Detailed Implementation
[0014] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.
[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "one end", "the other end", "outer side", "upper", "inner side", "horizontal", "coaxial", "center", "end", "length", "outer end", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0016] Combined with appendix Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a quick-release cigarette separating wheel, including a plurality of cigarettes 1, a storage bin 2, a separating wheel 3, a fixing component 4, and a limiting separating component 5. The separating wheel 3 includes a plurality of tobacco grooves 31 and a rotating shaft 32. The outer shell of the separating wheel 3 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 32. The storage bin 2 is used to store the cigarettes 1 and allow the cigarettes 1 to enter the tobacco grooves 31. One end of the rotating shaft 32 is detachably connected to the fixing component 4, and the other end is connected to the drive unit 6. The drive unit 6 is used to rotate the separating wheel 3. The limiting separating component 5 includes a limiting separating part 51 and a housing 52. One end of the limiting separating part 51 is externally connected to a driving device, causing the limiting separating part 51 to reciprocate and separate the cigarettes 1 from the tobacco grooves 31.
[0017] In combination with the above, the storage bin 2 includes an inclined surface 21 and a discharge port 22. The cigarettes 1 are arranged sequentially on the inclined surface 21. The inclined surface 21 is set at an angle downward, so that the cigarettes 1 move towards the discharge port 22 by their own weight and leave the storage bin 2 sequentially from the discharge port 22.
[0018] Based on the above installation structure, the tobacco troughs 31 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the separating wheel 3, with a number of 3 to 10. Preferably, in this embodiment, the separating wheel 3 has 8 tobacco troughs 31. The cigarette roll 1 leaving the discharge port 22 can just enter the empty tobacco trough 31, and under the action of centrifugal force, it rotates together with the separating wheel 3 in the tobacco trough 31 until it is separated by the limiting separation part 51 to the subsequent process. The tobacco trough 31 is then empty again for the next cycle.
[0019] In combination with the above, the fixing component 4 includes a fixing plate 41 and a fixing member 42. The end of the rotating shaft 32 is connected through the fixing plate 41 and the fixing member 42. The rotating shaft 32 can drive the fixing member 42 to rotate in coordination. Preferably, in this embodiment, the fixing member 42 is made of rubber, which can generate friction at the connection between the rotating shaft 32 and the fixing member 42, preventing the fixing member 42 from being thrown out when the rotating shaft 32 rotates. The fixing plate 41 provides support for the end of the rotating shaft 32, so that the separating wheel 3 can be kept horizontally set for rotation, thereby improving the stability of the separating wheel 3 when rotating.
[0020] Based on the above installation structure, when the separator wheel 3 needs to be disassembled for various reasons, first remove the fixing part 42 from the rotating shaft 32, then remove the fixing plate 41 from the rotating shaft 32, and finally remove and replace the outer shell of the separator wheel 3 from the rotating shaft 32. The whole disassembly process is simple, labor-saving, and time-saving.
[0021] In summary, the limiting separation part 51 includes a push rod part 511, a limiting part 512, and a drive shaft 513. The push rod part 511 penetrates the side of the housing 52, and the end of the drive shaft 513 is connected to a drive device. Preferably, the drive device is a cylinder; in other embodiments, a drive device commonly used in the prior art can also be used. To facilitate the explanation of the cooperation relationship between the limiting separation part 51 and the separation wheel 3, the accompanying drawings are provided. Figure 3As shown in the diagram, the drive unit can move the transmission shaft 513 to the left, causing the push rod 511 to move to the left. The end of the push rod 511 can enter the smoke tray 31. If a cigarette 1 is placed in the smoke tray 31, the push rod 511 pushes the cigarette 1 to move along the direction of the smoke tray 31, entering the subsequent processing step. Then, the drive unit drives the push rod 511 to the right, causing the push rod 511 to leave the smoke tray 31, preventing the push rod 511 from colliding with the smoke tray 31 and damaging the separating wheel 3. The positional relationship between the limiting separating part 51 and the separating wheel 3, as well as the direction of movement of the limiting separating part 51, are as shown in the attached diagram. In specific product applications, the on-site positional relationship shall prevail, and it can also be a vertical or horizontal positional relationship.
[0022] In combination with the above, the rotation speed of the separating wheel 3 and the driving speed of the driving device are matched to each other, so that the time for the limiting separating part 51 to perform one reciprocating motion is much less than the time required for the smoke trough 31 to leave the separation position, wherein the separation position is the position when the smoke trough 31 is located at the top of the separating wheel 3.
[0023] In combination with the above, the limiting part 512 is used to abut against the inner side of the housing 52 to limit the limiting separation part 51, and to prevent the push rod part 511 from extending too far into the smoke slot 31 due to inertia.
[0024] In conjunction with the above installation structure, a guide groove 411 is provided on the upper part of the fixing plate 41. After the cigarette roll 1 is separated from the cigarette groove 31, it enters the guide groove 411 and enters the subsequent processing steps along the direction of the guide groove 411.
[0025] In conjunction with the above installation structure, when disassembling the separating wheel 3, the drive device can be turned off, and the push rod part 511 can be inserted into the smoke groove 31 and kept fixed to achieve limit braking of the separating wheel 3, preventing the separating wheel 3 from rotating when disassembling the fixing component 4, thus improving the safety when disassembling the separating wheel 3.
[0026] This invention allows for quick disassembly by removing the fixing component at the end of the separating wheel. During disassembly, the separating wheel can be limited and braked to improve safety during assembly and disassembly. It can process multiple cigarettes during operation and has a good cigarette separation effect.
[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, or alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical principles of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
