, so that the cigarette paper is more easily and smoothly cut, and the generation of paper scraps is prevented. In this embodiment, when the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and the first direction is the vertical direction and the second direction is the horizontal direction, the first direction and the second direction are in the first plane, the plane where the blade 301 is located is parallel to the first plane, and the axial direction of the cutter shaft 302 is perpendicular to the first plane.

[0050] In this embodiment, the blade shaft 302 can be driven by a drive motor. The drive motor and the blade shaft 302 can be connected through a synchronous belt or gear transmission, or the output end of the drive motor can be directly connected to the blade shaft 302 to drive the blade 301 to rotate.

[0051] Preferably, the blocking member includes a thorn 401, which is a slender member extending along the second direction, and one end of the thorn 401 can be inserted into the cut cigarette. In this embodiment, the thorn 401 is a slender member with a certain length, and the thorn 401 can be a long rod with equal diameter. Preferably, one end of the thorn 401 is a large head and the other end is a small head, and the diameter of the small head is 1-3 mm, so that the small head end of the thorn 401 can more easily and smoothly penetrate into the tobacco. The length direction of the thorn 401 is the second direction. When the carrier 100 moves to the second preset position and the cigarette is cut by the cutting assembly, the thorn 401 moves along the positive direction of the second direction, so that the small head end of the thorn 401 penetrates the tobacco segment, and the thorn 40 1 is inserted into the tobacco through the cutting hole on the cigarette paper. During the movement of the carrier 100, the tobacco segment of the cigarette is completely cut axially, and an axial cutting hole is generated on the opposite sides of the cigarette paper. After the cutting is completed, a small amount of tobacco at the end of the tobacco segment may loosen and fall off. In addition, the position where the small end of the thorn 401 penetrates the tobacco segment should be close to the filter. When the carrier 100 returns with the cigarette, the thorn 401 applies a blocking force to the top part of the tobacco end, which is more conducive to the tobacco being completely dispersed and separated from the cut cigarette paper. When there are multiple windows 101 on the carrier 100, the number of thorns 401 corresponds to the number of windows 101, and one window 101 corresponds to one thorn 401 and two blades 301.

[0052] In this embodiment, a movable frame 402 is further included. The movable frame 402 can move back and forth along the second direction. The large end of the thorn 401 is connected to the movable frame 402. The movement of the movable frame 402 drives the reciprocating movement of the thorn 401.

[0053] More preferably, it further includes a shell 500, the knife shaft 302 is mounted on the shell 500, the movable frame 402 is movably arranged on the shell 500, and a track is also provided on the shell 500, and the carrier 100 can reciprocate along the track. In this embodiment, the shell 500 includes a bottom wall, a side wall and a top wall, and the bottom wall, the side wall and the top wall enclose an internal cavity, the knife shaft 302 is rotatably mounted on the opposite side walls, and the track includes two slide grooves 501, and the two slide grooves 501 are provided on the opposite side walls inside the shell 500, and the two sides of the carrier 100 can be adapted to the two sides. The chute 501 is in the first direction, and the chute 501 moves back and forth. The direction of the chute 501 is the first direction, which makes the movement of the carrier 100 more stable and straight. The convex edges 104 can be set on both sides of the carrier 100. The convex edges 104 are adapted to the chute 501. The convex edges 104 can slide along the chute 501 to improve the stability of the cooperation between the various components. Along the second direction, two knife shafts 302 are set side by side, and each knife shaft 302 is evenly spaced and provided with multiple disc-shaped blades 301. There is a gap between the two rows of blades 301 for the carrier 100 to carry the cigarette back and forth. By, in the second direction, the two slide grooves 501 are located between the two blade shafts 302, and the two sides of the movable frame 402 can be slidably set on the two opposite side walls inside the shell 500, and slide rails 502 are set on the opposite sides inside the side walls. The two ends of the movable frame 402 can slide on the slide rails 502, and the reciprocating movement of the movable frame 402 can be achieved by a telescopic mechanism such as a cylinder. A socket can also be set on the top wall, and the carrier 100 can be adapted to between the two slide grooves 501 through the socket. In this embodiment, the carrier 100 can be between the two rows of blades 301. The gap passes through, and each side of each window 101 corresponds to a blade 301, and each window 101 also corresponds to a thorn 401. When the carrier 100 moves downward with the cigarette, the blade 301 axially cuts the tobacco segment of the cigarette on the carrier 100, and then the thorn 401 moves along the second direction, and one end of the thorn 401 pierces the tobacco through the cut cigarette paper, and then the carrier 100 is lifted upward. The carrier 100 drives the cigarette to move upward, and the tobacco falls loosely downward. A collection box can be set at the bottom of the shell 500 to collect the tobacco.

[0054] In some embodiments, a controller and a proximity switch may also be provided. The proximity switch is provided inside the housing 500. When the carrier 100 moves to the second preset position, the tobacco segment of the cigarette is completely cut. At this time, the proximity switch detects that the carrier 100 is approaching, and the proximity switch transmits a signal to the controller. The controller controls the cylinder, and the cylinder drives the movable frame 402 to move, so that the movable frame 402 drives the thorn 401 to move toward the cigarette, so that the small end of the thorn 401 penetrates into the tobacco of the tobacco segment, and then lifts the carrier 100 upward. After the carrier 100 moves to the first preset position, the tobacco in the tobacco segment is completely separated. At this time, the proximity switch cannot detect the carrier 100, and the proximity switch transmits a signal to the controller. The controller controls the cylinder to drive the movable frame 402 to return, and the movable frame 402 drives the thorn 401 away from the cigarette, thus completing a tobacco sampling.
