Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette equipment technology, and in particular to a filter tip acceleration wheel stabilization device. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette manufacturing system, cigarette making equipment is a core technological tool that ensures production efficiency and product quality. The filter rod supply process is as follows: the filter rod first enters the filter rod cutting drum from the hopper, where it is precisely cut into double-length filter tip segments by a disc cutter; the cut filter tip segments are then conveyed to the staggered drum, where they are mechanically arranged in a staggered manner; subsequently, they are aligned along the centerline of the drum at the converging drum to form a single row of filter tip segments; finally, the single row of filter tip segments is fed into the filter tip acceleration wheel, where they are accelerated and then transferred to the converging drum to enter the next production process.

[0003] However, existing cigarette making equipment suffers from poor filter tip transmission stability during the operation of the filter tip accelerating wheel due to the lack of a limiting function. This leads to misalignment, skewness, and even the filter tip falling out of the wheel groove, severely disrupting the production process. Furthermore, the wheel groove of the filter tip accelerating wheel easily accumulates powder, dirt, and other debris over long-term operation. This not only further deteriorates the transmission stability of the filter tip but also increases the frequency of equipment failures, significantly reducing overall equipment operating efficiency and adversely affecting the economics and stability of cigarette production.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a filter tip acceleration wheel stabilization device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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 parts or parts having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0026] In this invention, the terms "comprising," "including," "having," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0027] In this invention, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Additionally, in this invention, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "and / or" relationship.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," "fixed," "combined," "coupled," and "installed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; they can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For example, a direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without an intermediate component, while an indirect connection refers to two parts or components each being connected to at least one intermediate component, with the connection achieved through the intermediate component. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Furthermore, "connected" and "coupled" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, but can also include electrical connections or couplings.

[0029] In this invention, those skilled in the art will understand that relative terms (e.g., “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions are to include the value and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, such relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a particular value, tolerances associated with the particular value due to manufacturing, assembly, use, etc. Such terms should also be considered as disclosing a range defined by the absolute values ​​of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values ​​not using relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values ​​with tolerances. Furthermore, “basically” when expressing relative angular relationships (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular) may refer to a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) added to or subtracted from the indicated angle.

[0030] In this invention, those skilled in the art will understand that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0031] In this utility model, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used solely for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when an element is mentioned as being "upper" or "lower" of another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional terms such as "upper side," "lower side," "left side," "right side," "front side," and "rear side" not only represent positive orientation but can also be understood as lateral orientation. For example, "above," "on top of," "upper side of," and "above" of the first feature and the second feature include the first feature being directly above, to the upper left, to the upper right, to the upper front, and to the upper rear of the second feature, or simply indicating that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. The terms "below," "under," "below," and "below" for "first feature" and "second feature" include situations where the first feature is directly below, to the lower left, to the lower right, in front of, or behind the second feature, or simply indicate that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a filter tip acceleration wheel stabilizing device. The filter tip acceleration wheel 200 includes a bearing seat 210 and a wheel body 220 rotatably connected to the bearing seat 210 via a rotating shaft. The wheel body 220 is provided with multiple wheel grooves 230 around its circumference for supporting the filter tip segments 100. Since the filter tip acceleration wheel 200 lacks a limiting function for the filter tip segments 100, the filter tip segments 100 are prone to misalignment, tilting, or even falling out of the wheel grooves 230 during the rotation of the wheel body 220. In particular, when the filter tip segments 100 rotate below the horizontal plane where the rotating shaft of the wheel body 220 is located, the filter tip segments 100 are prone to fall directly under the action of gravity, causing the filter tip segments 100 to fail to be accurately transferred to the receiving groove of the converging drum 300. Furthermore, the fallen filter tip segments 100 can also cause equipment failure, seriously interrupt the production process, and significantly reduce the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0033] Therefore, the filter tip acceleration wheel stabilizing device provided in this embodiment includes a mounting base 1, an axial limiting component, and a radial limiting component. The mounting base 1 is connected to the bearing seat 210 and is used to install the axial limiting component and the radial limiting component. The axial limiting component and the radial limiting component are located outside the filter tip acceleration wheel 200, and both are adapted to the outer peripheral contour shape of the wheel body 220. The radial limiting component is used to radially abut against the filter tip segment 100, radially limiting the filter tip segment 100 within the wheel groove 230 to prevent the filter tip segment 100 from falling off. The axial limiting component includes at least two first limiting members 2, which are located on both axial sides of the radial limiting component and are used to axially abut against the filter tip segment 100 to achieve axial limiting of the filter tip segment 100, thereby ensuring that the filter tip segment 100 moves along a preset trajectory, improving the transmission stability of the filter tip segment 100, reducing the frequency of equipment failure, and improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0034] In some optional embodiments, at least one first limiting member 2 is adjustablely connected to the mounting base 1 along the axial position of the filter acceleration wheel 200. By adjusting the position of the first limiting member 2 along the axial direction of the filter acceleration wheel 200, the distance between the two first limiting members 2 can be adjusted, thereby adapting to the axial limiting requirements of filter segments 100 of different lengths, which is beneficial to improving the versatility and practicality of the filter acceleration wheel stabilization device.

[0035] Furthermore, each first limiting member 2 is arbitrarily connected to the mounting base 1 along the axial position of the filter acceleration wheel 200. By adjusting the positions of the first limiting members 2 on both sides respectively, the filter segment 100 can be stably limited within the preset working area of ​​the filter acceleration wheel 200 while expanding the range of adaptable lengths. This avoids the problem of filter segment 100 shifting due to unilateral adjustment, which affects the stability of conveying. It can more flexibly and accurately adapt to the axial limiting requirements of filter segments 100 of different lengths, and further improve the compatibility of the filter acceleration wheel stabilizing device with the production of filter segments 100 of multiple specifications.

[0036] In some optional embodiments, the filter tip acceleration wheel stabilizing device further includes an adjustment assembly 4. The adjustment assembly 4 includes an adjustment rod 41, a locking member, and connecting rods 42 corresponding to the first limiting member 2. The adjustment rod 41 extends axially along the filter tip acceleration wheel 200 and is connected to the mounting base 1. The connecting rod 42 is slidably sleeved on the adjustment rod 41. The first limiting member 2 is connected to the corresponding connecting rod 42. The locking member is configured to lock the connecting rod 42 to the adjustment rod 41. When adjustment is required, the locking member is unlocked, allowing the connecting rod 42 to slide along the adjustment rod 41, thereby adjusting the position of the first limiting member 2 along the axial direction of the filter tip acceleration wheel 200. After adjustment, the locking member locks the connecting rod 42 to the adjustment rod 41, preventing the first limiting member 2 from being displaced due to equipment vibration during the operation of the filter tip acceleration wheel 200, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the axial limiting.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 42 has an adjustment hole that slides with the adjusting rod 41. The locking element is a bolt, which is threaded onto the connecting rod 42 and can pass through the side wall of the adjustment hole to abut against the adjusting rod 41, thereby locking the connecting rod 42 to the adjusting rod 41.

[0038] Alternatively, the locking element may also be a screw or a pin, which is not limited here.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the connecting rod 42 includes an adjusting portion 421 and a connecting portion 422 connected at an angle. The adjusting portion 421 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 42, and the connecting portion 422 is connected to the first limiting member 2. The adjusting portion 421 and the connecting portion 422 are connected at an angle, which can adapt to the outer peripheral contour of the wheel body 220, making the connecting rod 42 more closely fit the shape layout of the filter tip acceleration wheel 200. This effectively reduces the space occupied by the stabilizing device around the filter tip acceleration wheel 200, which helps to make the overall structure of the equipment more compact. It is especially suitable for scenarios where multiple components are densely arranged in cigarette production equipment, reducing the encroachment on the installation space of other adjacent components and improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the equipment.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, the filter tip acceleration wheel stabilizing device includes at least two adjusting rods 41, which are spaced apart. One adjusting rod 41 is slidably connected to the end of the adjusting part 421 away from the connecting part 422, and the other adjusting rod 41 is slidably connected to the connection between the adjusting part 421 and the connecting part 422. This two-point support adjustment structure avoids the wobbling and force offset problems that easily occur when supported by a single adjusting rod 41, ensuring stable support for the axial limiting component and ensuring accurate and stable positioning of the axial limiting component on the filter tip section 100. This improves the structural stability and operational reliability of the filter tip acceleration wheel stabilizing device during long-term operation.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the filter tip acceleration wheel stabilizing device further includes a connecting plate 5, the two ends of which are respectively bolted to the connecting part 422 and the first limiting member 2, making the connection stable and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the radial limiting assembly includes at least two second limiting members 3 spaced apart along the axial direction of the filter tip acceleration wheel 200. The spaced-apart second limiting members 3 along the axial direction of the filter tip acceleration wheel 200 can form multi-point radial constraints from different positions along the axial direction of the filter tip segment 100, improving the reliability of radial limiting of the filter tip segment 100. Simultaneously, the spaced-apart, separate second limiting members 3 do not need to completely conform to the entire axial length of the filter tip segment 100, significantly reducing the material usage and overall volume of the radial limiting assembly. This reduces the weight of the radial limiting assembly and its space occupation within the equipment, making it suitable for compact installation environments around the filter tip acceleration wheel 200.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the filter tip acceleration wheel stabilizing device further includes a connecting component corresponding to the first limiting member 2. The first limiting member 2 is connected to the adjacent second limiting member 3 through the connecting component to realize the installation of the second limiting member 3. When adapting to filter tip segments 100 of different lengths, only the first limiting member 2 needs to be adjusted to simultaneously complete the adaptation adjustment of axial and radial limiting, shortening the equipment adjustment time, further improving the ease of operation and adaptation efficiency of the filter tip acceleration wheel stabilizing device, and ensuring the stable conveying of the filter tip segment 100.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the connecting assembly includes multiple connecting rods 6, which are distributed circumferentially at intervals along the filter acceleration wheel 200. This improves the reliability of the connection between the first limiting member 2 and the second limiting member 3, enhances the overall structural strength of the filter acceleration wheel stabilizing device, and reduces the risk of displacement or deformation of the first limiting member 2 and the second limiting member 3 due to vibration and friction during long-term use.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the mounting base 1 is fitted onto the bearing housing 210. The stability of the bearing housing 210 can improve the positioning accuracy of the mounting base 1, ensuring accurate installation of the axial and radial limiting components, simplifying the overall assembly process and reducing structural complexity of the device; at the same time, the mounting base 1 can form a compact integrated layout with the bearing housing 210, adapting to the dense component arrangement environment around the filter nozzle acceleration wheel 200, further optimizing the internal space utilization of the equipment.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
