Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco feeding technology, and in particular to a tobacco wrapping mechanism and tobacco processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the tobacco processing industry, the tobacco feeding shield is a key component of the feeding and conveying system. Its core function is to construct a reliable sealing barrier to prevent accidental leakage of tobacco from the feeding port during gravity or mechanical conveying, thereby ensuring the continuity of the production process and the effective utilization of materials. Based on the operating conditions, this shield is usually made of materials with wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties, such as stainless steel, rubber, and plastics, to meet the performance stability requirements of long-term, high-frequency conveying environments.
[0003] However, existing tobacco feeding baffles still face technical bottlenecks in practical applications. Firstly, the commonly used screw-fixed installation structure makes baffle position adjustment inconvenient. When blockages occur at the feeding port due to changes in material characteristics or conveying conditions during tobacco transport, it is difficult to quickly clear the blockage, thus adversely affecting the stability of process parameters. Secondly, in routine equipment maintenance, the cumbersome baffle disassembly process makes cleaning inefficient. Long-term use can lead to material residue or impurities adhering to the baffle, increasing the risk of tobacco contamination and posing a challenge to ensuring consistent product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shielding mechanism and tobacco processing equipment to solve the problems in the prior art where the shielding position adjustment is inconvenient and the shielding disassembly process is cumbersome, making it difficult to carry out cleaning operations efficiently.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] On the one hand, a skin-blocking mechanism is provided, comprising:
[0007] The feeding guide has openings on both sides for introducing tobacco shreds;
[0008] A receiving plate, which is located below the feeding guide tube, is used to receive the tobacco shreds;
[0009] A baffle, wherein there are multiple baffles, one end of which is detachably disposed on the periphery of the feeding guide tube, and the other end abuts against the receiving plate to restrict the tobacco shreds from being pushed up;
[0010] An adjustment assembly is provided between the baffle and the feed guide. The adjustment assembly includes a sliding frame and a pulley. The sliding frame is located around the feed guide. The baffle is detachably connected to the pulley. The pulley can generate relative displacement with the sliding frame to fold or unfold the baffle.
[0011] As an optional technical solution for the baffle mechanism, the sliding frame includes a first sliding rod and a second sliding rod. The first sliding rod and the second sliding rod are spaced apart in the vertical direction to form a sliding space extending in the horizontal direction. The adjustment component also includes a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed at the geometric center of the pulley, and the other end is placed in the sliding space and can roll in the horizontal direction to drive the pulley to move.
[0012] As an optional technical solution for the baffle mechanism, the adjustment component further includes a first limiting member, which is located at the end of the rotating shaft away from the pulley and abuts against the first sliding rod and the second sliding rod to restrict the rotating shaft from disengaging from the sliding frame.
[0013] As an optional technical solution for the baffle mechanism, the adjustment component further includes a connector, which is disposed on the peripheral wall of the pulley. The connector has a first connecting hole, and the baffle has a second connecting hole. The fastener passes through the first connecting hole and connects to the second connecting hole to detachably connect the baffle and the connector.
[0014] As an optional technical solution for the baffle mechanism, the adjustment component further includes a second limiting member, which is disposed on the periphery of the pulley and can move in a direction close to or away from the pulley to abut or dismount from the pulley.
[0015] As an optional technical solution for the shielding mechanism, the adjustment component further includes a dust cover, which is arc-shaped and spaced above the sliding frame, and the width of the dust cover is the same as the width of the sliding frame.
[0016] As an optional technical solution for the dust cover mechanism, the adjustment component further includes a sliding rod, which is slidably disposed on the dust cover along the vertical direction. One end of the sliding rod is connected to the second limiting member to drive the second limiting member to move in a direction closer to or away from the pulley.
[0017] As an optional technical solution for the baffle mechanism, the adjustment assembly further includes a fixed seat, a damper, a spring, and a top ball. The fixed seat is fixed to the dust cover and is hollow inside. The damper is arranged along the horizontal direction and one end abuts against the end of the fixed seat, while the other end abuts against the top ball. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the damper. The sliding rod passes through the fixed seat and has a slot on its peripheral wall. The top ball can be engaged or disengaged from the slot by the force of the spring and the damper to restrict or release the movement of the sliding rod.
[0018] As an optional technical solution for the shielding mechanism, some of the shields have notches to facilitate the tobacco shreds to squeeze through the notches and pass through the shields.
[0019] On the other hand, a tobacco processing device is provided, including the aforementioned shielding mechanism.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0032] Existing tobacco feeding baffles still face technical bottlenecks in practical applications. Firstly, the commonly used screw-fixed installation structure makes baffle position adjustment inconvenient. When blockages occur at the feeding port due to changes in material characteristics or conveying conditions during tobacco transport, it's difficult to quickly clear the blockage, thus negatively impacting the stability of process parameters. Secondly, in routine maintenance, the cumbersome baffle disassembly process hinders efficient cleaning. Long-term use can lead to material residue or impurities, increasing the risk of tobacco contamination and posing a challenge to ensuring consistent product quality.
[0033] To address the aforementioned problems, this embodiment provides a tobacco processing device, including a shielding mechanism. Specifically, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The baffle mechanism includes a feeding guide 10, a receiving plate 20, a baffle 30, and an adjustment component.
[0034] Furthermore, the feeding conduit 10 has openings on both sides for introducing tobacco shreds. In this embodiment, the feeding conduit 10 is configured as a trapezoidal shape with openings at both the top and bottom. In other embodiments, the feeding conduit 10 may be configured as a triangular pyramid or other polygonal shape, which is not limited here.
[0035] Furthermore, the receiving plate 20 is disposed below the feeding guide 10 and is used to receive tobacco shreds. In this embodiment, the receiving plate 20 is square and has baffle walls 21 around its perimeter to limit the overflow of tobacco shreds from the receiving plate 20.
[0036] Furthermore, there are multiple baffles 30. One end of each baffle 30 is detachably mounted on the periphery of the feeding guide 10, and the other end abuts against the receiving plate 20 to prevent tobacco from sticking together. Specifically, the baffles 30 can be made of materials such as nitrile rubber, silicone rubber, polyethylene, or polytetrafluoroethylene. In this embodiment, four baffles 30 are provided, and some baffles 30 have notches to facilitate the tobacco to squeeze through the notches and pass through the baffles 30. Specifically, the notches are elongated and extend vertically.
[0037] Furthermore, an adjustment component is located between the baffle 30 and the feeding guide 10. The adjustment component includes a sliding frame 41 and a pulley 42. The sliding frame 41 is located around the feeding guide 10, and the baffle 30 is detachably connected to the pulley 42. The pulley 42 can generate relative displacement with the sliding frame 41 to fold or unfold the baffle 30. Specifically, the feeding guide 10 includes a mounting plate 11, which is located around the feeding guide 10, and the adjustment component is fixed to the mounting plate 11. By selectively folding or unfolding the baffle 30 using the adjustment component, the feeding port can be quickly cleared when blocked. The detachable connection between the baffle 30 and the feeding guide 10 facilitates disassembly and cleaning of the baffle 30, reducing the risk of tobacco contamination and improving product quality.
[0038] Further, the sliding frame 41 includes a first sliding rod and a second sliding rod, which are spaced vertically to form a sliding space extending horizontally. The adjustment assembly also includes a rotating shaft 43, one end of which is rotatably disposed at the geometric center of the pulley 42, and the other end is placed within the sliding space and can roll horizontally to drive the pulley 42 to move. In this embodiment, both the first and second sliding rods are configured as concave handles, and the short arms on both sides of the first and second sliding rods are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11. Specifically, the adjustment assembly also includes a first limiting member 44, which is disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 43 away from the pulley 42 and abuts against the first and second sliding rods to restrict the rotating shaft 43 from disengaging from the sliding frame 41. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 44 is configured as a limiting ball; in other embodiments, the first limiting member 44 may also be configured as a stop or a block, etc. In other embodiments, slide rails and sliders can be used instead of slide frame 41 and pulley 42, or lead screws and nuts can be used instead of slide frame 41 and pulley 42, which will not be described in detail here.
[0039] Furthermore, the adjusting assembly also includes a connector 45, which is disposed on the peripheral wall of the pulley 42. The connector 45 has a first connecting hole, and the retaining plate 30 has a second connecting hole. The fastener 50 passes through the first connecting hole and connects to the second connecting hole to detachably connect the retaining plate 30 and the connector 45. In this embodiment, the fastener 50 is a bolt, the first connecting hole is a smooth hole, and the second connecting hole is a threaded hole. In other embodiments, both the first and second connecting holes can be smooth holes, and a nut can be used to limit the bolt at the other end to fix the connector 45 and the retaining plate 30.
[0040] Furthermore, the adjusting assembly also includes a second limiting member 46, which is disposed on the periphery of the pulley 42 and can move in a direction close to or away from the pulley 42 to abut or dismount from the pulley 42. In this embodiment, the second limiting member 46 is configured as a limiting block, and the limiting surface of the limiting block is configured as an arc-shaped surface to fit against the peripheral wall of the pulley 42, facilitating the limiting of the pulley 42.
[0041] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly also includes a dust cover 47, which is arc-shaped and spaced above the sliding frame 41. The width of the dust cover 47 is the same as the width of the sliding frame 41. The dust cover 47 can prevent dust from falling onto the pulley 42, reduce the chance of the pulley 42 getting stuck, and increase the smoothness of the pulley 42's movement and its service life.
[0042] Further, see Figure 3 The adjustment assembly also includes a sliding rod 48, which is slidably mounted vertically on the dust cover 47. One end of the sliding rod 48 is connected to the second limiting member 46 to drive the second limiting member 46 to move in a direction closer to or away from the pulley 42. Specifically, the adjustment assembly also includes a fixed base 49, a damper 410, a spring 411, and a top ball 412. The fixed base 49 is fixed to the dust cover 47 and is hollow inside. The damper 410 is arranged horizontally and one end abuts against the end of the fixed base 49, while the other end abuts against the top ball 412. The spring 411 is sleeved on the outside of the damper 410. The sliding rod 48 passes through the fixed base 49 and has a slot 481 on its peripheral wall. The top ball 412 can be engaged or disengaged from the slot 481 by the force of the spring 411 and the damper 410 to restrict or release the movement of the sliding rod 48.
[0043] Specifically, the adjustment assembly also includes a handle 413, which is located at the other end of the sliding rod 48 away from the second limiting member 46. In this embodiment, the handle 413 is sleeve-shaped. In other embodiments, the handle 413 may also be ball-shaped or rod-shaped, which will not be described in detail here.
[0044] For example, when the sliding rod 48 moves upward in the vertical direction, the sliding rod 48 drives the second limiting member 46 to move upward and disengage from the pulley 42. The positions of the slot 481 and the top ball 412 will be misaligned. The side wall of the sliding rod 48 exerts a force on the top ball 412, and the top ball 412 will compress the spring 411. The damper 410 slows down the movement of the spring 411 and limits the spring 411 to prevent the spring 411 from deviating or compressing too quickly. When the sliding rod 48 moves downward in the vertical direction, the sliding rod 48 drives the second limiting member 46 to move downward and abut against the pulley 42. The positions of the slot 481 and the top ball 412 correspond. The spring 411 is released elastically. The damper 410 slows down the movement speed of the spring 411 and limits the spring 411. The spring 411 pushes the top ball 412 into the slot 481, restricting the movement of the sliding rod 48.
[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
