[0002] Cigarette sheets are usually stored in storage cabinets. To make good use of the storage space, the staff will lay the cigarette sheets in the storage cabinet layer by layer. After the cigarette sheets have been stored in the storage cabinet for a period of time, the cigarette sheets at the bottom will be damaged due to the pressure of the cigarette sheets above for a long time, which will affect the processing quality of the finished product. Some cigarette sheets may even be squeezed out of the tobacco oil due to excessive pressure and stick to the bottom of the storage cabinet, making it difficult to take them out later.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage cabinet to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a storage cabinet that can solve the problem that tobacco leaves at the bottom are deformed due to compression, and some tobacco leaves may even be squeezed out of the oil due to excessive compression and stick to the bottom surface of the storage cabinet.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A storage cabinet for storing tobacco leaves, the storage cabinet comprising:

[0007] The cabinet has guide grooves on two opposing side walls.

[0008] A winding assembly is placed inside the cabinet and on the side of the cabinet without the guide groove. The winding assembly includes a rotating component, a roller blind, and a driving component. The driving component is driven to the rotating component. One end of the roller blind is fixedly connected to the rotating component, and the other end is a free end. Both sides of the free end are placed in the guide groove. When the roller blind is wound up by the rotating component, the roller blind is in a retracted state; when the free end of the roller blind abuts against the opposite side wall, the roller blind is in an extended state.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution for the storage cabinet, the storage cabinet further includes a limiting component, which includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member. The first limiting member is placed on the roller shutter and close to the free end, and the second limiting member is located on the same side as the guide groove and close to the rotating member. When the roller shutter is in the retracted state, the first limiting member and the second limiting member abut against each other.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution for the storage cabinet, the storage cabinet further includes a fixing component for selectively fixing the free end to the cabinet body.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution for the storage cabinet, the fixing component includes a fixing member, a bracket, and a protruding member. The fixing member is located at the free end and has a fixing part. The bracket is perpendicularly connected to the side wall opposite to the free end. The protruding member is perpendicularly connected to the bracket, and the output end of the protruding member can be selectively inserted into the fixing part.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution for the storage cabinet, the fixing component includes a ferromagnetic metal and an electromagnet. The ferromagnetic metal is disposed at the free end, and the electromagnet is fixedly disposed on the side wall opposite to the free end. The electromagnet is capable of selectively attracting the ferromagnetic metal.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution for the storage cabinet, there are two driving components, which are arranged opposite to each other. The output ends of the two driving components are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating component, and the two driving components move synchronously.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution for the storage cabinet, the storage cabinet also includes a sensor, which is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution for the storage cabinet, the sensor includes a sensing element, a chip, and an infrared emitting module. The sensing element and the infrared emitting module are respectively connected to different pins of the chip. The driving element is provided with an infrared receiving module, and the infrared receiving module is signal-connected to the infrared emitting module.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution for the storage cabinet, the roller shutter is formed by connecting multiple metal plates; or the roller shutter is formed by connecting multiple plastic plates.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution for the storage cabinet, the storage cabinet also includes a feeding roller, which is used to uniformly discharge the tobacco leaves.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This utility model provides a storage cabinet. By installing a winding assembly inside the cabinet and controlling the rotation of a rotating component through a drive mechanism, the roller shutter can be controlled to move along the guide groove. When the free end of the roller shutter abuts against its opposite side, the roller shutter is in the extended state. Thus, when the staff places the tobacco sheets to a certain height, the drive mechanism can be activated to convert the roller shutter to the extended state, dividing the internal space of the cabinet into an upper space and a lower space. Then, the tobacco sheets are laid in the upper space. By placing the tobacco sheets in batches in the upper and lower spaces, the tobacco sheets at the bottom of the upper and lower spaces will not be excessively compressed. This avoids the problem of the tobacco sheets deforming or even squeezing out tobacco oil, thus ensuring the quality of the finished tobacco sheets. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage cabinet for storing tobacco leaves. The bottom of the storage cabinet is equipped with a conveying mechanism 5, and an opening 6 is provided at the bottom of one side of the storage cabinet so that the tobacco leaves inside the storage cabinet can be conveyed to the outside of the storage cabinet through the opening 6 when the conveying mechanism 5 is running. The storage cabinet includes a cabinet body 1 and a winding assembly 2. Guide grooves 11 are provided on two opposing side walls of one set of the cabinet body 1. The winding assembly 2 is located inside the cabinet body 1, on the side of the cabinet body 1 without the guide grooves 11. The winding assembly 2 includes a rotating component 21, a roller shutter 22, and a driving component 23. The driving component 23 is drivenly connected to the rotating component 21; controlling the operation of the driving component 23 controls the rotation of the rotating component 21. One end of the roller shutter 22 is connected to the rotating component 21, and the other end is a free end. The two sides of the free end are placed within the guide grooves 11, allowing the roller shutter 22 to move along the direction of the guide grooves 11. When the drive unit 23 operates to control the rotation of the rotating unit 21, the roller blind 22 can be released and retracted. The drive unit 23 drives the rotating unit 21 to rotate forward, and the roller blind 22 gradually extends along the guide rail. When the free end of the roller blind 22 abuts against the opposite side wall, the roller blind 22 is in the extended state. At this time, the cabinet 1 is divided into an upper space 12 and a lower space 13. When the drive unit 23 drives the rotating unit 21 to rotate in reverse, the roller blind 22 rolls up onto the rotating unit 21, and the roller blind 22 is in the retracted state. When the roller blind 22 is in the retracted state, the two sides of its free end are located in the guide groove 11 to facilitate the subsequent extension of the roller blind 22.

[0031] The storage cabinet provided in this embodiment, by setting a winding assembly 2 inside the cabinet body 1, and controlling the rotation of the rotating part 21 by the drive component 23, can control the movement of the roller shutter 22 along the guide groove 11. When the free end of the roller shutter 22 abuts against its opposite side, the roller shutter 22 is in the extended state. Thus, when the staff places the tobacco leaves layer by layer to a certain height, the drive component 23 can be activated to convert the roller shutter 22 to the extended state, dividing the internal space of the cabinet body 1 into an upper space 12 and a lower space 13. Then, the tobacco leaves are placed in the upper space 12 and placed in batches in the upper space 12 and the lower space 13. The tobacco leaves at the bottom of the upper space 12 and the lower space 13 will not be excessively squeezed, thus avoiding the problem of tobacco leaves being damaged or even squeezed out of tobacco oil, and ensuring the quality of the finished tobacco leaves.

[0032] In this embodiment, the winding assembly 2 is preferably placed in the middle of the cabinet 1 to ensure the rationality of the layout of the upper space 12 and the lower space 13.

[0033] In this embodiment, the rotating component 21 can be a rotating shaft, which can be a solid cylinder or a cylinder closed at both ends. The driving component 23 can be a rotating motor, which can be a synchronous rotating motor or an asynchronous rotating motor. The driving component 23 can be programmed and controlled. Each time it is started, the number of clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of the driving component 23 is a fixed number to ensure that when the roller blind 22 is in the retracted state, both sides of the free end of the roller blind 22 are still located in the guide groove 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the storage cabinet also includes a limiting component to limit the stopping position of the roller blind 22 when it is retracted, further ensuring that when the roller blind 22 is in the retracted state, a portion of the roller blind 22 near its free end is located in the guide groove 11, facilitating subsequent operations. The limiting component includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member. The first limiting member is located on the roller blind 22 near its free end, and the second limiting member is located on the same side as the guide groove 11, near the rotating member 21. When the rotating member 21 reverses to retract the roller blind 22, the first limiting member moves towards the second limiting member along with the movement of the roller blind 22 until the roller blind 22 is in the retracted state, at which point the first limiting member abuts against the second limiting member, ensuring that a portion of the roller blind 22 is always located between the two guide grooves 11. Both the first and second limiting members can be brackets or baffles, as long as they can abut against each other when the roller blind 22 is in the retracted state; the specific structure is not limited. The first limiting member is preferably placed on the side near the free end of the roller shutter 22. This reduces the space occupied by the second limiting member, making the design of the storage cabinet more reasonable and accommodating more tobacco leaves.

[0035] In this embodiment, the storage cabinet also includes a fixing component for selectively fixing the free end to the cabinet body 1. When the roller shutter 22 is in the extended state, the free end and the side opposite it abut against each other. Fixing the free end and the side abutting against it at this time can ensure that the cigarettes in the upper space 12 can be placed more stably on the roller shutter 22. When it is necessary to adjust the roller shutter 22 to the storage state, it will not affect the storage of the roller shutter 22. The setting of the fixing component further improves the rationality of the storage cabinet design.

[0036] In one embodiment, the fixing assembly includes a fixing member, a bracket, and an extension member. The fixing member can be located at the free end of the roller blind 22, and a fixing part can be provided on the fixing member. The bracket is vertically and fixedly mounted on the side wall opposite to the free end, and the extension member is vertically and fixedly mounted on the bracket. When the roller blind 22 is in the extended state, the fixing part is opposite to the output end of the extension member. By controlling the operation of the extension member, the output end of the extension member can be selectively inserted into the fixing part, thereby selectively fixing the free end and the side opposite it. Specifically, when the roller blind 22 needs to be switched from the extended state to the retracted state, the output end of the extension member retracts; when the roller blind 22 is switched from the retracted state to the extended state, the output end of the extension member extends. The fixing member can be a fixing ring or a column with an inner groove. When the fixing member is a fixing ring, its internal circular hole is the fixing part; when the fixing member is a column, the inner groove is the fixing part. No specific restrictions are placed on the choice of fixing member. The extension member can be an electric extension rod or an electric cylinder.

[0037] In another embodiment, the fixing component includes a ferromagnetic metal and an electromagnet. The ferromagnetic metal is disposed at the free end, and the electromagnet is fixedly disposed on the side opposite the free end. When the roller blind 22 is in the extended state, the electromagnet can selectively attract the ferromagnetic metal. Specifically, when the roller blind 22 needs to be switched from the extended state to the retracted state, the electromagnet is energized, and the roller blind 22 can be normally retracted. When the roller blind 22 is switched from the retracted state to the extended state, the ferromagnetic metal adheres to the electromagnet, the electromagnet is energized, and the free end and the opposite side wall are fixed. The ferromagnetic metal shell can be made of iron, nickel, or cobalt sheets, etc.

[0038] In this embodiment, the winding assembly 2 is provided with two driving members 23, which are respectively disposed on the side wall with the guide groove 11 and are arranged opposite to each other. The output ends of the two driving members 23 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating member 21. To ensure the stable rotation of the rotating member 21, the two driving members 23 move synchronously. The connection of the two rotating members 21 to their respective ends makes the structure of the winding assembly 2 more stable and the design more reasonable.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the diagram, in this embodiment, the storage cabinet also includes a sensor 3, which is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet 1. When the sensor 3 detects tobacco leaves, the drive unit 23 will activate to change the roller shutter 22 from the retracted state to the extended state. The sensor 3 is set up to detect the placement height of the tobacco leaves. When the tobacco leaves are placed to a certain height, the roller shutter 22 will extend to divide the cabinet 1 into an upper space 12 and a lower space 13. When the tobacco leaves in the upper space 12 are placed to a certain height, feeding will stop. In this embodiment, at least two sensors 3 are set, but the specific number is not limited. Preferably, the sensors 3 are set at 1 / 3 and 5 / 6 of the height of the inner wall of the cabinet 1 to ensure the reasonable placement of tobacco leaves in the upper space 12 and the lower space 13.

[0040] Exemplarily, sensor 3 includes a sensing element, a chip, and an infrared emitting module. The sensing element is used to detect tobacco smoke. The sensing element and the infrared emitting module are respectively connected to different pins of the chip. An infrared receiving module is provided on the driver 23, wherein the infrared emitting module and the infrared receiving module are signal-connected. Specifically, when the sensing element detects tobacco smoke, sensor 3 outputs an electrical signal to the chip. A control program is programmed into the chip, which outputs an electrical signal to the infrared emitting module to power it on. After power-on, the infrared emitting module transmits a signal to the infrared receiving module. The infrared receiving module is electrically connected to the drive switch of driver 23 to control the operation of driver 23. The control principle of sensor 3 and driver 23 is a conventional technical solution in the field of electronic control and is not the focus of this utility model.

[0041] In this embodiment, the roller blind 22 is formed by connecting multiple metal plates, or the roller blind 22 is formed by connecting multiple plastic plates. The material of the roller blind 22 is not specifically limited here. Regarding the structure of the roller blind 22, refer to the door panel in the existing roller blind 22 door; it is not an improvement of this utility model and will not be elaborated further here.

[0042] In this embodiment, the storage cabinet also includes a feeding roller 4, which is disposed at the opening 6. When the conveying mechanism 5 is running, the feeding roller 4 moves the tobacco flakes, making it easier for the tobacco flakes to be discharged from the storage cabinet. It is worth noting that the structure and working principle of the feeding roller 4 are conventional knowledge in mechanical parts and are not the focus of protection in this embodiment.

[0043] In this preferred embodiment, rollers with locking function can be selectively installed at the bottom of the cabinet 1 as needed to facilitate the movement of the cabinet 1 by staff. The rollers can be referred to in the existing technical solutions, and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
