Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette conveying equipment, and more specifically, to a cigarette guide plate device. Background Technology

[0002] During the cigarette manufacturing process, the cigarette guide plate device receives the cleaned cigarettes after they have been cut by the blade and passes them to the cigarette collection wheel of the receiving machine via the cigarette guide wheel, thus guiding the cigarettes. The raw cigarette guide plate assembly is fixed with screws to form a channel, which is relatively enclosed and does not receive positive or negative pressure air. After the equipment stops, the cigarettes remain in the channel, making manual cleaning difficult and lacking the function of sampling cleaned cigarettes.

[0003] For example, utility model patent CN219939693U discloses a cigarette guide rail and a cigarette rolling machine. The cigarette guide rail is positioned between a cutting device and a conveying device to guide the cigarette from the cutting device to the conveying device. The cigarette guide rail includes a first adjusting member and a second adjusting member. The first adjusting member is installed at the entrance of the conveying device; the second adjusting member is connected to both the first and second adjusting members, forming a transport channel for the cigarette's movement. The cigarette rolling machine includes the aforementioned cigarette guide rail. This cigarette guide rail and cigarette rolling machine, by setting the first and second adjusting members, forms a transport channel for the cigarette's movement between the cutting device and the conveying device, guiding the movement of the cigarette and preventing deviation of the cigarette's trajectory during its movement from the cutting device to the conveying device, ensuring the cigarette smoothly enters the conveying device, thereby improving the cigarette's transport efficiency. However, the structure disclosed in this cigarette guide rail and cigarette rolling machine still has drawbacks: cigarettes remain in the channel after the equipment stops, making manual cleaning difficult, and it lacks the function of sampling clean cigarettes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to guide the cigarette during the cigarette conveying process, facilitate the cleaning of cigarettes and the sampling of clean cigarettes, and facilitate automated control, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a cigarette guide plate device, installed next to the cigarette wheel and located between the cutter and the cigarette wheel, including a box, a front pressure plate, an upper pressure plate, a cigarette bottom plate, and a cylinder.

[0005] The cigarette base plate is located at the bottom of the box, and the upper pressure plate is located on the upper side of the box. The space between the upper pressure plate and the cigarette base plate forms a cigarette guide channel for the cigarette to pass through.

[0006] The front pressure plate is mounted on one side of the cigarette guide channel in an upward flip-up position via the cylinder. The housing is provided with positive pressure holes and several negative pressure holes on the side corresponding to the cigarette guide channel. The positive pressure holes are used to blow the cigarette out of the cigarette guide channel when the front pressure plate is flipped up, so as to meet the needs of cigarette sampling and cleaning.

[0007] Based on the above, a pair of support arms are provided on the top of the housing, and the top two sides of the front pressure plate are hinged to the support arms. One end of the cylinder is connected to one of the support arms, and the other end of the cylinder is connected to the front pressure plate.

[0008] Beneficial effects: By setting up a support arm, on the one hand, it can provide a mounting position for the cylinder, and on the other hand, it can provide a mounting position for the front pressure plate, so that it can be pushed by the cylinder from the top, realizing a flipping action with the top as the pivot, so that the cigarette can be blown out from the cigarette guide channel.

[0009] Based on the above, a pair of connecting lugs are provided on the top of the front pressure plate, and the connecting lugs are rotatably connected to the support arm by pins.

[0010] Based on the above, the housing is provided with a positive pressure nozzle mounting hole that connects to the positive pressure hole, and a negative pressure nozzle mounting hole that connects to a plurality of the negative pressure holes.

[0011] Based on the above, positive pressure air is connected to the positive pressure nozzle mounting hole, and negative pressure air is connected to the negative pressure nozzle mounting hole.

[0012] Beneficial effects: During normal cigarette transport, the negative pressure provided by the negative pressure holes can be used to adsorb cigarettes in the cigarette guide channel, ensuring more stable cigarette transport. When it is necessary to sample cigarettes or clean cigarettes in the cigarette guide channel, with the front pressure plate raised, the compressed air provided by the positive pressure holes can be used to blow the cigarettes out of the cigarette guide channel.

[0013] Based on the above, the positive pressure hole and the plurality of negative pressure holes are arranged independently of each other.

[0014] Based on the above, the length of the lower part of the front pressure plate is greater than or equal to the length of the cigarette guide channel.

[0015] This utility model has substantial features and advancements compared to existing technologies. Specifically, the cigarette guide plate device provided by this utility model, by analyzing the structure of existing closed cigarette guide plate devices, addresses the shortcomings of closed cigarette guide plate devices in not having the functions of opening, sampling, and cleaning. By using a cylinder to drive the front pressure plate, one side of the cigarette guide channel can be flipped upwards to open. Furthermore, by setting a positive pressure hole on the other side of the cigarette guide channel to allow positive pressure air to enter, the cigarettes in the cigarette guide channel can be blown outwards using positive pressure air. Thus, the cigarette guide plate device has the functions of sampling and cleaning cigarettes.

[0016] Furthermore, by setting several negative pressure holes on one side of the cigarette guide channel, a negative pressure environment can be generated in the cigarette guide channel during normal cigarette transport, thereby ensuring the stability of the cigarette transport process.

[0017] Therefore, the cigarette guide plate device provided by this utility model can play a guiding role in the cigarette conveying process, facilitate cigarette cleaning, and also has the function of sampling clean cigarettes, which is convenient for automated control.

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] This embodiment provides a cigarette guide plate device, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is installed next to the cigarette wheel 1 and located between the cutter 5 and the cigarette wheel 1, including a housing 8, a front pressure plate 4, an upper pressure plate 6, a cigarette base plate 3, and a cylinder 2.

[0026] The cigarette base plate 3 is located at the bottom of the housing 8, and the upper pressure plate 6 is located on the upper side of the housing 8. The space between the upper pressure plate 6 and the cigarette base plate 3 forms a cigarette guide channel 20 for the cigarette to pass through. The front pressure plate 4 is mounted on one side of the cigarette guide channel 20 in an upward-flipping position via the cylinder 2. The housing 8 has positive pressure holes 17 and several negative pressure holes 16 on one side corresponding to the cigarette guide channel 20. The positive pressure holes 17 are used to blow the cigarette outward from the cigarette guide channel 20 when the front pressure plate 4 is in the flipped state, to meet the needs of cigarette sampling and cleaning.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 8 is provided with a positive pressure nozzle mounting hole 19 communicating with the positive pressure hole 17, and a negative pressure nozzle mounting hole 18 communicating with a plurality of negative pressure holes 16. A positive pressure nozzle 11 is installed in the positive pressure nozzle mounting hole 19. A negative pressure nozzle 12 is installed in the negative pressure nozzle mounting hole 18. Positive pressure air is connected to the positive pressure nozzle mounting hole 19. Negative pressure air is connected to the negative pressure nozzle mounting hole 18. The positive pressure hole 17 and the plurality of negative pressure holes 16 are arranged independently of each other.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] This embodiment provides a cigarette guide plate device, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that: specifically, a pair of support arms are provided above the housing 8. For ease of distinction, they can be referred to as the first support arm 9 and the second support arm 10. The top two sides of the front pressure plate 4 are hinged to the support arms. One end of the cylinder 2 is connected to one of the support arms, and the other end of the cylinder 2 is connected to the front pressure plate 4. A pair of connecting ear plates 14 are provided on the top of the front pressure plate 4, and the connecting ear plates 14 are rotatably connected to the support arms respectively through pins 13. Specifically, the other end of the cylinder 2 is connected to one of the connecting ear plates 14.

[0030] Example 3

[0031] This embodiment provides a cigarette guide plate device. The main difference from Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the length of the lower part of the front pressure plate 4 is greater than or equal to the length of the cigarette guide channel 20.

[0032] Specifically, a negative pressure chamber 15 is provided inside the housing, and the cigarette holder base plate is located at the bottom of the negative pressure chamber 15. The positive pressure nozzle mounting hole 19 is vertically opened on the side wall of the housing, and its lower part is connected to the positive pressure hole. A cigarette holder support plate 7 is also provided at the entrance of the cigarette holder guide channel 20.

[0033] Specifically, the working steps of the cigarette guide plate device provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0034] During normal operation, the cylinder is in its extended state. By pushing the connecting ear plate 14, the front pressure plate 4 is kept in a drooping state with the pin 13 as the hinge point. This ensures that the front pressure plate 4 surrounds one side of the cigarette guide channel 20, thereby achieving a closed state on the outside of the cigarette guide channel 20. This allows the cigarette to pass smoothly through the cigarette guide channel 20 and enter the cigarette feeding wheel. During this process, the negative pressure provided by the negative pressure hole is used to attract the cigarette in the cigarette guide channel, ensuring a more stable cigarette delivery.

[0035] When it is necessary to sample or clean cigarettes within the cigarette guide channel 20, the cylinder retracts inward, pushing the connecting ear plate 14 to cause the front pressure plate 4 to flip upward with the pin 13 as the hinge point, thus opening the outer side of the cigarette guide channel 20. Subsequently, compressed air provided by the positive pressure hole is used to blow the cigarettes outward from the cigarette guide channel.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
