Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing, specifically to a sorting device for tobacco packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Operators must first log in to the sorting management system via computer or handheld PDA, download the corresponding documents according to the order batch, and select real-time or batch scanning mode. When scanning, the operator holds the barcode scanner, keeping the scanner tip 10-30cm away from the "Engineering Code No. 1" or product barcode on the tobacco packaging, and adjusts the angle so that the scanning light covers the entire barcode. The tilt angle should usually be controlled within ±60° to avoid recognition failure due to angle deviation. After pressing the barcode scanner trigger, the device emits a laser or image beam to scan the barcode. If a "beep" sound is heard and the system displays information such as tobacco brand, specifications, and production batch, the scan is successful. Then, the operator must immediately check whether the information displayed on the screen matches the order details. If they match, the item is placed in a qualified box; if they do not match, it is placed in a non-qualified box.

[0003] In practical use, the manual handheld barcode scanner method has the following drawbacks: First, the scanning speed is limited by the rhythm of manual operation. A single barcode scanner can process a maximum of 30-50 tobacco items per minute, which is not suitable for high-speed sorting scenarios. Second, the error rate is strongly correlated with the human condition. Fatigue and distraction caused by long-term operation can easily lead to missed or incorrect scanning, greatly increasing ineffective labor. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sorting device for tobacco packaging to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a sorting device for tobacco packaging is provided, including a drive box covered with a top plate, on which a mounting frame is fixed. A barcode scanner positioning frame is mounted on the mounting frame. A stepping sorting assembly is covered on the surface of the top plate. A qualified product conveying device is provided on one side of the stepping sorting assembly, and a non-qualified product conveying device is provided on the other side of the stepping sorting assembly. A sorting tray is mounted on the stepping sorting assembly, and a limiting plate is fixed at the bottom of the sorting tray. Multiple sorting wheels are evenly mounted on the sorting tray.

[0006] Furthermore, the barcode scanner positioning frame is positioned directly above the sorting tray, and the sorting tray is circular. The barcode scanner positioning frame also has a barcode scanner positioning and mounting port.

[0007] Furthermore, both the qualified product conveying device and the unqualified product conveying device have arc-shaped grooves at their ends that are adapted to the size of the sorting tray, and the qualified product conveying device and the unqualified product conveying device are vertically distributed between them.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the limiting plate is provided with multiple sets of guide seats at equal intervals, and the surface of the top plate is provided with an annular guide rail. The guide rail is adapted to the size of the guide seat, and the guide seat is slidably disposed inside the guide rail. The cross-section of both the guide rail and the guide seat is dovetail shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, the sorting tray is provided with multiple sorting wheels at equal intervals, and the sorting wheels are provided with a main shaft. At the same time, a set of synchronous wheels is provided on the outside of the sorting tray. The multiple sets of sorting wheels are driven to rotate through the set of synchronous wheels and the main shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer side of the synchronous pulley set is covered with a wheel cover, and a drive wheel is provided at the bottom of the synchronous pulley set. The drive wheel and the synchronous pulley set are connected by a synchronous belt for transmission.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive wheel is mounted on the output end of the drive motor, and the drive motor is mounted on the limit plate via a base.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This solution uses a 90° angle between the qualified and unqualified product conveying devices to match the 90° rotation of the sorting tray in the stepping sorting assembly. When a product is identified as unqualified by scanning, the limit plate drives the sorting tray to rotate 90°, and the conveying direction of the sorting wheel can directly connect with the unqualified product conveying device, reducing path deviation and jamming when tobacco is turned and conveyed. This replaces manual sorting, improves tobacco sorting speed, and is suitable for high-speed sorting scenarios.

[0014] 2. This solution uses a 90° layout to vertically distribute the two conveying devices in space, which saves the overall equipment footprint, avoids confusion caused by intersecting conveying paths, clearly distinguishes the flow of qualified and unqualified products, reduces the risk of mixing, and, together with the synchronous rotation of the sorting wheels driven by the synchronous wheel set, improves the continuity and efficiency of sorting and turning, and achieves stable conveying without the need for additional complex guiding structures.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a sorting device for tobacco packaging, including a drive box 1, a top plate 11 covering the drive box 1, and a mounting frame 2 fixed on the top plate 11. The mounting frame 2 is equipped with a barcode scanner positioning frame 21. The surface of the top plate 11 is covered with a stepping sorting component 3. A qualified product conveying device 4 is provided on one side of the stepping sorting component 3, and a non-qualified product conveying device 5 is provided on the other side of the stepping sorting component 3. A sorting tray 34 is installed on the stepping sorting component 3, and a limiting plate 31 is fixed at the bottom of the sorting tray 34. At the same time, multiple sorting wheels 35 are evenly installed on the sorting tray 34.

[0023] Working principle: When the barcode scanner is installed on the barcode scanner positioning frame 21, the packaged tobacco is conveyed from the conveyor belt to the sorting tray 34 on the stepping sorting component 3. The barcode scanner can scan the barcode on the tobacco. When the information displayed on the screen is consistent with the order details, the drive motor 39 drives the drive wheel 38 to rotate. The drive wheel 38 drives the synchronous pulley group 37 to rotate through the synchronous belt. The synchronous pulley group 37 can drive the multiple sorting wheels 35 to rotate. During the synchronous rotation of the sorting wheels 35, the tobacco can be conveyed to the qualified product conveying device 4 and then conveyed to the qualified product storage box through the qualified product conveying device 4.

[0024] Conversely, when the information displayed on the screen is inconsistent with the order details, the stepper motor inside the drive box 1 first drives the limit plate 31 to rotate. The limit plate 31 drives the sorting plate 34 to rotate 90 degrees, so that when the sorting wheel 35 on the sorting plate 34 rotates, it can transport the unqualified tobacco on it to the unqualified product conveying device 5, and then transport it to the unqualified product storage box through the unqualified product conveying device 5. The angle between the qualified product conveying device 4 and the unqualified product conveying device 5 is 90 degrees, which replaces the manual sorting method, improves the tobacco sorting speed, and is suitable for high-speed sorting scenarios.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the barcode scanner positioning frame 21 is positioned directly above the sorting tray 34, and the sorting tray 34 is circular. The barcode scanner positioning frame 21 is provided with a barcode scanner positioning and mounting port.

[0026] Both the qualified product conveying device 4 and the unqualified product conveying device 5 have arc-shaped grooves at their ends that are adapted to the size of the sorting tray 34, and the qualified product conveying device 4 and the unqualified product conveying device 5 are vertically distributed between them.

[0027] The bottom of the limiting plate 31 is provided with multiple sets of guide seats 32 at equal intervals, and the surface of the top plate 11 is provided with an annular guide rail 33. The guide rail 33 is adapted to the size of the guide seat 32, and the guide seat 32 is slidably disposed inside the guide rail 33. The cross sections of the guide rail 33 and the guide seat 32 are both dovetail shaped.

[0028] like Figures 3-6 As shown: When the sorting tray 34 rotates, multiple sets of guide seats 32 are installed below the limiting plate 31 fixed to its bottom. The guide seats 32 are slidably arranged inside the guide rail 33, which can limit and guide the limiting plate 31 and the sorting tray 34 when they rotate, ensuring the stability of the sorting tray 34 during operation and preventing it from tilting.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a sorting tray 34 is provided with multiple sorting wheels 35 at equal intervals, and a main shaft 36 is provided on the sorting wheels 35. At the same time, a synchronous wheel set 37 is provided on the outer side of the sorting tray 34. The multiple sorting wheels 35 are driven to rotate through the synchronous wheel set 37 and the main shaft 36.

[0030] The outer side of the synchronous pulley set 37 is covered by a wheel cover 370, and the bottom of the synchronous pulley set 37 is provided with a drive wheel 38. The drive wheel 38 and the synchronous pulley set 37 are connected by a synchronous belt.

[0031] The drive wheel 38 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 39, and the drive motor 39 is mounted on the limit plate 31 via a base.

[0032] like Figures 1-5As shown: the qualified product conveying device 4 and the unqualified product conveying device 5 are at a 90° angle, which can match the 90° rotation of the sorting disc 34 in the stepping sorting assembly 3. When the barcode is scanned and the product is identified as unqualified, the limit disc 31 drives the sorting disc 34 to rotate 90°, and the conveying direction of the sorting wheel 35 can directly connect with the unqualified product conveying device 5, reducing path deviation and jamming when tobacco is turned and conveyed. At the same time, the 90° layout makes the two conveying devices vertically distributed in space, which saves the overall equipment footprint, avoids confusion caused by the intersection of conveying paths, and can clearly distinguish the flow direction of qualified and unqualified products, reducing the risk of mixing. With the synchronous rotation of the sorting wheel 35 driven by the synchronous wheel set 37, the continuity and efficiency of sorting and turning can be improved, and stable conveying can be achieved without additional complex guiding structures.

[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown: The barcode scanner positioning frame 21 is located directly above the sorting tray 34 and has a positioning mounting port, which can fix the position of the barcode scanner and ensure a stable scanning angle for the tobacco barcodes on the sorting tray 34, thereby improving recognition accuracy; The sorting tray 34 is circular, and with the arc-shaped grooves at the ends of the qualified product conveying device 4 and the unqualified product conveying device 5 that are adapted to the size of the sorting tray 34, the sorting tray 34 can be seamlessly connected with the two conveying devices, reducing collisions and jams during tobacco conveying;

[0034] The two conveying devices are vertically distributed, further optimizing the spatial layout and avoiding path interference. The guide seat 32 at the bottom of the limiting plate 31 is slidably set in the annular guide rail 33 of the top plate 11 to ensure stable overall operation. The multi-group sorting wheels 35 on the sorting plate 34 are driven to rotate by the synchronous wheel set 37 and the main shaft 36, which can ensure that each sorting wheel 35 rotates synchronously and in the same direction, ensuring the consistency of tobacco conveying. The wheel cover 370 on the outside of the synchronous wheel set 37 can protect against dust and reduce external interference to the transmission structure. The drive wheel 38 is driven by the synchronous belt and the synchronous wheel set 37, and the drive wheel 38 is driven by the drive motor 39 installed on the limiting plate 31. It can rotate synchronously with the sorting plate 34, ensuring the stability of the transmission link and avoiding transmission failure caused by the rotation of the sorting plate 34, thus improving the overall sorting efficiency and stability.
