Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to special filter rod forming equipment technical field, concretely relates to a kind of guiding multistage contraction device of reconstituted tobacco filter rod suction resistance stability. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cigarette filter rod is the filtration system of cigarette smoke, is the key material of cigarette tar interception and adsorption, and is one of the important carriers of cigarette flavor compensation. The commonly used filter material for cigarettes is acetate fiber, and the acetate fiber filter has good tar filtering efficiency, but lacks aroma supplementing function and is not easily biodegradable, which can pollute the environment after being discarded. At the same time, the reduction of cigarette tar also causes loss of flavor, making it difficult for low-tar cigarettes to gain the recognition of consumers. With increasing human concern for health and the environment, the development of low-tar and low-hazard cigarettes has given rise to new demands for green and environmentally friendly aroma-enhancing and other multifunctional special filter rod filter materials.

[0003] Reconstituted tobacco, also known as tobacco sheet, reconstituted tobacco leaf, and homogenized tobacco leaf, is mainly composed of tobacco dust, fragments, and low-grade tobacco leaves, as well as adhesive and other additives. Its production processes include roller pressing, thick slurry, papermaking, and dry method. Reconstituted tobacco made from low-grade tobacco raw materials is cost-effective, has good filling properties, and has the advantage of reducing smoke tar. Reconstituted tobacco contains a large amount of tobacco components, and when cut and filled into cigarette tobacco, it can be used for burning and smoking, or it can be used as a filter material for cigarettes. Chinese patent CN 211672434 U discloses a tobacco sheet filter rod and a composite filter rod, wherein the tobacco sheet filter rod has a filter core made of tobacco sheet, which can bring full tobacco flavor and improve the filtration capacity of smoke. Chinese patent CN112956725B discloses a double-layer composite reconstituted tobacco paper filter rod, which combines a reconstituted tobacco roll with a coated paper roll and is formed by a filter rod forming machine.

[0004] Dry-process reconstituted tobacco is a type of reconstituted tobacco prepared using air-laid green process technology. Compared to reconstituted tobacco produced by papermaking, thick slurry, and roller pressing methods, dry-process reconstituted tobacco has a small density, a porous structure, a high aroma-carrying ratio, and good filtration material advantages, making it suitable as a special functional filter rod material. Chinese patent CN 206354420 U discloses a dry-process reconstituted tobacco filter rod, which is composed of axially curled or folded dry-process reconstituted tobacco filter material. The filter rod can also load tobacco humectants and flavoring agents to further improve moisture retention and aroma. Chinese patent CN 206354422 U discloses a functional harm-reducing filter rod composed of dry-process reconstituted tobacco and a molecularly imprinted film roller-pressed composite sheet. The dry-process reconstituted tobacco improves the aroma of cigarettes, and the molecularly imprinted film reduces harm in a targeted manner, achieving safety and aroma enhancement during cigarette smoking.

[0005] At present, the paper filter rod forming machine is used in the rolling forming of the reconstituted tobacco filter rod production. The unwound reconstituted tobacco is cut into strips by roller pressing, and then is gathered, rolled or folded into the tobacco cavity through the conical funnel guide for forming. Since the reconstituted tobacco strand pieces are dragged to run during the rolling forming process, the strand pieces are staggered and twisted, and are naturally gathered and formed through the conical funnel guide. The filter rod strand distribution is uncontrollable and uneven, and the filter rod resistance fluctuates greatly, so that the filter rod resistance quality is unstable and the raw and auxiliary materials are wasted.

[0009] Further, the primary limiting groove includes two adjustable baffles, primary limiting groove upper plate and primary limiting groove lower plate, the two adjustable baffles are arranged between the primary limiting groove upper plate and the primary limiting groove lower plate, and the two adjustable baffles, the primary limiting groove upper plate and the primary limiting groove lower plate form a strand piece limiting groove.
