[0022] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.
[0023] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used are commercially available. Unless otherwise specified, the equipment used in the experiments is well known to those skilled in the art.
[0024] This utility model provides a multi-head tobacco shredder, including a base 1, a feed inlet 2, a conveyor 3, a flattening mechanism 4, and a drive mechanism 5. The feed inlet 2 is located on one side of the top of the base 1, and the conveyor 3 is installed on the other side of the top of the base 1. The drive mechanism 5 is installed inside the base 1, and its top extends to the outside of the top of the base 1. A main blade 6 is bolted to the top of the drive mechanism 5 above the conveyor 3. Shredding assemblies are symmetrically installed on the top of the drive mechanism 5. Two first mounting seats 7 are installed on the side of the base 1 away from the feed inlet 2. The two first mounting seats 7 are inclined, and one side of the top of the two first mounting seats 7 is located below one side of the conveyor 3. Each side is provided with a chute 8, and a slider 9 is slidably installed in each of the two chute 8s. A filter screen 10 is installed between the two sliders 9. Several compression springs 11 are installed at the bottom of each of the two sliders 9, and the other end of the compression springs 11 is connected to the bottom of the chute 8. A drive assembly is installed on one side of one of the two first mounting seats 7. The conveyor 3 can transport the tobacco raw material that needs to be shredded. The flattening mechanism 4 uses a flattening roller or a flattening plate to flatten the original fluffy tobacco raw material, so that the tobacco raw material can be better shredded. The drive mechanism 5 uses a crank connecting rod mechanism or a slide rail slider 9 mechanism, etc., to drive the main blade 6 and the secondary blade 17 to move up and down reciprocally. The structural design and operation mode of the conveyor 3, the flattening mechanism 4, and the drive mechanism 5 are all publicly disclosed existing technologies.
[0025] The shredding assembly includes two second mounting seats 12, which are symmetrically mounted on the top of the drive mechanism 5. Each of the two second mounting seats 12 has a first mounting groove 13 on its opposite side. Two central shafts 14 are symmetrically mounted on the opposite side of the two first mounting grooves 13. A connecting rod 15 is fitted around the periphery of the central shaft 14. A mounting plate 16 is mounted on the bottom end of the connecting rod 15 on the side away from the first mounting groove 13. A secondary blade 17 is bolted to the bottom end of one side of the mounting plate 16. The position and angle of the secondary blade 17 can be adjusted by rotating the connecting rod 15. The secondary blade 17 is fixed by bolts. The operator can choose whether to use the secondary blade 17 according to the specific use of the device and the shape and size of the tobacco raw material.
[0026] A fixing bolt 18 is installed on one side of the top of the second mounting base 12, and the fixing bolt 18 passes through the second mounting base 12 and the central shaft 14 and extends to the bottom of the second mounting base 12.
[0027] The second mounting base 12 has a nut 19 installed at the bottom of the base, which is located directly below the fixing bolt 18. The nut 19 matches the fixing bolt 18. By rotating the fixing bolt 18, the upper and lower ends of the first mounting groove 13 can squeeze the connecting rod 15. The connecting rod 15 is fixed by friction between the connecting rod 15 and the first mounting groove 13, thereby fixing the position of the secondary blade 17.
[0028] The drive assembly includes a motor 20, which is mounted on one side of one of the two first mounting bases 7. The output end of the motor 20 is connected to a cam 21 via a coupling. The motor 20 drives the cam 21 to rotate. When the protruding end of the cam 21 contacts the slider 9, the cam 21 will squeeze the slider 9, causing the slider 9 to move downward in the groove 8. As the cam 21 continues to rotate, the protruding end of the cam 21 gradually moves away from the slider 9. At this time, the slider 9 is no longer squeezed. Under the rebound action of the compression spring 11, the slider 9 moves upward and vibrates, which facilitates the dispersing of tobacco shreds and causes the debris to fall from the filter screen 10.
[0029] The base 1 has a collection box 22 installed at the bottom end on the side away from the feed inlet 2. A collection box 23 is placed on the top of the collection box 22. The collection box 23 includes a first collection groove 24 and a second collection groove 25. The first collection groove 24 is located directly below the filter screen 10, and the length of the first collection groove 24 matches the length of the filter screen 10, which facilitates the separation and recycling of debris and tobacco shreds.
[0030] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Before using the multi-head tobacco shredder, the operator first selects whether to use the secondary blade 17 based on the shape and size of the tobacco raw material. When the secondary blade 17 is needed, the operator installs the secondary blade 17 onto the mounting plate 16 with bolts, and then rotates the connecting rod 15 to a suitable position. After adjustment, the operator connects the power supply to the device and places the tobacco raw material onto the conveyor 3 through the feed inlet 2. The conveyor 3 can move the tobacco raw material, the flattening mechanism 4 can flatten the stacked and fluffy tobacco raw material, and the drive mechanism 5 can drive the main blade 6 and the secondary blade 17 to move up and down. When the tobacco raw material moves with the conveyor 3 to a position below the main blade 6 and the secondary blade 17, the main blade 6 and the secondary blade 17 can cut the tobacco... The tobacco leaves are shredded. When the shredded tobacco moves to the end of the conveyor 3, it falls onto the surface of the filter screen 10 under the action of gravity. The motor 20 drives the cam 21 to rotate. When the protruding end of the cam 21 contacts the slider 9, the cam 21 will squeeze the slider 9, causing the slider 9 to move downward in the slide groove 8. As the cam 21 continues to rotate, the protruding end of the cam 21 gradually moves away from the slider 9. At this time, the slider 9 is no longer squeezed. Under the rebound action of the compression spring 11, the slider 9 moves upward and vibrates, which facilitates the dispersal of the tobacco shreds and causes the debris to fall from the filter screen 10 into the first collection groove 24 below. After the tobacco shreds move to the end of the filter screen 10, they will fall into the second collection groove 25 under the action of gravity. The staff can take out the collection box 23 to recycle the tobacco shreds.
[0031] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various different choices and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
