Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of batching equipment, and specifically relates to a batching device. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco production process, tobacco flavorings can eliminate the differences between different grades of tobacco leaves, purposefully increase and enhance aroma, make the tobacco flavor fuller, reduce dryness, eliminate roughness, improve the smoking experience, give cigarettes characteristic aromas, and increase their appeal to consumers. There are many types of tobacco flavorings. Through research on the aroma characteristics and components of tobacco leaves and tobacco smoke, compounds are analyzed from the smoke, and key components affecting aroma are identified to form the formulation of tobacco flavorings.

[0003] The formulation of tobacco flavorings requires precise control of the proportions of various raw materials. The existing flavoring process generally relies on manual preparation, with staff guiding the materials on a weighing platform. However, when there are too many types of raw materials, it is necessary to manually take different raw materials for preparation. After adding one type of raw material, the raw material is placed in its original position before taking the raw material container for the next type of raw material. This results in a large workload and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problem of high workload and low efficiency in the existing process of preparing tobacco flavorings due to the large amount of raw materials and the manual preparation method. It provides a preparation device that uses a horizontal and vertical moving mechanism to drive a clamping mechanism to clamp different raw material containers. The clamping mechanism then moves the raw material container above the preparation tank for addition, effectively reducing the workload and improving efficiency in the flavoring preparation process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0027] like Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides a batching device, including a first frame 1 and a second frame 2 arranged opposite to each other. Multiple raw material tanks 3 are placed on the second frame 2. Each raw material tank 3 is equipped with a feeding device, which includes a feeding cylinder mounted on the raw material tank 3 and a proportional valve mounted at the outlet of the raw material tank 3. The feeding cylinder is a PCA / 702 model. Specifically, the feeding cylinder drives the material in the raw material tank 3 to be discharged from the outlet of the raw material tank 3. The proportional valve adjusts the outlet size and ensures accurate feeding quantity, thus ensuring accurate batching ratio. The proportional valve is a high-frequency pneumatic proportional fine-tuning valve of model R202A540L0V00F1. Through the cooperation of the proportional valve and the feeding cylinder, the feeding accuracy of the raw material tank 3 is ensured to reach 0.1 μl.

[0028] The first frame 1 has a horizontal moving mechanism, a vertical moving mechanism, a telescopic mechanism 4, and a clamping mechanism 5. The horizontal moving mechanism and the vertical moving mechanism are used to drive the telescopic mechanism 4 to move horizontally and vertically, respectively.

[0029] The lateral movement mechanism includes a first track 8 arranged laterally, a first slider 9 slidably disposed within the first track 8, and a first drive mechanism for driving the first slider 9 to slide along the first track 8. The first track 8 is fixedly disposed on the first frame 1. The first drive mechanism includes a first motor 10 and a first screw 11. The first motor 10 is fixedly disposed at one end of the first track 8. The output end of the first motor 10 is fixedly connected to the first screw 11. The first screw 11 is threaded through the first slider 9. The first motor 10 drives the first screw 11 to rotate, thereby causing the first slider 9 to move laterally within the first track 8.

[0030] The vertical moving mechanism includes a vertically arranged second track 12, a second slider 13 slidably disposed within the second track 12, and a second driving mechanism for driving the second slider 13 to slide along the second track 12. The second track 12 is slidably disposed on the horizontal moving mechanism. The second slider 13 is fixedly connected to the telescopic mechanism 4. The second driving mechanism includes a second motor 14 and a second screw 15. The second motor 14 is fixedly disposed at one end of the second track 12, and the output end of the second motor 14 is fixedly connected to the second screw 15. The second screw 15 is threaded through the second slider 13. The second track 12 is fixedly connected to a first slider 9. The first track 8 can be configured as multiple tracks. The first slider 9 in each first track 8 is fixedly connected to the second track 12. The first slider 9 drives the second track 12 to move horizontally. The second motor 14 drives the second screw 15 to rotate, causing the second slider 13 to move up and down along the second track 12.

[0031] As one possible implementation, the lateral movement mechanism and the vertical movement mechanism can also adopt other existing technologies such as rodless cylinders that meet the requirements of lateral and vertical movement.

[0032] The second slider 13 is fixedly connected to the telescopic mechanism 4, which is a cylinder. The output end of the telescopic mechanism 4 is connected to the clamping mechanism 5. The telescopic mechanism 4 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 5 to move closer to or away from the second frame 2. Specifically, the clamping mechanism is driven to correspond to the required raw material tank 3 through the horizontal movement mechanism and the vertical movement mechanism, and then the clamping mechanism 5 is driven to move closer to the raw material tank 3 through the telescopic mechanism 4.

[0033] The clamping mechanism 5 is used to clamp and fix the corresponding raw material tank 3. The clamping mechanism 5 includes a mounting block 16, a third drive mechanism, and two opposing clamping rods 17. The output end of the telescopic mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 16. A groove 18 is opened at the end of the mounting block 16 away from the telescopic mechanism 4. Two clamping rods 17 are slidably arranged in the groove 18, and both clamping rods 17 extend out of the groove 18. The third drive mechanism is used to drive the two clamping rods 17 to move closer or further apart. The third drive mechanism includes a third motor 2. The third screw 21 and the third motor 20 are fixedly installed on one side of the mounting block 16. The output end of the third motor 20 extends into the slide groove 18 and is fixedly connected to the third screw 21. The threads at both ends of the third screw 21 are opposite in direction and respectively thread through the two clamping rods 17. The telescopic mechanism 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to move towards the raw material tank 3. When the raw material tank 3 is located between the two clamping rods 17, the third motor 20 drives the two clamping rods 17 to move closer to each other to complete the clamping and fixing of the raw material tank 3. Then the telescopic mechanism 4 is reset.

[0034] A weighing device 6 is provided at the lower end of the first frame 1. Specifically, a support plate 19 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the first frame 1, and a weighing device 6 is provided on the support plate 19. The weighing device 6 adopts a LA204E / A electronic analytical balance with a strength of 0.0001. A mixing tank 7 is provided on the weighing device 6. The weighing device 6 is used to weigh the mixing tank 7. The raw material tank 3 is driven to move above the mixing tank 7 by a horizontal moving mechanism and a vertical moving mechanism. The raw material in the raw material tank 3 is accurately added to the mixing tank 7 by a feeding cylinder and a proportional valve. Then, other raw materials are added to complete the mixing. The weighing device 6 further ensures the single addition amount of raw materials and the quality of the prepared fragrance.

[0035] In use, the first motor 10 drives the second track 12 to move laterally to align with the corresponding raw material tank 3. Then, the second motor 14 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to move to align with the corresponding raw material tank 3. Subsequently, the telescopic mechanism 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to move closer to the raw material tank 3. When the raw material tank 3 is positioned between the two clamping rods 17, the third motor 20 drives the two clamping rods 17 to move closer to each other to clamp and fix the raw material tank 3. Then, the telescopic mechanism 4 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to reset, and the raw material tank 3 detaches from the second frame 2. The lateral and vertical movement mechanisms drive the raw material tank 3 to move above the mixing tank 7. The feeding cylinder and proportional valve ensure the precise addition of the raw material in the raw material tank 3 to the mixing tank 7. Then, the raw material tank 3 is reset and placed on the second frame 2 to complete the mixing of this type of raw material. The above process is repeated to complete the addition of different raw materials for flavoring.

[0036] During the ingredient mixing process, the weight change of the ingredient container 7 is monitored at all times by the weighing device 6 to further ensure the accuracy of the ingredient ratio.
