Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tobacco detection, in particular to a device for continuously sorting cigarette ventilation rates. Background Art

[0002] In tobacco processing and quality control, ventilation rate, as a key indicator for evaluating the physical properties of tobacco products (such as cigarettes), plays a crucial role in ensuring product quality and consumer experience. Ventilation rate directly impacts the combustion performance, smoke composition, and taste of tobacco products. Therefore, accurate measurement and proper sorting of ventilation rate are essential components of the production process.

[0003] However, the ventilation rate testing and sorting methods currently used in the industry have significant limitations. Specifically, most manufacturers still rely on traditional manual testing and sorting methods. This method requires operators to test each tobacco product individually and manually sort them into different grades or batches based on the test results. This operating mode is not only inefficient and difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency production, but also significantly increases the labor intensity and workload of operators. Furthermore, manual testing and sorting inevitably requires operators to come into direct contact with tobacco samples. This contact not only causes sample compression and deformation, affecting the accuracy of test results, but also may introduce additional errors due to human factors (such as improper operation and fatigue). More importantly, long-term manual operation poses potential health risks to operators, such as respiratory diseases caused by frequent exposure to tobacco dust.

[0004] In view of the above problems, it is particularly important to develop a device that can automatically, efficiently and accurately complete ventilation rate testing and sorting. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear, the following will combine the drawings in the utility model, and the technical scheme in the utility model is described clearly and completely, obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, rather than all the embodiment. Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1The utility model provides a horizontal continuous sorting device for cigarette ventilation rate, comprising a supporting mechanism 100, a conveying guide mechanism 200 and a sorting mechanism 300. The conveying guide mechanism 200 is arranged on the supporting mechanism 100. The conveying guide mechanism 200 includes a sample channel for accommodating samples to be sorted after ventilation rate detection. The conveying guide mechanism 200 is used to drive the samples to move toward the outlet of the sample channel.

[0030] The sorting mechanism 300 is mounted on the support mechanism 100 and includes a sorting trough 11, a drive motor 14, and two sorting boxes (8 and 10). The drive motor 14 is mounted outside the support mechanism 100. The sorting trough 11 is positioned opposite the outlet of the sample channel. One end of the sorting trough 11 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 14, and the other end of the sorting trough 11 is rotatably connected to the support mechanism 100. The two sorting boxes (8 and 10) are positioned side by side below the sorting trough 11 to accommodate samples with different ventilation rate test results.

[0031] When the sample is sorted, the sample falls into the sorting slot 11 through the outlet of the sample channel under the drive of the conveying guide mechanism 200. The driving motor 14 is controlled to rotate forward or reverse to rotate the sorting slot 11 in different directions, thereby sorting the sample into one of the two sorting boxes.

[0032] Specifically, the conveying guide mechanism 200 includes a pulley 7, a synchronous belt 1, and a guide arc plate 16. The pulley 7 is rotatably mounted on the support mechanism 100, and the synchronous belt 1 is sleeved on the pulley 7. The pulley 7 drives the synchronous belt 1 to rotate synchronously. The synchronous belt 1 is provided with a plurality of accommodating grooves at intervals, and the samples are placed in the accommodating grooves to limit the position of the samples.

[0033] The guide arc plate 16 is fixed to the support mechanism 100 and is positioned corresponding to the pulley 7. The gap between the guide arc plate 16 and the synchronous belt 1 forms the sample channel. The sample is guided along the sample channel to the outlet of the sample channel by the guide arc plate 16. The curvature of the guide arc plate 16 matches the curvature of the pulley 7, so that when assembled, the guide arc plate 16 can limit and guide the sample in the sample channel, preventing the sample from escaping from the corresponding receiving slot within the sample channel due to factors such as gravity.

[0034] It can be understood that the outlet of the sample channel refers to the tail position of the guide arc plate 16. After losing the limiting and guiding function of the guide arc plate 16, the sample will naturally fall downward under the action of gravity, thereby leaving the sample channel.

[0035] The support mechanism 100 includes two pulley brackets 3, two adjustable brackets 4, and a crossbeam 17. The two ends of the pulleys 7 are rotatably mounted on the two pulley brackets 3, and the movable ends of the two adjustable brackets 4 are rotatably mounted on the outsides of the two pulley brackets 3. The crossbeam 17 is arranged along the axial direction of the pulleys 7, and the two ends of the crossbeam 17 are fixedly connected to the fixed ends of the two adjustable brackets 4 via hand screws 2. One end of the guide arc plate 16 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 17. The outlet position of the sample channel is adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the adjustable bracket 4.

[0036] The number of pulleys 7 can be one, two, or more than two pairs, and there is no limitation here. When the number of pulleys 7 is two or more pairs, the two or more pairs of pulleys 7 are arranged side by side, that is, the pulleys 7 located on the same side / end of the two or more pairs of pulleys 7 are coaxially arranged, thereby enhancing the transmission capacity of the transmission guide mechanism 200; and the number of the guide arc plates 16 and the synchronous belt 1 are also adapted to the number of the pulleys 7.

[0037] Furthermore, each movable end of the adjustable bracket 4 is provided with at least one arc-shaped long hole 18, and the pulley bracket 3 is provided with a positioning column (not shown) corresponding to the arc-shaped long hole 18, and the positioning column is passed through the arc-shaped long hole 18. When the adjustable bracket 4 is adjusted, the positioning column is used to limit the rotation angle of the adjustable bracket 4.

[0038] The support mechanism 100 also includes an auxiliary bracket 5, a base plate 6 and a motor bracket 12. The base plate 6 is connected to the bottom of the two pulley brackets 3. The auxiliary bracket 5 and the motor bracket 12 are both fixed on the base plate 6, and the auxiliary bracket 5 and the motor bracket 12 are respectively located on the outside of the two pulley brackets 3. The two ends of the sorting trough 11 are respectively connected to the inner sides of the auxiliary bracket 5 and the motor bracket 12, and the drive motor 14 is installed on the outside of the motor bracket 12.

[0039] Among them, the sorting slot 11 includes at least two slots, and the two sorting boxes are respectively a first-level sorting box 8 and a second-level sorting box 10. When one slot of the sorting slot 11 is flipped from the outlet facing the sample channel to the opening facing the first-level sorting box 8 or the second-level sorting box 10, the other slot of the sorting slot 11 is flipped to the outlet position facing the sample channel, so that continuous sorting can be achieved. Compared with a sorting slot with only one slot, setting at least two slots on the sorting slot can significantly improve the sorting efficiency.

[0040] In this embodiment, the sorting trough 11 is provided with four slots along its circumference, and each slot is used to carry samples falling from the outlet of the sample channel. When a slot collects a certain number of samples, the drive motor 14 drives the sorting trough 11 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise according to the sample ventilation rate detection result so as to sort the samples into the corresponding sorting box. At the same time, the next vacant slot rotates to the outlet position facing the sample channel, thereby improving the sorting efficiency.

[0041] The synchronous belt 1 rotates only one slot at a time, ensuring that only one sample falls from the sample channel outlet each time, allowing for accurate sorting based on the ventilation rate test results of each sample. It is understood that when the conveying guide mechanism 200 has two sample channels arranged side by side, the slots on the two synchronous belts 1 corresponding to the two sample channels are staggered, ensuring that only one sample falls from the sample channel outlet each time.

[0042] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism 300 also includes a locking ring 13 and a sensor 15. The sorting tank 11 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 14 via the locking ring 13. The locking ring 13 is provided with detection points along its circumference that correspond one-to-one to the notches. The sensor 15 is provided on the motor bracket 12 corresponding to the locking ring 13. The sensor 15 determines the position of the notch corresponding to the outlet of the sample channel by detecting the detection points on the locking ring 13. For example, when the sensor 15 detects a detection point, it indicates that the notch corresponding to the detection point has rotated to a position facing the outlet of the sample channel. This design can ensure the accuracy of the position of the notch of the sorting tank 11 corresponding to the outlet of the sample channel.

[0043] The sorting device 300 also includes a bracket 9, which is placed below the primary sorting box 8 and the secondary sorting box 10. The bracket 9 is provided with positioning grooves corresponding to the primary sorting box 8 and the secondary sorting box 10 respectively. The bottoms of the primary sorting box 8 and the secondary sorting box 10 are respectively embedded in the corresponding positioning grooves, thereby limiting the primary sorting box 8 and the secondary sorting box 10.

[0044] The joint of the primary sorting box 8 and the secondary sorting box 10 is aligned with the axis of the sorting trough 11. The sidewalls of the primary sorting box 8 and the secondary sorting box 10 on the side close to the sorting trough 11 are inclined, so that the opening area of ​​each sorting box is larger than its bottom area. This ensures that when the sorting trough 11 rotates, the sample in the slot can be accurately placed into the corresponding sorting box, thereby improving the accuracy of sorting. In addition, the inclined design of the sorting box can provide a buffer for the sample to fall, avoiding damage to the sample.

[0045] After detecting the ventilation rate of the sample in the horizontal direction, the sample is placed on the synchronous belt 1 for transmission in turn. After passing through the sample channel formed by the synchronous belt 1 and the guide arc plate 16, the sample falls in an orderly manner from the tail of the guide arc plate 16. At the same time, the sensor 15 determines that the slot of the sorting trough 11 is facing the exit position of the sample channel by detecting the detection point on the locking ring 13. According to the sample ventilation rate detection result, the driving motor 14 drives the sorting trough 11 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise so as to sort the sample into the corresponding sorting box.

[0046] The sorting device of the utility model does not require manual sorting, can avoid sample extrusion and deformation caused by manual sorting, significantly improves work efficiency, reduces sorting errors caused by human factors in the manual sorting process, reduces the workload of operators, and at the same time ensures the accuracy of test results and the integrity of samples.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
