Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of new tobacco technology, and in particular to a nicotine bag dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] Nicotine pouches, as an innovative tobacco alternative, have seen rapid growth in the global market in recent years. According to the FDA, a nicotine pouch is a small fibrous pouch placed between the gums and upper lip, allowing nicotine to be absorbed through the oral mucosa. Unlike traditional tobacco products, nicotine pouches do not require combustion or heating and produce no smoke, making them environmentally friendly.

[0003] Currently, most nicotine pouch sealing machines are modified from food pouch and carton sealing equipment combined with traditional oral cigarette sealing processes. They employ a multi-row intermittent sealing process, lacking a suitable continuous sealing solution. Furthermore, there is no good continuous flexible discharge solution for the sealed nicotine pouches to accommodate stable discharge from pouches of different lengths. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a nicotine bag discharging device that can stably discharge nicotine bags of different lengths.

[0005] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A nicotine bag dispensing device includes a receiving roller, a dispensing conveyor belt, a drive mechanism, a dispensing frame, and a frame height adjustment mechanism. The receiving roller, the dispensing conveyor belt, and the drive mechanism are mounted on the dispensing frame. The receiving roller is located above the dispensing conveyor belt and is used to clamp and drop the packaged nicotine bags onto the dispensing conveyor belt. The drive mechanism is connected to the dispensing conveyor belt and is used to drive the dispensing conveyor belt to move. The frame height adjustment mechanism is connected to the dispensing frame and is used to adjust the height of the dispensing frame, thereby adjusting the height of the receiving roller and the dispensing conveyor belt mounted on the dispensing frame.

[0006] Preferably, the discharge conveyor belt comprises multiple belts arranged in parallel with gaps between adjacent belts.

[0007] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a motor, a sprocket, and a pulley assembly connected in sequence, and the discharge conveyor belt is mounted on the pulley assembly, so that the motor drives the pulley assembly to rotate through the sprocket, thereby driving the discharge conveyor belt to move.

[0008] Preferably, the frame height adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment screw and a frame connecting block. The adjustment screw is connected to the discharge frame through the frame connecting block so that the height of the discharge frame can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment screw.

[0009] Preferably, the adjusting screw is provided with an adjusting knob at the top, so as to rotate the adjusting screw by adjusting the knob.

[0010] Preferably, the frame height adjustment mechanism further includes a digital display, which is connected to the frame connecting block and is used to display the height data of the material frame.

[0011] Preferably, the frame height adjustment mechanism further includes a left linear guide rail and a right linear guide rail. The back of the discharge frame is provided with a left guide groove and a right guide groove. The left linear guide rail and the right linear guide rail cooperate with the left guide groove and the right guide groove respectively to guide the discharge frame to move in the vertical direction.

[0012] Compared to existing technologies, this utility model's nicotine bag dispensing device connects to the dispensing frame via a frame height adjustment mechanism. This allows for adjustment of the dispensing frame's height, which in turn adjusts the height of the receiving rollers and the dispensing conveyor belt mounted on the frame. This enables the device to adapt to different bag lengths by adjusting the height of the receiving rollers and the dispensing conveyor belt, ensuring that the sealed nicotine bags fall stably onto the flexible conveyor belt. Furthermore, the dispensing conveyor belt comprises multiple belts arranged in parallel with gaps between adjacent belts, allowing excess nicotine powder on the bags to be sieved off (scattering through the belts) and preventing accumulation.

The adjusting screw 9 is connected to the discharge frame 3 through the frame connecting block 8, so that the height of the discharge frame 3 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 9. An adjusting knob 10 is provided on the top of the adjusting screw 9, so that the adjusting screw 9 can be rotated by adjusting the knob 10.

[0027] In this embodiment, the frame height adjustment mechanism also includes a digital display 11, which is connected to the frame connecting block 8 and is used to display the height data of the material handling frame 3 to record the current position for future production changeover management.

[0028] In this embodiment, the frame height adjustment mechanism also includes a left linear guide rail 7 and a right linear guide rail 6. The back of the discharge frame 3 is provided with a left guide groove and a right guide groove. The left linear guide rail 7 and the right linear guide rail 6 cooperate with the left guide groove and the right guide groove respectively to guide the discharge frame 3 to move in the up and down direction.
