[0034] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0035] This utility model proposes an embodiment of a device for reducing the amount of tobacco residue at the end of cigarettes, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0036] Cigarette conveyor belt 1;

[0037] The filter end fixing device 2 is fixed on the first side of the cigarette conveyor belt 1;

[0038] The cigarette end striking device 3 is fixed on the first side of the cigarette conveyor belt 1;

[0039] A controller electrically connected to the cigarette conveyor belt 1, the filter end fixing device 2, and the cigarette end snapping device 3;

[0040] When the cigarette is conveyed to the position of the filter end fixing device 2 by the cigarette conveyor belt 1, the filter end fixing device 2 fixes the filter end of the cigarette, and the cigarette end striking device 3 strikes the tobacco leaf end of the cigarette.

[0041] In this embodiment, the device for reducing the amount of cigarette residue at the cigarette end mainly includes a cigarette conveyor belt 1, a filter end fixing device 2, and a cigarette end snapping device 3. The filter end fixing device 2 and the cigarette end snapping device 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the cigarette conveyor belt 1, and the filter end fixing device 2 and the cigarette end snapping device 3 are positioned opposite each other. The cigarette conveyor belt 1, the filter end fixing device 2, and the cigarette end snapping device 3 are all electrically connected to a controller, which is a PLC (not shown in the figure).

[0042] The width of the cigarette conveyor belt 1 is the same as the length of the cigarette. The upper surface of the cigarette conveyor belt 1 has a wavy structure. The cigarettes are placed at each concave position of the conveyor belt to fix them in place during the conveying process. The distance between adjacent concave positions of the conveyor belt is set according to the striking time of the cigarette end striking device 3.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the filter tip fixing device 2 includes: a mounting base 21; a mounting plate 22 fixedly connected to the mounting base 21, with the base 21 and the mounting plate 22 arranged perpendicularly; a filter tip adsorption device 23 fixed on the first side of the mounting plate 22; and a negative pressure suction port 24 fixed on the second side of the mounting plate 22.

[0044] The negative pressure suction port 24 connects to a hose on the production equipment, and the other end of the hose connects to an air pump. The filter-end adsorption device 23 and the negative pressure suction port 24 have a hollow structure between them, and a soft rubber O-ring is installed inside the port of the filter-end adsorption device 23. Before the cigarette is conveyed to the filter-end fixing device 2, the air pump is activated, reducing the air pressure inside the filter-end fixing device 2 and automatically drawing the cigarette filter into the negative pressure suction port 24, creating a negative pressure structure inside to keep the cigarette firmly adsorbed. After the tobacco is tapped, the air pump switches from negative pressure to positive pressure, pushing the cigarette onto the cigarette conveyor belt 1.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cigarette end striking device 3 includes: a fixed base 31; a fixed frame 32 fixedly connected to the fixed base 31, the fixed base 31 and the fixed frame 32 being arranged perpendicularly; a motor 33 fixed on the fixed base 31, the motor 33 having a first roller 34; a second roller 35 fixed on the fixed frame 32, the first roller 34 and the second roller 35 being connected by a belt 36; a lifting rod 37 rotatably connected to the fixed frame 32, the end of the lifting rod 37 having a striking head 38 fixedly connected; a ring handle 39 fixedly connected to the second roller 35, the second roller 35 driving the ring handle 39 to rotate; a latch 310 provided near the end of the lifting rod 37 close to the second roller 35, the ring handle 39 rotating and contacting the latch 310.

[0046] After the cigarette is fixed by the filter end fixing device 2, the tobacco end of the cigarette is below the striking head 38. The motor 33 is started, driving the first roller 34 to rotate. The first roller 34 drives the belt 36, which in turn drives the second roller 35 to rotate. The second roller 35 then drives the internal ring handle 39 to rotate. When the ring handle 39 strikes the latch 310 on the lifting rod 37, the lifting rod 37 is raised. After the ring handle 39 rotates past the corresponding position of the latch 310, the lifting rod 37 descends, thereby causing the striking head 38 to rise and fall, striking the end of the cigarette. This knocks off any excessively long tobacco strands or mixed tobacco dust from the cigarette end, leaving them on the production line, reducing production costs, and minimizing the unpleasant smoking experience for consumers caused by tobacco dust at the cigarette end. Here, the diameter of the first roller 34 is smaller than the diameter of the second roller 35, achieving labor saving and torque amplification, smooth transmission, and reduced energy loss.

[0047] In this embodiment, the controller controls the working status of the cigarette conveyor belt 1, the filter end fixing device 2, and the cigarette end striking device 3. During operation, the filter end fixing device 2 is under negative pressure. When the cigarette conveyor belt 1 transports a cigarette to the filter end fixing device 2, the filter end fixing device 2 absorbs the cigarette. At this time, the controller detects that a cigarette has been absorbed and controls the motor 33 of the cigarette end striking device 3 to start, thereby controlling the cigarette end striking device 3 to strike for a preset time (2 to 3 strikes). After the striking ends, the controller controls the cigarette end striking device 3 to stop working, controls the filter end fixing device 2 to switch to a positive pressure state, pushes the cigarette onto the cigarette conveyor belt 1, and then controls the filter end fixing device 2 to switch to a negative pressure state to absorb the next cigarette to be struck, and so on in a cycle. The conveying speed of the cigarette conveyor belt 1 and the placement position of adjacent cigarettes need to be adjusted according to the preset striking time of the cigarette end striking device 3.

[0048] In summary, the device for reducing the amount of tobacco residue at the end of cigarettes can knock off excessively long tobacco strands or mixed tobacco dust from the end of the cigarette and leave them on the production line, thereby reducing production costs and improving the smoking experience for consumers.
