Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette production technology, and in particular to a gravity chain retraction device for a transmitter material storage. Background Technology

[0002] The filter rod forming workshop is responsible for the production and firing of filter rods in the factory. After being cured for a period of time, the produced filter rods are sent to the cigarette rolling workshop by the firing machine. Filter rod firing rate is an important performance indicator for the workshop. When the firing rate is too low, it will seriously affect the production of cigarettes. Therefore, the workshop is committed to reducing the number of equipment downtimes. However, the following problems lead to the necessity of equipment shutdown: 1. The firing machine operator discovers quality problems with the filter rods during self-inspection; 2. The equipment malfunctions, affecting the firing of filter rods. In response to these problems, operators and maintenance personnel usually need to take quick action, stop the machine in time, remove the filter rods from the firing machine's material storage and replace them with a new batch, or repair the machine and then replace the old filter rods. At the same time, the cigarette rolling workshop responds simultaneously, manually adding filter rods to ensure the normal production of the cigarette rolling equipment.

[0003] To prevent filter rods from shifting and becoming disordered in the transmitter's hopper, a gravity chain is installed at the top of the hopper. The gravity of the chain holds the filter rods in place. Replacing filter rods at the transmitter usually requires two operators: one manually lifts the gravity chain to create enough space for the other to easily retrieve the filter rod. Typically, one operator in the filter rod forming workshop operates 2-3 transmitters. When filter rod quality issues or equipment malfunctions require a rapid response, it usually necessitates seeking assistance from another operator. In situations where assistance is sought but cannot be obtained due to staff shortages, single-person operation severely impacts processing speed. Utility Model Content
