Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of conveyor equipment technology, and in particular to a belt conveyor for tobacco processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco industry, belt conveyors are mainly used to transport materials such as leaves, shredded leaves, tobacco shreds, stems, and tobacco stalks during cigarette processing. They have a wide range of applications and play an important role in connecting upstream and downstream processes and linking materials with the main machine.

[0003] A search revealed that patent document CN216470568U discloses a material equalization device for a tobacco belt conveyor. The device includes a cover over the discharge end of the upper belt conveyor and at least one guide plate disposed within the cover. The guide plate faces the discharge end of the belt conveyor, and its width is less than the width of the material on the belt conveyor. The cover is equipped with an angle adjustment device for rotating the guide plate vertically, which is aligned with the direction of movement of the belt conveyor. This device disperses the material falling from the upper belt conveyor into multiple streams, resulting in more uniform material distribution and preventing any impact on subsequent tobacco processing steps.

[0004] In practical use, it has been found that when existing conveyors transport tobacco shreds, a small amount of tobacco shreds adheres to the conveyor belt, which can easily cause the tobacco shreds to fall into the tobacco shred conveyor frame, making them difficult to collect and clean, and thus leading to tobacco shred waste. Therefore, we have proposed a belt conveyor for tobacco shred processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] See Figures 1-4 This application provides a belt conveyor for tobacco processing, including a tobacco conveyor frame 1, a conveying mechanism inside the tobacco conveyor frame 1, a function box 2 fixedly installed on the right side of the tobacco conveyor frame 1, a motor 3 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the right side of the function box 2, and a cleaning mechanism between the function box 2 and the tobacco conveyor frame 1; the same bottom box 5 is fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the tobacco conveyor frame 1, a first opening is opened at the top of the bottom box 5, the same support plate 6 is slidably installed on the inner walls of both sides of the bottom box 5, a collection mechanism is provided on the support plate 6, a sensing mechanism is provided between the bottom box 5 and the support plate 6, and a second opening is opened on the front side of the bottom box 5.

[0033] Specifically, the conveying mechanism includes two conveying rollers 101 and a conveyor belt 102. Two conveying rollers 101 are installed inside the tobacco conveyor frame 1. The conveying rollers 101 are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the tobacco conveyor frame 1. The output shaft of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to one of the conveying rollers 101. The same conveyor belt 102 is driven on the two conveying rollers 101.

[0034] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism includes a rotating shaft 4, a brush roller 401, and a brush 402. The same rotating shaft 4 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the right side of the function box 2 and the inner wall of the left side of the tobacco conveyor frame 1. The rotating shaft 4 is located below the motor 3. The same brush roller 401 is rotatably installed on the inner walls of both sides of the tobacco conveyor frame 1. The brush roller 401 is located below the conveying roller 101. A brush 402 is provided on the brush roller 401. The left end of the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the brush roller 401. A transmission mechanism is provided between the rotating shaft 4 and the motor 3.

[0035] Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes two transmission wheels 301 and a transmission belt 302. The transmission wheels 301 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 4 and the output shaft of the motor 3, and the same transmission belt 302 is sleeved on the two transmission wheels 301.

[0036] Specifically, the collection mechanism includes a drawer 501 and a handle 502. The drawer 501 is located above the support plate 6, and the handle 502 is located on the front side of the drawer 501. The drawer 501 is adapted to the second opening.

[0037] Specifically, the sensing mechanism includes multiple springs 601 and pressure sensors 602. Multiple springs 601 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the support plate 6. The bottom end of the springs 601 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the bottom box 5. Pressure sensors 602 are provided on the bottom inner wall of the bottom box 5. The pressure sensors 602 are located between two corresponding springs 601. The support plate 6 is adapted to the pressure sensors 602.

[0038] Specifically, a controller 7 is installed on the front side of the function box 2, and an alarm 8 is installed on the top of the function box 2. The pressure sensor 602, the alarm 8 and the controller 7 are electrically connected.

[0039] Specifically, two baffles 9 are provided on the top of the tobacco conveyor frame 1, and the two baffles 9 are located on both sides of the conveyor belt 102.

[0040] In this application, during operation, the motor 3 is started first, and the rotation of its output shaft drives the conveyor roller 101 fixed thereto to start rotating. Since the two conveyor rollers 101 are connected by the conveyor belt 102, the other conveyor roller 101 also rotates under the action of friction, so that the conveyor belt 102 can stably circulate within the tobacco conveyor frame 1, and can achieve the purpose of conveying the tobacco placed on the conveyor belt 102 according to the set direction and speed.

[0041] When the motor 3 is running, the power is transmitted to the rotating shaft 4 by means of the transmission mechanism, namely the transmission wheel 301 fixed on the output shaft and the rotating shaft 4 of the motor 3 and the transmission belt 302 sleeved between them. The rotating shaft 4 rotates and drives the brush roller 401 to rotate. The brush 402 on the brush roller 401 is in close contact with the conveyor belt 102 located below the conveyor roller 101. As the conveyor belt 102 runs, the brush 402 can effectively clean the tobacco shreds adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 102, which can achieve the purpose of preventing the tobacco shreds from being carried into the tobacco conveyor frame 1 and making it difficult to clean.

[0042] The swept tobacco shreds fall from the conveyor belt 102 and into the drawer 501 through the first opening at the top of the bottom box 5. As the tobacco shreds accumulate, the weight borne by the support plate 6 increases. Under gravity, the support plate 6 gradually compresses the spring 601. When the compression of the spring 601 reaches a certain level, causing the pressure exerted by the support plate 6 on the pressure sensor 602 to exceed the preset threshold of the pressure sensor 602, the pressure sensor 602 immediately transmits a pressure signal to the controller 7. Upon receiving the signal, the controller 7 quickly activates the alarm 8 to notify the staff to handle the situation. After receiving the alarm, the staff can pull the set... By using the handle 502 on the front side of drawer 501, drawer 501 can be smoothly pulled out from the second opening on the front side of the base box 5. The collected tobacco in drawer 501 can be cleaned, achieving the purpose of recycling tobacco and thus avoiding tobacco waste. After the processing is completed, drawer 501 can be pushed back into the base box 5 so that the equipment can continue to operate normally. At the same time, the two baffles 9 installed on the top of the tobacco conveyor frame 1 are located on both sides of the conveyor belt 102, which can effectively prevent tobacco from slipping off the edge of the conveyor belt 102 during the conveying process, ensuring that the tobacco is stably transported within the specified conveying range, improving the accuracy and reliability of the conveying process, and reducing tobacco waste and pollution to the working environment.
