Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing technology, specifically to a tobacco tube insertion mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of existing cigarette tube processing technology, especially on production lines for tobacco processing and cigarette manufacturing, the automated processing and precise positioning of cigarette tubes has always been a technical challenge. Traditional methods of unloading cigarette tubes often involve simple gravity dropping or direct mechanical pushing into fixtures, which frequently presents numerous problems.

[0003] First, because the stacking state of the flue pipes in the hopper may be unstable, direct falling can easily lead to the flue pipes being misaligned or even causing blockages, affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] Secondly, traditional pushing mechanisms often cannot accurately align and correct the flue, resulting in inaccurate positions of the flue in the fixture, which further affects the smooth progress of subsequent processes. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a smoke pipe pushing and inserting mechanism, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flue push-insertion mechanism, comprising a base plate, a flue push module, an alignment correction module, a discharge plate, and a hopper mounted on the upper part of the base plate. The mechanism achieves orderly feeding and pushing of the flue through the coordinated action of the flue push module, the alignment correction module, and the discharge plate, thereby avoiding flue blockage.

[0007] Furthermore, the smoke tube pushing module includes a first linear guide rail, a drive motor, a movable seat, several push rods, a rotating arm, and a transmission rod. The drive motor drives the movable seat to slide on the first linear guide rail through the rotating arm and the transmission rod, thereby causing the push rods to move back and forth synchronously to push the smoke tube.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the rotating arm is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor, and the other end extends outward and is rotatably connected to the movable seat through a transmission rod, forming an eccentric connection structure, so that the rotation of the rotating arm is converted into the linear movement of the movable seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the alignment correction module includes a guide plate, a second linear guide rail, a cylinder, a receiving plate, several guide holes, and several dropping grooves, wherein the cylinder drives the receiving plate to reciprocate on the second linear guide rail, and the vibration causes the smoke pipe to fall completely into the dropping groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the hopper is positioned across the top of the alignment and correction module, and its bottom is provided with a through hole corresponding to the push rod, for feeding the smoke pipe into the material drop trough of the alignment and correction module.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge plate is provided with discharge holes corresponding to the push rod, and the number and position of the push rod, guide hole, discharge groove, through hole and discharge hole are all corresponding to ensure that the push rod can accurately push the flue to the outside of the discharge hole.

[0012] This utility model provides a smoke pipe pushing and inserting mechanism. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0013] This flue tube pushing and inserting mechanism, through the ingenious combination of a base plate, a flue tube pushing module, an alignment and correction module, a discharge plate, and a hopper, achieves orderly feeding, automatic alignment and correction, and efficient pushing of flue tubes, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality. Specifically, firstly, the flue tube pushing and inserting mechanism uses an alignment and correction module as a transition, allowing the flue tubes falling from the hopper to be corrected and organized before being pushed to the discharge plate. This method effectively avoids the blockage problem that may be caused by the flue tubes falling directly into the fixture, ensuring the smooth operation of the production line. Secondly, the cylinder in the alignment and correction module drives the receiving plate to move back and forth, and the vibration causes the flue tube to fall completely into the feeding trough, achieving automatic alignment and correction of the flue tube. This design improves the positioning accuracy of the flue tube in the fixture, laying a solid foundation for the smooth operation of subsequent processes. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a smoke tube pushing and inserting mechanism, which consists of a base plate 1, a smoke tube pushing module 2, an alignment correction module 3, a discharge plate 4, and a hopper 5. The smoke tube pushing module 2, the alignment correction module 3, the discharge plate 4, and the hopper 5 are all installed on the upper part of the base plate 1. The hopper 5 is positioned horizontally above the alignment correction module 3. Many layers of smoke tubes (not shown in the figure) are stacked inside the hopper 5. The bottom layer of smoke tubes will be fed into the alignment correction module 3. The smoke tube pushing module 2 and the discharge plate 4 are located on both sides of the alignment correction module 3. The smoke tube pushing module 2 can simultaneously push several smoke tubes fed into the alignment correction module 3 to the discharge plate 4. With the smoke tube pushing module 2, the alignment correction module 3, and the discharge plate 4 as a transition, the smoke tubes can be fed in an orderly manner, thereby avoiding the problem of smoke tubes falling directly from the hopper 5 into the fixture and causing blockage in the original technology.

[0025] Specifically, the smoke tube pushing module 2 consists of a first linear guide rail 21, a drive motor 22, a movable seat 23, several push rods 24, a rotating arm 25, and a transmission rod 26. The first linear guide rail 21 and the drive motor 22 are both mounted on the top of the base plate 1. The movable seat 23 can slide on the first linear guide rail 21. Several push rods 24 are all mounted on the ends of the movable seat 23. One end of the rotating arm 25 is connected and fixed to the driving end of the drive motor 22. One end of the rotating arm 25 extends outward and is connected to the transmission rod 26 together with the movable seat 23. The transmission rod 26 is rotatably connected to the rotating arm 25 and the movable seat 23.

[0026] When the smoke tube pushing module 2 is working, the drive motor 22 drives the rotating arm 25 to rotate. This is equivalent to the rotating arm 25 being eccentrically connected. The end of the rotating arm 25 extending outward will make a circular trajectory. When the rotating arm 25 rotates in a circular trajectory, it will pull or push the transmission rod 26 to move, which will cause the movable seat 23 to reciprocate along the first linear guide rail 21, thereby driving several push rods 24 to reciprocate synchronously.

[0027] The alignment and correction module 3 consists of a guide plate 31, a second linear guide rail 32, a cylinder 33, a receiving plate 34, several guide holes 35, and several material dropping grooves 36. The guide plate 31, the second linear guide rail 32, and the cylinder 33 are all installed on the top of the base plate 1. The receiving plate 34 slides on the upper part of the second linear guide rail 32. The telescopic end of the cylinder 33 is connected to the side of the receiving plate 34. When the cylinder 33 telescopically extends or retracts, the receiving plate 34 will reciprocate. Several guide holes 35 and several material dropping grooves 36 are respectively opened inside the guide plate 31 and the receiving plate 34.

[0028] When the alignment and correction module 3 is working, the smoke pipe will fall into several material drop troughs 36. After falling in, the smoke pipe may not fall completely into the material drop trough 36. Therefore, the cylinder 33 needs to extend and retract to drive the receiving plate 34 to move back and forth. During the reciprocating movement, the smoke pipe will fall completely into the inside of the material drop trough 36 due to vibration, so that several push rods 24 can push the smoke pipe out of the feeding plate 4 (it should be noted that the diameter of the push rod 24 needs to be slightly larger than the diameter of the smoke pipe).

[0029] In addition, through holes 51 corresponding to several push rods 24 are opened from the bottom of the hopper 5, and discharge holes 41 corresponding to several push rods 24 are also opened inside the discharge plate 4. That is to say, the number and position of push rods 24, guide holes 35, material troughs 36, through holes 51 and discharge holes 41 are all corresponding and on the same horizontal line, so that push rods 24 can push the flue to the outside of discharge holes 41.
