Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of tobacco processing technology, and more specifically, relates to a material loading fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, when manually filling tobacco, empty tobacco tubes are typically placed one by one into a special sleeve for positioning, and then tobacco is filled into each empty tube sequentially. The filled tobacco tubes are then weighed to determine if the filling amount meets the standard. If too much or too little tobacco is filled, the worker needs to adjust the amount of tobacco in the tube accordingly. Therefore, the above operations are cumbersome, fragmented, inefficient, and difficult to quantitatively fill.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a material filling fixture to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a material filling fixture to solve the technical problems of low manual efficiency and difficulty in quantitative filling when manually filling tobacco in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a material filling fixture is provided, including a positioning component and a metering component. The positioning component has a limiting plane and a plurality of positioning holes for positioning the smoke tube. One end of each positioning hole penetrates the limiting plane and forms an opening for inserting the smoke tube. The metering component has metering holes that correspond one-to-one with the positioning holes. The depth of each metering hole is equal. The metering component can fit against the limiting plane and make the metering holes misaligned or connected with the corresponding positioning holes.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning component includes a plurality of positioning elements arranged at intervals in sequence, each positioning element having a plurality of positioning holes, the corresponding positioning holes in different positioning elements forming the positioning holes, and the top of the positioning element located on the top side having the limiting plane.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning element includes a positioning plate, and the top surface of the positioning plate located on the top side is configured as the limiting plane.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning component further includes fixing members, at least three of which are arranged at intervals along the contour direction of the positioning plate, and the fixing members sequentially pass through multiple positioning plates and are connected to each of them.

[0009] Preferably, the metering component includes a metering plate, and the metering orifice is disposed on the metering plate.

[0010] Preferably, the metering plates are a plurality of plates stacked sequentially, and the corresponding metering holes on the plurality of metering plates are interconnected.

[0011] Preferably, adjacent metering plates are detachably connected.

[0012] Preferably, adjacent metering plates are detachably bonded together, or adjacent metering plates are magnetically connected.

[0013] Preferably, adjacent metering plates are connected by hook and loop fasteners.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the material loading fixture provided in this application are as follows:

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this application achieves uniform tobacco filling by pre-filling the metering orifice when the metering orifice and positioning orifice are misaligned. This ensures consistent material flow in each positioning orifice when they are connected, thereby guaranteeing the metered filling of tobacco in each pipe. Furthermore, the unified filling of multiple metering orifices and the unified receiving of multiple positioning orifices avoid the need for a single pipe-based filling process, significantly reducing operational steps, improving ease of operation, and increasing labor efficiency.

[0023] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0024] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0025] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0026] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0027] The following is combined Figures 1 to 3 This application describes the material loading fixture provided in the embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the material loading fixture of this application embodiment includes a positioning component 1 and a metering component 2. The positioning component 1 has a limiting plane 11 and a plurality of positioning holes 12 for positioning the smoke tube. One end of the positioning hole 12 penetrates the limiting plane 11 and forms an opening for inserting the smoke tube. The metering component 2 is provided with metering holes 21 corresponding one-to-one with the positioning holes 12. The depth of each metering hole 21 is equal. The metering component 2 can fit against the limiting plane 11 and make the metering holes 21 misaligned or connected with the corresponding positioning holes 12.

[0029] Specifically, the multiple positioning holes 12 are evenly distributed in a matrix.

[0030] This allows empty tobacco tubes to be placed one by one into different positioning holes 12 according to a preset arrangement, with the positioning holes 12 positioning the empty tobacco tubes within them. Then, the metering component 2 is attached to the limiting plane 11, first misaligning the metering holes 21 with the corresponding positioning holes 12, piling tobacco on the metering component 2, and then spreading it outwards. The tobacco will fall into and fill each metering hole 21 in sequence.

[0031] Excess tobacco is then scraped off and collected from the metering component 2. The metering component 2 can be slid against the limiting plane 11, making the metering hole 21 connected to the corresponding positioning hole 12. The tobacco in the metering hole 21 falls into the tobacco tube in the positioning hole 12 under gravity. This achieves metered filling, ensuring that the amount of tobacco in each tobacco tube is consistent, avoiding the process of repeatedly weighing and adding or subtracting tobacco. Furthermore, the unified filling of multiple metering holes 21 and the unified dropping of tobacco into the positioning holes 12 avoid the filling process based on a single tobacco tube, greatly reducing the number of operation steps, improving the convenience of operation, and increasing manual efficiency.

[0032] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning component 1 includes a plurality of positioning elements 13 arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction. Each positioning element 13 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 131. The corresponding positioning holes 131 in different positioning elements 13 constitute positioning holes 12. The top of the positioning element 13 located on the top side is provided with the aforementioned limiting plane 11.

[0033] The spaced arrangement of multiple positioning elements 13 not only achieves the formation of positioning holes 12, ensuring the support and positioning effect of the smoke pipe, but also creates gaps in the positioning assembly 1, reducing material consumption. This reduces material costs and prevents the positioning assembly 1 from being designed to be too large and bulky.

[0034] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 The positioning component 13 includes a positioning plate 132, and the top surface of the positioning plate 132 located on the top side is configured as a limiting plane 11.

[0035] Specifically, the positioning plate 132 is a steel plate. As a result, the positioning plate 132 has a planar structure, which makes it easy to form the limiting plane 11. At the same time, the plate structure of the positioning plate 132 is easy to manufacture and process.

[0036] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 The positioning component 1 also includes a fixing member 14, which is at least three in number and is arranged at intervals along the contour direction of the positioning plate 132. The fixing member 14 passes through the multiple positioning plates 132 in sequence and is connected to each of them.

[0037] Specifically, there are preferably three fixing members 14, and the lines connecting the three fixing members 14 form a triangle. The triangular layout of the fixing members 14 increases the stability of the connection of the positioning plate 132. The fixing member 14 can be a support rod extending vertically, which is fixedly connected to each positioning plate 132, and the lower end of the support rod protrudes below the bottom positioning plate 132. In this way, the lower ends of the three support rods form three feet for stable placement.

[0038] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 The metering component 2 includes a metering plate 22, and metering holes 21 are disposed on the metering plate 22. Specifically, the metering plate 22 is a steel plate.

[0039] The plate structure of the metering plate 22 easily forms metering holes 21 of equal depth. It can be understood that the metering holes 21 are through holes, and their depth is consistent with the thickness of the metering plate 22.

[0040] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The quantitative plates 22 are a number of plates stacked in sequence, and the corresponding quantitative holes 21 on the quantitative plates 22 are interconnected.

[0041] Therefore, when the demand for tobacco in the flue changes, the number of metering plates 22 can be increased or decreased to control the depth of the overall metering holes 21, that is, to control the depth of the combined and superimposed holes of the multiple metering holes 21 connected above, thereby controlling the amount of tobacco loaded in a single flue and achieving matching with the demand.

[0042] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 The adjacent quantitative plates 22 are detachably connected.

[0043] This allows for the temporary fixing of several metering plates 22, ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the metering component 2, facilitating the pre-loading of smoke material into the metering holes 21, and the transfer of smoke material into the positioning holes 12.

[0044] In some embodiments, adjacent metering plates 22 are detachably bonded together, or adjacent metering plates 22 are magnetically connected.

[0045] Specifically, adjacent metering plates 22 can be bonded together with sticky notes or tape, making them easy to peel off and allowing for repeated bonding. Alternatively, adjacent metering plates 22 can each have embedded magnets, achieving a stable connection through the magnetic attraction of the magnets.

[0046] Therefore, both adhesive and magnetic methods can achieve quick connection and separation of adjacent metering plates 22, which is convenient to use and the connection method has appropriate stability and reliability.

[0047] In some embodiments, adjacent metering plates 22 are connected by hook and loop fasteners.

[0048] In other words, adjacent metering plates 22 are connected by Velcro. Taking adjacent metering plates 22 as an example, one plate has a hook surface with small, hard barbs attached, while the other plate has a soft, fluffy velvet surface attached. When the hook surface and the velvet surface are pressed together, the barbs can hook onto the velvet, forming an interlocking fixation. For disassembly, the hook surface and velvet surface of the adjacent metering plates 22 can be separated simply by tearing, allowing for repeated opening and closing, which is simple and convenient.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
