Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of empty tube smoke generators, specifically to a multi-specification feeding mechanism for an empty tube smoke generator. Background Technology

[0002] An empty cigarette burner is a research instrument primarily used for studying tobacco blending. When researching cigarette flavor, operations such as adding flavoring to tobacco are conducted in small batches. The evaluation of the flavored tobacco flavor needs to be carried out according to cigarette evaluation standards. Therefore, it is necessary to process the prepared tobacco into cigarettes for re-evaluation. If this process is carried out using cigarette rolling equipment, the cost and difficulty are both high. Thus, the empty cigarette burner was developed.

[0003] The main function of an empty cigarette dispenser is to feed the prepared tobacco into an empty cigarette tube (an empty tube structure with the tobacco removed, retaining only the filter and cigarette paper) to prepare a temporary cigarette product, and then evaluate the temporary cigarette product according to the cigarette evaluation standards.

[0004] As time goes by, cigarette specifications have become more diverse. Traditional empty cigarette dispensers can only handle the feeding needs of a single specification. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the feeding mechanism of the empty cigarette dispenser so that it can meet the needs of feeding multiple specifications.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technological solution. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a multi-specification feeding mechanism for an empty cylinder smoke generator that can meet the needs of multi-specification feeding.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a multi-specification feeding mechanism for an empty cylinder smoke generator, including a smoke chamber, an empty cylinder top plate, a limiting groove, a switching roller, and an empty smoke cylinder push rod; The bottom of the smoke chamber is a slope, and a guide surface is provided on the smoke outlet side of the smoke chamber. A groove is opened between the lowest end of the slope and the guide surface. The empty cylinder top plate is raised and lowered along the guide surface and is set in the groove to lift the empty smoke cylinder at the lowest point in the smoke chamber. The top of the empty cylinder top plate is a sloping top that slopes downward toward the guide surface, and the top of the guide surface is provided with a guide slope that slopes downward toward the smoke outlet side. The sloping top and the guide slope are used to guide the empty smoke cylinder out. The switching roller is rotatably disposed on the smoke outlet side of the smoke chamber. The roller surface of the switching roller is adjacent to the guide inclined surface and forms the limiting groove. Several axially penetrating storage grooves are arrayed along the circumferential direction on the roller surface of the switching roller. Each storage groove has a different specification and is used to connect with the limiting groove by rotation and transfer the empty smoke tube. The empty chimney push rod is used to push the empty chimneys out horizontally from the storage slot.

[0008] This utility model is based on the feeding requirements of empty chimneys of different specifications. It uses storage slots of different specifications on the switching roller to meet the storage requirements of different specifications. The feeding mechanism is designed to cooperate with the feeding form of the switching roller, thereby achieving the purpose of adapting to empty chimneys of different specifications.

[0009] Based on the above, each of the storage slots is an arc-shaped slot, and the inner diameter of each storage slot is different.

[0010] This is designed to fit different sizes of empty chimneys; for specific specifications, please refer to industry standards.

[0011] As described above, the bottom of each storage tank is equidistant from the axis of the switching roller. This ensures that the bottom positions of the tanks are approximately equal after rotational switching, thus facilitating compatibility with the feeding mechanism.

[0012] Based on the above, the smoke chamber includes two side plates and a bottom plate, with the bottom plate installed at an angle between the two side plates. The angled bottom plate facilitates the natural forward sliding of materials.

[0013] Based on the above, a multi-functional plate is provided between the smoke chamber and the switching roller. The side of the multi-functional plate near the smoke chamber forms the guide surface, and the side of the multi-functional plate near the switching roller is an arc surface adapted to the roller surface of the switching roller. The top of the multi-functional plate forms the guide slope. The multi-functional plate can cooperate with different mechanisms to complete different actions, playing a central coordinating role.

[0014] Based on the above, a first empty chimney detection sensor is installed at the lowest point of the chimney chamber to detect whether an empty chimney exists.

[0015] Based on the above, a second empty chimney detection sensor is installed at both ends of the limiting groove to detect whether an empty chimney has been picked up.

[0016] Based on the above, the empty chimney pusher includes a linear motion mechanism and a cantilever pusher, the distal end of which forms a pushing portion extending into the storage slot. This is used to push the empty chimney out.

[0017] Based on the above, it also includes a finished smoke trough, which is located on the side of the switching roller away from the smoke chamber, and is used to receive the filled finished smoke that rotates and rolls down along the switching roller.

[0018] Based on the above, the switching roller is driven to rotate by a servo motor, and the empty cylinder top plate is driven to rise and fall by a linear motor.

[0019] This utility model has substantial features and progress compared to the prior art. Specifically, this utility model designs a new feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism takes out the material from the smoke chamber one by one by rising and transferring it. Then, it is equipped with a switching roller containing storage slots of different specifications to adapt to the output of empty smoke tubes of different specifications, thereby meeting the current feeding needs of empty smoke tube generators for different specifications of empty smoke tubes.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a multi-specification feeding mechanism for an empty cylinder smoke generator includes a smoke chamber 1, an empty cylinder top plate 2, a limiting groove 3, a switching roller 4, and an empty smoke cylinder push rod 5.

[0026] In this embodiment, the smoke chamber 1 includes two side plates 11 and a bottom plate 12. The bottom plate 12 is installed obliquely between the two side plates 11, so that the bottom of the smoke chamber 1 is an inclined surface. A guide surface 61 is provided on the smoke outlet side of the smoke chamber 1. A groove is opened between the lowest end of the inclined surface and the guide surface 61. The empty top plate 2 is raised and lowered along the guide surface 61 in the groove, which is used to lift the empty smoke at the lowest point in the smoke chamber 1. In this embodiment, the guide surface 61 is a vertical surface. In other embodiments, it can also be an inclined surface that slopes upward toward the smoke outlet side.

[0027] The empty cylinder top plate 2 is driven to lift by a linear motor. The top of the empty cylinder top plate 2 is an inclined top 21 that slopes downward toward the guide surface. The top of the guide surface 61 is provided with a guide slope 62 that slopes downward toward the smoke outlet side. The inclined top 21 and the guide slope 62 are used to guide the empty smoke cylinder out.

[0028] The switching roller 4 is rotatably disposed on the smoke outlet side of the smoke chamber 1. The switching roller 4 is driven to rotate by a servo motor. The roller surface of the switching roller 4 is adjacent to the guide inclined surface 62 and forms the limiting groove 3. Several axially penetrating storage grooves 41 are arrayed along the circumferential direction on the roller surface of the switching roller 4. Each storage groove 41 has a different specification and is used to connect with the limiting groove 3 by rotation and transfer empty smoke tubes.

[0029] In this embodiment, each of the storage slots 41 is an arc-shaped slot, the inner diameter of each storage slot 41 is different, and the distance from the bottom of each storage slot 41 to the axis of the switching roller 4 is equal, so that the height is the same when docking with subsequent equipment.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, in terms of structural design, a multi-functional plate 6 is provided between the smoke chamber 1 and the switching roller 4. The side of the multi-functional plate 6 near the smoke chamber forms the guide surface 61, the side of the multi-functional plate near the switching roller is an arc surface 63 adapted to the roller surface of the switching roller, and the top of the multi-functional plate forms the guide slope 62.

[0031] The empty chimney push rod 5 is used to push the empty chimney in the storage slot 41 horizontally. In this embodiment, the empty chimney push rod 5 includes a linear motion mechanism and a cantilever push rod. The distal end of the rod of the cantilever push rod forms a pushing part 51 that extends into the storage slot. The linear motion mechanism can be a linear motor or a lead screw motion mechanism.

[0032] To avoid failure to retrieve material, a first empty chimney detection sensor 8 is installed at the lowest point of the chimney 1, and a second empty chimney detection sensor 9 is installed at both ends of the limiting groove 3. By detecting whether there is an empty chimney, the next execution action is determined. Specifically, in this embodiment, a through-beam infrared sensor is used.

[0033] In other embodiments, a finished smoke trough 10 is also included, which is disposed on the side of the switching roller 4 away from the smoke chamber 1, and is used to receive the filled finished smoke that rotates and rolls down along the switching roller 4.

[0034] Working principle explanation: Based on the experimental requirements, determine the specifications of the required empty chimney, and then determine the specifications of the storage tank 41 to be used.

[0035] Place the prepared empty chimneys side by side at the bottom of the smoke chamber 1, in a single row to avoid stacking, so that they can reach the lowest point of the smoke chamber 1 one by one.

[0036] When the machine starts working, the first empty chimney detection sensor 8 first detects whether there is an empty chimney reaching the lowest point of the chimney chamber 1. If there is, the empty chimney top plate 2 is activated to lift the empty chimney at the lowest point. The sloping width of the empty chimney top plate 2 is only adapted to the width of a single empty chimney.

[0037] After being lifted to the highest point, the inclined jack gives the empty chimney potential energy, driving it to roll toward the guide inclined surface and enter the limiting groove 3. At the same time, the second empty chimney sensor 9 detects whether an empty chimney is in place, thus triggering the next action.

[0038] At this time, the storage slot 41 of the appropriate specification is located in the preset position, usually near the smoke chamber 1, so that it has at least two working positions: The first working position is to move to the position where it connects with the limiting groove 3, and to retrieve the empty chimney from the limiting groove 3. At this working position, the bottom height of the storage groove 41 is lower than the bottom height of the limiting groove 3, so that the empty chimney can roll smoothly into the storage groove 41.

[0039] The second working position is to move the storage slot 41 to the position of the empty tobacco push rod 5, so as to cooperate with the empty tobacco push rod 5 to push the empty tobacco in the storage slot 41 horizontally, and adapt to the tobacco filling mechanism to complete the filling of tobacco.

[0040] In some embodiments, the filled finished cigarettes are returned to the storage tank 41 and then rotated further to drop the finished cigarettes into the finished cigarette tank 10.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
