A centering device and centering method for cigarette rod conveying

Abstract

The invention discloses a tobacco carton conveying centering device and method. The tobacco carton conveying centering device comprises a conveying device, a grating bracket mounted on the conveying device, a grating sensor arranged on the grating bracket and centering mechanisms located on the two side of the conveying device. The centering mechanisms comprise first baffles, air cylinders mounted on the sides, close to the conveying device, of the first baffles, guiding rods penetrating through the center positions of the air cylinders, second baffles fixedly connected at one ends of the guiding rods, connecting rods sequentially penetrating through the first baffles and the second baffles and springs arranged on the connecting rods in a sleeving mode. According to the tobacco carton conveying centering device and method, positioning is accurate and rapid, the situation that a taking and placing device accurately grabs irregular tobacco cartons is facilitated, in addition, the structure is simple, and the purposes that the occupied area is reduced, energy is saved, and cost is reduced are achieved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco production, and more specifically to a cigarette conveying and centering device and a centering method. Background technique [0002] The cigarette conveying system generally includes a packaging machine, a detection device, a conveying device, a pick-and-place device, a packaging machine, etc. After the packaging machine completes the cigarette packaging operation, the cigarette is sent to the conveying device through the detection device. A pick-up device is provided at the end of the conveying device. Place the device, take the cigarette off and use a packaging machine for packaging. Because the size of the special-shaped cigarette is different from that of the ordinary cigarette, the pick-and-place device cannot accurately grasp it. If a spider-hand robot or a horizontal articulated robot is used to grasp it, it will greatly increase the cost of the equipment and the area of ​​the site. [0003] The...

Problems solved by technology

Since the size of special-shaped cigarettes is different from that of ordinary cigarettes, the pick-and-place device cannot accurately grab them. If a spider-hand robot or a horizontal multi-joint robot is used to grab them, the cost of the equipment and the area of ​​the site will be greatly increased.
