[0017] In order to solve the problem that the current tobacco packaging equipment lacks automatic filling equipment suitable for hard flip-top cartons, which limits the production efficiency and product packaging quality of tobacco manufacturing enterprises, the present application provides a flip-top carton turnover filling device, which provides an automatic filling solution for the tobacco packaging industry to efficiently, stably and independently complete the opening, maintaining and turnover actions of the flip-top carton. In order to further illustrate the structure of the present application, the detailed description is as follows in combination with the drawings:

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A flip-top carton turnover filling device, comprising a turnover main shaft 1, a turnover bracket 2, a follower suction cup 3, an opening swing shaft 4, an opening swing arm 5 and an opening suction cup 6.

[0019] The turnover main shaft is the main rotating component of the turret mechanism, which is a round rod shaft, and its axis forms the turnover axis of the carton turret mechanism. The turnover main shaft is installed at both ends of the turnover shaft seat 7, which is a rigid support component, and an axle hole is provided thereon. The shaft seat is installed on the turnover main shaft by fitting a bearing in the axle hole. The turnover main shaft is connected to a turnover drive motor 8 for driving the turnover main shaft to rotate around its axis. The turnover drive motor is installed on a bracket, which is a rigid support frame made of profiled materials. The output shaft of the turnover drive motor is connected to the shaft end of the turnover main shaft through a transmission belt and a matching transmission belt pulley. The turnover drive motor drives the turnover main shaft to rotate intermittently, each time by one angle, to move the carton carried by the carton turret mechanism between different positions in the circumferential direction.

[0020] The turnover bracket is used to support the strip box 15. At least two turnover brackets are evenly distributed on the circumference of the turnover main shaft. In this embodiment, four turnover brackets are evenly distributed on the circumference of the turnover main shaft. The turnover main shaft rotates by 90° around its own axis each time, so as to realize the conversion movement of the strip box carried by the turnover bracket between different workstations. The turnover bracket has a support table surface parallel to the turnover main shaft. The support table surface is provided with a strip bag suction cup 9. The side of the support table surface close to the turnover main shaft is provided with a side stop 10. When the turnover main shaft rotates to the turnover intermittent state, the support table surfaces of the turnover brackets on the left and right sides of the turnover main shaft are in a horizontal state, and one side faces upward and the other side faces downward. In this embodiment, two strip bag turnover discs 11 are installed on the turnover main shaft. The strip bag turnover disc is a disc-shaped part installed on the turnover main shaft through a key. The strip bag turnover disc rotates around its own axis with the turnover main shaft. The turnover bracket includes a radial support fixedly installed on the strip bag turnover disc and a support table plate fixedly installed on the radial support. In this embodiment, the radial support is a reverse Y-shaped frame body. The radial support is fixedly installed on the strip bag turnover disc through a bolt. A cross beam structure integrated with the radial support is arranged between the corresponding two radial supports installed on the two strip bag turnover discs. The support table plate is installed on the cross beam structure through a bolt. The plate surface of the support table plate is the support table surface. The support table surface of the support table plate is evenly provided with vacuum suction holes. The support table plate forms a strip bag suction cup. That is, the support table plate is a planar rectangular suction cup. The support table surface of the support table plate is densely provided with air suction holes, which are used to suck and fix the bottom surface of the strip box in contact with the support table surface.

[0021] The follow-up suction cup is used for fixing the cover plate of the carton in the state of being punched, and is used for maintaining the cover plate in the open state during the movement of the carton carried by the turnover bracket. The follow-up suction cup is selected from a commercially available vacuum suction cup. At least two follow-up suction cups are circumferentially arranged on the turnover main shaft, and the follow-up suction cup is one-to-one corresponding to the turnover bracket and is located on the inner side of the turnover bracket. Specifically, the number of follow-up suction cups should be consistent with the number of turnover brackets and be located on the inner side of the turnover bracket, so as to maintain the cover plate on each corresponding turnover bracket in the open state. In the embodiment, specifically, a positioning groove extending radially from the inner side to the outer side is arranged on the inner side of the outer edge of the carton turnover disc, and a follow-up base is fitted in the positioning groove. The follow-up base is clamped in the positioning groove, so as to be circumferentially limited by the two radially extending inner sides of the positioning groove. The radial position of the follow-up base is designed to be adjustable, that is, a threaded hole is arranged at the bottom of the positioning groove, a radial long hole is arranged on the follow-up base, and the follow-up base is fixed to the carton turnover disc by a screw penetrating through the radial long hole and combined with the threaded hole. A follow-up arm support is fitted on the follow-up base by a follow-up pin shaft, the follow-up arm support is provided with an arc-shaped long hole with the follow-up pin shaft as the center, and the follow-up arm support is fixed by a screw penetrating through the arc-shaped long hole and combined with the threaded hole of the follow-up base. The adjustable function of the follow-up suction cup in the radial direction of the carton turnover disc and the axial direction around the follow-up pin shaft is used to adjust the opening angle of the cover plate maintained in the open state by the follow-up suction cup. The included angle between the suction end surface of the follow-up suction cup and the disc surface of the carton suction disc is the opening angle of the cover plate maintained in the open state.

[0022] The cover opening swing shaft, the cover opening swing arm and the cover opening suction cup are components for implementing the opening action of the cover plate of the carton.

[0023] The cover opening swing shaft is arranged on the side of the turnover main shaft, the cover opening swing shaft is connected with the cover opening driving motor 12 and is driven by the cover opening driving motor to rotate around its own axis, and the axis of the cover opening swing shaft is parallel to the main shaft of the turnover main shaft. Specifically, the side of the turnover shaft seat is fixedly installed with a cover opening support 13 by bolts, the cover opening driving motor is fixedly installed on the cover opening support by screws, and the cover opening support serves as the carrier of the cover opening driving motor. The cover opening support is provided with a through hole with an axis parallel to the main axis of the turnover main shaft, and the cover opening driving motor penetrates through the through hole and is installed with the cover opening swing arm by a key.

[0024] The cover opening swing arm is installed on the cover opening swing shaft and is driven to swing by the cover opening swing shaft. Specifically, the cover opening swing arm includes a radial arm rod connected with the output shaft of the cover opening driving motor by a key, an axial swing rod extending along the output motor axis, and a terminal swing rod fixed to the end of the axial swing rod by a screw, the axis of the screw is parallel to the output shaft of the cover opening driving motor, and the terminal swing rod can change the fixed position by the screw as the shaft, so as to adjust the included angle between the terminal swing rod and the radial arm rod, and thus the angle of the disc surface of the cover opening suction cup installed on the outer end of the terminal swing rod.

[0025] The opening cover suction disc is located at the side of the turnover bracket. The opening cover suction disc is driven by the opening cover swing arm to move along a circular arc track at the side of the turnover bracket. The opening cover suction disc is driven by the opening cover driving motor to complete the circular arc movement at the side of the turnover bracket, which does not interfere with the body of the turnover bracket. The plane of the circular arc movement track of the opening cover suction disc is located at the side of the supporting table and is perpendicular to the supporting table. By adjusting the fixed angle of the end swing rod, it is ensured that the disc surface of the opening cover suction disc is parallel to the supporting table when the disc surface is moved to a position where the distance from the supporting table of the turnover bracket is equal to the thickness of the carton. Therefore, the disc surface of the opening cover suction disc can reliably suck the cover plate of the carton. The opening cover suction disc moves along the arc track and can move from the outside of the follow-up suction disc to the inside of the follow-up suction disc circular arc movement track, so that the opening cover suction disc can be handed over to the follow-up suction disc after opening the cover plate of the carton and can be retracted into the inside of the follow-up suction disc to prevent interference.

[0026] The lifting filling support plate 14 is an automatic lifting support plate for pushing the cigarette packet 16 from bottom to top into the open inverted cigarette box. The lifting filling support plate is arranged on one side of the turnover main shaft and is installed on the vertical linear module for driving the vertical linear movement. Specifically, when the supporting table of the turnover bracket rotates to the positive side of the turnover main shaft, the clamped carton opening is directed downward and opposite to the lifting filling support plate.

[0027] The device is an automatic device for moving the carton in the circumferential direction and realizing the conversion of the carton between different stations. The feeding position and the filling position of the carton are located on both sides of the carton turret mechanism. The empty carton is placed in the horizontal turnover bracket at the feeding position. The opening cover suction disc first works to suck the closed cover of the carton and open the cover through the action of the opening cover swing arm. After the cover is opened to a certain angle, the outer side surface of the cover is in contact with the follow-up suction disc and is sucked by the follow-up suction disc. The opening cover continues to swing and give way. After the above-mentioned action, the carton is in an open clamped state, and the turnover main shaft can drive it to turn to the other side of the filling station.

[0028] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and does not limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
