Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cigarette pack conveying equipment, and in particular to an automatic cigarette pack cage-entering device and a cigarette pack cage-entering method. Background Art

[0002] Chinese Patent Publication No.: CN116443592B discloses a palletizer, including a conveyor line, a storage device, a first conveyor device, an output station, a transfer device for transferring and stacking cigarette cartons on the first conveyor device to the output station, and a first pushing device for moving cigarette cartons on the first conveyor device to the transfer device. In the existing palletizer structure of this scheme, the applicant found during use that after the palletizer transfers cigarette cartons into a cage, the labeling information is wrong or other situations require intercepting and retrieving the cigarette cartons in the cage car, and the cigarette pack unloading function cannot be realized. Summary of the invention

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention proposes an automatic cigarette pack cage entry device and a cage entry method thereof, which solves the technical problem that the existing transfer device cannot unload the cigarette packs when the labeling information is incorrect or other situations require intercepting and retrieving the cigarette cartons in the cage.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The first driving mechanism includes a first shell, slide rails arranged on both sides of the first shell, a guide block slidably arranged on the slide rails, a connecting rod arranged on one side of the guide block and passing through one side of the first shell, a hinge block arranged on the top of the first shell, a cam rotatably arranged on the hinge block, a third motor for driving the cam to rotate, a movable shaft arranged at a position away from the center of the cam, a third connecting rod hingedly arranged on the outside of the movable shaft, a first connecting rod hingedly arranged on a side of the guide block away from the connecting rod, a second connecting rod rotatably arranged between the first connecting rod and the third connecting rod, a second shell arranged in the middle of the first shell, a hinge rod passing through both sides of the second shell, a blocking block arranged in the middle of the hinge rod, and a spring arranged between the blocking block and the second shell, the blocking block is slidably arranged in the second shell, and the hinge rod is hinged to the second connecting rod on a side away from the second shell.

[0007] Furthermore, the second driving mechanism includes a first pulley arranged outside the first screw, a second pulley arranged outside the second screw, a transmission belt arranged between the first pulley and the second pulley, and a second motor for driving the first pulley to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, the first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel are helical gears.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping block is a flexible plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the support plate includes an outer plate and an inner plate slidably arranged on the inner side of the outer plate, and the outer plate and the inner plate are arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0011] Based on the same inventive concept, a method for automatically putting cigarette packs into a cage is also proposed, which is applied to the above-mentioned automatic cigarette pack into a cage device, and the following steps are performed:

[0012] In the first step, the x-axis driving platform and the y-axis driving platform drive the support plate and the z-axis driving platform to move above the stacking station, and then the z-axis driving platform drives the support plate down to the output position of the stacking station, and then the cigarette packages in the stacking station will be transferred to the support plate. After completion, the z-axis driving platform drives the support plate to leave the stacking station, and the x-axis driving platform and the y-axis driving platform drive the support plate to move into the cage car, and then the cigarette packages on the support plate are transferred to the cage car, the clamping mechanism clamps the cigarette packages, and the transverse driving platform drives the support plate to move away from the cage car, and the cigarette packages on the support plate will fall into the cage car;

[0013] In the second step, when an order is wrong or the package needs to be intercepted and the cigarette pack needs to be unloaded, the z-axis driving platform and the y-axis driving platform drive the first driving mechanism to move to the lateral side of the cigarette pack on the top of the cage car, and then the x-axis driving platform drives the first driving mechanism and one side of the connecting plate to move into the cage car first, and then the first driving mechanism drives the connecting plates on both sides to move toward the middle, and the connecting plates drive the clamping blocks to move toward the middle, and the clamping blocks clamp a layer of cigarette packs on the top of the cage car;

[0014] In the third step, the first motor then drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft drives the first transmission wheel to rotate. The first transmission wheel drives the third screw to rotate through the second transmission wheel, and the third screw drives the clamping block to move upward. The clamping block moves the clamped cigarette package upward, and then the transverse driving platform drives the support plate to move to the bottom of the clamping block. The support plate is inserted under the top layer of cigarette package. After completion, the clamping block moves downward to place the cigarette package on the support plate, and then the cigarette package is placed at the unloading station through the x-axis driving platform and the z-axis driving platform. Then the first driving mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to clamp the cigarette package, and then the support plate moves out from under the cigarette package.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] After the existing palletizers load cigarette packs into cage carts, they are unable to unload them. The device for automatically loading cigarette packs into cages is equipped with a clamping mechanism, in which the clamping block moves downward to place the cigarette packs on the support plate, and then the cigarette packs are placed at the unloading station through the x-axis drive platform and the z-axis drive platform. The first drive mechanism then drives the clamping mechanism to clamp the cigarette packs, and then the support plate moves out from under the cigarette packs. The stacked cigarette packs are clamped and moved upward by the clamping mechanism, and then the support plate is inserted under the upwardly moved cigarette packs to transfer the cigarette packs. This solves the technical problem that the existing transfer device cannot unload cigarette packs when the labeling information is incorrect or other situations require intercepting and retrieving the cigarette packs in the cage cart.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

A third screw rod 308 slidably connected to the clamp block 307, a rotating shaft 309 rotatably arranged at the top of the connecting plate 302, a first motor 310 for driving the rotating shaft 309 to rotate, a flat key 311 arranged on the rotating shaft 309, a first transmission wheel 312 rotatably arranged at the top of the moving block 305, a second transmission wheel 313 arranged on the side of the third screw rod 308 away from the clamp block 307, and a transverse driving platform 314 arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate 302 and used for driving the support plate 2 to move horizontally, the first transmission wheel 312 is connected to the rotating shaft 309, and the first transmission wheel 312 is connected to the second transmission wheel 313.

[0030] Through the setting of the clamping mechanism 3, when the cigarette packs in the stacking station 1 are stacked, the x-axis driving platform 6 and the y-axis driving platform 5 drive the support plate 2 and the z-axis driving platform 4 to move above the stacking station 1, and then the z-axis driving platform 4 drives the support plate 2 to descend to the output position of the stacking station 1, and then the cigarette packs in the stacking station 1 will be transferred to the support plate 2. After completion, the z-axis driving platform 4 drives the support plate 2 to leave the stacking station 1, and the x-axis driving platform 6 and the y-axis driving platform 5 drive the support plate 2 to move into the cage car 7, and then the cigarette packs on the support plate 2 are transferred to the cage car 7. The clamping mechanism 3 clamps the cigarette packs, and the transverse driving platform 314 drives the support plate 2 to move away from the cage car 7, and the cigarette packs on the support plate 2 will fall into the cage car 7.

[0031] When an order is wrong or a package needs to be intercepted and the cigarette packs need to be unloaded, the z-axis driving platform 4 and the y-axis driving platform 5 drive the first driving mechanism 301 to move to the lateral side of the cigarette pack on the top of the cage trolley 7, and then the x-axis driving platform 6 drives the first driving mechanism 301 and one side of the connecting plate 302 to move into the cage trolley 7 first, and then the first driving mechanism 301 drives the connecting plates 302 on both sides to move toward the middle, and the connecting plates 302 drive the clamping blocks 307 to move toward the middle, and the clamping blocks 307 clamp a layer of cigarette packs on the top of the cage trolley 7, and then the first motor 310 drives the rotating shaft 309 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 309 rotates to drive the first transmission wheel 312 to rotate The first transmission wheel 312 drives the third screw rod 308 to rotate through the second transmission wheel 313, and the third screw rod 308 drives the clamping block 307 to move upward, and the clamping block 307 moves the clamped cigarette package upward, and then the transverse driving platform 314 drives the support plate 2 to move to the bottom of the clamping block 307, and the support plate 2 is inserted under the top layer of cigarette package. After completion, the clamping block 307 moves downward to place the cigarette package on the support plate 2, and then the cigarette package is placed at the unloading station 8 through the x-axis driving platform 6 and the z-axis driving platform 4, and then the first driving mechanism 301 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the cigarette package, and then the support plate 2 moves out from under the cigarette package.

[0032] When only one column of cigarette packs needs to be taken out, the second driving mechanism 306 drives the moving block 305 to move horizontally to both sides of the designated column of cigarette packs, and then the first driving mechanism 301 drives the clamping block 307 to move toward the middle to clamp the bottom cigarette packs of the single column, and the clamping block 307 moves the designated column of cigarette packs upward, and then the transverse driving platform 314 drives the support plate 2 to move to the bottom of the cigarette packs, and then transfers to the unloading station 8, and then the first driving mechanism 301 drives the clamping block 307 to move to both sides, and the first motor 310 drives the clamping block 307 to move upward to the position of the second layer of cigarette packs, and then the first driving mechanism 301 drives the clamping block 307 to clamp the second layer of cigarette packs, and the support plate 2 transfers the bottom cigarette packs out to achieve the removal of the bottom cigarette packs of the column.

[0033] The second driving mechanism 306 includes a first pulley 3a arranged outside the first screw rod 303, a second pulley 3b arranged outside the second screw rod 304, a transmission belt 3c arranged between the first pulley 3a and the second pulley 3b, and a second motor 3d for driving the first pulley 3a to rotate.

[0034] When it is necessary to drive the first screw rod 303 and the second screw rod 304 to rotate at the same time, the second motor 3d drives the first pulley 3a to rotate, and the first pulley 3a causes the second pulley 3b to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 3c. The first screw rod 303 and the second screw rod 304 will rotate synchronously to drive the moving block 305 to move.

[0035] The first transmission wheel 312 and the second transmission wheel 313 are helical gears, and the first transmission wheel 312 and the second transmission wheel 313 are vertically distributed. The helical gears are convenient for mutual meshing and transmission. The clamping block 307 is a flexible plate, which is conducive to providing protection for the cigarette package.

[0036] The support plate 2 includes an outer plate 201 and an inner plate 202 slidably arranged on the inner side of the outer plate 201. The outer plate 201 and the inner plate 202 are arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate 302. When the first driving mechanism 301 drives the connecting plate 302 to move laterally on both sides, the outer plate 201 and the inner plate 202 will separate on both sides to avoid interference with the clamping block 307 and the first driving mechanism 301.

[0037] The first driving mechanism 301 includes a first housing 101, slide rails 102 disposed on both sides of the first housing 101, a guide block 103 slidably disposed on the slide rail 102, a connecting rod 104 disposed on one side of the guide block 103 and passing through one side of the first housing 101, a hinge block 105 disposed on the top of the first housing 101, a cam 106 rotatably disposed on the hinge block 105, a third motor 107 for driving the cam 106 to rotate, a movable shaft 108 disposed at a position away from the center of the cam 106, a third connecting rod 109 hingedly disposed on the outside of the movable shaft 108, and a hinge. A first connecting rod 110 connected to the guide block 103 on the side away from the connecting rod 104, a second connecting rod 111 rotatably arranged between the first connecting rod 110 and the third connecting rod 109, a second shell 112 arranged in the middle of the first shell 101, a hinge rod 113 passing through the lateral sides of the second shell 112, a blocking block 115 arranged in the middle of the hinge rod 113, and a spring 114 arranged between the blocking block 115 and the second shell 112, the blocking block 115 is slidably arranged in the second shell 112, and the hinge rod 113 is hinged to the second connecting rod 111 on the side away from the second shell 112.

[0038] When it is necessary to drive the two connecting plates 302 to move toward the middle, the third motor 107 drives the cam 106 to rotate, and the cam 106 drives the movable shaft 108 to rotate. Since the movable shaft 108 is arranged at a position away from the center of the cam 106, the movable shaft 108 drives the guide block 103 to move toward the middle through the third connecting rod 109, the second connecting rod 111 and the first connecting rod 110. The guide block 103 drives the connecting plate 302 to move toward the middle through the connecting rod 104 until it fits the surface of the cigarette package, so that the clamping block 307 at the bottom of the connecting plate 302 clamps the cigarette package. In order to improve the stacking efficiency, the existing stacking mixes special-shaped cigarettes and regular-sized cigarettes. Without setting up an additional conveyor line, the length and width of each layer of cigarette packs after palletizing are not uniform. When the clamp block 307 is over-clamped, the cigarette pack may be damaged. Through the setting of the hinge rod 113, when the clamp block 307 contacts and clamps the cigarette pack, the resistance of the guide block 103 increases, and the third connecting rod 109 pulls the second connecting rod 111 to increase the resistance. The second connecting rod 111 will move toward the hinge rod 113, and the hinge rod 113 will move to the right in the second shell 112, thereby preventing the guide block 103 from continuing to drive the clamp block 307 to move toward the middle and causing over-movement. The connecting plate 302 prevents over-movement while keeping the cigarette pack clamped, thereby preventing the cigarette pack packaging from being squeezed and deformed.

[0039] A method for automatically feeding cigarette packs into a cage is applied to the above-mentioned automatic cigarette pack feeding device, and comprises the following steps:

[0040] In the first step, the x-axis driving platform 6 and the y-axis driving platform 5 drive the support plate 2 and the z-axis driving platform 4 to move above the stacking station 1, and then the z-axis driving platform 4 drives the support plate 2 to descend to the output position of the stacking station 1, and then the cigarette packs in the stacking station 1 will be transferred to the support plate 2. After completion, the z-axis driving platform 4 drives the support plate 2 to leave the stacking station 1, and the x-axis driving platform 6 and the y-axis driving platform 5 drive the support plate 2 to move into the cage car 7, and then the cigarette packs on the support plate 2 are transferred to the cage car 7. The clamping mechanism 3 clamps the cigarette packs, and the transverse driving platform 314 drives the support plate 2 to move away from the cage car 7, and the cigarette packs on the support plate 2 will fall into the cage car 7;

[0041] In the second step, when an order is wrong or a package needs to be intercepted and the cigarette packs need to be unloaded, the z-axis driving platform 4 and the y-axis driving platform 5 drive the first driving mechanism 301 to move to the lateral side of the cigarette packs on the top of the cage trolley 7, and then the x-axis driving platform 6 drives the first driving mechanism 301 and one side of the connecting plate 302 to move into the cage trolley 7 first, and then the first driving mechanism 301 drives the connecting plates 302 on both sides to move toward the middle, and the connecting plates 302 drive the clamping blocks 307 to move toward the middle, and the clamping blocks 307 clamp a layer of cigarette packs on the top of the cage trolley 7;

[0042] In the third step, the first motor 310 drives the rotating shaft 309 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 309 drives the first transmission wheel 312 to rotate. The first transmission wheel 312 drives the third screw rod 308 to rotate through the second transmission wheel 313. The third screw rod 308 drives the clamping block 307 to move upward, and the clamping block 307 moves the clamped cigarette package upward. Then the transverse driving platform 314 drives the support plate 2 to move to the bottom of the clamping block 307, and the support plate 2 is inserted under the top layer of cigarette package. After completion, the clamping block 307 moves downward to place the cigarette package on the support plate 2, and then the cigarette package is placed at the unloading station 8 through the x-axis driving platform 6 and the z-axis driving platform 4, and then the first driving mechanism 301 drives the clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the cigarette package, and then the support plate 2 moves out from under the cigarette package.

[0043] The cage entry method can take out the cigarette packs that have been stacked and put into the cage car and need to be returned. Compared with the existing palletizer, it is more convenient for users to unload the packs.
