Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco leaf preparation technology, and in particular, it relates to a multifunctional material conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] Tobacco shreds refer to tobacco products made by cutting tobacco leaves into shreds, granules, flakes, powder, or other shapes, adding auxiliary materials, fermenting and storing them, and then selling them for smoking without rolling them. Examples include pipe tobacco, mohawk tobacco, tobacco dust, hookah, and yellow and red tobacco shreds. There are various ways to use tobacco shreds: they can be rolled directly into any shape with cigarette paper, rolled into cigarette shape using a special cigarette rolling machine, or used with pipes or other smoking devices. Tobacco shreds are formed from processed tobacco leaves, and the flavor varies greatly depending on the origin. Genuine cigarette tobacco shreds mainly consist of leaf shreds, stem shreds, and thin tobacco sheets.
[0003] In cigarette manufacturing, tobacco shreds need to be transported to designated production machines. For example, Chinese invention patent CN103723467A proposes a tobacco shred transport mechanism in a tobacco shred production line. This mechanism includes multiple conveyor belts arranged sequentially along the production line, with a height difference between adjacent conveyor belts. These two adjacent conveyor belts are connected by an inclined chute, with the upper end of the chute positioned at the end of the higher conveyor belt and the lower end positioned on the conveying surface of the lower conveyor belt. This invention, using an inclined chute to connect two adjacent conveyor belts with a height difference, effectively solves a series of problems such as material leakage, tobacco shred splattering, tobacco breakage, and improved environmental hygiene. Furthermore, the chute is simple to install and easy to maintain, reducing maintenance time and costs, and effectively improving product quality.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned tobacco transport mechanism still has the following drawbacks: the tobacco storage room production line is long, the concentration of dust in the air is high, and other impurities may be mixed in during the transport of the finished tobacco produced during production, causing secondary pollution of the tobacco and reducing the quality of the tobacco products; moreover, there are many production lines, and there is time when maintenance and production are carried out at the same time. During the transport of tobacco, the humidity of the tobacco needs to be checked frequently and sorted, so the tobacco is exposed to the air during the transport process and is not protected, and therefore it is easily polluted by dust.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary for us to design a reasonable, efficient and multifunctional material conveying device. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional material conveying device with a simple structure.

[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0025] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement and steps of the modules and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.
[0026] At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the process shown in the attached diagram is not performed in isolation, but rather involves multiple steps that overlap.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0028] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.
[0029] Techniques, methods, and systems known to a person skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the license specification.
[0030] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this is only one embodiment of the present utility model. A multifunctional material conveying device includes a conveying section 3, a baffle 2 disposed on the side of the conveying section 3, and a cover plate 1 disposed on the upper side of the conveying section 3. The cover plate 1 is provided with a functional port 13 and a movable plate 11 for sliding within the functional port. A sensor 12 is provided on the cover plate 1 extending toward the conveying section 3.
[0031] In this application, the conveyor section 3 still uses a conventional conveyor roller 31 to drive the conveyor belt 32 to transport the material 4 (i.e., tobacco). At least one conveyor roller 31 is a drive roller (power roller). The conveyor belt 32 has a certain length and is used to transport the material 4 to other production machines. This application is designed in the area where the conveyor belt 32 is transported. The baffle 2 is set on the side of the conveyor belt 32, and the cover plate 1 is set on the top of the conveyor belt 32. So there should be two baffles 2. The cover plate 1 can contact the upper end of the baffle 2. In fact, the lower end of the baffle 2 is provided with a bottom sealing plate 21. The bottom sealing plate 21 is located on the lower side of the conveyor belt 32. So the bottom sealing plate 21, the cover plate 1 and the two baffles 2 surround the conveyor belt 32, so that the material 4 transported on the conveyor belt 32 can be isolated, avoiding contact contamination from dust, tobacco oil droplets and other pollutants in the entire tobacco processing workshop.
[0032] Then, the cover plate 1 is provided with a functional opening 13 and a movable plate 11 for sliding within the functional opening, so that when the movable plate 11 slides to one end, it can close the functional opening 13, and when the movable plate 11 slides to the other end, it can open the functional opening 13; specifically, the movable plate 11 includes a horizontal plate 111 and a vertical plate 112 disposed at the end of the horizontal plate 111; the side wall of the functional opening 13 is provided with a sliding groove 131 for facilitating the sliding of the horizontal plate 111, and the sliding groove 131 is horizontally disposed on the cover plate. In the middle of 1, the vertical plate 112 is located at the end of the horizontal plate 111 away from the sliding groove 131. When the horizontal plate 111 of the movable plate 11 is inserted into the sliding groove 131 to the deepest point, the functional port 13 opens, making it convenient for operators to inspect and sort the material 4 in transit. Conversely, when the horizontal plate 111 of the movable plate 11 is pulled out of the sliding groove 131 until the vertical plate 112 abuts against the side wall of the functional port 13, the functional port 13 closes to prevent debris in the silk-making workshop from contacting the material 4 and causing contamination.
[0033] Of course, the movable plate 11 is a transparent piece that is integrally formed. Even if the movable plate 11 closes the function port 13, the operator can still observe the internal conveying section 3 and material 4 through the transparent movable plate 11 from the function port 13. In addition, there should be a lot of function ports 13, and multiple function ports 13 are evenly spaced on the cover plate 1 so that the conveying section 3 can be cleaned and maintained through the function ports 13.
[0034] Finally, a sensor 12 extending toward the conveying section 3 is provided on the cover plate 1. Since a protective structure is provided around the entire conveyor belt 32, in order to avoid material blockage during the material 4 conveying process, a sensor 12 is provided on the lower side of the cover plate 1 to sense the material 4 conveying status on the conveyor belt 32.
[0035] Sensor 12 is an infrared rangefinder used to detect the distance between sensor 12 and material 4, thereby obtaining the stacking height of material 4. Once the stacking height exceeds a predetermined threshold, the alarm connected to sensor 12 needs to be notified to sound an alarm and notify the operator to clear the blockage in time to avoid material blockage.
[0036] In another scenario, sensor 12 can also be a humidity detector, used to sense the humidity of material 4 and trigger an alarm when the humidity of material 4 exceeds a predetermined threshold.
[0037] In another case, sensor 12 includes at least one infrared rangefinder and at least one humidity sensor.
[0038] In this way, by adding baffles and covers to the conveyor belt to form a protective structure, the material can be effectively prevented from being contaminated by foreign matter. The cover is equipped with a movable opening to facilitate the inspection and sorting of materials during the material transport. Moreover, the sensors on the cover can detect the normal material transport and ensure stable and normal material conveying.
[0039] Example 2, still as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this is only one embodiment of the present invention. Based on the first embodiment, in the multifunctional material conveying device of the present invention, there are two baffles 2, and the two baffles 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying part 3; the cover plate 1 is provided with connecting plates 14 for connecting with the baffles 2 on both sides, and the lower end of the connecting plate 14 is provided with an insertion port 141 for facilitating the insertion of the baffles 2; making it convenient for the baffles 2 to be inserted into the cover plate 1, and also convenient for disassembly and installation.
[0040] In this utility model, an upper clamping plate 113 is provided at the upper end of the vertical plate 112, and a lower clamping plate 114 is provided at the lower end of the vertical plate 112; the distance between the upper clamping plate 113 and the lower clamping plate 114 is equal to the thickness of the cover plate 1. When the functional opening 13 is closed, the upper clamping plate 113 and the lower clamping plate 114 are respectively clamped on the upper and lower sides of the cover plate 1 to ensure that the movable plate 11 seals the functional opening 13.
[0041] In this utility model, a mounting plate 121 is provided on the lower side of the cover plate 1 to facilitate the installation of the sensor 12, and a first bolt 122 is provided on the cover plate 1 for connecting with the mounting plate 121.
[0042] Furthermore, at least a portion of the cover plate 1 is arc-shaped; in fact, the connection between the cover plate 1 and the connecting plate 14 is set to be arc-shaped to avoid bumping or hitting the operator.
[0043] Finally, the baffle 2 is provided with a second bolt 22 for connecting with the bottom sealing plate 21. In other words, the bottom sealing plate 21 is detachable. Since the function port 13 needs to be opened occasionally, some dust will still fall on the surface of the bottom sealing plate 21 after a long time. The bottom sealing plate 21 needs to be removed and cleaned every once in a while.
[0044] This utility model discloses a multifunctional material conveying device with a simple structure. It adds baffles and covers to the belt conveyor to form a protective structure. Under the protection of the protective structure, the material can be effectively prevented from being mixed with foreign matter and contaminated. The cover is provided with a movable opening to facilitate the inspection and sorting of materials during material conveying. Moreover, the sensor on the cover can detect the normal material conveying and ensure stable and normal material conveying.
[0045] This utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
