[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer, the embodiments of the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0034] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiments of the utility model provide a material conveying device for conveying tobacco material to a tobacco production device 7, comprising: a first column 1, a second column 2, a crossbeam 3, a conveying mechanism 4 and a tray 5.
[0035] Specifically, the second column 2 is arranged in a spaced manner with the first column 1 along a first direction (such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 X direction) shown in the drawings.
[0036] The crossbeam 3 is arranged between the first column 1 and the second column 2, the first end of the crossbeam 3 is connected with the first column 1, the second end of the crossbeam 3 is connected with the second column 2, the extension direction of the crossbeam 3 forms an angle with the horizontal direction, and the height of the first end of the crossbeam 3 is greater than the height of the second end of the crossbeam 3.
[0037] The conveying mechanism 4 comprises a first fixed pulley 41, a second fixed pulley 42, a pulley seat 43, a movable pulley 44 and a rope 45, the first fixed pulley 41 is rotatably arranged on the first column 1, the second fixed pulley 42 is rotatably arranged on the second column 2, the pulley seat 43 is arranged on the crossbeam 3 and can slide along the extension direction of the crossbeam 3, the movable pulley 44 is rotatably arranged on the pulley seat 43, the first end of the rope 45 is fixed on the first column 1, and the second end of the rope 45 is sequentially wound around the movable pulley 44, the first fixed pulley 41 and the second fixed pulley 42; when the second end of the rope 45 is pulled or loosened, the movable pulley 44 and the pulley seat 43 can slide along the extension direction of the crossbeam 3.
[0038] The tray 5 is hung below the pulley seat 43, and the tray 5 is used for receiving tobacco material.
[0039] In some embodiments, a fixing part 23 is provided on the side of the second column 2 away from the first column 1, and the second end of the rope 45 can be tied to the fixing part 23 to restrict the sliding of the pulley seat 43.
[0040] Specifically, when no tobacco material needs to be added to the tobacco production equipment 7, the tray 5 will slide downwards along the crossbeam 3 under the action of gravity to its initial position (i.e., the position near the second column 2, such as...). Figure 1 As shown), the tray 5 is prepared for loading tobacco materials. When tobacco materials need to be added to the tobacco production equipment 7, the operator first moves the plastic bag containing the tobacco materials onto the tray 5, and then pulls the second end of the rope 45. At this time, the rope 45 will provide an upward pulling force along the crossbeam 3 to the pulley seat 43 and the movable pulley 44, so that the pulley seat 43 and the tray 5 slide towards the first column 1. When the tray 5 containing the tobacco materials slides above the tobacco production equipment 7 (as shown), the operator will then proceed to load the tobacco materials. Figure 2 As shown, the operator ties the second end of rope 45 to the fixing part 23 of the second column 2 to fix the position of tray 5. Then, the operator uses a knife to cut open the plastic bag, causing the tobacco material inside the plastic bag to fall onto the tobacco production equipment 7. After the current package of tobacco material has fallen, the operator releases the second end of rope 45 from the fixing part 23. Under the action of gravity, tray 5 slides back to the starting position. The above material transport steps are repeated to continue transporting the next package of tobacco material until all the tobacco material required for production has been transported.
[0041] Using the above technical solution, the operator can move the plastic bag containing tobacco material onto the tray 5 when the tray 5 slides to a lower starting position, and then move the tray 5 to the upper part of the tobacco production equipment 7 by pulling the rope 45. Compared with the prior art where multiple operators work together to lift the material to the upper part of the tobacco production equipment 7, this application reduces the difficulty of handling the tobacco material, thereby reducing labor intensity and working time. In addition, the tobacco material transported to the upper part of the tobacco production equipment 7 in this application is in a suspended state, and the operator can cut the plastic bag to allow the tobacco material to fall freely onto the tobacco production equipment 7. Compared with the prior art where the operator stands on the tobacco production equipment 7 to cut the plastic bag and then pour out the tobacco material, this application can further reduce labor intensity and working time.
[0042] Furthermore, the first end of the crossbeam 3 is detachably connected to the first column 1, and the second end of the crossbeam 3 is detachably connected to the second column 2. The connection position can be changed, so that the height and tilt angle of the crossbeam 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the connection position.
[0043] This application does not limit the structure of the detachable connection between the crossbeam 3 and the first column 1 and the second column 2. In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first column 1 is provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 11 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and one end of the crossbeam 3 is connected to one of the first connecting holes 11 by a bolt 12. The second column 2 is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes 21 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and the other end of the crossbeam 3 is connected to one of the second connecting holes 21 by a bolt 12.
[0044] In other embodiments, the first column 1 is provided with a plurality of groups of first threaded holes arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and one end of the crossbeam 3 is connected to one of the groups of first threaded holes by a bolt. The second column 2 is provided with a plurality of groups of second threaded holes arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and the other end of the crossbeam 3 is connected to one of the groups of second threaded holes by a bolt.
[0045] With the above technical solutions, the operator can select a suitable detachable connection mode according to the actual use. The connection mode includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned mode, so as to facilitate the operator to adjust the inclination angle of the crossbeam relative to the X direction and the height from the ground, thereby being suitable for conveying tobacco materials to various tobacco production equipment 7.
[0046] Further, referring to Figure 3 , the pulley seat 43 includes a rotating shaft 431 and two blocking pieces 432.
[0047] The rotating shaft 431 extends along the width direction of the crossbeam 3, the movable pulley 44 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 431, the rotating shaft 431 is arranged above the crossbeam 3, and the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 431 is in contact with the upper surface of the crossbeam 3.
[0048] The two blocking pieces 432 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the rotating shaft 431, one of the blocking pieces 432 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 431, and the other blocking piece 432 is detachably connected with the rotating shaft 431, the area of the blocking piece 432 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the rotating shaft 431; along the width direction of the crossbeam 3, the two blocking pieces 432 are respectively located at the two sides of the crossbeam 3, so as to limit the sliding of the rotating shaft 431 along the width direction of the crossbeam 3.
[0049] The utility model discloses a material conveying device through setting pulley seat 43 on the upper portion of crossbeam 3, the rotation axis 431 of pulley seat 43 is contacted with the upper surface of crossbeam 3, and along the extension direction of crossbeam 3 sliding, to drive the sliding of the movable pulley 44 of the rotation axis 431. When the rotation axis 431 slides along the extension direction of crossbeam 3, the rotation axis 431 is easy to produce position deviation along the width direction of crossbeam 3 in the sliding process due to the uneven distribution of tobacco material on the tray 5 and the like, by setting a baffle 432 at both ends of the rotation axis 431 respectively, the rotation axis 431 can be limited to move along the width direction of crossbeam 3. Exemplarily, one end of the rotation axis 431 is fixedly connected with one of the baffles 432, and the other end of the rotation axis 431 is detachably connected with the other baffle 432, which is convenient for dismounting after the wear of the rotation axis 431 and the movable pulley 44.
[0050] Further, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the crossbeam 3 is provided with a through groove 31 penetrating through the upper surface and the lower surface thereof, the through groove 31 extends along the extension direction of the crossbeam 3, the lower portion of the pulley seat 43 is provided with a hook 6, the hook 6 extends into the lower portion of the through groove 31 through the through groove 31, and the hook 6 is used for hanging the tray 5. Specifically, the through groove 31 penetrating through the upper surface and the lower surface of the crossbeam 3 is arranged on the crossbeam 3, so that the hook arranged below the pulley seat can pass through the through groove 31 to the lower portion of the through groove, the hook 6 is convenient for hanging the tray 5, and thus the pulley seat 43 drives the tray 5 to slide along the extension direction of the crossbeam 3.
[0051] In some embodiments, the tray 5 can be directly hung on the hook 6 below the pulley seat 43, or the tray 5 and the hook 6 on the pulley seat 43 can be soft-connected through a rope.
[0052] Further, the bottom of the second column 2 is provided with a roller 22, and the roller 22 is used for driving the second column 2 to slide along the X direction.
[0053] In some embodiments, the roller 22 is provided with a brake (not shown in the figure), and the brake is used for limiting the rotation of the roller 22. The operator can adjust the inclination angle of the crossbeam 3 according to the actual use. After the inclination angle of the crossbeam 3 relative to the X direction is adjusted, the position of the second column 2 along the X direction may change. The application can conveniently move the second column 2 by arranging the roller 22 below the second column 2. When the second column 2 moves to a suitable position, that is, the position where the second column 2 can be connected with the second end of the crossbeam 3, the brake can be stepped on to limit the rotation of the roller 22, thereby improving the stability of the material conveying device.
[0054] Further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the two ends of the cross beam 3 are respectively provided with a stop block 32 protruding from the outer surface of the cross beam 3, so as to block the pulley seat 43 from colliding with the first column 1 and the second column 2. Specifically, when the movable pulley 44 and the pulley seat 43 slide along the extension direction of the cross beam 3, the stop block 32 can block the movable pulley 44 and the pulley seat 43 from colliding with the first column 1 and the second column 2, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the movable pulley 44 and the pulley seat 43. Exemplarily, the outer surface of the stop block 32 can be equipped with a buffer made of rubber or the like, so as to reduce the deformation and wear of the movable pulley 44 and the pulley seat 43 after colliding with the stop block 32.
[0055] It should be noted that the relational terms herein such as first and second and the like are used solely to distinguish one from another entity or action, without necessarily requiring or implying any actual relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
