Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cigarette rolling equipment technology, and in particular to a cigarette rolling machine. Background Technology

[0002] A cigarette rolling machine is a machine used to process cigarettes. After rolling tobacco into a cylindrical cigarette pack using paper and applying glue to the paper, the two ends of the paper need to be hot-pressed to ensure a firm bond. The rolling machine includes a soldering iron, a cylinder, and a magnetic switch. The piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the soldering iron. The movement of the piston rod moves the soldering iron to a preset position for heating and pressurization, causing the glue applied to the edges of the cigarette paper to solidify quickly. A sensor is installed on the piston of the cylinder, and the magnetic switch is mounted on the cylinder body. The magnetic switch detects the movement position of the sensor, thereby determining the movement position of the piston, piston rod, and the soldering iron connected to the piston rod.

[0003] When installing the magnetic switch, the installation position of the magnetic switch and the tail end face of the cylinder (the end face without the piston rod) need to be separated by a preset distance. The magnetic switch will only detect the sensing element when the piston moves the preset distance from the tail of the cylinder to the magnetic switch, at which point the soldering iron will move to the preset position. If the installation position of the magnetic switch exceeds or falls short of the preset distance, the detection accuracy of the magnetic switch will be inaccurate, and the determination of the soldering iron's movement position will also be inaccurate, which may easily trigger a false alarm in the cigarette machine.

[0004] Existing magnetic switches are held in place by cable ties, which are prone to deformation due to the high temperature of the soldering iron, resulting in inconsistent installation positions of the magnetic switches. Furthermore, the relative position between the cable ties and the cylinder is measured manually, leading to errors in the actual distance between the magnetic switch and the tail end face. Consequently, the magnetic switch cannot accurately detect the precise location of the soldering iron. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cigarette rolling machine that addresses the problem of unstable installation position of magnetic switches.

[0006] A cigarette rolling machine, the cigarette rolling machine comprising:

[0007] cylinder;

[0008] The cylinder has a support rod and two support blocks. The two support blocks are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the cylinder and connected to the side wall of the cylinder body. The two ends of the support rod are respectively connected to the two support blocks. The support rod is provided with scale lines.

[0009] A mounting block and a magnetic switch are provided, wherein the mounting block is slidably engaged with the support rod, and the magnetic switch is mounted on the mounting block.

[0010] The first abutment is used to lock the mounting block and the magnetic switch.

[0011] In one embodiment, the mounting block includes a sliding part, a clearance part, and a mounting part connected in sequence. The sliding part is slidably engaged with the support rod, the mounting part is provided with the magnetic switch, and the clearance part is used to form a clearance space.

[0012] In one embodiment, the mounting portion is provided with a first mounting hole and a first abutment hole that are connected to each other. The magnetic switch is at least partially disposed in the first mounting hole, and the first abutment member passes through the first abutment hole and abuts against the magnetic switch to lock the magnetic switch and the mounting portion.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sliding portion has a receiving cavity for accommodating the support rod, the cavity wall of which is adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the support rod.

[0014] In one embodiment, the cigarette rolling machine further includes a second abutting member, and the sliding part is provided with a second abutting hole communicating with the receiving cavity. The second abutting member passes through the second abutting hole and abuts against the support rod to lock the sliding part and the support rod.

[0015] In one embodiment, the support block has a curved surface that conforms to the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder.

[0016] In one embodiment, the cigarette rolling machine further includes a retaining member, the support block having a through hole, the retaining member passing through the through hole and retaining itself in the cylinder to lock the support block and the cylinder.

[0017] In one embodiment, the cigarette rolling machine further includes a third abutment that locks the support rod and the support block.

[0018] In one embodiment, the support block is provided with a second mounting hole and a third abutment hole that are connected to each other. The support rod extends into the second mounting hole, and the third abutment member passes through the third abutment hole and abuts against the outer wall of the support rod to lock the support rod and the support block.

[0019] In one embodiment, the magnetic switch is located 45±3mm from the tail end face of the cylinder.

[0020] The aforementioned cigarette rolling machine connects the cylinder body to two support blocks mounted on the cylinder, with each end of a support rod connected to one of these blocks. A magnetic switch is mounted on a mounting block that slides relative to the support rod. The support rod has graduated lines; by adjusting the mounting block to correspond to these lines, the distance between the magnetic switch and the tail end face of the cylinder is precisely measured. After adjusting the distance between the magnetic switch and the tail end face of the cylinder to a preset level, the mounting block and support rod are locked together using a first abutment, thus mounting the magnetic switch onto the cylinder.

[0021] Compared to existing methods that use cable ties to hold the cylinder in place, the cigarette making machine of this application features a support block, support rod, and mounting block with a certain degree of high-temperature resistance, capable of withstanding the high temperatures of a soldering iron and less prone to deformation. Furthermore, the support rod is equipped with graduation lines, allowing for precise measurement of the distance between the magnetic switch and the tail end face of the cylinder, thus improving the installation stability and accuracy of the magnetic switch.

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0033] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; 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; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0036] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0037] The ZJ17 cigarette rolling machine includes a control system, a feeding system, a rolling system, and a sealing system. The sealing system is a crucial component of the ZJ17 cigarette rolling machine. Its main function is to seal the cigarette packs during the cigarette production process to ensure their quality and integrity.

[0038] During the inspection of the ZJ17 cigarette machine, it was found that the "heating component" in the sealing system accounted for as high as 93.02% of the failures. Further investigation and analysis revealed that the magnetic switch 500 in the sealing system of the ZJ17 cigarette machine failed 91 times, accounting for 92.86% of the failures. This is the root cause of the high failure rate of the sealing system in the ZJ17 cigarette machine.

[0039] The magnetic switch 500 should be installed 45±3mm away from the end face of the cylinder 100. However, the existing magnetic switch 500 is not installed in an stable position and is prone to exceeding this range. As a result, the magnetic switch 500 cannot detect the correct position of the soldering iron, which will cause the magnetic switch 500 to malfunction and trigger an alarm to stop the machine.

[0040] Therefore, to address the issue of unstable installation position of the magnetic switch 500, this application provides a cigarette rolling machine, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cigarette rolling machine includes: a cylinder 100, a support rod 300, two support blocks 200, a mounting block 400, a magnetic switch 500, and a first abutment. The two support blocks 200 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the cylinder 100 and connected to the side wall of the cylinder body. The two ends of the support rod 300 are respectively connected to the two support blocks 200, and the support rod 300 is provided with scale lines. The mounting block 400 is slidably engaged with the support rod 300, and the magnetic switch 500 is mounted on the mounting block 400. The first abutment is used to lock the mounting block 400 and the magnetic switch 500.

[0041] The aforementioned cigarette rolling machine connects the support rod 300 to the cylinder body by installing two support blocks 200 on the cylinder body of the cylinder 100, with both ends of the support rod 300 connected to the two support blocks 200 respectively. The magnetic switch 500 is mounted on the mounting block 400, which slides relative to the support rod 300. The support rod 300 has graduated lines; by observing the position of these graduated lines after the mounting block 400 slides, the distance between the magnetic switch 500 and the tail end face of the cylinder body can be accurately measured. After adjusting the distance between the magnetic switch 500 and the tail end face of the cylinder body to a preset distance, the mounting block 400 and the magnetic switch 500 are locked together using the first abutment, thus mounting the magnetic switch 500 onto the cylinder 100.

[0042] Compared to existing methods that use cable ties to hold the cigarette machine to the cylinder, the support block 200, support rod 300, and mounting block 400 of this application have a certain degree of high-temperature resistance, can withstand the high temperature of a soldering iron, and are not easily deformed. Furthermore, the support rod 300 is equipped with graduation lines, allowing for precise measurement of the distance between the magnetic switch 500 and the tail end face of the cylinder, thus improving the installation stability and positioning accuracy of the magnetic switch 500.

[0043] It should be noted that the tail end face of cylinder 100 refers to the end face of the cylinder body of cylinder 100 without the piston rod.

[0044] It should be noted that, during adjustment, the first abutment of this application releases the mounting block 400 and the magnetic switch 500; after adjustment, the mounting block 400 and the magnetic switch 500 are locked.

[0045] In one embodiment, the magnetic switch 500 is positioned 45±3mm from the tail end face of the cylinder. That is, the preset distance between the installation position of the magnetic switch 500 and the tail end face of the cylinder 100 is 5±3mm.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the mounting block 400 includes a sliding part 410, a clearance part 420, and a mounting part 430 connected in sequence. The sliding part 410 is slidably engaged with the support rod 300. The mounting part 430 is equipped with a magnetic switch 500, and the clearance part 420 is used to form a clearance space. The magnetic switch 500 is mounted on the mounting part 430, and the sliding part 410 and the support rod 300 are slidably engaged, thereby adjusting the mounting position of the magnetic switch 500. The clearance part 420 connects the sliding part 410 and the mounting part 430, and the clearance part 420 forms a clearance space to avoid other components of the cigarette machine.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the clearance part 420 has an inverted L-shaped structure and is in close contact with the outside of the cylinder block.

[0048] In other embodiments, the avoidance part 420 can be configured in any shape, as long as the avoidance part 420 can avoid other components of the cigarette machine. For example, the avoidance part 420 is an arc-shaped structure.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the mounting portion 430 is provided with a first mounting hole 431 and a first abutment hole 432 that are connected. The magnetic switch 500 is at least partially disposed in the first mounting hole 431. The first abutment member passes through the first abutment hole 432 and abuts against the magnetic switch 500 to lock the magnetic switch 500 and the mounting portion 430. By providing the first mounting hole 431 on the mounting portion 430, the magnetic switch 500 is mounted. By providing the first abutment hole 432 and connecting the first abutment hole 432 with the first mounting hole 431, the first abutment member passes through the first abutment hole 432 and extends into the first mounting hole 431, abutting against the outer wall of the magnetic switch 500, thereby locking the magnetic switch 500 and the mounting portion 430, thus mounting the magnetic switch 500 on the mounting block 400.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sliding part 410 has a receiving cavity 411 for accommodating the support rod 300, and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 411 is adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the support rod 300. By setting the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 411 to be adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the support rod 300, a sliding fit can be achieved without the need for a slide rail slider assembly between the receiving cavity 411 and the support rod 300.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 411 is an arc-shaped surface, which fits against the outer peripheral surface of the support rod 300.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the cigarette rolling machine also includes a second abutting member. The sliding part 410 is provided with a second abutting hole communicating with the receiving cavity 411. The second abutting member passes through the second abutting hole and abuts against the support rod 300 to lock the sliding part 410 and the support rod 300. By providing a second abutting hole on the sliding part 410, which is connected to the receiving cavity 411 of the sliding part 410, the second abutting member passes through the second abutting hole and extends into the receiving cavity 411, abutting against the outer peripheral surface of the support rod 300, thereby locking the support rod 300 and the sliding part 410, and thus locking the support rod 300 and the mounting block 400, restricting the relative movement of the support rod 300 and the mounting block 400.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support block 200 has a curved surface that fits against the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder body. By providing a curved surface on the support block 200, which fits against the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder body, the contact area between the support block 200 and the cylinder body is increased, thereby improving the installation stability of the support block 200.

[0054] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the support block 200 near the cylinder body is curved.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cigarette rolling machine also includes a retaining component. A through hole 210 is provided on the support block 200. The retaining component passes through the through hole 210 and retains itself on the cylinder body to lock the support block 200 and the cylinder body. By providing the retaining component, which passes through the support block 200 and retains itself on the cylinder body, the cylinder body and the support block 200 are locked together.

[0056] In this embodiment, the clamping component can be a clamp, cable tie, or ferrule, as long as it can lock the support block 200 and the cylinder body.

[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cigarette rolling machine also includes a third abutment, which locks the support rod 300 and the support block 200. By providing the third abutment, the support rod 300 and the support block 200 are connected, preventing relative movement between them.

[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the support block 200 is provided with a connected second mounting hole and a third abutment hole 220. A portion of the support rod 300 extends into the second mounting hole, and a third abutment member passes through the third abutment hole 220 and abuts against the outer wall of the support rod 300 to lock the support rod 300 and the support block 200. The second mounting hole on the support block 200 facilitates the installation of the support rod 300. The third abutment hole 220 on the support block 200 connects to the second mounting hole, allowing the third abutment member to pass through and extend into the second mounting hole, abutting against the outer wall of the support rod 300, thereby locking the support rod 300 and the support block 200 and restricting their relative movement.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first abutting member, the second abutting member, and the third abutting member are columnar members such as bolts or screws.

[0060] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0061] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
