[0047] The present application provides an automatic shaping device for whole - pallet cigarette cases. The shaping component is driven to rotate by a rotating plate, and shaping is performed in directions parallel and perpendicular to the transportation direction of the whole - pallet cigarette cases through the shaping component and the second shaping part. The stacked structure of the cigarette cases after adjustment is more compact, reducing potential safety hazards. Moreover, the shaping in the present application is carried out during the transportation of the whole - pallet cigarette cases, without the need for the material to stop at a designated position, greatly improving the efficiency of shaping and material transportation.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, the automatic shaping device for whole - pallet cigarette cases provided by the present application includes a bracket, a first shaping part parallel to the material transportation direction, and a second shaping part perpendicular to the material transportation direction.

[0049] As Figure 1 and 2 shown, the bracket includes a base 11, a top plate 13, and two vertical support plates 12 symmetrically arranged between the base 11 and the top plate 13.

[0050] On the base 11, between the two vertical support plates 12, two fixing plates 14 are symmetrically arranged for fixing a conveying mechanism 49 for conveying materials (whole pallet cigarette pieces). As Figure 1 , 2 shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the conveying mechanism 49 includes a conveying motor 16, a chain 18, three conveying shafts 17 and three groups of sprockets 15. The conveying motor 16 is power-connected to the middle conveying shaft 17. A sprocket 15 is fixedly arranged at both ends of each conveying shaft. The chain 18 is in transmission connection with all the sprockets 15. The materials are positioned on the chain 18 and move along with the chain 8.

[0051] As Figure 1-4 shown, the first shaping part is connected to the top plate 13. The first shaping part includes two rotating plates 40 arranged symmetrically and shaping components arranged on each rotating plate 40; the shaping components include a pressing plate 41 parallel to the rotating plate 40 and a driving member of the pressing plate 41.

[0052] In the non-working state, the rotating plate 40 is parallel to the ground and higher than the upper end of the materials. In the working state, the rotating plate 40 is perpendicular to the ground, and the two pressing plates 41 move towards the materials in the direction parallel to the material conveying direction and press the materials.

[0053] Specifically, the first shaping part further includes a vertical base 27 arranged on the bottom surface of the top plate 13. The lower end of the vertical base 27 is higher than the upper end of the materials. Two rotating grooves 39 are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the vertical base 27. The first ends of the two rotating plates 40 are respectively rotatably arranged in the corresponding rotating grooves 39 through rotating shafts 51. A rotating driving component of the rotating plate 40 is arranged on the vertical base 27.

[0054] Specifically, a stretching cavity 34 extending along the material transportation direction is arranged in the middle of the vertical base 27. The rotating driving component includes two pulling ropes 38, guide wheels 46 symmetrically arranged at both ends of the vertical base 27, a first driving motor 45 arranged in the stretching cavity 34, and sliding components symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first driving motor 45. The sliding components are in transmission connection with the first driving motor 45. The first ends of the pulling ropes 38 slide in the stretching cavity along with the sliding components. After the pulling ropes 38 pass through the stretching cavity 34, they bypass the guide wheels 46, and the second ends of the pulling ropes 38 are fixed on the rotating plates 40.

[0055] The sliding components include a lead screw 36 and a ball slider 37. The first end of the lead screw 36 is in transmission connection with the output end of the first driving motor 45. The lead screw 36 extends along the material conveying direction; the ball slider 37 is in threaded connection with the corresponding lead screw 36, and the first end of the pulling rope 38 is fixed on the ball slider 37.

[0056] As an embodiment, a limiting magnet 48 is further provided in the rotation groove 39; the limiting magnet 48 is closer to the center of the vertical base 27 relative to the first end of the rotating plate 40. Wherein, the rotating plate 40 is a magnetic rotating plate, and the magnetic rotating plate 40 and the limiting magnet 48 attract each other. In the working state, the magnetic rotating plate 40 is attached to the limiting magnet 48.

[0057] The rotating plate 40 is provided with a through hole, and a cylinder fixing seat 43 is fixed on the first side ( Figure 3 shown as the upper side in the figure) of the rotating plate 40. A cylinder accommodating cavity is provided in the cylinder fixing seat 43. The pressing plate 41 is arranged on the second side ( Figure 3 shown as the lower side in the figure) of the rotating plate 40, and the first side and the second side are opposite to each other.

[0058] The driving member of the pressing plate includes a driving block 42 passing through the through hole and a first cylinder 47. The first cylinder 47 is fixed in the cylinder accommodating cavity. The output end of the first cylinder 47 is fixedly connected to the first end of the driving block 42, and the second end of the driving block 42 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 41.

[0059] Preferably, the first shaping part further includes a horizontal plate 44 fixed on the vertical base 27 and extending along the material transportation direction. In the non-working state, the cylinder fixing seat 43 abuts against the horizontal plate 44, and the horizontal plate 44 plays a role in limiting.

[0060] As Figure 2 、 5 shown in FIG. 6, the second shaping part includes two sliding plates 21 perpendicular to the ground and their driving components. The two sliding plates 21 are respectively arranged on the two vertical support plates 12. In the working state, the two sliding plates 21 move towards the material in the direction perpendicular to the material transportation direction and press the material.

[0061] Preferably, as Figure 5 shown in the figure, a plurality of vertical pressing rollers 26 are rotatably arranged on the side of the sliding plate 21 facing the material. The length of the pressing rollers 26 is the same as the overall height of the material. When the material is clamped, the pressing rollers 26 are in contact with the material. When there is relative movement between the material and the pressing rollers 26, the pressing rollers 26 can rotate self - rotatably to reduce the friction between the two and avoid damage or deformation of the material.

[0062] Preferably, buffer components are provided between the two ends of the pressing roller 26 and the sliding plate 21. Installation boxes 22 are respectively arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the sliding plate 21. A buffer cavity 23 is opened in the installation box 22. The first end of the sliding block 24 is slidably arranged in the buffer cavity 23. The extension of the sliding block 24 extends outside the installation box 22 and is fixedly connected to the end of the pressing roller 26. A push spring 25 is installed between the first end of the sliding block 24 and the inner wall of the buffer cavity 23. The buffer components buffer the impact force between the material and the second shaping part.

[0063] Preferably, a limiting mechanism 50 is further provided between the second shaping part and the vertical support plate 12. The limiting mechanism 50 includes a limiting part fixed on each of the two vertical support plates 12 and a positioning part on the sliding plate 21. The positioning part is arranged on the side of the sliding plate 21 away from the material and matches the limiting part, and the positioning part is slidably arranged on the limiting part. The second cylinder 19 is fixed on the vertical support plate 12 and is located at the center of the limiting part. The output end of the second cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 21. Under the guiding and limiting action of the limiting part 20, the movement of the sliding plate 21 is stable and the stroke is controllable.

[0064] On the basis of the above, preferably, a T-shaped chute is provided on the lower end surface of the top plate 13 to form a sliding cavity 28. The upper end of the vertical base 27 is T-shaped, and the T-shaped end is slidably arranged in the sliding cavity 28 of the top plate 13. The rod part of the vertical base 27 extends downward through the T-shaped chute. Driven by the synchronous drive assembly, the vertical base moves synchronously with the material.

[0065] Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, a power cavity 29 is provided inside the T-shaped end. A second driving motor 30 is fixedly installed in the power cavity 29. The left and right ends of the second driving motor 30 are respectively power-connected to optical shafts 31. The two optical shafts 31 extend outside the vertical base 27 and extend in the sliding cavity 28. Driving wheels 32 are fixedly installed at both ends of the optical shafts 31, and the driving wheels 32 are in the shape of discs. Driven by the second driving motor 30, the driving wheels 32 roll in the sliding cavity 28, thereby driving the vertical base 27 to slide in the material transportation direction.

[0066] The working principle of the present application is as follows:

[0067] In the initial state, the vertical base 27 is located upstream of the second shaping part and downstream of the loading point of the chain 18.

[0068] During use, first start the conveying motor 16. The conveying motor 16 drives the conveying shaft 17 to rotate. The conveying shaft 17 drives the chain 18 to rotate through the sprocket 15. The palletized cigarette stack is placed on the surface of the chain 18, and the palletized cigarette stack moves along with the chain 18.

[0069] When the palletized cigarette stack is conveyed to directly below the vertical base 27, start the second drive motor 30 to drive the optical axis 31 to rotate. The optical axis 31 drives the drive wheel 32 to roll in the sliding cavity 28, thereby driving the vertical base 27 to move along the material conveying direction, and the moving speeds of the vertical base 27 and the palletized cigarette stack are kept consistent, reaching a relatively stationary state. Then start the first drive motor 45. The first drive motor 45 drives the two lead screws 36 to rotate, thereby pushing the ball screw slider 37 to slide outward. The pulling force of the pulling rope 38 on the rotating plate 40 decreases. Under the action of gravity and the attraction of the limiting magnet 48, the rotating plate 40 drives the shaping component to rotate around the rotating shaft 51, and finally abuts against the limiting magnet 48. At this time, the rotating plate 40 and the pressing plate 41 are in a vertical state. Then start the two first cylinders 47. The first cylinders 47 push the drive block 42 to slide relative to the rotating plate 40, thereby pushing the pressing plate 41 to move towards the material, so as to squeeze the palletized cigarette stack in the material transportation direction and perform shaping in this direction.

[0070] When the palletized cigarette stack is conveyed to the second shaping part, start the two second cylinders 19 to push the sliding plate 21 to slide. The sliding plate 21 drives the pressing roller 26 to squeeze the palletized cigarette stack in the direction perpendicular to the material transportation direction. When the palletized cigarette moves between the two groups of pressing rollers 26, the pressing rollers 26 rotate self - sufficiently to allow the palletized cigarette stack to pass through. After the palletized cigarette stack reaches the designated position, the operator takes it away from the chain 18 to complete the entire shaping process.

[0071] Subsequently, the second cylinders 19 retract, driving the sliding plate 21 and the pressing roller 26 to return to their original positions. By reversing the first drive motor 45, the ball screw slider 37 tightens the pulling rope 38, thereby driving the rotating plate 40 to return to the horizontal state again. Then reverse - drive the second drive motor 30 to make the drive wheel 32 drive the vertical base 27 to move back to the upstream of the second shaping part, waiting for the next shaping cycle. The entire shaping process does not require manual adjustment, and the palletized cigarette stack does not need to be stationary. Shaping can be performed during the conveying process, improving work efficiency.
