Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of tobacco machinery, and in particular to a turning device for turning a prismatic cigarette package from a horizontal position to an upright position. Background Art

[0002] In the tobacco industry, a conveyor line is set up to transport cigarette packs. For example, for the transportation of boxed cigarettes or strips of cigarettes, cigarette packs are mostly prismatic, and most boxed cigarettes or strips of cigarettes are rectangular. In the conveyor line, cigarette packs are sometimes placed flat, that is, the cigarette packs are laid flat on conveying components such as conveyor belts and conveyor rollers. At this time, the center of gravity of the cigarette pack is the lowest. For rectangular cigarette packs, the plane formed by the longest side and the second longest side of the rectangle is in contact with the conveying component. Cigarette packs are sometimes upright. At this time, the conveying component contacts the surface of the cigarette pack that is adjacent to the surface that contacts the conveying component when placed flat. For rectangular cigarette packs, the plane formed by the shortest side and the longest side of the rectangle or the plane formed by the shortest side and the second longest side of the rectangle is in contact with the conveying component. Different parts of the conveyor line may have different requirements for the flat or upright state of the cigarette pack. When the cigarette pack is transported from a machine that requires the cigarette pack to be placed flat to a machine that requires the cigarette pack to be upright, the cigarette pack needs a steering device to turn the cigarette pack from flat to upright.

[0026] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the diverting device for diverting the prismatic cigarette packet 100 from a horizontal position to an upright position in this embodiment comprises a conveying component 1 , a diverting component and a guiding component 3 .

[0027] The conveying component 1 is used to carry the cigarette pack 100 and convey the cigarette pack 100 from the rear to the front. The rear and the front of this embodiment refer to the direction of the cigarette pack 100 coming from the conveying direction of the conveying component 1 as the rear, and the direction of the cigarette pack 100 conveying downstream as the front.

[0028] The conveying component may be a conveying device such as a conveying belt or a conveying roller. In the embodiment shown in the figure, it is a belt. The cigarette pack 100 is conveyed forward under the friction of the moving belt.

[0029] The steering component includes a first steering body 21 and a second steering body 22 located above the conveying component 1 and a steering channel located between the first steering body 21 and the second steering body 22. The first steering body 21 and the second steering body 22 are arranged relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying component 1. The steering component is used to steering the cigarette pack 100 when the cigarette pack 100 passes through the steering channel; the first steering body 21 and the second steering body 22 respectively include a first steering surface 211 and a second steering surface 221 extending along the conveying direction of the conveying component 1.

[0030] The first steering body 21 and the second steering body 22 are arranged on both sides of the conveying member 1, and with reference to the reader facing forward along the conveying direction of the conveying member 1, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the first steering body 21 and the second steering body 22 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the conveying member 1. The left and right in this application are both referenced to the left and right of the reader along the conveying direction from back to front.

[0031] The turning channel is located between the first turning surface 211 and the second turning surface 221. When the cigarette pack 100 passes through the turning channel under the action of the conveying component 1, it turns under the action of the first turning surface 211 and the second turning surface 211, turning from a horizontal position to an upright position.

[0032] The guide component 3 is located above the conveying component 1 and behind the turning component, that is, upstream of the conveying component 1. The guide component 3 is used to adjust the position of the cigarette package 100 to be turned so that the front end surface 110 of the cigarette package 100 to be turned is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying component 1 before entering the turning component.

[0033] When the front end surface 110 of the cigarette pack 100 is perpendicular to the conveying direction, the cigarette pack 100 extends along the conveying direction and the cigarette pack 100 is positioned correctly, so that the steering component can correctly and reliably steering the cigarette pack 100 after entering the steering component.

[0034] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the contour line of the front end face 110 includes a bottom line 111 and an upper vertex 112. After the cigarette pack 100 is adjusted in position by the guide component 3 and before entering the turning component, the bottom line 111 contacts the conveying component 1, and the upper vertex 112 is located above the bottom line 111 and is the vertex on the contour line of the front end face 110 that is closest to the second turning body 22 along the extension direction of the bottom line 111.

[0035] That is, after the guiding device adjusts the position of the cigarette package 100, before the cigarette package 100 turns, the vertex closest to the second turning body 22 on the contour line of the front end face 100 of the cigarette package 100 in the direction parallel to the bottom edge line 111 (that is, in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction) is the upper vertex. The contour of the front end face of the prismatic cigarette package 100 has multiple vertices, such as Figure 1 to Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the cigarette package 100 is in the shape of a cuboid, and the front end face 110 of the cigarette package 100 has four vertices. The line between the lower left vertex and the lower right vertex of the front end face 110 forms a bottom edge line 111, and the upper right vertex of the front end face 110 is the upper vertex.

[0036] The first steering body 21 and the second steering body 22 are configured as follows: when the cigarette pack 100 moves forward and passes through the steering channel, the first steering surface 211 is located below the bottom edge line 111 and keeps contact with the cigarette pack 100 through the bottom edge line 111, and the second steering surface 221 is located above the upper vertex 112 and always keeps contact with the cigarette pack 100 through the upper vertex 112.

[0037] When the cigarette pack 100 is located in the turning channel and the turning component turns the cigarette pack 100, that is, at this time, the cigarette pack 100 is in the process of turning from horizontal to upright, and the turning has not been completed, the first turning surface 211 only contacts the bottom edge 111 of the cigarette pack 100, and does not contact other parts of the cigarette pack 100. As the cigarette pack 100 moves forward, the bottom edge 111 slides on the first turning surface 211, and the first turning surface 211 rotates the bottom edge 111 by contacting the bottom edge 111. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the first turning surface 211 rotates the relative end of the bottom edge 111, so that the cigarette pack 100 turns from horizontal to upright. Since the first turning surface 211 only contacts the cigarette pack through the bottom edge 111, when the first turning surface 211 applies a force to the cigarette pack 100 to turn, the interference of the first turning surface 211 and other parts of the cigarette pack 100 is avoided, so that the turning of the cigarette pack 100 can be more stable.

[0038] In the process of the front end face 110 of the cigarette pack 100 being gradually turned by the force of the first turning surface 211, the cigarette pack 100 may slide below the first turning surface 211, that is, slide to the lower right, and the front end of the cigarette pack 100 may be lifted by the first turning surface 211, so that the cigarette pack 100 rotates in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, and the cigarette pack 100 fails to turn. In this process, the second turning surface 221 is always in contact with the upper vertex 112, and the force of the second turning surface 221 on the upper vertex 112 can prevent the cigarette pack 100 from sliding and rotating in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, so that the turning of the cigarette pack 100 can be more stable and reliable. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the cigarette pack 100 is a rectangular parallelepiped cigarette pack. When the cigarette pack 100 passes through the turning channel, it can rotate from a horizontal state around the ridge line located at the lower right that is perpendicular to and intersects the bottom line 111. After passing through the turning channel, the cigarette pack 100 completes the turning from the horizontal state to the upright direction.

[0039] The turning device for turning the prismatic cigarette pack 100 from a horizontal position to an upright position in this embodiment can turn the cigarette pack 100 stably and reliably.

[0040] In some embodiments, the conveying component 1 is configured to convey the cigarette pack 100 at a uniform speed, the first turning surface 211 is configured to make the cigarette pack 100 rotate at a uniform angular speed around the conveying direction of the conveying component 1 while passing through the turning channel, and the second turning surface 221 is configured to include a contact line that matches the trajectory of the upper vertex 112, and the contact line is a section of a cylindrical spiral line.

[0041] In this embodiment, the conveying component 1 conveys the cigarette pack 100 at a uniform speed, so that the cigarette pack 100 realizes uniform linear motion in the conveying direction. At the same time, the curved surface shape of the first steering surface 211 can make the bottom edge line 111 of the cigarette pack 100 realize uniform angular velocity rotation around the conveying direction of the conveying component 1, so that the cigarette pack 100 can realize uniform speed steering in the length direction of the first steering surface 211 along the conveying direction, making the steering process of the cigarette pack 100 more stable and controllable, easy to observe, and easy to find when the cigarette pack 100 has abnormal steering, which is convenient for timely detection of problems. In this process, the movement of the upper vertex 112 is uniform linear motion along the conveying direction, and at the same time, uniform circular motion is performed around the conveying direction. The motion trajectory of the upper vertex 112 is a cylindrical spiral line. The second steering surface 221 is configured with a contact line of a cylindrical spiral line matching the trajectory of the upper vertex 112 and in contact with the upper vertex 112, so that the upper vertex 112 can be stably and reliably moved along the contact line during the steering process, which helps to further ensure the stable and reliable steering of the cigarette pack 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first turning surface 211 is configured to be formed by cutting a line segment having the same rotation law as the bottom edge line 111 around the conveying direction of the conveying component 1 and the same movement law on the conveying component 1 .

[0043] In order to manufacture the first turning surface 211 matching the bottom edge line 111, it can be realized by cutting an integrated structure with a line segment having the same movement law as the bottom edge line 111. The line segment simulates the movement of the bottom edge line 111 in the entire turning process, that is, in the process of passing through the turning channel, the angular velocity of the line segment rotating around the conveying direction is always the same as the angular velocity of the bottom edge line 111 rotating around the conveying direction, the rotation center of the line segment is always the same as the rotation center of the bottom edge line 111, and the moving speed of the line segment along the conveying direction is always the same as the moving speed of the bottom edge line 111 along the conveying direction. The length of the line segment can be different from that of the bottom edge line 111, and the line segment can be longer, equal to, or shorter than the bottom edge line 111. When the length of the line segment is equal to that of the bottom edge line 111, the line segment completely overlaps with the bottom edge line 111.

[0044] This embodiment simulates the line segment cutting structure of the bottom edge line 111, and the cut curved surface below the line segment after cutting is the first turning surface 211. The first turning surface 211 manufactured in this embodiment has a large line segment length in contact with the bottom edge line 111 during the turning process of the cigarette package 100, and the turning of the cigarette package 100 is more stable and reliable.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first turning body 21 and the second turning body 22 are configured as follows: when the cigarette pack 100 moves forward and passes through the turning channel, the first turning surface 211 is located below the bottom edge line 111 and always maintains point contact with the bottom edge line 111, and the contact point between the first turning surface 211 and the bottom edge line 111 moves unidirectionally on the bottom edge line 111 toward the direction approaching the second turning body 22.

[0046] In this embodiment, the contact point between the first steering surface 211 and the bottom edge line 111 is considered to gradually move toward the rotation center direction of the bottom edge line 111 during the steering process of the bottom edge line 111. Since the first steering surface 211 in this embodiment only contacts the bottom edge line 111 at one point, the height of the first steering surface 211 can remain unchanged in the conveying direction, and the first steering surface 211 only needs to gradually extend toward the direction approaching the second steering surface in the conveying direction from the rear to the front. In some specific cases, the first steering surface 211 can be made very thin, and in extreme cases, it can be made into a curve with a constant height that gradually approaches the second steering surface 221 in the conveying direction.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the steering device further includes a triangular guide block 4 disposed on one side of the conveying component 1 close to the first steering body 21. The triangular guide block 4 includes an inclined surface disposed at the rear of the steering component and gradually rising from the rear to the front. The lowest point of the inclined surface is lower than the upper surface of the conveying component 1. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, before the cigarette pack 100 enters the turning device, the portion of the cigarette pack 100 located on the left side of the conveying component 1 is suspended in the air. As the cigarette pack 100 moves, the suspended portion of the cigarette pack 100 can move to the inclined surface of the triangular guide block 4. The inclined surface lifts the front end of the cigarette pack 100, so that the cigarette pack 100 can easily fall onto the first turning surface 211 when entering the conveying component 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the angle between the inclined surface and the horizontal direction is less than 30 degrees. Experiments have shown that when the angle is greater than 30 degrees, the cigarette package 100 does not land stably and is difficult to land reliably on the turning plane.

[0049] In some embodiments, the guide component 3 includes a first guide plate 31 and a second guide plate 32 disposed behind the steering component. The first guide plate 31 and the second guide plate 32 are arranged opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying device. The first guide plate and the second guide plate are both matched with the gaps on both sides of the cigarette package 100 passing therebetween. By providing the first guide plate and the second guide plate, the cigarette package 100 can be placed in the correct position before entering the steering device when passing through the guide device.

[0050] In some embodiments, the conveying device includes a conveyor belt.

[0051] In some embodiments, the steering component includes a first baffle 23 located on the left side of the first steering body 21 and a baffle 24 located on the right side of the second steering body 22. The baffles are provided to further prevent the cigarette pack 100 from falling.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the present invention.
