DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention comprises a frame 1, within which a rolling assembly and a drive assembly are housed, the rolling assembly and the drive assembly being connected. The rolling assembly includes a rolling roller 11, which is connected to the drive assembly. A cigarette track 8 is located below the rolling roller 11, on which a cigarette cloth 6 is placed. The cigarette cloth 6 is connected to the cigarette track 8 at one end and to the frame 1 at the other end, with the rolling roller 11 positioned between the cigarette track 8 and the cigarette cloth 6. The drive assembly includes a motor 2, which is connected to the frame 1. The output end of the motor 2 is connected to a crank guide mechanism that drives the cigarette cloth 6 along the cigarette track 8. The crank guide mechanism replaces the existing crank-rocker mechanism for transmission. Compared to existing crank-rocker mechanisms, the crank guide mechanism occupies less space during rotation, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the rolling machine, facilitating a compact design of the rolling machine. This solves the technical problem of existing rolling machines occupying a large space, hindering their miniaturization.

[0023] The cigarette cloth 6 is laid on the cigarette track 8 and is fixedly connected to the cigarette track 8 at one end and to the frame 1 at the other end. The motor 2 drives the rolling roller 11 to rotate through the crank guide mechanism. When the rolling roller 11 rotates, it drives the cigarette cloth 6 to be rolled along the cigarette track 8, and the tobacco leaves placed on the cigarette cloth 6 are rolled into cigars.

[0024] Example 2, based on Example 1, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the crank-guide mechanism includes a guide rod 4 rotatably mounted on the frame 1 and provided with a strip-shaped hole 17. The output end of the motor 2 is connected to a crank 3, which is provided with a fixed block 18 that slidably engages with the strip-shaped hole 17. A preform-forming rocker arm 5 is connected to the top of the guide rod 4, and the rolling roller 11 is connected to the preform-forming rocker arm 5. The crank 3 has a central through-hole and an edge through-hole, respectively. The edge through-hole in the crank 3 is movably connected to the fixed block 18 via a bolt connection. The fixed block 18 slidably engages with the strip-shaped hole 17 in the guide rod 4. Rotation of the crank 3 causes the guide rod 4 to swing, while the fixed block 18 slides along the strip-shaped hole 17. The central through-hole in the crank 3 is fixedly connected to the motor 2. The motor 2 is a 0.68 kW four-pole motor that drives the crank 3 in rotation. During the transmission process, the crank guide rod mechanism of the present application only needs the guide rod 4 to rotate a certain angle to swing, and does not need a full rotation, which is beneficial to reducing the space occupied by the crank guide rod mechanism during the transmission process.

[0025] A torque limiter 20 can also be installed between the output end of motor 2 and crank 3. In this simple electric cigar end product rolling machine, the torque limiter is installed between motor 2 and crank 3 to monitor and control torque transmission. If the equipment is subjected to excessive torque load, the torque limiter automatically cuts off power transmission, thereby protecting personnel and equipment.

[0026] Under normal working conditions, when the motor 2 drives the winding mechanism to work normally, the torque limiter 20 allows the torque to be transmitted within the set range to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. When the equipment encounters abnormal resistance or is overloaded, the torque applied to the transmission components exceeds the set value of the torque limiter, and the elastic force of the spring is insufficient to maintain the original friction or resistance. At this time, the friction plates or balls inside the torque limiter 20 will slide or separate relative to each other, thereby cutting off the power transmission path. After the power is cut off, the motor 2 continues to idle, while the winding mechanism stops working, avoiding equipment damage or safety accidents caused by overload. On the one hand, the setting of the torque limiter 20 can automatically cut off power transmission when the equipment is overloaded, effectively protecting the equipment from damage and preventing safety accidents caused by equipment failure or improper operation; on the other hand, the operator can adjust the torque protection value according to actual needs to adapt to different production needs, and under normal working conditions, the torque limiter 20 can stably transmit torque to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0027] Example 3, based on Example 2, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rocker arm support frame 13 is provided between two opposing side walls of the frame 1. A hinge shaft 15 is rotatably connected between the two rocker arm support frames 13, and the embryo-making rocker arm 5 is connected to the hinge shaft 15. The provision of the rocker arm support frame 13 facilitates further hinged connection between the embryo-making rocker arm 5 and the frame 1, while ensuring the connection strength between the embryo-making rocker arm 5 and the frame 1.

[0028] Example 4, based on Example 3, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two cigar-making rocker arms 5 are positioned opposite each other on the hinge shaft 15, with either cigar-making rocker arm 5 connected to a guide rod 4. The two opposing cigar-making rocker arms 5 ensure the strength of the entire rolling machine during the cigar-making process, ensuring stable rolling operations. Connecting either cigar-making rocker arm 5 to a guide rod 4 facilitates the simplification of mechanical components, ensuring stable rolling operations while reducing the number of mechanical components and facilitating a compact design of the rolling machine.

[0029] Example 5, based on Example 4, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rolling roller 11 is height-adjustably mounted on the preform-making rocker arm 5. The roller's ends are bolted to the two opposing preform-making rocker arms 5, allowing it to rotate about its central axis. The preform-making rocker arms 5 are provided with an elliptical stopper hole 12, allowing cigar preforms of varying diameters to be rolled by adjusting the roller's position within the stopper hole.

[0030] Example 6, based on any one of Examples 1 to 5, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the center of the cigarette track 8 is arc-shaped. Its two ends, fixed to the frame 1, respectively form a filling groove 9 and a discharge groove 10. Anti-slip grooves 16 are provided on the arc-shaped portion of the cigarette track 8. The filling groove 9 is used to hold tobacco leaves for cigar rolling, while the discharge groove 10 is used to hold the finished cigar preforms. Negative pressure holes are provided in the arc-shaped portion of the cigarette track 8. These holes are arranged irregularly to absorb the cigarette binder. The anti-slip grooves 16 prevent the cigarette cloth 6 from sliding.

[0031] Example 7, based on Example 6, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the frame 1 is provided with a first photoelectric detection switch 14 and a second photoelectric detection switch 19. The first photoelectric detection switch 14 is located on the side of the filling groove 9, and the second photoelectric detection switch 19 is located on the side of the discharge groove 10. The first photoelectric detection switch 14 is used to detect whether there are tobacco leaves in the filling groove 9, and the second photoelectric detection switch 19 is used to detect whether foreign objects have fallen into the discharge groove 10.

[0032] Example 8, based on Example 7, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the motor 2, first photoelectric detection switch 14, and second photoelectric detection switch 19 are all connected to a controller. Both first and second photoelectric detection switches 14, 19 function to disconnect the start signal for motor 1. The first photoelectric detection switch 14 is located on frame 1 at the filling groove 9. When the first photoelectric detection switch 14 detects that the rocker arm 5 has returned to the filling groove 9, the detection value of the first photoelectric detection switch 14 is reset to 0, the connected coil is de-energized, and motor 2 stops operating. This prevents the rocker arm 5 from being moved or displaced from its rest position due to inertia or human error, which could lead to quality and safety issues. When a worker adds the required cigar tobacco leaves to the rolling cloth 6 at the filling groove 9, the controller activates the first photoelectric detection switch 14, which resets the detection value to 1, and motor 2 starts operating. The first photoelectric detection switch 14 is configured to control the on / off switching of motor 2 to enable the rolling machine to roll cigar tobacco blanks. The second photoelectric detection switch 19 prevents foreign objects from falling into the discharge groove 10, causing them to be drawn further into the equipment or pose other potential safety risks.

[0033] When there is no foreign matter blocking the light between the transmitter and receiver of the second photoelectric detection switch 19, the second photoelectric detection switch 19 is in a normal state and the detection value is 1, indicating that the discharge groove 10 area is safe. When a foreign matter other than a cigar tobacco embryo blocks the light, the second photoelectric detection switch 19 will immediately detect this change and set its detection value to 0, indicating that an abnormal situation has occurred. When the second photoelectric detection switch 19 detects a foreign object and the detection value is 0, a signal will be triggered, causing the contact coil to lose power. After the contact coil loses power, it can no longer provide the required electrical energy to the motor 2, thereby preventing the motor 2 from continuing to work. This design ensures that when there is a safety hazard in the discharge groove 10 area, the cigarette making machine will automatically stop running, thereby protecting the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0034] The first photoelectric detection switch 14 and the second photoelectric detection switch 19 are both infrared photoelectric detectors. Their operating principle is primarily based on the photoelectric effect. When light strikes an object, the object absorbs or reflects the light. This light is then captured by the photoelectric elements in the photoelectric detector and converted into electrical signals. These electrical signals are amplified, filtered, and processed before being used to identify tobacco embryos or foreign objects. Tobacco embryos and foreign objects differ in their optical properties, enabling identification based on these differences. These optical differences include color and reflectance spectrum characteristics. Color differences refer to the color differences between tobacco and foreign objects. By capturing and analyzing these color differences, the photoelectric detector can initially distinguish between tobacco embryos and foreign objects. However, since the colors of tobacco and some foreign objects may overlap, color recognition alone may not be accurate.

[0035] Reflectance spectral characteristics refer to the differences in the reflectance spectral curves of tobacco and foreign matter, as revealed by using a reflectance spectrometer to illuminate them. The tobacco's reflectance peak is similar to that of yellow light, while the foreign matter's reflectance spectral characteristics do not exhibit this characteristic. This difference provides a basis for more accurate identification using photoelectric detectors.

[0036] The similarity between the tobacco's reflectance peak and the yellow light band's peak is not absolute; it may vary depending on factors such as the tobacco leaf variety, growing conditions, and maturity. The yellow light band (roughly 570-590 nanometers) may also have other possible peaks. In specific cases, spectral analysis technology is needed to measure the cigar tobacco's reflectance spectrum and combine it with other relevant information for analysis, judgment, and adjustment. Then, appropriate thresholds are set based on the differences in the spectral characteristics of the tobacco leaf and the foreign object. When the detected spectral signal exceeds or falls below these thresholds, it is determined to be a foreign object.

[0037] Example 9, based on Example 8, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first photoelectric detection switch 14 and the second photoelectric detection switch 19 are both integrated detection switches with a transmitter and a receiver. This integrated detection switch design means that both the first photoelectric detection switch 14 and the second photoelectric detection switch 19 include a transmitter and a receiver. This integrated detection switch is more compact and takes up less space.

[0038] When Example 9 is implemented, a worker adds the required cigar tobacco leaves to the cigarette cloth 6 at the filling groove 9, and activates the first photoelectric detection switch 14 and the second photoelectric detection switch 19 through the controller. The detection value of the first photoelectric detection switch 14 is set to 1, and the motor 2 starts to work. The rotation of the motor 2 drives the crank 3 to rotate, and the crank 3 drives the guide rod 4 to move, thereby driving the embryo-making rocker arm 5 to move from the filling groove 9 to the discharge groove 10. When it reaches the discharge groove 10, the rolled cigar embryo falls into the discharge groove 10, and the embryo-making rocker arm 5 will move in the opposite direction, from the discharge groove 10 to the filling groove 9, until it touches the first photoelectric detection switch 14. The detection value of the first photoelectric detection switch 14 is set to 0, the power is disconnected, the motor 2 stops working, and the embryo-making rocker arm 5 stays at the filling groove 9.

[0039] When a foreign object other than a cigar tobacco blank blocks the light of the second photoelectric detection switch 19, the second photoelectric detection switch 19 will immediately detect this change and set its detection value to 0, indicating that an abnormal situation has occurred.

[0040] When the second photoelectric detection switch 19 detects a foreign object and the detection value reaches 0, a signal is triggered, causing the controller to de-energize the contact coil. This de-energizes the contact coil, which can no longer provide the required power to motor 2, thus preventing it from continuing to operate. This prevents the foreign object from being drawn further into the equipment or posing other potential safety risks.

[0041] Example 10, based on Example 1 or 9, a simple electric cigar inner embryo rolling machine, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the preform-making rocker arm 5 is provided with a push-pull rod 7. In the event of a power outage, a worker can use their arms to push the push-pull rod 7 on the preform-making rocker arm 5, causing the preform-making rocker arm 5 to rotate from the filling groove 9 to the discharge groove 10, thereby completing the rolling of the cigar preform. The provision of the push-pull rod 7 makes the rolling machine adaptable to power outages.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
