Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing technology in the tobacco industry, specifically to a device for measuring the initial tack of water-based adhesive for tobacco with replaceable tubing. Background Technology

[0002] The adhesion ability of water-based adhesives for tobacco to packaging materials is divided into initial tack and holding power. Initial tack is an important indicator for measuring the adhesion between two surfaces and has a significant impact on the machine adaptability of water-based adhesives for tobacco.

[0003] Currently, the main research direction for water-based adhesives is to study the performance of water-based adhesives with different formulations. Therefore, the initial tack test has become an important reference standard.

[0004] In the formulation comparison experiment, the initial tack strength test is conducted using a large number of different adhesive ratios. This is the main part and also the part with the largest workload. Using the traditional manual testing method is not only wasteful of manpower and inefficient, but also unstable.

[0005] When comparing different adhesive ratios, the most important aspect of the initial tack strength testing device is the process of switching between different adhesives. How to mechanize and automate this process is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technological solution. Utility Model Content

[0016] Based on the above, the placement positions of the rubber tubes on the rubber tube frame are formed by several support holes on the rubber tube frame, and the support holes are arranged in a straight line or a matrix.

[0017] Based on the above, the robotic arm is a horizontally deployable claw-type robotic arm, which is installed on the movable end of the lifting and transferring mechanism. The lifting and transferring mechanism is installed as a whole on the movable end of the horizontal transferring mechanism, forming a secondary moving platform.

[0018] Based on the above, the rubber tube clamping mechanism includes a clamping translation mechanism and a clamping mechanism.

[0020] Based on the above, the rubber tube plug removal assembly is a plate with a tongue and groove joint, and the plate is fixed to the side of the platform near the rubber tube frame.

[0021] Based on the above, a waste box is installed below the side of the platform near the rubber tube frame.

[0022] Based on the above, the tip of the injection plug is provided with a piercing point.

[0023] Based on the above, the lifting and transferring mechanism, the horizontal transferring mechanism, the clamping and translating mechanism, the injection plug lifting mechanism, the pressure head lifting mechanism, and the platform translating mechanism are all linear motor or electric lead screw assemblies.

[0024] Based on the above, a scraper is provided on one side of the waste box or platform.

[0025] This utility model has substantial features and progress compared to the prior art. Specifically, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0026] This invention is mainly used to conduct comparative experiments on the initial tack of different water-based adhesives. Based on the same initial tack testing device, initial tack experiments are conducted on water-based adhesives with different ratios and components to obtain the initial tack performance parameters of different adhesives.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a device for measuring the initial tack of water-based adhesive for tobacco with replaceable hoses includes a hose holder 100, a hose transfer robot 200, a hose clamping mechanism 300, an injection plug 400, a hose plug removal assembly 500, a translation platform 600, and a pressure head mechanism 700.

[0034] The glue tube rack 100 is provided with several glue tube placement positions for vertically placing several glue tubes 900. Specifically, in this embodiment, the glue tube placement positions are several support holes provided on the glue tube rack 100 for supporting the glue tubes 900.

[0035] In this embodiment, the glue cartridge 900 is syringe-shaped, and its top cavity is sealed with a sealing film 901. When in use, the sealing film is punctured and the glue is dispensed by pushing with the injection plug 400. The glue cartridge stopper 902 is installed at the glue dispensing port at the bottom of the glue cartridge 900. When in use, the glue cartridge stopper 902 is removed to expose the glue dispensing port.

[0036] The glue tube transfer robot 200 includes a robot 201, a lifting transfer mechanism 202, and a horizontal transfer mechanism 203, and is used to remove the glue tube 900 from the glue tube holder 100 and transfer it to the glue tube clamping mechanism 300.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the robotic arm 201 is a horizontally deployable claw-type robotic arm. The claw-type robotic arm is installed on the movable end of the lifting and transferring mechanism 202. The lifting and transferring mechanism 202 is installed on the movable end of the horizontal transferring mechanism 203 to form a secondary movable platform, which has completed the lifting and translating actions. The lifting action is used to lift the rubber tube 900 out of the support hole of the rubber tube frame, and the translating action is applied to the docking rubber tube clamping mechanism 300 to transfer the rubber tube.

[0038] The rubber tube clamping mechanism 300 is used to horizontally clamp the rubber tube 900. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rubber tube clamping mechanism 300 includes a clamping translation mechanism 301 and a clamping mechanism 302. The movement direction of the clamping translation mechanism 301 is consistent with the movement direction of the horizontal transfer mechanism 203. The clamping mechanism 302 is installed on the movable end of the clamping translation mechanism 301. The clamping surface of the clamping mechanism 302 is an arc surface that fits the rubber tube.

[0039] The injection stopper 400 includes an injection stopper lifting mechanism 401, a movable stopper rod 402, and a stopper head 403. The injection stopper lifting mechanism 401 drives the stopper head 403 to rise and fall via the movable stopper rod 402, and is used to cooperate with the glue cartridge 900 for dispensing glue. The movable stopper rod 402 and the stopper head 403 of the injection stopper 400 cooperate with the glue cartridge 900 to form a syringe structure. The end of the stopper head of the injection stopper is provided with a piercing tip.

[0040] The plug removal assembly 500 is used to remove the plug 902 at the bottom of the glue tube. In this embodiment, the plug removal assembly 500 is a plate with a tongue and groove joint. The tongue and groove joint is V-shaped in this embodiment, and the width of its effective position is smaller than the width of the plug 902, thereby enabling the plug 902 to be removed. In this embodiment, the plate is installed on the side of the platform near the glue tube frame. To collect the plug 902 and the waste glue from the front end, a waste box 603 is installed below the tongue and groove joint, which moves with the platform.

[0041] A scraper 604 is provided on one side of the waste box 603 or the platform.

[0042] The translation stage 600 is used to carry the sample and switch positions between the dispensing station below the glue tube and the testing station below the pressure head mechanism. Specifically, in this embodiment, the translation stage 600 includes a stage translation mechanism 601 and a stage 602 installed at the movable end of the stage translation mechanism 601. The movement direction of the stage translation mechanism 601 is consistent with the movement direction of the horizontal transfer mechanism 203.

[0043] The pressure head mechanism 700 includes a pressure head lifting mechanism 701 and a flat pressure head 702, which is used to install another sample. The flat pressure head is equipped with a tensile and compressive force sensor and works with a translation stage to conduct an initial adhesion test.

[0044] The pressure head mechanism 700 is equipped with tension and compression sensors around the planar pressure head 702 to sense the pressure applied by the planar pressure head 702 and the force situation during separation.

[0045] In this embodiment, the lifting and transferring mechanism, the horizontal transferring mechanism, the clamping and translating mechanism, the injection plug lifting mechanism, the pressure head lifting mechanism, and the platform translating mechanism are all linear motor or electric lead screw assemblies, which have high operating accuracy.

[0046] Working principle explanation:

[0047] The entire experiment revolves around simulated cigarette paper samples and water-based adhesive. The samples are made by attaching cigarette paper to a relatively rigid board. Each experiment requires two samples. One sample is fixed to the lower end of the flat pressure head 702 with the paper side facing down, and the other sample is placed on the upper end of the stage 602 with the paper side facing up. The methods of fixing the sample to the pressure head and stage are diverse. It can be temporarily fixed by negative pressure adsorption or by double-sided adhesive.

[0048] At the start of the experiment, the two samples are first fixed on the indenter 702 and the stage 602 by manual or robotic means.

[0049] The glue tube transfer robot 200 takes a glue tube 900 from the glue tube holder 100 and transfers the glue tube 900 to the glue tube plug removal assembly 500. Through lifting and translation control, the glue tube plug at the bottom of the glue tube 900 is inserted into the groove. Then, it moves up a short distance to remove the glue tube plug. After removing the glue tube plug, it waits for the glue tube clamping mechanism 300 at this location to clamp and fix the glue tube. The glue tube transfer robot then leaves and returns to its original position.

[0050] The glue cartridge clamping mechanism 300 moves horizontally to below the injection plug 400, and the translation stage 600 drives the waste box 603 to move horizontally to below the injection plug 400. The injection plug 400 moves downward, punctures the sealing film to form a syringe mechanism, and then continues to move downward to push out the glue of the set amount at the front end, which falls into the waste box 603. If there is glue residue at the glue nozzle of the glue cartridge, the translation stage moves and drives the glue scraper 604 to scrape off the excess glue.

[0051] After preparation, the translation stage 600 is adjusted to move the stage 602 below the dispensing nozzle of the glue tube, and the injection plug 400 is moved down a set distance to squeeze out a drop of glue.

[0052] The translation stage 600 carries the sample with glue to the bottom of the pressure head mechanism. The pressure head mechanism moves down and glues the cigarette paper side of another sample to the cigarette paper side of the sample on the stage.

[0053] After a set time, the pressure head mechanism moves upward, and the pressure value during the upward movement is recorded. The maximum pressure value is recorded as the initial adhesion value.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, it is also necessary to record the downward distance, downward speed, initial pressure, holding pressure, and holding time of the pressure head mechanism in order to obtain more multi-dimensional parameter information.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
