Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the cigarette manufacturing technical field, concretely relates to a cigarette collecting and discharging device for discrete production. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of the granular heating cigarette, the cigarette making machine and the packaging machine are independent of each other, and lack of cigarette collecting device and buffer. This makes the cigarette after rolling can only rely on manual use of traditional cigarette tray for tray collection. Compared with the traditional flow line tobacco cigarette making machine, this manual tray loading mode not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but also greatly limits the improvement of production efficiency, resulting in high production cost.

[0003] In addition, the traditional cigarette tray is designed according to the conventional 84mm length cigarette, and the size is obviously too large for the granular cigarette with a length of only 45mm. This makes the cigarette after tray loading poor stability, easy to slide and scatter. In actual production, the scattered cigarette not only increases the product loss, but also may mix impurities, affecting the product quality and increasing the quality risk.

[0004] When the traditional cigarette tray filled with cigarettes is transported to the packaging machine for cigarette conveying, manual tray turning operation is needed. This operation is not only tedious, but also easy to cause a large number of cigarettes to scatter in the tray turning process, which not only delays the production progress, but also may cause personal injury due to improper operation of workers in handling scattered cigarettes, which has serious safety hazards.

[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, it is necessary to develop a technical scheme which can effectively solve the problems of granular heating cigarette collecting, transporting and conveying. After in-depth research and practice, a series of modification measures for traditional cigarette tray are proposed, which aims to improve production efficiency, reduce quality risk and safety hazard, and promote the progress of granular heating cigarette production technology.
