Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plastic cigarette holder production, and in particular to a plastic cigarette holder tray loading device and a production system. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, there are many problems in the production process of plastic cigarette holders. As far as the production mold is concerned, the number of cavities is often small. This situation directly leads to limited production per unit time and cannot meet the requirements of large-scale and high-speed production. Moreover, in the entire production process, the key link of fully automatic online tray loading is not realized. This means that in the process from the product coming out of the production mold to the tray loading, manual intervention is required, or semi-automatic methods are used to complete it.

[0003] Due to the limitations of manual operation or semi-automatic loading, the products are easily contaminated. Dust, impurities and other pollutants in the production environment are easily attached to the plastic cigarette holders, affecting the quality of the products. At the same time, during the handling and loading process, due to the lack of effective automated protection mechanisms, products are prone to collision with each other, causing bruises. These bruises not only affect the appearance of the product, but in some cases, they may also damage the structural integrity of the product, causing the product to be unable to be used normally.

[0004] In addition, low production efficiency is the combined result of these problems. From the small number of mold cavities limiting production to the non-automation of the tray loading process affecting the overall production rhythm, the entire production process is time-consuming and far from meeting the market demand for high-speed production of plastic cigarette holders, which seriously restricts the production capacity and economic benefits of enterprises.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of at least one of the above technical problems, the present application provides a plastic cigarette holder tray loading device and a production system.

[0007] In a first aspect, a plastic cigarette holder tray loading device is provided, comprising:

[0008] The first variable distance device comprises a first variable distance loading mechanism and a first translation mechanism, wherein the first variable distance loading mechanism is arranged on the first translation mechanism, the first variable distance loading mechanism drives the material thereon to be arranged in a variable distance along a first direction, and the first translation mechanism drives the variable distance loading mechanism to move along the first direction;

[0009] The second pitch-changing device comprises a second pitch-changing mechanism and a first material-carrying mechanism, wherein the first material-carrying mechanism is arranged on the second pitch-changing mechanism, the second pitch-changing mechanism is located on one side of the first translation mechanism, and the second pitch-changing mechanism drives the first material-carrying mechanism to be arranged in a pitch-changing manner along a second direction;

[0010] The third pitch-changing device comprises a second translation mechanism, a third pitch-changing mechanism and a second material-carrying mechanism, wherein the second translation mechanism is located at one side of the second pitch-changing mechanism, the second translation mechanism drives the third pitch-changing mechanism to move along the second direction, the second material-carrying mechanism is arranged on the third pitch-changing mechanism, and the third pitch-changing mechanism drives the second material-carrying mechanism to be arranged in a pitch-changing manner along the second direction;

[0011] The transfer manipulator is located between the first variable-pitch device and the second variable-pitch device, and the transfer manipulator transfers the materials on the first variable-pitch loading mechanism to the second loading mechanism and the third loading mechanism respectively;

The second variable pitch mechanism in the second variable pitch device can drive the first loading mechanism to arrange the variable pitch along the second direction, so as to achieve precise control of the spacing of the material in the second direction. The third variable pitch mechanism in the third variable pitch device can also drive the second loading mechanism to arrange the variable pitch along the second direction, further ensuring that the arrangement spacing of the material in the second direction meets specific production requirements. This multi-directional, multi-link variable pitch arrangement setting can enable materials such as plastic cigarette holders to be accurately and orderly arranged before loading, laying the foundation for subsequent efficient and accurate loading.

It can automatically transfer the materials that have undergone preliminary variable pitch arrangement on the first variable pitch loading mechanism to the second loading mechanism and the third loading mechanism, respectively, realizing the automatic connection and transfer of materials between different variable pitch devices without manual intervention, greatly improving the efficiency of material transfer, and reducing the errors and delays that may be caused by manual operation. The tray loading robot arranged on the tray changing device can accurately and efficiently transfer the materials that have completed variable pitch arrangement on the second loading mechanism and the third loading mechanism to the tray, realizing the automatic and continuous operation of the entire process from material variable pitch arrangement to transfer to final tray loading.

[0042] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0043] This embodiment provides a plastic cigarette holder production system, including: an injection molding machine, a material taking robot and a plastic cigarette holder tray loading device.

[0044] Among them, an injection molding machine; a material taking robot is arranged on the injection molding machine; a plastic cigarette holder loading device is arranged on one side of the injection molding machine; the material taking robot can take out 64 plastic cigarette holders from the injection molding machine and transfer them to the first variable distance loading mechanism 110 of the plastic cigarette holder loading device.

[0045] When the injection molding machine completes the injection molding of the plastic cigarette holders, the injection molding machine opens the mold, and the material taking robot takes out 64 plastic cigarette holders from the injection molding machine and transfers them to the first variable distance loading mechanism 110 of the plastic cigarette holder loading device.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a plastic cigarette holder loading device, including: a first pitch changing device 100, a second pitch changing device 200, a third pitch changing device 300, a transfer robot 400, a tray changing device 500, and a tray loading robot 600.

[0047] Among them, the present device can drive the material to realize variable pitch arrangement along the first direction through the first variable pitch loading mechanism 110 in the first variable pitch device 100, and at the same time, the first translation mechanism 120 can drive the variable pitch loading mechanism to move along the first direction, and further cooperate with the variable pitch operation, so that the arrangement spacing of the material in the first direction can be accurately adjusted according to the predetermined requirements. The second variable pitch mechanism 210 in the second variable pitch device 200 can drive the first loading mechanism to realize variable pitch arrangement along the second direction, so as to realize the precise regulation of the spacing of the material in the second direction. The third variable pitch mechanism 320 in the third variable pitch device 300 can also drive the second loading mechanism 220 to realize variable pitch arrangement along the second direction, further ensuring that the arrangement spacing of the material in the second direction meets the specific production requirements. This multi-directional, multi-link variable pitch arrangement setting can realize accurate and orderly arrangement layout of materials such as plastic cigarette holders before loading, laying the foundation for subsequent efficient and accurate loading. The transfer manipulator 400 is arranged between the first variable pitch device 100 and the second variable pitch device 200. It can automatically transfer the materials on the first variable pitch loading mechanism 110 that have undergone preliminary variable pitch arrangement to the second loading mechanism 220 and the third loading mechanism 330, respectively, to achieve the automatic connection and transfer of materials between different variable pitch devices without manual intervention, greatly improving the efficiency of material transfer and reducing the errors and delays that may be caused by manual operation. The tray loading manipulator 600 arranged on the tray changing device 500 can accurately and efficiently transfer the materials that have completed variable pitch arrangement on the second loading mechanism 220 and the third loading mechanism 330 to the tray, realizing the automatic continuous operation of the entire process from material variable pitch arrangement to transfer to final tray loading. The entire process does not require frequent interruptions for manual tray changing or manual material transfer operations, which effectively improves the production efficiency and tray loading quality of plastic cigarette holder tray loading, and reduces production costs and labor intensity.

[0048] The specific structure of the plastic cigarette holder tray loading equipment is introduced below.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the first variable distance device 100 includes a first variable distance loading mechanism 110 and a first translation mechanism 120. The first variable distance loading mechanism 110 is arranged on the first translation mechanism 120. The first variable distance loading mechanism 110 drives the material thereon to be arranged in a variable distance along a first direction, and the first translation mechanism 120 drives the variable distance loading mechanism to move along the first direction.

[0050] The structure of the first translation mechanism 120 is not specifically limited. In the present embodiment, the first translation mechanism 120 is a structure in which a cylinder drives a slide.

[0051] When working, the first translation mechanism 120 drives the first variable-length loading mechanism 110 to move left, so that the first variable-length loading mechanism 110 is close to the injection molding machine, which is convenient for the material-taking robot to unload materials onto the first variable-length loading mechanism 110. The first translation mechanism 120 drives the first variable-length loading mechanism 110 to move right, so that the first variable-length loading mechanism 110 is close to the transfer robot 400, which is convenient for the transfer robot 400 to take materials from the first variable-length loading mechanism 110.

[0052] It is worth noting that the first direction corresponds to the X-axis of the spatial coordinate axis (i.e. the left-right direction), the second direction corresponds to the Y-axis of the spatial coordinate axis (i.e. the front-back direction), and the third direction corresponds to the Z-axis of the spatial coordinate axis (i.e. the up-down direction).

[0053] It is worth noting that the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110 has an open and a closed state. When the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110 is close to the injection molding machine, the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110 is in an open state, so that it corresponds to the material-taking robot and is convenient for unloading. When the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110 is close to the transfer robot 400, the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110 is in a closed state. This is because, when the transfer robot 400 grabs the product, if the product distribution is too dispersed, the stroke of each grabbing action of the transfer robot 400 will become longer, and it is necessary to accurately control the grabbing points at multiple different positions, which will increase the complexity and time cost of grabbing. And by retracting and changing the distance of the plastic cigarette holder through the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110, the material can be relatively concentrated and the interval between products can be reduced. In this way, the transfer robot 400 can perform the grasping operation in a relatively small area, reducing the travel and complexity of the grasping action, just like gathering scattered targets together, allowing the transfer robot 400 to complete the grasping task more easily and efficiently. In addition, the material layout after the retracted and variable distance is more compact, which is conducive to subsequent transportation, storage or other operations.

[0054] For example, the material taking robot takes out 64 injection molded cigarette holders from the injection molding machine each time and transfers them to the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110. At this time, the 64 injection molded cigarette holders are arranged in 4 rows and 16 columns. When the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110 is closed, the row spacing of the 64 injection molded cigarette holders in this batch is reduced.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the second distance changing device 200 includes a second distance changing mechanism 210 and a first loading mechanism. The first loading mechanism is arranged on the second distance changing mechanism 210. The second distance changing mechanism 210 is located on one side of the first translation mechanism 120. The second distance changing mechanism 210 drives the first loading mechanism to change the distance along the second direction.

[0056] The structure of the second pitch-changing mechanism 210 is not specifically limited. In the present embodiment, the second pitch-changing mechanism 210 is a linear motor.

[0057] When working, the second variable distance mechanism 210 controls the first loading mechanism to open, so that the first loading mechanism and the first variable distance loading mechanism 110 have the same partial column distance, and the transfer robot 400 grabs part of the injection molded cigarette holders from the first variable distance loading mechanism 110 and transfers them to the first loading mechanism. The second variable distance mechanism 210 controls the first loading mechanism to close, specifically controls the first loading mechanism to close backwards, so that it is convenient for the subsequent tray loading robot 600 to absorb.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the third distance changing device 300 includes a second translation mechanism 310, a third distance changing mechanism 320 and a second loading mechanism 220. The second translation mechanism 310 is located on one side of the second distance changing mechanism 210. The second translation mechanism 310 drives the third distance changing mechanism 320 to move along the second direction. The second loading mechanism 220 is arranged on the third distance changing mechanism 320. The third distance changing mechanism 320 drives the second loading mechanism 220 to change the distance along the second direction.

[0059] The structure of the second translation mechanism 310 is not specifically limited, and the structure of the third pitch-changing mechanism 320 is not specifically limited. In the present embodiment, the second translation mechanism 310 and the third pitch-changing mechanism 320 are both linear motors.

[0060] When working, the third variable distance mechanism 320 controls the second loading mechanism 220 to open, and the second translation mechanism 310 drives the third variable distance mechanism 320 to move forward, so that part of the third variable distance mechanism 320 is staggered with the second variable distance mechanism 210. This staggered part is defined as the loading area, and the transfer robot 400 grabs another part of the injection molded cigarette holder from the first variable distance loading mechanism 110 and transfers it to the second loading mechanism 220. After grabbing twice, the second translation mechanism 310 drives the third variable distance mechanism 320 to move backward, and the third variable distance mechanism 320 drives the second loading mechanism 220 to close, so as to facilitate the subsequent tray loading robot 600 to suck.

[0061] The transfer robot 400 is located between the first variable-length device 100 and the second variable-length device 200. The transfer robot 400 transfers the materials on the first variable-length loading mechanism 110 to the second loading mechanism 220 and the third loading mechanism 330 respectively.

[0062] The tray changing device 500 is located on one side of the third pitch changing device 300 and is used to provide empty trays and collect full trays;

[0063] The tray loading robot 600 is arranged on the tray changing device, and the tray loading robot 600 transfers the materials on the second loading mechanism 220 and the third loading mechanism 330 to the material tray.

[0064] The working process of this plastic cigarette holder tray loading equipment is:

[0065] In the first step, the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110 receives 64 plastic cigarette holders in an open state, and then the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110 changes to a closed state;

[0066] Step 2: The second loading mechanism 220 and the third loading mechanism 330 are in an open state, and a portion of the third loading mechanism 330 is staggered from the second loading mechanism 220;

[0067] Step 3: The transfer robot 400 absorbs 64 plastic cigarette holders, and transfers 48 plastic cigarette holders to the second loading mechanism 220, and transfers 16 plastic cigarette holders to the staggered part of the third loading mechanism 330;

[0068] Step 4: The second loading mechanism 220 changes to a folded state;

[0069] Step 5: The tray loading robot 600 takes out 48 plastic cigarette holders from the second loading mechanism 220 and transfers them to the tray changing device 500;

[0070] Step 6: Repeat Step 3 to Step 5 until the number of plastic cigarette holders on the third loading mechanism 330 is 48;

[0071] Step 7: When the number of plastic cigarette holders on the third loading mechanism 330 is 48, the tray loading robot 600 absorbs the 48 plastic cigarette holders on the third loading mechanism 330 and transfers them to the tray of the tray changing device 500;

[0072] Step 8. Repeat the above steps to put the plastic cigarette holder on the plate.

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first variable-distance loading mechanism 110 includes: a first cylinder 111, a telescopic connecting rod structure 112, a first loading block 113 and a first positioning fixture 114, the first loading block 113 has four and is slidably arranged on the first translation mechanism 120, the first cylinder 111 has two and is arranged in parallel on the first translation mechanism 120, the two first cylinders 111 are connected to the first loading block 113 through the telescopic connecting rod structure 112, the two first cylinders 111 drive multiple first loading blocks 113 to open or close along the first direction, and the first positioning fixture 114 has multiple and is arranged at intervals on the first loading block 113.

[0074] The two first cylinders 111 drive the plurality of first material loading blocks 113 to open or close along the first direction through the telescopic connecting rod structure 112, so as to flexibly adjust the distance between the material loading blocks.

[0075] There are four first material loading blocks 113 which are slidably disposed on the first translation mechanism 120 , and can carry multiple materials at the same time, thereby improving the material loading efficiency.

[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the second loading mechanism 220 includes: a second loading block 221 and a second positioning fixture 222, the second positioning fixture 222 has multiple and is spaced apart on the second loading block 221, the second loading block 221 has 12 and is movably disposed on the second variable distance mechanism 210, and the second variable distance mechanism 210 drives the second loading block 221 to open or close along the second direction.

[0077] There are 48 second positioning jigs 222 for positioning the plastic cigarette holders, wherein each second material loading block 221 has four second positioning jigs 222 .

[0078] In the second loading mechanism 220, the second loading block 221 loads the plastic cigarette holders in an open state, which is convenient for corresponding to the transfer robot 400. The second loading block 221 loads the plastic cigarette holders in a closed state, which is conducive to subsequent absorption by the tray loading robot 600 and convenient for orderly arrangement in the tray.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the third loading mechanism 330 includes: a third loading block 331 and a third positioning fixture 332, the third positioning fixture 332 has multiple and is spaced apart on the third loading block 331, the third loading block 331 has 12 and is movably disposed on the third variable distance mechanism 320, and the third variable distance mechanism 320 drives the third loading block 331 to open or close along the second direction.

[0080] There are 48 third positioning jigs 332 for positioning the plastic cigarette holders, wherein each third loading block 331 has four second positioning jigs 222 .

[0081] In the third loading mechanism 330, the third loading block 331 loads the plastic cigarette holders in an open state, which is convenient for corresponding to the transfer robot 400. The third loading block 331 loads the plastic cigarette holders in a closed state, which is conducive to subsequent absorption by the tray loading robot 600 and convenient for orderly arrangement in the tray.

[0082] In addition, the plastic cigarette holders in the third loading mechanism 330 are not taken by the tray loading robot 600 until they are full of 48 pieces, which is helpful to reduce the number of movement times of the tray loading robot 600 and improve the efficiency of the tray loading robot 600.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the transfer robot 400 includes: a biaxial moving mechanism 410 and a first suction fixture 420, the first suction fixture 420 is transmission-connected to the biaxial moving mechanism 410, the first suction fixture 420 has 64 suction ends, and the biaxial moving mechanism 410 drives the first suction fixture 420 to move along the second direction and the third direction.

[0084] The first suction fixture 420 has 64 suction ends, which enables the transfer robot 400 to suck a large number of plastic cigarette holders at one time.

[0085] The biaxial moving mechanism 410 drives the first suction fixture 420 to move along the second direction and the third direction. This biaxial moving design enables the transfer robot 400 to be flexibly positioned in a plane. Since the biaxial moving mechanism 410 can accurately control the position of the first suction fixture 420, combined with 64 suction ends, accurate material transfer can be achieved.

[0086] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the tray loading robot 600 includes: a third translation mechanism 610, a first lifting mechanism 620, a second lifting mechanism 630, a second suction jig 640 and a third suction jig 650, the second suction jig 640 is transmission-connected to the first lifting mechanism 620, the second suction jig 640 has 48 suction ends, the third suction jig 650 is transmission-connected to the second lifting mechanism 630, the third suction jig 650 has 48 suction ends, the first lifting mechanism 620 and the second lifting mechanism 630 are arranged in parallel on the third translation mechanism 610, the third translation mechanism 610 is located on the tray changing device 500, and the third translation mechanism 610 can drive the second suction jig 640 and the third suction jig 650 to move along the first direction.

[0087] The third translation mechanism 610 can drive the second suction jig 640 and the third suction jig 650 to move along the first direction. Combined with the lifting function of the first lifting mechanism 620 and the second lifting mechanism 630, the tray loading robot 600 can flexibly move the suction jig in three-dimensional space. In addition, the first lifting mechanism 620 controls the lifting and lowering of the second suction jig 640 to suck materials, and the second lifting mechanism 630 controls the lifting and lowering of the third suction jig 650 to suck materials, thereby realizing the transfer of the plastic cigarette holder.

[0088] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the disc changing device 500 includes a transfer channel 510, and the transfer channel 510 is arranged on one side of the third pitch changing device 300 along the second direction.
