Description
Technical Field

[0002] At present, in the cigarette frame recycling process of the tobacco processing industry, the unused cigarette frame sides are generally lifted and laid flat manually to complete the folding of the cigarette frames. The folded cigarette frames are then stacked with a forklift and stored in a warehouse to reduce the floor space.
[0003] The tobacco frames after leaf beating and re-roasting are recycled and stored. The current folding and stacking method is: when the empty tobacco frames are in place, two workers first lift up the side panels on one side of the tobacco frame to disengage the pin on the side panel from the U-shaped slot on the base, and then another worker holds up the upper part of the side panel to lower it to a horizontal level, and then lifts up the side panel on the other side to disengage the pin on the side panel from the U-shaped slot on the base, and then holds up the upper part of the side panel to lower it to a horizontal level, thus completing the folding of the steel tobacco frames; and then the folded steel tobacco frames are stacked into stacks in sequence by a forklift, thus completing the process of manual frame folding and stacking.
[0004] The above-mentioned manual frame stacking method has the following disadvantages: it requires tacit cooperation between two or three people, and the labor-intensive actions are not suitable for long-term repeated operations, so the three people need to frequently exchange work positions. At the same time, skilled forklift operators are required to complete the stacking process, the shape of the manual stacking is not regular, and there are safety hazards, etc. In addition, the current labor cost has risen sharply, which has seriously restricted the cost reduction and efficiency improvement of enterprises.

[0027] The manual forklift delivers the unfolded cigarette frame to the cigarette frame conveying device, starts the controller system, and the cigarette frame conveying device cooperates with the guide device to accurately transport the unfolded cigarette frame to the folding position. The first cylinder on the base fixing mechanism on both sides of the cigarette frame conveying device extends, pushing the cantilever installed on the linear slide rail to move, so that the cantilever presses the base beam of the unfolded cigarette frame, the wedge block on the side support lifting mechanism on one side is inserted between the base beam and the side support lower beam on one side of the unfolded cigarette frame, the fourth cylinder of the side support lifting mechanism on one side extends, so that the pin shaft on the side support column on one side is disengaged from the U-shaped card groove on the base beam, the second clamping claw on the side support pulling mechanism on one side clamps the side support lower beam on one side of the unfolded cigarette frame, and the fifth cylinder on the side support pulling mechanism on one side moves horizontally to complete the folding of the side support on one side of the unfolded cigarette frame.
[0028] The wedge block on the side panel lifting mechanism on the other side is inserted between the base beam and the side panel lower beam on the other side of the unfolded cigarette frame, and the fourth cylinder on the side panel lifting mechanism on the other side extends out, so that the pin shaft on the side panel column on the other side is disengaged from the U-shaped slot on the base beam, and the second clamping claw on the side panel pulling mechanism on the other side clamps the side panel lower beam on the other side of the unfolded cigarette frame, and the fifth cylinder on the side panel pulling mechanism on the other side moves laterally to complete the folding of the side panel on the other side of the unfolded cigarette frame.
[0029] The wedge blocks and the fourth cylinder of the lifting mechanism on both sides are reset, and the fifth cylinder on the pulling mechanism on both sides moves in the opposite direction and horizontally to reset, preparing for the next round of cigarette frame folding process.
[0030] The steps of moving and stacking are as follows:
[0031] The mobile trolley descends under the drive of the lifting mechanism. When the third clamping claw on the cigarette frame clamping mechanism is lower than the lower edge of the base beam of the folded cigarette frame, the lifting mechanism stops, and the third cylinder on the cigarette frame clamping mechanism contracts, pulling the third clamping claw to clamp the lower edge of the base beam of the folded cigarette frame.

The lifting mechanism rotates through the reduction motor, and the sprocket drives the chain to drive the cigarette frame clamping mechanism to move up and down, so as to achieve the purpose of stacking the folded cigarette frame.
[0035] Working principle of the present invention:
[0036] After the cigarette frame conveying device accurately transports the cigarette frame to the folding station, the cigarette frame is folded and stacked in two steps: box entry folding and mobile stacking. That is, the two sides of the cigarette frame are first turned up in sequence by the cooperation of the base fixing mechanism and the side side separation device, separated from the base beam and folded to the horizontal, and the box entry folding is completed. Then the folded cigarette frame is clamped by the cigarette frame clamping mechanism, and the moving mechanism and the lifting mechanism on the mobile trolley move left and right in coordination with the up and down movement to complete the mobile stacking. The moving mechanism drives the mobile trolley to move left and right to achieve the purpose of moving the folded cigarette frame from the box entry folding station to the mobile stacking station, and the lifting mechanism drives the cigarette frame clamping mechanism to move up and down to achieve the purpose of stacking the folded cigarette frame.
[0037] The automatic folding and stacking device for cigarette frames of the present invention not only imitates the actions and sequence of manual frame folding, but can also completely replace manual stacking, thereby helping enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
[0038] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0039] The present invention uses two steps of folding into boxes and moving stacking to fold and stack cigarette frames. After the folded cigarette frames are moved away from the folding station, the subsequent cigarette frames to be folded can be input, realizing the mode of stacking and folding at the same time, thereby reducing waiting time. Automatic equipment is used to complete the folding into boxes and moving stacking, replacing the mode of manual frame folding and stacking, reducing the labor intensity of workers, saving labor, and being beneficial to the cost reduction and efficiency improvement of enterprises. At the same time, the automatic equipment replaces manual labor and can be operated for a long time. The stacking shape of the automatic equipment is regular, which is convenient for forklift operators to place the folded cigarette frames that have been stacked into the cigarette frame storage position, thereby reducing safety hazards.
