Description

Equipment and method for manufacturing plant fixing section in cigarette
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device for manufacturing cigarette components, in particular to a device for manufacturing plant fixing sections in cigarettes.
Background
The cigarette is heated by a heater, and smoking is carried out after the cigarette is fuming. In the traditional cigarette, the tobacco product is smoked and sucked at a high temperature, thousands of substances in the tobacco product undergo extremely complex physical and chemical reactions at a high temperature, and a great number of toxic and harmful substances are generated. However, when the cigarette is smoked, the temperature of the tobacco part is lower, and only the tobacco shreds are heated without burning the tobacco shreds, so that the generation of tar can be greatly reduced or even avoided, and the smoke components are relatively controllable.
The plant solid section is applied as a part of the filter stick structure, and the main component of the plant solid section comprises plant particle mixed materials. The mixed material comprises, by mass, 60-70% of plant particles, 5-15% of a binder and 10-20% of a humectant. In the patent No. 201920310961.0 entitled injection-molded filter-type heating non-combustible tobacco product containing a solid-type smoke generating unit, the structure and material composition of the plant solid-type segment are described in detail.
The plant-fixing segments are usually formed by plant particles, wherein the plant-fixing segments are provided with at least one through hole to facilitate insertion of a heating needle after forming the filter rod structure. The plant solids are relatively low in hardness and brittle due to the nature of the constituent materials of the plant solids. With the prior art method and apparatus, forming the through-holes in the plant shape section in a subsequent step can easily fracture the plant shape section, thereby easily forming an unacceptable plant shape section. It is for this reason that the production of the plant solids of the prior art is extremely inefficient.
One of the main reasons for the tendency of the plant shaped sections to break up during manufacture is that the mixing of the component mixes is not uniform. Especially when the mixed material contains plant particles, the plant particles can be fully physically or chemically combined with other components only under certain extrusion force. The physical or chemical combination can make the smoke generated when the plant solid section is heated and not combusted meet certain requirements.

Since the second bearing unit 412 is disposed perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylinder 431, after the plant-shaped section received in the receiving groove 43101 drops on the second bearing unit 412, the axial direction of the plant-shaped section will be perpendicular to the moving direction of the second bearing unit 412. As the second carrying unit 412 is operated continuously, the formed plant shaped segments can be transferred to the roasting device 50 for roasting.
It is worth integrating that, the plant shaped section is sent to the baking device 50 for baking in a manner that the axial direction of the plant shaped section is perpendicular to the moving direction of the second bearing unit 412. Therefore, the dryness of the plant shaped section after being roasted by the roasting device 50 along the extending direction of the plant shaped section has good consistency.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 further comprising a toasting device arranged to form a toasting cavity and an inlet and an outlet in communication with said toasting cavity, said carrier being arranged to pass through said toasting cavity and said input and output ends of said carrier being extendable to said inlet and said outlet respectively, said input end of said carrier being arranged to be movable from said inlet to said outlet to enable the shaped plant shape to be conveyed to said toasting cavity for toasting.
9. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said blending assembly comprises at least two of said blending members, wherein both of said blending members are coaxially rotatably connected to said driving member.
10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said agitator member comprises an agitator body and at least two arms, at least two of said arms being spaced apart from one another on one side of said agitator body, at least two of said arms being spaced apart from one another on another side of said agitator body, said agitator body being rotatably connected to said drive member, a mixing space being defined between adjacent arms on the same side of each of said agitator bodies, and one of said arms of another adjacent agitator member being positioned to extend into said mixing space.
11. The method for manufacturing the plant fixing section in the cigarette is characterized by comprising the following steps:
at least one hole forming rod is coaxially arranged at one end of the spiral push rod;
the spiral push rod is driven to rotate, and the mixed material of the plant fixing section in the mixed material cavity is extruded in a rotating mode and moves towards a discharge hole communicated with the mixed material cavity through the hole forming rod, so that the mixed material of the plant fixing section is made into a cylinder with a hole.
12. The method of claim 11, wherein the method of forming the plant shaped section of the cigarette comprises the steps of:
and intermittently cutting the perforated body extruded from the outlet at a predetermined frequency to form the shaped plant solids.
13. The method of claim 12, wherein the method of forming the plant shaped section of the cigarette comprises the steps of:
conveying the shaped plant shape fixing section to at least one baking device; and
and baking the formed plant solid section to enable the humidity in the plant solid section to reach a preset requirement.
