Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tobacco stem storage cabinets, specifically to a multi-directional adjustable laser rangefinder bracket for tobacco stem storage cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] In cigarette manufacturing enterprises, tobacco stem and shred storage cabinets, as large-scale storage equipment for tobacco leaves, stems, and shreds, are widely used in tobacco processing production lines. During production, to ensure a stable discharge flow rate and meet the requirements for loading into the cabinet, the percentage of material entering the cabinet needs to be adjusted using a laser rangefinder based on the batch weight of incoming materials. This adjustment, in turn, regulates the operation of the fabric conveyor crane to meet production requirements.

[0003] Known laser rangefinder brackets have a simple overall structure and lack other protective measures. During equipment operation, the laser rangefinder often deviates from the target calibration plate due to factors such as equipment vibration, collisions caused by overtaking vehicles, and accidental activation during equipment maintenance. This leads to invalid ranging results and can even cause bracket deformation, rangefinder damage, equipment downtime, and material flow interruption. Furthermore, the fixed and non-adjustable nature of the bracket structure necessitates the complete dismantling, readjustment, calibration, and reinstallation of the entire bracket after laser deviation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
