Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette filter rod parameter detection technology, specifically, to a device for classifying, sorting, and recycling cigarette filter rods. Background Technology

[0002] The performance parameters of cigarette filter rods usually need to be tested by testing equipment. Such testing equipment, such as comprehensive testing benches and hardness testers, have continuous testing capabilities and can achieve simultaneous testing of multiple cigarette filter rods in a batch.

[0003] Currently, there is no special structure for the recycling of testing equipment such as integrated test benches; usually, a single recycling bin is used to solve all recycling problems.

[0004] However, in testing instruments that test the hardness of cigarette filter rods at multiple points and angles, the cigarette filter rods are placed horizontally during the testing process, requiring a robotic arm to grasp them to adjust their position and change their angle, which makes it impossible to directly recycle the tested cigarette filter rods.

[0005] Based on this novel design structure, a compatible recycling device is needed to achieve automatic recycling.

[0006] At the same time, such hardness testing instruments can be used to test cigarette filter rods of various specifications, so providing recycling services for cigarette filter rods of various specifications has also become a new demand.

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technological solution. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a device for the automatic recycling and sorting of recyclable cigarette filter rods.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a device for sorting and recycling cigarette filter rods, including a detection module, a position and angle adjustment module, a guide slope, and a movable multi-container recycling module;

[0010] The detection module is used to receive and detect cigarette filter rods;

[0011] The position and angle adjustment module is used to adjust the axial placement and rotation angle of the cigarette filter rod located in the detection module;

[0012] The guide slope is positioned between the detection module and the position and angle adjustment module, and the width of the guide slope is greater than the length of the cigarette filter rod.

[0013] The multi-container recycling module includes multiple parallel and movable recycling boxes with open tops. The movement trajectory of each recycling box passes through the lower end of the guide slope to receive cigarette filter rods.

[0014] Based on the above, the guide slope is fixed together with the support of the detection module.

[0015] Based on the above, a vertical retaining edge is provided at the rear end of the guide slope.

[0016] Based on the above, the multi-container recycling module includes a linear slide rail, a slide table, and the recycling box. The recycling box is fixed to the upper end of the slide table, and the slide table moves linearly along the linear slide rail. The direction of movement of the linear slide rail is the same as the length direction of the cigarette filter rod.

[0017] Based on the above, multiple recycling boxes are fixedly connected end to end as one unit.

[0018] Based on the above, the detection module includes a platform, a bracket, and a pressure application component. The pressure application component and the platform are mounted on the bracket in a corresponding manner. The pressure application component includes a pressure lifting slide, a cantilever, a guide rod, a force sensor, a pressure head, and a distance sensor. The pressure lifting slide is mounted on the bracket, the cantilever is mounted on the moving end of the pressure lifting slide, the guide rod is supported on the cantilever, the force sensor and the pressure head are located at the bottom end of the guide rod, and the distance sensor is mounted on the bracket and is used to detect the downward pressing distance of the pressure head.

[0019] Based on the above, the upper surface of the platform is set as a plane, and a guide groove is provided on the plane to limit the horizontal movement of the cigarette filter rod.

[0020] Based on the above, the position and angle adjustment module includes a two-stage slide consisting of a translation slide and a lifting slide, a rotary drive motor installed at the moving end of the two-stage slide, and a robotic arm installed at the output end of the rotary drive motor. The robotic arm is used to clamp and fix the cigarette filter rod.

[0021] Based on the above, the robotic arm is a pneumatic chuck or an electric chuck.

[0022] This utility model has substantial features and progress compared to the prior art. Specifically, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0023] A guide ramp is set between the detection module and the position and angle adjustment module. A movable multi-container recycling module is set in the sliding area at the lower end of the guide ramp, which contains multiple recycling boxes. After the test is completed, the position and angle adjustment module clamps the cigarette filter rod above the guide ramp and releases it. After the cigarette filter rod falls, it slides down the guide ramp and enters the recycling box on the side, thus realizing the recycling of the tested cigarette filter rod.

[0024] To meet the actual needs of multi-specification testing, the number of recycling boxes is set to multiple, and different specifications of cigarette filter rods can be stored in different recycling boxes to achieve the function of sorting and organizing. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a device for sorting and recycling cigarette filter rods includes a detection module 1, a position and angle adjustment module 2, a guide slope 3, and a movable multi-container recycling module 4.

[0031] The detection module 1 is used to receive and detect cigarette filter rods 5. In this embodiment, the detection module includes a platform 11, a bracket 12, and a pressure application component 13. The pressure application component 13 and the platform 11 are mounted on the bracket 12 in a vertically corresponding manner. The pressure application component 13 includes a pressure lifting slide 131, a cantilever 132, a guide rod 133, a force sensor 134, a pressure head 135, and a distance sensor 136. The pressure lifting slide 131 is mounted on the bracket 12. The cantilever 132 is mounted on the moving end of the pressure lifting slide 131. The guide rod 133 is supported on the cantilever 132. The force sensor 134 and the pressure head 135 are located at the bottom end of the guide rod 133. The distance sensor 136 is mounted on the bracket 132 and is used to detect the downward pressing distance of the pressure head 135.

[0032] The upper surface of the platform 11 is set as a plane, and a guide groove 111 is provided on the plane. The guide groove 111 is used to limit the horizontal movement of the cigarette filter rod 5.

[0033] The position and angle adjustment module 2 is used to adjust the axial placement position and rotation angle of the cigarette filter rod 5 located in the detection module 1. In this embodiment, the position and angle adjustment module 2 includes a two-stage slide consisting of a translation slide 21 and a lifting slide 22, a rotary drive motor 23 installed at the moving end of the two-stage slide, and a manipulator 24 installed at the output end of the rotary drive motor 23. The manipulator 24 is used to clamp and fix the cigarette filter rod 5. The manipulator 24 is a pneumatic chuck or an electric chuck.

[0034] The guide slope 3 is disposed between the detection module 1 and the position and angle adjustment module 2. The width of the guide slope 3 is greater than the length of the cigarette filter rod 5. The guide slope 3 is fixed together with the bracket 12 of the detection module 1. A vertical stop 31 is provided at the rear end of the guide slope 3.

[0035] The multi-container recycling module 4 includes multiple parallel and movable recycling boxes 41 with open tops. The movement trajectory of each recycling box 41 passes through the lower end of the guide slope 3 to receive the cigarette filter rod 5.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the multi-container recycling module 4 includes a linear slide rail 42, a slide table 43, and a recycling box 41. The recycling box 41 is fixed to the upper end of the slide table 43. The slide table 43 moves linearly along the linear slide rail 42. The direction of movement of the linear slide rail 42 is the same as the length direction of the cigarette filter rod 5. Multiple recycling boxes 41 are fixedly connected end to end as a whole.

[0037] Working principle explanation:

[0038] The cigarette filter rod 5 to be tested is held by the chuck of the position and angle adjustment module 2 and sent to the guide groove 111 on the upper end face of the platform 11 in the detection module 1. After adjusting the placement position and placement angle, the chuck is released, and the pressure head 135 of the pressure application component is controlled to press down on the surface of the cigarette filter rod 5 to achieve hardness detection.

[0039] After multiple position adjustments, angle adjustments, and pressure tests to obtain sufficient data, the recovery process is initiated.

[0040] The corresponding recycling box 41 is controlled to move to the lower end of the guide slope 3. At the same time, the chuck of the position and angle adjustment module 2 grabs the cigarette filter rod 5, suspends it in the air, and moves back. When it moves above the guide slope 3, the chuck is released, and the cigarette filter rod 5 falls onto the guide slope 3 and slides along the guide slope 3 into the recycling box 41 below, completing the recycling.

[0041] When different sizes of cigarette filter rods are tested next time, another recycling box is controlled to move to the lower end of the guide slope, so as to achieve the technical effect of recycling cigarette filter rods of different sizes into different recycling boxes.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the linkage control can be implemented by determining the parameter dimensions of the cigarette filter rod to be recycled based on the detection results of the detection module 2, and then calling the corresponding numbered recycling box to achieve automatic matching.

[0043] In another embodiment, the process can also be pre-programmed by staff.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
