TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of box turning machine, in particular to a mobile box turning machine which is applied to tobacco primary processing technology. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the tobacco primary processing technology, the formula of cigarettes is mixed by different raw materials according to different proportions. With the increasingly fine requirement of tobacco primary processing, the blending process is an important process in the cigarette primary processing technology. The uniformity of blending and the accuracy of proportion directly affect the internal quality and style stability of cigarettes. The only index to measure the uniformity and stability of cut stem blending is blending accuracy. Improving blending accuracy is an important measure to ensure the internal quality of cigarettes.
[0003] However, the proportion of tobacco raw materials after blending is different. The tobacco with a larger proportion is automatically fed by an automatic unpacking line, while the tobacco with a smaller proportion is manually transported and poured for blending. Two people need to cooperate during the blending process. Since the position is relatively high, the pouring work needs to be completed by contacting the platform. The front conveying belt machine is always in operation. This feeding work has a high safety risk. The current equipment blending point is generally high. The weight of manually poured tobacco materials varies due to the grade and production situation. Blending needs to be done under the operation of the equipment. Therefore, to ensure the blending efficiency, reduce the labor intensity of operators and improve the safety operation coefficient, it is of great practical significance to design a mobile automatic paper box turning device suitable for the needs of cigarette factories.

In this process, the user does not need to stand at a high working position. When blending, the equipment can operate normally. The labor intensity of workers is low. The blending efficiency is also high. The working time and labor intensity are effectively saved. The safety of workers is also ensured.

[0028] As Figures 1-9As shown, a mobile box-flipping machine includes a base 1, a fixed frame 2, a carton 3, a vacuum suction cup 4, lifting blocks 5, a lifting mechanism 6, a flipping mechanism 7, and a control system 8. The fixed frame 2 is located above the base 1, and casters and adjustable legs are located below the base 1. A carton 3 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of the fixed frame 2. A vacuum suction cup 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed frame 2. Two symmetrically arranged lifting blocks 5 are located on one side of the fixed frame 2. The lifting mechanism 6 is used to simultaneously adjust the spatial height of the two lifting blocks 5. The flipping mechanism 7 is used to fix the two lifting blocks 5 to both sides of the fixed frame 2 and control the flipping of the fixed frame 2. The control system 8 is used to control the lifting mechanism 6 and the flipping mechanism 7.
[0029] In use, the user pushes the cardboard box 3 containing tobacco material into the fixed frame 2, controls the vacuum suction cup 4 to firmly adhere and fix the cardboard box 3 inside the fixed frame 2, and then controls the lifting block 5 to raise the fixed frame 2 through the lifting mechanism 6. After reaching the designated position, the fixed frame 2 is flipped by the flipping mechanism 7, thereby pouring the material into the belt conveyor or feeder. During this process, the user does not need to stand at a high position, and the equipment can operate normally during the remixing process. The labor intensity of the workers is low, and the remixing efficiency is also high, effectively saving working time and labor intensity, and ensuring the safety of the workers, fully demonstrating the practicality of the device.
[0030] The base 1 includes a row of rollers to facilitate the user to push the cardboard box 3 containing tobacco materials into the interior of the fixed frame 2.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixed frame 2 includes a base plate 201, a side plate 202, a guide plate 203, and a connecting plate.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 4As shown in Figure -5, the lifting mechanism 6 includes two columns 601 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. Two drive rods 602 rotatably pass through the inner walls of the two columns 601. Two sprockets 603 are fixedly sleeved on the surface of the drive rods 602.

[0035] like Figure 2 , 6 As shown, a fixing plate is installed on the side of the side plate 202 of the fixing frame 2. A clamping plate 9 and a clamping cylinder 10 are connected to the fixing plate. The clamping plate 9 is hinged to the fixing plate through multiple connecting strips.

The user realizes the control of the lifting servo motor 607 and the two overturning servo motors 701 by controlling the PLC controller 802, and the electric control box 803 is used for power supply of the lifting servo motor 607, the two overturning servo motors 701 and the PLC controller 802.
[0037] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 As shown, the surfaces of the two upright columns 601 are fixedly installed with flow plates 11, when the tobacco material is poured out from the carton 3, it will flow into the belt conveyor or the feeder along the flow plates 11, effectively ensuring the complete pouring of the material.
[0038] The mobile box overturning machine of the present application, in use, the user pushes the carton 3 containing tobacco material into the inside of the fixed frame 2, controls the vacuum chuck 4 to firmly adsorb and fix the carton in the inside of the fixed frame, then controls the lifting block 5 to drive the fixed frame to rise through the lifting mechanism 6, after reaching the specified position, controls the fixed frame to overturn through the overturning mechanism 7, thereby pouring the tobacco material into the belt conveyor or the feeder. In this process, the user does not need to stand on a high working position, and the equipment can operate normally during back mixing, the labor intensity of the worker is lower, the back mixing efficiency is higher, the working time and labor intensity are effectively saved, the safety of the workers is ensured, and the advantages of the mobile box overturning machine are fully embodied.
[0039] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present application, but are not limiting of the present application. It can be understood that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
