DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.
[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Example 1:
[0035] Please see the attached Figure 1 The utility model provides an automatic tobacco collecting device, comprising a collecting mechanism 1, which comprises a first conveying component 11, a weighing component 12 and a first supporting component 13. The first conveying component 11 is used to carry or move the tobacco box; the weighing component 12 is connected to the lower end of the first conveying component 11; the weighing component 12 comprises a weighing sensor 121 and a fixing component 122, the weighing sensor 121 is connected to the fixing component 122, and the end of the weighing sensor 121 away from the fixing component 122 is connected to the first conveying component 11; the first supporting component 13 is distributed in an array at the lower end of the weighing component 12, the first supporting component 13 comprises a connecting component 131 and a supporting component 132, and the connecting component 131 is connected between the supporting component 132 and the fixing component 122.
[0036] The first conveying member 11 is used to carry and move an empty or fully loaded tobacco box. The tobacco box is loaded with tobacco. The weighing member 12 is used to measure the weight of the tobacco dropped into the tobacco box. The first supporting member 13 supports the weighing member 12 and the first conveying member 11, ensuring the stability of the material receiving mechanism 1.
[0037] The material receiving mechanism 1 in this embodiment operates as follows: when an empty tobacco box is placed on the first conveying component 11, the first conveying component 11 does not move, waiting for a certain weight of tobacco to fall into the tobacco box, thereby collecting the tobacco. When the weighing sensor 121 senses the set weight, it transmits a full-load signal to the system center, causing the system center to control the tobacco to stop falling into the tobacco box, and starts the first conveying component 11, moving the tobacco box to the next station, and then moving the empty tobacco box onto the first conveying component 11. When the weighing sensor 121 senses that the weight has not reached the set value, it transmits an empty-load signal to the system center, causing the system center to control the first conveying component 11 to stop operating, and then controls the tobacco to fall into the tobacco box. The operation is repeated to ensure continuous tobacco unloading and transportation, thereby completing the automatic tobacco receiving operation.
[0038] Through the above-mentioned method, the tobacco box can be automatically moved without manual operation, effectively simplifying the tobacco collection operation and correspondingly improving the degree of automation of tobacco collection. The use of the weighing component 12 to weigh the tobacco can ensure that the tobacco loading weight of each tobacco box is uniform, which is convenient for subsequent processing. In addition, the provision of the first support component 13 can ensure stability during the tobacco collection process and ensure smooth collection operation.
[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , further comprising a moving component 14, the moving component 14 being connected to one side of the first supporting component 13, and the moving component 14 and the first supporting component 13 being switchable for use. In this way, when the tobacco shreds are being collected, that is, the first supporting component 13 contacts the bottom surface, and the moving component 14 is vacated, thereby ensuring stable tobacco collection. When another tobacco discharge port needs to be collected, the moving component 14 can be switched to contact the ground, so that the first supporting component 13 is vacated, thereby allowing the collecting mechanism 1 to be conveniently moved to tobacco discharge ports at different positions through the moving component 14, effectively improving flexibility, increasing the convenience of movement of the collecting mechanism 1, and making operation easy.
[0040] In some embodiments, the movable component 14 includes a mounting plate 141, an operating plate 142, casters 143, and a connecting plate 144. The mounting plate 141 is fixedly connected to the support member 132, and the casters 143 are movably connected to the mounting plate 141. The operating plate 142 is hingedly connected to the mounting plate 141 and is disposed above the casters 143. The connecting plates 144 are connected to both sides of the casters 143 and are fixedly connected to the operating plate 142. With this arrangement, when the material receiving mechanism 1 is at the tobacco discharge port for material receiving, the movable component 14 is vacant and the first supporting member 13 is in contact with the ground, thereby ensuring the operational stability of the material receiving mechanism 1. When the material receiving mechanism 1 needs to be moved to another tobacco discharge port, the movable component 14 is switched to contact with the ground, so that the first support component 13 is free. The specific action is: the operator's foot presses down the operating plate 142, which in turn applies force to the connecting plate 144, causing the caster 143 to move toward the ground and contact the ground, thereby supporting the first support component 13 until it is free. The movable component 14 is activated, thereby realizing the movement function of the material receiving mechanism 1. The material receiving mechanism 1 in this structure is easy and quick to move. Since the function of the material receiving mechanism 1 can be switched by simply stepping on it, the operator's operation is improved.
[0041] In some embodiments, a foot pedal 145 extends from the operating panel 142 away from the mounting plate 141. Preferably, the angle formed between the foot pedal 145 and the operating panel 142 is between 100° and 120°. This angle facilitates the operator's ability to switch the contact area by stepping on the foot. The angle and stepping direction are coordinated, allowing the foot to exert force using its own weight, thereby making it easier for the operator to switch the state of the material receiving mechanism 1.
[0042] In some embodiments, four load cells 121 are provided, each disposed at the corners of the first conveying member 11. This arrangement disperses the load cells 121 at the corners of the first conveying member 11, evenly distributing the load cells 121 throughout the first conveying member 11. This effectively and accurately measures the weight of the tobacco in the first conveying member 11, ensuring uniformity in the weight of the tobacco loaded in each tobacco box. This facilitates subsequent use of the tobacco, is highly practical, and enables early control of the tobacco weight.
[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The first conveying component 11 includes a frame 111, a roller 112, and a chain 113. The roller 112 is arranged in a linear array in the frame 111, and the chain 113 is driven and connected to the roller 112. The driving source of the chain 113 can adopt an existing driving source, such as a motor. In this way, when the first conveying component 11 is loaded with a set weight of tobacco, the first conveying component 11 is activated to drive the tobacco to the next station. When the tobacco does not reach the set weight, the first conveying component 11 does not operate. Specifically, the operation process of the first conveying component 11 is as follows: the existing driving source drives the chain 113 to operate, and then drives the roller 112 to operate, thereby driving the tobacco to move, realizing the moving function, and through the setting of the frame 111, the stability of the operation process of the first conveying component 11 can be guaranteed.
[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The first conveying component 11 also includes a guide rod 114 and a fixed rod frame 115. The guide rods 114 are respectively arranged on both sides of the roller shaft 112. The fixed rod frame 115 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 114 and arranged in an array along the guide rod 114. Preferably, the front end of the guide rod 114 is in an outward-facing "X" shape, wherein the front and rear ends are defined by the rolling direction of the roller shaft 112 in the first conveying component 11, and the position of inflow from the first conveying component 11 is the front end, and the position of outflow is the rear end. The outward-facing "X" shape can facilitate the entry of the tobacco box, avoid the box jam phenomenon, and improve the smoothness of the movement of the tobacco box. And by setting the guide rod 114, the movement deviation phenomenon of the guide rod 114 in the first conveying component 11 can be avoided, ensuring that the tobacco box moves along a directional route, ensuring coordination with the upstream and downstream devices, and ensuring the accuracy of movement.
[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The first conveying member 11 also includes a sensor 116 fixedly connected to the frame 111. This allows the sensor 116 to monitor the tobacco box and, in conjunction with the load cell 121, when the load cell 121 detects that the tobacco box has not reached the set weight and the sensor 116 senses the presence of the tobacco box, it controls the first conveying member 11 to remain inactive. This effectively improves the automation of tobacco collection and enhances process pacing.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] Based on Example 1, see Figure 6 This embodiment further includes an input mechanism 2 and an output mechanism 3. The input mechanism 2, the receiving mechanism 1, and the output mechanism 3 are sequentially connected end to end. In this way, the front and rear ends of the receiving mechanism 1 can be connected, ensuring the flow of tobacco into and out of the tobacco box and the continuity of tobacco collection.
[0048] In some embodiments, the input mechanism 2 includes a second conveying component 21 and a second supporting component 22, and the second conveying component 21 is connected to the upper end of the second supporting component 22; the output mechanism 3 includes a third conveying component 31 and a third supporting component 32, and the third conveying component 31 is connected to the third supporting component 32; the second conveying component 21 and the third conveying component 31 have the same structure as the first conveying component 11; the second supporting component 22 and the third supporting component 32 have the same structure as the first supporting component 13.
[0049] By setting the input mechanism 2 and the output mechanism 3 as described above, the overall operation process is: the second conveying component 21 in the input mechanism 2 can convey an empty tobacco box to the receiving mechanism 1, and the third conveying component 31 in the output mechanism 3 can convey a fully loaded tobacco box to the receiving mechanism 1, effectively improving the degree of automation of tobacco collecting.
[0050] In addition, both the input mechanism 2 and the output mechanism 3 include a moving part 14 that can move along with the movement of the receiving mechanism 1, providing high flexibility. The flow direction can also be freely combined according to the production path, with strong adaptability. The overall device is easy to assemble and disassemble, making it easy to operate.
