[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] The following is combined with Figure 1 This invention describes a pressure control system for a flexible blade gate and a tobacco shredder.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the pressure control system of the flexible knife gate includes: an air source 10, a valve assembly, a cylinder 30, a first pipeline 201, a second pipeline 202, and a third pipeline 203. The valve assembly is connected to the air source 10 through the first pipeline 201, the cylinder 30 is connected to the valve assembly through the third pipeline 203, and both ends of the second pipeline 202 are connected to the first pipeline 201 and the pilot hole of the valve assembly, respectively. The pressure of the compressed air in the second pipeline 202 is greater than or equal to the pressure required for the valve assembly to be turned on, and the pressure of the compressed air in the first pipeline 201 is less than the pressure of the compressed air in the second pipeline 202.

[0023] Specifically, the valve assembly has pilot holes at both ends, and the second pipe 202 is connected to the pilot holes of the valve assembly. Compressed air from the air source 10 enters the valve assembly through the pilot holes via the first pipe 201 and the second pipe 202. Since the pressure of the compressed air in the second pipe 202 is greater than or equal to the pressure required for the valve assembly to open, the valve assembly is thus activated. The air source 10 is also connected to other air inlets of the valve assembly via the first pipe, and compressed air can also directly enter the valve assembly through the first pipe 201. When the valve assembly is activated, this portion of compressed air enters the cylinder 30 through the third pipe 203, causing the cylinder 30 to move the flexible blade to cut the tobacco.

[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by adding a second pipeline 202, the pressure of the compressed air in the second pipeline 202 is relatively large, which can independently open the valve group; while the pressure of the compressed air entering the cylinder 30 through the valve group and the third pipeline 203 is relatively small. When the cylinder 30 drives the flexible knife gate to move, it will not cause the tobacco to "stick together" or "adhere" to the tobacco, thus ensuring the quality of the tobacco.

[0025] The pressure control system for the flexible knife gate provided in this embodiment of the utility model connects the second pipeline to the first pipeline and the pilot hole of the valve group. Compressed air from the air source can be directly introduced into the valve group through the second pipeline. The pressure of this compressed air is relatively high, which can directly cause the valve core of the valve group to move, so that the valve group is in the conducting state. When the valve group is in the conducting state, the compressed air in the first pipeline enters the cylinder through the third pipeline. The pressure of this compressed air is relatively low, which will not affect the quality of the tobacco, thereby ensuring the quality of the tobacco.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of this utility model, the valve group includes: a first pilot valve 21 and a proportional pressure reducing valve 22. The proportional pressure reducing valve 22 is connected to the first pipeline 201 and the first pilot valve 21. The first pilot valve 21 is connected to the cylinder 30 through the third pipeline 203. The first pilot valve 21 has pilot holes at both ends, and the second pipeline 202 is connected to the pilot holes.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first pilot valve 21 is a three-position five-way pilot valve. Pilot holes are provided at both ends of the first pilot valve 21. The second pipeline 202 connects to the pilot holes and then communicates with the first pipeline 201. The first pipeline 201 is connected to the proportional pressure reducing valve 22, which is connected to one of the air inlets of the first pilot valve 21.

[0028] In this embodiment, the cylinder 30 has a double piston and double telescopic rod structure. The space between the two pistons is the rodless chamber of the cylinder 30, and the chamber containing the telescopic rod is the rod chamber of the cylinder 30. There are two third pipes 203, one connected to the rodless chamber of the cylinder 30 and the other connected to the two rod chambers of the cylinder 30. The other two ends of the two third pipes 203 are connected to the two air holes of the first pilot valve 21.

[0029] When compressed air enters the first pilot valve 21 through the second pipeline 202, the valve core of the first pilot valve 21 moves, and the first pilot valve 21 is opened. The compressed air in the first pipeline 201 enters the rodless chamber of the cylinder 30 through the third pipeline 203, and the compressed air in the rod chamber enters the first pilot valve 21 through the third pipeline 203, causing the telescopic rod to extend and drive the flexible knife gate to cut the tobacco. Correspondingly, when the valve core of the first pilot valve 21 switches positions, compressed air enters the rod chamber of the cylinder 30, and compressed air in the rodless chamber enters the first pilot valve 21, causing the telescopic rod to retract, thereby driving the flexible knife gate away from the tobacco.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the pressure control system of the flexible knife gate also includes multiple throttle valve groups 60, each throttle valve group 60 is disposed in a third pipeline 203, and each throttle valve group 60 is located between the first pilot valve 21 and the cylinder 30.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, each third pipeline 203 is equipped with a throttle valve assembly 60, and each throttle valve assembly 60 includes a first check valve 602 and a throttle valve 601. Taking one throttle valve assembly 60 as an example, when compressed air enters the rodless chamber of the cylinder 30 through the first pilot valve 21, the compressed air flows through the throttle valve 601 into the rodless chamber of the cylinder 30. The throttle valve 601 reduces the flow rate, thereby reducing the pressure of the compressed air entering the rodless chamber. When the gas in the rodless chamber enters the first pilot valve 21, the compressed air flows through the first check valve 602 into the first pilot valve 21. Correspondingly, the principle of the other throttle valve assembly 60 is the same, so it will not be described again here.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of this utility model, the pressure control system of the flexible knife gate further includes a second pilot valve 40. The second pilot valve 40 is disposed in the first pipeline 201 and located upstream of the proportional pressure reducing valve 22. The second pilot valve 40 is used to control the on / off connection between the first pipeline 201 and the valve group. When the second pilot valve 40 is in the open state, compressed air flows through the second pilot valve 40 and enters the valve group.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second pilot valve 40 is a two-position three-way pilot valve.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown in the embodiment of the utility model, the pressure control system of flexible knife door still includes pressure sensor 50, pressure sensor 50 sets up in first pipeline 201, and is located the upstream of second pilot valve 40, and the connecting place of second pipeline 202 and first pipeline 201 is located between pressure sensor 50 and second pilot valve 40.

[0035] Specifically, pressure sensor 50 is arranged between the air source 10 and the second pilot valve 40, and the pressure sensor 50 is used for detecting the pressure of the compressed air passing through the first pipeline 201.

[0036] As Figure 1 shown in the embodiment of the utility model, the pressure control system of flexible knife door still includes: second check valve 70, dust removal mechanism 100 and fourth pipeline 204. Second check valve 70 sets up in first pipeline 201, and is located between second pilot valve 40 and pressure sensor 50, dust removal mechanism 100 is connected with first pipeline 201 by fourth pipeline 204, and the connecting place of fourth pipeline 204 and first pipeline 201 is located the upstream of second check valve 70.

[0037] Specifically, the compressed air in the air source 10 flows into the valve group after passing through the second check valve 70 and entering the pilot hole of the first pilot valve 21 through the second pipeline 202; the compressed air in the air source 10 can also enter the dust removal mechanism 100 through the fourth pipeline 204 for purging.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown, the pressure control system of flexible knife door still includes: pressure reducing valve 80 and third pilot valve 90, pressure reducing valve 80 and third pilot valve 90 are both arranged in fourth pipeline 204, pressure reducing valve 80 is located the upstream of third pilot valve 90, and third pilot valve 90 is located the upstream of dust removal mechanism 100.

[0039] Specifically, the compressed air enters the dust removal mechanism 100 through the pressure reducing valve 80 and the third pilot valve 90, and the third pilot valve 90 is a two-position three-way pilot valve.

[0040] The embodiment of the utility model further provides a tobacco cutter, which comprises a flexible knife door and a pressure control system of the flexible knife door, and the air cylinder 30 in the pressure control system of the flexible knife door is connected with the flexible knife door.

[0041] Specifically, the pressure control system of the flexible knife door comprises: an air source 10, a valve group, an air cylinder 30, a first pipeline 201, a second pipeline 202 and a third pipeline 203. The valve group is connected with the air source 10 through the first pipeline 201, the air cylinder 30 is connected with the valve group through the third pipeline 203, and the two ends of the second pipeline 202 are connected with the first pipeline 201 and a pilot hole of the valve group respectively. The pressure of compressed air in the second pipeline 202 is greater than or equal to the pressure required when the valve group is turned on, and the pressure of compressed air in the first pipeline 201 is less than that in the second pipeline 202.

[0042] The valve group has a pilot hole at two ends, and the second pipeline 202 is communicated with the pilot hole of the valve group. The compressed air in the air source 10 enters the valve group through the first pipeline 201 and the second pipeline 202 and the pilot hole of the valve group, and since the pressure of compressed air in the second pipeline 202 is greater than or equal to the pressure required when the valve group is turned on, the valve group is turned on. The air source 10 is also communicated with other air inlet holes of the valve group through the first pipeline, and the compressed air can also directly enter the valve group through the first pipeline 201, and when the valve group is turned on, this part of compressed air enters the air cylinder 30 through the third pipeline 203, so as to drive the flexible knife door to move to cut the tobacco.

[0043] Further, in the embodiment, by additionally arranging the second pipeline 202, the pressure of compressed air in the second pipeline 202 is relatively large, and the valve group can be independently opened; and the pressure of compressed air entering the air cylinder 30 through the valve group and the third pipeline 203 is relatively small, and when the flexible knife door is driven to move by the air cylinder 30, the phenomenon of “filament combination” and “adhesion” of the tobacco will not occur, so as to ensure the quality of the tobacco.

[0044] The tobacco cutting machine provided by the embodiment of the utility model, through the pressure control system of the flexible knife door, the compressed air in the air source can be directly introduced into the valve group through the second pipeline, the pressure of this part of compressed air is relatively large, and the valve core of the valve group can be directly driven to move, so that the valve group is in the turned-on state, when the valve group is in the turned-on state, the compressed air in the first pipeline enters the air cylinder through the third pipeline, the pressure of this part of compressed air is relatively small, and the quality of the tobacco will not be affected, so as to ensure the quality of the tobacco.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than limit them; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified, or some technical features can be replaced equivalently; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
