Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tobacco packaging technology, and in particular to a device and method for adjusting the clamping cylinder of an intermittent motion conveying system for cigarette packs. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Currently, the cigarette pack input system of the hard strip and outer transparent paper packaging machine of the tobacco ultra-high speed packaging machine adopts a conveying system in which belt rollers drive the "two-five flat pack" cigarette pack group to move forward, and the intermittent movement of the cigarette pack group is controlled by a cylinder brake.

[0004] The system works by having cigarette packs, conveyed upstream, enter the system in overlapping pairs. During transport, sensors on both sides of the tracks monitor the packs' movement in real time. Pneumatic brakes, installed on one side of the two transport tracks, rhythmically clamp and release the packs, propelling them forward. These clamping and releasing actions are controlled by solenoid valves receiving pulse signals from the main electrical control program. Because the belt rollers are constantly in motion throughout the process, pneumatic brakes are necessary at the end of the pack transport. Ultimately, through the interaction of the belt roller drive, sensors, and electrical control program, the cigarette packs seamlessly connect with the intermittent movement of the subsequent packaging wheels.

[0005] However, in practice, the installed production line uses a pneumatic brake to control the transport of cigarette packs to the end. Precise distance control is crucial during this process; otherwise, damage to the cigarette packs and economic losses can occur. This is especially true when the production line is first installed, requiring precise adjustments to the spacing. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the technical problems mentioned above, this invention provides a device and method for adjusting the clamping cylinder of an intermittent motion conveying system for cigarette packs. This invention uses a longitudinal moving groove, a longitudinal moving marking groove, a transverse moving groove, a transverse moving marking groove, and components on each groove to achieve fixed marking of the cigarette pack group at a designated position, thereby achieving precise control of the distance and enabling the cigarette pack group to continue forward conveying after marking.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] The first aspect of the present invention provides an apparatus for adjusting the clamping cylinder of an intermittent motion conveying system for cigarette packs.

[0009] A device for adjusting the clamping cylinder of an intermittent motion conveying system for cigarette packs includes: a main operating plane for clamping cigarette packs; a plurality of supporting vertical plates are fixedly connected to the side of the main operating plane for clamping cigarette packs; one side surface of the supporting vertical plates is provided with parallel longitudinal movement grooves and longitudinal movement positioning grooves; a supporting horizontal plate is provided on the other side surface of the supporting vertical plates and located between two supporting vertical plates; the supporting horizontal plate is provided with parallel transverse movement grooves and transverse movement positioning grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the transverse moving groove is slidably connected to a clamp connecting rod through an opening slot. One end of the clamp connecting rod is slidably connected to a lifting center block. The side surface of the lifting center block is provided with a lifting fixing bolt. The other end of the clamp connecting rod is fixedly connected to a longitudinal transmission rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into one end of the longitudinal transmission rod relative to the clamp connecting rod, and a longitudinal fixing bolt is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft relative to the longitudinal transmission rod. A longitudinal fixing connecting rod is slidably inserted into the side surface of the longitudinal fixing bolt, and the longitudinal fixing bolt and the longitudinal fixing connecting rod rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, a transmission crossbar is fixedly connected to the side surface of the lifting center block, and a transverse fixing screw is fixedly inserted into one end of the transmission crossbar relative to the side surface of the lifting center block. The transverse fixing screw is fixed to the bearing cross plate by a transverse fixing nut and a transverse fixing bolt base plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamp connecting rod is fixedly connected to the connecting crossbar. The two ends of the connecting crossbar are respectively connected to the clamping arm via the clamping arm rotation shaft and to the clamping auxiliary arm via the auxiliary arm rotation shaft. The clamping arm has a clamping connection groove on one side surface opposite to the clamping arm rotation shaft. The clamping auxiliary arm has a clamping connection protrusion fixedly connected to one side surface opposite to the auxiliary arm rotation shaft. The side surface of the clamping protrusion has a connecting hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the side surface of the clamping arm is provided with a connecting rod rotating shaft and a plug-in through hole, and a clamp fixing plug is provided in the plug-in through hole. A plug connecting rod is connected between the connecting rod rotating shaft and the clamp fixing plug.

[0015] Furthermore, the longitudinal moving positioning slot is slidably connected to a longitudinal fixing screw through the opened slot. One end of the longitudinal fixing screw is connected to the longitudinal fixing bolt base. The other end of the longitudinal fixing screw relative to the longitudinal fixing bolt base (19) is rotatably connected to a longitudinal fastening nut. The longitudinal fixing screw is connected to the longitudinal fixing plug block through the plug hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the surface of the main operating plane for holding the cigarette pack has multiple airbag through holes, the surface of the main operating plane for holding the cigarette pack has multiple auxiliary connecting bolts, and the side surface of the main operating plane for holding the cigarette pack has two mounting back plates fixedly connected, the side surface of the mounting back plates has multiple mounting holes.

[0017] Furthermore, multiple contact clamps simulating cigarette packs are connected below the main operating plane for holding the cigarette packs. Multiple cigarette pack running tracks are inserted into the contact clamps simulating cigarette packs, and multiple cigarette pack simulation blocks are inserted into the cigarette pack running tracks.

[0018] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for adjusting a clamping cylinder in an intermittent motion conveying system for cigarette packs.

[0019] A method for adjusting a clamping cylinder in an intermittent motion conveying system for tobacco packages includes:

[0020] Assemble the device described in the first aspect for adjusting the clamping cylinder of the intermittent motion conveying system for tobacco packages;

[0021] Install the mounting backplate onto the equipment frame through the mounting holes;

[0022] Push the cigarette pack simulation block to the far left, and press the clamping cylinder and the baffle opposite the clamping cylinder against the cigarette pack simulation block and tighten them.

[0023] Push the cigarette pack simulation block to the far right, and press the baffles on both sides of the cigarette pack conveying channel against the cigarette pack simulation block and tighten them.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0025] This invention uses a longitudinal moving groove, a longitudinal moving marking groove, a transverse moving groove, a transverse moving marking groove, and components on each groove to adjust the positioning distance between the cigarette packs, thereby achieving precise control of the distance.

[0026] The longitudinal fixing screw on the longitudinal moving positioning groove described in this invention serves as the main sliding component. The relative rotation between the longitudinal fixing bolt base and the longitudinal fastening nut secures the longitudinal sliding of the screw, allowing the longitudinal fixing plug-in block on the insertion hole to engage with the longitudinal fixing plug-in rod. This fixes and records the height of the moving component on the longitudinal moving positioning groove, enabling the adjusted distance to be used as a positioning mark for installation personnel, saving time and effort.

[0027] This invention utilizes a connecting crossbar as a connecting component for the clamping device of the track clamping mechanism. The clamping arms on both sides of the clamp are connected by the rotation shafts of the clamping arm and the auxiliary arm. The rotatability of these shafts provides structural flexibility for adjusting the clamping arm and auxiliary arm, making it more advantageous for gripping the track. The hook shape of the clamping arm and auxiliary arm effectively grips the cylindrical track.

[0028] This invention utilizes a through-hole for connecting the required interlocking structures, and uses a connecting rod rotating shaft to connect the connecting rod, allowing for flexible and arbitrary position adjustment. The clamp fixing rod is aligned with the through-hole, and the clamp fixing rod is pushed forward to complete the connection. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0040] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0041] like Figure 7As shown, in the existing intermittent cigarette pack conveying system, the cigarette packs continuously output from the upstream machine are conveyed to the front end of two cigarette pack conveying channels via conveyor belts. When five packs of cigarettes accumulate at the front end of the conveying channel, four clamping cylinders clamp the cigarette packs on the channel to reduce the pressure of subsequent cigarette packs on the first five packs, making it easier for the first five packs to be pushed away by the push plate. The conveyor belts on the conveying channels wear out severely after about three months of use and need to be replaced. Each time the conveyor belt is replaced, most of the parts on the conveying channel need to be disassembled, including the clamping cylinders, corresponding plates, and baffles on both sides of the channel, before the conveyor belt can be removed and a new one installed. Then, the clamping cylinders, corresponding plates, and baffles on both sides of the channel need to be reinstalled on the conveying channel. Since the clamping cylinders, corresponding plates, and baffles on both sides of the channel are all adjustable, it is difficult to reinstall them back to their original positions. Therefore, it is necessary to repeatedly adjust the positions of these parts according to the cigarette pack conveying situation until the optimal position is achieved. This process takes 1-2 hours, seriously affecting production efficiency.

[0042] Therefore, this embodiment provides a device and method for adjusting the clamping cylinder of an intermittent motion conveying system for cigarette packs. The invention will be described in detail below through several embodiments:

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for adjusting the clamping cylinder of an intermittent motion conveying system for cigarette packs, including: a main operating plane 1 for clamping cigarette packs, a plurality of supporting vertical plates 2 fixedly connected to the side surface of the main operating plane 1 for clamping cigarette packs, a longitudinal moving groove 3 opened on one side surface of the supporting vertical plate 2, and a longitudinal moving positioning groove 4 opened on the same side surface of the supporting vertical plate 2, a supporting horizontal plate 5 fixedly connected to the other side surface of the supporting vertical plate 2, a transverse moving groove 6 opened on one side surface of the supporting horizontal plate 5, and a transverse moving positioning groove 7 opened on the same side surface of the supporting horizontal plate 5.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the operator uses a cigarette pack clamp to hold the main operating plane 1 and the supporting upright plate 2 as the supporting structure for adjusting the spacing device. The longitudinal moving groove 3 serves as the longitudinal sliding positioning component track, and the longitudinal moving positioning groove 4 serves as a parallel track. To fix the component moving on the longitudinal moving groove 3 in a certain position, the component connected to it needs to be fixed on the parallel longitudinal moving positioning groove 4. Similarly, the transverse moving groove 6 serves as the transverse sliding component track, and the transverse moving positioning groove 7 serves as a parallel track. Likewise, to fix the component moving on the transverse moving groove 6 in a certain position, the component connected to it needs to be fixed on the parallel transverse moving positioning groove 7.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, a clamp connecting rod 8 is slidably inserted into the transverse moving groove 6 through an opening. One end of the clamp connecting rod 8 is slidably inserted into a lifting center block 9, and a lifting fixing bolt 10 is provided on the side surface of the lifting center block 9. The other end of the clamp connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to a longitudinal transmission rod 11. The clamp connecting rod 8 serves as the main connecting component, with one end connecting to the clamp for gripping, and the other end inserted into the transverse moving groove 6 and sliding to adjust the track spacing. The lifting center block 9 prevents the clamp connecting rod 8 from falling down, and the tightening action of the lifting fixing bolt 10 limits the height of the clamp connecting rod 8. This allows for flexible adjustment of the track in four directions: up, down, left, and right. The longitudinal transmission rod 11 is mainly used to connect the longitudinal positioning device.

[0047] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a rotating shaft 12 is rotatably inserted into one end of the longitudinal transmission rod 11 relative to the side surface of the clamp connecting rod 8. A longitudinal fixing bolt 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 12 relative to the side surface of the longitudinal transmission rod 11. A longitudinal fixing connecting rod 14 is slidably inserted into the side surface of the longitudinal fixing bolt 13. The rotating shaft 12 is used to connect the longitudinal positioning device. The rotational property of the rotating shaft 12 facilitates the rotation of the longitudinal fixing bolt 13 and the longitudinal fixing connecting rod 14, allowing them to easily pass through the longitudinal moving groove 3. The longitudinal moving groove 3 is used to limit the longitudinal movement trajectory of the clamp connecting rod 8. The longitudinal fixing bolt 13 supports the longitudinal fixing connecting rod 14 and serves as a positioning insertion structure. It is used to fix the height of the longitudinal movement.

[0048] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a longitudinal fixing screw 18 is slidably inserted into the longitudinal moving positioning slot 4 through an opening. One end of the longitudinal fixing screw 18 is fixedly connected to a longitudinal fixing bolt base 19, and the other end of the longitudinal fixing screw 18 is rotatably inserted into a longitudinal fastening nut 15 relative to the longitudinal fixing bolt base 19. A insertion hole 16 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the longitudinal fixing screw 18, and a longitudinal fixing insertion block 17 is provided on the side surface of the insertion hole 16. The longitudinal fixing screw 18 on the longitudinal moving positioning slot 4 serves as the main sliding component. The relative rotation between the longitudinal fixing bolt base 19 and the longitudinal fastening nut 15 can fix the longitudinal sliding of the longitudinal fixing screw 18, thereby allowing the longitudinal fixing insertion block 17 on the insertion hole 16 to be inserted into the longitudinal fixing insertion rod 14. Thus, the height of the moving component on the longitudinal moving slot 3 is fixed and recorded on the longitudinal moving positioning slot 4, so that the adjusted distance can be used as a positioning mark by the corresponding structure for installation personnel to install, saving time and effort.

[0049] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, a transmission crossbar 20 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the lifting center block 9. A transverse fixing screw 21 is fixedly inserted into one end of the transmission crossbar 20 relative to the side surface of the lifting center block 9. A transverse fixing bolt base 23 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the transverse fixing screw 21. A transverse fixing nut 22 is rotatably inserted into one end of the transverse fixing screw 21 relative to the side surface of the transverse fixing bolt base 23. The connection between the transmission crossbar 20 and the lifting center block 9 drives the transverse fixing screw 21 to slide left and right. The rotation and tightening between the transverse fixing nut 22 and the transverse fixing bolt base 23 achieve a clamping effect, thereby fixing the transverse fixing screw 21 in a certain transverse position. This serves both to fix the transverse position of the clamp connecting rod 8 and to mark the transverse position.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, a connecting crossbar 24 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the clamp connecting rod 8. A clamping arm rotating shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the side surface of the connecting crossbar 24. An auxiliary arm rotating shaft 26 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting crossbar 24 relative to the clamping arm rotating shaft 25. A clamping arm 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping arm rotating shaft 25 relative to the connecting crossbar 24. An auxiliary clamping arm 28 is fixedly connected to one end of the auxiliary arm rotating shaft 26 relative to the connecting crossbar 24. The connecting crossbar 24 serves as the connecting component for the clamp of the track clamping device. The clamping arms on both sides of the clamp are connected by the clamping arm rotating shaft 25 and the auxiliary arm rotating shaft 26. The rotatability of the clamping arm rotating shaft 25 and the auxiliary arm rotating shaft 26 provides structural adjustment flexibility for the clamping of the clamping arms 27 and the auxiliary clamping arms 28, which is more conducive to clamping the track. The hook shape of the clamping arms 27 and the auxiliary clamping arms 28 can effectively clamp the cylindrical device of the track.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, the clamping arm 27 has a clamping connection groove 29 on one end of its side surface opposite the clamping arm rotation shaft 25, and the clamping auxiliary arm 28 has a clamping connection protrusion 30 fixedly connected to one end of its side surface opposite the auxiliary arm rotation shaft 26. The side surface of the clamping connection protrusion 30 has a connecting hole 31. The clamping connection groove 29 and the clamping connection protrusion 30 are inserted to connect the clamping arm 27 and the clamping auxiliary arm 28, and the connecting hole 31 provides a connection path for the inserted structure.

[0052] like Figure 6As shown, the side surface of the clamping arm 27 has an insertion through hole 32. A connecting rod rotating shaft 33 is rotatably inserted into the side surface of the clamping arm 27. A connecting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the connecting rod rotating shaft 33. A clamp fixing rod 35 is slidably inserted into one end of the connecting rod 34 relative to the side surface of the connecting rod rotating shaft 33. The insertion through hole 32 is used to insert the required interconnected structures. The connecting rod rotating shaft 33 connects the connecting rod 34, allowing for flexible and arbitrary position adjustment. The clamp fixing rod 35 is aligned with the insertion through hole 32, and the clamp fixing rod 35 is pushed forward to complete the insertion.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the side surface of the main operating plane 1 for cigarette pack clamping has multiple airbag through holes 36, and multiple auxiliary connecting bolts 37 are provided on the side surface of the main operating plane 1 for cigarette pack clamping. A mounting back plate 38 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the main operating plane 1 for cigarette pack clamping, and multiple mounting holes 39 are provided on the side surface of the mounting back plate 38. The airbag through holes 36 serve as the main through holes for cigarette pack clamping, helping to complete the clamping operation. The auxiliary connecting bolts 37 are used for auxiliary installation of the main operating plane 1 for cigarette pack clamping. The mounting back plate 38 serves as the back plate for mounting the entire device, and the mounting holes 39 are mainly for installation.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple contact clamps simulating cigarette packs 41 are connected to the side surface of the main operating plane 1 for cigarette pack clamping. Multiple cigarette pack running tracks 40 are inserted into the side surface of the contact clamps simulating cigarette packs 41, and multiple cigarette pack simulation blocks 42 are inserted into the side surface of the cigarette pack running tracks 40. The three structural instruments—the cigarette pack running tracks 40, the contact clamps simulating cigarette packs 41, and the cigarette pack simulation blocks 42—constitute the main structure for simulating cigarette pack transmission and are used for adjusting the spacing before installation.

[0055] The working principle of the device for adjusting the clamping cylinder of the intermittent motion conveying system of cigarette packs described in this invention is as follows: The operator uses the main operating plane 1 and the supporting vertical plate 2 of the cigarette pack clamp as the supporting structure for adjusting the spacing device. The longitudinal moving groove 3 serves as the longitudinal sliding positioning component track, and the longitudinal moving positioning groove 4 serves as a parallel track. In order to fix the component moving on the longitudinal moving groove 3 in a certain position, the component connected to it needs to be fixed on the parallel longitudinal moving positioning groove 4.

[0056] The transverse moving groove 6 serves as the track for the transversely sliding component, and the transverse moving positioning groove 7 acts as a parallel track. Similarly, to fix the component moving on the transverse moving groove 6 in a certain position, the component connected to it needs to be fixed on the parallel transverse moving positioning groove 7. The lifting center block 9 prevents the clamp connecting rod 8 from falling down, and the height of the clamp connecting rod 8 can be limited by the tightening action of the lifting fixing bolt 10. This allows for flexible adjustment of the track in four directions: up, down, left, and right. The longitudinal transmission rod 11 is mainly used to connect the longitudinal positioning device.

[0057] The rotating shaft 12 is used to connect the positioning device in the longitudinal direction. The rotational property of the rotating shaft 12 can facilitate the rotation of the longitudinal fixing bolt 13 and the longitudinal fixing connecting rod 14, so that they can easily pass through the longitudinal moving groove 3, and the longitudinal moving groove 3 can be used to limit the longitudinal movement trajectory of the clamp connecting rod 8.

[0058] The longitudinal fixing bolt 13 is used to support the longitudinal fixing plug rod 14, and the longitudinal fixing plug rod 14 is used as a positioning plug structure. It is used to fix the height of longitudinal movement.

[0059] The longitudinal fixing screw 18 on the longitudinal moving positioning groove 4 serves as the main sliding component. The relative rotation between the longitudinal fixing bolt base 19 and the longitudinal fastening nut 15 fixes the longitudinal sliding of the longitudinal fixing screw 18, thereby allowing the longitudinal fixing insertion block 17 on the insertion hole 16 to be inserted into the longitudinal fixing insertion rod 14. This fixes and records the height of the moving component on the longitudinal moving groove 3 on the longitudinal moving positioning groove 4, enabling the adjusted distance to be used as a positioning mark by the corresponding structure for installation personnel, saving time and effort.

[0060] The connection between the transmission crossbar 20 and the lifting center block 9 causes the transverse fixing screw 21 to slide left and right. The rotation and screwing between the transverse fixing nut 22 and the transverse fixing bolt base 23 achieve a clamping effect, thereby fixing the transverse fixing screw 21 in a certain transverse position. This not only fixes the transverse position of the clamp connecting rod 8, but also serves as a structural mark for positioning the transverse position.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] This embodiment provides a method for adjusting the clamping cylinder of an intermittent motion conveying system for tobacco packages, including:

[0063] First, assemble the device for adjusting the clamping cylinder of the intermittent motion conveying system for cigarette packs as described in Embodiment 1, and install the mounting back plate 38 onto the equipment frame through the mounting holes 39. Push the cigarette pack simulation block 42 to the leftmost end, and then place the clamping cylinder and its corresponding baffle against the cigarette pack simulation block 42 and tighten them. This adjusts the position of the clamping cylinder and the corresponding baffle. Next, push the cigarette pack simulation block 42 to the rightmost end, and then place the baffles on both sides of the cigarette pack conveying channel against the module and tighten them. This adjusts the position of the cigarette pack conveying channel.

[0064] This invention uses a tooling adjustment system for the cigarette pack conveying channel. By extending and retracting modules at both ends of the tooling, the clamping cylinder, corresponding plate, and baffles on both sides of the channel are adjusted to their normal working positions. This prevents the cigarette packs from getting stuck during conveying within the channel, allowing for one-time adjustment of the clamping cylinder, corresponding plate, and baffles on both sides of the channel. This shortens the adjustment time and improves work efficiency.

[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
