[0025] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present invention, its application, or uses.

[0026] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0027] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a paper scrap removal device, which includes a collection box 11 and multiple pneumatic conveyors 21. The collection box 11 is arranged directly above the conveyor belt 51, and multiple partitions 14 are provided in the upper inner cavity of the collection box 11. Each of the partitions 14 divides the upper inner cavity of the collection box into multiple conveying cavities 17. The lower end of each conveying cavity 17 is respectively connected with the lower inner cavity 15 of the collection box, and a discharge port 16 connected with the lower inner cavity is provided on the front side panel of the collection box 11; each of the pneumatic conveyors 21 is located on the left side of the collection box, and the air outlet of each of the pneumatic conveyors is respectively connected with the conveying cavity 17 through the conveying pipe 31, and the air inlet of each of the pneumatic conveyors 21 is respectively connected to the compressed air source, and the suction port 22 of each of the pneumatic conveyors is respectively facing the conveyor belt 51.

[0029] The paper scrap removal device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when in use, utilizes the adsorption port 22 of each pneumatic conveyor to suck paper scraps at different positions in the recycled tobacco shreds transported on the conveyor belt 51, and then the paper scraps are blown into each conveying cavity 17 through each conveying pipe 31, and then the paper scraps enter the lower inner cavity 15 of the collection box through the lower end of each conveying cavity, thereby better achieving the removal of paper scraps 61 in the recycled tobacco shreds and effectively improving the quality of the recycled tobacco shreds. At the same time, since there are partitions between each conveying cavity, it is possible to better avoid the mutual influence of airflows, better ensure that paper scraps can enter the lower inner cavity of the collection box more smoothly, and realize the collection of paper scraps. In addition, the paper scraps in the collection box can be collected through the discharge port 16 and then processed centrally.

[0030] Furthermore, a discharging cover 12 extending forward is provided at the discharging port 16, and a waste box is provided at the front end of the discharging cover 12. This solution facilitates the collection of paper scraps into the waste box for centralized processing.

[0031] In one embodiment, the bottom plate 13 of the collection box extends forward to the front of the conveyor belt, and the lower end of the discharge port extends to the bottom plate. The lower end of the discharge cover 12 is connected to the bottom plate, and the rear end of the discharge cover is connected to the front side plate. This solution facilitates the collection of paper scraps using the waste bin.

[0032] Specifically, the bottom plate 13 is tilted downward so that the paper scraps and the sucked-in waste tobacco in the collection box 11 can slide quickly along the tilted bottom plate 13 into the waste box under the action of their own gravity and compressed air flow, thereby realizing rapid collection of the paper scraps.

[0033] Preferably, the discharge cover 12 is an inverted U-shaped structure.

[0034] Specifically, the pneumatic conveyors 21 are arranged in two rows, with the pneumatic conveyors 21 in different rows staggered, thereby enabling each pneumatic conveyor to better remove paper scraps from different locations within the recovered tobacco shreds on the conveyor belt. It is understood that, in this case, it is preferable that the pneumatic conveyors 21 in the same row be evenly distributed across the width of the conveyor belt; that each conveying tube is in one-to-one communication with each conveying cavity; and that the suction port of each pneumatic conveyor is positioned close to the conveyor belt to facilitate suction of paper scraps. Pneumatic conveyors are commonly used components in the prior art, and their structure and operating principle are not further described here.

[0035] Furthermore, the air inlet of each pneumatic conveyor 21 is connected to one end of its own air supply pipe through its own quick connector 41, and the other end of each air supply pipe is used to connect to a compressed air source. Each air supply pipe is provided with a solenoid valve for controlling the flow of compressed air in the air supply pipe; an industrial camera is provided directly above the conveyor belt 51, and each solenoid valve and industrial camera is electrically connected to the controller. With this solution, when in use, the industrial camera is used to take real-time photos of the recycled tobacco conveyed on the conveyor belt 51, and then the image obtained by taking the photo is transmitted to the controller. The controller processes and analyzes the image to determine whether there are paper scraps in the recycled tobacco. If there are paper scraps, the coordinate position of the paper scraps on the conveyor belt is calculated, and this is used to determine which pneumatic conveyor should adsorb the paper scraps. Then, based on the running speed of the conveyor belt 51 and the horizontal distance L between the paper scraps 61 and the adsorption port 22 of the pneumatic conveyor, the time T1 for the paper scraps to reach the adsorption port is calculated, and the controller is controlled. The device tracks the position of the paper scraps in real time. When time T1 is reached, the controller controls the solenoid valve corresponding to the pneumatic conveyor 21 to operate, opening the corresponding air supply pipe, allowing compressed air to enter the pneumatic conveyor through the air inlet and flow into the conveying pipe from the air outlet of the pneumatic conveyor. At this time, negative pressure suction is generated at the suction port of the pneumatic conveyor, causing the paper scraps to be sucked into the conveying pipe 31, and then the paper scraps are blown into the collection box 11 along with the compressed air. After reaching the set time T2, the controller controls the solenoid valve to close the corresponding air supply pipe, completing the paper scrap removal process. It can be understood that quick connectors are commonly used components in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] The paper scrap removing device of the utility model adopts a negative pressure adsorption method to more accurately suck the paper scraps in the identified recycled tobacco into the collecting box, thereby better achieving the removal of the paper scraps in the recycled tobacco.

[0037] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail through examples, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
