Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette production, in particular to a cigarette pack turning and pushing device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the development of special-shaped cigarettes in the domestic tobacco market has become the main theme of cigarette innovation. Different from the standard 25-flat pack packaging format used in traditional normal-sized cigarette cartons, that is, the cigarette packs are arranged in double rows horizontally with five packs in each row, special-shaped cigarette cartons mostly adopt an innovative vertical packaging format, that is, the cigarette packs are arranged in a single row of 10 small boxes arranged sideways in the cartons.

[0003] Before exiting the packaging machine to the cartoning machine, cigarette packs are usually placed on a conveyor belt to be transported to a designated location. However, during transportation, the transparent paper seams and pull cords of the cigarette packs face downward, which makes them impossible to detect by manual or cigarette pack appearance inspection devices. The occurrence of incorrect transparent paper seams and misaligned pull cords has a negative impact on cigarette factories and inconvenience for consumers.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to be equipped with a cigarette pack flipping and pushing device that can flip the cigarette packs to unify them into one side. Utility Model Content

[0010] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the telescopic rod is tilted upward with an angle of five to twenty degrees.

[0011] As an improvement of the above technical solution, the monitoring device is an L-shaped frame, and the position of the top of the monitoring device corresponds to the flipping device.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0013] 1. After the cigarette pack moves forward on the upstream conveyor belt and reaches the predetermined position, the upstream conveyor belt transports the cigarette pack to the flipping device. The pushing device monitors the front and back of the cigarette pack. When the cigarette pack is on the front, it is pushed by the pushing device, and the electric push rod starts to work, driving the rotating shaft and the rotating plate to rotate through the connecting plate. With the rotation of the rotating plate, the cigarette pack is pushed to the downstream conveyor belt by the pushing device; when the cigarette pack is on the back, the flipping device flips the cigarette pack, and the downstream conveyor belt receives the flipped cigarette pack. When the electric push rod of the flipping device is extended or retracted, it drives the rotating shaft and the rotating plate to rotate. The flipping plate hinged on one side of the rotating plate ensures that the flipping plate can flip the cigarette pack at a predetermined angle and path when the rotating plate rotates. Since the system can quickly identify the direction of the cigarette pack and automatically flip it so that the transparent paper seams and pull lines of the cigarette pack box face upward, the time required to process each cigarette pack is greatly shortened, thereby improving the processing speed and throughput of the entire production line.

[0014] 2. The telescopic rod provides a stable support between the rotating plate and the flipping plate. The telescopic function of the telescopic rod allows the angle between the rotating plate and the flipping plate to be adjusted. By changing the length of the telescopic rod, the flipping angle of the flipping plate can be controlled to adapt to different flipping requirements, thereby realizing the automatic flipping and orientation of the cigarette packs during transportation, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A cigarette pack flipping and pushing device comprises a transport device 1, wherein the transport device 1 comprises an upstream transport belt 11 and a downstream transport belt 12, wherein a pushing device 2 is arranged between the upstream transport belt 11 and the downstream transport belt 12, wherein the upstream transport belt 11 is suspended on the left side of the pushing device 2, and the downstream transport belt 12 is suspended on the front side of the pushing device 2, and a flipping device 3 is arranged between the front side of the pushing device 2 and the input port of the downstream transport belt 12, wherein the flipping device 3 comprises an electric push rod 31, a connecting plate 33, a rotating shaft 34, a rotating plate 36, a flipping plate 37 and a telescopic rod 38, wherein one end of the electric push rod 31 is fixedly mounted at a corner of the pushing device 2, and the other end of the electric push rod 31 is fixedly mounted to one end of the connecting plate 33, and the other end of the connecting plate 33 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 34, a rotating plate 36 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 34, a flipping plate 37 is hingedly connected to one side of the rotating plate 36, and a telescopic rod 38 is fixedly mounted between the rotating plate 36 and the flipping plate 37.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cigarette pack moves forward on the upstream conveyor belt 11. After reaching the predetermined position, the upstream conveyor belt 11 transports the cigarette pack to the flipping device 3. The pushing device 2 monitors the front and back of the cigarette pack. When the cigarette pack is on the front, it is pushed by the pushing device 2, and the electric push rod 31 starts to work, driving the rotating shaft 34 and the rotating plate 36 to rotate through the connecting plate 33. The rotating plate 36 rotates, and the cigarette pack is pushed to the downstream conveyor belt 12 by the pushing device 2; when the cigarette pack is on the back, the flipping device 3 flips the cigarette pack, and the downstream conveyor belt 12 receives the flipped cigarette pack. When the electric push rod 31 of the flipping device 3 is extended or retracted, it will drive the rotating shaft 34 and the rotating plate 36 to rotate. The flipping plate 37 hinged on one side of the rotating plate 36 ensures that when the rotating plate 36 rotates The flip plate 37 can flip the cigarette pack at a predetermined angle and path so that the transparent paper seams and draw lines of the cigarette pack box face upward, which is convenient for the inspection of the appearance of the cigarette pack. The telescopic rod 38 provides a stable support between the rotating plate 36 and the flip plate 37. The telescopic function of the telescopic rod 38 allows the angle between the rotating plate 36 and the flip plate 37 to be adjusted. By changing the length of the telescopic rod 38, the flipping angle of the flip plate 37 can be controlled to adapt to different flipping requirements, thereby realizing automatic flipping and orientation of the cigarette pack during transportation, improving production efficiency and product quality, and because the system can quickly identify the direction of the cigarette pack and automatically flip it, it greatly shortens the time required to process each cigarette pack, thereby improving the processing speed and throughput of the entire production line.

[0025] Specifically, the pushing device 2 includes a base 21 , a cylinder 22 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 21 , a cigarette pushing plate 23 is arranged on the top surface of the cylinder 22 , and a monitoring device 24 is fixedly mounted on the top of the cigarette pushing plate 23 .

[0026] In this embodiment, the base 21 serves as the foundation of the entire pushing device 2 and provides a stable support to bear the weight of the cylinder 22, the cigarette pushing plate 23 and the monitoring device 24 as well as the force generated when pushing the cigarette pack. The cylinder 22 is installed on the upper surface of the base 21 and is responsible for generating the pushing force. By controlling the extension and retraction of the cylinder 22, the moving distance and speed of the cigarette pushing plate 23 can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving a smooth push of the cigarette pack. The cigarette pushing plate 23 is fixed to the top surface of the cylinder 22 to ensure that the cigarette pack can move stably during the pushing process. The monitoring device 24 is installed on the top of the cigarette pushing plate 23, so that the monitoring device 24 can directly obtain the dynamic information of the cigarette pack during the pushing process, such as position, speed, acceleration, etc., to determine whether the cigarette pack is in a normal state and whether further measures need to be taken.

[0027] Specifically, one end of the electric push rod 31 is fixedly installed with the base 21 , and the other end of the electric push rod 31 is provided with a fixing plate 32 , and the fixing plate 32 is fixedly installed with the connecting plate 33 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the electric push rod 31 pushes the connecting plate 33 and the subsequent flipping mechanism through telescopic movement. The fixed installation of the electric push rod 31 and the base 21 ensures the stability and reliability of the electric push rod 31. The base 21, as the foundation of the entire device, has sufficient load-bearing capacity and stability, which can ensure that the electric push rod 31 will not shake or move during operation. The fixed plate 32 is a bridge connecting the electric push rod 31 and the connecting plate 33. One end of it is fixedly installed with the other end of the electric push rod 31, and the other end is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 33. The function of the fixed plate 32 is to transmit the telescopic force of the electric push rod 31 to the connecting plate 33, thereby driving the flipping mechanism to work.

[0029] Specifically, a placing rack 35 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the rotating plate 36 , a baffle 39 is provided at the front side of the placing rack 35 , and the baffle 39 is fixedly installed with the top end of the downstream conveyor belt 12 .

[0030] In this embodiment, the placement rack 35 provides a clear placement position for the cigarette packs, ensuring that the cigarette packs can be stably placed on the rotating plate 36 before flipping, which helps to reduce the shaking and displacement of the cigarette packs during the flipping process. According to the design of the placement rack 35, it can adapt to cigarette packs of different sizes. By adjusting the size or shape of the placement rack 35, it can ensure that cigarette packs of various sizes can be stably supported. The height of the baffle 39 should be adjusted according to the height of the cigarette packs to ensure that it can effectively prevent the cigarette packs from falling. The baffle 39 needs to be bolted to the top of the downstream conveyor belt 12 to prevent loosening or displacement during the flipping process.

[0031] Specifically, the telescopic rod 38 is tilted upward, with an inclination angle of 5 to 20 degrees.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the telescopic rod 38 is tilted upward, it will generate an upward component force when pushing the flip plate 37. This component force helps the flip plate 37 to flip the cigarette pack more smoothly, especially when the cigarette pack is heavy or requires a larger flipping force. The tilted telescopic rod 38 provides a stable support point for the flip plate 37 during the flipping process. By adjusting the inclination angle of the telescopic rod 38 between five and twenty degrees, the flipping angle and flipping speed of the flip plate 37 can be indirectly controlled. By stably flipping the cigarette pack, the tilted telescopic rod 38 helps to reduce damage to the cigarette pack during the flipping process, thereby improving product quality.

[0033] Specifically, the monitoring device 24 is an L-shaped frame, and the position of the top of the monitoring device 24 corresponds to the turning device 3 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the L-shaped frame design usually has good stability and can ensure the reliability of the monitoring device 24 during long-term operation. Since the top of the monitoring device 24 corresponds to the flipping device 3, the monitoring device 24 can directly observe the working status of the flipping device 3, such as the front and back of the cigarette pack, the flipping process of the cigarette pack, whether the position is accurate, etc. The monitoring device 24 is equipped with a camera, a sensor or other data acquisition device for collecting various data of the flipping device 3 during operation.

[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it.
