Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of tobacco testing, specifically designing a tobacco product manufacturing system and a tobacco testing instrument bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco contains a variety of substances, such as total sugar, reducing sugar, total nitrogen, nicotine, protein, and potassium. Therefore, during the production of tobacco products, it is necessary to test the physicochemical properties of the processed tobacco materials to ensure that the content of various substances in the produced tobacco meets the desired standards.

[0003] Reconstituted tobacco refers to a recycled product made from waste materials such as tobacco stems, dust, and broken tobacco leaves discarded during cigarette manufacturing. It is produced in sheet or shred form and used as a filling material for cigarettes. Reconstituted tobacco plays a vital role in cigarette production, not only reducing costs but also improving the intrinsic quality of cigarettes.

[0004] Product testing of reconstituted tobacco products is particularly important. Due to the large number of product grades and the differences in characteristics between them, it is necessary to frequently adjust the angle or position of the testing instruments according to different characteristics during the testing process to ensure the authenticity and validity of the collected data. Personnel errors or failure to adjust the testing instruments in a timely manner will cause uncertainty in the test results. In addition, as the production process of reconstituted tobacco products is constantly evolving and the processing equipment is continuously being updated and upgraded, the installation layout of equipment in the reconstituted tobacco product production system is diversified. Existing testing equipment cannot be fully adapted, and some testing positions cannot be fully covered. Utility Model Content

[0079] The detailed features and advantages of this application are described below in the specific embodiments. The content of this description is sufficient to enable any person skilled in the art to understand the technical content of this application and implement it accordingly. Based on the specification, claims and drawings disclosed in this specification, a person skilled in the art can easily understand the related objectives and advantages of this application.

[0080] It should be noted that in this specification, similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0081] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0082] Please refer to Figures 1-11 This patent provides an embodiment of a tobacco product manufacturing system, including a first tobacco conveying device 2000, a second tobacco conveying device 3000, a tobacco testing instrument support 1000, and a tobacco testing instrument 1100.

[0083] The first tobacco conveying device 2000 and the second tobacco conveying device 3000 are used to convey tobacco material. The first tobacco conveying device 2000 has a first installation position, and the second tobacco conveying device 3000 has a second installation position. A tobacco detection instrument is disposed on a tobacco detection instrument bracket 1000, which is configured to allow the tobacco detection instrument 1100 to be placed in a detection position near the tobacco material conveyed by the first tobacco conveying device 2000 or the second tobacco conveying device 3000.

[0084] For example, Figures 1-3 Three different tobacco detection positions are shown, wherein a first tobacco conveying device 2000 conveys a first tobacco material 2100, and a second tobacco conveying device 3000 conveys a second tobacco material 3100. The first tobacco conveying device 2000 and the second tobacco conveying device 3000 may have different heights and are connected by a feeding device.

[0085] As a further example, the tobacco product manufacturing system can be a production line for reconstituted tobacco using the slurry process. Specifically, the first tobacco conveying device 2000 is a conveyor belt in the forming device, and the second tobacco conveying device 3000 is a conveyor belt in the drying device. The first tobacco material 2100 is the tobacco slurry material being formed, and the second tobacco material 3100 is the tobacco sheet being dried. During the production process, the characteristics of the tobacco material at different locations need to be monitored, i.e., detected by a tobacco detection device.

[0086] As a further example, the tobacco product manufacturing system can be a tobacco product drying production line, wherein the first tobacco conveying device 2000 is specifically a conveyor belt in a primary drying unit, the second tobacco conveying device 3000 is specifically a conveyor belt in a secondary drying unit, the first tobacco material 2100 is the primary dried tobacco product, and the second tobacco material 3100 is the secondary dried tobacco product. During the production process, the characteristics of the tobacco material at different locations need to be monitored, i.e., detected by a tobacco detection device.

[0087] The tobacco testing instrument bracket 1000 includes a lifting and rotating mechanism and a horizontal moving mechanism; the lifting and rotating mechanism includes a fixed part 5 and a moving part 1; the fixed part 5 is fixedly installed, and the moving part 1 is movably connected to the fixed part 5 and can rotate relative to the fixed part 5.

[0088] Specifically, the fastener 5 is fixedly mounted by a base, on which a base bolt 503 is provided.

[0089] The horizontal moving mechanism includes a horizontal guide 3 and a connecting member 4. The horizontal guide 3 is fixedly disposed on the moving member 1, and the connecting member 4 is used to connect the tobacco detection instrument 1100. The connecting member 4 is movably disposed on the horizontal guide 3.

[0090] The tobacco testing instrument bracket 1000 in this patent can rotate, rise and fall, and move in the horizontal plane, giving the tobacco testing instrument multiple degrees of freedom. This allows it to adapt to different process equipment in most tobacco product manufacturing systems, meeting the instrument's need for comprehensive, blind-spot-free testing. The plug-in fixed and moving parts have a small volume, reducing the difficulty of layout design in the production space and avoiding interference with other equipment.

[0091] Specifically, the lifting and rotating mechanism may include a rotating shaft 7, which is rotatably mounted on the fixed member 5. The moving member 1 is non-rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 7. The rotating shaft 7 includes a first positioning part, and the moving member 1 includes a second positioning part. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, the first and second positioning parts cooperate to make the moving member 1 rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 7. The fixed member 5 is specifically a fixed bushing, and the moving member 1 is specifically a supporting bushing.

[0092] More specifically, the rotating shaft 7 includes a first bearing section 701, a second bearing section 702, and a positioning plane 703. The fixing member 5 includes a first bearing 501 and a second bearing 502. The first bearing section 701 rotatably engages with the first bearing 501, and the second bearing section 702 rotatably engages with the second bearing 502. The positioning plane 703 forms a first positioning part, which forms a planar fit with a planar structure of substantially the same shape on the inner side of the moving member 1, causing the moving member 1 to rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 7.

[0093] Specifically, the outer side wall of the moving part 1 includes a first cylindrical structure, and the inner side wall of the fixing part 5 includes a second cylindrical structure. The cross-sectional diameter of the second cylindrical structure is not less than that of the first cylindrical structure. The matching cylindrical structure is more suitable for insertion and rotation, and has a smaller volume.

[0094] Specifically, the lifting and rotating mechanism also includes a rotation positioning component, which has a locked state and a free state. In the locked state, the moving part 1 cannot rotate relative to the fixed part 5; in the free state, the moving part 1 can rotate relative to the fixed part 5. The rotation positioning component is used to lock the relative rotational movement of the moving part 1 and the fixed part 5, which can prevent unplanned relative rotation during the detection process.

[0095] More specifically, the rotating positioning component includes a positioning tooth 104 and a hinge lever 504. The positioning tooth 104 is disposed in one of the moving component 1 and the fixed component 5, and the hinge lever 504 is disposed in the other of the moving component 1 and the fixed component 5. When the hinge lever 504 moves into the gap of the positioning tooth 104, it forms a locked state; when the hinge lever 504 moves out of the gap of the positioning tooth 104, it forms a free state.

[0096] Specifically, the lifting and rotating mechanism also includes a lifting component 2, which is used to drive the moving component 1 axially closer to or further away from the fixed component 5.

[0097] More specifically, the lifting component 2 includes a lifting screw 201 and an adjusting handle 202, and the moving component includes a lifting thread, which is provided on the lifting nut 101. The lifting component 2 and the moving component 1 are connected by the lifting screw 201 and the lifting nut 101, and the end of the lifting component 2 abuts against the rotating shaft 7. Rotating the adjusting handle 202 can cause the lifting screw 201 to lift or lower the moving component 1, thereby driving the moving component 1 axially closer to or further away from the fixed component 5.

[0098] In addition, the moving part 1 also includes an axial positioning hole 102 and a positioning bolt 103. The positioning bolt 103, which is disposed in the axial positioning hole 102, is used to abut against the positioning plane 703 to form an axial lock, which can prevent the moving part 1 from moving axially unplanned during the testing process.

[0099] Specifically, the horizontal guide 3 includes a guide seat 301, a first guide post 302, a second guide post 303, and a threaded shaft 304. The guide seat 301 includes a first positioning hole 306 for mounting the first guide post 302, a second positioning hole 307 for mounting the second guide post 303, and a connecting fixing plate 305 for connecting the moving part 1.

[0100] Connector 4 includes a sliding seat 401, a blade shaft 402 and a motor 403. The sliding seat 401 includes a first sliding limit hole 404 and a second sliding limit hole 405.

[0101] The first sliding limiting hole 404 of the sliding seat 401 is fitted onto the first guide post 302, and the second sliding limiting hole 405 is fitted onto the second guide post 303. The blade shaft 402 meshes with the threaded shaft 304. When the motor 403 drives the blade shaft 402 to rotate, the sliding seat 401 is guided by the first guide post 302 and the second guide post 303, and moves along their length direction, causing the connecting member 4 and the tobacco detection instrument 1100 connected to the connecting member 4 to move. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 403, the connecting member 4 can reciprocate on the horizontal guide member 3.

[0102] Specifically, the connector 4 includes a universal adjustment part 6, which includes a fastening U-shaped plate 601, a first rod 606, a second rod 602, an adjustment block 604, a first locking member 605, and a second locking member 603. The adjustment block 604 includes a first hole, a second hole, and a locking hole. The first hole is opened along a first direction, and the second hole is opened along a second direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The first locking member 605 and the second locking member 603 are respectively disposed in the locking hole and can be locked to fix the adjustment block 604 to the first rod 606 and the second rod 602. The end of the second rod 602 is tightly connected to the mounting block by the fastening U-shaped plate 601. The tobacco testing instrument 1100 can be quickly connected to the mounting block and disposed at the end of the second rod 602. The universal adjustment unit 6 enables the tobacco detection instrument 1100 to have the function of quick fine adjustment of position. The lifting and rotating mechanism or the horizontal moving mechanism has a higher adjustment accuracy than the universal adjustment unit 6, but is not convenient for fine adjustment. The universal adjustment unit 6 can avoid the need to make adjustments through the lifting and rotating mechanism or the horizontal moving mechanism when only the position of the tobacco detection instrument 1100 needs to be finely adjusted.

[0103] In summary, this patent provides a bracket for a multi-dimensional testing instrument, giving the instrument multi-directional and multi-angle adjustment capabilities; it has the ability to adjust and lock vertically, rotate horizontally, lock horizontally, and adjust horizontally; the entire bracket for the multi-dimensional testing instrument gives the instrument all-round adjustment capabilities and self-locking capabilities in all directions, meeting the needs of different usage scenarios and significantly reducing the workload of personnel due to frequent adjustments to the position and angle of the testing instrument.

[0104] Similarly, it should be noted that although this application has been described with reference to specific embodiments, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate this application, and various equivalent changes or substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent. Therefore, any changes or modifications to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of this application will fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
