Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette production and processing technology, and in particular to a feeding device and a cutting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] To control product quality, cigarette manufacturers need to conduct quality inspections on indicators such as the dust content, moisture content, and composition of the tobacco shreds before the cigarette leaves the factory. Currently, most laboratory testing uses manual separation of cigarette shreds, which is inefficient and may contain inseparable paper scraps, filter fibers, etc. Furthermore, manual separation introduces human error into the tobacco shred testing process, damaging the original properties of the tobacco and lowering the quality grade of the tested cigarette shreds.
[0003] CN101766330A discloses a longitudinal cutting device for cigarettes, including a roller, a motor, a slide rail, and a cutting machine body. In use, cigarettes are placed on the roller, and the motor drives the roller to rotate, so that the cigarettes at the bottom of the roller fall into the slide rail. The slide rail slides to the corresponding position, and the cutting machine body cuts the surface of the cigarettes.
[0004] The main method of placing cigarettes on rollers is to create grooves on the outer surface of the rollers, and then place the cigarettes in the grooves. However, in actual production, the diameter of the cigarettes varies, and it is impossible to guarantee that the cigarettes will fit perfectly in the grooves. As the rollers rotate, they will shift.
[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: to solve the problem of the inability to accurately and stably install the roller body that accommodates cigarettes of different sizes.
[0007] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:
[0008] This utility model claims protection for a feeding device, including a box, a support base mechanism and a drive mechanism. The box is provided with an installation channel, the support base mechanism is installed in the installation channel, and the drive mechanism is configured to drive the support base mechanism to generate a rotational motion.
[0009] It also includes a drum body, which passes through the installation channel and is fitted onto a support base mechanism. The support base mechanism has protruding protrusions and / or recessed grooves, which form an insertion fit with another recessed groove and / or another protrusion on the drum body. The insertion direction is opposite to the rotation direction. A slot is provided on the outer wall of the drum body. The slot and the inner wall of the installation channel enclose a space for accommodating the material to be placed.
[0010] Preferably, the support base mechanism includes a mounting rod, which is installed in the installation channel. The mounting rod is stepped shaft-shaped, with the diameter of the middle section being larger than the diameter of both ends. One end of the mounting rod passes through the housing to the shoulder and abuts against the housing. The mounting rod is flexibly connected to the housing. The extended end of the mounting rod is connected to the output end of the drive mechanism. The mounting rod located in the installation channel is fitted with the drum body.
[0011] Preferably, the drum body is cylindrical, and the drum body is inserted through the installation channel to the middle section of the drum body opening. The drum body opening has a groove recessed along the axial direction, which forms an insertion fit with the protrusion of the middle section along the radial direction. The groove is a spiral groove, and the spiral direction is consistent with the rotation direction.
[0012] Preferably, the distance from the protrusion to the bottom of the mounting channel is the same as the depth of the groove.
[0013] Preferably, the drum body includes a sleeve and an end cap. The sleeve is fitted over the mounting rod. One end of the sleeve fits against the inner wall of the box to form the opening of the drum body, and the other end of the sleeve is sealed by the end cap. The outer wall of the sleeve passes through a slot along the axial direction. The slot and the inner wall of the installation channel enclose a space.
[0014] Preferably, the depth of the installation channel is the same as the length of the sleeve.
[0015] Preferably, the outer wall of the middle section is milled into a plane, and a threaded hole is opened on the plane, which engages with the external thread on the surface of the protrusion.
[0016] Preferably, the support mechanism further includes a mounting base, which is installed outside the housing. The mounting rod is connected to the housing via the mounting base, and a bearing is provided between the mounting base and the mounting rod.
[0017] Preferably, the mounting rod is equipped with a baffle, which is located between the drive mechanism and the mounting base.
[0018] This utility model also claims protection for a cutting device that uses a feeding device, including a slide and a cutting device, with one end of the slide provided at the bottom of the mounting channel and the other end of the slide facing the cutter of the cutting device.
[0019] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0020] I. This utility model claims protection for a feeding device. In actual use, based on the different sizes of the parts to be fed, the sizes of the slots on the drum body are different. Therefore, there are multiple drum bodies. The drum body is quickly installed by passing through the installation channel and fitting onto the support base mechanism. During insertion, the protrusion and the groove first insert into each other, and the insertion direction is opposite to the rotation direction. Therefore, as the drum body rotates to feed the material, it is always in a locked state, which not only ensures the coaxiality of the drum body and the support base mechanism during installation, but also avoids the axial movement of the drum body causing the drum body to loosen.
[0021] Second, the mounting rod is designed as a stepped shaft, which not only allows the mounting rod to be positioned by engaging with the housing through the shaft shoulder during installation, but also makes the end of the mounting rod away from the housing thinner, which facilitates the insertion of the drum body.
[0022] Third, by limiting the distance between the protrusion and the bottom of the installation channel, it is ensured that when the drum body is inserted, when the protrusion slides to the bottom of the groove, the end of the drum body just touches the inner surface of the box. This ensures the compactness of the structure, while the box also provides a limiting effect on one end of the drum body, achieving two goals at once.
[0023] IV. The end cap has the following two advantages: First, it ensures that no interference will be caught when the mounting rod rotates; second, it provides support for the drum body itself and prevents deformation of the drum body. In actual production, the drum body is equipped with a slot on its outer wall. The slot and the inner wall of the installation channel form a space to accommodate the material to be placed. If deformation occurs, it may not only cause the drum body to be unable to fit with the mounting rod, but also cause the material to be placed in the slot to be inaccurately positioned.
[0024] Fifth, by limiting the depth of the installation channel, the drum body is prevented from extending out of the housing, which not only reduces the possibility of accidental contact, but also provides a certain degree of support and restraint for the drum body. If it extends out and is too long, it will cause the drum body to become eccentric during rotation.
[0025] VI. The protrusions are designed for detachable bolt mounting. By milling a flat surface on the outer wall of the middle section, it not only makes it easier to open threaded holes, but also facilitates the connection of the protrusions.
[0026] 7. The mounting base is located outside the housing, ensuring that the drum body can be inserted into and contact the housing. The mounting base is equipped with bearings, which ensures that the mounting rod does not deviate during rotation and also ensures smooth rotation.
[0027] 8. By setting baffles to separate the drive mechanism from the mounting base, the baffles also further prevent foreign objects from entering the housing. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] See Figures 1 to 2 This embodiment claims protection for a cutting device, including a feeding device, a slide 1, and a cutting device 2.
[0039] The feeding device includes a housing 30, a support base mechanism 31, a drive mechanism 32, and a drum body 33. The housing 30 is provided with an installation channel, and a support base mechanism 31 is installed in the installation channel. The support base mechanism 31 includes an installation rod 310 and an installation base 311. The installation rod 310 is set in the installation channel. The installation rod 310 is stepped shaft-shaped, and the diameter of the middle section 310a is larger than the diameter of the two ends. One end of the installation rod 310 passes through the housing 30 to the shoulder and abuts against the housing 30. The installation rod 310 and the housing 30 are interchangeably fitted. The installation base 311 is installed outside the housing 30. The installation rod 310 and the housing 30 are interchangeably fitted through the installation base 311. A bearing is set between the installation base 311 and the installation rod 310. The extended end of the installation rod 310 is connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 32. The installation rod 310 located in the installation channel is fitted with a drum body 33. The drive mechanism 32 is configured to drive the support base mechanism 31 to generate a rotational action. The installation rod 310 is provided with a baffle 3111, which is located between the drive mechanism 32 and the installation base 311.
[0040] It is worth noting that the mounting rod 310 is designed as a stepped shaft, which not only allows the mounting rod 310 to engage with the housing 30 through the shaft shoulder for positioning when it is installed with the housing 30, but also makes the end of the mounting rod 310 away from the housing 30 thinner, which facilitates the insertion of the drum body 33.
[0041] The drum body 33, which passes through the installation channel, is fitted onto the support base mechanism 31. The support base mechanism 31 has protruding protrusions and / or recessed grooves, which form an insertion fit with another recessed groove and / or another protrusion of the drum body 33. The insertion direction is opposite to the rotation direction. The outer wall of the drum body 33 is provided with a slot, which, together with the inner wall of the installation channel, forms a space to accommodate the material to be placed.
[0042] This embodiment claims protection for a feeding device. In actual use, the size of the slot of the drum body 33 is different based on the different sizes of the parts to be fed. Therefore, there are multiple drum bodies 33. The drum body 33 is quickly installed by passing through the installation channel and being sleeved on the support base mechanism 31. During insertion, the protrusion and the groove first insert into each other, and the insertion direction is opposite to the rotation direction. Therefore, as the drum body 33 rotates to feed the material, it is always in a locked state, which not only ensures the coaxiality of the drum body 33 and the support base mechanism 31 during installation, but also avoids the axial movement of the drum body 33 causing the drum body 33 to loosen.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] See Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment is a specific implementation of the protrusion and groove insertion and cooperation in Embodiment 1. The drum body 33 is cylindrical and includes a sleeve 330 and an end cap 331. The sleeve 330 is sleeved over the mounting rod 310. One end of the sleeve 330 fits against the inner wall of the housing 30 to form the opening of the drum body 33, and the other end of the sleeve 330 is sealed by the end cap 331. The end cap 331 has the following two advantages: first, it can ensure that no interference will be drawn in when the mounting rod 310 rotates; second, it can provide support for the drum body 33 itself and prevent the drum body 33 from deforming. In actual production, the drum body 33 is provided with a slot on the outer wall. The slot and the inner wall of the installation channel form a space to accommodate the material to be placed. If deformation occurs, it may not only cause the drum body 33 to be unable to fit with the mounting rod 310, but also cause the material to be placed in the slot to be inaccurately positioned. The outer wall of sleeve 330 has a slot that runs through it axially, and the slot and the inner wall of the installation channel enclose a space.
[0045] The drum body 33 is inserted through the installation channel. The depth of the installation channel is the same as the length of the sleeve 330. By limiting the depth of the installation channel, the drum body 33 is prevented from extending out of the housing 30, which not only reduces the possibility of accidental contact, but also provides a certain support and limit for the drum body 33. If it extends out and is too long, it will cause the drum body 33 to become eccentric during rotation.
[0046] The drum body 33 is inserted into the drum opening of the drum body 33, and a middle section 310a is fitted therein. A first groove 330a is recessed axially at the drum opening of the drum body 33, which engages with a first protrusion 3101a radially protruding from the middle section 310a. The outer wall of the middle section 310a is milled flat, and a threaded hole is formed on the flat surface. The threaded hole engages with the external thread on the surface of the protrusion. The first protrusion 3101a is designed for detachable bolt mounting. Milling a flat surface on the outer wall of the middle section 310a not only facilitates the creation of the threaded hole but also makes the connection of the first protrusion 3101a easier. The groove 330a is a spiral groove, and the spiral direction is consistent with the rotation direction. The distance from the first protrusion 3101a to the bottom of the installation channel is the same as the groove depth of the first groove 330a. In fact, by limiting the distance between the first protrusion 3101a and the bottom of the installation channel, it is ensured that when the first protrusion 3101a slides to the bottom of the first groove 330a during insertion, the end of the drum body 33 just touches the inner surface of the housing 30. This ensures the compactness of the structure, while the housing 30 also forms a limiting effect on one end of the drum body 33, achieving two goals at once.
[0047] Based on Embodiment 2, a specific application scenario is provided, specifically for feeding and cutting cigarettes of different sizes. The driving mechanism 32 preferably includes a motor, a reducer, and a transmission pulley. In actual operation, the specific steps include:
[0048] Step 1: Select a suitable cigarette body 33 based on the cigarette size. Select the appropriate cigarette body 33 by matching the slot with the cigarette.
[0049] Install the drum body 33, hold the end cap 331, and insert the drum body 33 into the installation channel. At this time, pay attention to the position of the protrusion. In actual applications, the first protrusion 3101a is generally located directly above the middle section 310a. This is to make it easier for the operator to remember and to avoid blind spots, thus facilitating operation. Align the first groove 330a with the first protrusion 3101a and insert the drum body 33 into the first protrusion 3101a and the first groove 330a, so that the drum body 33 is exactly against the inner wall of the housing 30.
[0050] The feeding device feeds the material and starts the motor. The motor is slowed down by the reducer and then drives the mounting rod 310 to rotate through the transmission pulley. Since the insertion direction is opposite to the rotation direction, the first protrusion 3101a and the first groove 330a are always locked during the rotation process, which avoids the axial movement of the roll body 33. The cigarette that has rotated to the bottom reaches the cutting device 2 through the slide 1 for cutting.
[0051] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
