Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of logistics equipment technology, specifically to an automatic adjustment device for irregularly shaped smoke bins. Background Technology
[0002] The vertical sorting machine for irregularly shaped cigarettes typically involves manually placing irregularly shaped cigarettes into cigarette bins according to their model number. Then, according to a pre-set program, the irregularly shaped cigarettes in each bin are automatically placed onto a conveyor belt in a certain order by the sorting machine, thus achieving the sorting of irregularly shaped cigarettes.
[0003] For example, application number "201910196680.1" discloses an automatically adjustable vertical cigarette sorting machine, including a chassis and two or more vertical sorting channels arranged side by side within the chassis. Each vertical sorting channel includes a left baffle and a right baffle arranged in parallel. This invention automatically adjusts the spacing between the left and right baffles of the vertical sorting channels using an automatic spacing adjustment device, thereby meeting the technical requirements for sorting cigarettes of different sizes. Simultaneously, this invention uses a sprocket-driven reciprocating movement of a cigarette pusher to perform cigarette replenishment, replacing the manual cigarette replenishment method used in the prior art. This achieves automatic cigarette replenishment during sorting, reduces manual labor intensity, and improves work efficiency.
[0004] When the above-mentioned device adjusts the left and right baffles, the automatic spacing adjustment device still needs to be manually controlled. It requires manual observation and judgment of the spacing between the left and right baffles. However, manual judgment may result in the distance between the left and right baffles being too large or too small. Therefore, an automatic adjustment device for irregularly shaped smoke chambers has been invented. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic adjustment device for irregularly shaped smoke chambers to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic adjustment device for irregularly shaped smoke chambers, comprising:
[0007] frame;
[0008] A detection device, mounted on the frame, is used to detect the size of irregularly shaped smoke.
[0009] An adjustment component is mounted on the frame, and a partition is fixedly connected to the movable end of the adjustment component. The adjustment component is used to adjust the spacing between the partitions.
[0010] A conveying device, which is mounted on the frame;
[0011] Auxiliary components are mounted on the frame;
[0012] The detection device includes: a gravity detection plate, which is fixedly mounted on the frame.
[0013] Motor No. 1 is fixedly installed inside the frame.
[0014] Gear No. 1 is fixedly installed at the output end of motor No. 1.
[0015] The first rack has its outer wall slidably connected to the frame, and the teeth on the first rack mesh with the outer wall of the first gear. A movable frame is fixedly connected to the top of the first rack.
[0016] The contact plate is slidably connected to one side of the movable frame.
[0017] Spring No. 1 is fixedly installed on the contact plate, and one end of Spring No. 1 is fixed to one side of the movable frame;
[0018] The probe is fixedly mounted on the contact plate.
[0019] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes:
[0020] The movable component is fixedly mounted on the movable frame.
[0021] A telescopic assembly is mounted on the mobile frame, and a partition is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly.
[0022] Furthermore, the telescopic component includes:
[0023] The second telescopic component is fixedly installed on the movable component, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic component is fixed to one side of the partition.
[0024] Furthermore, the conveying device includes:
[0025] Telescopic component number one is fixedly installed inside the frame:
[0026] The movable plate is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the first telescopic component, and the outer wall of the movable plate is slidably connected to the frame.
[0027] The limiting component, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the movable plate;
[0028] A profile groove is formed inside the frame.
[0029] A rotating component is rotatably connected to a frame. The rotating component is located inside a contour groove. A torsion spring is installed at the rotatable connection between the rotating component and the frame. One side of the limiting component is in contact with the inner wall of the contour groove.
[0030] Furthermore, one end of the limiting member is fixedly connected to a cylinder, the outer wall of the cylinder being in contact with the inner wall of the contour groove.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0037] This automatic adjustment device for irregularly shaped cigarette compartments uses a detection device to place the cigarette box on a gravity detection plate. The detection device is activated to detect the width of the cigarette box. After determining the width, the output of motor number one rotates in the opposite direction, causing the contact plate and the cigarette box to move away. This activates the adjustment component, which adjusts the distance between the partitions. The device can automatically adjust the distance between the partitions according to the size of the cigarette box without requiring manual control of the cigarette compartment width, thus improving its convenience.
[0038] Meanwhile, through the setting of the conveying device, the control terminal controls the movement of the moving plate through the No. 1 telescopic component according to the instruction. The back and forth movement of the moving plate causes the limiting component to move along the contour groove. The use of the rotating component and the torsion spring ensures that the limiting component can only move in one direction inside the contour groove, thereby pushing the cigarette box to move. When moving back, it will not contact the cigarette box, thus completing the cigarette replenishment and reducing the intensity of manual labor. Attached Figure Description

[0052] Adjustment component 3 is installed on frame 1. The movable end of adjustment component 3 is fixedly connected to partition 301. Adjustment component 3 is used to adjust the spacing between partitions 301.
[0053] Conveying device 4 is mounted on frame 1;
[0054] Auxiliary component 5 is installed on frame 1;
[0055] The detection device 2 includes: a gravity detection plate 201, which is fixedly mounted on the frame 1.
[0056] Motor 202 is fixedly installed inside frame 1.
[0057] Gear 203 is fixedly installed at the output end of motor 202.
[0058] The first rack 204 is slidably connected to the frame 1. The tooth profile on the first rack 204 meshes with the outer wall of the first gear 203. The top of the first rack 204 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 208.
[0059] Contact plate 205, one side of contact plate 205 is slidably connected to one side of movable frame 208;
[0060] Spring 206 is fixedly installed on contact plate 205, and one end of spring 206 is fixed to one side of movable frame 208.
[0061] Probe 207 is fixedly mounted on contact plate 205.
[0062] Adjustment component 3 includes:
[0063] Movable component 302 is fixedly mounted on movable frame 208:
[0064] The telescopic assembly is installed on the mobile frame 208, and the telescopic end of the telescopic assembly is fixedly connected to the partition 301.
[0065] The telescopic components include:
[0066] The second telescopic component 303 is fixedly installed on the movable component 302, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic component 303 is fixed to one side of the partition 301.
[0067] Conveying device 4 includes:
[0068] Telescopic component 401 is fixedly installed inside frame 1.
[0069] The movable plate 402 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the first telescopic component 401, and the outer wall of the movable plate 402 is slidably connected to the frame 1.
[0070] The limiting member 403 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting member 403 and the movable plate 402.
[0071] The contour groove 404 is formed inside the frame 1;
[0072] Rotating component 405 is rotatably connected to frame 1. Rotating component 405 is located inside contour groove 404. Torsion spring is installed at the rotatable connection between rotating component 405 and frame 1. One side of limiting component 403 is in contact with the inner wall of contour groove 404.
[0073] One end of the limiting member 403 is fixedly connected to a cylinder, and the outer wall of the cylinder is in contact with the inner wall of the contour groove 404.
[0074] The frame 1 contains a control terminal, a detection device 2, and an adjustment component 3.
[0075] Auxiliary component 5 includes:
[0076] Motor No. 501 is fixedly mounted on frame 1;
[0077] Gear No. 502 is fixedly installed at the output end of motor No. 501.
[0078] The second rack 503 is fixedly installed on the moving part 302, and one side of the second rack 503 meshes with the outer wall of the second gear 502.
[0079] The detection device 2 will only activate when the gravity detection plate 201 detects gravity. The output of motor 202 will rotate, causing gear 203 to rotate, rack 204 to move, and moving frame 208 and contact plate 205 to move. Contact plate 205 will then contact the cigarette box. After the cigarette box is clamped by contact plate 205, rack 204 will continue to move, keeping contact plate 205 in place. Moving frame 208 will then move, compressing spring 206 and causing probe 207 to contact the moving frame 208. Only when the position... When the probes 207 of the cigarette box contact the moving frame 208, the first motor 202 stops running. At this time, the control terminal can determine the size information of the cigarette box. Due to the high transmission precision between the first gear 203 and the first rack 204, the control terminal can determine the distance the first rack 204 needs to move to achieve contact between the probes 207 and the moving frame 208. After determining the size of the cigarette box, the output end of the first motor 202 rotates in the opposite direction. Through transmission, a gap is left between the contact plate 205 and the cigarette box. The sliding distance between the contact plate 205 and the moving frame 208 is limited, thus avoiding excessive force on the probes 207. When the output end of the first motor 202 rotates, the second motor 501 rotates synchronously, and the second gear 502 rotates, causing the second rack 503 to move, thereby causing the moving part 302 to move. Through the action of the first motor 202 and the second motor 501, the moving part 302 moves, avoiding the force on a single motor.
[0080] The movable component 302 moves along with the movable frame 208. After the size of the cigarette box is determined, the telescopic end of the second telescopic component 303 moves, thereby moving the partition 301 to control the spacing between the partitions 301. The output end of the first motor 202 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the movable frame 208 to move. While the movable frame 208 moves, the telescopic end of the second telescopic component 303 moves to ensure that the position of the partition 301 remains unchanged. When the probes 207 on both sides separate from the movable frame 208, the first motor 202 and the second motor 501 stop running.
[0081] When probe 207 comes into contact with the cigarette box, probe 207 generates an electrical signal. The control terminal receives the electrical signal, which causes motor 202 to stop running and keeps the detection device 2 in its current position.
[0082] The telescopic end of the first telescopic component 401 moves back and forth, causing the moving plate 402 to also move back and forth. The moving plate 402 causes the limiting component 403 to move, and the cylinder moves along the contour groove 404. However, at this time, the rotating component 405 will not rotate due to angle limitations. The limiting component 403 is in contact with the cigarette box, and the movement of the moving plate 402 causes the limiting component 403 to push the cigarette box out. The cigarette box above the pushed-out cigarette box will fall onto the gravity detection plate 201 under the action of gravity. The telescopic end of the first telescopic component 401 retracts, and the moving plate 402 moves in the opposite direction. Due to the setting of the contour groove 404, the limiting component 403 moves back, and due to the contour groove 404, the cylinder moves along the contour groove 404. The notch design, under the influence of gravity, allows the cylinder to contact the top of the contour groove 404. The position of the limiting member 403 moves downward and will not contact the subsequent cigarette box. As the moving plate 402 continues to move, the cylinder continues to move along the contour groove 404, thereby contacting the rotating member 405 and applying force to the rotating member 405, causing the rotating member 405 to rotate. As a result, the cylinder moves to one end of the top of the contour groove 404. The above process is repeated to complete the feeding of the cigarette box. Due to the structural design of the moving plate 402, it will not affect the normal operation of the detection device 2. The sizes of the various irregular cigarettes are different, but none of them are smaller than the minimum size. Therefore, the conveying device 4 can realize the conveying of the cigarette box.
[0083] When the cigarette boxes in this area are used up, wait for a period of time. If the gravity detection plate 201 does not receive a gravity signal during this period, the first motor 202 will start, which will increase the distance between the probes 207 on both sides, making it easier to put in cigarette boxes of subsequent sizes. At the same time, the telescopic component will further increase the distance between the partitions 301, making it easier to put in other cigarette boxes later.
[0084] With the setting of detection device 2, the cigarette box is placed on gravity detection plate 201. Detection device 2 is activated to detect the width of the cigarette box. After the width of the cigarette box is determined, the output end of motor 202 rotates in the opposite direction, causing contact plate 205 to move away from the cigarette box. Adjustment component 3 is activated to adjust the distance between partitions 301. There is no need for manual control of the width of the cigarette compartment. The distance between partitions 301 can be automatically adjusted according to the size of the cigarette box, which improves the convenience of the device. With the setting of conveying device 4, the control terminal controls the movement of moving plate 402 through telescopic component 401 according to the instruction. The back and forth movement of moving plate 402 causes restrictor 403 to move along contour groove 404. The use of rotating component 405 and torsion spring makes restrictor 403 move only in one direction inside contour groove 404, thereby pushing the cigarette box to move. When moving back, it will not come into contact with the cigarette box, thus completing the cigarette replenishment and reducing the intensity of manual labor.
[0085] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended embodiments and their equivalents.
