Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette machinery and equipment technology, and more specifically, to an automatic correction device for cigarette block deviation. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco processing stage, belt conveyors are the most commonly used equipment for transporting materials and are key equipment for connecting processes between production lines. Their function is to transport materials from one process to another according to a prescribed route. The belt conveyor in front of the slicing machine has higher requirements for the tobacco blocks. The tobacco blocks must be perpendicular to the blades so that the tobacco blocks can be cut evenly to meet the slicing process technical requirements (three cuts and four pieces). In addition, the width of each tobacco block is consistent, which is more conducive to the production of the next process.

[0003] However, in actual production, the tobacco blocks may move at an angle during the conveying process in the previous step. This results in inconsistent widths of the tobacco slices obtained by the slicing machine after cutting the tobacco blocks, failing to meet the requirements of process quality management, increasing raw material waste, and raising production costs.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an automatic correction device for smoke block deviation has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technical solution for an automatic correction device for smoke block deviation.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, an automatic correction device for smoke block deviation is provided, comprising: a conveyor belt, a correction component, a control component, and a drive component; limit mounting plates are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt;

[0007] The correction assembly is disposed above the conveyor belt; the correction assembly includes a fixed plate, an L-shaped connecting plate, and a guide plate. The first end of the L-shaped connecting plate is connected to the fixed plate, the second end of the L-shaped connecting plate is perpendicularly connected to the first end of the guide plate, the second end of the guide plate is connected to the fixed plate, and the angle formed between the first end of the guide plate and the L-shaped connecting plate is an obtuse angle, while the angle formed between the second end of the guide plate and the fixed plate is an acute angle.

[0009] The driving component is disposed on the outside of the limiting mounting plate, and the driving component passes through the limiting mounting plate and is connected to the fixing plate to drive the fixing plate to move.

[0010] Optionally, the end of the fixing plate is provided as an inclined surface, and the angle between the inclined surface and the limiting mounting plate is equal to the angle between the second end of the guide plate and the fixing plate.

[0011] Optionally, there are two correction components, which are respectively disposed close to two limiting mounting plates, and the two correction components are symmetrically arranged.

[0012] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a drive motor and a connecting rod, the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a first end of the connecting rod, and the second end of the connecting rod passes through the limiting mounting plate and is connected to the fixing plate.

[0013] Optionally, the drive assembly further includes a support plate, which is fixed to the limiting mounting plate, and the drive motor is fixed to the support plate.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an automatic correction device for smoke block deviation, including: a conveyor belt 1, a correction component 2, a control component and a drive component 3; limit mounting plates 5 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 1.

[0029] The correction assembly 2 is positioned above the conveyor belt 1. The correction assembly 2 includes a fixed plate 21, an L-shaped connecting plate 22, and a guide plate 23. The first end of the L-shaped connecting plate 22 is connected to the fixed plate 21, and the second end of the L-shaped connecting plate 22 is perpendicularly connected to the first end of the guide plate 23. The second end of the guide plate 23 is connected to the fixed plate 21, and the angle formed between the first end of the guide plate 23 and the L-shaped connecting plate 22 is an obtuse angle, while the angle formed between the second end of the guide plate 23 and the fixed plate 21 is an acute angle. The fixed plate 21 is arranged parallel to the limiting mounting plate 5, and the guide plate 23 is used to adjust the position of the smoke block.

[0030] Specifically, the minimum distance between the two L-shaped connecting plates 22 is greater than the width or length of the smoke block, so that the smoke block is smoothly conveyed to the slicer.

[0031] The control component is connected to the drive component 3. The control component is used to detect the position of the smoke block and control the drive component 3 to work.

[0032] Furthermore, there are two correction components 2, which are respectively positioned close to the two limit mounting plates 5 and are symmetrically arranged. The position of the smoke block is corrected by the two correction components 2.

[0033] The drive component 3 is located on the outside of the limiting mounting plate 5. The drive component 3 passes through the limiting mounting plate 5 and is connected to the fixed plate 21, and is used to drive the fixed plate 21 to move.

[0034] When the smoke block is not in the middle position of conveyor belt 1, the guide plate 23 will guide the smoke block that is not in the middle position of conveyor belt 1 to the middle position of conveyor belt 1.

[0035] When the control component detects that the tobacco block is tilted, the control component controls the drive component 3 to move, so that the two L-shaped connecting plates 22 gradually act on the tilted tobacco block, so that the tilted tobacco block is straightened, and thus the tobacco slices cut by the slicer are of the same width.

[0036] This utility model involves placing the correction component 2 above the conveyor belt 1, connecting the first end of the L-shaped connecting plate 22 to the fixed plate 21, perpendicularly connecting the second end of the L-shaped connecting plate 22 to the first end of the guide plate 23, connecting the second end of the guide plate 23 to the fixed plate 21, and forming an obtuse angle between the first end of the guide plate 23 and the L-shaped connecting plate 22, and an acute angle between the second end of the guide plate 23 and the fixed plate 21. The fixed plate 21 is arranged parallel to the limiting mounting plate 5, and the drive component 3 is placed outside the limiting mounting plate 5, passing through the limiting mounting plate 5 and connecting to the fixed plate 21. During the conveyor belt 1 conveying the smoke block, the guide plate 23 guides the smoke block that is not in the middle position of the conveyor belt 1 to the middle position of the conveyor belt 1. When the control component detects that the smoke block is in an inclined state, the control component controls the drive component 3 to move, so that the two L-shaped connecting plates 22 act on the inclined smoke block to straighten the smoke block. This allows the slicer to cut smoke slices of the same width, thereby meeting the process quality management requirements, reducing raw material loss, and lowering production costs.

[0037] In one embodiment of the automatic correction device for smoke block deviation of this utility model, the end of the fixing plate 21 is set as an inclined surface, and the angle between the inclined surface and the limiting mounting plate 5 is equal to the angle between the second end of the guide plate 23 and the fixing plate 21.

[0038] This utility model sets the end of the fixing plate 21 as an inclined surface, and makes the angle between the inclined surface and the limiting mounting plate 5 equal to the angle between the second end of the guide plate 23 and the fixing plate 21. That is, the inclination of the guide plate 23 is the same as the inclination of the inclined surface, so that the smoke bar can be smoothly conveyed and the smoke block can be guided to the middle position of the conveyor belt 1.

[0039] In one embodiment of the automatic correction device for smoke block deviation of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a drive motor 31 and a connecting rod 32. The output shaft of the drive motor 31 is connected to the first end of the connecting rod 32, and the second end of the connecting rod 32 passes through the limiting mounting plate 5 and is connected to the fixing plate 21.

[0040] This utility model connects the output shaft of the drive motor 31 to the first end of the connecting rod 32, and the second end of the connecting rod 32 passes through the limiting mounting plate 5 and is connected to the fixing plate 21. When the control component detects that the position of the smoke block is tilted, it drives the fixing plate 21 to move through the drive motor 31. The movement of the fixing plate 21 drives the L-shaped connecting plate 22 and the guide plate 23 to move, thereby straightening the tilted smoke block.

[0041] In one embodiment of the automatic correction device for smoke block deviation of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 2As shown, in order to increase the stability of the drive motor 31, the drive assembly 3 also includes a support plate 33, which is fixed on the limiting mounting plate 5, and the drive motor 31 is fixed on the support plate 33.

[0042] In one embodiment of the automatic correction device for smoke block deviation of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 also includes a support rod 34, which is respectively disposed on both sides of the connecting rod 32. The support rod 34 passes through the limiting mounting plate 5 and is connected to the fixing plate 21.

[0043] This invention provides support rods 34 on both sides of the connecting rod 32. The support rods 34 pass through the limiting mounting plate 5 and connect to the fixing plate 21. The support rods 34 provide support and guidance for the fixing plate 21, enabling the fixing plate 21 to move in the radial direction, thereby improving the service life of the automatic correction device for smoke block deviation of this invention.

[0044] In one embodiment of the automatic correction device for smoke block deviation of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the limiting mounting plate 5 is provided with a connecting hole 6 and a mounting opening 7, the mounting opening 7 having a square structure; the connecting rod 32 passes through the connecting hole 6 and connects to the fixing plate 21, the support rod 34 passes through the mounting opening 7 and connects to the fixing plate 21, and the support rod 34 is slidably connected to the mounting opening 7.

[0045] This utility model provides a connecting hole 6 and an installation opening 7 on the limiting mounting plate 5, and connects the connecting rod 32 through the connecting hole 6 to the fixing plate 21, and the support rod 34 through the installation opening 7 to the fixing plate 21, and the support rod 34 is slidably connected to the installation opening 7, thereby enabling the connecting rod 32 and the support rod 34 to move stably.

[0046] In one embodiment of the automatic correction device for smoke block deviation of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the control component includes a photoelectric switch 4 and a controller. The controller is connected to the photoelectric switch 4 and the drive component 3 respectively. The photoelectric switch 4 is set on the side wall of the limit mounting plate 5 and is located above the connection between the guide plate 23 and the L-shaped connecting plate 22. The photoelectric switch 4 is used to detect the position of the smoke block.

[0047] Specifically, when the tobacco block is not in the middle position of conveyor belt 1, the guide plate 23 will guide the tobacco block from the middle position to the middle position of conveyor belt 1. When the tobacco block moves to the connection between the guide plate 23 and the L-shaped connecting plate 22, the photoelectric switch 4 detects that the tobacco block is tilted. The photoelectric switch 4 transmits the detection signal to the controller, and the controller controls the drive motor 31 to move, which in turn drives the fixed plate 21 to move. The movement of the fixed plate 21 drives the L-shaped connecting plate 22 and the guide plate 23 to move, thereby causing the L-shaped connecting plate 22 to act on the tilted tobacco block, thus straightening the tilted tobacco block and ensuring that the tobacco slices cut by the slicer have the same width, thereby meeting the process quality management requirements, reducing raw material loss, and lowering production costs.

[0048] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
