Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to tobacco production technical field, concretely relates to a belt deviation rectifying device for electronic belt scale. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the tobacco production process, a electronic belt scale is usually arranged before entering the cut tobacco drying machine in the cut tobacco processing stage, which is used to control the cut tobacco flow entering the cut tobacco drying machine, and the specific flow of the cut tobacco is calculated according to the advancing speed of the belt conveyor and the weighing value, therefore, the accuracy of the electronic belt scale is very important.

[0003] In the process of advancing with the belt, the cut tobacco usually passes through some carding mechanisms to scatter the cut tobacco and make it as evenly distributed as possible, so as to ensure the stability of the entering flow and avoid the local bulging or collapse of the material, which leads to the fluctuation of the cut tobacco flow. However, due to the high humidity of the cut tobacco at this time, even if there are carding mechanisms, small pieces are still easy to stick together, and in the actual operation process, the local imbalance of the cut tobacco distribution still occurs more or less, the imbalance problem in the advancing direction has less influence, but the distribution imbalance in the transverse direction often leads to the uneven distribution of the transverse friction of the belt, which causes the transverse deviation of the belt after a long time, and once the deviation occurs, it is difficult to return to the original position, and the subsequent cut tobacco will even aggravate the deviation problem. The uneven distribution of the deviated cut tobacco is easy to cause the overall deviation of the weighing module below the electronic belt scale, which leads to the weighing error and makes the weighing accuracy poor.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 5The utility model discloses an electronic belt scale is provided with the belt deviation correction device, and the belt deviation correction device includes the belt face offset detection module, the belt face offset correction module and the controller, the belt face offset detection module sets below the belt 11 of electronic belt scale, the belt face offset detection module includes detection shaft 21 and a plurality of wheel type rotation speed sensor 22, and each wheel type rotation speed sensor 22 is rotationally arranged on the detection shaft 21, and the detection shaft 21 extends along the width direction of the belt, and the outer wheel surface of each wheel type rotation speed sensor is in rolling contact with the lower surface of the belt 11, the belt face offset correction module includes the left bias correction subassembly and the right bias correction subassembly that set below the belt, the right bias correction subassembly includes the first lifting mechanism 31, the right bias active guide roller 33 that rotationally sets in the top of the first lifting mechanism 31 and is used for driving the right bias active guide roller rotates the first deviation correction motor, and the outer roller surface of the right bias active guide roller 33 is provided with right-hand thread, and the first lifting mechanism is used to drive the right bias active guide roller to move up and down along with it, the left bias correction subassembly includes the second lifting mechanism 41, the left bias active guide roller 42 that rotationally sets in the top of the second lifting mechanism and is used for driving the left bias active guide roller rotates the second deviation correction motor, and the outer roller surface of the left bias active guide roller is provided with left-hand thread, and the second lifting mechanism is used to drive the left bias active guide roller to move up and down along with it, and each wheel type rotation speed sensor, the first deviation correction motor, the first lifting mechanism, the second deviation correction motor and the second lifting mechanism are electrically connected with the controller respectively.

[0032] The electronic belt scale belt deviation correction device provided by the utility model detects the deviation of the belt by the belt face offset detection module, and then the controller controls the first lifting mechanism 31 and the first deviation correction motor or the second lifting mechanism 41 and the second deviation correction motor in the belt face offset correction module to drive the belt to return to the designed position, so that the belt can always run in the central position. It can be seen that the utility model can detect the deviation of the belt of the electronic belt scale and also can realize deviation correction, thereby ensuring the weighing accuracy.

[0033] Specifically, each wheel type rotation speed sensor 22 is equally spaced on the axial direction of the detection shaft 21.

[0034] In an embodiment, the number of belt face offset detection modules is multiple, and each belt face offset detection module is equally spaced in the running direction of the belt, so that the deviation of the belt can be better detected. At this time, the belt face offset correction module is arranged between two adjacent belt face offset detection modules.

[0035] Specifically, the number of the wheel speed sensors 22 arranged on the detection shaft is at least 10. At this time, the width (i.e. the length in the axial direction of the detection shaft) of the outer wheel surface of a single wheel speed sensor can be less than the set offset of the belt, and the boundary of the outermost wheel speed sensor is aligned with or exceeds the boundary of the belt.

[0036] It can be understood that the wheel speed sensor 22 refers to a speed sensor with a rotating wheel, and the speed sensor can be specifically selected as a relatively small sensor such as an encoder, which can be coaxially installed with the rotating wheel. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 The arrow in the figure indicates the running direction of the belt.

[0037] The detection principle of the belt 11 offset detection module for detecting the offset of the belt 11 is as follows:

[0038] During the running of the belt 11 at the designed position (i.e. the central position), the belt 11 can contact the outer wheel surface of each wheel speed sensor 22 and drive each wheel speed sensor to rotate by friction to obtain a rotation speed signal, which is sent to the controller for logical judgment.

[0039] When the belt is offset, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the belt 11 is offset to the left or right, and when the offset reaches a certain degree, the outermost wheel speed sensor 22 is no longer in contact with the belt and loses power, so it no longer rotates, or the contact is reduced and the rotation speed is reduced. At this time, it means that the belt has an offset as shown in the figure, and the specific direction of the offset is opposite to the side of the wheel speed sensor that stops rotating. According to the width value of the wheel speed sensor, the offset amount can be roughly judged.

[0040] Further, the number of the right offset active guide rollers 33 is at least two, and each of the right offset active guide rollers 33 is driven to rotate by the first offset correction motor, so that the first offset correction motor can drive each right offset active guide roller to rotate synchronously.

[0041] Specifically, the number of the left offset active guide rollers 42 is at least two, and each of the left offset active guide rollers 42 is driven to rotate by the second offset correction motor, so that the second offset correction motor can drive each left offset active guide roller to rotate synchronously.

[0042] Furthermore, the first lifting mechanism 31 includes two lifting components and a rotating shaft 32, which are arranged opposite to each other on the left and right sides of the belt. Each lifting component includes a lifting cylinder 34, a slider 36, and two lifting guide rails 35. The two ends of the slider are slidably engaged with the two lifting guide rails. The upper end of the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the bottom of the slider. The two ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the sliders in the two lifting components. Using this design, the lifting cylinder 34 drives the slider to move up and down along the lifting guide rails, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to move up and down, thereby causing the right-side active guide roller to move up and down as well. It is understood that the right-side active guide roller is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the first correction motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate; the lifting cylinder is electrically connected to the controller.

[0043] Specifically, the second lifting mechanism 41 has the same structure as the first lifting mechanism 31. It can be understood that when the right-biased active guide roller moves upward to its highest point under the drive of the first lifting mechanism, it rolls into contact with the lower surface of the belt; similarly, when the left-biased active guide roller moves upward to its highest point under the drive of the second lifting mechanism, it rolls into contact with the lower surface of the belt.

[0044] The general working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0045] When the belt shifts to the right, such as Figure 2 The belt shown bends downwards, at which point the left side (i.e.) Figure 2 The wheel speed sensor 22 at the upper boundary of the belt no longer contacts the belt and loses speed. The controller determines that a deviation has occurred based on the collected signal.

[0046] The controller controls the right-side correction assembly to operate, raising the right-side active guide roller via the first lifting mechanism 31 so that it contacts the lower surface of the belt. Figure 3 As shown, the right-side active guide roller is driven to rotate by the first correction motor. During the rotation of the right-side active guide roller, due to the directionality of its right-hand thread, the belt moves to the left under the drive of the friction between the right-hand thread and the lower surface of the belt. When the speed sensor of the wheel that has lost speed recovers, the controller determines that the belt has been corrected and stops the correction work. The first correction motor stops running, and the first lifting mechanism 31 lowers the right-side active guide roller so that it is no longer in contact with the lower surface of the belt.

[0047] Similarly, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 The image shows the situation when the belt shifts to the left (the belt bends upwards). The belt can be corrected using the same correction principle as described above.

[0048] The utility model discloses can carry out automatic detection to the deviation situation of the belt of electronic belt scale, can also carry out horizontal deviation rectification, make the belt can always run in the central position to can make the distribution of material more uniform, when weighing, do not occur weight deviation, further guarantee the accuracy of weighing.

[0049] Although some specific embodiments of the utility model have been described in detail by examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are only for illustration, and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments can be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the utility model. The scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims.
