Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cigarette pack conveying, and more particularly to a device and system for automatically arranging and conveying special-shaped cigarette packs based on a planetary gear system. Background Art

[0002] As consumer spending levels rise, demand for mid- to high-end cigarettes is increasing. Special-shaped packaged cigarettes are considered mid- to high-end tobacco products. Due to their high quality requirements and lower demand compared to conventionally packaged cigarettes, production often relies on a semi-mechanical, semi-manual sorting method for pack sorting and quality inspection. This process requires significant manpower and time, severely limiting the production efficiency of special-shaped packaged cigarettes. Furthermore, current research focuses primarily on improving the production efficiency of the YB55 small-box transparent paper packaging machine, while limited research is available on automated sorting and conveying of output cigarette packs.

[0003] Currently, cigarette packs are primarily sorted and loaded manually. Packs output from the YB55 small-box cellophane wrapper are manually collected and sorted, and only after passing quality inspection can they proceed to the next process. This manual sorting process requires significant manpower, financial resources, and time, significantly reducing the production efficiency of odd-shaped cigarette packs. Furthermore, the manual sorting process is relatively messy and requires more time for on-site management.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a device and system that can effectively realize the automatic sorting and orderly output of cigarette packs has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0031] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0032] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0033] according to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic arranging and conveying device 107 for irregular cigarette packs based on a planetary gear system, comprising a motor 1, a housing 2 and a planetary turntable 3.

[0034] A driving shaft 4 and a driven shaft 5 are rotatably connected in the box body 2, and a first gear 6 is provided on the driving shaft 4, and a second gear 7 is provided on the driven shaft 5. The first gear 6 and the second gear 7 are engaged for transmission, and the output shaft of the motor 1 is connected to the driving shaft 4.

[0035] A flange sleeve 8 is also provided at the end of the housing 2 away from the motor 1. The flange sleeve 8 is rotatably sleeved on the driving shaft 4, and a third gear 9 is also provided at the end of the flange sleeve 8 located on the inner side of the housing 2. A fourth gear 10 is also provided on the driven shaft 5. The third gear 9 and the fourth gear 10 are engaged with each other. The planetary turntable 3 is connected to the other end of the flange sleeve 8 to drive the planetary turntable 3 to rotate.

[0036] The end of the driving shaft 4 away from the motor 1 extends into the planetary turntable 3 and is connected to the fifth gear 11. A push plate shaft 13 is provided in the planetary turntable 3 for rotation, and a sixth gear 12 is provided on the push plate shaft 13. The fifth gear 11 and the sixth gear 12 are engaged and transmitted to drive the push plate shaft 13 to rotate. The end of the push plate shaft 13 away from the box body 2 extends to the outside of the planetary turntable 3 and is connected to a push plate 14. The push plate 14 is used to push the cigarette pack 108 to move.

[0037] In this embodiment, the automatic cigarette pack sorting and conveying device 107 is mainly composed of a motor 1, a planetary gear system, and a push plate 14. When the device is running, the motor 1 drives the driving shaft 4 to rotate, providing power to the first gear 6 and the fifth gear 11. The first gear 6 drives the second gear 7 to rotate, thereby driving the driven shaft 5 to rotate. The driven shaft 5 drives the third gear 9 to rotate, and then drives the fourth gear 10 to rotate. Because the flange sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the planetary turntable 3, the fourth gear 10 drives the flange sleeve 8 to rotate, which can drive the planetary turntable 3 to rotate through the fourth gear 10. At the same time, the rotation of the fifth gear 11 drives the sixth gear 12 and the push plate shaft 13 to move together, and then drives the push plate 14 installed on the push plate shaft 13 to move, thereby realizing the automatic sorting and orderly conveying of the cigarette packs 108.

[0038] Furthermore, the rotational connections between the driving shaft 4 and the driven shaft 5 and the housing 2 are all provided with rotating bearings, which is beneficial to reducing the friction between the three, thereby facilitating the rotation of the driving shaft 4 and the driven shaft 5 and improving the output efficiency of the motor 1.

[0039] Furthermore, a rolling bearing 16 is provided between the driving shaft 4 and the flange sleeve 8. Since the flange and the driving shaft 4 are coaxially arranged, and the rotation of the driving shaft 4 cannot directly drive the flange sleeve 8 to rotate, the rolling bearing 16 is provided between the two to reduce the friction between the two.

[0040] Furthermore, rolling bearings 16 are installed at the rotational connections between the flange sleeve 8, the housing 2, and the planetary turntable 3. Similar to the above, the flange sleeve 8 needs to drive the planetary turntable 3 in rotation, and the housing 2 is fixed. Therefore, there is relative rotation between the flange sleeve 8 and the housing 2. To improve the rotational efficiency of the flange sleeve 8, the installation of rolling bearings 16 between the flange sleeve 8 and the housing 2 can effectively reduce the friction between them. In addition, a spacer 17 is installed between the flange sleeve 8 and the housing 2, into which a lubricant such as lubricating oil can be injected.

[0041] Furthermore, the driving shaft 4 is coaxially arranged with the planetary turntable 3. The flange sleeve 8 drives the planetary turntable 3 to rotate, the driving shaft 4 directly drives the fifth gear 11 to rotate, and the push plate shaft 13 rotates through the meshing transmission of the sixth gear 12 and the fifth gear 11. In order to ensure that the planetary turntable 3 drives the push plate 14 to run in a specific trajectory during the rotation process, the driving shaft 4 should be coaxial with the planetary turntable 3.

[0042] Furthermore, the diameters of the fifth gear 11 and the sixth gear 12 are equal, so that the rotation speeds of the driving shaft 4 and the push plate shaft 13 are the same. In order to ensure the smoothness of the transportation process of the cigarette pack 108, the push plate 14 must always be in a vertical state. Figure 1 As can be seen, the speed of the fifth gear 11 can be controlled by the motor 1, and its rotation direction should be consistent with that of the motor 1. The push plate 14 and the sixth gear 12 are connected to the planet via a shaft, and their speed is determined by the sixth gear and the planetary turntable 3. The fifth gear 11 and the sixth gear 12 are equal in size and rotate at the same speed relative to the planetary turntable 3, but in opposite directions. Therefore, the speed relationship between the fifth gear 11 and the motor 1 can be derived based on the speed of the fifth gear 11 and the sixth gear 12 relative to the planetary turntable 3. By automatically adjusting the speed of the fifth gear 11, the push plate 14 of the cigarette pack 108 is always in a vertical position, thereby achieving smooth sorting and transportation of the cigarette packs 108.

[0043] Furthermore, there are multiple push plate shafts 13, which are arranged in a circular array with the driving shaft 4 as the center within the planetary turntable 3. The multiple push plate shafts 13 and the push plates 14 can effectively improve the pushing rate of the cigarette packs 108.

[0044] Furthermore, the rotational connection between the push plate shaft 13 and the planetary turntable 3 is provided with a rolling bearing 16. This improves the output efficiency of the motor 1 and the rotation efficiency of the push plate shaft 13, and reduces the friction between the push plate shaft 13 and the planetary turntable 3.

[0045] Furthermore, a turntable cover 15 is provided on the side of the planetary turntable 3 near the push plate 14. A rolling bearing 16 is installed between the turntable cover 15 and the push plate shaft 13. The push plate 14 is detachably connected to the push plate shaft 13. The turntable cover 15 encloses the fifth gear 11 and the sixth gear 12 within the planetary turntable 3, ensuring the transmission relationship between the fifth gear 11 and the sixth gear 12. The push plate shaft 13 and the push plate 14 are detachably connected by bolts, facilitating later maintenance and disassembly and replacement.

[0046] Based on Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides an automatic sorting and conveying system for special-shaped cigarette packs based on a planetary gear system, including a table 101, an input channel 102, an output channel 103 and a conveying device 107 of any one of the above embodiments.

[0047] The input channel 102 and output channel 103 are arranged perpendicularly on the surface of the table 101. A conveyor device 107 is located at the junction of the input channel 102 and the output channel 103. This device is used to divert cigarette packets 108 from the input channel 102 and transport them to the output channel 103. This conveyor device 107 is installed on the table 101 behind the delivery outlet of the YB55 small box transparent paper packaging machine. In conjunction with the first speed detector 104, the second speed detector 105, and the cigarette packet arrival detector 106, it can automatically organize the cigarette packets 108. When the YB55 small box transparent paper packaging machine delivers the cigarette packets 108 wrapped in transparent paper to the table and into the guide rails, the first speed detector 104 and the second speed detector 105 adjust the delivery speed of the cigarette packets 108 based on the speed of the YB55 main unit. The cigarette packet arrival detector 106 determines whether a cigarette packet 108 is present and sends a detection signal to the motor 1, which in turn controls the movement of the push plate 14, achieving orderly organization and transportation of the cigarette packets 108.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
