Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cigarette equipment technology, and specifically to a multifunctional telescopic plate for a filter rod launcher. Background Technology

[0002] The filter rod forming workshop is responsible for the production and transportation of filter rods in the cigarette factory. After being cured for a period of time, the produced filter rods are sent to the cigarette rolling workshop by the filter rod launcher. The filter rod launcher mainly consists of a filter rod unloading machine, a conveying channel, a material silo, and launching units. Its working principle is as follows: the unloading machine flips the full trays of filter rods into boxes. The flipped filter rods are sent to the material silo through the conveying channel. The lower part of the material silo is divided into several launching units of the same size by partitions. Each launching unit is equipped with a launching drum. By rotating the launching drum, the filter rods are transported to the launching pipe. Finally, under the action of high-pressure air, the filter rods in the launching pipe are launched to the cigarette rolling workshop.

[0003] Because there is a vertical drop of approximately 300mm between the feed hopper inlet and the launching unit, if filter rods are added before the hopper is full, the rods are prone to tilting during their descent, causing them to become disorganized. Therefore, before launching the filter rods, the hopper is usually filled manually to ensure the stack height is level with the feed hopper. Currently, there are two methods for adding filter rods: First, workers manually fill the hopper with filter rods; second, the filter rod launching machine is activated, and after the filter rods are conveyed to the feed hopper inlet via the conveyor channel, workers wrap the rods with plastic strips and slowly place them at the bottom of the hopper before removing the strips. This process is repeated until the hopper is full. Due to the large capacity of the hopper, both methods of adding filter rods are slow and inefficient, potentially delaying production. The speed of filter rod replacement is particularly important when the current batch of filter rods has quality issues and needs to be replaced with a new batch. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a multi-functional telescopic plate for a filter rod launcher, which aims to solve the problem of low efficiency when adding filter rods to an empty hopper.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

[0006] A multifunctional telescopic plate for a filter rod emitter includes a material hopper and partitions. Several partitions are evenly spaced at the bottom of the material hopper, forming an emitter unit between adjacent partitions. The telescopic plate is symmetrically installed within the material hopper and includes a first plate, a second plate, a third plate, and a magnetic plate. The first plate is hinged within the material hopper, and a second plate is slidably connected within the first plate. A first limiting component to prevent slippage is installed on the second plate, and a third plate is slidably connected within the second plate. A second limiting component to prevent slippage is installed on the third plate, and a magnetic plate is hinged to the end of the third plate.

[0007] Optionally, in some embodiments, supports are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the silo, one end of the No. 1 plate is hinged to the support, and the other end has a first groove, in which the No. 2 plate is slidably connected.

[0008] Optionally, in some embodiments, one end of the second plate has a first mounting groove, in which a first limiting component is fixedly connected. A first limiting hole corresponding to the first limiting component is also opened on the side of the first plate. The other end of the second plate has a second sliding groove, in which a third plate is slidably connected.

[0009] Optionally, in some embodiments, a second mounting groove is opened at one end of the third plate, a second limiting component is fixedly connected in the second mounting groove, a second limiting hole corresponding to the second limiting component is also opened on the side of the second plate, and a magnet plate is hinged to the other end of the third plate.

[0010] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first limiting component includes a first sleeve, a first spring, and a first limiting pin. The first sleeve is fixedly connected in a first mounting groove, and the first limiting pin is slidably connected inside the first sleeve. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected inside the first sleeve, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first limiting pin.

[0011] Optionally, in some embodiments, the second limiting component includes a second sleeve, a second spring, and a second limiting pin. The second sleeve is fixedly connected in the second mounting groove, and the second limiting pin is slidably connected inside the second sleeve. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected inside the second sleeve, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second limiting pin.

[0012] Optionally, in some embodiments, the magnet plate has an insertion hole, and the partition plate has a corresponding fixing hole. When the insertion hole and the fixing hole are aligned, the position of the telescopic plate can be fixed by a pin.

[0013] Optionally, in some embodiments, an iron sheet is fixed to the side of the storage hopper, and the telescopic plate is stored by adsorbing and fixing the magnetic plate to the iron sheet.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0015] This application involves symmetrically installing telescopic plates inside the material silo. When adding filter rods to an empty silo, the end faces of the two telescopic plates are aligned to form a receiving platform. The receiving platform is then slowly lowered, gradually filling the silo with filter rods. Finally, the two telescopic plates are separated and gradually moved to the sides of the silo, thus filling the silo with filter rods. This eliminates the need for manual addition by workers, improving filter rod filling efficiency and ensuring normal production line operation. Attached Figure Description

[0033] This application proposes improvements and innovations, and presents the following embodiments.

[0034] A multi-functional telescopic plate for a filter rod launcher includes a material storage 1 and partitions 3. The material storage 1 is a hollow square structure made of transparent acrylic sheet. Several partitions 3 are installed at equal intervals at its bottom, and launch units are formed between adjacent partitions 3. Launching drums 2 are installed at the bottom of each launching unit. Grooves are evenly arranged on the wheel surface of the launching drums 2, and negative pressure suction holes are opened at the bottom of the grooves. In use, the filter rods are adsorbed at the grooves under the action of negative pressure suction holes. As the launching drums 2 rotate, the filter rods are transported to the launching pipe of the filter rod launcher. Finally, under the action of high-pressure air, the filter rods at the launching pipe are launched to the packaging workshop, completing the transportation.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Telescopic plates 4 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the material storage 1. The telescopic plates 4 include a first plate 41, a second plate 42, a third plate 43, and a magnetic plate 44. The first plate 41 is hinged inside the material storage 1, and the second plate 42 is slidably connected inside the first plate 41. A first limiting component 7 is installed on the second plate 42 to limit the sliding range of the second plate 42 and prevent slippage. The third plate 43 is slidably connected inside the second plate 42. A second limiting component 8 is installed on the third plate 43 to prevent slippage, and a magnetic plate 44 is hinged to the end of the third plate 43, thus forming a three-stage telescopic structure for the telescopic plates 4.

[0036] When using, please refer to Figure 1 The worker opens the maintenance door 12 of the material storage silo 1, extends the telescopic plates 4 on both sides, causing the magnetic plates 44 at the ends of the two telescopic plates 4 to attract each other, forming a receiving platform. The worker then activates the filter rod feeder, allowing the filter rods to enter the material storage silo 1 from the feed inlet 11 and fill the receiving platform. Then, see... Figure 2 The worker holds two magnetic plates 44 and slowly pulls the telescopic plate 4 downwards, gradually transforming it into a V-shape, thus filling the material hopper 1 with filter rods. When the lowest point of the telescopic plate 4 reaches the launching unit, the worker separates the two magnetic plates 44, forming a funnel-shaped structure between them. The filter rods then slide through the gap into the launching unit. (See also...) Figure 3 Finally, the workers gradually move the telescopic plates 4 to their respective storage positions, allowing the filter rods to gradually fill each emitting unit, completing the filling process. This method of filling eliminates the need for manual addition by workers, improving filter rod filling efficiency and ensuring normal production line operation.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 Supports 13 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the material storage 1. One end of the first plate 41 is hinged to the support 13, and the other end has a first sliding groove 411. The second plate 42 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 411. One end of the second plate 42 has a first mounting groove 423. The first limiting component 7 is fixedly connected in the first mounting groove 423. The side of the first plate 41 also has a first limiting hole 412 corresponding to the first limiting component 7. The other end of the second plate 42 has a second sliding groove 421. The third plate 43 is slidably connected in the second sliding groove 421. One end of the third plate 43 has a second mounting groove 431. The second limiting component 8 is fixedly connected in the second mounting groove 431. The side of the second plate 42 also has a second limiting hole 422 corresponding to the second limiting component 8. The other end of the third plate 43 is hinged to a magnet plate 44.

[0038] See Figure 7The first limiting component 7 includes a first sleeve 71, a first spring 72, and a first limiting pin 73. The first sleeve 71 is fixedly connected to the first mounting groove 423 by means of adhesive bonding or other methods, and the first limiting pin 73 is slidably connected inside the first sleeve 71. The size of the first limiting pin 73 is the same as that of the first limiting hole 412, and the end of the first limiting pin 73 near the first limiting hole 412 is hemispherical. One end of the first spring 72 is fixedly connected to the first sleeve 71, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first limiting pin 73. When the second plate 42 is retracted, the first limiting pin 73 is retracted into the first sleeve 71 under the pressure of the first plate 41, and the first spring 72 is in a compressed state. As the second plate 42 extends, when the first mounting groove 423 aligns with the first limiting hole 412, under the action of elastic force, the end of the first limiting pin 73 extends out of the first sleeve 71 and is engaged at the first limiting hole 412, thereby preventing the second plate 42 from slipping off.

[0039] See Figure 8 The second limiting component 8 includes a second sleeve 81, a second spring 82, and a second limiting pin 83. The second sleeve 81 is fixedly connected to the second mounting groove 431, and the second limiting pin 83 is slidably connected inside the second sleeve 81. One end of the second spring 82 is fixedly connected inside the second sleeve 81, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second limiting pin 83. It should be noted that the structure and working principle of the second limiting component 8 are the same as those of the first limiting component 7, the difference being the installation position and component size. Its specific dimensions can be adjusted according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The side of the material storage 1 is fixed with an iron sheet 5 by screws. When it is necessary to store the telescopic plate 4, the telescopic plate 4 can be stored by adsorbing and fixing the magnetic plate 44 to the iron sheet 5, so as to avoid the telescopic plate 4 interfering with the filter rod sliding into each emission unit.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 3 Because there are no isolation devices between the various launching units of the filter rod emitter, when a launching unit malfunctions and needs repair, it is usually necessary to shut down the entire machine and empty the material storage hopper 1, which seriously affects the effective operating rate of the equipment. Alternatively, when only some launching units of the filter rod emitter need to work, the filter rods above the idle launching units will not be used for a long time, and prolonged storage can easily lead to quality risks. Therefore, the magnet plate 44 has insertion holes 441, and the partition plate 3 has corresponding fixing holes 31. When it is necessary to suspend the use of some launching units, one of the telescopic plates 4 is stretched and rotated to align the insertion holes 441 on the magnet plate 44 with the fixing holes 31 on the partition plate 3, and then fixed with the pins 6. This fixes the position of the telescopic plate 4, blocking some launching units and preventing filter rods from accumulating at the idle launching units for a long time.

[0042] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
