[0032] The existing finished tobacco turnover boxes have the following problems during use: 1. There are dead corners in the box cover design, and the turnover box is poorly ventilated during use, which easily causes tobacco to accumulate at the edge of the box cover; 2. Tobacco accumulates on the box cover, causing material waste; 3. The number of tobacco turnover boxes is huge, making it difficult to clean them one by one, and there is a lack of regular cleaning and maintenance.

[0033] Specifically, see Figure 1-Figure 3 The turnover box includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2. A protrusion is provided at the center of the inner side of the box cover 2, and clips 3 are provided on both sides of the box cover 2.

[0034] In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment provides a tobacco dumping device for pouring tobacco from the turnover box. Figure 1, including a turning mechanism and a blowing mechanism. The turning mechanism can clamp the box body 1 and the box cover 2 respectively, and turn the box body 1 and the box cover 2 to pour out the tobacco in the box body 1 and the tobacco accumulated on the box cover 2; the blowing mechanism includes a plurality of first nozzles 21 and a plurality of second nozzles 22. The first nozzles 21 are arranged on the sides of the box cover 2 and blow towards the protrusion in the center of the box cover 2. The second nozzles 22 are arranged on the sides of the clip 3 and blow towards the fold of the clip 3. The tobacco on the box body 1 and the box cover 2 is poured out by the turning mechanism. After pouring, the tobacco on the box cover 2 is blown out using the plurality of first nozzles 21 and the plurality of second nozzles 22, so as to avoid tobacco accumulation on the box cover 2 and tobacco waste. There is no need to add an additional cleaning process to the turnover box, thereby improving the cleanliness of the turnover box.

[0035] Specifically, the box cover 2 is provided with side walls around it, and the first nozzle 21 and the second nozzle 22 are provided on the side walls. In this embodiment, four first nozzles 21 are provided, and the spraying directions are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, there are two second nozzles 22, and the spraying direction is as follows: Figure 2 It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the number of the first nozzle 21 and the second nozzle 22 and the blowing direction can be set according to specific circumstances and needs, and are not limited here.

[0036] Furthermore, the cleaning and blowing mechanism also includes a compression assembly and an air pipe. The compression assembly is provided on the box cover 2 for compressing gas, and the compression assembly is connected to the first nozzle 21 and the second nozzle 22 via the air pipe. Specifically, the compression assembly is configured as an air compressor, and the first nozzle 21 and the second nozzle 22 are connected in series via the air pipe. Furthermore, the cleaning and blowing mechanism also includes a solenoid valve, which is provided between the air pipe and the first nozzle 21 and between the air pipe and the second nozzle 22. In other embodiments, in order to save costs, only one solenoid valve can be provided, which is provided at the end of the main air pipe to synchronously control the opening and closing of all the first nozzles 21 and the second nozzles 22.

[0037] Furthermore, the cleaning and blowing mechanism further comprises a control component, which is used to control the electromagnetic valve to be opened or closed. Specifically, the control component is configured as a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), which is communicatively connected to the electromagnetic valve.

[0038] Furthermore, the flip mechanism includes a first support rod 11 and a first clamping jaw 12. The first clamping jaw 12 can slide in a vertical direction relative to the first support rod 11, and the first clamping jaw 12 is used to clamp the box body 1. It should be noted that using clamping jaws to clamp objects is a very common technical means and will not be repeated here.

[0039] Furthermore, the flip mechanism also includes a slider 13 and a second clamping jaw 14. The first clamping jaw 12 and the second clamping jaw 14 are both provided on the slider 13. The slider 13 is slidably mounted on the first support rod 11 in the vertical direction. The second clamping jaw 14 is located above the first clamping jaw 12 and is used to clamp the box cover 2. Specifically, a slide rail is provided on the first support rod 11, and an electromagnetic drive member is provided on the slider 13 to drive the slider 13 to slide on the first support rod 11.

[0040] Furthermore, the second clamping jaw 14 is hingedly connected to the slider 13. The second clamping jaw 14 can rotate 90° horizontally around the hinged end to drive the cover 2 away from the box body 1. Specifically, the slider 13 is provided with a first driving member that can drive the second clamping jaw 14 to rotate. In this embodiment, the first driving member is a cylinder, which is installed on the slider 13. The free end of the cylinder's pull rod 15 is hingedly connected to the second clamping jaw 14. The pull rod 15 is extended and retracted to drive the second clamping jaw 14 to rotate. In other embodiments, the first driving member can also be configured as an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0041] Furthermore, a bearing plate is provided on the slider 13 , and the bearing plate is provided below the first clamping jaw 12 for supporting the box body 1 to prevent the first clamping jaw 12 from being broken by force.

[0042] Furthermore, the flip mechanism also includes a second support rod 16. The top end of the first support rod 11 is hinged to the second support rod 16. The first support rod 11 can flip 180 degrees horizontally around the hinge end to drive the box 1 to flip. Because the first support rod 11 will flip 180 degrees to dump the tobacco, before the first support rod 11 flips, the box 1 needs to be raised to the top of the first support rod 11, that is, the position closest to the hinge end, to reduce the force on the first support rod 11 and prevent it from breaking.

[0043] Specifically, the flipping driving method of the first support rod 11 is the same as the flipping driving method of the second clamping jaw 14 , and the examples are not repeated here.

[0044] When the tobacco dumping device provided in this embodiment is in use, the first clamping jaw 12 is used to clamp the box body 1, and the second clamping jaw 14 is used to clamp the box cover 2, driving the turnover box to rise to the highest point of the first support rod 11, and flipping the first support rod 11 to 180°. After the flipping is completed, the second clamping jaw 14 is driven to drive the box cover 2 to rotate to open the turnover box and dump the tobacco. After the dumping is completed, the first nozzle 21 and the second nozzle 22 are opened to blow the tobacco on the box cover 2. The blowing time is maintained for 4s. After the blowing is completed, the second clamping jaw 14 is driven to drive the box cover 2 to rotate, close the turnover box, flip the first support rod 11 to 180°, put down the turnover box, and clamp the next turnover box.

[0045] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
