Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tobacco curing equipment, specifically relating to a weighing and turning device for a tobacco loading mesh box. Background Technology

[0002] Before tobacco leaves are placed in the curing barn, they need to be secured with woven tobacco rods and clips. A large number of these rods or clips are then hung in layers inside the barn for curing. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also results in inconsistent tobacco quality. Furthermore, the process of farmers climbing up and down the barn to load the rods or clips sometimes presents safety risks. Existing technology includes a tobacco loading net box for outdoor loading. The net box is laid down during loading, and after the tobacco leaves are loaded, it is flipped over. Using this net box not only saves manpower and avoids the climbing involved in loading into the barn, but also improves tobacco quality and curing efficiency. While existing technologies utilize lifting devices to flip the loading net box, most tobacco curing barns do not have lifting devices. Additionally, traditional lifting devices are primarily designed for vertical lifting and lack precise control mechanisms for the flipping action. Chinese patent CN 205093568 U discloses an "outdoor tobacco loading device based on dense baking of loose leaf inserts." This device uses a traction rope and controller to achieve vertical lifting and lowering of the loose leaf tobacco loading net box frame, and is equipped with rollers to enhance mobility. The lifting equipment and roller system improve the tobacco loading efficiency. However, its structure is complex, relying on motor drive and signal line control, which increases the equipment cost and maintenance difficulty.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN 104872808 A discloses "A Tilting Table for a Cigarette Hanger", which uses a hydraulic cylinder to drive the L-shaped tilting table main frame to achieve a 90° tilt of the cigarette hanger, reducing the intensity of manual operation. However, this device is mainly for cigarette hangers with simple structure and small size, and is not suitable for large cigarette mesh boxes. In addition, this device is separate from the cigarette loading function. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a weighing and tilting device for a smoke-filled mesh box.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved in the following manner: a weighing and turning device for a tobacco mesh box, comprising a turning platform base for placing the tobacco mesh box, an L-shaped turning frame hinged to one side of the turning platform base, the L-shaped turning frame comprising a turning plate and a track groove arranged perpendicularly to each other, the telescopic end of a turning drive mechanism hinged to the turning plate, the fixed end of the turning drive mechanism hinged to the turning platform base, the L-shaped turning frame achieving a 90° turn under the drive of the turning drive mechanism; weighing sensors are evenly arranged on the turning platform base.

[0006] There are two track slots, and each track slot has a flared end.

[0007] Reinforcing ribs are installed between the track groove and the bottom support of the flip plate.

[0008] Multiple loading screen rollers are installed on the upper surface of the tilting table base frame, and the loading screen slides on the loading screen rollers.

[0009] Limit blocks are installed on the three side frames of the base frame of the tilting table, in addition to the L-shaped tilting frame.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model can realize both the flipping of the tobacco loading box and the weighing of the tobacco. By combining the flipping and loading functions, the degree of automation is improved, the amount of manual work is reduced, and the work efficiency is increased. Attached Figure Description

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0012] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a weighing sensor. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the contents of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various modifications or alterations to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the present invention.

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, a weighing and tilting device for a tobacco mesh box includes a tilting platform base 1 for placing the tobacco mesh box 3. An L-shaped tilting frame 2 is hinged to one side of the tilting platform base 1. The L-shaped tilting frame 2 includes a tilting plate 21 and a track groove 22 arranged perpendicularly to each other. The telescopic end of a tilting drive mechanism 6 is hinged to the tilting plate 21. The fixed end of the tilting drive mechanism 6 is hinged to the tilting platform base 1. The L-shaped tilting frame 2 is tilted 90° under the drive of the tilting drive mechanism 6. Weighing sensors 7 are evenly arranged on the tilting platform base 1.

[0015] The tobacco loading box 3 has wheels at the bottom. The empty tobacco loading box 3 is manually pushed onto the L-shaped turning frame 2. The turning drive mechanism 6 turns it 90° and places it horizontally on the turning table base frame 1 for loading tobacco. The loading amount is monitored by the weighing sensor 7 on the turning table base frame 1. After loading, the tobacco leaves are fixed with pins. Then, the turning drive mechanism 6 turns the L-shaped turning frame 2 and the tobacco loading box 3 90° from horizontal to vertical. Then, it is pushed into the curing room for curing.

[0016] Furthermore, tobacco loading can be done manually. To improve automation and reduce manual labor, a tobacco leaf conveying device can be used. The feeding end of the conveying device is raised, allowing the tobacco leaves to fall from above into the loading box. The conveying device can be a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor.

[0017] The tilting plate 21 includes at least two horizontal supports and at least two vertical supports. To improve the stability of the structure, a third horizontal support is added between the two horizontal supports, and one or two more vertical supports are added between the third horizontal support and the two vertical supports. One end of the tilting drive mechanism is hinged to the third horizontal support located in the middle of the tilting plate 21. The track groove 22 is designed to facilitate the direct pushing of the smoke-filled mesh box 3 with wheels at the bottom into the L-shaped tilting frame 2, reducing the use of forklifts and improving operational flexibility. There are two track grooves 22, and each track groove 22 has a flared end 1213 at its end, which facilitates the adjustment of the wheels at the bottom of the smoke-filled mesh box so that it can smoothly enter the track groove 22.

[0018] A reinforcing rib is provided between the track groove 22 and the bottom support of the flip plate 21.

[0019] Multiple tobacco loading mesh box rollers 4 are set on the upper surface of the tilting table base frame 1, and the tobacco loading mesh box 3 slides on the tobacco loading mesh box rollers 4.

[0020] To prevent the tobacco loading box from tilting, limit blocks 5 are installed on the other three sides of the base frame 1 of the tilting table, in addition to the L-shaped tilting frame 2.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the overall concept of the present utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
