[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0029] A guiding hopper structure includes, but is not limited to, a supporting base 1001, a power chamber 1002, and a feeding chamber 1003. A supporting vertical plate 1011 is provided on the supporting base 1001. The feeding chamber 1003 is connected to the supporting vertical plate 1011. A power assembly 1004 is provided in the power chamber 1002. A rotating bearing cooperating with the power assembly 1004 is provided in the feeding chamber 1003. The power assembly 1004 is fixed to the feeding chamber 1003 via the rotating bearing. A guiding assembly 1006 and a distributing assembly 1005 are also provided in the feeding chamber 1003. The outlet end of the guiding assembly 1006 is directly opposite the distributing assembly 1005. The guiding assembly 1006 sequentially guides cigar tobacco blanks 1007 into the distributing assembly 1005, which precisely distributes the cigar tobacco blanks 1007. The power assembly 1004 is connected to both the distributing assembly 1005 and the guiding assembly 1006.
[0030] Based on the above structure, the support base 1001 provides support for the whole, while the power mechanism and power chamber 1002 are connected to the feeding chamber 1003 and are subjected to force through the feeding chamber 1003. In this solution, the power component 1004 is set as one, which provides power to the guide component 1006 and the dispensing component 1005 respectively, saving the overall cost and making the whole device structure more compact and reducing the overall space ratio. The guide component 1006 can reduce the large accumulation of cigar tobacco blanks 1007, so that the dispensing component 1005 is always within the range of efficient operation and will not damage the compressed cigars.
[0031] As an example, the feeding chamber 1003 may include a first side plate 1031, a second side plate 1032, and a guide bottom plate 1033; the first side plate 1031 is connected to the supporting vertical plate 1011, the second side plate 1032 and the first side plate 1031 are symmetrically arranged along the center of the feeding chamber 1003, and the guide bottom plate 1033 is disposed between the first side plate 1031 and the second side plate 1032;
[0032] A hinge rod 1034 and a support rod 1035 are provided between the first side plate 1031 and the second side plate 1032; the second side plate 1032 may include an upper end plate 1321 and a lower end plate 1322, the hinge rod 1034 is provided on the contact part of the upper end plate 1321 and the lower end plate 1322, and the support rod 1035 is arranged around the outline of the first side plate 1031; the upper end plate 1321 and the lower end plate 1322 are respectively hinged to the hinge rod 1034; the side of the support rod 1035 near the second end plate is locked by a nut 1036; a handrail 1037 is provided on the upper end plate 1321 and the lower end plate 1322.
[0033] Based on the above structure, the first side plate 1031, the second side plate 1032 and the guide plate 1033 form a cavity structure that limits the position of the cigar blank 1007. At the same time, the nut 1036 on the second end plate can be removed, and the upper end plate 1321 and the lower end plate 1322 can be rotated and opened through the handle 1037 to realize quick internal inspection or troubleshooting of the cigar blank 1007.
[0034] As an example, the guide assembly 1006 may include a conveying section 1061, a first baffle 1062 and a second baffle 1063; the first baffle 1062 is disposed between the second baffle 1063 and the conveying section 1061, the second baffle 1063 is vertically disposed, and the second baffle 1063 includes a first inclined plate 1631 that cooperates with the conveying section 1061 and a second inclined plate 1632 that cooperates with the second baffle 1063;
[0035] The conveying unit 1061 may include a power roller 1611, a first driven roller 1612, a second driven roller 1613, a third driven roller 1614, and a conveyor belt 1615; the conveyor belt 1615 is sleeved between the power roller 1611, the first driven roller 1612, the second driven roller 1613, and the third driven roller 1614, the first driven roller 1612 and the second driven roller 1613 are on the same horizontal plane, and the third driven roller 1614 is located between the first driven roller 1612 and the power roller 1611; a support plate 1616 may be provided in at least a part of the bottom area of the conveyor belt 1615.
[0036] Based on the above structure, when the power roller 1611 is driven, it will synchronously drive the conveyor belt 1615 to move, so that the cigar blank 1007 moves in a fixed direction. By setting the support plate 1616, the support force between the first driven roller 1612 and the second driven roller 1613 can be increased.
[0037] As an example, the inclined surface between the first driven roller 1612 and the power roller 1611 is directly opposite to the first inclined plate 1631, forming a first guide channel for the cigar blank 1007, and a second guide channel is formed between the second inclined plate 1632 and the second baffle 1063.
[0038] Based on the above structure, the cigar blank 1007 is guided to the front end of the dispensing component 1005 through the first guide channel. When too much material piles up at the front end, the cigar blank 1007 will move from the second guide channel to the rear end of the dispensing component 1005, thus preventing the material from piling up at the top of the middle area of the dispensing component 1005. This would prevent the cigar blank 1007 from becoming too heavy and damaging the bottom cigar blank 1007 when the dispensing roller rotates. In short, this depressurizes the cigar blank 1007 at the upper end of the dispensing component 1005.
[0039] As an example, the material distribution assembly 1005 may include a material distribution drum 1051, a material feeding transfer plate 1052, and an anti-jamming wheel 1053; the material feeding transfer plate 1052 is located close to the material distribution drum 1051, and the anti-jamming wheel 1053 is located in the area between the material distribution drum 1051 and the material feeding transfer plate 1052; the output end of the power assembly 1004 is connected to the center position of the material distribution drum 1051;
[0040] The output end of the power assembly 1004 is provided with a first transmission tooth 1041; the outer side of the anti-jamming wheel 1053 is provided with a second transmission tooth 1042 that cooperates with the first transmission tooth 1041; a first belt 1043 is provided between the first transmission tooth 1041 and the second transmission tooth 1042; the first belt 1043 is sleeved between the first transmission tooth 1041 and the second transmission tooth 1042.
[0041] A third transmission tooth 1044 and a fourth transmission tooth 1045 are provided near the second transmission tooth 1042. The third transmission tooth 1044 and the fourth transmission tooth 1045 are respectively connected to the first side plate 1031. The second transmission tooth 1042 meshes with the third transmission tooth 1044, and the fourth transmission tooth 1045 meshes with the third transmission tooth 1044. A fifth transmission tooth 1046 is provided on the outer side of the power roller 1611. A second belt 1047 is provided between the fifth transmission tooth 1046 and the fourth transmission tooth 1045.
[0042] A sixth transmission tooth 1048 is provided on the outer side of the material feeding and receiving plate 1052, and a third belt 1049 is provided between the sixth transmission tooth 1048 and the third transmission tooth 1044.
[0043] Based on the above structure, when the power component 1004 is activated, it directly drives the material distribution drum 1051 to rotate. At the same time, through transmission, it sequentially drives the material feeding transfer plate 1052, the anti-jamming wheel 1053, and the power roller 1611 to rotate, achieving overall drive. This solution only requires one power component 1004 to achieve linkage, reducing the overall cost and also reducing the difficulty of later maintenance.
[0044] As an example, the power assembly 1004 includes a hopper motor 1410 and a motor support plate 1411. The motor support plate 1411 is connected to the first side plate 1031, and the hopper motor 1410 is mounted on the motor support plate 1411.
[0045] Based on the above structure, most of the weight of the hopper motor 1410 ladder is supported by the motor support plate 1411, and part of the weight is supported by the rotating bearing on the first side.
[0046] As an example, the circumferential distribution drum 1051 is evenly provided with a plurality of material loading grooves 1054 adapted to the size of the cigar blank 1007. The distribution drum 1051 is also provided with a plurality of mating grooves 1055, and at least two mating grooves 1055 are provided along the width direction of the distribution drum 1051. The support of the first side plate 1031 and the second side plate 1032 is also provided with a material picking plate 1056, which is inserted into the mating groove 1055.
[0047] Based on the above mechanism, the rotation of the distributing drum 1051 causes the cigar blanks 1007 that fall into the loading trough 1054 to rotate. When they rotate to the picking plate 1056, the cigar blanks 1007 are picked up by the picking plate 1056 and enter the feeding transfer tray 1052, realizing the fine loading and transfer. In this solution, the distributing drum 1051, the feeding transfer tray 1052 and the picking plate 1056 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0048] As an example, a clamping plate 1057 is provided at the junction of the material distribution drum 1051 and the material feeding transfer plate 1052 on the lower side of the anti-jamming wheel 1053. The outline of the clamping plate 1057 on the side near the material distribution drum 1051 matches the outermost arc of the material distribution drum 1051, and the outline of the clamping plate 1057 on the side near the anti-jamming wheel 1053 matches the outermost arc of the anti-jamming wheel 1053.
[0049] Based on the above structure, during operation, the distributing drum 1051 moves clockwise. At the junction of the anti-jamming wheel 1053 and the distributing drum 1051, excess cigar blanks 1007 are isolated, ensuring that only one cigar blank 1007 can pass between the jamming plate 1057 and the distributing drum 1051. During the feeding process, the anti-jamming wheel 1053 also rotates clockwise, and its outer diameter linear velocity is greater than that of the distributing drum 1051. This ensures that round-headed cigar blanks that have not fallen into the material loading groove 1054 of the distributing drum 1051 will not be jammed, thus avoiding damage to the cigar blanks 1007.
[0050] As an example, baffle plates 1058 can also be provided on both sides of the feeding plate 1057. When the feeding transfer plate 1052 removes the cigar blank 1007, the baffle plates 1058 limit its two ends during rotation to prevent the cigar blank 1007 from falling out of the predetermined position.
[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
