Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nicotine bag processing technology, and in particular to a continuous high-speed air blowing feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Nicotine pouches, as an innovative tobacco alternative, have experienced rapid growth in the global market in recent years and are gradually gaining popularity among consumers. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a nicotine pouch is a small fibrous pouch that the user places between the gums and upper lip, allowing the nicotine to be absorbed through the oral mucosa. Compared to traditional tobacco products, nicotine pouches do not require combustion or heating, thus producing no smoke and reducing environmental pollution, offering significant environmental advantages.

[0003] Most existing nicotine pouch sealing machines are based on food pouch or strip packaging equipment and are modified from traditional oral cigarette packaging processes. They typically employ a multi-row intermittent packaging process.

[0004] Specifically, multi-row intermittent packaging processes typically employ multi-row feeding devices. However, each feeding device requires an independent feeding pipeline, meaning the entire system needs multiple pipelines, thus increasing the overall equipment cost. Furthermore, due to the high moisture content of nicotine powder, material blockage is prone to occur, and the complex piping system further increases maintenance difficulty, thereby affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a continuous high-speed air blowing feeding device.

[0006] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A continuous high-speed air-blowing feeding device includes: The indexing venting disc is rotatably set, and multiple air inlets are spaced apart on the outer circumference of the disc. The hopper pallet is coaxially arranged with the indexing vent plate and located above the indexing vent plate, rotating synchronously with the indexing vent plate. Multiple storage compartments are recessed relative to the silo tray for quantitative storage of nicotine powder; Multiple ventilation guide columns are respectively configured to correspond one-to-one with multiple air blowing ports. One end of each ventilation guide column is connected to the air passage of the corresponding air blowing port, and the other end of each ventilation guide column is connected to the air passage of the corresponding storage section. An intake distributor is located at the side end of the indexing vent plate; The discharge distribution pipe is installed above the hopper tray; The feeding pipe is connected to the discharge distribution pipe; When the hopper pallet rotates the storage section to below the discharge distribution pipe for air blowing and feeding, the air inlet distributor is connected to the corresponding air outlet, air guide column and air passage of the storage section.

[0007] Furthermore, a fixed bracket is provided on the side end of the indexing vent plate, and the air intake distributor is installed on the side end of the indexing vent plate through the fixed bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, the hopper tray has a through hole, and the storage part is disposed in the through hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the storage section includes a mesh tray disposed within the through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the ventilation guide column is connected to the bottom of the mesh tray, and the other end extends downward through the bottom of the through hole and connects to the air outlet.

[0011] Furthermore, a compression spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the discharge distribution pipe, and under the action of the compression spring, the bottom of the discharge distribution pipe is tightly fitted with the top of the hopper tray.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom end of the discharge distribution pipe has a trumpet-shaped structure, or the material of the discharge distribution pipe is plastic.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the continuous high-speed air blowing feeding device provided in this embodiment of the utility model has at least the following technical effects: The continuous high-speed air-blowing feeding device includes an indexing air disc, a hopper tray, multiple storage sections, multiple air guide columns, an air inlet distributor, an outlet distribution pipe, and a feeding pipe. The indexing air disc is rotatably mounted, and multiple air inlets are spaced apart on its outer circumference. The hopper tray is coaxially mounted with the indexing air disc and located above it, rotating synchronously with the disc. Multiple storage sections are recessed relative to the hopper tray for quantitative storage of nicotine powder. Multiple air guide columns... Each column is individually connected to multiple air inlets. One end of each air guide column is connected to the corresponding air inlet's air path, and the other end is connected to the corresponding storage section's air path. An air inlet distributor is located on the side of the indexing air distribution plate, and a discharge distribution pipe is positioned above the hopper tray. The discharge pipe is connected to the discharge distribution pipe. When the hopper tray rotates the storage section to below the discharge distribution pipe for air feeding, the air inlet distributor connects to the corresponding air inlet, air guide column, and storage section's air path. Compared to the multi-row feeding device of the traditional multi-row intermittent packaging process, the continuous high-speed air feeding device uses a single-path discharge distribution pipe and discharge pipe. Through the synchronous rotation of the hopper tray and the indexing air distribution plate, the single-path discharge distribution pipe and discharge pipe can sequentially connect to different storage sections, achieving multi-path production while reducing the number of pipes, thereby lowering the overall equipment cost. In addition, the continuous high-speed air blowing feeding device simplifies the pipeline system, reduces material blockage, makes maintenance easier, and improves production efficiency.

[0022] Most existing nicotine pouch sealing machines are based on food pouch or strip packaging equipment and are modified from traditional oral cigarette packaging processes. They typically employ a multi-row intermittent packaging process.

[0023] Specifically, multi-row intermittent packaging processes typically employ multi-row feeding devices. However, each feeding device requires an independent feeding pipeline, meaning the entire system needs multiple pipelines, thus increasing the overall equipment cost. Furthermore, due to the high moisture content of nicotine powder, material blockage is prone to occur, and the complex piping system further increases maintenance difficulty, thereby affecting production efficiency.

[0024] Therefore, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a continuous high-speed air blowing feeding device, including an indexing air venting plate 10, a hopper tray 20, multiple storage sections 30, multiple air venting guide columns 40, an air inlet distributor 50, a discharge distribution pipe 60, and a feeding pipe 70; wherein, the air inlet distributor 50 is used to supply compressed air.

[0025] The indexing vent plate 10 is rotatably configured, and multiple air inlets 11 are spaced apart on the outer circumference of the indexing vent plate 10; specifically, the indexing vent plate 10 can rotate 360°. By rotating the indexing vent plate 10, the multiple air inlets 11 can be sequentially connected to the air intake distributor 50 for air passage.

[0026] The hopper tray 20 is coaxially arranged with the indexing vent plate 10 and is located above the indexing vent plate 10, rotating synchronously with the indexing vent plate 10. Multiple storage sections 30 are recessed relative to the hopper tray 20 for quantitative storage of nicotine powder. Multiple ventilation guide columns 40 are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple air blowing ports 11. One end of each ventilation guide column 40 is connected to the air passage of the corresponding air blowing port 11, and the other end of each ventilation guide column 40 is connected to the air passage of the corresponding storage section 30. The air inlet distributor 50 is located on the side of the indexing vent plate 10, and the discharge distribution pipe 60 is covered above the hopper tray 20. The discharge pipe 70 is connected to the discharge distribution pipe 60. By rotating the hopper tray 20, the multiple storage sections 30 can be sequentially connected to the discharge distribution pipe 60 for air passage.

[0027] When the hopper pallet 20 rotates the storage section 30 to the position below the discharge distribution pipe 60 for air blowing and feeding, the air blowing port 11 corresponding to the storage section 30 also rotates to the position corresponding to the air inlet distributor 50 under the action of the indexing air venting plate 10, and is connected to the air inlet distributor 50 in an air path. In this way, the air inlet distributor 50, the corresponding air blowing port 11, the air guide column 40 and the storage section 30, and the discharge distribution pipe 60 and the feeding pipe 70 are connected in an air path.

[0028] In this embodiment, the continuous high-speed air-blowing feeding device includes an indexing air-venting disc 10, a hopper tray 20, multiple storage sections 30, multiple air-venting guide columns 40, an air inlet distributor 50, a discharge distribution pipe 60, and a feeding pipe 70. The indexing air-venting disc 10 is rotatably arranged, and multiple air-blowing ports 11 are spaced apart on the outer circumference of the indexing air-venting disc 10. The hopper tray 20 is coaxially arranged with the indexing air-venting disc 10 and is located above the indexing air-venting disc 10, rotating synchronously with the indexing air-venting disc 10. The multiple storage sections 30 are sunken relative to the hopper tray 20 for quantitative storage of nicotine powder. The multiple air-venting guide columns 40... Each column 40 is correspondingly connected to a plurality of air inlets 11. One end of each air guide column 40 is connected to the air passage of the corresponding air inlet 11, and the other end of each air guide column 40 is connected to the air passage of the corresponding storage section 30. An air inlet distributor 50 is located on the side of the indexing air vent plate 10, and a discharge distribution pipe 60 is placed above the hopper tray 20. The discharge pipe 70 is connected to the discharge distribution pipe 60. When the hopper tray 20 rotates the storage section 30 to a position below the discharge distribution pipe 60 for air blowing and discharging, the air inlet distributor 50 forms an air passage connection with the corresponding air inlet 11, air guide column 40, and storage section 30. The airflow from the air inlet distributor 50 passes sequentially through the air inlet 11 and the air guide column 40, blowing nicotine powder out of the storage section 30, passing through the discharge distribution pipe 60 into the discharge pipe 70, and finally being sent into the downstream nicotine bag, achieving high-speed filling and discharging. The hopper tray 20 and the indexing venting disc 10 rotate synchronously, allowing multiple air inlets 11 to be connected one by one to the air inlet distributor 50, and multiple storage sections 30 to be connected one by one to the discharge distribution pipe 60. This synchronous rotation, combined with the air intake operation of the air inlet distributor 50, enables the nicotine powder in the multiple storage sections 30 to be blown out sequentially, thereby achieving continuous high-speed air blowing and feeding.

[0029] Compared to the multi-row feeding devices in traditional multi-row intermittent packaging processes, the continuous high-speed air-blowing feeding device uses a single-path discharge distribution pipe 60 and a feeding pipe 70. Through the synchronous rotation of the hopper tray 20 and the indexing air venting plate 10, the single-path discharge distribution pipe 60 and feeding pipe 70 can sequentially connect to different storage sections 30 to form air paths. This achieves multi-path production while reducing the number of pipelines, thereby lowering the overall equipment cost. Furthermore, the continuous high-speed air-blowing feeding device simplifies the piping system, reduces material blockage, facilitates maintenance, and improves production efficiency.

[0030] In some optional embodiments, a fixing bracket 80 is provided on the side end of the indexing venting disc 10, and the air intake distributor 50 is installed on the side end of the indexing venting disc 10 through the fixing bracket 80.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, the hopper tray 20 has a through hole 21, and the storage part 30 is disposed in the through hole 21. During the rotation of the hopper tray 20, nicotine powder can fall into the storage part 30 by gravity.

[0032] In some optional embodiments, the storage section 30 includes a mesh tray disposed within the through-hole 21. The bottom of the mesh tray has a textured pattern, the size of which needs to be selected according to actual requirements to ensure that the nicotine powder is effectively held while allowing for smooth airflow.

[0033] In some alternative embodiments, one end of the ventilation guide post 40 is connected to the bottom of the mesh tray, and the other end extends downward through the bottom of the through hole 21 and connects to the air outlet 11.

[0034] In some optional embodiments, a compression spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the discharge distribution pipe 60, and under the action of the compression spring, the bottom of the discharge distribution pipe 60 can be tightly fitted with the top of the hopper tray 20.

[0035] In some alternative embodiments, the bottom end of the discharge distribution pipe 60 is flared, or the material of the discharge distribution pipe 60 is plastic, or the material of the discharge pipe 70 is plastic.

[0036] The working principle of the continuous high-speed air-blowing feeding device is as follows: Nicotine powder first accumulates on the hopper tray 20, and falls onto the mesh tray of the storage section 30 by gravity during the rotation of the hopper tray 20. When the hopper tray 20 drives the storage section 30 to rotate to below the discharge distribution pipe 60 and begins air-blowing feeding, the air-blowing port 11 corresponding to the storage section 30 also rotates to the position of docking with the air inlet distributor 50 under the drive of the indexing air plate 10, forming an air path connection. The solenoid valve opens, and the airflow sequentially blows the nicotine powder from the storage section 30 through the air-blowing port 11 and the air-guiding column 40, through the discharge distribution pipe 60 into the plastic feeding pipe 70, and finally into the downstream nicotine bag, realizing a high-speed filling and feeding process. The hopper tray 20 and the indexing air plate 10 are connected together by the air-guiding column 40. The two rotate synchronously and cooperate with the action of the solenoid valve to realize continuous high-speed air-blowing feeding.

[0037] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
