Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing equipment technology, and in particular to an electric leaf unloader for cutting and unloading the upper leaves of flue-cured tobacco. Background Technology

[0002] When tobacco leaves are processed, they need to go through a drying process. In order to ensure the quality of drying, large support rods are generally used for drying, that is, the main support rod and the branch rods are not separated and are dried together. After drying, the branch rods are separated from the main support rod.

[0003] Traditional methods of separating tobacco leaves often use tools such as scissors or electric shears. These tools have two disadvantages: after the tobacco leaves have been cured and the moisture has evaporated, the main stems become harder. If pruning is done by hand, workers need to expend more effort to complete the pruning, which is quite laborious. While electric shears can solve the problem of laborious pruning, traditional electric shears have relatively low torque. If high-torque shears are used, the cost will be higher. Moreover, regardless of the torque of the shears, after a period of use, the cutting force at the cutting point is easily reduced, or the blades wear down and cannot cut through.

[0004] To address the above issues, we have introduced an electric leaf unloader for cutting and unloading the upper leaves of flue-cured tobacco. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model discloses an electric leaf unloader for cutting and unloading the upper leaves of flue-cured tobacco, aiming to solve the technical problems in the background art.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and marked in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] This utility model discloses an electric leaf unloader for cutting and unloading the upper leaves of flue-cured tobacco.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the electric leaf unloader for the upper leaves of flue-cured tobacco includes:

[0039] Place it on the table 1;

[0040] Through slot 2, through slot 2 is opened on the tabletop 1;

[0041] The protective shell 3 is fixed to the tabletop 1 and located on the outside of the through groove 2;

[0042] Cam 4 is connected to the inside of the protective shell 3 via a rotating shaft and is located inside the through groove 2;

[0043] The movable rod 5 is movably connected above the tabletop 1 via a slide rail mechanism;

[0044] One end of the moving rod 5 is rotatably connected to a contact roller 6, which abuts against the outer side of the cam 4;

[0045] The movable rod 5 has a sliding groove 7 inside. The protective shell 3 is provided with a limit block 9 inside the sliding groove 7. A fixed rod 8 is fixed inside the sliding groove 7. The fixed rod 8 extends into the limit block 9 and is slidably connected to it. A return spring 10 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 8 between the limit block 9 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 7.

[0046] In actual use, when the cam 4 rotates, it will come into contact with the contact roller 6. The shape of the cam 4 will drive the moving rod 5 to move back and forth. When the moving rod 5 moves, the fixed rod 8 inside it will also move together. During the movement, the fixed rod 8 will squeeze the return spring 10. So after the cam 4 separates from the contact roller 8, the elastic force of the return spring 10 can reset the moving rod 5 and make it re-contact the cam 4.

[0047] Also includes:

[0048] The cutting blade 13 has a mounting groove 14, and the moving rod 5 has a mounting groove 11 that matches the structure of the cutting blade 13. The mounting groove 11 has fixing holes 12 at equal intervals. The moving rod 5 is fixedly connected to the moving rod 5 by a locking screw 15.

[0049] The adjusting plate 24 has two symmetrical adjusting grooves 16 on one side of the protective shell 3. The adjusting plate 24 is provided with protrusions that cooperate with the adjusting grooves 16. The adjusting plate 24 is slidably connected to the protective shell 3 through the cooperation of the protrusions and the adjusting grooves 16. The adjusting plate 24 is provided with a fixing screw 17, which is threadedly connected to the protective shell 3.

[0050] Limiting component 21 is disposed on one side of the cutting blade 13;

[0051] Limiting component 21 includes:

[0052] Fixing block 2101 is fixedly attached to the tabletop 1;

[0053] The movable block 2102 is located on one side of the fixed block 2101;

[0054] Two light rods 2103 are configured and symmetrically slidably connected inside the fixed block 2101, and both are connected to the moving block 2102;

[0055] The lead screw 2104 is threadedly connected inside the fixed block 2101 and one end is rotatably connected to the moving block 2102;

[0056] Locking nut 2105 is threaded onto the outside of lead screw 2104.

[0057] In this embodiment, the cutting blade 13 is installed in the mounting groove 11 by the locking screw 15. Because of the mounting groove 14, the position of the cutting blade 13 can be finely adjusted. In this way, even if the size of the cutting blade 13 is changed due to re-grinding during later use, it can still be used by fine adjustment. The adjusting plate 24 is set to facilitate the replacement of the cutting blade 13. The state of the adjusting plate 24 can be controlled by turning the fixing screw 17. Sliding the adjusting plate 24 can expose the cutting blade 13, making it convenient for the staff to replace. By rotating the lead screw 2104, the position of the moving block 2102 can be controlled so that it can better cooperate with the cutting blade 13.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a drive motor 18 is installed on the table 1, the drive motor 18 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft on the cam 4, a wire 20 is connected to the drive motor 18, and a foot switch 19 is connected to the end of the wire 20 away from the drive motor 18. The foot switch 19 is placed on the ground and is in an active state.

[0059] In this embodiment, the foot switch 19 allows the operator to easily control the drive motor 18 for operation.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, two receiving uprights 23 are fixedly connected to the tabletop 1, and table legs 22 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the tabletop 1.

[0061] In this embodiment, tobacco leaves are stacked between the two receiving uprights 23.

[0062] Working principle: In use, the operator first piles the tobacco leaves to be processed between the two receiving uprights 23. Then, the position of the moving block 2103 is adjusted. Then, the tobacco leaves are taken out and laid flat on the table 1. The branches on the tobacco leaves are grasped and bent so that the branches form an angle with the main branches. Then, the branches are placed on the moving block 2102. The foot switch 19 is stepped on to control the drive motor 18 to work. The drive motor 18 will drive the cam 4 to rotate. When the cam 4 rotates, it will contact the contact roller 6. The shape of the cam 4 itself will drive the moving rod 5 to move back and forth, thereby driving the cutting blade 13 to complete the cutting of the tobacco leaf branches.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
