Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cigarette production, and particularly relates to a cleaning device and method for a cigarette package conveying rotating tower and a cigarette supplementing station. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the cigarette production process, the conveying rotating tower part provided on the YB55 small box transparent paper packaging machine completes the task of removing unqualified cigarette packages and conveying qualified cigarette packages to the carton packaging machine. The transparent paper splicing joint and the transparent paper wrapped unqualified cigarette package are removed at the rotating tower box module removal station, and the removed cigarette package is supplemented at the cigarette supplementing station. An optical switch is installed above the cigarette supplementing station, and when no cigarette package is detected, the cylinder of the cigarette supplementing device at one side of the cigarette supplementing station acts to supplement the cigarette package.

[0003] Since the removal is achieved by opening the lower baffle and the cigarette package automatically falls by its own gravity, when the cigarette package is not square and the transparent paper is loose, the removal is not complete. The existing optical switch automatically supplements the cigarette package when detecting that the cigarette supplementing station is empty of cigarette packages, and when the cigarette package is loose, the detection may fail, and the cylinder continues to supplement the cigarette package, causing the cigarette package to be squeezed.

[0004] The rotating tower box module may have a cigarette supplementing and squeezing jamming fault, and the device may be stuck and disconnected. In actual production, the following problems exist: 1. The time for processing the squeezed cigarette is relatively long, and seven steps need to be taken, including opening the protective cover, processing the cylinder push plate, cleaning the channel unqualified cigarette, cleaning the squeezed cigarette package with tweezers, cleaning the fragments by turning the engine, supplementing the channel cigarette package, and closing the protective cover. It takes 20 minutes for a skilled operator to process, which affects the operating efficiency of the device. 2. The operator finds it inconvenient to process the squeezed cigarette, and when the squeezing is severe, the operator may need to use a screwdriver to break the cigarette package, or remove the fixed cover plate. When the squeezing is jammed, there is a risk of damaging the rotating tower box module, which increases the processing difficulty and increases the auxiliary material consumption and the labor intensity of the operator.
