Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco packing technology, specifically to a tobacco compaction machine. Background Technology

[0002] Packing and compacting tobacco shreds is a crucial step in tobacco processing. How to evenly compact the tobacco shreds inside the box while preventing them from overflowing and causing waste and deterioration of the workshop environment is a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in tobacco processing.

[0003] CN221330183U discloses a tobacco pressing device, which simply compacts tobacco shreds, assuming that the tobacco shreds in the pressing container are evenly distributed. However, in actual working conditions without human intervention, after the tobacco shreds are packed into boxes by automated equipment, the tobacco shreds in the box are usually unevenly distributed. This results in uneven stress on the compaction equipment and uneven distribution of the tobacco shreds after compaction.

[0004] CN 211996221 U discloses a positioning and packing device for compressing tobacco shreds. However, when the device is in use, after the tobacco shreds enter the tobacco box, the tobacco shreds will accumulate in a certain part of the tobacco box. When pressing down, the pressure head is unevenly stressed, and the tobacco shreds in the tobacco box are not flat after pressing down.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for equipment that can effectively improve the uniformity of tobacco packing. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a tobacco shred compaction machine that can ensure uniform distribution of tobacco shreds during packing to guarantee uniform compaction. Furthermore, during the process from the bottom of the press head contacting the tobacco shreds to the bottom of the press head, the grid-like structure of the press head facilitates the release of gas during the pressing process, thereby improving compaction efficiency.

[0007] Specifically, this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0008] A tobacco shred compaction machine includes: a frame, a pressing component, a fixed hopper, a lifting hopper, and a tobacco box positioning device. The pressing component, the fixed hopper, the lifting hopper, and the tobacco box positioning device are all mounted on the frame. The pressing head of the pressing component is located inside the fixed hopper, and the lifting hopper is located below the fixed hopper.

[0009] The fixed hopper is equipped with a feeding plate, which is configured to swing to ensure that the tobacco shreds fall evenly into the tobacco box. In the initial state, the feeding plate is in a vertical state; the pressure head is a grid-like structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed hopper includes:

[0011] The cover is fixed to the frame;

[0012] The dust collection pipe is fixedly installed on the cover.

[0013] A pivot is located inside the cover, and the fabric plate is fixed on the pivot.

[0014] The swing drive is located on the outside of the cover and connected to the rotating shaft. It is used to drive the rotating shaft to swing, thereby causing the fabric plate to swing.

[0015] Furthermore, the swing drive is mounted on the cover via a support, and the swing drive is connected to the rotating shaft via a linkage mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, lifting drive components are provided on both sides of the lifting hopper, and its other two sides are connected to vertical guide rails.

[0017] Furthermore, the lifting hopper includes:

[0018] Hopper support;

[0019] The hopper body is fixedly installed on the hopper support;

[0020] The guide wheel is mounted on the hopper support via a guide seat, and the guide wheel is in contact with the guide rail.

[0021] The mounting plate is fixedly installed on the hopper support and is used to install the lifting drive components.

[0022] Furthermore, the pressing component also includes a geared motor and an electric cylinder. The electric cylinder is mounted on the frame via an electric cylinder bracket, with one end connected to the geared motor and the other end fitted with the pressing head.

[0023] Furthermore, the cigarette box positioning device includes:

[0024] The baffle mechanism is located on both sides of the tobacco box;

[0025] A baffle cylinder, connected to the baffle mechanism, is used to drive the baffle mechanism to move horizontally to contact or move away from the smoke box.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] After the equipment starts, the empty cigarette box delivered from the upstream equipment is placed at the packing station. The baffle cylinder 8 drives the baffle mechanism 7 to extend forward, positioning the cigarette box 9. Once the cigarette box 9 is in place, the lifting hopper 4 descends and inserts into the cigarette box 9, achieving a seamless connection to prevent material overflow. After the lifting hopper 4 descends to its final position, the upstream feeding equipment begins feeding material into the fixed hopper 3. Simultaneously, the swing drive component, through the linkage mechanism 33, drives the material distribution plate 35 inside the fixed hopper 3 to swing back and forth at a certain angle, achieving uniform material spreading. After the cigarette box 9 is filled with the specified weight of material, the upstream equipment stops feeding. The material distribution plate 35 stops swinging and returns to its initial position.

[0028] After the fabric plate 35 returns to its vertical position (initial position), the electric cylinder 22 drives the pressure head 24 to begin pressing down. The pressing process gradually slows down until it reaches the set position. At this point, the pressure head 24 is stabilized under the braking force of the motor to maintain pressure. After maintaining pressure for a certain period, the electric cylinder 22 drives the pressure head 24 to rise and return to its initial position. While the pressure head is maintaining pressure, the lifting hopper 4 rises back to its starting position, and the baffle cylinder 8 drives the baffle mechanism 7 to retract. After the pressure maintenance is completed, once the pressure head 24, lifting hopper 4, baffle mechanism 7, and other moving devices have all returned to their starting positions, the compacted cigarette box is sent to the downstream station, and the empty cigarette box is placed back in the loading position, repeating the above process.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] (1) The tobacco compactor provided by this utility model can adjust the position of the tobacco entering the tobacco box by swinging the cloth plate, thereby achieving uniform distribution of tobacco and ensuring uniform compaction of tobacco.

[0031] (2) When in use, the lifting hopper extends into the tobacco box, realizing a seamless connection between the fixed hopper and the tobacco box, which can prevent material overflow and avoid waste caused by tobacco overflowing outside the tobacco box and deterioration of the workshop production environment.

[0032] (3) The pressure head adopts a grid structure. During the process from the bottom of the pressure head to the bottom of the pressure head, the grid structure is conducive to the release of gas during the pressing process, thereby improving the compaction efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a tobacco shred compaction machine, including: a frame 1, a pressing component 2, a fixed hopper 3, a lifting hopper 4, and a tobacco box positioning device, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0043] The pressing component 2 includes a geared motor 21, an electric cylinder 22, and a pressing head 24. The electric cylinder 22 is mounted on the frame 1 via an electric cylinder bracket 23. One end of the cylinder is connected to the geared motor 21, and the other end is fitted with the pressing head 24. The electric cylinder 22 drives the pressing head 24 to rise and fall, thus achieving the compaction function. Figure 2 As shown, the pressure head 24 has a grid-like structure. During the process from the bottom of the pressure head 24 contacting the tobacco to the bottom of the pressure head 24, the grid-like structure facilitates the release of gas during the pressing process, thereby improving the compaction efficiency.

[0044] like Figure 3-4As shown, the fixed hopper 3 includes a cover 32, a dust removal pipe 31, a rotating shaft 34, and a material distribution plate 35. The cover 32 is fixed on the frame 1, and the dust removal pipe 31 is located above the cover 32. After the equipment has been used for a period of time, the residual material residue and dust in the fixed hopper 3 can be removed through the dust removal pipe 31. The rotating shaft 34 is located inside the cover 32, and the material distribution plate 35 is fixed on the rotating shaft 34. In the initial state, the material distribution plate 35 is in a vertical state. After the feeding is completed (i.e., after the tobacco in the tobacco box reaches the specified weight), the material distribution plate 35 returns to the initial state, thereby freeing up the downward pressing space of the pressure head 24 and avoiding interference between the two. One end of the rotating shaft 34 is connected to the swing drive (swing cylinder 36) on the outside of the cover 32 through a linkage mechanism 33. The swing cylinder 36 is mounted on the cover 32 through a support 37. The swing cylinder 36 pushes the linkage mechanism 33, which drives the connected rotating shaft 34 to rotate, thereby causing the cloth plate 35 to swing back and forth at a certain angle, guiding the falling tobacco shreds and thus achieving uniform spreading of the material.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the lifting hopper 4 is located below the fixed hopper 3 and includes: a hopper body 41 and a hopper support 44. The hopper body 41 is fixed on the hopper support 44. Guide seats 43 are provided on both sides of the hopper support 44, and guide wheels 42 are installed on the guide seats 43. Mounting plates 45 are provided on the other two sides, and lifting drive components (lifting cylinders 5) are provided on the mounting plates 45. Vertically arranged guide rails 6 are provided on the frame 1. The guide wheels 42 are in contact with the guide rails 6. When the lifting cylinders 5 are activated, the guide wheels 42 move along the guide rails 6, thereby realizing the lifting of the lifting hopper 4.

[0046] The cigarette box positioning device is located on both sides of the cigarette box 9. It includes a baffle cylinder 8 and a baffle mechanism 7. The baffle cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The baffle mechanism 7 is installed on the telescopic shaft end of the baffle cylinder 8. The baffle cylinder 8 drives the baffle mechanism 7 to move in the horizontal direction to contact or move away from the cigarette box 9, thereby achieving the positioning of the cigarette box 9.

[0047] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
