Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cigarette production and processing technology, and specifically relates to a cigarette feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] The upstream process in cigarette rolling is the supply of tobacco. Some brands of cigarettes cannot be fed into the cigarette rolling machine by automatic tobacco feeding equipment and can only be fed into the cigarette rolling machine by manual operation.

[0003] Specifically, for this type of cigarette brand, the tobacco shreds need to be stored in trays, and then the cigarette factory operators use manual rakes to loosen the tobacco shreds in the trays and transport them to the negative pressure suction pipes. However, in the process of operators repeatedly loosening the tobacco shreds by hand and sending them to the cigarette rolling machine, the structure of the tobacco shreds is damaged, reducing the quality of the tobacco shreds. Moreover, because the consistency of the loosening and feeding of tobacco shreds by hand cannot be effectively controlled, the quality of the cigarettes rolled by the cigarette rolling machine cannot be effectively controlled, thus reducing the quality of cigarette production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tobacco feeding device that overcomes the technical problems in the prior art where operators repeatedly rake the tobacco shreds at the center of the tray with a manual rake before feeding them to the cigarette machine, damaging the tobacco structure and reducing its quality. Furthermore, the inability to effectively control the uniformity of manual rakeing and feeding leads to inconsistent cigarette quality and reduced cigarette production quality. The specific technical solution is as follows:

The arc-shaped guide ramp is mounted on the inner wall of the square cylinder, with the end of the arc-shaped guide ramp near the auxiliary lifting and feeding mechanism being higher than the end near the tobacco-dispensing roller. The negative pressure tobacco-feeding pipe is mounted at the end near the lowest point of the arc-shaped guide ramp and is connected to the square cylinder. The drive motor drives the rotation of the tobacco-dispensing roller to disperse the tobacco and discharge it through the negative pressure tobacco-feeding pipe. The drive motor is electrically connected to the control center, which controls the drive motor. The first pulley is mounted at the bottom of the square cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the wire storage tube is installed above the square tube and communicates with the square tube. The wire storage tube is funnel-shaped, and the upper opening of the wire storage tube is larger than its lower opening.

[0029] Example

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a tobacco feeding device for feeding tobacco to a downstream cigarette machine, specifically including a tobacco storage cylinder 200, an automatic tobacco feeding mechanism 100, an auxiliary lifting and feeding mechanism 300, and a control center 400.

[0031] The tobacco storage spool 200 is installed above the automatic tobacco feeding mechanism 100 and is connected to the automatic tobacco feeding mechanism 100 below it. The auxiliary lifting and feeding mechanism 300 is installed behind the automatic tobacco feeding mechanism 100, and the discharge direction of the auxiliary lifting and feeding mechanism 300 is aligned with the inlet of the tobacco storage spool 200 so that the auxiliary lifting and feeding mechanism 300 can feed the tobacco to the tobacco storage spool 200. The control center 400 is electrically connected to the automatic tobacco feeding mechanism 100 and controls the automatic tobacco feeding mechanism 100 through the control center 400.

[0032] Preferably, the automatic tobacco feeding mechanism 100 includes a square cylinder 110, a drive motor 120, a tobacco feeding roller 130, tobacco feeding strips 140, a negative pressure tobacco feeding pipe 150, an arc-shaped tobacco guide ramp 160, and a first pulley. The drive motor 120 is mounted on the outer side of the square cylinder 110, and the output end of the drive motor 120 is connected to the tobacco feeding roller 130. The tobacco feeding roller 130 is mounted on the inner wall of the square cylinder 110, and a plurality of tobacco feeding strips 140 are evenly arranged on the tobacco feeding roller 130. The arc-shaped tobacco guide ramp 160 is mounted on the inner wall of the square cylinder 110. The end of the 60 near the auxiliary lifting and feeding mechanism 300 is higher than the end near the tobacco-dispensing roller 130. The negative pressure feeding pipe 150 is installed at the end near the lowest point of the arc-shaped guide slope 160. The negative pressure feeding pipe 150 is connected to the square cylinder 110. The rotation of the tobacco-dispensing roller 130 driven by the drive motor 120 is used to disperse the tobacco and discharge it through the negative pressure feeding pipe 150. The drive motor 120 is electrically connected to the control center 400, which is used to control the drive motor 120. The first pulley is installed at the bottom of the square cylinder 110.

[0033] Preferably, the tobacco storage tube 200 is installed above and communicates with the square tube 110. The tobacco storage tube 200 is funnel-shaped, with its upper opening larger than its lower opening. This is to better receive the tobacco fed by the auxiliary lifting and feeding mechanism 300. Notably, the tobacco storage tube 200 has a through-hole on its side, with a sliding pin 210. Adjusting the pin 210 adjusts the opening size of the tobacco storage tube 200, thereby adjusting the falling speed of the tobacco. When not in use, the pin 210 can be tightened to seal the funnel, ensuring the square tube 110 is in a sealed state and reducing the impact of the environment on the moisture content of the tobacco. A transparent observation side plate 111 is screwed to the side of the square tube 110, allowing for more direct and real-time observation of the actual situation inside the square tube 110. A flip-up transparent plate 112 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the square cylinder 110. The flip-up transparent plate 112 can be adjusted in real time according to the situation observed by the transparent observation side plate 111 to avoid blockage during the conveying process. The flip-up transparent plate 112 can be used for effective operation in real time. At the same time, when the device is not in use, the flip-up transparent plate 112 can be opened to clean and maintain the inside of the square cylinder 110 with compressed air.

[0034] Preferably, the control center 400 is mounted on the square tube 110. The control center 400 includes a first photoelectric switch 410, a second photoelectric switch 420, a control module 430, and an audible and visual alarm 440. The control module 430 is electrically connected to the first photoelectric switch 410, the second photoelectric switch 420, the audible and visual alarm 440, and the drive motor 120. The control module 430 controls the first photoelectric switch 410, the second photoelectric switch 420, the audible and visual alarm 440, and the drive motor 120. The audible and visual alarm 440 is mounted on the top of the square tube 110, and the control module 430 is mounted on the side of the square tube 110. The first photoelectric switch 410 and the second photoelectric switch 420 are mounted on the side of the square tube 110. On the side of the square cylinder 110, with the sensing ends of the first photoelectric switch 410 and the second photoelectric switch 420 facing the inside of the square cylinder 110, the sensing point of the first photoelectric switch 410 is higher than the sensing point of the second photoelectric switch 420. The first photoelectric switch 410 and the second photoelectric switch 420 detect the highest and lowest points of the tobacco pile during the conveying process, which facilitates timely replenishment of tobacco or adjustment of the tobacco conveying amount. It is worth mentioning that when the amount of tobacco is low and the time of insufficient tobacco exceeds the set value, the second photoelectric switch 420 is triggered, and the control module 430 controls the audible and visual alarm 440 to issue an alarm, reminding the staff to replenish the tobacco in time, ensuring that the tobacco is evenly distributed, reducing the clumps of tobacco, and ensuring a stable supply of tobacco to downstream processes.

[0035] Preferably, the auxiliary lifting and feeding mechanism 300 includes a base 310, a scissor-type lifting part 320, an inclined wire feeding plate 330, an inclined support platform 340, a lifting pedal 350, a lowering pedal 360, and a second pulley. The inclined wire feeding plate 330 is mounted on the inclined support platform 340, and the inclined support platform 340 is mounted on the base 310 via the scissor-type lifting part 320. The lifting pedal 350 and the lowering pedal 360 are mounted on the base 310 and are mechanically connected to the scissor-type lifting part 320, respectively. The lifting height of the scissor-type lifting part 320 is adjusted by the lifting pedal 350 and the lowering pedal 360. The second pulley is mounted on the base 310. The auxiliary lifting and feeding mechanism 300 is prior art and will not be explained in detail here.

[0036] Preferably, a sliding crossbar 341 is provided on the discharge end of the inclined support platform 340. The sliding crossbar 341 can slide up and down at the discharge port of the inclined support platform 340. The position of the sliding crossbar 341 is adjusted according to the volume of the bagged tobacco to fix the bagged tobacco.

[0037] In summary, the feeding device provided by this utility model achieves uniform dispersing of tobacco shreds entering a square tube through an automatic tobacco dispersing mechanism. The tobacco shreds, after being uniformly dispersed in the square tube, are then fed into a cigarette rolling machine through a negative pressure feeding pipe for cigarette rolling. This solves the technical problems in the prior art where operators repeatedly rake the tobacco shreds at the center of the tray with a manual rake before feeding them to the cigarette rolling machine, which damages the tobacco shred structure and reduces the quality of the tobacco shreds. It also addresses the difficulty in effectively controlling the uniformity of manual rakeing and feeding, thus hindering the control of cigarette quality and reducing the overall quality of cigarette production.
