Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary machinery technology for cigarette machines, and in particular to a filter rod collecting device. Background Technology

[0002] During the cigarette production process, the transmitter in the forming section uses positive pressure air to launch filter rods through the launching pipe to the filter rod receiving device on the cigarette rolling machine in the packaging section. The filter rod receiving device neatly transports the filter rods launched by the transmitter into the filter rod hopper for the cigarette rolling machine to produce cigarettes.

[0003] The transmitter and the cigarette-making machine are connected via a conveying pipe. The inner diameter of the conveying pipe is larger than the outer diameter of the filter rod. However, when the filter rod passes through the pipe at high speed and for a long time, the adhesive on the filter rod adheres to the inner wall of the conveying pipe due to collision and friction, resulting in glue scale on the inner surface of the pipe. This easily causes filter rod blockage. Furthermore, transmitter malfunctions can also easily lead to filter rod blockage. After the filter rod becomes blocked, external high-pressure air is needed to clear the pipe. During the clearing process, the blocked waste filter rods in the pipe need to be collected. Existing technology has collection devices for collecting filter rods. However, these collection devices usually connect to the transmitter pipe through an additional pipeline to collect the filter rods. But because the transmitter pipe outlet is high and the conveying pipe is laid in mid-air, the additional pipeline inevitably has a certain angle, resulting in poor filter rod conveying efficiency, affecting the maintenance progress of the transmitter pipe, and thus adversely affecting the cigarette production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a filter rod collection device is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connector 11 is connected to the collection box 10 by a fixing bolt 111.

[0042] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The first support 20 includes a fixed plate 21 and two extension plates 22. The fixed plate 21 is fixedly connected to the collection box 10, and the two extension plates 22 are respectively connected to both sides of the fixed plate 21. The extension plates 22 can be connected to the conveying pipe 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixed plate 21 is fixedly connected to the collection box 10 by welding. The two extension plates 22 are integrally formed with the fixed plate 21, and the two extension plates 22 are located at both ends of the fixed plate 21 along the second direction. Both extension plates 22 can be connected to the conveying pipe 2.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 2The second support 30 includes a connecting plate 31 and two upright plates 32. The two upright plates 32 are fixedly connected to the collection box 10 and are parallel and spaced apart. The connecting plate 31 is connected to both upright plates 32, and the length of the connecting plate 31 is greater than the gap between the two upright plates 32. Both ends of the connecting plate 31 can be connected to the conveying pipe 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the two upright plates 32 are fixedly connected to both sides of the collection box 10 by welding to ensure the stability of the connection with the collection box 10. The connecting plate 31 extends along the second direction, and both ends of the connecting plate 31 can be connected to the conveying pipe 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the collection box 10.

[0044] Furthermore, the first bracket 20 also includes a first snap-fit ​​portion, and both extension plates 22 are equipped with the first snap-fit ​​portion, which can snap into the conveying pipe 2; and / or, the second bracket 30 also includes a second snap-fit ​​portion, and both ends of the connecting plate 31 are equipped with the second snap-fit ​​portion, which can snap into the conveying pipe 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the extension plate 22 is snapped into the conveying pipe 2 through the first snap-fit ​​portion, and both ends of the connecting plate 31 are snapped into the conveying pipe 2 through the second snap-fit ​​portion. This arrangement makes it easy to adjust the position of the collection box 10 along the extension direction of the pipeline, improving ease of use.

[0045] Furthermore, the first engaging portion includes at least two first latches 231, which are spaced apart; and / or, the second engaging portion includes at least two second latches 311, which are spaced apart.

This arrangement ensures the secure connection between the collection box 10 and the conveying pipe 2, and avoids compromising the installation stability of the collection box 10.

[0046] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6The filter rod collecting device 1 also includes two extension brackets 40. One extension bracket 40 can be connected to one of the extension plates 22 of the first bracket 20, so that the extension plate 22 and the extension bracket 40 can be connected to the two conveying pipes 2 located on the same side of the target conveying pipe 2 respectively. The other extension bracket 40 can be connected to the corresponding end of the connecting plate 31 of the second bracket 30, so that the other extension bracket 40 and the corresponding end of the connecting plate 31 can be connected to the two conveying pipes 2 located on the same side of the target conveying pipe 2 respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment, considering that when a conveying pipe 2 located at the edge malfunctions, since there is only one other conveying pipe 2 on one side, two extension brackets 40 are added. One extension bracket 40 can be connected to one of the extension plates 22 of the first bracket 20 to connect the other conveying pipe 2 on the side of the conveying pipe 2 connected by the extension plate 22 away from the collection box 10. The other extension bracket 40 can be connected to the corresponding end of the connecting plate 31 of the second bracket 30, so that the other extension bracket 40 can be connected to the other conveying pipe 2 on the side of the conveying pipe 2 connected by the connecting plate 31 of the second bracket 30 away from the collection box 10. This arrangement allows the collection box 10 to be fixed on the two conveying pipes 2 located on the same side of the collection box 10, so that the collection box 10 still has good stability when clearing the conveying pipe 2 located at the edge, thereby ensuring the normal clearing of the conveying pipe 2.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The extension bracket 40 is provided with a third snap-fit ​​part, which includes at least two third snaps 41, and the at least two third snaps 41 are spaced apart, which enables the extension bracket 40 to be quickly connected to the delivery pipe 2, improves the connection efficiency, and has good connection stability.

[0048] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The extension bracket 40 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 42, which is used to connect the extension plate 22 or the connecting plate 31. Specifically, in this embodiment, the extension bracket 40 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 42, and the extension plate 22 or the connecting plate 31 is provided with a connecting hole. The wing screw 43 passes through the waist-shaped hole 42 and the connecting hole in sequence and is threaded to the nut, thereby connecting the extension bracket 40 to the extension plate 22 or the connecting plate 31, thus ensuring the stability and convenience of the connection between the extension bracket 40 and the extension plate 22 and the connecting plate 31.

[0049] Further, please refer to Figure 4The collection box 10 includes a first guide surface 121, a second guide surface 122, a first side surface 123, and a second side surface. The first guide surface 121, the first side surface 123, the second guide surface 122, and the second side surface are sequentially connected to form a buffer channel 12. At least a portion of the first guide surface 121 and / or at least a portion of the second guide surface 122 are curved surfaces. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first guide surface 121 is the top surface of the buffer channel 12, the second guide surface 122 is the bottom surface of the buffer channel 12, and the first side surface 123 and the second side surface connect the first guide surface 121 and the second guide surface 122 to ensure the closure of the buffer channel 12. The fact that at least a portion of the first guide surface 121 and at least a portion of the second guide surface 122 are curved surfaces allows the shape of the buffer channel 12 to conform to the running trajectory of the filter rod after it enters the buffer channel 12 from the connector 11, thereby reducing the impact between the filter rod and the collection box 10 and avoiding damage to the filter rod.

[0050] Furthermore, at least a portion of the first guide surface 121 and / or at least a portion of the second guide surface 122 are provided with shock-absorbing structures. Specifically, in this embodiment, by providing shock-absorbing structures on the first guide surface 121 and the second guide surface 122, damage to the filter rod when it collides with the first guide surface 121 or the second guide surface 122 can be reduced, thereby reducing the loss rate of the filter rod.

[0051] Further, please refer to Figure 3 The collection device also includes a tray 50, which is detachably connected to the collection box 10. The tray 50 is located at the outlet of the buffer channel 12 and can support the filter rods. Specifically, in this embodiment, the collection box 10 is equipped with a magnet 13, and the tray 50 is made of iron. The tray 50 and the collection box 10 are detachably connected by the magnet 13, thereby ensuring that the tray 50 and the collection box 10 are easy to assemble and disassemble, improving the convenience of use. After the delivery pipe 2 is cleared, the transmitter usually needs to be tested for a short time. During the test, the tray 50 can be placed at the outlet of the buffer channel 12 to facilitate the support of the filter rods. When it is not necessary to support the filter rods, the tray 50 can be fixed to the side wall of the collection box 10 by the magnet 13, making it easy to store the tray 50.
