Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette processing equipment, and more specifically, to a mechanism for compounding tobacco flavorings and fragrances. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco flavorings are essential substances in cigarette production. They not only impart specific flavors to cigarette smoke and enhance its aroma, but also make the cigarette smoke taste mellow and delicate. Their formulation is a core technology in the cigarette industry and plays an important role in improving the taste of cigarettes and highlighting their style. In the preparation of tobacco flavorings, it is necessary to mix various raw materials in a certain proportion, which requires the use of specialized mixing equipment to prepare the raw materials.

[0003] A search revealed that application CN202321391854.8, entitled "An Automatic Dispensing Machine for Tobacco Flavors and Fragrances," discloses an automatic dispensing machine for tobacco flavors and fragrances. However, in actual operation, because precise control of the required quantities of each component is often necessary during dispensing, the outlet needs to be sealed after a certain quantity of one component is dispensed to prevent leakage. Furthermore, since multiple storage tanks for different components are used, the lack of protection at the outlets of the other tanks when one tank is dispensing can easily lead to leakage. Additionally, because the raw materials for flavoring are often in powder form, they tend to accumulate in the storage tanks, forming a suspended layer that cannot leak from the outlet. The manual stirring method has certain limitations. A sealing cap with a magnetic block embedded in its back is used. Based on the principle of like poles repelling each other, the cap, positioned directly above the magnetic ring, exerts an upward magnetic force, blocking the outlet at the bottom of the storage tank and preventing spillage. An adsorbent iron block is embedded in the leakage trough; when the storage tank rotates to a position directly above the trough, the magnetic block and the adsorbent iron block attract each other, allowing the sealing cap to fully open from the outlet and facilitate leakage. However, in actual use, this method requires individual weighing, making it impossible to weigh multiple flavorings simultaneously, resulting in long mixing times and low efficiency. Further improvements are needed. Additionally, removing the flavorings after mixing is cumbersome and requires further refinement.

A support rod is fixedly installed on the top surface of the other end of the base frame, and the support rod is hinged to the bottom surface of one end of the rotating frame through a first hinge seat. A vibration motor is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the hopper.

[0008] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided on one side surface of the tilting frame, and a T-shaped block is fixedly installed on the other side surface of the weighing tank, with the T-shaped block penetrating the guide groove and slidingly abutting against it.

[0009] Furthermore, the material tanks are arranged in multiple sets, and the top surface of the material tanks is connected to the feed hopper through the servo motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the weighing controller is fixedly connected to the tilting frame, and the output end of the weighing controller is electrically connected to the input end of the slide valve, servo motor and electric cylinder.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a tobacco flavoring and fragrance formulation mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) This utility model adopts a flip-up weighing tank. When mixing ingredients, different types of tobacco flavorings and fragrances are placed in different material tanks. The slide valve is opened at the same time, and the servo motor drives the auger to rotate, transporting the tobacco flavorings and fragrances to the weighing tank. The weighing sensor weighs the weight. After the set ratio weight is reached, the weighing sensor triggers the closure of the slide valve and the servo motor. Then, the electric cylinder extends, and the slider moves along the guide rod while pushing the flipping frame and the weighing tank to flip. The flip plate flips along the rotating shaft by gravity to open one end of the weighing tank. The tobacco flavorings and fragrances are flipped and poured into the bottom hopper and flow out along the bottom opening of the bottom hopper, completing the mixing of multiple flavorings and fragrances at the same time, improving the mixing speed and mixing efficiency.

[0017] (2) This utility model adopts a bottom hopper and a vibrating motor. After the tobacco flavoring and fragrance enters the bottom hopper, the vibrating motor starts synchronously. Through high-frequency vibration, the tobacco flavoring and fragrance slides down quickly through the bottom opening of the bottom hopper, avoiding the blockage of powdered flavoring and fragrance at the bottom opening. At the same time, it reduces the phenomenon of flavoring and fragrance adhesion, improves the smoothness of discharge, and improves the stability of the ingredients. Attached Figure Description

The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tobacco flavoring and fragrance formulation mechanism is provided.

[0027] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, a tobacco flavoring and fragrance mixing mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1 and a hopper 2. The housing 1 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the hopper 2, and a material tank 4 is fixedly connected through the top surface of the housing 1. A material channel 9 is connected through the bottom surface of the material tank 4. A servo motor 6 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the material tank 4, and a stirring rod 7 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 6. The stirring rod 7 prevents bridging of powdered flavoring and fragrance, and the bottom of the stirring rod 7 extends into the material channel 9. An auger 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom of the stirring rod 7 inside the material channel 9, which is a common conveying mechanism. A slide valve 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom opening of the material channel 9, which is a common closed structure. A base frame 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the material tank 4. A tilting frame 18 is installed inside the base frame 12 below the material discharge channel 9. A weighing trough 11 is installed inside the tilting frame 18 below the material discharge channel 9. A flap 14 is rotatably connected to one end of the weighing trough 11 via a rotating shaft 13. When the opening of the weighing trough 11 is vertically upward, the flap 14 closes one end of the weighing trough 11 to prevent the fragrance and flavoring from falling out of the weighing trough 11. A weighing controller 15 is installed between the bottom surface of the weighing trough 11 and the tilting frame 18. End blocks 21 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the tilting frame 18. Guide rods 23 are fixedly connected between the end blocks 21. A slider 22 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the guide rods 23. An electric cylinder 25 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the frame 12, and the moving rod of the electric cylinder 25 is hinged to the slider 22 through the second hinge seat 24. A support rod 16 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the other end of the frame 12, and the support rod 16 is hinged to the bottom surface of one end of the tilting frame 18 through the first hinge seat 17. A vibration motor 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the hopper 2. During the batching process, different types of tobacco flavorings and fragrances are placed in different material tanks 4. The slide valve 10 is opened simultaneously, and the servo motor 6 drives the auger 8 to rotate, conveying the tobacco flavorings and fragrances to the weighing tank 11. The weighing sensor weighs the contents. After the set batch weight is reached, the weighing sensor triggers the closure of the slide valve 10 and the servo motor 6. Subsequently, the electric cylinder 25 is closed. As cylinder 25 extends, slider 22 moves along guide rod 23 while pushing tilting frame 18 and weighing tank 11 to tilt. Flip plate 14 tilts along rotating shaft 13 by gravity to open one end of weighing tank 11, and tobacco flavorings are tilted and poured into hopper 2, flowing out along bottom opening of hopper 2. This completes the simultaneous mixing of multiple flavorings, improving mixing speed and efficiency. At the same time, after tobacco flavorings enter hopper 2, vibration motor 3 starts synchronously, using high-frequency vibration to make tobacco flavorings slide down quickly through bottom opening of hopper 2, avoiding blockage of powdered flavorings at bottom opening, reducing flavoring adhesion, improving discharge smoothness, and improving mixing stability.

[0028] In one embodiment, a guide groove 19 is provided on one side surface of the flipping frame 18, and a T-shaped block 20 is fixedly installed on the other side surface of the weighing tank 11. The T-shaped block 20 passes through the guide groove 19 and slides against the guide groove 19. The T-shaped block 20 prevents the weighing tank 11 from falling when it is flipped, and at the same time, it does not affect the weighing of the weighing tank 11.

[0029] In one embodiment, multiple sets of material tanks 4 are arranged, and the top surface of the material tank 4 is connected to the feed hopper 5 through one side of the servo motor 6, which facilitates the replenishment of tobacco flavorings and fragrances.

[0030] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the weighing controller 15 is fixedly connected to the tilting frame 18, and the output end of the weighing controller 15 is electrically connected to the input end of the slide valve 10, the servo motor 6 and the electric cylinder 25, which facilitates automated control and is a common control structure.

[0031] In one embodiment, the inner bottom surface of the hopper 2 is polished to facilitate the sliding of tobacco flavorings and fragrances, reducing residue.

[0032] In one embodiment, the rotating shaft 13 passes through the flap 14 and is fixedly connected to the flap 14, and the rotating shaft 13 passes through the side wall of the weighing tank 11 and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the weighing tank 11 through a bearing, thereby improving the stability of the flap 14 flipping.

[0033] In one embodiment, both the base frame 12 and the tilting frame 18 adopt an L-shaped structure, which facilitates the tilting of the weighing tank 11 to discharge the tobacco flavoring and fragrance.

[0034] In one embodiment, the servo motor 6, stirring rod 7, feeding channel 9, material tank 4, and auger 8 are arranged coaxially to improve the stability of material discharge.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] During the mixing process, different types of tobacco flavorings and fragrances are placed in different material tanks 4. Simultaneously, the slide valve 10 opens, and the servo motor 6 drives the auger 8 to rotate, conveying the tobacco flavorings and fragrances into the weighing tank 11. A weighing sensor measures the weight, and once the set mixing ratio is reached, the weighing sensor triggers the closure of the slide valve 10 and the servo motor 6. Subsequently, the electric cylinder 25 extends, and the slider 22 moves along the guide rod 23 while simultaneously pushing the tilting frame 18 and the weighing tank 11 to tilt. The tilting plate 14 then tilts along the rotation axis 13 due to gravity. Turning the weighing tank 11 open, the tobacco flavorings and fragrances are tilted and poured into the hopper 2, flowing out along the bottom opening of the hopper 2. This completes the simultaneous mixing of multiple flavorings and fragrances, improving the mixing speed and efficiency. At the same time, after the tobacco flavorings and fragrances enter the hopper 2, the vibrating motor 3 starts synchronously, using high-frequency vibration to make the tobacco flavorings and fragrances slide down quickly through the bottom opening of the hopper 2, avoiding blockage of powdered flavorings and fragrances at the bottom opening. This also reduces the adhesion of flavorings and fragrances, improves the smoothness of discharge, and enhances the stability of mixing.
