Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigarette packaging technology, and more specifically to a bridge sleeve for a slim cigarette packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] The original ZB45 slim cigarette packaging machine had a fixed position for the bridge sleeve component on rollers 4 and 5, which could not be modified. Due to the thinness of slim cigarettes, when they were rotated counter-clockwise within the mold box of roller 4 to below the positioning mold frame, there was still a gap of about the thickness of a pack of cigarettes between them and the bridge sleeve of rollers 4 and 5. This meant they were not completely flush. When the top plate lifted the aluminum foil cigarette pack wrapped with inner frame paper at this position, there was a chance that the inner frame paper would not be completely perpendicular to the cigarette pack, causing it to open slightly and allowing the cigarette pack to pass through the positioning mold frame without the inner frame paper passing through. This was known as "flying inner frame paper." Furthermore, because the material was relatively easily worn 45# steel, the sleeve size could easily become larger, making effective folding impossible. The main problems can be summarized as follows:

[0003] ① The original ZB45 slim cigarette packaging machine has a design flaw in the bridge opening of rollers 4 and 5, which cannot meet the "thin" characteristic of slim cigarette products. When cigarette packs with inner frame paper are fed into roller 5, gaps exist, and the cigarette packs are not completely sealed. Furthermore, because the material is 45# steel, which is easily worn, the opening size tends to be larger, making effective folding impossible. The combination of these factors leads to the easy occurrence of missing or damaged inner frame paper.

[0004] ②The pre-folding angle of the bridge opening of the No. 4-5 rollers of the original ZB45 fine packaging machine is too small at 15°. The opening is easily worn, which leads to poor pre-folding effect of pressing the horizontal line on the long side of the small box.

[0005] ② Prolonged use of fly liner paper can cause wear and tear on the No. 4 wheel mold box or damage to the mold box due to pressure from residual cigarette packs, which in turn can damage the No. 5 wheel body, affecting equipment safety, threatening personal safety, and creating a safety risk.

[0006] ③ A large number of substandard cigarette packs are produced, resulting in significant labor costs and expenses for processing.

[0007] ④ Long-standing design flaws have led to increased maintenance costs and production time, and reduced equipment operating efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bridge sleeve for a fine packaging machine, in order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A bridge-type sleeve for a fine-sized packaging machine includes: a left side baffle, a right side baffle, a rear stop block, and a front stop block. The left side baffle and the right side baffle are respectively disposed on both sides of the rear stop block and the front stop block to form a frame that is open at the top and bottom and continuously closed. The left side baffle and the right side baffle are respectively provided with a left boss and a right boss at the bottom of the side near the front stop block. The bottom of the left boss and the right boss extends out of the front stop block.

[0011] In some embodiments, the left side baffle has an inclined chamfer near the top, the chamfer angle being 17°-20°.

[0012] In some embodiments, the right side baffle has an inclined chamfer near the top, the chamfer angle being 17°-20°.

[0013] In some embodiments, the length of the left-side boss is 15-20cm.

[0014] In some embodiments, the length of the right-side boss is 15-20cm.

[0015] In some embodiments, the left and right bosses are of equal height, and the left boss extends 5-10 mm beyond the front stop.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0017] 1. This application remedies the design flaws of the original equipment, ensuring that the cigarette pack with the inner frame paper is completely attached to it, preventing the inner frame paper from being missing or damaged during high-speed operation.

[0018] 2. This application increases the folding angle from the original 15° to 18°, making the intersection of the inner frame paper and the trademark paper smoother and the pre-folding effect better.

[0019] 3. This application can perfectly match the original machine's transverse conveyor channel plate, is easy to disassemble and install, uses 42CrMo steel that has been quenched for better wear resistance and longer service life, has low maintenance costs, is less likely to cause equipment damage, and at the same time reduces the safety risks to operators.

[0020] 4. This application is safe, reliable and maintenance-free, which greatly improves the operating efficiency of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The following will combine Figure 1 This application provides a detailed description of the bridge sleeve for a fine packaging machine according to its embodiments. It is important to note that the following embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and do not constitute a limitation thereof.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, a bridge sleeve for a fine packaging machine includes: a left side baffle 4, a right side baffle 2, a rear stop block 1, and a front stop block 3. The left side baffle and the right side baffle are respectively disposed on both sides of the rear stop block and the front stop block to form a frame that is open at the top and bottom and continuously closed. The left side baffle and the right side baffle are respectively provided with a left boss and a right boss at the bottom of the side near the front stop block. The bottom of the left boss and the right boss extends out of the front stop block.

[0030] In some embodiments, the left baffle has an inclined chamfer 8 near the top, the chamfer angle being 17°-20°. The right baffle also has an inclined chamfer near the top, the chamfer angle being 17°-20°.

[0031] The length of the left boss is 15-20cm. The length of the right boss is 15-20cm. The heights of the left and right bosses are equal, and the left boss extends 5-10mm beyond the front stop.

[0032] The bridge-type sleeve for slim cigarette packaging machines described in this application is mainly used between rollers 4 and 5 of the ZB45 slim cigarette packaging machine. Its main function is to press the cigarette pack with the inner frame paper into the label paper with the folded lid, forming a semi-finished cigarette pack. The cigarette pack forming sleeve is formed by the rear stop 1, the right side baffle 2, the front stop 3, and the left side baffle 4, which are fixed together by M4 screws 5 and M3 screws 6.

[0033] The right side baffle 2 and the left side baffle 4 have increased the height of the bottom front stop block 3, and added a right side boss and a left side boss to fill the gap generated during folding, thus making up for the design defects of the original equipment; at the same time, the folding angle has been increased from the original 15° to 17°-20°, preferably 18°, making the intersection of the inner frame paper and the label paper smoother; finally, the material has been changed from 45# steel to 42CrMo steel, and the new ZB45 fine packaging machine has a longer service life with the No. 4-5 wheel bridge sleeve.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
