Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of tobacco packaging machinery, and in particular relates to a filling device and a filling method for a double-opening strip box for cigarettes. Background Art

[0002] Cigarette cartons, which are often given as gifts, have three major technical features: the use of white paper, pre-gluing and forming, and structural diversity. Among them, the cigarette split-leaf cartons are a more representative type of this type of cartons. They are beautiful and well-liked by consumers, and have a broad market prospect. The cigarette split-leaf cartons use relatively set L-shaped left and right lids to achieve opening and closing.

[0003] However, due to the special structure and style of the double-leaf cigarette cartons, it is impossible to use existing forming equipment to achieve large-scale and high-efficiency industrial filling operations of cigarette packs.

[0004] Currently, the opening, filling, closing and packaging of cigarette cartons can only be completed manually. This method is very inefficient, costly, and has large quality fluctuations and is difficult to control.

[0005] If we want to solve the problems of low efficiency, difficult quality control, and complex production organization caused by manual filling of cigarette packs, we can only develop automatic cigarette packing equipment for double-leaf cigarette cartons as soon as possible for the application of double-leaf cigarette cartons.

[0006] In addition, the existing cigarette split-type carton boxes are pre-installed with drying bags to ensure the dryness of the boxes. In the automated operation, if you want to take out the drying bags, because of their small size, you should first use a detection and positioning mechanism to locate the position of the drying bags in the box, and then use expensive equipment such as a manipulator to take out the drying bags. This operation process is complicated, the equipment cost is high, and it is not conducive to actual production. Summary of the invention

[0053] The first mold box release mechanism opens the mold box on the synchronous belt station AA, places the strip box into the mold box, and the first mold box release mechanism stops working, and the mold box automatically tightens and clamps the strip box;

[0054] The mold box is driven by the synchronous belt to convey the strip box to the downstream station B, so that the strip box is inverted under the action of gravity, and the left and right box covers are automatically opened, and the strip box becomes open. At this time, the dry bags in the strip box automatically fall from the box to the collection box below;

[0055] The synchronous belt conveys the opened strip box to the downstream workstation C, and the strip box is rotated 180 degrees and placed upright on the synchronous belt, and the strip box remains in the opened state;

After the detection system detects that the strip box 60 is in place, the associated process of filling is started;

[0112] Step 4: The mold box 8 continues to be transported. When it reaches the workstation D, a filling mechanism (not shown) presses the cigarette packs 50 of two rows, five packs per row, into the empty carton box 60;

[0113] Step 5: When the strip box 60 reaches the workstation E, the left cover of the strip box 60 is closed by the blocking operation of the baffle of the strip box cover closing mechanism 7;

[0114] Step 6: When the strip box 60 is transported to the work station F, the right cover of the strip box 60 is closed by the blocking operation of the baffle of the strip box cover closing mechanism 7, and the closing action of the strip box 60 is completed to become a closed state;

[0115] Step 7. When the strip box 60 is transported to the workstation G, the bearing 19 on the mold box 8 rotates under the action of the cylinder. The left and right side plates of the mold box 8 open through the action of the connecting rod 32, and the tension spring 35 becomes stretched, so that the strip box 60 is moved out to the next mechanism for the remaining processes.
