Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco shred detection technology, specifically relating to a tobacco shred filling value detection device. Background Technology

[0002] A tobacco filling tester is a specialized instrument used to test the filling capacity of various tobacco products, including leaf tobacco, expanded leaf tobacco, sheet tobacco, stem tobacco, expanded stem tobacco, and finished blended tobacco. Its working principle involves placing the sample to be tested into a measuring container, applying pressure to the sample, and then using the amount of deformation to reflect its filling value. Correspondingly, there are various industry standards to regulate the requirements for filling value measurement, such as YC / T152-2001 (Determination of Filling Value of Cigarette Tobacco), YC / T163-2003 (Determination of Filling Value of Expanded Stem Tobacco), JJG(Tobacco)25-2010 (Verification Procedure for Tobacco Filling Value Tester), and JJG(Tobacco)26-2010 (Verification Procedure for Expanded Stem Tobacco Filling Value Tester), etc.

[0003] Currently, the detection of tobacco filling value in the tobacco production process is still in the offline testing stage: operators take samples on-site, then transfer the samples to the laboratory, quantitatively measure the sample into a measuring cup (weighing approximately 10g), and then place it into the filling value detector. The data is then obtained and manually recorded by the operator. This manual offline testing mode is greatly affected by differences in operator operation, has a low testing frequency, insufficient sample representativeness, consumes a large amount of human resources, and is difficult to ensure ideal testing results.

[0029] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model and the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort. Furthermore, the design orientation only indicates the relative positional relationship between the components, not the absolute positional relationship.

[0030] This utility model embodiment provides a tobacco filling value detection device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 It mainly includes a frame 2, a tobacco filling measuring instrument 3, a moving component 4, a measuring cup 5, and a cleaning component 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, the entire tobacco filling value detection device is arranged around the tobacco conveyor line. The device includes a frame 2, a detection space 1 on the frame 2, and a tobacco filling measuring instrument 3 arranged within the detection space 1. A moving component 4 and a cleaning component 6 are mounted on the frame 2. A measuring cup 5 is mounted on the moving component 4, which can move the measuring cup 5. When the tobacco filling value needs to be detected, the moving component 4 first moves the measuring cup 5 to the tobacco conveyor line, guiding the tobacco from the conveyor line into the measuring cup 5. Then, the moving component 4 moves the measuring cup 5 containing the tobacco to the tobacco filling measuring instrument 3 for filling value detection. Finally, the moving component 4 moves the measuring cup 5 to the position of the cleaning component 6, which removes the tobacco from the measuring cup 5, allowing for the next tobacco filling value detection. Compared to existing technologies, where operators collect samples on-site, transfer them to the laboratory, quantitatively measure the sample into measuring cup 5 (weighing approximately 10g), place it into the filling value detector, and then manually record the measurement results, this application achieves the entire tobacco filling value detection process by moving measuring cup 5 using moving component 4. This avoids differences caused by varying operator techniques and changes in tobacco state during sample transfer to the laboratory, improving detection accuracy and reducing labor intensity.

[0032] In one possible implementation, a weighing element 7 is provided on the moving component 4. The weighing element 7 is rotatably connected to the moving component 4. When the moving component 4 obtains a measuring cup 5 containing tobacco from the tobacco conveyor line, the weighing element 7 comes into contact with the measuring cup 5 to weigh the tobacco. If the weight of the tobacco does not meet the detection standard, the current tobacco filling value is not recorded, so as to improve the accuracy of subsequent tobacco filling value detection.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the movable component 4 includes a rotating seat 41, a receiving seat 42, and a plurality of robotic arms 43 arranged between the rotating seat 41 and the receiving seat 42. The rotating seat 41 is rotatably connected to the frame 2, and the plurality of robotic arms 43 are rotatably connected to each other. The rotating seat 41 is rotatably connected to the frame 2, the rotating seat 41 is rotatably connected to the robotic arms 43, and the receiving seat 42 is rotatably connected to the robotic arms 43. The weighing component 7 and the gripper 44 are both arranged on the receiving seat 42, and the gripper 44 is used to grip the measuring cup 5.

[0034] Furthermore, the weighing stand includes a weighing sensor 71, a transition block 72, and a turntable 73. One end of the transition block 72 is connected to the weighing sensor 71, and the other end is connected to the turntable 73. The turntable 73 is rotatably connected to the receiving seat 42. When the robotic arm 43 moves the measuring cup 5 to grab tobacco, the turntable 73 rotates, thereby causing the weighing sensor 71 to rotate around the turntable 73 as the center, so that the detection surface of the weighing sensor 71 faces downward, thus preventing the tobacco from adhering to the weighing sensor 71. When it is necessary to weigh the tobacco in the measuring cup 5, the turntable 73 rotates, causing the weighing sensor 71 to move directly below the measuring cup 5 to measure the weight of the tobacco in the measuring cup 5.

[0035] Preferably, the moving component 4 also includes an abutment screw 45, which is screwed to the transition block 72. When the turntable 73 rotates and drives the weighing sensor 71 to abut against the measuring cup 5, the abutment screw 45 will also abut against the receiving seat 42 under the drive of the turntable 73. The abutment screw 45 is used to prevent the weighing sensor 71 from moving due to inertia during rotation and colliding with the measuring cup 5, so as to ensure the accuracy of the weighing sensor 71 when detecting weight.

[0036] Specifically, the gripper 44 includes a slide rail 441 arranged on the receiving seat 42, two sliders 442 arranged on the slide rail 441, and a gripping plate 443 arranged on each of the two sliders 442. The two sliders 442 move towards each other, thereby driving the two gripping plates 443 to come into contact with the measuring cup 5, so that the gripping plates 443 grip the measuring cup 5.

[0037] Furthermore, the gripper 443 is provided with multiple limiting blocks 444, and the measuring cup 5 is provided with multiple limiting holes 445. When the gripper 44 abuts against the measuring cup 5, the limiting blocks 444 are embedded in the limiting holes 445 to ensure that the measuring cup 5 does not shake during the gripping process, thereby improving the stability of the measuring cup 5 during the movement process.

[0038] In one embodiment, the cleaning assembly 6 includes a cleaning rod 61. One end of the cleaning rod 61 is connected to the frame 2, and the other end is used to remove tobacco shreds from the measuring cup 5. When the moving assembly 4 moves the measuring cup 5 to the position where the cleaning rod 61 is positioned, the cleaning rod 61 abuts against the inner wall of the measuring cup 5. Then, the moving assembly 4 drives the measuring cup 5 to move, causing relative movement between the cleaning rod 61 and the inner wall of the measuring cup 5, thereby removing the tobacco shreds from the inner wall of the measuring cup 5, thus enabling the next detection of the tobacco filling value. By removing the tobacco shreds from the measuring cup 5 using the cleaning rod 61, the accuracy of the next tobacco filling value detection is improved.

[0039] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly 6 also includes multiple blowing units 62 arranged around the cleaning rod 61. The blowing units 62 blow air towards the measuring cup 5 to further remove tobacco shreds from the inner wall of the measuring cup 5, thereby improving the accuracy of the next tobacco filling value detection. Simultaneously, multiple blowing units 62 are added to the moving path of the moving assembly 4, which moves the measuring cup 5 containing tobacco shreds to the tobacco filling measuring instrument 3, to remove tobacco shreds adhering to the measuring cup 5 and the moving assembly 4, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent tobacco filling value detection.

[0040] Specifically, the blowing unit 62 can be a blower valve, duct, or other blowing equipment.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the frame 2 is also provided with multiple casters 21 and multiple support plates. The support plates are used to increase the contact area between the entire device and the ground when the casters 21 are not rotating, so as to prevent the entire detection device from moving during the detection process and improve the stability of the entire detection process.
