Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette sampling technology, specifically to an adjustable sampling wheel. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous updating and adoption of cigarette materials and production technologies, cigarette products have become more personalized and differentiated. In addition to traditional specifications, new products with different thicknesses and lengths are constantly emerging.

[0003] During the production process, samples need to be taken from the production site to inspect product quality and physical indicators (length, circumference, hardness, weight, etc.) and compare them with product technical documents. In actual testing, equipment such as a cigarette comprehensive testing platform is needed to automatically test cigarette samples taken from the site. The cigarette comprehensive testing platform is equipped with sampling wheels for sampling cigarettes. However, in existing technology, the sampling wheels on the cigarette comprehensive testing platform cannot be dynamically adjusted according to cigarettes of different diameters. This necessitates changing different cigarette comprehensive testing platforms or sampling wheels for different cigarette sizes, which limits the sampling work. Therefore, this invention provides an adjustable sampling wheel. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable sampling wheel that can be adjusted according to cigarettes of different diameters.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable sampling wheel includes an outer shell, within which a roller inner shell is fitted. The sidewall of the roller inner shell contacts the inner wall of the outer shell. End caps are fixedly installed at both ends of the roller inner shell. The outer shell has a first smoke inlet hole and a smoke outlet hole. The roller inner shell has a second smoke inlet hole. A slider sleeve is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the roller inner shell. The slider sleeve has a hollow portion that corresponds to the second smoke inlet hole. An adjusting slider is inserted into the hollow portion of the slider sleeve. A drive mechanism for controlling the up-and-down movement of the adjusting slider is also provided in the roller inner shell.

[0007] Furthermore, the width of the exhaust strip hole is greater than the width of the first smoke inlet strip hole, and the exhaust strip hole and the first smoke inlet strip hole form an angle with the center of the outer shell, which is 90º-180º.

[0008] Furthermore, the slider sleeve is provided with limit holes on both sides, and limit posts are provided on both sides of the adjusting slider, with the limit posts passing through the limit holes.

[0009] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is provided in the inner shell of the roller, and the drive mechanism is mounted on the mounting bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes an electromagnetic winding and a rotating rod. The electromagnetic winding is fixedly mounted on a mounting bracket, and the inner side of the electromagnetic winding is threaded. The rotating rod is threadedly connected to the inner side of the electromagnetic winding.

[0011] Furthermore, one end cap is connected to the motor output end, and the other end cap is rotatably connected to the side wall of the hopper.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features a roller inner shell within the outer casing. The rotation of the roller inner shell allows for cigarette sampling. During sampling, the cigarette is temporarily held at the top of an adjusting slider. The space formed between the top of the adjusting slider and the inner wall of the outer casing determines the space for accommodating the cigarette. This space is just large enough to allow one cigarette to pass through while others are blocked, achieving a single and orderly sampling process. A slider sleeve is provided within the roller inner shell, and an adjusting slider is housed within the slider sleeve. The adjusting slider extends and retracts vertically via a drive mechanism, allowing the depth of the cigarette-accommodating space to be adjusted according to the cigarette's diameter, thus accommodating sampling of cigarettes of different diameters.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0021] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] See Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an adjustable sampling wheel, including an outer shell 1, in which a roller inner shell 3 is fitted. The sidewall of the roller inner shell 3 contacts the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and the roller inner shell 3 can rotate freely within the outer shell 1. End caps 2 are fixedly installed on both ends of the roller inner shell 3. The outer shell 1 is provided with a first smoke inlet hole 1a and a smoke outlet hole 1b, and the roller inner shell 3 is provided with a second smoke inlet hole 3a. When the roller inner shell 3 rotates, the second smoke inlet hole 3a coincides with the first smoke inlet hole 1a and the smoke outlet hole 1b in sequence. Furthermore, the length dimensions of the second smoke inlet hole 3a, the first smoke inlet hole 1a, and the smoke outlet hole 1b are all... The length of the longest cigarette is set to complete the cigarette taking and discharging action. A slider sleeve 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner shell 3 of the roller. The slider sleeve 7 has a hollow part, which corresponds to the second cigarette bar inlet hole 3a. An adjusting slider 8 is inserted into the hollow part of the slider sleeve 7. Preferably, the top of the adjusting slider 8 is arc-shaped. During the cigarette bar sampling process, a receiving space for accommodating the cigarette is formed between the top of the adjusting slider 8 and the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A drive mechanism for controlling the up and down movement of the adjusting slider 8 is also provided in the inner shell 3 of the roller. Since the adjusting slider 8 can be adjusted up and down, the depth of the receiving space can be adjusted to adapt to cigarettes of different diameter specifications.

[0024] When the sampling wheel is installed, one end cap 2 is connected to the motor output end, thereby driving the inner shell 3 of the roller to rotate. The other end cap 2 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the hopper, while the outer shell 1 is fixedly installed at the lowest point inside the sample material hopper.

[0025] Furthermore, the width of the exhaust strip hole 1b is greater than the width of the first smoke inlet strip hole 1a, and the exhaust strip hole 1b and the first smoke inlet strip hole 1a form an angle with the center of the outer shell 1, which is 90º-180º.

[0026] It is worth noting that during installation, the first smoke inlet hole 1a should face upwards, while the exhaust hole 1b should face downwards.

[0027] In some embodiments, the slider sleeve 7 is provided with limiting holes 7a on both sides, the limiting holes 7a are strip-shaped, and limiting posts 8a are provided on both sides of the adjusting slider 8. The limiting posts 8a pass through the limiting holes 7a, so that the vertical movement range of the adjusting slider 8 is limited by the limiting holes 7a.

[0028] The inner shell 3 of the roller is provided with a mounting bracket 4, and the drive mechanism is mounted on the mounting bracket 4.

[0029] More specifically, the driving mechanism includes an electromagnetic winding 5 and a rotating rod 6. The electromagnetic winding 5 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 4, and the inner side of the electromagnetic winding 5 is threaded. The rotating rod 6 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the electromagnetic winding 5. It should be noted that the electromagnetic winding 5 and the rotating rod 6 are existing technologies. The electromagnetic winding 5 causes the internal magnet to rotate by changing the current magnitude and energizing sequence of the different coils inside. Since the rotating rod 6 is threadedly connected to the electromagnetic winding 5, the rotating rod 6 is rotated and twisted out during the rotation of the internal magnet, thereby pushing the adjusting slider 8 upward.

[0030] The working process of this utility model is as follows: the sample is placed in the material bin by the staff and the sample specification information is correctly set. The drive mechanism adjusts the slider to the required position, and the inner shell of the roller rotates. When the first smoke inlet hole 1a on the outer shell 1 coincides with the second smoke inlet hole 3a on the inner shell of the roller 3, one sample enters and fills the coinciding hole. The inner shell of the roller continues to rotate, and the remaining samples remain in the material bin. When the inner shell of the roller rotates to the exhaust hole 1b, the sample is automatically discharged from the exhaust hole 1b due to gravity, completing one sampling operation.

[0031] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that those skilled in the art can devise many other modifications and implementations that fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various modifications and improvements can be made to the components or layout of the subject matter arrangement within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims. Besides modifications and improvements to the components or layout, other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
