Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tobacco manufacturing, in particular to a tobacco leaf dropping tube for a shredder. Background Art
[0002] In the tobacco processing industry, the shredder is an essential piece of equipment on the tobacco production line. Its primary function is to cut tobacco leaves into uniform strands for subsequent rolling and other processes. The smooth flow of the tobacco drop tube during operation directly impacts the shredding effect and the efficiency of the entire production line. However, due to the physical properties of tobacco leaves, such as moisture and fiber structure, as well as friction during transportation, the drop tube is prone to clogging.
[0003] Traditional unclogging methods rely primarily on manual labor, such as using wooden sticks or specialized tools to knock or vibrate the clogged tobacco leaves. This method is not only inefficient but also prone to damage to the drop tube and even poses safety concerns. Furthermore, since the shredder typically operates continuously, stopping the machine for unclogging can severely impact production schedules and efficiency.
[0004] In recent years, with the continuous development of automation technology, advanced unclogging devices have begun to be introduced into wire cutters. Most of these devices use pneumatic conveying or mechanical unclogging methods, capable of unclogging the blanking tube without stopping the machine. However, due to the complex and changing working environment of wire cutters, existing unclogging devices still have certain limitations in adaptability and effectiveness, and cannot fully meet production needs.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel tobacco leaf drop pipe dredging device for a cutting machine to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] See Figure 1-3 As shown, a tobacco leaf blanking pipe for a shredder comprises a blanking pipe 1, a box body 2 is provided on the left side wall of the blanking pipe 1, a through hole 3 is opened through the left side wall of the box body 2, a sealing plate 4 is movably inserted in the through hole 3, a fixing plate 5 is provided on the left side wall of the sealing plate 4, a front cover plate 6 is provided on the front end wall of the box body 2, a rear cover plate 7 is provided on the rear end wall of the box body 2, the inner side wall between the front cover plate 6 and the rear cover plate 7 is rotatably connected to a round rod 9 through a bearing 8, a cylinder 10 is interference fit connected to the outer wall of the round rod 9, a plurality of combing plates 11 are provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 10, a motor 12 is detachably provided on the front side wall of the front cover plate 6, and the output end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the front side end of the round rod 9 through a coupling.
[0023] In this application, the upper and lower end walls of the box body 2 are designed with inclined slopes, and the upper end wall of the box body 2 is composed of a plane and an inclined surface. The material enters from the top of the blanking pipe 1, passes through the upper end of the box body 2 and falls onto the comb plate 11 on the right outer wall of the cylinder 10. The impact force of the falling material and the contact with the comb plate 11 loosens the block material and slides out through the lower end wall of the box body 2 to avoid accumulation of material.
[0024] In the present application, the sealing plate 4 and the fixing plate 5 are made of transparent material, and the situation inside the blanking pipe 1 can be easily observed through the sealing plate 4. After the sealing plate 4 and the fixing plate 5 are removed, the cylinder 10 can be easily inspected and repaired.
[0025] In this application, the outer ring of the bearing 8 is fixedly connected to the outer walls of the front cover plate 6 and the rear cover plate 7 through the bearing seat, and the inner ring of the bearing 8 is connected to the outer wall of the round rod 9 by interference fit, and the bearing 8 fixes the round rod 9, making it convenient for the round rod 9 to rotate through the bearing 8.
[0026] In the present application, a plurality of comb plates 11 are arranged on the outer wall of the cylinder 10 with a circumferential gap. The material enters from the top of the blanking pipe 1 and falls onto the comb plate 11 on the right outer wall of the cylinder 10. The impact force of the falling material and the contact with the comb plate 11 loosens the block material. The motor 12 causes the round rod 9 to drive the cylinder 10 and the comb plate 11 to rotate. The rotation of the comb plate 11 conveys the material downward to prevent the material from accumulating inside the blanking pipe 1.
[0027] According to the personnel in this field, all electrical components and parts in this case are universal standard parts or parts known to technical personnel in this field.

The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the following working principle. The electrical connection is completed in the order of working between the electrical components. The detailed connection means are well known in this field and will not be explained in detail for electrical control.
[0028] A specific application of this embodiment is:
[0029] When in use, the box body 2 is installed on the side wall of the blanking pipe 1, and the inner cavities of the blanking pipe 1 and the box body 2 are connected. The sealing plate 4 is installed in the through hole 3 by tightening it on the side wall of the blanking pipe 1 with bolts through the fixing plate 5. The sealing plate 4 is used to facilitate observation of the internal situation of the blanking pipe 1. After the sealing plate 4 and the fixing plate 5 are disassembled, the cylinder 10 can be easily inspected and repaired.
[0030] The material enters from the top of the blanking pipe 1 and falls onto the combing plate 11 on the right outer wall of the cylinder 10. The impact force of the falling material and the contact with the combing plate 11 loosens the block material. The motor 12 drives the round rod 9 to drive the cylinder 10 and the combing plate 11 to rotate. The rotation of the combing plate 11 conveys the material downward, preventing the material from accumulating inside the blanking pipe 1, thereby completing the loosening and conveying operation of the material.
[0031] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by ordinary technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
