[0002] Cigarette rolling machines have advantages such as high production speed, high degree of automation, and good product standardization. The tipping paper plays the role of connecting the cigarette and the filter. During the conveying process, the tipping paper may shift due to various reasons. However, the tipping paper correction device of the ZJ116 ultra-high speed cigarette rolling machine is manually adjustable. When adjusting, the machine needs to be stopped and the MAX front protective cover needs to be opened. This not only increases the workload, but also results in poor adjustment accuracy and high rework frequency, which affects the quality of cigarettes and production efficiency.

[0003] According to the public announcement (CN201789913U), a tipping paper offset detection device applied to PROTOS70 is disclosed. This technology discloses "a technical solution including setting an L-shaped plate-like bracket, with four longitudinal slots in the vertical part of the bracket and two waist holes in the horizontal part of the bracket, and fixing the bracket to the bushing of the guide rail for conveying tipping paper at the slots with set screws and nuts, etc., which has the technical effects of the fiber probe not detecting that the tipping paper is touched, the intermediate relay working, supplying power to the alarm, the alarm promptly sounding, and reminding the operator to adjust the tipping paper, etc."

[0004] In the above design, although the fiber probe cannot detect that the tipping paper has been touched, the intermediate relay is activated, supplying power to the alarm, and the alarm sounds in time to remind the operator to adjust the tipping paper. However, this device only detects the deviation, and the adjustment of the deviation still depends on the operator to do it manually. Therefore, we propose an automatic tipping paper correction device for cigarette machines to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown:

[0025] An automatic correction device for tipping paper in a cigarette machine includes a main body 101.

[0026] The tipping paper body 102 is located on one side of the equipment body 101, and the equipment body 101 is provided with a first conveying roller 103, a second conveying roller 104 and a third conveying roller 105 in sequence for guiding and conveying the tipping paper body 102. One end of the first conveying roller 103 and the third conveying roller 105 are rotatably connected to the equipment body 101 through bearings.

[0027] An edge detection sensor 106 is installed on the main body 101 of the device and is used to detect the offset of the tipping paper body 102 in real time.

[0028] An automatic correction mechanism 2 is installed on one side of the equipment body 101 near the edge detection sensor 106. It is used to automatically correct the deviation of the tipping paper body 102. The automatic correction mechanism 2 includes a mounting base 201 fixed on one side of the equipment body 101. A servo motor 202 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 201 by bolts. A U-shaped plate 203 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo motor 202. A fourth conveying roller 205 is rotatably mounted on the U-shaped plate 203 through bearings. The tipping paper body 102 can be wound around the surface of the fourth conveying roller 205 for conveying movement. A correction controller is installed on the mounting base 201. A brush plate 204 is provided below the fourth conveying roller 205. The brush plate 204 and the U-shaped plate 203 are fixedly connected.

[0029] In this implementation scheme: the automatic tipping paper correction device for cigarette machines, during use, the tipping paper body 102 is conveyed along a preset path on the main body 101 of the equipment, sequentially passing through the first conveying roller 103, the second conveying roller 104, the third conveying roller 105 and the fourth conveying roller 205 to form a continuous conveying channel. Among them, the first conveying roller 103 and the third conveying roller 105 are rotatably connected to the main body 101 of the equipment through bearings, providing stable support and guidance for the tipping paper and ensuring its basic conveying direction; the fourth conveying roller 205, as the core component of the correction execution, is connected to the output end of the servo motor 202 through the U-shaped plate 203, and can adjust its angle with the rotation of the servo motor 202, thereby changing the local conveying direction of the tipping paper body 102.

[0030] The edge detection sensor 106 is installed on the main body 101 of the equipment, facing the edge of the tipping paper body 102. It can collect the lateral offset data of the tipping paper body 102 in real time, such as the distance of deviation to the left or right from the preset edge line. The detection signal is transmitted to the correction controller in the automatic correction mechanism 2 through the line. The controller compares the real-time data with the preset standard position parameters to determine whether the correction action needs to be started and the correction direction and amplitude.

[0031] When the edge detection sensor 106 detects that the offset of the tipping paper body 102 exceeds the threshold, the correction controller (not shown in the figure) immediately sends a control command to the servo motor 202. The servo motor 202 drives the U-shaped plate 203 to rotate around the output shaft according to the command, causing the fourth conveyor roller 205 to deflect at a small angle. The deflection direction is opposite to the offset direction of the tipping paper body 102. Because the tipping paper body 102 is tightly attached to the surface of the fourth conveyor roller 205, after the fourth conveyor roller 205 deflects at an angle, the tipping paper body 102 and the fourth conveyor roller 205... The frictional force on the surface of the four conveyor rollers 205 will decompose into a lateral correction force: if the tipped paper body 102 shifts to the left, the fourth conveyor roller 205 will deflect to the right, and the frictional force will push the tipped paper body 102 back to the right; if the tipped paper body 102 shifts to the right, the fourth conveyor roller 205 will deflect to the left, and the force will push it back to the left. When the edge detection sensor 106 detects that the tipped paper body 102 has returned to the standard position, the servo motor 202 drives the fourth conveyor roller 205 to return to the initial angle, and the correction action is completed.

[0032] The brush plate 204 below the fourth conveyor roller 205 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 203 and moves synchronously with the fourth conveyor roller 205. During the conveying process of the tipping paper body 102, it cleans the dust, debris and other impurities on its surface in real time, so as to avoid impurities adhering to the surface of the fourth conveyor roller 205 and causing uneven local stress on the tipping paper body 102, thereby further improving the detection accuracy and conveying stability.

[0033] Compared to existing technologies that rely on manual adjustment, this solution uses an edge detection sensor 106 that is linked in real time with an automatic correction mechanism 2. This allows for dynamic correction during the high-speed transport of the tipping paper body 102 without requiring machine downtime, significantly reducing production interruption time and improving unit operating efficiency. The tension adjustment mechanism 3 can flexibly adjust the tension according to the material of the tipping paper body 102 and the transport speed, avoiding deviations caused by tension fluctuations, reducing the correction frequency, and effectively improving the stability of cigarette production and product quality.

[0034] It should be noted that all electrical equipment involved in this product is powered by an external power source. The solution also includes an electrical control cabinet, which is installed on the equipment. During use, each piece of electrical equipment can be started and operated separately through the electrical control cabinet. The power connection method of each piece of electrical equipment is an existing mature technology and is well known to those in the field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Furthermore, any content of the edge detection sensor 106 not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0036] Furthermore;

[0037] In an optional embodiment, a tension adjusting mechanism 3 is installed on the main body 101 to adjust the second conveying roller 104 up and down, for adjusting the conveying tension of the cork paper body 102. The tension adjusting mechanism 3 includes a base plate 302 fixed on the main body 101, an adjusting screw 304 rotatably mounted on the base plate 302 via a bearing, an L-shaped plate 301 above the base plate 302, the L-shaped plate 301 being fixedly connected to the main body 101, an adjusting block 303 rotatably mounted on one end of the second conveying roller 104 via a bearing, the adjusting block 303 being threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 304 via a threaded hole, a limiting slide opening adapted to the adjusting block 303 being provided on the main body 101, the adjusting block 303 being able to slide within the limiting slide opening provided on the main body 101, and the top end of the adjusting screw 304 being rotatably connected to the L-shaped plate 301 via a bearing.

[0038] In this embodiment: when the adjusting screw 304 is rotated, the adjusting block 303, which is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 304, slides up and down along the limiting slide of the main body 101 of the equipment, driving the second conveying roller 104 to rise and fall synchronously. When the second conveying roller 104 rises, the winding path of the tipping paper body 102 becomes longer and the tension increases; when it falls, the path becomes shorter and the tension decreases. By precisely adjusting the tension, wrinkles and deviations of the tipping paper body 102 due to looseness or tightness can be avoided, ensuring conveying stability.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
