Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette appearance inspection technology, and in particular to an auxiliary clamping device for cigarette appearance inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Cigarettes are a type of tobacco product. They are made by drying tobacco, cutting it into shreds, and then rolling it into a cylindrical shape about 120mm long and 10mm in diameter. To smoke, one end is lit, and the smoke is inhaled from the other end. Cigarettes originated in Turkey, where people liked to roll tobacco in newspaper and smoke it. During the cigarette manufacturing process, the appearance of the cigarette is usually inspected.

[0003] Clamping devices are used to fix workpieces and are widely used in machining, assembly, welding and other processes to ensure the accuracy and stability of the workpieces. Their main function is to clamp the workpiece to prevent it from shifting or displacing during processing, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the processing. In the process of inspecting the appearance of cigarettes, auxiliary clamping devices are usually used to clamp the cigarettes to facilitate inspection.

[0004] In existing technology, a clamping mechanism uses the elastic deformation of a return spring to engage the moving clamp with the stationary clamp, thereby holding the cigarette butt. When the pull ring is pulled, it causes the moving clamp to rise via a pull rod, releasing the clamp and allowing the inspected cigarette butt to be removed. This device can automatically unload the cigarette after clamping, achieved through manual pulling. However, manually pulling the entire mechanical structure requires considerable force, necessitating significant labor for prolonged operation, which is not conducive to clamping cigarettes and automatically unloading them. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides an auxiliary clamping device for cigarette appearance inspection. A reset mechanism moves the mounting post away from the inner wall of the mounting groove. A moving mechanism drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate. A transmission mechanism drives the threaded rod to rotate, which in turn lowers the first clamp. The first and second clamps then work together to clamp the cigarette. The reset mechanism then inserts the mounting post into the inner wall of the mounting groove, limiting the rotation of the rotating disk and preventing the lead screw from rotating. This solves the problem of requiring manual pulling of the entire mechanical structure for feeding in existing technologies.

[0006] This utility model provides an auxiliary clamping device for cigarette appearance inspection. The device includes: a worktable; a push plate is mounted on one side of the worktable via a moving mechanism; a first bevel gear and a rotating disk are fixedly mounted on one side of the worktable via the moving mechanism; a second bevel gear is meshed on the surface of the first bevel gear; a threaded rod is mounted on one side of the second bevel gear via a transmission mechanism; a first clamp is threaded onto the surface of the threaded rod; a first clamping groove is formed at the bottom of the first clamp; a U-shaped plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the worktable; a second clamp is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the U-shaped plate; a second clamping groove is formed at the top of the second clamp; an installation groove is formed on the surface of the rotating disk; an installation block is fixedly mounted on one side of the worktable; a slot is formed on one side of the installation block; and an installation post is mounted on the inner wall of the slot via a reset mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a lead screw rotatably mounted on one side of the worktable, a moving block threaded onto the surface of the lead screw, the top of the moving block and the bottom of the push plate being fixedly mounted, the surface of the lead screw and the inner wall of the first bevel gear being fixedly mounted, and one end of the lead screw and one side of the rotating disk being fixedly mounted.

[0008] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a rotating rod fixedly installed on one side of the second bevel gear, a third bevel gear fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod, a fourth bevel gear meshing with the surface of the third bevel gear, and the inner wall of the fourth bevel gear and the surface of the threaded rod being fixedly installed.

[0009] Preferably, the reset mechanism includes a sliding column slidably mounted on the inner wall of the slot, a movable plate fixedly mounted on one end of the sliding column, a spring fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the slot, one end of the spring and one side of the movable plate being fixedly mounted, and one side of the movable plate and one end of the mounting column being fixedly mounted.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting groove matches the surface of the mounting column, and a collection cabinet is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped plate.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the workbench is provided with a sliding groove, and the inner wall of the sliding groove is in contact with the surface of the moving block.

[0012] Preferably, the first clamp and the second clamp cooperate, and the number of mounting slots is multiple and arranged in an array.

[0013] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment uses a reset mechanism to move the mounting column away from the inner wall of the mounting groove, a moving mechanism to rotate the first bevel gear, the first bevel gear to rotate the second bevel gear, and a transmission mechanism to rotate the threaded rod. The threaded rod then moves the first clamp downwards, allowing the first and second clamps to grip the cigarette. The reset mechanism moves the mounting column into the inner wall of the mounting groove, limiting the rotation of the rotating disk and preventing the lead screw from rotating, thus making the gripping more stable. Alternatively, the reset mechanism moves the mounting column away from the inner wall of the mounting groove, the threaded rod moves the first clamp upwards, and the moving mechanism moves the push plate, pushing the cigarette against the inner wall of the collection cabinet for automatic cigarette unloading. This achieves convenient cigarette gripping and automatic unloading, eliminating the need to pull the entire mechanical structure; operation only requires rotating the lead screw and pulling a small section of the sliding column, saving effort, and offering a simple and easy-to-use structure.

Figure 4 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the present invention, as shown in the schematic diagram. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown. This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary clamping device for cigarette appearance inspection, including a worktable 1. A push plate 4 is mounted on one side of the worktable 1 via a moving mechanism. A first bevel gear 5 and a rotating disk 16 are fixedly mounted on one side of the worktable 1 via the moving mechanism. The moving mechanism includes a lead screw 2 rotatably mounted on one side of the worktable 1. A moving block 3 is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw 2. The top of the moving block 3 and the bottom of the push plate 4 are fixedly mounted to facilitate the movement of the push plate 4. The surface of the lead screw 2 is fixedly mounted to the inner wall of the first bevel gear 5. One end of the lead screw 2 is fixedly mounted to one side of the rotating disk 16. A sliding groove 25 is provided on the top of the worktable 1. The inner wall of the sliding groove 25 is in contact with the surface of the moving block 3 to limit the movement of the moving block 3, making the movement of the moving block 3 more stable. A second bevel gear 6 is meshed onto the surface of the first bevel gear 5. A threaded rod 10 is mounted on the side via a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a rotating rod 7 fixedly mounted on one side of the second bevel gear 6. A third bevel gear 8 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod 7. A fourth bevel gear 9 is meshed on the surface of the third bevel gear 8. The inner wall of the fourth bevel gear 9 and the surface of the threaded rod 10 are fixedly mounted. The second bevel gear 6 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate, the rotating rod 7 drives the third bevel gear 8 to rotate, the third bevel gear 8 drives the fourth bevel gear 9 to rotate, and the fourth bevel gear 9 drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate, which facilitates the rotation of the threaded rod 10. A first clamp 11 is threadedly fitted on the surface of the threaded rod 10. A first clamping groove 12 is opened at the bottom of the first clamp 11. A U-shaped plate 13 is fixedly mounted on one side of the workbench 1. A second clamp 14 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 13. A second clamping groove 15 is opened at the top of the second clamp 14.

[0024] Specifically, the surface of the rotating disk 16 is provided with a mounting groove 17. A mounting block 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the worktable 1. A slot 19 is provided on one side of the mounting block 18. A mounting column 23 is installed on the inner wall of the slot 19 through a reset mechanism. The reset mechanism includes a sliding column 20 that is slidably installed on the inner wall of the slot 19. A moving plate 22 is fixedly installed on one end of the sliding column 20. A spring 21 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slot 19. One end of the spring 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the moving plate 22. One side of the moving plate 22 is fixedly installed on one end of the mounting column 23, which facilitates the movement of the mounting column 23. The inner wall of the mounting groove 17 and the surface of the mounting column 23 are matched. A collection cabinet 24 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 13. The first clamp 11 and the second clamp 14 are matched. There are multiple sets of mounting grooves 17 arranged in an array. The reset mechanism drives the mounting column 23 away from the inner wall of the mounting groove 17. The moving mechanism drives the first bevel gear 5 to rotate. The first bevel gear 5 drives the second bevel gear 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate via the transmission mechanism. The threaded rod 10 drives the first clamp 11 to descend, allowing the cigarettes to be clamped by the cooperation of the first clamp 11 and the second clamp 14. The reset mechanism drives the mounting post 23 to insert into the inner wall of the mounting groove 17, which limits the rotation of the rotating disk 16 and prevents the lead screw 2 from rotating, making the clamping more stable. The reset mechanism drives the mounting post 23 to leave the inner wall of the mounting groove 17, and the threaded rod 10 drives the first clamp 11 to rise. The moving mechanism drives the push plate 4 to move, so that the push plate 4 pushes the cigarettes to the inner wall of the collection cabinet 24, thus automatically unloading the cigarettes. This achieves the purpose of convenient clamping and automatic unloading of cigarettes, eliminating the need to pull the entire mechanical structure. Only the lead screw 2 and the sliding column 20 need to be rotated a short distance to operate, which is more labor-saving, simple in structure, and easy to use.

[0025] In this solution, all electrical components are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that provides control.

[0026] Furthermore, when using this auxiliary clamping device for cigarette appearance inspection, the cigarette is placed on the inner wall of the second clamping groove 15. Pulling the sliding column 20 causes the mounting column 23 to move away from the inner wall of the mounting groove 17. Rotating the lead screw 2 moves the moving block 3, which in turn moves the push plate 4 away from the second clamp 14. The lead screw 2 then drives the first bevel gear 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 6 to rotate. The transmission mechanism then drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate, which in turn lowers the first clamp 11. Thus, the first clamp 11 and the second clamp 14 work together to clamp the cigarette. Simultaneously, the spring 21 resets, causing the moving plate 22 to move. The moving plate 22 drives the mounting column 23 to insert into the inner wall of the mounting groove 17, which limits the rotation of the rotating disk 16 and prevents the lead screw 2 from rotating, making the clamping more stable. After the test is completed, the reset mechanism drives the mounting column 23 to leave the inner wall of the mounting groove 17, and the threaded rod 10 drives the first clamp 11 to rise. The moving mechanism drives the push plate 4 to move, so that the push plate 4 pushes the cigarette to the inner wall of the collection cabinet 24, which can automatically unload the cigarette. This achieves the purpose of convenient clamping and automatic unloading of cigarettes. It eliminates the need to pull the entire mechanical structure. Only the lead screw 2 and the sliding column 20 need to be rotated a short distance to operate, which is more labor-saving, simple in structure and easy to use.
