Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tobacco production equipment, specifically relating to a cigarette storage cabinet discharge pipe. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the frequency of tobacco brand changes on cigarette manufacturing lines is relatively high. Multiple storage tanks share a single discharge belt, which feeds the tobacco from the tanks into the feeder for the cigarette packaging workshop. These storage tanks, sharing a single discharge belt, can each contain different brands of tobacco. Only one tank can be selected for each discharge cycle. When other tanks are fed with different brands of tobacco, some tobacco can fly from the tank head onto the discharge belt, causing a quality issue of mixed brands. Furthermore, due to temporary adjustments in packaging, the current brand's storage tank may stop discharging halfway, causing tobacco to accumulate at the discharge end (tank head). If other tanks continue discharging, the vibration from the tank's start and stop can cause some of the accumulated tobacco to fall onto the discharge belt, resulting in mixed brands. Mixed brands directly alter the intrinsic quality of the tobacco, affecting the taste of the cigarette product, and are considered a major quality incident in cigarette processing enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cigarette storage cabinet discharge pipe to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0005] A cigarette storage cabinet discharge pipe includes a discharge pipe with bases on the inner walls of opposite sides at one end of the discharge pipe. A round rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of each base, and a baffle is fixedly connected to the round rod. A housing is provided on the outer wall of the front side of the discharge pipe. The front end of each round rod extends into the housing, and a first gear is provided at the front end of each round rod. Side plates are inserted into the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the housing. Two rotating rods rotate through the corresponding side plates. A second gear is provided at the outer end of each rotating rod, and the second gear cooperates with the first gear. A dual-shaft motor is provided on the bottom wall between the two side plates inside the housing. The dual output ends of the dual-shaft motor are fixedly connected to the inner ends of the two rotating rods through couplings.

[0006] Furthermore, a first bearing is provided where each round rod passes through the inner wall.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer ring of the first bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base through the bearing seat, and the inner ring of the first bearing is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the round rod.

[0008] Furthermore, a second bearing is provided where each rotating rod passes through the side plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer ring of the second bearing is fixedly connected to the side plate via a bearing housing, and the inner ring of the second bearing is interference-fitted with the outer wall of the rotating rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a triangular apex is provided on the top wall of the base.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second gears are bevel gears and are meshed together.

[0012] Furthermore, when the two baffles are in a position perpendicular to the axial centerline of the discharge pipe, they block the inner cavity of the discharge pipe.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention utilizes a dual-axis motor-driven rotating rod and gear system to precisely control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe, effectively preventing stems from falling into the discharge belt due to vibrations during the start and stop of the storage tank, thus avoiding the mixing of different brands. Because this invention ensures the purity of the stems and avoids the mixing of stems from different brands, it guarantees the intrinsic quality of the cigarette product and improves the consistency of the cigarette's flavor.

[0015] The design of this utility model simplifies the management of stems at the discharge end of the storage tank, reduces the need for manual intervention, and improves production efficiency. Through mechanized control, this utility model enhances the automation level of the cigarette production line and reduces the labor intensity of operators.

[0016] This invention is applicable to storage tanks for various brands of stems, and can flexibly cope with frequent changes in production brands, thus improving the adaptability of the equipment. By effectively preventing the mixing of brands, this invention reduces the waste of raw materials and production losses caused by mixing brands, thereby reducing the production costs of enterprises. It also improves product quality and reduces quality accidents. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] See Figure 1-4 As shown, a cigarette storage cabinet discharge pipe includes a discharge pipe 1. Bases 2 are provided on the inner walls of both the front and rear sides of the discharge pipe 1. A round rod 5 is rotatably connected to the inner walls of the front and rear bases 2 via a first bearing 4. A baffle 6 is interference-fitted to the outer wall of the round rod 5. A housing 7 is provided on the front side wall of the discharge pipe 1. The front end of the round rod 5 extends into the housing 7 and is provided with a first gear 8. Side plates 9 are inserted into the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the housing 7. A rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the inner end wall between the side plates 9 via a second bearing 10. The outer end of the rotating rod 11 penetrates the side plate 9 and is provided with a second gear 12. A dual-shaft motor 13 is provided in the middle of the inner bottom wall of the housing 7. The dual output ends of the dual-shaft motor 13 are fixedly connected to the inner end of the rotating rod 11 via a coupling.

[0026] In this application, a triangular top seat 3 is provided on the top wall of the base 2.

[0027] In this application, the outer ring of the first bearing 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 2 through the bearing seat, and the inner ring of the first bearing 4 is interference-fitted to the outer wall of the round rod 5.

[0028] In this application, the outer ring of the second bearing is fixedly connected to the side plate through the bearing housing, and the inner ring of the second bearing is interference-fitted to the outer wall of the rotating rod.

[0029] In this application, both the first gear 8 and the second gear 12 are bevel gears and are meshed with each other.

[0030] For those skilled in the art, all electrical components and parts in this case are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0032] In use, the dual-axis motor 13 starts and drives the rotating rod 11 to rotate the second gear 12. The second gear 12 causes the first gear 8 to rotate the round rod 5 and the baffle 6 through the first bearing 4. The two baffles 6 rotate inward and merge upward until they merge into a flat plate, which closes the channel of the discharge pipe 1 and is used to receive the skeins falling from the head of the storage tank, preventing them from falling onto the discharge belt below and causing mixing. The dual-axis motor 13 is started in reverse, causing the rotating rod 11 to drive the second gear 12 to rotate in the opposite direction. The second gear 12 causes the first gear 8 to rotate the round rod 5 and the baffle 6 to move downward, so that the two baffles 6 move downward and open, and the skeins in the storage tank can be discharged normally through the discharge pipe 1.

[0033] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, nor is the present utility model limited to the examples given above.
