Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette empty head technology, specifically a cigarette empty head detection device. Background Technology

[0002] A hollow end defect in cigarettes refers to a void of a certain area and depth formed at the end of the cigarette due to insufficient tobacco filling. National standards stipulate that the criteria for determining a hollow end are: a hollow cross-sectional area ratio (the ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the hollow portion to the cross-sectional area of ​​the cigarette) greater than two-thirds, and a hollow depth greater than 1 mm. Cigarettes with hollow ends need to be screened and rejected.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219245329U, a cigarette hollow-end detection tool is disclosed. This device detects cigarette hollow-end defects by having the operator move a measuring block, aligning the outer end of a measuring ruler with the hollow in the cigarette, comparing the cross-section of the measuring ruler with the cross-section of the hollow portion, and determining if the cross-sectional area of ​​the measuring ruler is smaller than that of the hollow portion. If it is smaller, the cigarette stand is moved along a first direction, inserting the measuring ruler into the hollow until the outer end of the measuring ruler abuts against the deepest end of the hollow. The scale corresponding to the cigarette end is then read, which represents the depth of the hollow. It is then determined whether the hollow depth is greater than 1 mm; if it is, a hollow is determined to exist in the cigarette. However, this detection method requires the operator to move the measuring block, involves multiple steps, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the operator's workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette empty head detection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cigarette empty head detection device, comprising a first storage box, a first fixing plate and a groove, wherein the first fixing plate is installed on the left side above the first storage box, and a groove is provided in the middle position above the first storage box, wherein a detection structure is installed on the inner side of the groove, and the lower part of the detection structure is located on the inner side of the first storage box. The detection structure includes a conveyor belt, storage tanks, and fixed columns. The conveyor belt is located inside the groove, and multiple storage tanks are located outside the conveyor belt. Multiple fixed columns are located inside the conveyor belt. The two lower fixed columns are connected to the inner wall of the first storage box via a first bearing. One side of the upper fixed column is connected to a second fixed plate at one end via a second bearing, and the other side of the upper fixed column passes through the fixed groove and is connected to a first motor. The fixed groove is located inside the second fixed plate at the other end. The second fixed plates at both ends are installed on both sides above the first storage box. A second storage box is installed on the right side above the first storage box. An electronic scale is installed inside the second storage box. Third fixed plates are installed on both sides above the second storage box. A push plate is located between the third fixed plates. A connecting column is installed on the outer side of the push plate. The connecting column passes through the right third fixed plate and connects to a sliding groove. A cylinder for pulling the push plate to move on the electronic scale is installed in the sliding groove. The output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting column. A drive structure for pushing the electronic scale out of the second storage box is installed inside the second storage box.

[0006] The third fixed plate on the right side has a groove that communicates with the slide rail, and the groove extends along the extension direction of the slide rail; the connecting column passes through the groove and connects to the push plate and the output end of the cylinder, and the connecting column can slide in the groove.

[0007] An opening is provided on the top right side of the second storage box for the electronic scale to slide out.

[0008] The drive structure includes a second motor, support rods, slide bars, connecting blocks, screws, and sliders. The second motor is fixedly connected inside the second storage box.

[0019] Preferably, the cylinder and the third fixing plate on the right side are integrated, and the outer wall of the slide groove is fixedly connected to the third fixing plate on the right side.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: By setting up a conveyor belt, storage tank, and fixed columns, the user places cigarettes on top of the first fixed plate. The first fixed plate causes the cigarettes to roll to the right side of the plate and fall into the storage tank. A first motor then drives one of the upper fixed columns to rotate inside a second bearing. Through the connection between the fixed column and the conveyor belt, the fixed column drives the conveyor belt to transport the cigarettes from the storage tank. Cigarettes in the storage tank fall between the two third fixed plates on the right side of the upper fixed column, above an electronic scale. The scale weighs the cigarettes to determine if they are empty. If the weight is below a threshold, a drive mechanism moves the electronic scale out of the second storage box, and the cigarette falls into the second storage box. If the weight is greater than or equal to the threshold, a cylinder is activated, causing a push plate connected to a connecting column to slide, pushing the cigarettes between the two third fixed plates out of the device and into the next stage of processing. The electronic scale then checks for empty cigarettes.

[0021] By installing a cigarette empty head detection device, the number of staff members can be reduced, the labor intensity can be lowered, and the work efficiency can be improved. Attached Figure Description

The fixing groove 407 is located inside the second fixing plate 406 at the other end. The two second fixing plates 406 at both ends are mounted on the upper part of the first storage box 1. On the right side above the first storage box 1, a second storage box 409 is installed. An electronic scale 410 is installed inside the second storage box 409. A third fixing plate 411 is installed on both sides above the second storage box 409. A push plate 412 is provided between the third fixing plates 411. A connecting column 413 is installed on the outside of the push plate 412. The connecting column 413 passes through the right third fixing plate 411 and is connected to the slide groove 414. A cylinder 415 for pulling the push plate 412 to move on the electronic scale 410 is installed in the slide groove 414. The output end of the cylinder 415 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 413. A drive structure 5 for pushing the electronic scale 410 out of the second storage box 409 is installed inside the second storage box 409.

[0029] The third fixing plate 411 on the right side has a groove that communicates with the slide groove 414. The groove extends along the extension direction of the slide groove 414.
