Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-dimensional adjustment device for the nozzle of a tobacco shredder. Background Technology

[0002] In cigarette production, flavoring agents are typically used to improve the aroma and taste of tobacco, enhance the fullness and complexity of the smoke, optimize the stability and uniformity of combustion, reduce quality fluctuations caused by differences in raw materials, and improve the overall quality of the product and the user experience. Flavoring agents are usually applied evenly to the surface of the tobacco raw materials through spraying or impregnation to ensure consistent distribution.

[0003] In the production process, tobacco raw materials enter the mixing drum via a conveyor belt. Nozzles are mounted on supports inside the drum using flange connections. These nozzle supports are typically welded to a pre-defined node on the elliptical end cap at the drum's front end. To maximize the uniformity of the liquid's adhesion to the material, existing technologies mount the nozzle supports on an angle adjustment mechanism, allowing for nozzle angle adjustment within a single plane or two mutually perpendicular planes. However, this method still confines the nozzles within the drum, limiting the adjustment range due to the drum's structural constraints. Furthermore, because materials with different properties exhibit varying trajectories within the drum, adjusting only the nozzle's circumferential angle is insufficient to fully meet the requirements for uniform liquid absorption, spray range, and spray efficiency when the material composition or drum dimensions change. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multi-dimensional adjustment device for the nozzle of a tobacco shredder, aiming to meet the requirements for spraying range, spraying uniformity, and spraying efficiency under different material characteristics and different drum specifications.

[0044] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 The multi-dimensional adjustment device for the nozzle of the tobacco roller in this embodiment includes:

[0046] Z-axis moving mechanism includes Z-axis guide 3, which extends along the Z-axis, and Z-axis guide 3 is provided with lifting block 9 that moves along the Z-axis;

[0047] The Y-axis moving mechanism includes a Y-axis guide 2, which slides along the Y-axis with a first guide rail 7, and the first guide rail 7 is fixed on the lifting block 9.

[0048] The X-axis moving mechanism includes an X-axis guide 1, which slides along the X-axis with a second guide rail 8, and the second guide rail 8 is fixed on the Y-axis guide 2.

[0049] An angle adjustment mechanism 6 is mounted on the X-axis guide 1 and includes two interconnected adjustment modules for adjusting the circumferential angle in the XY plane and the XZ plane, respectively.

[0050] Mounting bracket 5, which is disposed on an adjustment module for adjusting the circumference in the XZ plane, includes at least one mounting position, each mounting position for mounting nozzle 4;

[0051] The nozzle 4 has an adjustable circumferential angle in the XY and XZ planes, and its position in the X, Y, and Z axis directions is adjustable, so that it can extend into or out of the drum.

[0052] This embodiment achieves linear position adjustment of the nozzle by setting up guides that move linearly along three coordinate axes. In use, the entire device is located outside the drum. The position of the device is adjusted so that the extension direction of the X-axis guide is parallel to the length direction of the drum. The X-axis guide is then moved so that the nozzle moves from... Figure 5 The nozzle inlet / outlet 101 at one end of the roller 10 shown extends into the roller 10.

[0053] During drum operation, the spray nozzles spray liquid. On one hand, the X-axis guide frame moves along the X-axis on the second guide rail, adjusting the longitudinal position of the nozzles within the drum and expanding the spray range along the X-axis. On the other hand, the Y-axis guide frame can be adjusted, moving along the Y-axis on the first guide rail, adjusting the lateral position of the nozzles within the drum and expanding the spray range along the Y-axis. Furthermore, the lifting block can be adjusted, moving along the Z-axis guide frame, adjusting the height of the nozzles within the drum and expanding the spray range along the Z-axis. After use, the nozzles are removed from the nozzle inlet / outlet 101. The sliding fit between the X-axis guide frame 1 and the second guide rail 8, and the sliding fit between the Y-axis guide frame and the first guide rail, can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 7 It is understandable that the range of movement of the nozzle along the Y and Z axes is limited by the size of the nozzle inlet / outlet 101. It is also understandable that installing a baffle at the nozzle inlet / outlet 101 can prevent material leakage when the nozzle enters / exits the roller and adjusts its position within the roller, thus meeting the requirements for roller closure.

[0054] In addition, the angle can be pre-adjusted by the angle adjustment mechanism before the nozzle extends into the drum, thereby meeting the usage requirements under different working conditions such as the characteristics of different tobacco materials, the characteristics of different sprayed liquids, and different drum specifications.

[0060] The horizontal disc 61 has a locking connection at the center of the circumference of the first scale line 611, which is used to lock with the first adjusting seat 62.

[0070] The second scale line 641 preferably indicates a range of 0° to 180°. That is, the second adjusting seat 65 can rotate 0° to 180° around the central axis.

[0071] The second adjustment seat 65 has a second mark 652 on its edge, which is used to indicate the scale value on the second scale line 641, so as to accurately identify the adjusted angle.

[0074] In this embodiment, it is further preferred to use two mounting plates 51 to install a total of two nozzles 4. The nozzles of the two nozzles 4 can be on the same side or on different sides. For two nozzles on the same side, since the two mounting plates 51 are at an angle, the spray range of the two nozzles can overlap, which can enhance the spray density and thus improve the spraying efficiency.

[0075] See Figure 1 As a preferred embodiment, the Z-axis guide 3, Y-axis guide 2, and X-axis guide 1 are each provided with linear scale lines indicating the movement position, which facilitates the identification of the movement range.

[0076] As a specific implementation method, the Y-axis guide and X-axis guide can be driven manually directly, or driven by other drive mechanisms.
