Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule production technology, and more specifically to an automatic collection and cleaning device for tobacco capsules. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of tobacco capsules requires a series of processes, including five steps: capsule pellet forming, oil draining, water washing, water draining, and drying. When the capsules are formed, a pelleting machine drips the capsules into the oil cylinder for forming. Then, the formed capsules are drained, screened, collected, and cleaned.

[0003] Existing methods for collecting and cleaning popping beads involve placing the oil-immersed popping beads into a cleaning tank and agitating them with water. However, due to the large number of oil droplets adhering to the surface of the popping beads, the beads tend to clump together due to the adhesion of the oil droplets. Simply using agitation to clean them is insufficient to thoroughly clean them, resulting in poor cleaning performance. Furthermore, the clumping of the popping beads during the cleaning process can hinder the subsequent screening of substandard beads, increasing the difficulty of collecting and screening them.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model proposes an automatic collection and cleaning device for cigarette flavoring beads to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic collection and cleaning device for cigarette flavoring beads, so as to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic collection and cleaning device for cigarette flavoring beads, including a base, on the upper surface of the base, a first mounting frame, a second mounting frame and a waste collection tank are fixedly installed respectively, a guide screening component is provided on the top of the first mounting frame, and a cleaning screening component is provided on the top of the second mounting frame;

[0007] The cleaning and screening assembly includes a cleaning cylinder mounted on the top side of the second mounting frame. An overflow water supply pipe is installed above the cleaning cylinder, and the inlet end of the overflow water supply pipe is connected to an external tap water pipe. An agitator is installed on the inner bottom wall of the cleaning cylinder, and an annular pipe is laid on the inner bottom wall of the cleaning cylinder. An air outlet is opened at the top of the annular pipe. An air pump is fixedly installed on the lower right side of the cleaning cylinder, and a connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the air outlet end of the air pump. The connecting pipe is connected to the annular pipe. A screening hole is opened on the upper left side of the cleaning cylinder. A connecting box is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cleaning cylinder corresponding to the screening hole. A connecting pipe is embedded at the bottom end of the connecting box, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe faces the waste collection tank. A drain pipe is embedded at the bottom end of the cleaning cylinder, and a valve is installed on the surface of the drain pipe. A first intercepting net is installed at the water inlet of the drain pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is embedded on the left side of the waste collection tank, and the outlet end of the discharge pipe is connected to an external waste discharge pipe. A second intercepting net is installed inside the waste collection tank corresponding to the inlet end of the discharge pipe. By setting up the discharge pipe, the oil-water mixture can be discharged, while the second intercepting net can intercept and collect the oil, water, and unqualified popping beads, facilitating the subsequent recycling and processing of the popping beads.

[0009] Furthermore, the guiding and screening assembly includes a guide slide that is inclinedly fixedly installed on the top of the first mounting frame. The lower end of the guide slide faces the upper opening of the washing cylinder. A collection chamber is opened inside the guide slide. A screening screen is embedded on the surface of the guide slide corresponding to the collection chamber. A conveying pipe is embedded at the bottom end of the guide slide corresponding to the collection chamber. The discharge end of the conveying pipe faces the waste collection trough. By setting the guiding and screening assembly, when the popping beads are added into the washing cylinder, the popping beads to be processed are placed at the higher end of the guide slide. Then, the popping beads flow into the washing cylinder under the action of gravity. During the conveying process, the screening screen is used to initially separate the popping beads from the grease and initially complete the screening of popping beads with unqualified particle size, reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the popping beads. The grease and popping beads that are screened out fall into the waste collection trough through the collection chamber and the conveying pipe for temporary storage.

[0010] Furthermore, a vibrator is fixedly installed at the bottom of the guide slide; by setting the vibrator, the guide slide can be vibrated to improve the fluidity of the burst beads.

[0011] Furthermore, the agitator includes an agitator motor fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning cylinder, the output shaft of the agitator motor extending into the interior of the cleaning cylinder and fixedly installed with an agitator blade.

[0012] Furthermore, a one-way valve is provided on the surface of the connecting pipe, and the delivery direction of the one-way valve is from the air pump toward the annular pipe; by providing the one-way valve, water can be prevented from entering the air pump and causing damage.

The tilting assembly includes a tilting box fixedly installed on the surface of the second mounting frame. A geared disc is fixedly installed inside the tilting box. A hydraulic rod is embedded at the bottom end of the tilting box. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod extends into the interior of the tilting box and is fixedly installed with a rack. The rack meshes with the geared disc. By setting the tilting shaft and the tilting assembly, after the cleaning of the popping beads is completed, the water inside the cleaning cylinder is drained in advance through the drain pipe. Then, by controlling the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod drives the rack to move. Based on the meshing of the rack with the geared disc, the tilting shaft can be rotated, causing the upper opening of the cleaning cylinder to deflect downwards, thereby facilitating the discharge and collection of the popping beads.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model involves placing oil-immersed and molded popping beads into a cleaning cylinder for washing with clean water. During the washing process, the popping beads are stirred by an agitator, and simultaneously, an air pump injects air into the bottom of the cleaning cylinder through a connecting pipe and an annular pipe. The air continuously emerges from the air outlet and rises to form bubbles. The rising and churning effect of the bubbles promotes the separation of the popping beads, improving the washing effect. Water is continuously added to the cleaning cylinder through an overflow water supply pipe. The grease layer on the upper side and popping beads with unqualified particle size can leave the cleaning cylinder through the screening holes and flow into the waste collection tank, achieving the purpose of cleaning and collecting qualified popping beads. After washing, the excess water can be discharged by opening the drain pipe. Under the interception of the first interception net, the qualified popping beads are collected inside the cleaning cylinder for subsequent processing.

[0016] 2. This utility model, by setting up a discharge pipe, can discharge oil-water mixtures, while a second interception net can intercept and collect oil, water, and unqualified popping beads, facilitating subsequent recycling of the popping beads; by setting up a guiding screening component, when the popping beads are added into the washing cylinder, the popping beads to be processed are placed at the high end of the guide slide, and then the popping beads flow into the washing cylinder under gravity. During the conveying process, the screening net is used to initially separate the popping beads from the grease, and initially complete the screening of popping beads with unqualified particle sizes, reducing the difficulty of subsequent washing of the popping beads. The screened grease and popping beads fall into the waste collection tank for temporary storage through the collection chamber and conveying pipe; by setting up a vibrator, the guide slide can be vibrated to improve the flowability of the popping beads.

[0017] 3. This utility model, by setting a one-way valve, can prevent water from entering the air pump and causing damage; by setting a flipping shaft and flipping assembly, after the popping beads are cleaned, the water inside the cleaning cylinder is drained in advance through the drain pipe. Then, by controlling the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod drives the rack to move. Based on the meshing of the rack and the gear plate, it can drive the flipping shaft to rotate, so that the upper opening of the cleaning cylinder deflects to the downward direction, thereby facilitating the discharge and collection of popping beads.

In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The automatic collection and cleaning device for cigarette pods involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides an automatic collection and cleaning device for cigarette pods. The cleaning device is connected to an external power control system during installation. It includes a base 1, and a first mounting frame 2, a second mounting frame 3 and a waste collection tank 4 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1. A guide screening component is provided on the top of the first mounting frame 2.

[0026] The guiding and screening assembly includes a guide slide 18 that is tilted and fixedly installed on the top of the first mounting frame 2. The lower end of the guide slide 18 faces the upper opening of the washing cylinder 5. A collection chamber 19 is opened inside the guide slide 18. A screening screen 20 is embedded on the surface of the guide slide 18 corresponding to the collection chamber 19. A conveying pipe 21 is embedded at the bottom end of the guide slide 18 corresponding to the collection chamber 19. The discharge end of the conveying pipe 21 faces the waste collection trough 4.

[0027] It is worth noting that by setting up a guiding screening component, when the popping beads are added into the cleaning cylinder 5, the popping beads to be processed are placed at the high end of the guide slide 18. Then, the popping beads flow into the cleaning cylinder 5 under the action of gravity. During the conveying process, the screening screen 20 is used to initially separate the popping beads from the grease and to initially complete the screening of popping beads with unqualified particle size, reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the popping beads. The grease and popping beads that are screened out fall into the waste collection tank 4 through the collection chamber 19 and the conveying pipe 21 for temporary storage.

[0028] Furthermore, a vibrator 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the guide slide 18.

[0029] By setting up the vibrator 23, the guide slide 18 can be vibrated to improve the fluidity of the popping beads and ensure that the popping beads can fall smoothly into the cleaning cylinder 5.

[0030] The top of the second mounting bracket 3 is equipped with a cleaning and screening assembly.

[0031] The cleaning and screening assembly includes a cleaning cylinder 5 located on the top side of the second mounting frame 3. An overflow water supply pipe 6 is located above the cleaning cylinder 5. The inlet end of the overflow water supply pipe 6 is connected to an external tap water pipe. An agitator 7 is located on the inner bottom wall of the cleaning cylinder 5.

[0032] Furthermore, the agitator 7 includes an agitator motor 701 fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning cylinder 5, the output shaft of the agitator motor 701 extending into the interior of the cleaning cylinder 5 and having an agitator blade 702 fixedly installed thereon.

[0033] The inner bottom wall of the cleaning cylinder 5 is lined with an annular pipe 8, and the top of the annular pipe 8 is provided with an air outlet 9. An air pump 10 is fixedly installed on the lower right side of the cleaning cylinder 5. A connecting pipe 11 is fixedly installed at the air outlet end of the air pump 10. The connecting pipe 11 is connected to the annular pipe 8. A screening hole 12 is provided on the upper left side of the cleaning cylinder 5. A connecting box 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cleaning cylinder 5 corresponding to the screening hole 12. A connecting pipe 14 is embedded at the bottom end of the connecting box 13. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 14 faces the waste collection tank 4. A drain pipe 15 is embedded at the bottom end of the cleaning cylinder 5. A valve is provided on the surface of the drain pipe 15. A first intercepting net 16 is provided at the water inlet of the drain pipe 15.

[0034] It is worth noting that by setting up a cleaning and screening component, the popping beads are put into the cleaning cylinder 5 and cleaned with water. During the cleaning process, the stirring motor 701 drives the stirring paddle 702 to rotate and stir the popping beads. At the same time, the air pump 10 injects air into the bottom of the cleaning cylinder 5 through the connecting pipe 11 and the annular pipe 8. The air continuously emerges from the air outlet 9 and rises to form bubbles. The effect of the rising and surging bubbles promotes the separation of the popping beads and improves the cleaning effect of the popping beads.

[0035] Furthermore, during the cleaning process, water is continuously added to the cleaning cylinder 5 through the overflow water supply pipe 6. The grease layer on the upper side and the popping beads with unqualified particle size can be separated from the cleaning cylinder 5 through the screening hole 12 and flow into the waste collection tank 4, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning and collecting qualified popping beads. After the cleaning is completed, the excess water can be discharged by opening the drain pipe 15, and the qualified popping beads are collected in the cleaning cylinder 5 under the interception of the first interception net 16, which facilitates the subsequent processing of popping beads.

[0036] It is worth noting that the outlet end of the drain pipe 15 is connected to the external waste discharge pipe via an external flexible hose.

[0037] A one-way valve 24 is provided on the surface of the connecting pipe 11, and the conveying direction of the one-way valve 24 is from the air pump 10 toward the annular pipe 8.

[0038] Furthermore, by setting a one-way valve 24, water can be prevented from entering the air pump 10 and causing damage.

[0039] A discharge pipe 17 is embedded on the left side of the waste collection tank 4. The outlet end of the discharge pipe 17 is connected to the external waste discharge pipe. A second intercepting net 22 is installed inside the waste collection tank 4 corresponding to the inlet end of the discharge pipe 17.

[0040] Furthermore, by setting up the discharge pipe 17, the oil-water mixture can be discharged, while the second interception net 22 can intercept and collect the oil, water, and unqualified popping beads, facilitating subsequent recycling and processing of the popping beads.

[0041] A rotating shaft 25 is fixedly installed on the surface of the cleaning cylinder 5. The rotating shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the second mounting bracket 3, and a rotating assembly is provided between the second mounting bracket 3 and the rotating shaft 25.

[0042] The flipping assembly includes a flipping box 26 fixedly mounted on the surface of the second mounting bracket 3. A flipping shaft 25 is fixedly mounted inside the flipping box 26 with a gear 27. A hydraulic rod 28 is embedded at the bottom of the flipping box 26. The telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 28 extends into the interior of the flipping box 26 and is fixedly mounted with a rack 29. The rack 29 meshes with the gear 27.

[0043] It is worth noting that by setting up the flipping shaft 25 and the flipping assembly, after the washing of the popping beads is completed, the water inside the washing cylinder 5 is drained in advance through the drain pipe 15. Then, by controlling the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod 28, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod 28 drives the rack 29 to move. Based on the meshing of the rack 29 with the gear plate 27, the flipping shaft 25 can be driven to rotate, so that the upper opening of the washing cylinder 5 is deflected to the downward direction, thereby facilitating the discharge and collection of the popping beads.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the accompanying drawings of the embodiments disclosed in this utility model only involve the structures involved in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model. Other structures can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
