Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the transportation technical field, more particularly, it relates to a cigarette tray transportation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cigarette tray transportation refers to the use of trays as a carrying unit to concentrate, unitize, store and circulate the formed cigarette packs in the production process, mainly applied to the latter part of the cigarette production process, and the core is unitization, standardization, mechanization and product protection.

[0003] The existing tray transportation device includes traditional manual handling, electric forklift conveying, conveying line system, etc. The existing transportation device still has some drawbacks. The traditional conveying line or AGV only completes horizontal conveying, and the tray still needs to rely on manual or secondary equipment for unloading when it reaches the end point, which causes efficiency bottleneck and positioning deviation, affecting the next process operation. The existing roller conveying device lacks a clamping mechanism, and the tray is prone to deviation or posture tilt during transportation, affecting the conveying efficiency. The tobacco industry tends to small batch and multi-specification production, and the size of the cigarette pack is diversified. Therefore, a rigid tray needs to be customized to match, and the adaptability of the rigid tray is poor. Therefore, it is urgent to design a cigarette tray transportation device to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0004] (I) Technical problems solved

[0005] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a cigarette tray transportation device to solve the technical problems of the traditional conveying line connection fault and poor adaptability of the rigid tray mentioned in the background.

[0006] (II) Technical solutions

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A cigarette tray transportation device, comprising a first conveying mechanism, a second conveying mechanism and a towing mechanism, the first conveying mechanism comprising a first support column, a support frame, a motor, a track, a shaft, a roller one and a clamping assembly, the first support column being connected with two groups of support frames on the upper end surface, the support frame being connected with a shaft at both ends, the surface of the roller one being sleeved with four groups of roller one, the surface of the roller one being sleeved with a track, the shaft being connected with a motor at one end, the clamping assembly being connected with the support frame, the towing mechanism being arranged on the upper end surface of the track, comprising a plate one, a tray and an adjusting assembly, the lower end surface of the tray being in contact with the track for conveying, the plate one being provided with two groups and being hingedly connected with the upper end surface of the tray, the adjusting assembly being arranged on the upper end surface of the tray, the second conveying mechanism being arranged at one end of the first conveying mechanism.

[0009] The present invention further provides that the clamping assembly is provided with six groups, including a fixed plate, a connecting rod, a knob, and a connecting block. The fixed plate is connected to the side of the support frame, the connecting rod is connected to the fixed plate, one end of the connecting rod is connected to a slider, the upper end surface of the fixed plate is provided with a knob, and the side of the connecting block is connected to the clamping plate. The knob adjusts the connecting rod to push the connecting block, thereby adjusting the spacing between the clamping plates, ensuring that the consignment mechanism does not deviate during transportation, thereby improving transportation efficiency.

[0010] The present invention further provides that the adjustment assembly includes a second plate, a third plate, a bottom plate, and a screw. The bottom plate is disposed on the upper end surface of the tray, and a groove is defined in the bottom plate's upper end surface. The screw is disposed within the groove. The second plate is fixedly connected to the bottom plate's upper end surface, and the third plate is disposed on the bottom plate's upper end surface and is threadedly connected to the screw. Rotating the screw drives the third plate to translate, thereby adjusting the tobacco rods to different sizes.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the plate 1 is hingedly connected to the tray via hinges, wherein the hinges are provided in four sets. The hinged plate 1 can be unfolded to form a side baffle to prevent the tobacco rods from tipping over during transportation, and can be closed to facilitate storage.

[0012] The present invention further provides that the second conveying mechanism includes a second support column, an auxiliary frame, and two rollers. The auxiliary frame is connected to the upper end surface of the second support column, and a plurality of second rollers are disposed in the middle of the auxiliary frame. The second conveying mechanism ensures stable material unloading, and the tilted auxiliary frame uses its own weight to help the tray slide into the next stage, eliminating the need for additional power.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that one end of the auxiliary frame is configured to be an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped structure of the auxiliary frame guides the tray to smoothly transition to the next link, avoiding right-angle collisions.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that anti-skid pads are provided on the crawler belt to further improve the stability of the consignment mechanism during transportation.

[0015] (3) Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cigarette pallet transport device with the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The present invention is provided with a first conveying mechanism, which drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the motor, drives the rotating roller to rotate, and then drives the crawler-carrying tray to move horizontally. The rotating knob pushes the connecting rod to drive the clamping plate to move horizontally, forming a spacing that adapts to the tray, ensuring the smooth transportation of the consignment mechanism, avoiding deviation, and improving the transportation efficiency.

[0018] 2. The present invention is provided with a second conveying mechanism. When the consignment mechanism conveys to the end of the first conveying mechanism, the inclined auxiliary frame uses its own weight to assist the pallet to slide into the next link, eliminating additional power. The arc-shaped structure design at the end of the auxiliary frame guides the pallet to smoothly transition to the next link, avoiding right-angle collisions.

[0019] 3. The present invention is provided with a shipping mechanism, which pushes plate three to move horizontally in the groove of the bottom plate by rotating the screw, forming a storage space adapted to the width of the tobacco rods with the fixed plate two, thereby realizing rapid adaptation to different tobacco rod specifications. The two sets of plate one are flipped up, and the adjustment assembly is placed on the tray to form a side baffle to prevent the tobacco rods from overturning. At the same time, plate one is closed for easy storage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
