Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cigarette manufacturing equipment, and in particular relates to a cigarette machine belt slippage monitoring device and a cigarette machine. Background Technology

[0002] The cigarette tube's conveyor belt carries the cigarette paper and tobacco sticks through the tube and participates in the entire cigarette forming process. In actual production, belt wear and variations in tension can cause slippage. When slippage occurs, problems such as stick slippage, paper jams, and misalignment at the compaction end can arise during production, affecting both equipment efficiency and cigarette quality. Currently, cigarette manufacturers check the belt tension and replace the belt periodically to prevent slippage. However, this approach is somewhat indiscriminate and fails to provide comprehensive process monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a cigarette machine belt slippage monitoring device and cigarette machine, which aims to quickly and accurately detect the phenomenon of belt slippage by accurately monitoring the linear speed of the cigarette machine belt.

[0004] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] This utility model provides a cigarette machine belt slippage monitoring device, including a belt pulley, a first support roller, a second support roller, a photoelectric sensor, and a drive assembly. The belt passes sequentially around the belt pulley, the first support roller, and the second support roller. The belt pulley is mounted on the drive assembly. A belt tensioning pulley is attached to the belt, and the belt tensioning pulley is spaced apart from the second support roller or the belt pulley. Several dark-colored markings with the same spacing are evenly distributed on the outer side of the belt. An adjustment mounting frame is provided on the side of the belt pulley near the first support roller. The adjustment mounting frame is located on the outer side of the belt and is arranged circumferentially along the belt pulley. The photoelectric sensor is mounted on the adjustment mounting frame and detects the dark-colored markings that move with the belt.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a PLC controller, the drive component is a servo motor or a main motor, and the PLC controller and photoelectric sensor are electrically connected.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes an alarm device, wherein the PLC controller is signal-connected to the alarm device and controls the alarm device to sound an alarm when the ratio is greater than a set threshold.

[0008] Furthermore, the alarm device includes: an audible and visual logic controller, an LED indicator, and an alarm; the input terminal of the audible and visual logic controller is connected to the output terminal of the PLC controller, and the output terminal of the audible and visual logic controller is connected to the LED indicator and the alarm signal respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the alarm device includes at least one of the following: a buzzer, an audible and visual alarm, and a horn.

[0010] Furthermore, the dark markings are either dot marks made on the tape using ink provided by the ink cartridge or marks printed during tape production.

[0011] Furthermore, the belt tensioning wheel is provided in two sets, which are respectively attached to the inner and outer sides of the belt. The outer belt tensioning wheel is spaced apart from the belt wheel, and the inner belt tensioning wheel is spaced apart from the second support roller.

[0012] This utility model also provides a cigarette rolling machine, including the cigarette rolling machine belt slippage monitoring device described in any of the above claims.

[0013] Beneficial effects

[0014] This invention improves production efficiency and reduces manual inspection costs by marking dark dots on the conveyor belt and detecting these dots using photoelectric sensors. The system calculates the conveyor belt speed based on the number of dots detected per unit time, thus monitoring for belt slippage in real time. A tensioning wheel increases the pressure between the conveyor belt and the pulley, thereby increasing friction and preventing relative slippage. Furthermore, the optimized sensor detection angle through adjustable mounting bracket design ensures accurate dot identification.

[0015] This invention involves marking the original cigarette machine's belt at regular intervals with ink provided by an ink cartridge (or using a custom-made special belt). At the same time, a photoelectric sensor is installed near the belt pulley to detect the markings on the belt. By accurately monitoring the linear speed of the cigarette machine's belt, the invention can quickly and accurately detect belt slippage. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the optimized sensor detection angle through adjustable mounting bracket design ensures accurate dot identification.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cigarette machine belt slippage monitoring device, including a belt pulley 3, a first support roller 5-1, a second support roller 5-2, and a photoelectric sensor 2. The belt 1 is wound around the belt pulley, the first support roller, and the second support roller to form a belt conveyor track. A belt tensioning wheel is attached to the belt, and the belt tensioning wheel is spaced apart from the second support roller 5-2 or the belt pulley 3. Specifically, there are two sets of belt tensioning wheels, one attached to the inner side and one to the outer side of the belt 1. The outer belt tensioning wheel is spaced apart from the belt pulley 3, and the inner belt tensioning wheel is spaced apart from the belt pulley 3. The second support roller 5-2 is spaced apart. The belt pulley 3 rotates under the drive of a servo motor. Several dark marking dots with the same spacing, namely belt marking dots 4, are evenly distributed on the outer side of the belt (these dark marking dots are dot marks made on the belt using ink provided by the ink cartridge). An adjustment mounting bracket is provided on the side of the belt pulley 3 near the first support roller 5-2. The adjustment mounting bracket is located on the outer side of the belt 1 and is arranged around the belt pulley 3. The photoelectric sensor 2 is installed on the adjustment mounting bracket and detects the dark marking dots that move with the belt 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, a PLC controller is also included. The drive component is a servo motor or a main motor. The PLC controller and the photoelectric sensor 2 are electrically connected.

[0027] In this embodiment, an alarm device is also included. The PLC controller is signal-connected to the alarm device and controls the alarm device to sound an alarm when the ratio is greater than a set threshold. This data processing process is existing technology.

[0028] In this embodiment, the alarm device includes: an audio-visual logic controller, an LED indicator, and an alarm; the input terminal of the audio-visual logic controller is connected to the output terminal of the PLC controller, and the output terminal of the audio-visual logic controller is connected to the LED indicator and the alarm signal respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, the alarm device includes at least one of the following: a buzzer, an audible and visual alarm, and a horn.

[0030] In this embodiment, the dark markings are dots made on the tape 1 using ink provided by the ink cartridge or markings printed during tape production.

[0031] This invention involves marking the original cigarette rolling machine's belt at regular intervals with ink provided by an ink cartridge (or using a custom-made special belt). At the same time, a photoelectric sensor is installed near the belt pulley to detect the markings on the belt. The number of markings detected per unit time is converted into the belt's running speed. The belt's running speed is compared with the cigarette production speed per unit time to determine if the belt is slipping.

[0032] Specific implementation process of this utility model:

[0033] (1) Calculate the linear velocity of the fabric tape

[0034] Some markers are evenly applied to the fabric belt 1, with a distance S between adjacent markers 4. A photoelectric sensor 2 is installed near the belt pulley 3 to detect the markers 4 and record the number of markers detected per unit time T. Then, the linear velocity of the fabric belt at this unit time point is V = number × S / T.

[0035] (2) Calculate the linear velocity of the smoke branch and determine slippage.

[0036] The number of cigarettes produced per unit time T is counted as number1. The length D of each cigarette remains constant during production. Therefore, the linear velocity of the cigarettes per unit time is V1 = number1 × D / T. The slippage coefficient K is calculated as V1 / V. When K increases to a certain threshold, it is determined that the conveyor belt is slipping, and the alarm device will sound.
