Development of a calibration tool for the folding turret clutch of the YB518 type cellphane packager
To solve the issues such as the folding turret clutch of the YB518 type external transparent paper packaging machine not disengaging in time during cigarette extrusion and the difficulty in adjusting torque during installation,a tool was developed to achieve quantitative calibration of the turret clutch.By using ANSYS Workbench software to conduct finite element simulation on the important component,the pressure spring,the material selection for the spring was determined.The optimal torque value for adjusting the turret clutch was found to be 35N·m using a failure shutdown rate fitting line.After using this tool to adjust the folding turret clutch of the YB518 type external transparent paper packaging machine,the disengagement rate of the turret clutch increased from 29.54%to 94.54%,and the average downtime for cigarette extrusion was reduced by 64.71%,decreasing the labor intensity during equipment maintenance and improving the production efficiency of the equipment.Additionally,by adjusting the diameter,this tool can be applied to turret clutches of various sizes and models,making it highly practical.
