Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cigarette equipment, specifically relating to a cigarette stick inclined plate conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] The ZJ118, ZJ17, and ZJ19 cigarette production lines are the mainstream equipment in cigarette production lines and are widely used in major cigarette factories. In some scenarios, these models may be interchanged. However, unlike the original ZJ19 cigarette-making unit, which had a matching YF17 cigarette conveyor, the replacement ZJ17 cigarette-making unit has a different outlet conveyor system and is incompatible with the YF17 cigarette conveyor. Therefore, to ensure the normal operation of the equipment, it is necessary to design a device that can transport cigarettes between the ZJ17 cigarette-making unit and the YF17 cigarette conveyor. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette slant conveyor device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A cigarette conveying device with an inclined plate is used to convey cigarettes between a cigarette rolling unit and a conveyor belt. The device includes an outlet cover and an inclined plate. The outlet cover includes a mounting base plate, a top plate, and a side plate. The mounting base plate and side plates are mounted opposite each other at the cigarette outlet of the cigarette rolling unit and above the conveyor belt. One end of the top plate is rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting base plate, and the other end of the top plate overlaps the top of the side plate. The inclined plate is mounted on the mounting base plate near the cigarette outlet, located between the mounting base plate and the side plate. The top end of the inclined plate extends to the outside of the cigarette outlet drum of the cigarette rolling unit, and the bottom end of the inclined plate extends above the conveyor belt.

[0006] In this application, an inclined plate is set up to receive and transport the single row of cigarettes output by the cigarette drum. By utilizing the weight of the cigarettes themselves and the forward inertia applied by the cigarette drum, multiple layers of cigarettes are stacked on the inclined plate. The bottom layer of cigarettes is transported by the conveyor belt. In this way, the orderly and neat transport of cigarettes between the cigarette rolling unit and the conveyor belt is realized.

[0007] Furthermore, a synchronization detection bracket is mounted on the mounting base plate. This bracket is used to mount a synchronization detector to detect the synchronization signal of the groove clearance in the exhaust drum wheel. The position of the synchronization detection bracket on the mounting base plate can be adjusted within a certain range of use as needed.

[0008] Furthermore, the synchronous detection bracket is provided with an arc-shaped groove for installing the lower arc-shaped guard plate.

[0009] Furthermore, an upper detector support block is installed on the mounting base plate. The upper detector support block is used to install a capacity limit detector. The capacity limit detector is used to detect the amount of cigarettes accumulated on the inclined plate and to issue an alarm signal when the amount of accumulation exceeds a set threshold.

[0010] Furthermore, baffles are installed on both sides of the inclined plate, which are used to regulate the cigarettes conveyed on the inclined plate. This structural design can effectively position the cigarette flow on the inclined plate, ensuring that the cigarette flow can only run in the required position, eliminating the phenomenon of uneven cigarettes, reducing friction between the cigarettes and the baffle surfaces on the conveyor belt that would cause the tobacco shreds at the end of the cigarettes to fall off, and avoiding the phenomenon of empty ends.

[0011] Furthermore, the baffles are installed on opposite sides of the mounting base plate or side plate via adjusting members, and the distance between the two baffles is adjusted by the adjusting members. The top plate is a transparent plate.

[0012] The utility model adopting the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0013] In this application, during use, an inclined plate installed on the mounting base receives and transports a single row of cigarettes output from the cigarette drum. Utilizing the weight of the cigarettes themselves and the forward inertia applied by the cigarette drum, multiple layers of cigarettes are stacked on the inclined plate. The bottom layer of cigarettes is then transported by a conveyor belt. This orderly and neat transport of cigarettes between the cigarette-making unit and the conveyor belt ensures that the ZJ17 type cigarette-making unit, when replaced in the required location, can operate normally, saving costs. The transparent plate overcomes the shortcomings of the original outlet cover, where abnormalities at the inclined plate are not readily apparent and where the enclosed structure makes quick operation difficult. Furthermore, the overall structure is simple, low-cost, and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

It should be noted that similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals in the drawings or description. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are forms known to those skilled in the art.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cigarette conveying device with an inclined plate, used for conveying cigarettes between a ZJ17 cigarette rolling machine and a YF17 cigarette conveyor belt 105. The device includes an outlet cover and an inclined plate 103. The outlet cover is installed at the cigarette outlet of the ZJ17 cigarette rolling machine. The outlet cover includes a mounting base plate 101, a top plate 102, and side plates 104. The mounting base plate 101 and side plates 104 are installed opposite each other at the cigarette outlet of the rolling machine and are located above the conveyor belt 105. One end of the top plate 102 is open to... The top plate 102 is mounted on the top of the mounting base plate 101 via a hinge or hinge, with the other end overlapping the top of the side plate 104. The top plate 102 is made of plexiglass and is transparent, or it can be made of a transparent plate. Firstly, the conveying situation inside the outlet shroud can be directly observed through the top plate 102, making it easy to detect and quickly locate problems, facilitating maintenance and reducing downtime. Secondly, the top plate 102 can be easily opened for sorting when the smoke streams are disordered. The inclined plate 103 is installed on the end of the mounting base plate 101 near the smoke outlet. The inclined plate 103 is located between the mounting base plate 101 and the side plate 104. The top end of the inclined plate 103 extends to the outside of the smoke outlet drum of the winding unit, and the bottom end of the inclined plate 103 extends above the conveyor belt 105.

[0024] In this embodiment, the top of the inclined plate 103 extends with two arc-shaped segments, which are located on both sides of the smoke-discharging drum (not shown in the figure) and are tangent to the bottom of the smoke-receiving groove of the smoke-discharging drum. A metal flexible chain is mounted on the inclined plate 103 via a long support frame. The free end of the metal flexible chain extends along the conveying direction of the inclined plate 103, but the metal flexible chain does not intersect with the inclined plate 103. In fact, the long support frame can also be mounted on the mounting base plate 101. The metal flexible chain can orderly organize the disordered cigarettes detached from the smoke-discharging drum, ensuring that the entire cigarette stream is not subject to collisions and preventing damage to the cigarettes during movement. The inclined plate 103 is set up to receive and transport the single row of cigarettes output by the cigarette drum. Utilizing the weight of the cigarettes themselves and the forward inertia applied by the cigarette drum, multiple layers of cigarettes are stacked on the inclined plate 103. The bottom layer of cigarettes is transported by the conveyor belt 105. In this way, the cigarettes are transported between the cigarette outlet of the cigarette rolling unit and the conveyor belt 105 in an orderly and neat manner.

[0025] It should be noted that the conveyor belt 105 is a major component of the YF17 cigarette conveyor. This embodiment does not modify the structure of the conveyor belt 105, and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] In this embodiment, baffles 108 are installed on both sides of the inclined plate 103. The baffles 108 are used to regulate the cigarettes conveyed on the inclined plate 103, which helps to stack multiple layers of cigarettes. This structural design can effectively position the cigarette stream on the inclined plate 103, realizing the orderly stacking of cigarettes in the cigarette stream. It eliminates the phenomenon of uneven cigarettes, thereby reducing cigarette damage and empty ends.

[0027] In fact, the baffle 108 is installed on the opposite side of the mounting base plate 101 or the side plate 104 through the adjusting component. The distance between the two baffles 108 is adjusted by the adjusting component to better match the conveyed cigarettes and avoid unevenness.

[0028] The baffle 108 is divided into an inner baffle 112 and an outer baffle 115. An adjusting roller 109 is mounted on the mounting base plate 101 via a bearing seat 110, and the adjusting roller 109 can adjust the tension of the conveyor belt 105. The inner baffle 112 can be mounted on the bearing seat 110 via a first adjusting plate 111, and the inner baffle 112 does not contact the adjusting roller 109. The outer baffle 115 can be mounted on the frame of the winding and splicing unit via a second adjusting plate 114. In addition, the outer baffle 115 and the inner baffle 112 can be connected via a horizontal plate 113. The connecting holes on the first adjusting plate 111, the second adjusting plate 114, and the horizontal plate 113 are strip holes. Therefore, the spacing can be adjusted by adjusting the position of each plate on the strip holes.

[0029] In this embodiment, a synchronous detection bracket 107 is installed on the mounting base plate 101. The synchronous detection bracket 107 is used to install a synchronous detector to detect the synchronous signal of the empty space in the drum wheel groove. The position of the synchronous detection bracket 107 on the mounting base plate 101 can be adjusted within a certain range of use as needed. The synchronous detection bracket 107 is provided with an arc-shaped groove for installing a lower arc-shaped guard plate. The purpose of installing the lower arc-shaped guard plate is to protect the lower side of the drum wheel. An upper detector support block 106 is installed on the mounting base plate 101. The upper detector support block 106 is used to install a capacity limit detector. The capacity limit detector is used to detect the amount of cigarettes accumulated on the inclined plate 103 and to issue an alarm signal when the amount of accumulation exceeds a set threshold.

[0030] In practice, the synchronization detector can use an infrared sensor. When there is a cigarette in the groove of the smoke drum roller, the cigarette blocks the infrared detection light of the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor detects the blocked infrared light and sends a signal indicating that there is a cigarette in the groove. When the groove is empty, the infrared detection light of the infrared sensor is unobstructed, and it detects the synchronization signal indicating that the groove of the smoke drum roller is empty. In this way, the device can easily control the power-on and operation of the conveyor belt 105 and other sensors based on the smoke output.

[0031] The capacity limit detector can be a proximity switch. When the top layer of cigarettes in a multi-layered stack approaches the proximity switch, it indicates that the cigarette stack has reached the specified capacity, which means that the conveying efficiency of the conveyor belt 105 is low or there is a malfunction.

[0032] For example: the number of cigarette stacks is set to four layers or less; the threshold is set to 4; when the number of cigarette stacks exceeds four layers, the proximity switch sends an alarm signal to remind the operator to check and troubleshoot the fault.

[0033] In this embodiment, a spring clip can be installed above the inclined plate 103 to limit the upper limit of cigarette stacking; and the spring clip can work with a capacity limit detector to trigger an alarm when the limit is exceeded. That is, when the stacked cigarettes reach the upper limit position of the spring clip, the capacity limit detector will immediately switch the signal and stop the equipment from operating immediately, while displaying information that the cigarette drum wheel is blocked and needs to be addressed.

[0034] This structural design integrates multiple components of the device via the mounting base 101. The inclined plate 103 allows the single row of cigarettes from the smoke exhaust wheel to fall freely onto it by their own weight and forward inertia, achieving multi-layer stacking of cigarettes. The transparent top plate 102 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 101 and can be easily opened for maintenance of the components inside the opening cover. Under normal circumstances, the conveying process of the inclined plate can also be observed directly. The baffle 108 effectively positions the cigarette stream on the inclined plate 103, achieving cigarette stream stacking and, in conjunction with the conveyor belt, orderly conveying the cigarettes, thus ensuring the cigarette stream is regularized and preventing uneven stacking. This reduces friction between the cigarettes and the baffle surface on the conveyor belt 105, protecting the cigarettes. Furthermore, the overall structure is simple, low-cost, and highly practical.

[0035] The above provides a detailed description of the cigarette slant conveying device provided by this utility model. The specific embodiments are described only to aid in understanding the method and core concept of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
