Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigarette equipment technology, and more specifically, to a packing machine cigarette output and buffer device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process of the ZB48 packaging machine, there may be instances where the downstream carton sealing machine malfunctions, causing the cigarette conveying channel to stop operating. Under the current equipment conditions, the packaging machine can only be stopped manually, and production can only resume after the downstream equipment returns to normal. This not only causes long downtime and affects equipment efficiency, but also results in a certain amount of non-quality defects being discarded when the equipment is restarted after a period of downtime, leading to waste of auxiliary materials such as packaging paper and aluminum foil.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a packaging machine cigarette output and buffer device has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0028] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0029] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0030] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

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

[0032] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0033] This embodiment provides a cigarette pack output and buffer device for a packaging machine, particularly suitable for the ZB48 packaging machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the packaging machine's cigarette pack output and buffer device includes a cigarette pack conveying unit 1, a cigarette pack lifting device 2, a cigarette pack buffer unit 3, and a cigarette pack conveying platform 4. The cigarette pack conveying unit 1 is vertically connected to the cigarette pack conveying platform 4. The cigarette pack lifting device 2 is located above the connection between the cigarette pack conveying unit 1 and the cigarette pack conveying platform 4, and the cigarette pack buffer unit 3 is located above the cigarette pack conveying platform 4. The cigarette pack conveying unit 1 includes a slide rail 11 and a longitudinal conveyor belt 12. One end of the slide rail 11 is connected to the cigarette pack outlet, and the other end of the slide rail 11 is connected to one end of the longitudinal conveyor belt 12. The other end of the longitudinal conveyor belt 12 is vertically connected to the cigarette pack conveying platform 4. The cigarette pack conveying unit 1 also includes a first cigarette pusher plate 13. The first cigarette pusher plate 13 is installed outside the longitudinal conveyor belt 12 and faces the cigarette pack conveying platform 4, pushing the cigarette packs to the cigarette pack conveying platform 4. That is, after the cigarette packs are conveyed to the designated position, the first cigarette pusher plate 13 is activated to push the cigarette packs into the cigarette pack conveying platform 4.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the first cigarette pusher 13 is controlled by a cylinder. The cigarette conveying unit 1 further includes: the cigarette baffle 14; the cigarette baffle 14 is installed opposite the first cigarette pusher 13, and is closed when the first cigarette pusher 13 is not allowed to push cigarettes, and opens when cigarettes need to be pushed. The cigarette conveying unit 1 further includes: a photoelectric detector 15; the photoelectric detector 15 is installed on the longitudinal conveyor belt 12 and is used to detect the cigarette conveying status. The cigarette buffer unit 3 includes: a second cigarette pusher 31; the second cigarette pusher 31 is located above the cigarette lifting device 2. The cigarette buffer unit 3 has a large storage volume, and a conveyor belt 32 is installed on its bottom surface to complete the forward and backward conveying of the buffered cigarettes in the storage container. The cigarette lifting device 2 includes a lifting cylinder 21. The lifting cylinder 21 is located below the first pusher plate 13. When buffering is required, the lifting cylinder 21 lifts the cigarettes in position and delivers them to the cigarette buffer unit 3, where the second pusher plate 31 pushes the cigarettes into the buffer unit 3. The cigarette lifting device 2 also includes a receiving plate 22. The receiving plate 22 is located between the first pusher plate 13 and the second pusher plate 31. When the packaging machine stops and the buffered cigarettes need to be emptied, the receiving plate 22 catches the cigarettes from below, stabilizes them, and then is pulled out. The cigarettes then fall naturally to the conveying device by gravity.

[0035] In summary, the technical content disclosed in this invention allows for the buffering of cigarette packs when the cigarette conveying equipment malfunctions, and the re-injection of the buffered cigarette packs into the conveying platform and output to downstream equipment when the packaging machine malfunctions, thereby reducing the frequency of equipment downtime.

[0036] While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the examples are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
