Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette equipment technology, and in particular to a circular blade cleaning device and cutting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette production process, the quality of filter rod cutting directly affects the draw resistance stability and appearance qualification rate of cigarette products. As a mainstream medium-speed equipment, the ZJ17 cigarette machine uses a cutting drum assembly to cut the filter rods through high-speed rotating circular blades.

[0003] The existing ZJ17 cigarette machine's circular blades continuously contact the filter rods during the cutting process, causing contaminants such as paper scraps or adhesives to adhere to the blades. As the cigarette machine runs, these contaminants accumulate and form hardened plaque, dulling the blade edges. This results in rough cut surfaces on the filter rods, and may even lead to quality defects such as tilting or cracking of the filter rod ends, reducing the pass rate of the filter rods and increasing their production costs.

[0004] To keep the circular blades clean, existing technologies typically require stopping the cigarette rolling machine and disassembling the blades for cleaning. Disassembly and cleaning are time-consuming, reducing the production efficiency of the cigarette rolling machine. Furthermore, frequent disassembly can lead to wear and tear on precision components such as bearings and locating pins, reducing their lifespan and increasing the operating costs of the cigarette rolling machine.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a cutting device, including a frame, a circular blade, a collecting device, and a circular blade cleaning device. The circular blade cleaning device includes a mounting base 1, an adjusting assembly 2, and a cleaning component 3. A reference plane 11 is provided on the mounting base 1. The adjusting assembly 2 includes an adjusting component 21 and a locking component 22. The adjusting component 21 is disposed on the reference plane 11 and can rotate relative to the mounting base 1 within the reference plane 11. The locking component 22 is connected to the adjusting component 21 and the mounting base 1, and can fix the adjusting component 21 to the mounting base 1. The cleaning component 3 is connected to the first end of the adjusting component 21 and can abut against one side of the circular blade. The circular blade is connected to the frame and can rotate around its central axis. The mounting base 1 is connected to the frame. The reference plane 11 is perpendicular to the axis of the circular blade. The cleaning component 3 abuts against one side of the circular blade. The collecting device is disposed below the circular blade and corresponds to the circular blade.

[0032] By rotating the adjusting member 21, the position of its first end can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the cleaning member 3 so that it abuts against one side of the circular blade. The adjusting member 21 is then fixed to the mounting base 1 by the locking member 22, preventing rotation of the adjusting member 21 during operation. When the cutting equipment is working, the circular blade rotates around its central axis, while the cleaning member 3 remains stationary. The cleaning member 3 moves relative to the surface of the circular blade, scraping off contaminants adhering to the blade surface. The contaminants fall into the collection device under gravity, preventing them from falling onto the cutting equipment and causing contamination. By setting up a circular blade cleaning device, the rotating circular blade can be cleaned during operation, preventing contaminants from adhering to it and ensuring the cutting quality of the filter rod. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for disassembling and cleaning the circular blade, saving time, improving the production efficiency of the cigarette machine, extending the service life of precision components, and reducing the operating costs of the cigarette machine.

[0033] Specifically, the mounting base 1 is a rectangular plate structure, located on one side of the circular blade. The reference plane 11 is located on the upper side of the mounting base 1. The cleaning component 3 is a rectangular scraper. In other embodiments, the cleaning component 3 can also be a cleaning brush. The circular blade is rotatably connected to the frame via a rotating shaft, and is driven to rotate by a motor, thereby rotating the circular blade. The collection device includes a conical funnel, a pipe, a solenoid valve, and a vacuum pump. The side of the conical funnel with the larger opening is close to the circular blade to collect contaminants, while the side with the smaller opening is connected to one end of the pipe, and the other end of the pipe is connected to the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump can adsorb contaminants in the funnel, preventing contaminants from accumulating inside. The solenoid valve is located on the pipe, and can control the opening and closing of the pipe, thereby controlling the number of times the vacuum pump adsorbs contaminants. In this embodiment, the solenoid valve opens every thirty minutes, and the vacuum pump adsorbs contaminants in the funnel. In other embodiments, the opening time of the solenoid valve can be set according to specific circumstances.

[0034] Optionally, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the locking element 22 is the first screw, the mounting base 1 has a first threaded hole, and the adjusting element 21 has a mounting through hole 211. The locking element 22 passes through the mounting through hole 211 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole. Loosening the first screw allows the adjusting element 21 to rotate around the first screw, thereby adjusting the position of the adjusting element 21, facilitating adjustment and preventing it from falling off. After adjusting the adjusting element 21 to the appropriate position, tightening the first screw secures the adjusting element 21 against the mounting base 1, thus fixing it in place.

[0035] Specifically, the adjusting member 21 is L-shaped and includes a first connecting portion 212, a second connecting portion 213, and a rotating portion 214. The first connecting portion 212 and the second connecting portion 213 are perpendicular to each other and both are connected to the rotating portion 214. A mounting through hole 211 is provided in the rotating portion 214. The cleaning member 3 is connected to the end of the first connecting portion 212 away from the rotating portion 214. The second connecting portion 213 facilitates the rotation of the adjusting member 21. The adjusting assembly 2 also includes a limiting member 25. The limiting member 25 is a pin, which is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1 and located between the first connecting portion 212 and the second connecting portion 213. When installing and removing the cleaning member 3, the two first connecting portions 212 are rotated in a direction away from each other, increasing the operating space and facilitating the installation and removal of the cleaning member 3. The first connecting portions 212 can abut against the side wall of the limiting member 25, thereby preventing the adjusting member 21 from rotating too much.

[0036] Optionally, the adjusting assembly 2 further includes an elastic element. The first end of the elastic element is connected to the mounting base 1, and the second end is connected to the second end of the adjusting member 21. Through the elastic action of the elastic element, the adjusting member 21 can automatically rotate, causing the cleaning member 3 to abut against the circular blade, ensuring contact between the cleaning member 3 and the circular blade and preventing poor contact between the cleaning member 3 and the circular blade due to manual rotation of the adjusting member 21. Specifically, the second end of the elastic element is connected to the end of the second connecting portion 213 away from the rotating portion 214. The elastic element is a spring; in other embodiments, the elastic element can also be a rod-shaped structure made of elastic material.

[0037] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly 2 also includes a first fixing member 23 and a second fixing member 24. The first fixing member 23 is connected to the mounting base 1, the first end of the elastic member is connected to the first fixing member 23, the second fixing member 24 is connected to the second end of the adjustment member 21, and the second end of the elastic member is connected to the second fixing member 24. The first fixing member 23 and the second fixing member 24 facilitate the connection between the elastic member and the mounting base 1 and the adjustment member 21.

[0038] Specifically, both the first fixing member 23 and the second fixing member 24 are positioning screws. The mounting base 1 is provided with a third threaded hole corresponding to the first fixing member 23, and the first fixing member 23 is threadedly connected to the third threaded hole. The adjusting member 21 is provided with a fourth threaded hole corresponding to the second fixing member 24, and the second fixing member 24 is threadedly connected to the fourth threaded hole. The first end and the second end of the elastic member are respectively sleeved on the first fixing member 23 and the second fixing member 24.

[0039] Optionally, the circular blade cleaning device also includes a mounting base 4, to which the mounting seat 1 is connected. The mounting base 4 can be fixed to an external device, and the mounting seat 1 can be easily fixed to the frame via the mounting base 4.

[0040] Furthermore, the circular blade cleaning device also includes a second screw. A fixing part 12 is provided on the mounting base 1, and a first positioning hole 41 and a first gap 42 communicating with the first positioning hole 41 are provided on the fixing base 4. The fixing part 12 passes through the first positioning hole 41. A first through hole 43 is provided on one side of the first gap 42, and a second threaded hole is provided on the other side. The second screw passes through the first through hole 43 and the first gap 42 and is threaded into the second threaded hole. Rotating the second screw increases the first gap 42, thereby increasing the inner diameter of the first positioning hole 41. The fixing part 12 and the first positioning hole 41 are in clearance fit to install or remove the mounting base 1. Reverse rotation of the second screw decreases the first gap 42, thereby decreasing the inner diameter of the first positioning hole 41. The fixing part 12 and the first positioning hole 41 are in interference fit to fix the mounting base 1 to the fixing base 4.

[0041] Specifically, the fixing part 12 has a cylindrical structure, and one end of the fixing part 12 is connected to the side of the mounting base 1 facing away from the cleaning component 3. The circular blade cleaning device also includes a third screw. The fixing base 4 is also provided with a second positioning hole 44 and a second gap 45. The second gap 45 communicates with the second positioning hole 44. A second through hole is provided on one side of the second gap 45, and a fifth threaded hole is provided on the other side. The third screw passes through the second through hole and the second gap 45 and is threaded into the fifth threaded hole. The adjustment method of the third screw is the same as that of the second screw.

[0042] Optionally, the circular blade cleaning device also includes a connector 5, the cleaning component 3 is detachably connected to the connector 5, the connector 5 is connected to the first end of the adjusting component 21, and the connector 5 facilitates the connection between the cleaning component 3 and the adjusting component 21.

[0043] Specifically, the connector 5 is a block structure. The connector 5 is fixed to the first connecting part 212 by fastening screws. The side of the connector 5 facing the circular blade is parallel to the circular blade. The cleaning part 3 is fixed to the side of the connector 5 facing the circular blade by multiple fastening screws.

[0044] Optionally, the cleaning component 3 is inclined relative to the reference plane 11, which can reduce the frictional resistance between the cleaning component 3 and the circular blade, reduce the wear of the cleaning component 3, and extend the service life of the cleaning component 3. Specifically, the end of the cleaning component 3 that abuts against the circular blade is inclined downward.

[0045] Optionally, two cleaning components 3 and two adjusting components 2 are provided, with one cleaning component 3 and one adjusting component 2 corresponding to each other. The two cleaning components 3 are spaced apart and located on both sides of the circular blade, so as to clean both sides of the circular blade at the same time.

[0046] Specifically, the two cleaning components 3 and the two adjusting components 2 are symmetrically arranged about the circular blade. Both adjusting components 2 are connected to the same mounting base 1. In other embodiments, two mounting bases 1 may be provided, with each adjusting component 2 corresponding to and connected to one of the mounting bases 1.
