Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette machine technology, and in particular to a self-cleaning device for the air chamber. Background Technology

[0002] Impurities are generated in the air chamber of a cigarette rolling machine during long-term operation. These impurities can affect the operating efficiency of the air chamber and the entire cigarette rolling machine, and can also cause quality problems such as empty cigarette ends, cigarettes that are too light or too heavy, thus affecting the quality of the cigarettes. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the impurities by manual cleaning.

[0003] However, due to the use of manual cleaning methods, it is easy to leave some corners inside the air chamber uncleaned, resulting in insufficient cleaning and affecting the operating efficiency of the air chamber and the entire cigarette machine. It can also lead to quality problems such as empty cigarette ends and cigarettes that are too light or too heavy. At the same time, manual cleaning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low cleaning efficiency of impurities inside the air chamber.

[0004] To address the above problems, there is an urgent need for a self-cleaning device for air chambers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-cleaning device for a wind chamber, which can automatically clean impurities inside the wind chamber to ensure that the cleanliness of the wind chamber meets the requirements. The automatic cleaning method is time-saving and labor-saving, and can ensure high cleaning efficiency of impurities inside the wind chamber.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A self-cleaning device for the air chamber body includes:

[0008] Support, used for installation onto the air chamber body;

[0009] The outer cylinder is installed on the support;

[0010] A telescopic jet is telescopically mounted within the outer cylinder along the Z-axis, allowing it to have an open position and a closed position. When the telescopic jet is in the open position, it injects positive pressure gas into the air chamber to expel impurities from the air chamber. When the telescopic jet is in the closed position, it stops injecting positive pressure gas into the air chamber, with the Z-axis parallel to the axial direction of the outer cylinder.

[0011] As an optional feature, the telescopic jet component includes:

[0012] An elastic element extends along the Z-axis and is positioned within the outer cylinder.

[0013] The jet head has its bottom end abutting against the top end of the elastic member, and the top end of the jet head extends upward along the Z-axis through the outer cylinder.

[0014] As an optional solution, the portion of the jet head extending upward along the Z-axis through the outer cylinder abuts against the air chamber, so that the movement of the air chamber can trigger the telescopic jet component to switch between the open position and the closed position.

[0015] As an optional solution, a seal is provided between the portion of the jet head located inside the outer cylinder and the outer cylinder.

[0016] As an optional solution, at least three seals are provided, and each seal is arranged at intervals along the Z-axis.

[0017] As an optional solution, the self-cleaning device for the air chamber further includes:

[0018] A locking element is provided for inserting radially into the outer cylinder and the jet head when the telescopic jet is in the open position.

[0019] As an optional solution, the self-cleaning device for the air chamber further includes:

[0020] A throttle valve is vertically installed on the outer cylinder, and the outlet of the throttle valve is located inside the air chamber. When the telescopic jet component is in the open position, the inlet of the throttle valve is aligned with the outlet of the jet head; when the telescopic jet component is in the closed position, the inlet of the throttle valve is offset from the outlet of the jet head.

[0021] As an optional solution, the support includes:

[0022] A first plate and a second plate are perpendicularly connected to form an L-shaped support. At least a portion of the outer cylinder is placed within the L-shaped structure, and the outer cylinder is connected to the first plate and the second plate respectively.

[0023] As an option, the mounting position of the first plate and / or the second plate in the air chamber body is adjustable.

[0024] As an optional solution, the first plate and the second plate are integrally formed.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] By installing a support onto the air chamber, the outer cylinder is mounted on the support, and the telescopic jet nozzle is telescopically mounted within the outer cylinder along the Z-axis, allowing the telescopic jet nozzle to have open and closed positions. When the telescopic jet nozzle is in the open position, it injects positive pressure gas into the air chamber, causing impurities to be blown out, thus removing impurities from the air chamber. When the telescopic jet nozzle is in the closed position, it stops injecting positive pressure gas into the air chamber, ensuring that the telescopic jet nozzle does not affect the normal performance of the air chamber. The aforementioned self-cleaning device installed in the air chamber automatically cleans impurities within the air chamber, ensuring thorough cleaning of all corners and edges, resulting in a better cleaning effect and meeting the required cleanliness level. This, in turn, ensures the operational efficiency of the air chamber and the entire cigarette machine, preventing issues such as empty cigarette ends or cigarettes that are too light or too heavy. Furthermore, the automatic cleaning method saves time and labor, ensuring high cleaning efficiency for impurities within the air chamber. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Any feature disclosed in this specification, unless specifically stated otherwise, may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features. Throughout this specification, the same reference numerals indicate the same elements.

[0038] To make the technical problem solved by this utility model, the technical solution adopted, and the technical effect achieved clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] This embodiment proposes a self-cleaning device for the air chamber body. This self-cleaning device can automatically clean impurities inside the air chamber body to ensure that the cleanliness of the air chamber body meets the requirements, thereby ensuring the operating efficiency of the air chamber body and the entire cigarette machine, and ensuring the stability of cigarette quality. At the same time, the automatic cleaning using this self-cleaning device for the air chamber body makes the cleaning operation time-saving and labor-saving, thus ensuring a high cleaning efficiency for impurities inside the air chamber body.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the self-cleaning device for the air chamber includes a support 1, an outer cylinder 2, and a telescopic jet 3. The support 1 is installed into the air chamber; the outer cylinder 2 is installed on the support 1; the telescopic jet 3 is telescopically installed within the outer cylinder 2 along the Z-axis, allowing it to have an open and a closed position. When the telescopic jet 3 is in the open position, it injects positive pressure gas into the air chamber to blow out impurities. When the telescopic jet 3 is in the closed position, it stops injecting positive pressure gas into the air chamber. The Z-axis is parallel to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 2. The positive pressure gas can be air or other gases with a certain positive pressure value; the specific type and actual positive pressure value of the positive pressure gas are not limited here.

[0041] By installing the support 1 to the air chamber body, the outer cylinder 2 is installed on the support 1, and the telescopic jet 3 is telescopically installed inside the outer cylinder 2 along the Z-axis, allowing the telescopic jet 3 to have an open position and a closed position. When the telescopic jet 3 is in the open position, it injects positive pressure gas into the air chamber body, causing the positive pressure gas to blow out impurities within the air chamber body, thereby removing impurities from the air chamber body. When the telescopic jet 3 is in the closed position, it stops injecting positive pressure gas into the air chamber body, ensuring that the telescopic jet 3 does not affect the normal performance of the air chamber body. The air chamber body is provided with an outlet, allowing the positive pressure gas to blow impurities from the air chamber body out of the air chamber body through the outlet, thus achieving impurity removal.

[0042] The self-cleaning device for the air chamber in this embodiment changes the cleaning method compared to existing technologies. By installing a self-cleaning device in the air chamber, impurities inside the air chamber can be automatically cleaned, ensuring thorough cleaning of all corners and edges, resulting in better cleaning effects and ensuring the cleanliness of the air chamber meets requirements. This, in turn, ensures the operational efficiency of the air chamber and the entire cigarette machine, and prevents quality issues such as empty cigarette ends or cigarettes that are too light or too heavy. Furthermore, the automatic cleaning method saves time and labor, ensuring high cleaning efficiency for impurities inside the air chamber. Using the self-cleaning device for the air chamber in this embodiment can reduce the rate of empty cigarette ends by 10% and the rate of cigarettes that are too light or too heavy by 20%, thus significantly improving cigarette quality.

[0043] Specifically, the support 1 can be installed either outside or inside the air chamber. No specific limitation is made, as long as it ensures that the telescopic jet 3 injects positive pressure gas into the area inside the air chamber where impurities need to be removed. In this embodiment, the support 1 is specifically installed outside the air chamber to avoid affecting the original structural layout inside the air chamber. The actual installation position of the support 1 outside the air chamber is not specifically limited and needs to be determined based on the structural layout of the air chamber itself and the specific impurity removal requirements.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the telescopic jet component 3 includes an elastic element 31 and a jet head 32. The elastic element 31 extends along the Z-axis and is positioned within the outer cylinder 2. The bottom end of the jet head 32 abuts against the top end of the elastic element 31, and the top end of the jet head 32 extends upwards through the outer cylinder 2 along the Z-axis, allowing the jet head 32 to extend and retract along the Z-axis under the elastic force of the elastic element 31, thus switching the jet head 32 between an open and closed position. In this embodiment, the elastic element 31 can specifically be a spring.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the part of the jet head 32 that extends upward along the Z-axis through the outer cylinder 2 abuts against the air chamber, so that the movement of the air chamber can trigger the telescopic jet member 3 to switch between the open and closed positions. That is, when the air chamber is opened or raised, the air chamber can release the pressure on the jet head 32, so that the jet head 32 moves upward along the Z-axis under the elastic force of the elastic member 31, thereby moving the jet head 32 to the open position, so as to inject positive pressure gas into the air chamber. When the air chamber is closed or lowered, the air chamber can press the jet head 32 downward along the Z-axis, so that the jet head 32 compresses the elastic member 31 downward along the Z-axis, so that the jet head 32 can move downward along the Z-axis to the closed position, thereby stopping the injection of positive pressure gas into the air chamber.

[0046] By triggering the movement of the air chamber to switch the telescopic jet 3 between the open and closed positions, the operation of opening and closing the telescopic jet 3 is simple and convenient. No additional triggering structure is needed to trigger the opening and closing of the telescopic jet 3, making the entire self-cleaning device for the air chamber simple and compact in structure, occupying a small area, so as to better adapt to the limited space inside and outside the air chamber and maximize the utilization of resources.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a sealing element 6 is provided between the portion of the jet head 32 located inside the outer cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 2. This sealing element 6 ensures a seal between the jet head 32 and the outer cylinder 2, guaranteeing that the positive pressure gas ejected from the jet head 32 can only flow into the air chamber and will not overflow from the gap between the jet head 32 and the outer cylinder 2. This ensures a consistent flow rate of positive pressure gas into the air chamber, resulting in better cleaning of impurities within the air chamber. In this embodiment, the sealing element 6 can specifically be an O-ring.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, at least three seals 6 are provided, and each seal 6 is arranged at intervals along the Z-axis, so that the sealing effect between the jet head 32 and the outer cylinder 2 can be guaranteed simultaneously through multiple seals 6, thereby better preventing the ejected positive pressure gas from overflowing from the gap between the jet head 32 and the outer cylinder 2. In this embodiment, the number of seals 6 is specifically three. Here, the actual number of seals 6 is not limited.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the self-cleaning device for the air chamber also includes a locking member 5. The locking member 5 is used to radially engage with the outer cylinder 2 and the jet head 32 when the telescopic jet member 3 is in the open position. This fixes the positions of the outer cylinder 2 and the jet head 32, preventing the jet head 32 from wobbling or moving along the Z-axis, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the positive pressure gas injected into the air chamber by the jet head 32. In this embodiment, the locking member 5 can specifically be a locking bolt.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the self-cleaning device for the air chamber also includes a throttle valve 4, which is vertically installed on the outer cylinder 2. That is, the axial direction of the throttle valve 4 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 2, and the outlet 41 of the throttle valve 4 is located inside the air chamber. When the telescopic jet 3 is in the open position, the inlet 42 of the throttle valve 4 is aligned with the outlet 321 of the jet head 32 to facilitate the injection of positive pressure gas. When the telescopic jet 3 is in the closed position, the inlet 42 of the throttle valve 4 is offset from the outlet 321 of the jet head 32 to stop the injection of positive pressure gas.

[0051] By setting a throttle valve 4, the flow rate of the positive pressure gas injected into the air chamber can be adjusted, thereby regulating the degree of purging of impurities in the air chamber. This ensures that the positive pressure gas flow resources are used efficiently while achieving the best cleaning effect on impurities in the air chamber, thus better guaranteeing the operating efficiency of the cigarette machine and the quality of the cigarettes. The throttle valve 4 can adopt a common throttle valve structure found in existing technology; therefore, its specific structure and throttling principle will not be described in detail here.

[0052] And, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, by making the axial direction of the throttle valve 4 perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 2, the layout between the outer cylinder 2 and the throttle valve 4 is more reasonable and compact, occupying less area. Thus, it can better adapt to the limited space inside and outside the air chamber without changing the structure and layout of the air chamber.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the support 1 includes a first plate 11 and a second plate 12, which are perpendicularly connected to form an L-shaped support 1. At least a portion of the outer cylinder 2 is placed within the L-shaped structure, and the outer cylinder 2 is connected to both the first plate 11 and the second plate 12. The outer cylinder 2 can be connected to the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 using fastening bolts; the specific connection method is not limited here.

[0054] By vertically connecting the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 to form an L-shaped support 1, and placing at least a portion of the outer cylinder 2 within the L-shaped structure, the layout between the outer cylinder 2 and the support 1 can be made more reasonable and compact, occupying less area. This allows for better adaptation to the limited usable space inside and outside the air chamber without changing the structure and layout of the air chamber.

[0055] Furthermore, the installation positions of the first plate 11 and / or the second plate 12 in the air chamber are adjustable. On the one hand, this allows for more flexible installation positions of the first plate 11 and / or the second plate 12 in the air chamber, ensuring that the support 1 can fit within the limited space inside and outside the air chamber, and better ensuring that the installation position of the support 1 in the air chamber does not affect the performance of the air chamber itself. On the other hand, the installation position of the support 1 in the air chamber can be adjusted according to the amount of impurities in the air chamber, so that the positive pressure gas ejected from the throttle valve 4 can flow more accurately into the location where impurities need to be removed, thereby better ensuring the cleaning effect on impurities in the air chamber.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the installation positions of the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 in the air chamber are adjustable. That is, N first mounting holes 13 are respectively provided on the first plate 11 and the second plate 12, and M second mounting holes are provided in the air chamber, where M is greater than N. By connecting the fixing bolts to any one of the aligned first mounting holes 13 and any one of the aligned second mounting holes, the installation positions of the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 in the air chamber can be adjusted.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are integrally formed to ensure the stability of the connection between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the support 1 in installing on the outer cylinder 2. In other embodiments, the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 may also be separate structures; this is not specifically limited here.

[0058] In this embodiment, the self-cleaning device for the air chamber is designed such that the axial direction of the throttle valve 4 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer cylinder 2, and an L-shaped support 1 is provided, with at least a portion of the outer cylinder 2 placed within the L-shaped structure. This design makes the layout of the entire self-cleaning device for the air chamber more reasonable and compact, with a simple structure and a smaller footprint. As a result, it can better adapt to the limited space inside and outside the air chamber without changing its structure and layout, thus ensuring the original performance of the air chamber.

[0059] The self-cleaning device for the air chamber in this embodiment triggers the telescopic jet 3 to switch between the open and closed positions by moving the air chamber, so that the structure of the entire self-cleaning device for the air chamber is simpler and more compact, and the cleaning operation is simpler and more convenient.

[0060] The self-cleaning device for the air chamber in this embodiment adjusts the flow rate of the positive pressure gas injected into the air chamber by setting a throttle valve 4, thereby adjusting the degree of purging of impurities in the air chamber. This ensures that while making reasonable use of the positive pressure gas flow resources, the cleaning effect on impurities in the air chamber is optimal, thereby better ensuring the operating efficiency of the cigarette machine and the quality of the cigarettes.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
