Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment technology, and in particular to a rapid packaging equipment for processing tobacco flavoring capsules. Background Technology
[0002] Flavor capsules, also known as flavoring pellets, brittle capsules, or beads, are spherical capsules made of film-forming materials and are commonly used in cigarette filters. During cigarette smoking, the capsule is popped to release a controlled, unique flavor, enriching the cigarette's taste. Increased market demand for flavor capsule cigarettes has prompted companies to expand production, necessitating rapid packaging equipment to increase capacity. However, existing rapid packaging equipment for processing flavor capsules still has several shortcomings. Firstly, existing devices often rely on long-distance linear tracks or vibratory feeders for capsule arrangement, which is inefficient and unstable. Vibratory feeders use high-frequency... Vibration moves the capsules, but it is difficult to ensure uniform arrangement, and they are prone to piling up and overlapping. The violent vibration of the vibratory feeder and the hard collision at the turning points of the straight track increase the breakage rate of the capsule surface, directly affecting the product qualification rate. Secondly, contact transportation causes serious damage. When using belt or chain conveyor, the capsules are in direct contact with the transmission components. Friction can easily cause the capsule surface to be scratched and deformed. In addition, the plastic conveyor belt generates static electricity during friction, which attracts dust or debris and contaminates the capsule surface. At the same time, static electricity can also cause the capsules to stick together, block the conveying channel, and increase the frequency of downtime for cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: This utility model adopts a structured design. This rapid packaging equipment for processing tobacco flavor capsules uses a combination of spiral track to achieve single-row arrangement of capsules and air compressor-driven capsule conveying technology. From the aspects of structural optimization, functional synergy, and performance improvement, it shows significant advantages. The spiral track, with its inclined and spiraling spatial layout, reconstructs the traditional straight conveying path in three dimensions, realizing automatic layering and sorting of capsules. When the spiral track rotates, larger or heavier capsules move to the outside of the track due to centrifugal force, while smaller capsules tend to move to the inside. Combined with the inclined and spiraling track limiting, a stable single-row flow is formed, reducing collisions between capsules. This significantly reduces the breakage rate of the capsules. The controllable airflow generated by the air compressor forms a laminar flow conveying channel through the conveying chamber. This non-contact transmission method avoids mechanical friction damage to the surface of the capsules, while eliminating the problems of electrostatic adsorption and material residue that may be caused by belt drives. Furthermore, the air compressor can be used periodically to introduce high-pressure clean air or disinfectant gas into the pipeline to quickly remove residual flavorings and meet the stringent hygiene standards of the tobacco industry. The combination of the spiral track and the air compressor forms an integrated structure for arrangement and conveying. After the spiral track completes the orderly arrangement of the capsules, the airflow generated by the air compressor immediately and seamlessly conveys the single row of capsules to the downstream workstation, avoiding the secondary chaos that may be caused by traditional transfer links.
