Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco production technology, and in particular to a stem tag detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Impurities in tobacco materials not only affect consumers' enjoyment of cigarettes, but also negatively impact the overall quality of the product. Currently, tobacco manufacturing production lines primarily rely on impurity removers, manual monitoring after leaf cutting, and sampling of stems after leaf air separation to inspect and remove impurities. However, in actual processing, impurities are often cut into leaf-like shapes and mixed with normal leaf fibers, or they may be concealed beneath the material. Therefore, relying solely on manual monitoring for impurity identification and control is clearly insufficient, and the efficiency and accuracy of manual spot checks are low, ultimately leading to a decrease in the product yield.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tag detection device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The material collection chamber is made of a transparent material.

[0009] A collection mechanism is connected to the support and located on one side of the collection chamber. The collection mechanism is used to take pictures to collect information of the stem tag in the collection chamber and to detect whether there are foreign objects.

[0010] The recycling mechanism includes a first driving component and a recycling bin. The output end of the first driving component is connected to a sealing plate at the bottom of the collection chamber. The recycling bin is located below the collection chamber.

[0013] Preferably, the stem detection device further includes a blowing element, which is disposed above the discharge port and can blow the stem to the discharge port or the recycling port.

[0014] Preferably, the material collection mechanism further includes a second driving member, which is connected to the bracket and has its output end pivotally connected to a rotating rod. The rotating rod is pivotally connected to the recycling member. When the output end of the second driving member extends or retracts, the rotating rod can drive the baffle to flip.

[0015] Preferably, the material collection mechanism further includes a connecting rod, one end of which is pivotally connected to the end of the rotating rod away from the second driving member, and the other end is connected to the sealing plate. When the baffle is switched to open the recycling port, the connecting rod can push the sealing plate away from the bottom of the material collection chamber.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

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. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0035] This embodiment provides a stem tag detection device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a support 10, a collection mechanism 20, a collection mechanism 30, and a recycling mechanism 40. The support 10 is disposed on a supporting surface; the collection mechanism 20 is connected to the support 10 and includes a collection channel 21 and a collection chamber 22 that are interconnected. One end of the collection channel 21, away from the collection chamber 22, is connected to a discharge port 23 to allow the skewer to enter the collection chamber 22. The collection chamber 22 is made of a transparent material; the collection mechanism 30 is connected to the support 10 and located on one side of the collection chamber 22. The collection mechanism 30 is used to photograph and collect information about the skewer inside the collection chamber 22 and to detect the presence of debris; the recycling mechanism 40 includes a first driving member 41 and a recycling box 42. The output end of the first driving member 41 is connected to a sealing plate 28 at the bottom of the collection chamber 22. The recycling box 42 is located below the collection chamber 22. The first driving member 41 can drive the sealing plate 28 to tilt towards the recycling box 42, allowing the skewer to fall along the sealing plate 28 into the recycling box 42.

[0036] The support 10 ensures the stability of the device during use. The collection mechanism 20 automatically collects the stems. Since the collection chamber 22 is made of transparent material, the collection mechanism 30 can photograph the stems through the collection chamber 22 and collect information on whether they contain impurities, without manual intervention. After information collection, the first drive unit 41 automatically tilts the sealing plate 28 to ensure that the stems smoothly enter the recycling bin 42 for subsequent operations. The entire process requires no manual intervention. Compared with manual identification, the collection mechanism 30 has high identification accuracy and can operate for extended periods, thereby effectively improving product yield.

[0037] It should be noted that the acquisition mechanism 30 includes a mounting frame 31, an acquisition component 32, and a control component. The mounting frame 31 is connected to the support 10. The acquisition component 32 is mounted on the mounting frame 31 and is communicatively connected to the control component. The control component is used to control the acquisition component 32 to take pictures and collect information, and can transmit the photographed information to an external computer for identification of the presence of foreign objects. This structure not only improves the convenience of installing the acquisition component 32, but also ensures real-time information transmission and improves the accuracy of device identification. In this embodiment, the acquisition component 32 is an image acquisition device, and the control component is a PLC programmable controller with communication connection.

[0038] Furthermore, the collection chamber 22 can be any structure such as glass or plastic, as long as it is made of transparent material, which facilitates the collection device 32 to take pictures and collect information. No specific limitation is made in this embodiment.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the collecting mechanism 20 also includes a recycling component 25, which is connected to the support 10 and arranged vertically. The top of the recycling component 25 is provided with a recycling port 251, and a recycling cavity communicating with the recycling port 251 is formed inside. After the collecting cavity 22 is full of skewer sticks, the skewer sticks can be discharged into the recycling port 251, and the skewer sticks can fall further into the recycling cavity to complete the recycling, thereby avoiding the situation where there is nowhere to store the skewer sticks after the collecting cavity 22 is full.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to simplify the structure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the discharge port 23 and the recycling port 251 are located at the top of the recycling component 25. The resulting problem is how to ensure that the sticky tag falls accurately into the discharge port 23 or the recycling port 251.

[0041] To solve this problem, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the collecting mechanism 20 also includes a baffle 24, which can selectively open the discharge port 23 or the recovery port 251. That is, when it is necessary for the stick to fall into the collecting chamber 22, the baffle 24 is flipped to block the recovery port 251, and the discharge port 23 is opened, so that the stick can slide down the baffle 24 into the collecting channel 21; conversely, the baffle 24 is turned to block the discharge port 23 and open the recovery port 251, so that the stick can slide down the baffle 24 into the recovery chamber. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the practicality is strong.

[0042] To accelerate the falling speed of the stems, the stem detection device also includes a blowing component (not shown in the figure). The blowing component is positioned above the discharge port 23 and can blow the stems to the discharge port 23 or the recovery port 251. By setting up the blowing component, the stems can fall into the discharge port 23 or the recovery port 251 more quickly, thereby accelerating the collection or recovery speed and ensuring work efficiency.

[0043] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the collecting mechanism 20 also includes a second driving member 26, which is connected to the bracket 10. Its output end is pivotally connected to a rotating rod 27, which is pivotally connected to the recycling member 25. When the output end of the second driving member 26 extends or retracts, the rotating rod 27 drives the baffle 24 to rotate. This arrangement is not only simple in structure, but also allows the output end of the second driving member 26 to push the rotating rod 27 upwards when it extends. The rotating rod 27 can rotate relative to the output end and also rotate around its pivot position on the recycling member 25. Therefore, the rotating rod 27 can automatically drive the baffle 24 to rotate during rotation, thereby further improving automation, reducing manual intervention, and lowering labor costs.

[0044] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the collecting mechanism 20 also includes a connecting rod 29. One end of the connecting rod 29 is pivotally connected to the end of the rotating rod 27 away from the second driving member 26, and the other end is connected to the sealing plate 28. When the baffle 24 switches to the state of opening the recovery port 251, the connecting rod 29 can push the sealing plate 28 away from the bottom of the collecting chamber 22. When the output end of the second driving member 26 drives the baffle 24 to open the recovery port 251, the other end of the rotating rod 27 can drive the connecting rod 29 to move downward, thereby enabling the sealing plate 28 to disengage from the bottom of the collecting chamber 22. This improves the smoothness of the first driving member 41 driving the sealing plate 28 to tilt, ensuring the efficiency of the stubble recovery.

[0045] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the recycling mechanism 40 also includes a recycling frame 43 and a pry plate 44. The recycling frame 43 is detachably connected to one side of the collection chamber 22 along its thickness direction. The first drive member 41 is mounted on the recycling frame 43, and the pry plate 44 is connected to the output end of the first drive member 41. The other end of the pry plate 44 can abut against the bottom of the sealing plate 28. During the collection process, the top of the sealing plate 28 can seal the collection chamber 22, allowing the stalks to be laid flat in the collection chamber 22 layer by layer. When recycling is required, the second drive member 26 drives the connecting rod 29 downward through the rotating rod 27. The connecting rod 29 then moves the sealing plate 28 away from the collection chamber 22. At this time, the first drive member 41 works, and its output end drives the pry plate 44 to tilt the sealing plate 28 toward the recycling box 42, so that the stalks can fall smoothly into the recycling box 42.

[0046] Furthermore, the connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the sealing plate 28, thereby ensuring a certain degree of freedom between the two, so that the first driving member 41 can drive the sealing plate 28 to tilt towards the recycling box 42 more smoothly; at the same time, when material collection is required, the output end of the first driving member 41 extends, which enables the pry plate 44 to support the bottom of the sealing plate 28, thereby preventing the sealing plate 28 from falling off.

[0047] It is worth noting that both the first drive component 41 and the second drive component 26 are cylinders. Cylinders are not only simple in structure and inexpensive, but also easy to install, effectively reducing manufacturing and usage costs. In other embodiments, a telescopic motor can be used instead of a cylinder. Furthermore, an external computer connected to the PLC programmable controller can directly drive the extension and retraction of the first drive component 41 and the second drive component 26.

[0048] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a detection element 50 is provided at the top of the collection chamber 22. The detection element 50 is used to detect the storage status of the stalks in the collection chamber 22. That is, when the detection element 50 detects that the collection chamber 22 is full of stalks, the external computer can drive the first drive element 41 and the second drive element 26 to work, thereby causing the baffle 24 to close the discharge port 23, open the recycling port 251, and tilt the sealing plate 28 toward the recycling box 42, so that the stalks fall smoothly into the recycling box 42.

[0049] In this embodiment, the collection chamber 22 is trapezoidal in shape. When there are too many sticks on one side, the trapezoidal sidewalls allow the sticks to fall to the other side, thus ensuring a flat distribution of the sticks after they enter the collection chamber 22. Furthermore, the opening of the recycling bin 42 gradually increases in the direction close to the collection chamber 22. This structure increases the ease with which the sticks slide down the sealing plate 28 into the recycling bin 42, thereby improving recycling efficiency.

[0050] In addition, a negative pressure hole is provided inside the recycling bin 42, which is connected to an external negative pressure device. This design creates a negative pressure effect inside the recycling bin 42, preventing the sticky residue from drifting erratically after entering the recycling bin 42, thus ensuring a good recycling effect.

[0051] The following is a description of the usage process of the stem tag detection device in this embodiment, with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0052] First, the first driving component 41 and the second driving component 26 work together to open the material discharge port 23 and the sealing plate 28 seals the material collection chamber 22.

[0053] Secondly, the blowing device is activated to allow the sticky material to fall into the collection chamber 22. When the collection chamber 22 is full of sticky material, the collecting device 32 starts to collect and take pictures, and transmits the pictures to the control device for information collection.

[0054] Finally, the first drive unit 41 and the second drive unit 26 act again to close the material discharge port 23 and open the recycling port 251. The sealing plate 28 tilts towards the recycling box 42, causing the sticky material in the collection chamber 22 to fall into the recycling box 42. At the same time, the recycling chamber recovers the continuously falling sticky material.

[0055] In summary, the stem tag detection device in this embodiment can not only automatically complete the loading and unloading of stem tags, but also realize the automatic sampling and detection of stem tags, thereby improving detection efficiency, detection accuracy and automation level, and effectively reducing labor costs.

[0056] 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.
