Description

A residual smoke removal device for YF17 cigarette storage unit Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette production technology, and in particular to a waste smoke treatment tool, specifically a residual smoke removal device for YF17 cigarette storage devices. Background Technology

[0002] In the actual production process of cigarette manufacturing enterprises, residual smoke is inevitably generated due to production or testing methods. Therefore, it is necessary to remove and clean the residual smoke from the cigarette storage device. Currently, in the most commonly used YF17 cigarette storage device, although a residual smoke box is located below the conveyor belt of the storage tank, the phenomenon of residual smoke adhering to the belt is serious. The belt is installed high up in the production workshop, making it difficult for operators on the ground to observe and clean. The existing removal and cleaning method is manual, requiring production personnel to climb and stand at a height to manually remove the residual smoke from the belt into the residual smoke box below.

[0003] Using this method to remove residual smoke can easily cause personal injury to operators due to the conveyor belts and other components, and prolonged work at height also increases the risk of injury. Furthermore, manual removal and cleaning is inefficient and physically demanding, posing a pressing problem for cigarette manufacturers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the serious problem of residual cigarettes adhering to the conveyor belts of current cigarette storage devices, and the issues of personal injury risks, low labor efficiency, and high intensity associated with manually removing residual cigarettes, this invention provides a residual cigarette removal device for YF17 cigarette storage devices.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0006] A residual smoke removal device for a YF17 cigarette storage unit includes a lower support plate installed between a smoke storage trough support and a belt. An upper support plate is hinged to the side of the lower support plate near the residual smoke box. Belt grooves that cooperate with the belt are fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the upper support plate. A retractable support frame is installed in the middle of the lower surface of the upper support plate. When the support frame is retracted to the lower surface of the upper support plate, the upper support plate and the lower support plate are in contact. When the support frame is released, the lower end of the support frame vertically supports the upper surface of the lower support plate.

[0007] In implementation, a lower support plate is installed between the smoke storage trough support and the belt. An upper support plate is hinged to the side of the lower support plate near the cigarette residue box. The lower support plate is installed directly below the belt. The belt tilts and runs under the support of the upper support plate. The edges of the upper support plate and the lower support plate are connected by hinges to facilitate the opening and closing of the upper and lower support plates. Belt grooves that cooperate with the belt are fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the upper support plate. The belt grooves include two belt grooves, left and right, which are arranged opposite each other. The distance between the two belt grooves is greater than the width of the belt. By bending the belt, the belt is clamped into the belt groove, i.e., between the two belt grooves, so that the belt is stably installed in the groove and the belt runs smoothly.

[0008] A retractable support frame is installed in the middle of the lower surface of the upper support plate. When the support frame is retracted to the lower surface of the upper support plate, the upper support plate and the lower support plate are in contact. When the support frame is released, the lower end of the support frame vertically supports the upper surface of the lower support plate, causing the upper support plate to tilt. As a result, the belt is inclined with the frame during operation, which facilitates the falling of residual smoke, which falls down the slope into the residual smoke box at the fixed position below. One end of the support frame is hinged to the lower surface of the upper support plate, and the hinge axis is parallel to the side edge of the upper support plate.

[0009] In use, the lower support plate is securely installed at the predetermined position between the smoke storage tank bracket and the original smoke storage tank belt, ensuring it is directly below the belt's running path. The belt is then bent so that its edges are embedded into the two oppositely arranged belt grooves on the left and right sides. The belt is smoothly secured between the two belt grooves, stably restraining it and preventing it from running off-track or derailing, ensuring smooth operation of the belt on the inclined upper support plate. In the initial state, the support frame is retracted, fitting against the lower surface of the upper support plate; at this time, the upper and lower support plates are in a closed, fitted state. When residual smoke needs to be cleaned, the support frame is rotated downwards from the retracted state to release it until it reaches its lower position. The upper support plate is vertically supported on the upper surface of the lower support plate, forcing the upper support plate to rise relative to the lower support plate and form a stable tilt angle. This causes the belt running path above the upper support plate to have the required outward tilt slope, with the bottom of the slope pointing towards the cigarette residue box. The belt starts to run on the tilted plane formed by the upper support plate. When a cigarette containing residual smoke moves to the area of ​​the device with the belt, under the action of the tilt slope, the residual smoke loses the full support of the belt. With the slight assistance of gravity and belt movement, it automatically slides off the belt and falls directly and continuously into the cigarette residue box placed in a fixed position below, completing the automatic removal and collection.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0011] The residual smoke removal device for YF17 cigarette storage device provided by this utility model completely eliminates the need for operators to frequently climb to heights for manual removal in the traditional method, and fundamentally avoids the major personal injury risks caused by working at heights (such as falling or slipping).

[0012] The belt groove and adjustable-angle upper support plate design of this utility model allow residual smoke to automatically slide off during smooth belt operation, avoiding pinching and abrasion injuries to operators caused by contact with mechanical parts. The automated rejection function utilizes a slope design and hinge connection structure to ensure that residual smoke continuously slides off into the residual smoke box, significantly replacing manual operation, reducing labor intensity and improving efficiency.

[0013] The device is easy and reliable to operate, the hinge connection facilitates angle adjustment, and the belt groove ensures operational stability, significantly reducing malfunctions and maintenance needs. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] A residual cigarette removal device for a YF17 cigarette storage unit, as shown in Figures 1-2, includes a lower support plate 4 installed between the cigarette storage trough support and the belt. An upper support plate 2 is hinged to the side of the lower support plate 4 near the residual cigarette box. The lower support plate 4 is installed directly below the belt. The belt operates at an incline under the support of the upper support plate 2. The edge of the upper support plate 2 is connected to the edge of the lower support plate 4 by a hinge 1, which facilitates the opening and closing of the upper and lower support plates 4. Belt grooves 5 that cooperate with the belt are fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the upper support plate 2. The belt grooves 5 include two belt grooves, left and right, which are arranged opposite each other and the distance between the two belt grooves is greater than the width of the belt. By bending the belt, the belt is clamped into the belt grooves 5, i.e., between the two belt grooves, so that the belt is stably installed in the grooves and the belt runs smoothly.

[0019] A retractable support frame 3 is installed in the middle of the lower surface of the upper support plate 2. When the support frame 3 is retracted to the lower surface of the upper support plate 2, the upper support plate 2 and the lower support plate 4 are in contact. When the support frame 3 is released, the lower end of the support frame 3 is vertically supported on the upper surface of the lower support plate 4, causing the upper support plate 2 to tilt. As a result, the belt is inclined with the frame during operation, which facilitates the falling of residual smoke, which falls down the slope into the residual smoke box at the fixed position below. One end of the support frame 3 is hinged to the lower surface of the upper support plate 2, and the hinge axis is parallel to the side edge of the upper support plate 2.

[0020] In use, the lower support plate 4 is securely installed at the predetermined position between the smoke storage tank bracket and the original smoke storage tank belt, ensuring it is directly below the belt's running path. The belt is bent so that its edges are respectively embedded into the two oppositely arranged belt grooves on the left and right sides. The belt can be smoothly clamped between the two belt grooves, stably restraining the belt and preventing it from running off-center or derailing, ensuring that the belt runs smoothly on the inclined upper support plate 2. In the initial state, the support frame 3 is retracted, so that it fits against the lower surface of the upper support plate 2. At this time, the upper support plate 2 and the lower support plate 4 are in a closed, fitted state. When it is necessary to clean the residual smoke, the support frame 3 is rotated downwards from the retracted state to release it until it is lowered. The upper support plate 2 is vertically supported on the upper surface of the lower support plate 4, forcing the upper support plate 2 to rise relative to the lower support plate 4 and form a stable tilt angle. This causes the belt running path installed above the upper support plate 2 to have the required outward tilt slope, with the bottom of the slope pointing towards the cigarette residue box. The belt starts to run on the tilted plane formed by the upper support plate 2. When the cigarette containing residual smoke moves to the area of ​​the device with the belt, under the action of the tilt slope, the residual smoke loses the full support of the belt. With the slight assistance of gravity and belt movement, it automatically slides off the belt and falls directly and continuously into the cigarette residue box placed at a fixed position below, completing the automatic removal and collection.

[0021] The scope of protection claimed by this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Moreover, for those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications and alterations. Any modifications, improvements, and equivalent substitutions made within the concept and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
