Description

  The present invention relates to a cigarette making machine, and more particularly, to an automatic cigarette making machine capable of continuously producing a plurality of cigarettes.

  The cigarette making machines currently in use are mainly for mass production. For production, a continuous production line is applied, and chopped cigarettes that are mainly chopped by injection are injected into continuous cigarettes. Manufactured as a cigarette for general users. However, if you have special needs, if you cannot get the above equipment, you will have to wrap the cigarettes one by one. However, when cigarettes are wound, in the method of manufacturing cigarettes one by one, it is necessary to first cut tobacco leaves and wrap them in a wrapping paper or fill a cigarette wrapping bag. This not only takes time and labor, but also has a problem that it is difficult to control the density of chopped cigarettes in the cigarette-wrapped bag to cause variations in taste.

  In view of such circumstances, the present inventor has improved the above-mentioned problems and adjusted not only the production of a plurality of cigarettes, but also the bulk density of the cut cigarettes, unlike the configuration of the prior art. As a result of intensive studies based on many years of experience in order to produce an automatic cigarette making machine that can also meet personal requirements, the present invention has finally been reached.

  In the present invention, the turntable moves back and forth with respect to the front side of the container box, rotates at a certain angle, and continuously fills the cigarette, whereby a plurality of cigarettes can be continuously produced. The main objective is to provide an automatic cigarette making machine.

  The present invention controls the bulk density of chopped tobacco in the cigarette wrap when filling the chopped cigarette by adjusting the external pressure applied to the cigarette wrap by the pressure adjusting means in order to cope with personal taste. It is another object to provide an automatic cigarette making machine that can.

  In order to achieve the object of the present invention, an automatic cigarette making machine according to the present invention is provided with a container box for putting a cut cigarette having an opening on the inside, and an outlet is provided on the front side of the container box. A cigarette feed conduit that communicates with the outlet is connected to the front side of the bin, and is connected to the inside of the bin, and the chopped cigarette is pushed to output the cigarette to the outside through the cigarette feed conduit. A feed member, a turntable base, a turntable having a plurality of sleeves arranged in a circular array around the periphery of the turntable base, each of which is provided with a cigarette wrapping paper, and installed inside the housing , One end is connected to the turntable, and the turntable is driven to move back and forth with respect to the front side of the box and to rotate at a certain angle Ri, and a link member in which the sleeve of the turntable sequentially fitted into the tobacco feed conduit sequentially filled into the cigarette wrapping paper tobacco.

  When implemented, the interlocking member includes a plurality of guide pillars coupled to the periphery of the turntable in a circular array, and a guide that is installed in the housing and accommodates and guides one of the guide pillars on one side thereof. A rail is provided, and when the turntable moves back and forth once, a slide rail base for rotating the turntable at a fixed angle and one end connected to the turntable while the other end connected to the drive member By doing so, an interlocking member that drives the turntable to move back and forth with respect to the exit of the box is provided.

  When implemented, the casing further includes pressure adjusting means having a pressure adjusting member and a pressing member inside thereof. The pressing member is movably connected to the pressure adjusting member to control the external pressure of the pressing member on the cigarette paper when adjusting the pressure adjusting member, thereby At the output, the bulk density of the cut tobacco in the cigarette paper can be controlled.

  1. Since the present invention can continuously produce a plurality of cigarettes, time can be saved.

  2. The present invention can cope with a personal taste by effectively adjusting the bulk density in the case of filling tobacco into the cigarette wrapping paper.

  3. Since the present invention can cut the cigarette with efficient stirring before filling the chopped tobacco, not only can the filling operation be made smooth, but also the filling quality of the tobacco can be ensured. Is possible.

  As described above, according to the contents described in the present specification, the present invention can not only continuously manufacture a plurality of cigarettes while ensuring filling quality, but can also respond to personal requests. Since the desired object of the invention of providing an automatic cigarette making machine can be reliably achieved and has sufficient industrial applicability, a patent application for the invention is filed based on the law.
