The motor 304 drives the first pulling roll 302 and the second pulling roll 303 to rotate in opposite directions, and pulls the tobacco rod P' to advance by the action of the clamping force in accordance with the production speed of the apparatus.
When the bar groove 3021 of the first pulling roll 302 rotates to the pulling position of the tobacco rod P '(the bar groove 3021 is opposite to the second pulling roll 303), the gap C between the outer circumference of the first pulling roll 302 and the outer circumference of the second pulling roll 303 increases, and becomes the gap C1 (greater than the thickness of the tobacco rod P') between the edge of the bar groove 3021 and the outer circumference of the second pulling roll 303, at this time, the first pulling roll 302 and the second pulling roll 303 have no pressure on the tobacco rod P ', and the tobacco rod P' can adaptively slide back and forth between the first pulling roll 302 and the second pulling roll 303.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the first plane groove plate 305 and the second plane groove plate 306 are arranged flatly on two sides of the traction roller pair, the bottom surfaces of the first plane groove plate 305 and the second plane groove plate 306 are respectively provided with a plurality of dust collection holes, the converging funnel 301 is arranged on the downstream side of the second plane groove plate 306, and the first plane groove plate 305 extends between the first knife roller 202 and the second knife roller 203. As shown in the schematic cross-section of the converging funnel of the present invention in fig. 20, the converging funnel 301 has a venturi structure inside, the converging funnel 301 is provided with a nozzle 308, and compressed air is introduced into the converging funnel 301 through the nozzle 308 in the venturi structure inside.
The inlet end of the converging funnel 301 is square to facilitate entry of the rods P'. The outlet end of the converging funnel 301 tapers to a circular shape for gathering the rods P'. After gathering the plurality of rods P', they are transported by the outlet end of the converging funnel 301 to downstream equipment.
Specifically, the venturi tube structure inside the converging funnel 301 is continuously supplied with air through the nozzle 308, so that the negative pressure is generated at the outlet end of the converging funnel 301, and under the action of the pressure difference, the converging funnel 301 continuously sucks the tobacco rods P 'conveyed by the first traction roller 302 and the second traction roller 303, and gathers the tobacco rods P'. After gathering the plurality of rods P', they are transported by the outlet end of the converging funnel 301 to downstream equipment.
It is advantageous to pre-gather the flat rods P' prior to shaping the tobacco base rod. For example, the pre-gathering can enable the tobacco rod P ' to be pushed into the round rod of the tobacco base rod to obtain smaller forming resistance, and further enable the tobacco rods P ' on two sides to be gathered towards the central axis of the round rod of the tobacco base rod at a slow transverse moving speed, so that the tobacco rods P ' can be better and straightly distributed in the round rod of the tobacco base rod.
In some embodiments, the diameter of the venturi structure at the location of the smallest cross section inside the converging funnel 301 is 1.5-3 times the diameter of the circular strip of tobacco-based rod.
The soft and weak tobacco rods P 'are difficult to be led out from the first annular knife grooves 205 and the second annular knife grooves 207 of the cutting unit 2, the pretightening force applied to the tobacco rods P' can be stably maintained in the running process of the device by utilizing the first traction roller 302 and the second traction roller 303, the pretightening force can ensure the flat and orderly conveying of the tobacco rods P ', the subsequent parallel distribution of the tobacco rods P' in the axial direction after the transverse gathering is facilitated, the flat posture of the tobacco rods P 'is kept unchanged, and the smooth leading-out of the tobacco rods P' from the cutting unit 2 can be effectively realized.
However, in objective terms, the first pulling roll 302 and the second pulling roll 303, and the plurality of first annular sipes 205 and the plurality of second annular sipes 207 cannot completely achieve line speed consistency due to manufacturing and control accuracy. Therefore, when the first traction roller 302 and the second traction roller 303 and the first annular knife grooves 205 and the second annular knife grooves 207 are not in sliding transmission, accumulated errors are generated, and when the errors exceed a certain value, the cigarette sticks P' are broken, the rollers are entangled, the unordered arrangement is caused, and the equipment efficiency and the production quality of finished products are seriously limited.
According to the invention, at least one strip-shaped groove 3021 is formed in the surface of the first traction roller 302 along the axial direction of the first traction roller 302, a gap C between the outer circumference of the first traction roller 302 and the outer circumference of the second traction roller 303 is smaller than the thickness of a cigarette strip P ', and when the first traction roller 302 rotates until the strip-shaped groove 3021 is opposite to the second traction roller 303, the gap C1 between the edge of the strip-shaped groove 3021 and the outer circumference of the second traction roller 303 is larger than the thickness of the cigarette strip P'.
The converging funnel 301 is arranged on the downstream side of the second plane groove plate 306, the venturi tube structure in the converging funnel 301 continuously provides compressed air through the nozzle 308, so that negative pressure is generated at the outlet end of the converging funnel 301, flexible traction is continuously carried out on the cigarette rods P ' in the operation process under the action of pressure difference, and further when the strip-shaped groove 3021 of the first traction roller 302 rotates to a traction position of the cigarette rods P ' (the strip-shaped groove 3021 is opposite to the second traction roller 303), the cigarette rods P ' can slide back and forth in a self-adaptive mode between the first traction roller 302 and the second traction roller 303, and therefore accumulated errors in conveying are eliminated.
According to the invention, through the adjustment of the flexible traction force of the tobacco rods P 'in the convergence funnel 301, when the tobacco rods P' pass through a gap C1 between the strip-shaped groove 3021 of the first traction roller 302 and the outer circumference of the second traction roller 303, the tobacco rods P 'can adaptively slide back and forth under the traction of negative pressure, so that the accumulated error of conveying is eliminated, and breakage, winding and disordered arrangement of the tobacco rods P' are avoided.
In some embodiments, a buffer is provided between the outlet end of the convergence funnel 301 and the downstream equipment, so that the tobacco rod P 'is stably conveyed to the downstream equipment, for example, a certain buffer amount is formed by speed control, and the buffer amount can be used for compensating the conveying error of the tobacco rod P'.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of rods P 'are transferred to the feeding unit 3, the plurality of rods P' are transferred over the first planar groove plate 305 and the second planar groove plate 306. In some embodiments, the plurality of tobacco rods P' are spaced from the upper surfaces of the first planar fluted plate 305 and the second planar fluted plate 306 by a distance of 0 to 1mm.
In a further embodiment, the distance between the plurality of tobacco rods P' and the upper surfaces of the first planar slot plate 305 and the second planar slot plate 306 is adjustable.
In a further embodiment, the tobacco rod P' may be in light contact with the upper surfaces of the first planar slot plate 305 and the second planar slot plate 306 when tensioned.
Because the tobacco rod P ' has the characteristics of low strength, high flexibility, easy breakage and the like, it is necessary to decide that a certain support is taken on the tobacco rod P ' to assist the conveying thereof, and the present invention takes a certain support on the tobacco rod P ' through the first planar groove plate 305 and the second planar groove plate 306 to assist the conveying thereof.
Since the transfer of the rods P 'requires slight tension, however, the slight tension of the rods P' is essentially jittery at high speed transfer, which inevitably leads to breakage of the individual rods P ', the jittery of the rods P' can be effectively suppressed by the first planar groove plate 305 and the second planar groove plate 306.
In addition, in objective terms, the first drawing roller 302 and the second drawing roller 303, in correspondence with the fact that the line speed of the plurality of first annular sipes 205 and the plurality of second annular sipes 207 cannot be completely achieved due to the precision of manufacture and control, breakage of the rods P ' between the pair of drawing roller sets and the cutting unit is not completely avoided, and the present invention supports the rods P ' by means of the first plane groove plate 305 and the second plane groove plate 306, the front section of the broken rods P ' remaining continuously conveyed forward in the flexible traction of the converging funnel 301. The rear section of the broken cigarette rod P ' is pulled to continue to be conveyed forwards by friction force generated by the cigarette rod P ' in normal surrounding conveying, when the head of the rear section of the broken cigarette rod P ' passes through the first traction roller 302 and the second traction roller 303, a clamping force is built again to realize flat and orderly conveying, the broken cigarette rod P ' can be maintained on a preset path of conveying the cigarette rod P ', and irreversible loss of materials is avoided.
