Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to auxiliary tools for cigarette production equipment, and more particularly to a tool for adjusting the screen spacing of a tangential feeder. Background Technology

[0002] The tangential feeder of the airflow drying machine is equipped with a screen. During use, the screen is prone to displacement, resulting in unequal gaps between the two ends of the screen and the inner wall of the feeder housing. Regular inspection and maintenance are required to adjust the position of the screen so that it is centered.

[0003] During inspection and maintenance, after adjusting the screen position, it is necessary to measure the gap between the two ends of the screen and the inner wall of the tangential feeder housing. Conventional measuring tools, such as vernier calipers, are insufficient for directly measuring this narrow gap, resulting in low measurement efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, existing gap measuring tools, such as calipers and rulers, have limited measuring ranges, making precise measurements difficult in such confined or inconvenient operating spaces. This compromises measurement accuracy and makes it difficult to ensure the adjusted screen is centered within the tangential feeder. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tool for adjusting the screen spacing of a tangential feeder, so as to achieve quick and accurate measurement of the gap between the screen and the inner wall of the tangential feeder housing.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A tool for adjusting the screen spacing of a tangential feeder includes a base plate extending left and right. The top surface of the base plate is a horizontal plane, the right end surface of the base plate is a vertical plane, and the top of the left end of the base plate is provided with an upwardly extending insertion protrusion. The left end surface of the insertion protrusion is a vertical plane, and the right end surface of the insertion protrusion is an inclined plane that slopes to the left at the top. The bottom of the left end of the base plate is provided with an inclined transition rod segment that slopes downward to the left, and the bottom of the inclined transition rod segment is provided with a handle that extends downward.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the tool for adjusting the screen spacing of the tangential feeder, the inner wall of the tangential feeder housing is provided with inner wall protrusions on the parts facing both ends of the screen. The gap between the end of the screen and the inner wall protrusion is the measurement gap. During measurement, the protrusion is inserted into the measurement gap, and the top surface of the substrate is in contact with the bottom end of the inner wall protrusion.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the tool for adjusting the screen spacing of the tangential feeder, the tool is made of stainless steel.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the tool for adjusting the screen spacing of the tangential feeder, the handle has a hanging hole at its bottom.

[0010] This invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0011] This utility model provides a tool for adjusting the screen spacing of a tangential feeder. By setting a base plate with an insertion protrusion, the bottom width of the insertion protrusion is designed as a standard gap. The tool is positioned on the inner wall of the tangential feeder housing by having the top surface of the base plate fit against the bottom end of the inner wall protrusion and the right end surface of the base plate fit against the inner wall of the tangential feeder housing. By inserting the insertion protrusion upward into the measuring gap between the end of the screen and the inner wall protrusion, the measuring gap can be measured quickly and accurately, thus ensuring the accuracy of the screen adjustment position.

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of this utility model and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes. However, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0017] See Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment discloses a tool for adjusting the screen spacing of a tangential feeder. The tool can be integrally formed from a stainless steel sheet. The tool includes a left-right extending base plate 1. The top surface of the base plate 1 is horizontal, and the right end surface is vertical. An upwardly extending insertion protrusion 2 is provided at the top left end of the base plate 1. The left end surface of the insertion protrusion 2 is vertical, and the right end surface is an inclined surface tilted to the left, facilitating insertion into the measuring gap 8. An inclined transition rod section 3 extending downwards to the left is provided at the bottom left end of the base plate 1. A downwardly extending handle 4 is provided at the bottom of the inclined transition rod section 3. The inclined transition rod section 3 facilitates extending the handle 4 away from the inner wall 6 of the tangential feeder housing, allowing the operator to hold the handle 4 for measurement operations and avoiding interference from the inner wall 6 of the tangential feeder housing. A hanging hole 5 is provided at the bottom of the handle 4, allowing the tool to be hung when not in use by passing a rope through the hanging hole 5.

[0018] The inner wall 6 of the tangential feeder housing has inner wall protrusions 7 on both ends facing the screen 9. The gap between the end of the screen 9 and the inner wall protrusions 7 is the measuring gap 8. During measurement, the insertion protrusion 2 is inserted into the measuring gap 8, the top surface of the base plate 1 is in contact with the bottom end of the inner wall protrusion 7, and the right end face of the base plate 1 is in contact with the inner wall 6 of the tangential feeder housing. When the screen 9 is in the correct position, the measuring gap 8 at both ends of the screen 9 is called the standard gap. The width of the bottom end of the insertion protrusion 2 of the tool is designed to be equal to the standard gap.

[0019] During the inspection and maintenance of the tangential feeder, after adjusting the position of the screen 9, this tool can be used to measure the measuring gap 8 between the end of the screen 9 and the inner wall protrusion 7. First, hold the handle 4 of the tool and insert the insertion protrusion 2 upwards into the measuring gap between the right end of the screen 9 and the inner wall protrusion 7. If the top surface of the base plate 1 is exactly in contact with the bottom end of the inner wall protrusion 7 and the insertion protrusion 2 cannot move left or right, it indicates that the measuring gap 8 is equal to the standard gap, and the position of the screen 9 is accurate. If the insertion protrusion 2 cannot be inserted further upwards, and there is still a gap between the top surface of the base plate 1 and the bottom end of the inner wall protrusion 7, it indicates that the measuring gap 8 is smaller than the standard gap, and the screen 9 needs to be adjusted to the left to increase the measuring gap 8. If the top surface of the base plate 1 is in contact with the bottom end of the inner wall protrusion 7 but the insertion protrusion 2 can move left or right, it indicates that the measuring gap 8 is larger than the standard gap, and the screen 9 needs to be adjusted to the right. After adjusting the position of the screen 9, use the tool to measure again until the measuring gap 8 is equal to the standard gap. In this way, the gap between the end of the screen 9 and the inner wall protrusion 7 can be measured conveniently and accurately.

[0020] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
