Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette sorting, and relates to an energy-saving cigarette sorting system and its process. Background Art

[0002] Cigarettes are a type of tobacco product. The manufacturing method is to dry the tobacco and then cut it into filaments, and then roll it into a cylindrical strip with a length of about 120 mm and a diameter of 10 mm using paper. When smoking, one end is lit, and the smoke generated is sucked at the other end with the mouth. Among them, the common cigarettes on the market are usually 20 cigarettes in a box (there are also other numbers), and then 10 boxes in a carton. The term "carton of cigarettes" refers to a carton of cigarettes.

[0003] After being produced, cigarettes usually exist in the form of cartons of cigarettes. They are usually first concentrated and sent to the distribution center, and then the distribution center redistributes the cigarettes according to the needs of different places and then ships them. For example, if a certain place needs 5 cartons of variety A cigarettes, 4 cartons of variety B cigarettes, and 3 cartons of variety C cigarettes as a unit for shipping many pieces, then a lot of packages need to be prepared. Then, 5 cartons of variety A cigarettes, 4 cartons of variety B cigarettes, and 3 cartons of variety C cigarettes are respectively loaded into each package. Finally, all the packaged packages are sent out. Summary of the Invention

The first inclined plane 47 is located on the upstream side of the first plane 46, and an obtuse angle is formed between the first plane 46 and the first inclined plane 47. The length direction of the feeding belt 3 is parallel to the plane where the first plane 46 is located;

[0089] A plurality of second sliding grooves 48 in a dovetail shape are further formed in the positioning plate 39. The length direction of the second sliding grooves 48 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first sliding grooves 42, and the length direction of the second sliding grooves 48 is parallel to the length direction of the feeding belt 3. An active part 49 matching with the second sliding grooves 48 is movably arranged in the second sliding grooves 48. A second elastic member 50 in a continuously compressed state is provided between the downstream end of the active part 49 and the downstream end of the second sliding grooves 48. An unlocking plate 51 is horizontally provided at the top of the active part 49. Both sides of the unlocking plate 51 include a second plane 52 and a second inclined plane 53;

[0090] A horizontal unlocking rod 54 is horizontally provided at the top of the unlocking plate 51. Vertical unlocking rods 55 are vertically provided at the bottoms of both ends of the horizontal unlocking rod 54. The cross section of the vertical unlocking rods 55 is rectangular. A unlocking cylinder 56 is vertically and movably sleeved at the bottom of each vertical unlocking rod 55. The outer wall of the vertical unlocking rod 55 is movably attached to the inner wall of the unlocking cylinder 56. The minimum distances between all the unlocking cylinders 56 on the same side and the limiting plate 7 are different. An adjusting groove 57 is vertically formed in the side of the unlocking cylinder 56. An adjusting column 58 is horizontally and threadedly connected to the side of the vertical unlocking rod 55. The adjusting column 58 movably passes through the adjusting groove 57. A pressing disc 59 is provided at the outer end of the adjusting column 58;

[0091] The power mechanism includes a group of protrusions disposed on the feeding belt 3. The group of protrusions includes a number of driving protrusions 60. The minimum distances between all the driving protrusions 60 within the same group of protrusions and the limiting plate 7 are different. Each unlocking cylinder 56 can be driven by a driving protrusion 60 within the group of protrusions. When the bottom of the unlocking groove abuts against the adjusting column 58 and the pressing disc 59 fits against the outer wall of the unlocking cylinder 56, the unlocking cylinder 56 is higher than the driving protrusion 60. When the pressing disc 59 is in a separated state from the unlocking cylinder 56 and the top of the unlocking groove abuts against the adjusting column 58, the top of the driving protrusion 60 is higher than the bottom of the unlocking cylinder 56;

[0092] A number of separating rods 61 are horizontally disposed on the outer side of the limiting plate 7. Each separating rod 61 is located on the downstream side of the corresponding unlocking cylinder 56. A separating portion 62 is horizontally disposed on the upstream side of the free end of the separating rod 61. The top of the free end of the separating portion 62 is inclined. A separating opening 63 is horizontally formed through the unlocking cylinder 56. The top of the separating opening 63 is a separating inclined surface 64 which is inclined. The free end of the separating portion 62 can abut against the separating inclined surface 64 and raise the corresponding unlocking cylinder 56 to separate the unlocking cylinder 56 from the driving protrusion 60;

[0093] When the second inclined surface 53 fits against the first inclined surface 47 and the unlocking plate 51 is located on the upstream side of the corresponding first plane 46, the two receiving and placing members 40 are used to support the cigarette cartons. The length of the second elastic member 50 is S1. When the second plane 52 fits against the second plane 52, the cigarette cartons fall from the two receiving and placing members 40. The length of the second elastic member 50 is S2. When the unlocking cylinder 56 is separated from the driving protrusion 60, the length of the second elastic member 50 is S3, where S3 < S2 < S1.

[0094] There are several groups of the group of protrusions on both sides of the feeding belt 3. Two blocking rings 65 are further disposed on the feeding belt 3. All the driving protrusions 60 are located outside the blocking rings 65, and the limiting plates 7 are located between the two blocking rings 65;

[0095] A U-shaped first smoke baffle 66 is hinged on the support frame 1. There is a first smoke baffle 66 downstream of each pair of the limiting plates 7. The first smoke baffle 66 is inclined, and the inclination direction of the first smoke baffle 66 faces upstream. A first anti-rotation part 67 is arranged in the middle of the first smoke baffle 66, and third elastic members 68 in a continuously extended state are arranged at the corners. The bottom of the first anti-rotation part 67 abuts against the top of the support frame 1. The bottom of the third elastic member 68 is connected to the top of the support frame 1. A flat smoke part 69 made of a flexible material is arranged in the middle of the first smoke baffle 66. When in the standby state, the distance between the bottom of the flat smoke part 69 and the top of the feeding belt 3 is greater than the thickness of a cigarette carton and less than twice the thickness of a cigarette carton.

[0096] The present invention also provides a process for using an energy-saving cigarette carton feeding system as described in any one of the above, including the following steps:

[0097] S1, Place the cigarette cartons in the blanking cylinder 5.

[0098] S2, The cigarette pushing mechanism drives the bottom layer of cigarette cartons to pass through the through-port 6 and the mating port 10, and moves the cigarette cartons onto the cigarette feeding belt 9.

[0099] S3, The driving mechanism drives the cigarette feeding roller 8 to rotate, and sends the cigarette cartons to the cigarette discharging mechanism through the cigarette feeding belt 9 for standby.

[0100] S4, The cigarette discharging mechanism drops a set amount of cigarette cartons onto the feeding belt 3, and the sequentially distributed cigarette discharging mechanisms drop the cigarette cartons in sequence.

[0101] For the energy-saving cigarette carton feeding system and its process provided by the present invention, first, the worker places the cigarette cartons in the blanking cylinder 5 (it is necessary to replenish the cigarette cartons in real time according to the number of cigarette cartons in the blanking cylinder 5); then the cigarette pushing mechanism drives the bottom layer of cigarette cartons to pass through the through-port 6 and the mating port 10, and moves the cigarette cartons onto the cigarette feeding belt 9; the driving mechanism drives the cigarette feeding roller 8 to rotate, and sends the cigarette cartons to the cigarette discharging mechanism through the cigarette feeding belt 9 for standby; the cigarette discharging mechanism drops a set amount of cigarette cartons onto the feeding belt 3, and the sequentially distributed cigarette discharging mechanisms drop the cigarette cartons in sequence.

[0102] During actual operation, first, the worker places the carton containing cigarette cartons on the placement board 16. At the same time, the anti-falling plates 17 on both sides play a limiting role on both sides of the carton, and the end of the carton abuts against the open ends of the two guiding members 18. Preferably, the thickness of the guiding member 18 is equal to the thickness of the carton, and at this time, both ends of the carton are in an open state. Therefore, the worker can easily push the cigarette cartons from one end of the cigarette cartons and make the cigarette cartons move towards the termination part 20 until the cigarette cartons abut against the termination part 20. At this time, the cigarette cartons are separated from the carton and can be stacked on the cigarette cartons already in the blanking cylinder 5 and smoothly enter the blanking cylinder 5. At first, because the blanking cylinder 5 has a certain depth, at first, the worker can only manually place the cigarette cartons into the blanking cylinder 5 little by little, rather than by pushing the carton. Then, after there are a certain number of cigarette cartons in the blanking cylinder 5, using the above method to add cigarette cartons can better ensure the placement stability of the cigarette cartons.

[0103] At both ends of the cigarette cartons in the blanking cylinder 5 and on the outer side of the edge cigarette cartons, they are all attached to the inner wall of the blanking cylinder 5. Therefore, the cigarette cartons in each carton can just move into the blanking cylinder 5 (for example, there are five cigarette cartons in one layer in a conventional carton, so five cigarette cartons can be just placed in one layer in the blanking cylinder 5 at the same time), which is convenient for the placement of the cigarette cartons. During the process of loading the cigarette cartons, the guiding member 18 can not only play a limiting role on the side of the cigarette cartons, but also its end can abut against the carton to prevent the carton from moving during the process of pushing the cigarette cartons. Moreover, the cigarette cartons can be placed vertically downward through the guiding part 19 and the termination part 20 at the top of the blanking cylinder 5. At this time, the guiding part 19 and the termination part 20 can also play a guiding and limiting role on the cigarette cartons, improving the operation convenience.

[0104] After the cigarette cartons fall onto the support platform 4, the driving cylinder (such as a cylinder or an oil cylinder) or the electric push rod 15 drives the driving part 14 to move. The driving part 14 drives the driving plate 12 to move forward. The driving plate 12 pushes out the bottom layer of cigarette cartons and makes the cigarette cartons pass through the through port 6 and the mating port 10 and then move onto the cigarette conveying belt 9. At this time, the synchronous arm 23, the synchronous body 24, the rotating rod, the passive wheel 25, and the driving column 26 also move towards the support frame 1. The driving column 26 further inserts into the driving port 27. However, since the passive wheel 25 is separated from the transmission wheel 29, the cigarette conveying belt 9 is in a stationary state at this time. In this way, the cigarette cartons can be stably pushed onto the cigarette conveying belt 9 (if the cigarette cartons are pushed onto the cigarette conveying belt 9 on one side while the cigarette conveying belt 9 is rotating at the same time, it will cause the angle of the cigarette cartons to tilt).

[0105] When the driving plate 12 pushes the cigarettes in the bottom layer, the inner wall of the blanking cylinder 5 limits the upper cigarettes, and at the same time, the driving plate 12 also supports the upper cigarettes. Therefore, the upper cigarettes can remain stationary or slightly descend. When the driving plate 12 moves to the maximum distance away from the support frame 1, at this time, the driving plate 12 separates from the cigarettes, and the upper cigarettes fall under the action of gravity and wait to be pushed next time. At the same time, the passive wheel 25 is pressed tightly against the driving wheel 29 at this time; the motor 2 drives a support roller to rotate, and at the same time, the two first sprockets 21 also drive the transmission chain 22 to move, and the transmission chain 22 drives the second sprocket 31 to rotate. The second sprocket 31 drives the driving wheel 32 to rotate through the transmission rod 30. The driving wheel 32 drives the driving wheel 29 to rotate through the transmission belt 33, and the driving wheel 29 drives the passive wheel 25 to rotate (preferably made of materials with a large friction coefficient; or there are grooves on the driving wheel 29 and protrusions on the passive wheel 25 with sizes smaller than the grooves but can be inserted into the grooves, so that the two can be conveniently matched and stably transmitted). Then, the feeding roller 8 is driven to rotate through the driving column 26, and at this time, the cigarette feeding belt 9 can be driven to rotate downstream and convey the cigarettes. During the conveying process of the cigarettes, the limiting plate 7 limits the cigarettes, so that the cigarettes can be stably conveyed. When the cigarettes are sent to the end of the cigarette feeding belt 9, the cigarettes move downstream under the action of inertia and move into the opening of the receiving and placing member 40. In this embodiment, each positioning plate 39 is provided with five groups of receiving and placing members 40, so that five cigarettes can be placed each time; at the same time, since the outside of the cigarettes all have packaging bags and the friction is very small, even if five cigarettes have been placed on the five groups of receiving and placing members 40, at this time, the cigarettes on the cigarette feeding belt 9 cannot be driven to move even if they are driven by the cigarette feeding belt 9 (sliding friction), and almost do not act on the cigarettes on the cigarette feeding belt 9 (specifically, the cigarettes on the uppermost receiving and placing member 40 are only resisted by the cigarettes at the upstream and downstream ends of the cigarette feeding belt 9, but their positions remain stable); the advantage of the small friction of the cigarette packaging bags is that even if the cigarettes pushed by the driving plate 12 onto the cigarette feeding belt 9 are spaced (that is, for example, the previous batch of five cigarettes has moved to the end of the cigarette feeding belt 9, and the next batch of five cigarettes has just moved onto the cigarette feeding belt 9), but since there are always some cigarettes on the cigarette feeding belt 9, and these cigarettes maintain their positions when both the feeding belt 3 and the cigarette feeding belt 9 are running (that is, the cigarettes at the end of the cigarette feeding belt 9 are limited by the cigarettes on the upstream receiving and placing member 40), so the subsequent cigarettes on the cigarette feeding belt 9 can be driven and move to fit with the previous cigarettes, so that the receiving and placing member 40 can have good continuity when receiving the cigarettes, and the situation of cigarette breakage will not occur, and at the same time, the positions of the cigarettes on the receiving and placing member 40 are also ensured to be stable.

[0106] When all the cartons of cigarettes on the cigarette conveying belt 9 are conveyed to the fitting state, the electric push rod 15 slightly drives the driving part 14 to move a certain distance, and makes the driven wheel 25 and the driving wheel 29 in a separated state, that is, the cigarette conveying belt 9 is in a stationary state at this time, so that when the subsequent cartons of cigarettes fall, they can be not affected by the cartons of cigarettes on the cigarette conveying belt 9.

[0107] If five cartons of cigarettes need to fall at a certain position at the same time, then all the pressing discs 59 at this position are in a separated state from the unlocking cylinder 56. In this way, the unlocking cylinder 56 can move downward under the action of gravity, and make the bottom of the unlocking cylinder 56 higher than the top of the driving protrusion 60. Then when the driving protrusion 60 moves to the position of the unlocking cylinder 56, the driving protrusion 60 abuts against the upstream end of the unlocking cylinder 56, and both unlocking cylinders 56 on both sides are driven by the driving protrusion 60, so as to drive the longitudinal unlocking rod 55, the transverse unlocking rod 54 and the unlocking plate 51 to move downstream (the five unlocking plates 51 are respectively acted on by the driving protrusion 60 and move downstream at the same time). Before the unlocking plate 51 moves, at this time, the unlocking plate 51 is under the elastic force of the second elastic member 50, so that the moving part 49 abuts against the upstream end of the second chute 48, and the second inclined surface 53 is attached to the first inclined surface 47, and the distance between the two opposite receiving and placing members 40 is in the minimum state, and supports the cartons of cigarettes at the corresponding position. When the unlocking plate 51 moves, the interaction between the second inclined surface 53 and the first inclined surface 47 can drive the receiving and placing member 40 outward, and at a certain node, the cartons of cigarettes fall from the receiving and placing member 40; then the driving protrusion 60 continues to drive the unlocking cylinder 56 to move until the separating part 62 passes through the separating opening 63, and makes the end of the separating part 62 abut against the lower side of the separating inclined surface 64. Then the unlocking cylinder 56 rises under the action of the separating part 62 until the unlocking cylinder 56 is higher than the driving protrusion 60. At this time, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 44, the moving part 49 and the unlocking plate 51 are reset. At the same time, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 44, the receiving and placing member 40 is reset and waits for the next use. The cigarette conveying belt 9 remains stationary during the cigarette dropping process, and the cigarette conveying belt 9 continues to rotate only after the cigarette dropping is completed, and conveys the cartons of cigarettes to the receiving and placing member 40. If there are still cartons of cigarettes on the upstream receiving and placing member 40, the cartons of cigarettes will also move under the drive of the new cartons of cigarettes sent down on the cigarette conveying belt 9 until the cartons of cigarettes at the downstream end abut against the end plate 41. At this time, five cartons of cigarettes are placed on the five pairs of receiving and placing members 40, and the width of the cartons of cigarettes is equal to (or very close to) the width of the receiving and placing member 40. Therefore, when the receiving and placing member 40 moves outward, the corresponding cartons of cigarettes can fall fully guaranteed.

[0108] If only three cigarette packs need to fall at a certain support platform 4, then at this time, the two pairs of unlocking cylinders 56 upstream need to be moved upward until the bottom of the adjustment slot 57 abuts against the bottom of the adjustment column 58, and then the pressing disc 59 is tightened to fix the position of the unlocking cylinder 56 through the pressing disc 59. At this time, the raised unlocking cylinder 56 is higher than the driving protrusion 60, so that only the three pairs of unlocking cylinders 56 downstream can be actuated to make the cigarette packs fall (at this time, the two cigarette packs upstream will be driven by the cigarette packs on the cigarette feeding belt 9 to move downstream after the next start of the cigarette feeding belt 9). The distances between the driving protrusions 60 and the limiting plate 7 in the same protrusion group are different, and at the same time, the distances between the unlocking cylinders 56 and the limiting plate 7 at the same working station are also different (the lengths of the separating rods 61 are also different), so the driving protrusions 60 and the unlocking cylinders 56 in the same protrusion group are in one-to-one correspondence.

[0109] When the cigarette packs move on the feeding belt 3, they are located between two blocking rings 65, so that the cigarette packs can be well prevented from acting on the unlocking cylinders 56. Moreover, after the cigarette packs at the downstream station on the feeding belt 3 fall on the tops of the cigarette packs at the upstream station and move forward with the cigarette packs, the upper cigarette packs will be affected by the flatting member 69 and thus fall onto the feeding belt 3 from the upper cigarette packs. In this way, the cigarette packs can move normally, ensuring the smooth forward transportation of the cigarette packs, and at the same time, the requirement for the height difference between the feeding belt 3 and the cigarette feeding belt 9 is relatively low (it can prevent the cigarette packs from rebounding to other places after the height difference is too high). Since the flatting member 69 is flexible and the third elastic member 68 enables the first cigarette blocking rack 66 to swing to a certain extent, if there are more upper cigarette packs, the flatting member 69 undergoes elastic deformation or active deformation (flatting by gravity), and after the third elastic member 68 extends to a certain extent, the upper cigarette packs can fall smoothly, preventing the upper cigarette packs from being subjected to a large impact and ensuring the transportation stability of the cigarette packs.

[0110] On both sides of the feeding belt 3, there are several groups of protrusion groups symmetrically, and each protrusion group can drop a corresponding number of cigarette cartons at a positioning plate 39. Therefore, during the subsequent sorting (i.e., material distribution) process of the cigarette cartons, when each protrusion group moves to the end of the feeding belt 3, it can drop the specified number and specified combination of cigarette cartons. At the same time, it should also be noted that when the equipment is just started, the first part of the cigarette cartons may be incomplete. For example, if cigarettes of three varieties A, B, and C are required, and A, B, and C are also distributed in sequence upstream and downstream, then at the initial stage of equipment startup, there may only be cigarettes of variety C and cigarette combinations of BC. At this time, it is necessary to manually take out such incomplete cigarette combinations and put them back into the corresponding blanking cylinder 5 until a complete cigarette combination is sent out on the feeding belt 3. At the same time, it is preferably that there is a frame body at the end of the feeding belt 3 that can swing reciprocally left and right (implemented by a swing motor 2). There are two (or other quantities) receiving frames on the frame body, and each receiving frame can place a receiving box. In this way, every time the receiving box swings to a corresponding angle, it contains the required cigarette cartons, and the worker only needs to take them out and pack them.

[0111] In this application, the power of the cigarette feeding belt 9, the power of the feeding belt 3, and the power for dropping the cigarettes from the receiving and placing part 40 all come from the motor 2, which makes it more energy-efficient and the equipment cost investment lower. Moreover, this application can drop several cigarette cartons at all workstations simultaneously (multiple groups of protrusion groups act on the corresponding unlocking cylinders 56 at the same time). Compared with only being able to drop one cigarette carton each time after being driven, it also has better energy efficiency and the efficiency has been greatly improved. At the same time, it should also be understood that if the number of cigarettes of a certain variety dropped each time is more than five, then cigarettes of this variety can be placed on different support platforms 4 so that the sum is equal to the required quantity of this variety. However, if not many varieties of cigarettes are needed, the unlocking cylinders 56 at one or several workstations can be raised to the highest, and at this time, the passive wheel 25 and the transmission wheel 29 are in a separated state to prevent idling.

[0112] Embodiment 2

[0113] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that, as Figures 18 to 20 shown, there is one group of the protrusion groups on both sides of the feeding belt 3. A U-shaped second cigarette blocking frame 70 is hingedly arranged on the support frame 1. The second cigarette blocking frame 70 is located downstream of each pair of the limiting plates 7. The second cigarette blocking frame 70 is inclined, and the inclination direction of the second cigarette blocking frame 70 faces upstream. A second anti-rotation part 71 is arranged in the middle of the second cigarette blocking frame 70, and fourth elastic members 72 in a continuously extended state are arranged at the corners. The bottom of the second anti-rotation part 71 abuts against the top of the support frame 1, and the bottom of the fourth elastic member 72 is connected to the top of the support frame 1;

[0114] A U-shaped unlocking frame 73 is further arranged between the two ends of the second smoke baffle 70. The unlocking frame 73 and the second smoke baffle 70 form a rectangle, and the feeding belt 3 passes through the rectangle formed by the unlocking frame 73 and the second smoke baffle 70. An integral rod 74 is horizontally arranged between all the unlocking frames 73. An unlocking seat 75 is further arranged on the feeding belt 3. When in the standby state, the distance between the bottom of the middle part of the second smoke baffle 70 and the top of the feeding belt 3 is less than the thickness of a carton of cigarettes. The unlocking seat 75 movably passes through the lower side of the middle part of the second smoke baffle 70. When the unlocking seat 75 moves to the lower side of the feeding belt 3, the unlocking seat 75 drives the integral rod 74 to move downward until the bottom of the unlocking seat 75 movably fits against the top of the integral rod 74. The middle parts of all the second smoke baffles 70 swing downstream, and the middle parts of the second smoke baffles 70 are higher than the top of the cartons of cigarettes.

[0115] There are only two convex groups on the entire feeding belt 3, and the two convex groups are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the feeding belt 3. When a convex group moves to a certain positioning plate 39, a set amount of cartons of cigarettes can be placed, and the cartons of cigarettes move forward with the feeding belt 3. However, at this time, due to the action of the second smoke baffle 70, the cartons of cigarettes cannot continue to move forward. When the convex group moves to the downstream end of the feeding belt 3, there are cartons of cigarettes with set quantity and variety at all the second smoke baffles 70. Then when the convex group moves to the lower side of the feeding belt 3, at this time the unlocking seat 75 also moves to the lower side of the feeding belt 3. The unlocking seat 75 acts on the downstream end of the integral rod 74 and drives the integral rod 74 to move downward (swing). At the same time, the second smoke baffle 70 swings upward, so that the cartons of cigarettes can pass through the second smoke baffle 70. After that, the bottom of the unlocking seat 75 movably fits against the top of the integral rod 74. In this way, all the cartons of cigarettes can move normally downstream and until they fall off the feeding belt 3. When both the unlocking seat 75 and the convex group pass over the integral rod 74, under the elastic force of the fourth elastic member 72, the second smoke baffle 70 is reset.

[0116] Since the cartons of cigarettes will be first limited by the second smoke baffle 70 after falling, it also avoids the cartons of cigarettes continuing to move downward and acting on the downstream unlocking cylinder 56. At the same time, at this time, the height difference between the cigarette delivery belt 9 and the feeding belt 3 only needs to be slightly greater than the thickness of the cartons of cigarettes. Therefore, when the cartons of cigarettes fall from the receiving and placing member 40, they have a very small or minimum height difference, ensuring the stability of the cartons of cigarettes. When the cartons of cigarettes touch the upstream side of the second smoke baffle 70, since the number of cartons of cigarettes at each station is small, the mass is also light, and the friction force with the feeding belt 3 is also small. Therefore, under the action of the fourth elastic member 72, the position and angle stability of the second smoke baffle 70 can be ensured.

[0117] It should also be supplemented and explained that all "settings" and similar descriptive words in this application (especially in the specification) express that there is a connection relationship between two structures, but the specific means of connection between the two are not overly limited, and usually are conventional connection means, that is, it should be understood that such means are prior art and do not need to be elaborated too much. For example, "n is provided on m" only expresses that there is an n structure on the m structure, and whether the two are connected by welding, riveting, adhesive connection or integrally formed is within the protection scope of this application; another example is "y is rotatably provided on x", which only expresses that y and x can rotate relative to each other, and as for whether the two are rotatably connected by a bearing, or y directly passes through x and is rotatably connected to x, or other achievable ways, they are all within the protection scope of this application.

[0118] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Any changes and modifications made by those of ordinary skill in the art of the present invention based on the above disclosure are within the protection scope of the claims.
