Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing equipment, and more specifically to a temporary storage device for the core of cigarette making auxiliary materials. Background Technology
[0002] In the cigarette production process, cigarette paper and tipping paper, as two core auxiliary materials, need to be continuously supplied to the cigarette rolling machine in the form of rolls. With the acceleration of production pace and the improvement of automation, the daily consumption of cigarette paper and tipping paper is constantly increasing, resulting in a large number of empty roll cores on site. Since the roll cores of the two types of auxiliary materials have significant differences in diameter, length, etc., their subsequent recycling and management place higher demands on space and operation methods.
[0003] In existing technologies, the temporary storage and collection of these cigarette paper cores often involves using simple containers or simply stacking them in open areas of the workshop. This approach has several drawbacks: firstly, the loose and disorderly storage of the cores occupies a significant amount of valuable production or passage space, reducing overall space utilization efficiency; secondly, the mixed stacking of cigarette paper cores and tipping paper cores makes them prone to compression, rolling, or collisions, resulting in damage to some cores and affecting subsequent recycling. Furthermore, operators face difficulties such as inconvenience, high labor intensity, and time-consuming processes during the collection, handling, and transfer of cores due to the lack of proper classification and efficient arrangement.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a specialized device that is simple in structure, clearly categorized, and easy to operate, for on-site collection and temporary storage of cigarette paper cores and tipping paper cores, thereby improving core management efficiency, improving the on-site environment, and reducing the burden of manual operation. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies or defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a core storage device suitable for cigarette machine auxiliary materials, including a base, a central support component and an outer peripheral limiting structure;
[0006] The central support member is vertically disposed at the center of the base to support the tipping paper core; the outer peripheral limiting structure is disposed around the central support member and fixedly connected to the base to limit the outer sleeve space of the cigarette paper core.
[0007] An inner storage area is formed between the central support member and the outer peripheral limiting structure for storing the tipping paper core, and an outer storage area is formed between the outer peripheral limiting structure and the outer peripheral limiting structure for storing the cigarette paper core.
[0008] In some embodiments, the central support member is used to allow the cork paper core to be fitted around its periphery and stacked vertically.
[0009] In some embodiments, the central support member is a vertically arranged inner pole, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the base.
[0010] In some embodiments, the inner upright has a height of 1000mm and a diameter of 12mm, and is made of high-strength carbon steel.
[0011] In some embodiments, the peripheral defining structure includes a plurality of vertically arranged enclosure members surrounding the central support member and fixedly connected to the base, for defining the external sleeve position of the cigarette paper core.
[0012] In some embodiments, the enclosure component consists of multiple vertically arranged external poles, which are symmetrically distributed along the central support component and welded and fixed to the base.
[0013] In some embodiments, at least one reinforcing ring connected to the outer support post is also included.
[0014] In some embodiments, the base is a circular steel plate with a diameter of 200 mm and a thickness of 10 mm, and the surface is provided with an anti-slip structure to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the device on the ground.
[0015] In some embodiments, the inner storage area is sized to fit the tipping paper core, and the outer storage area is sized to fit the cigarette paper core.
[0016] This invention provides a temporary storage device for cigarette paper and tipping paper cores, utilizing the aforementioned technical solution. By setting a base, a central support component, and an outer perimeter limiting structure, a double-layered, partitioned temporary storage space is constructed, specifically for the classified and centralized storage of cigarette paper and tipping paper cores. It offers the following advantages:
[0017] This device enables the categorized storage of cigarette paper cores, improving management efficiency. Since the cores of tipping paper and cigarette paper differ in outer diameter, this device creates two functional areas between the central support component and the outer perimeter defining structure: an inner storage area for axially stacking tipping paper cores, and an outer storage area for nesting cigarette paper cores. This clear categorization based on the different core specifications avoids management chaos caused by mixed storage, improving the orderliness and efficiency of the recycling operation.
[0018] The structure is stable, occupies a small area, and has a high space utilization rate. The central support component and the outer peripheral limiting structure are both fixed to the base, forming a rigid frame structure; the positional relationship between each part is stable and reliable, and it can make full use of space in the vertical direction to achieve three-dimensional stacking of cores. Compared with traditional ground-based random stacking or box-type storage methods, this device can accommodate more cores per unit area, significantly improving the space utilization rate of the production site.
[0019] This design reduces core waste and facilitates subsequent recycling. The device features clearly defined internal zones and vertically constrained storage to prevent lateral rolling, collisions, and stacking of cores. Smaller tipping paper cores are particularly protected by a central support structure, ensuring vertical stability and preventing tipping. This effectively reduces core deformation and damage caused by trampling or haphazard stacking, improving the success rate of subsequent recycling and reuse, and lowering material waste costs.
[0020] The structure is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the adaptability is strong. The structure of this utility model is composed of conventional industrial components (such as metal rods, welded parts, and steel plates), the manufacturing process is mature, and the cost is low.
[0021] Meanwhile, the device's dimensions, core spacing, and other parameters can all be adjusted according to the specifications of different cigarette machine auxiliary materials. Therefore, this device has good versatility and can be widely applied to the on-site management needs of different cigarette production lines.
[0022] In summary, this utility model solves the problems of space waste, chaotic management, and low recycling efficiency in the existing core storage process through reasonable structural division and layout, and has significant practical value and field application effect.

[0028] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates the specific embodiments of the "temporary storage device for cigarette machine auxiliary materials" described in this utility model. It should be understood that the following embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a temporary storage device for the core of cigarette machine auxiliary materials includes a base 4, a central support member 1, an outer peripheral limiting structure 2, and an optional reinforcing structure.
[0030] The base 4 serves as the load-bearing foundation of the device, supporting and securing all vertical components. In this embodiment, the base 4 is a circular steel plate with a diameter of 200mm and a thickness of 10mm. To enhance stability, the lower surface of the base 4 may be equipped with an anti-slip structure, such as anti-slip pads, anti-slip particle coatings, or rubber edging, to ensure that the device is stably placed on a flat surface at the production site and has strong anti-overturning capabilities.
[0031] The base 4 has a fixed interface for the central support member 1 at its center, and several connection holes or welding positions for installing the outer peripheral limiting structure 2 in the outer area.
[0032] The central support member 1 forms the inner storage area 5, which supports and stores the core of the tipping paper. Its structural form can be:
[0033] A solid vertical pole; or a hollow round tube, shaft or other vertical component, the key being that a vertical guide axis can be formed on its outer circumference for fitting the core.
[0034] In this embodiment, the central support member 1 is an inner upright rod with a height of 1000mm and a diameter of 12mm. It is made of high-strength carbon steel and its bottom is fixed to the center of the base 4 by welding or bolting.
[0035] The outer diameter of the core of the roll for tipping paper is usually 75mm. The outer diameter of the central support member 1 is much smaller than this size, which allows the core to slide vertically along its outer perimeter and stack on the inner upright, forming a stable vertical columnar arrangement, effectively preventing the core from tilting or slipping.
[0036] The function of the outer peripheral limiting structure 2 is to form an outer sleeve space for storing cigarette paper cores, and structurally form an annular inner and outer separation space between it and the central support member 1.
[0037] The peripheral limiting structure 2 can have various structural forms in specific implementations, for example:
[0038] Several symmetrically distributed vertical outer supports (such as...) Figure 1 (as shown)
[0039] Annular cylindrical frame, semi-enclosed baffle or other limiting components.
[0040] In this embodiment, the outer perimeter limiting structure 2 consists of four vertically arranged outer supports, each arranged at a 90° angle around the central support member 1. Each outer support is firmly fixed to the base 4 by welding. The support body is made of the same material and diameter as the central support, namely high-strength carbon steel, with a diameter of 12mm and a height of 1000mm.
[0041] The radial distance between the four outer uprights and the central support component 1 is set to 100mm, suitable for a 75mm outer diameter tipping paper core; while the outer circumferential distance between the outer uprights is designed to be approximately 112mm (including the rod diameter), suitable for a 129mm outer diameter cigarette paper core. Operators can place the cigarette paper core outside the gap between the outer uprights, allowing it to hang naturally or lean against the outer uprights, which is convenient for storage, observation, and retrieval.
[0042] To enhance the overall stability and torsional resistance of the external uprights, two reinforcing rings 3 are added between the four external uprights in this embodiment. The reinforcing rings 3 are located at heights of 300mm and 900mm from the base, and are made of circumferential steel bars welded together. They are fixedly connected to each external upright to form a stable rigid frame structure.
[0043] The reinforcement ring 3 not only improves the overall structure's resistance to deformation during handling and collisions, but also plays a certain auxiliary guiding role, helping the core to fall smoothly into the corresponding area during storage.
[0044] How to use:
[0045] When the cigarette paper or tipping paper rolls are used up, the operator can vertically insert the tipping paper core into the inner space between the central upright and the outer upright, allowing it to stack naturally under gravity; the cigarette paper core is then placed on the outer area of the outer upright, with the outer upright providing circumferential restraint, thus achieving orderly partitioned storage of the two types of cores.
[0046] The device can be used individually or arranged in parallel to form a standardized core storage area. Depending on the site layout requirements, the base 4 can also be designed with casters, positioning holes, or a foot pedal structure to facilitate the movement, fixing, or modular integration of the device.
[0047] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0048] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. To avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
[0049] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
