Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cigarette carton sorting, and in particular to a cigarette carton sorting replenishment truck and a cigarette carton sorting system. Background Art

[0002] The statements herein merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] The current replenishment truck for sorting cigarette carts first receives the stack of cigarette cartons delivered by the lifting device, then sorts the stack of cigarette cartons by the sorting plate, then pushes the corresponding row of cigarette cartons to the corresponding position of the cigarette outlet by the cigarette pushing plate, and then delivers the cigarette cartons by the cigarette picking mechanism. At present, after the cigarette sorting plate and the cigarette pushing plate sort the cigarette stack, the staggered layers of the cigarette cartons cannot be achieved, which causes the cigarette picking mechanism to easily get stuck when picking out the cigarette cartons, affecting the delivery of the cigarette cartons. Moreover, along the vertical direction, the friction between the adjacent layers of cigarette cartons gradually decreases from the bottom layer to the top. When picking cigarettes, the cigarette picking plate of the cigarette picking mechanism contacts the end faces of all layers of cigarette cartons, and the top layer of cigarettes often tilts forward when picking cigarettes. In addition, there is occasionally a shortage of quantity inside the existing cigarette boxes, which makes it difficult for the subsequent manual inventory and verification work.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] Example 1

[0043] This embodiment provides a truck for sorting cigarette carts. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a walking mechanism, which is used for walking along the guide rail. The walking mechanism is equipped with a cigarette stack transfer mechanism, which includes a support frame, a conveying mechanism, a cigarette sorting plate, a cigarette pushing plate, a mobile driving mechanism, a fixed baffle, a cigarette pushing mechanism, etc. The walking mechanism is fixed with a support frame, and a conveying mechanism is installed at the bottom of the support frame. The conveying mechanism is used for conveying cigarette strips. One end of the conveying mechanism is used for receiving cigarette strips as a feeding end, and the other end is used as a discharging end. A cigarette sorting plate is arranged on one side of the discharging end of the conveying mechanism, and the cigarette sorting plate is fixedly connected to the support frame. Along a conveying direction perpendicular to the conveying mechanism, a cigarette pushing plate is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism, and a fixed baffle is arranged on the other side. The width of the cigarette sorting plate is smaller than that of the conveying mechanism. The width of the cigarette sorting plate is formed on one side close to the fixed baffle plate as a smoke outlet for delivering the cigarette strips. The cigarette pushing plate is connected to a mobile driving mechanism installed on the top of the support frame. The output movement direction of the mobile driving mechanism is perpendicular to the cigarette conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, so that the cigarette pushing plate can move toward or away from the fixed baffle plate. When the cigarette pushing plate pushes the corresponding cigarette strip to a position corresponding to the cigarette outlet, the cigarette strip can be delivered. A cigarette prying mechanism installed on the support frame is provided on the outer side of the fixed baffle plate. The cigarette prying mechanism includes a cigarette prying drive assembly, which is connected to the cigarette prying plate through a connecting piece. The connecting piece passes through the fixed baffle plate through a long strip hole provided on the fixed baffle plate. The cigarette prying plate is located on the inner side of the fixed baffle plate for delivering the cigarette strips from the smoke outlet.

[0044] like Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, the walking mechanism includes a walking mechanism body 1. In this embodiment, the walking mechanism body 1 adopts a frame structure, which is welded by multiple steel beams. A walking drive element 2 is arranged in the middle position of the frame structure. The walking drive element 2 adopts a driving motor. The output shaft of the driving motor is connected to the pulley 3. The pulley 3 is meshed with the synchronous belt laid on the walking guide rail. The driving motor can drive the pulley 3 to rotate, thereby driving the entire walking mechanism body to move along the walking guide rail under the meshing action of the pulley 3 and the synchronous belt.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the movement of the walking mechanism, auxiliary wheels 4 are provided at the four corners of the walking mechanism body, and the auxiliary wheels 4 cooperate with the top surface of the guide rail 28. The front end and rear end of the walking mechanism body 1 are both provided with at least one group of guide wheel groups through the guide wheel mounting plate 5. In this embodiment, two groups of guide wheel groups are provided on the front end and rear end of the walking mechanism body, and the two groups of guide wheel groups are distributed along the walking direction. The guide wheel groups of the same group include two guide wheels 6, and the two guide wheels 6 respectively cooperate with the side surfaces of the guide rail to guide the movement of the walking mechanism body 1. It can be understood that the number of guide wheel groups can be set according to actual needs, for example, three or more groups are set, and guide wheel groups are provided on both sides of the front end and rear end of the walking mechanism body. The technical personnel in this field can set them according to actual needs.

[0046] In some other embodiments, the walking mechanism body adopts an existing electric vehicle, including a body, a driving motor is arranged inside the body, the driving motor is connected to the axle through a transmission mechanism such as a belt drive or a chain drive, the axle is connected to the wheel, and the wheel cooperates with the guide rail.

[0047] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 7 adopts a frame structure, which is formed by welding and fixing a plurality of horizontal beams and vertical beams, and its bottom end is fixed on the walking mechanism body 1 and moves with the walking mechanism body 1.

[0048] A conveying mechanism 8 is fixed to the bottom of the support frame 7. The conveying mechanism 8 adopts a belt conveying mechanism, including an active roller and a driven roller installed at the bottom of the support frame 7. A transmission belt is wound around the active roller and the driven roller. The active roller adopts an existing electric roller, and the driven roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame. The electric roller rotates around its own axis to drive the transmission belt to move, thereby conveying the cigarette strips.

[0049] One side of the conveying mechanism 8 serves as a feeding end, and the other side serves as a discharging end. A cigarette sorting plate 9 is provided on one side of the discharging end. The cigarette sorting plate 9 is used to contact the end surface of the cigarette strips, thereby achieving the sorting of the cigarette strips and cigarette stacks.

[0050] In order to achieve front-to-back staggering of adjacent rows of cigarette stacks, a plurality of first protruding structures 10 are provided on the surface of the cigarette sorting plate that contacts the end faces of cigarette rods along the direction from the cigarette pushing plate to the cigarette moving mechanism. When in use, each first protruding structure 10 corresponds to a row of cigarette rods, and the thickness of the plurality of first protruding structures decreases successively along the direction from the cigarette pushing plate to the cigarette moving mechanism, and further, the width of the plurality of first protruding structures 10 decreases successively.

[0051] Furthermore, the first raised structure 10 is made of a U-shaped plate, and the two sides of the U-shaped plate are provided with flanges, and are fixedly connected to the cigarette sorting plate 9 through the flanges. It can be understood that the first raised structure 10 can also adopt a raised block structure, etc., and technical personnel in this field can set it according to actual needs.

[0052] When the conveying mechanism 8 drives the end of the cigarette stack to cooperate with the cigarette sorting plate 9, the end of the cigarette comes into contact with the corresponding first protruding structure 10. Since the thickness of the first protruding structure 10 decreases successively, the front and back staggering of two adjacent rows of cigarettes is achieved.

[0053] A cigarette pushing plate 11 is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism 8, and a fixed baffle 12 is provided on the other side. The cigarette pushing plate 11 is connected to a mobile driving mechanism 13 installed on the top of the support frame 7. The mobile driving mechanism 13 can drive the cigarette pushing plate 11 to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cigarettes of the conveying mechanism, thereby driving the cigarette pushing plate 11 to move toward or away from the fixed baffle 12.

[0054] The fixed baffle 12 is fixedly connected to the support frame 7 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the mobile drive mechanism 13 adopts a belt transmission mechanism. The belt transmission mechanism includes a support seat, which is fixed to the top of the support frame 7, and a mobile drive member is provided at one end of the support seat. The mobile drive member adopts a device capable of outputting rotation, such as a motor or a hydraulic motor. Preferably, the mobile drive member adopts a motor, which is connected to a driving wheel, and a driven wheel is rotatably connected to the other end of the support seat. A transmission belt is wound around the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the transmission belt is fixedly connected to the cigarette pushing plate 11 through a connecting plate, which can drive the cigarette pushing plate 11 to move.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the mobile driving mechanism 13 may also adopt a screw transmission mechanism.

[0057] Furthermore, in order to guide the movement of the cigarette pushing plate 11, the cigarette pushing plate 11 is connected to a linear module fixed to the support frame 7, and the linear module includes a slider and a guide shaft. Sliders are provided at both ends of the top of the cigarette pushing plate 11, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide shaft, and both ends of the guide shaft are fixedly connected to the support frame 7.

[0058] After the cigarette stack is transferred to the conveying mechanism, the mobile driving mechanism 13 can drive the cigarette pushing plate 11 to move, and push the cigarette stack through the cigarette pushing plate 11, pushing a row of cigarette rods to be delivered to the position corresponding to the smoke outlet 14. At the same time, the row of cigarette rods contacts the fixed baffle 12, and the fixed baffle 12 guides the cigarette rods 15 to prevent the movement direction of the cigarette rods 15 from tilting when the cigarettes are removed.

[0059] Further, such as Figure 9-10 As shown, a camera 29 installed on the top of the replenishment truck is provided above the conveying mechanism. The camera 29 is fixedly connected to the support frame 7 through a camera bracket. The camera 29 is used to take photos or record videos, and transmit the photos or videos to the control system. The control system binds the received photos or videos with the current task number and tobacco product information.

[0060] Furthermore, at least one photoelectric detection element 30 is arranged above the conveying mechanism 8 corresponding to the smoke outlet 14. The number of photoelectric detection elements is the same as the number of rows of cigarette stacks on the conveying mechanism 8. In this embodiment, the cigarette stack on the conveying mechanism 8 has two rows of cigarette strips, so two photoelectric detection elements 30 are arranged. Each row corresponds to a photoelectric detection element 30. The photoelectric detection element 30 adopts a photoelectric sensor, which is fixed to the top of the support frame 7 through a sensor bracket. The photoelectric detection element can detect the height of the cigarette strips below it, and compare the measured value with the height of the cigarette strips of the product track in the background to determine whether there is a shortage of cigarettes. If there is no shortage of cigarettes, the replenishment truck will perform subsequent process actions. If there is a shortage of cigarettes, the control system will send an alarm signal to the alarm mechanism, and the replenishment truck will alarm and wait for manual processing. After the daily sorting task is completed, query photos or videos from the background for re-verification.

[0061] In another embodiment, if Fig.11 As shown, at least one photoelectric sensor is arranged above the feed side of the conveying mechanism 8. The photoelectric sensor is fixed to the top of the support frame 7 through a sensor bracket. The number of photoelectric sensors is the same as the number of columns of cigarette stacks, and can detect whether there is a lack of cigarettes at one time.

[0062] Compared with the traditional methods of detecting whether a cigarette is missing a strip by using 3D cameras, X-rays, pulse detection, etc., the use of photoelectric sensors for detection has low cost, simple structure, and no harm to workers.

[0063] In the present embodiment, in order to cause two adjacent rows of cigarette cartons 15 to be staggered, the surface of the cigarette pushing plate 11 used to push the cigarette cartons 15 is provided with at least one second protruding structure 16. In the present embodiment, the conveying mechanism 8 is used to receive two rows of cigarette cartons, so a second protruding structure 16 is provided. The second protruding structure 16 is arranged near the feeding end of the conveying mechanism 8 and is used to cooperate with the rear row of cigarette cartons. When the cigarette pushing plate 11 contacts the cigarette stack, the front and rear rows of cigarette cartons can be staggered.

[0064] Furthermore, a third protruding structure 17 is also provided on the fixed baffle 12. The third protruding structure 17 is arranged close to the cigarette sorting plate 9. The third protruding structure 17 corresponds to the front row of cigarette cartons 15. The third protruding structure 17 cooperates with the second protruding structure 16 to achieve staggered layers of two adjacent rows of cigarette cartons.

[0065] It can be understood that the second protruding structure 16 can also be provided in plurality, each second protruding structure 16 corresponds to a row of cigarettes, and the plurality of second protruding structures 16 are distributed along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 8, and the thickness of the second protruding structure 16 increases successively from the discharge end to the feed end of the conveying mechanism 8. Correspondingly, the third protruding structure 17 is provided in plurality, and the thickness of the third protruding structure 17 decreases successively from the discharge end to the feed end of the conveying mechanism.

[0066] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the second protruding structure 16 is a protruding block. In some other embodiments, the second protruding structure 16 may also be a U-shaped plate or other structures, and those skilled in the art may configure it according to actual needs.

[0067] The third protruding structure 17 also adopts a protruding block, and the protruding plate is fixedly connected to the fixed baffle 12 .

[0068] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, through the cooperation of the cigarette sorting plate 9 and the cigarette pushing plate 11, it is possible to achieve front-to-back staggering of adjacent rows of cigarettes in the cigarette stack, that is, staggering along the direction of cigarette conveying, and staggering of adjacent rows of cigarettes in a direction perpendicular to the direction of cigarette conveying, thereby avoiding the cigarette jamming phenomenon during cigarette removal and ensuring the smooth removal of cigarettes.

[0069] A cigarette moving mechanism is disposed outside the fixed baffle 12 . The cigarette moving mechanism is mounted on the support frame 7 and is used to move a row of cigarettes 15 corresponding to the smoke outlet 14 and send the row of cigarettes 15 out through the smoke outlet 14 .

[0070] The cigarette removing mechanism includes a cigarette removing driving assembly, which is mounted on the support frame 7. The moving part of the cigarette removing driving assembly is connected to the connecting member 18. The connecting member 18 passes through the fixed baffle 12 through the long hole 19 provided on the fixed baffle and is connected to the cigarette removing plate 20. The long axis of the long hole 19 is provided along the moving direction of the cigarette removing plate 20, and the moving direction of the cigarette removing plate 20 passes through both ends of the fixed baffle 12, thereby meeting the movement requirements of the cigarette removing plate 20.

[0071] Preferably, the cigarette removing drive assembly is connected to the two cigarette removing plates 20 via a connecting piece 18, and the two cigarette removing plates 20 are respectively located on both sides of the cigarette removing drive assembly.

[0072] The cigarette plucking plate is used to contact with the cigarette rods 15 to deliver the cigarette rods. The surface of the conventional cigarette plucking plate used to cooperate with the cigarette rods is a plane perpendicular to the conveying mechanism. When the cigarette plucking plate contacts with the cigarette rods, it contacts with the end faces of multiple layers of cigarette rods in the cigarette stack at the same time. Since the friction between adjacent layers of cigarette rods gradually decreases from the bottom layer to the top layer in the vertical direction, when the cigarettes are plucking, the cigarette plucking plate of the cigarette plucking mechanism contacts with the end faces of all layers of cigarette rods. When the cigarettes are plucking, the problem of loose stacks caused by the top layer of cigarette rods leaning forward often occurs. Therefore, if Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the cigarette prying plate 20 used to cooperate with the cigarette rods 15 is set to form a set acute angle with the vertical plane perpendicular to the conveying mechanism, and along the bottom-to-top direction, the plane of the cigarette prying plate 20 used to contact the cigarette rods 15 is inclined in the direction away from the cigarette sorting plate 9 so that the cigarette prying plate 20 first contacts the cigarette rods 15 on the bottom layer. Since the cigarette prying plate 20 first contacts the cigarette rods on the bottom layer, the problem of loose stacking caused by the forward tilt of the top layer of cigarette rods 15 is avoided.

[0073] The cigarette removing driving assembly comprises at least one closed-loop transmission mechanism, which is mounted on a support frame, and a moving part of the closed-loop transmission mechanism is connected to the cigarette removing plate via a connecting piece.

[0074] In this embodiment, a plurality of closed-loop transmission mechanisms are provided, and the plurality of closed-loop transmission mechanisms are distributed vertically. Preferably, two closed-loop transmission mechanisms are provided.

[0075] The closed-loop transmission mechanism adopts a chain transmission mechanism, including a driving sprocket 21, a driven sprocket 22 and a transmission chain 23 wound between the driving sprocket 21 and the driven sprocket 22, the transmission chain 23 is connected to the cigarette prying plate 20 through a connecting piece 18, the two driving sprockets 21 are coaxially arranged up and down and connected to the same driving shaft 24, the bottom end of the driving shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame 7 through a bearing seat, the two driven sprockets 22 are coaxially arranged up and down and connected to the same driven shaft 25, and the bottom end of the driven shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame 7 through a bearing seat.

[0076] The driving shaft 24 is connected to a power mechanism installed on the support frame, and the power mechanism can drive the main shaft to rotate. In this embodiment, the power mechanism includes a power element 26, and the power element 26 adopts a motor or other device that can output rotational motion. The motor is fixedly connected to the motor seat, and the motor seat is fixed on the support frame 7. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the driving shaft 24 through a transmission mechanism 27. The transmission mechanism 27 adopts a chain transmission mechanism or a belt transmission mechanism, and technical personnel in this field can set it according to actual needs.

[0077] The two transmission chains are both connected with a connecting piece 18 , and the connecting piece 18 passes through the fixed baffle plate 12 through the long hole 19 and is fixedly connected to the cigarette removing plate 20 .

[0078] like Figure 8As shown, the connecting member 18 adopts an L-shaped structure, including a vertical first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, wherein the first connecting portion passes through the long hole 19 and is fixed to the cigarette removing plate 20, and the second connecting portion contacts at least two links in the transmission chain 23 and is fixedly connected to one of the links. In this way, multiple links are stressed during cigarette removal, which avoids the situation where the connecting member presses the chain, causing the cigarette removing plate to be unable to align with the cigarette strips, thereby causing the cigarette removing plate to be scattered and stuck.

[0079] The working method of the replenishment truck of this embodiment is:

[0080] The conveying mechanism receives the stack of cigarette cartons delivered by the lifting device, and the conveying mechanism 8 transports the stack of cigarette cartons so that the cigarette cartons contact the first protruding structure 10 of the sorting plate 9, thereby achieving the staggered layers of two adjacent rows of cigarette cartons 15. The mobile driving mechanism 13 drives the cigarette pushing plate 11 to work until a row of cigarette cartons 15 corresponds to the smoke outlet 14, and achieves the staggered layers of two adjacent rows of cigarette cartons 15 through the second protruding structure 16 and the third protruding structure 17. The walking mechanism moves to the smoke outlet position, and the closed-loop transmission mechanism drives the cigarette pushing plate 20 to move, and the cigarette pushing plate 20 pushes the row of cigarette cartons corresponding to the smoke outlet 14 to the next sorting process.

[0081] Example 2

[0082] This embodiment provides a cigarette sorting system, such as Figure 9-11 As shown, a replenishment truck for sorting cigarette carts as described in Example 1 is provided, and also includes a cigarette piece conveying mechanism 31 and a horizontal sorting machine 32. The feeding side of the replenishment truck is provided with a cigarette piece conveying mechanism 31, and the cigarette piece conveying mechanism 31 adopts an elevator. The discharging side of the replenishment truck is provided with a horizontal sorting machine 32, and the horizontal sorting machine 32 has a plurality of cache channels 33 to receive the cigarette carts delivered by the replenishment truck. The remaining equipment of the cigarette cart sorting system, such as the elevator and the horizontal sorting machine 32, can adopt existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] In the cigarette sorting system of this embodiment, the elevator transports the unpacked cigarettes 34 to the replenishment truck. The camera on the top of the replenishment truck takes photos or records videos and transmits the photos or videos to the control system. The control system binds the photos or videos with the current task number and the cigarette product information. Then the cigarette pusher pushes the unpacked cigarettes to the corresponding position of the smoke outlet 14. When the replenishment truck walks to the designated cache channel in the horizontal sorting machine, the photoelectric sensor is used to measure the height of the cigarettes under the photoelectric sensor at this time, and the measured value is compared with the height of the cigarettes of the product specification in the background to determine whether there is a shortage of cigarettes. If there is no shortage of cigarettes, the replenishment truck performs subsequent process actions. If there is a shortage of cigarettes, the replenishment truck alarms and waits for manual processing. Wait for the daily sorting task to be completed, and query the photos or videos from the background for re-verification.
