Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulation technology, and in particular to a device for preparing tobacco flavor capsules. Background Technology

[0002] In the preparation of flavor capsules for tobacco products, sieving is a crucial step. It not only ensures uniform capsule particle size, meeting product design requirements, but also guarantees consistent flavor release rates, preventing uneven taste or aroma release due to size differences. Furthermore, it separates excessively large or small capsule fragments, agglomerates, or broken particles, improving the appearance and quality stability of the finished product and reducing consumer complaints.

[0003] Currently, vibrating screening equipment is mostly used for screening tobacco flavor capsules. Traditional screening devices usually use simple vibrating screens or fixed screen structures, which have the following shortcomings in the screening process:

[0004] 1. Flavor capsules are prone to sticking together during the production and processing. In the subsequent screening process, the sticking flavor capsules not only cannot be screened smoothly, but also easily clog the screen, affecting the screening quality.

[0005] 2. Existing screening mechanisms cannot effectively disperse flavor capsules during screening. Flavor capsules tend to pile up together during vibration screening, which not only easily causes compression damage to the flavor capsules, but also affects the screening accuracy.

[0006] 3. Existing screening mechanisms are relatively simple in design and difficult to achieve multi-stage screening. Even if multi-stage screening is achieved by adding screens, it is very inconvenient to clean and maintain them in the future, which increases production costs and operational difficulty.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tobacco flavoring capsule preparation device that can efficiently disperse, perform multi-stage sieving, and is easy to maintain, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a tobacco flavor capsule preparation device. This utility model can not only efficiently disperse and screen flavor capsules step by step, but also filter and screen impurity particles during the screening process, which greatly improves the screening efficiency and quality of flavor capsules.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A device for preparing tobacco flavoring capsules includes a box with an open upper end. Multiple screening mechanisms for progressively screening the flavoring capsules are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the box. Each screening mechanism includes a dispersing plate and a screening plate arranged inclined from top to bottom. The upper surface of the dispersing plate has several spaced columns for dispersing the flavoring capsules. A discharge port is located at the lower end of the upper surface of the dispersing plate. The screening plate includes a collecting plate, a screen, and a discharge plate arranged in series and inclined. The collecting plate is inclined and aligned with the discharge port. The upper and lower parts are arranged in a corresponding manner. The higher end of the screen is connected to the lower end of the collecting plate. Several partitions are spaced apart on the upper surface of the screen, dividing the upper surface of the screen into several screening channels arranged along the inclined direction of the screen. The bottom surface of the screening channel has several discharge holes arranged in an orderly manner along the axial direction of the screening channel, which are used to screen and drop non-compliant flavor capsules. The higher end of the discharge plate is connected to the lower end of the screen, and the lower end of the discharge plate extends to the outside of the box and is used to discharge the compliant flavor capsules that have been screened.

[0011] Furthermore, the bulk material plate has an isosceles trapezoidal structure, and the discharge port is located on the short side near the bulk material plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the discharge plate has an isosceles trapezoidal structure, and the long side of the discharge plate is matched with the width of the screen.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner cavity of the box is equipped with a slag collection plate for collecting non-compliant flavor capsules and impurity particles that have been screened out. The slag collection plate is inclined and its lower end extends to the outside of the box.

[0014] Furthermore, both inner walls of the screening channel are provided with tapered inclined surfaces, and the minimum distance between the two tapered inclined surfaces is adapted to the diameter of the discharge hole in the screening channel.

[0015] Furthermore, the box body is movably installed inside the outer box body. The outer wall of the box body is equipped with a vibration motor for driving the box body to vibrate. The upper part of the outer box body is equipped with a feed port corresponding to the high end of the bulk material plate. The side walls of the outer box body are respectively equipped with a discharge port corresponding to the low end of the discharge plate and a slag discharge port corresponding to the low end of the slag collection plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the discharge port and slag discharge port are respectively equipped with guide plates that are connected to the discharge plate and the slag collection plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the housing and the outer housing are elastically supported and limited by several springs.

[0018] Furthermore, one side of the outer casing is provided with an openable door, and the side of the casing corresponding to the door is an open structure. The two side walls of the open side of the casing are provided with mounting ports for mounting the screening mechanism, and the inner surface of the door is provided with elastic inner baffles that correspond to and fit the open side of the casing.

[0019] Furthermore, both the bulk material plate and the screen plate are equipped with mounting blocks at their upper ends. One side of the mounting block has a threaded hole that penetrates the mounting block, and the mounting opening has a mounting screw hole that matches the threaded hole. Bolts are installed in the corresponding threaded hole and mounting screw hole.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting a dispersing plate, the flavor capsules can be dispersed by collision during the sliding process of the flavor capsules along the inclined dispersing plate, thereby reducing the number of flavor capsules adhering to each other.

[0021] By setting up a sieve plate, not only can flavor capsules of different sizes be sieved and collected, but impurity particles mixed in can also be filtered and sieved during the sieving process, thereby ensuring that the sieved flavor capsules are free of impurity particles.

[0022] By setting up screening channels and discharge holes, not only can flavor capsules be transported in an orderly manner, but flavor capsules that do not meet specifications can also be efficiently screened.

[0023] By setting up a slag collection plate, the granular impurities and small granular flavor capsules that are screened out can be collected and processed.

[0024] By setting up an outer casing and a vibrating motor, not only can the screening efficiency of flavor capsules be greatly improved, but the casing can also be effectively soundproofed.

[0025] By setting springs, not only is the elastic limit of the box body achieved, but it also provides strong support for the vibration of the box body and subsequent unloading.

[0026] This invention not only enables efficient step-by-step dispersing and sieving of flavor capsules, effectively preventing their accumulation and damage, but also filters and sieves impurities during the sieving process, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of flavor capsule sieving and providing strong support for the high-quality production of tobacco flavor capsules.

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. In the description, it should be understood that if there are terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right" indicating the orientation or positional relationship, they are only corresponding to the drawings of this utility model for the convenience of describing this utility model, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation.

[0034] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0035] Example 1: A device for preparing tobacco flavor capsules includes a box 3 with an open upper end. Inside the box 3, multiple screening mechanisms for progressively screening flavor capsules are arranged from top to bottom. Specifically, the screening mechanism includes a material distribution plate 4 and a screening plate 5 arranged from top to bottom at an incline. The upper surface of the material distribution plate 4 is provided with several spaced columns 12 for dispersing the flavor capsules. A discharge port 13 is provided at the lower end of the upper surface of the material distribution plate 4. When the flavor capsules are tilted onto the higher end of the material distribution plate 4 and rolled along the inclined surface of the material distribution plate 4 to the lower end, the sticky flavor capsules collide with and are dispersed by the columns 12, which can greatly reduce the number of sticky flavor capsules. In order to ensure effective dispersion and discharge of flavor capsules, the material distribution plate 4 is an isosceles trapezoidal structure, and the discharge port 13 is located on the side close to the short side of the material distribution plate 4.

[0036] The screening plate 5 includes a collection plate 17, a screen 18, and a discharge plate 22 arranged in series and inclined. The collection plate 17 is inclined and is vertically aligned with the discharge port 13. The higher end of the screen 18 is connected to the lower end of the collection plate 17. Several partitions 19 are spaced apart on the upper surface of the screen 18, dividing the upper surface of the screen 18 into several screening channels 20 arranged along the inclined direction of the screen 18. The bottom surface of the screening channels 20 is provided with several channels arranged in an orderly manner along the axial direction of the screening channels 20, which are used for... The material discharge hole 21 is used to screen and drop non-compliant flavor capsules. In order to ensure that the screening channel 20 can screen flavor capsules smoothly, the lower side of the two inner walls of the screening channel 20 is provided with a narrowing inclined surface 23. The minimum distance between the two narrowing inclined surfaces 23 is adapted to the diameter of the material discharge hole 21 in the screening channel 20. The high end of the discharge plate 22 is connected to the low end of the screen 18. The low end of the discharge plate 22 extends to the outside of the box 3 and is used to discharge the compliant flavor capsules that have been screened.

[0037] After being dispersed by the bulk material plate 4, the flavor capsules fall through the discharge port 13 to the upper part of the collection plate 17, and then roll through the inclined collection plate 17 into the various screening channels 20 on the screen 18. As the flavor capsules roll along the screening channels 20, flavor capsules that are smaller than the discharge hole 21 and do not meet the requirements fall directly from the discharge hole 21 to the next screening mechanism. Impurities mixed in during the screening process will also be screened through the screen 18 and fall to the next screening mechanism. Flavor capsules that are larger than the discharge hole 21 and meet the requirements are discharged through the discharge plate 22 to the outside of the box 3. In order to facilitate the collection of the screened flavor capsules, the discharge plate 22 has an isosceles trapezoidal structure, and the long side of the discharge plate 22 is adapted to the width of the screen 18. Through the screening of multiple screening mechanisms, flavor capsules of different sizes can be screened and selected step by step.

[0038] In Example 2, during the screening process through multiple screening mechanisms, impurity particles mixed between the flavor capsules and flavor capsules that do not meet the specifications and are smaller than the diameter of the feed hole 21 will be screened and fall to the bottom of the box 3. In order to facilitate subsequent collection and processing, the bottom of the inner cavity of the box 3 is also provided with a slag collection plate 11 for collecting the non-standard flavor capsules and impurity particles screened out. The slag collection plate 11 is inclined and its lower end extends through to the outside of the box 3.

[0039] In Example 3, although the inclined screening mechanism can screen flavor capsules, its screening effect relies on the rolling of the flavor capsules themselves. To improve the screening effect of the flavor capsules,

[0040] The housing 3 is movably installed inside the outer housing 2. Specifically, the housing 3 and the outer housing 2 are elastically limited and supported by several springs 7. The outer wall of the housing 3 is equipped with a vibration motor 6 for driving the housing 3 to vibrate. The upper part of the outer housing 2 is equipped with a feed inlet 1 corresponding to the high end of the bulk material plate 4. The side wall of the outer housing 2 is equipped with a discharge outlet 8 corresponding to the low end of the discharge plate 22 and a slag discharge outlet 10 corresponding to the low end of the slag collection plate 11. The discharge outlet 8 and the slag discharge outlet 10 are respectively equipped with guide plates 9 connected to the discharge plate 22 and the slag collection plate 11. By elastically installing the housing 3 inside the outer housing 2 and driving it with the vibration of the vibration motor 6, not only can the vibration of the housing 3 drive multiple screening mechanisms to vibrate synchronously, greatly improving the screening effect of the flavor capsules, but it can also provide vibration damping and buffer protection for the housing 3, saving energy consumption.

[0041] In Example 4, to facilitate routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance of the screening mechanism, an openable door 27 is provided on one side of the outer casing 2. The side of the casing 3 corresponding to the door 27 is open. Mounting openings 24 for mounting the screening mechanism are provided on both sides of the open side of the casing 3. The side of the mounting opening 24 corresponding to the door 27 is also open. Mounting blocks 14 are provided at the high ends of both the material distribution plate 4 and the screen plate 5. A screw hole 15 penetrating the mounting block 14 is provided on one side of the mounting block 14. The mounting opening 24 is located away from the door 27. One inner wall of the box is provided with mounting screw holes 25 that are adapted to screw holes 15. Bolts 16 for fixing the bulk material plate 4 and the screen plate 5 are installed in the corresponding screw holes 15 and mounting screw holes 25. In order to prevent the flavor capsules from falling out of the opening of the box 3 during the vibrating screening process, the inner surface of the box door 27 is provided with an elastic inner baffle 26 that is adapted to the opening on one side of the box 3. The elastic inner baffle 26 can be made of rubber. The bulk material plate 4 and the screen plate 5 can also be provided with baffles on both sides to block and limit the flavor capsules.
