Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tobacco packaging technology, and more particularly to equipment for producing carton cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco packaging process, the current GDX6-C800 packaging machine needs to handle two different types of cigarette packs with different packaging requirements: one type requires a BV (Bag Vaulting) device to pack the cigarette packs into soft cartons, and the other type requires a filling machine to pack the cigarette packs into hard cartons. However, since the GDX6-C800 packaging machine and the filling machine are not in the same workshop, when it is necessary to fill the cigarette packs into hard cartons, each cigarette pack needs to be manually transferred to the workshop where the filling machine is located, and then the pre-packed hard cartons need to be manually unpacked. This results in a low degree of automation in the entire carton cigarette production process, high labor intensity, and an inability to achieve continuous production of cigarette packs into carton cigarettes.

[0003] To address the above problems, there is an urgent need for a new type of cigarette carton production equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette carton production equipment that can improve the automation level of the entire cigarette carton production, reduce the intensity of manual labor, and ensure the continuous production of cigarette packs into cigarette cartons.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The equipment for producing carton cigarettes includes:

[0007] Packaging machines are used for wrapping cigarette packs with transparent paper and heat sealing.

[0008] A packing and packing device is located downstream of the packaging machine. The packing and packing device is used to stack the cigarette packs one on the top and bottom and put them into a soft carton.

[0009] A vertical lifting device is located downstream of the packaging machine, which can selectively feed the cigarette packs to the strip-packing device or the vertical lifting device. The vertical lifting device is used to lift and redirect the cigarette packs.

[0010] A filling machine is located downstream of the vertical lifting device. The filling machine is used to push the stacked cigarette packs into the rigid carton at a preset position and preset angle.

[0011] As an optional solution, the cigarette carton production equipment also includes:

[0012] A diversion device is disposed between the vertical lifting device and the filling machine. The diversion device is used to divert each of the cigarette packs into at least two diversion channels, and each diversion channel is correspondingly set to one of the filling machines.

[0013] As an optional solution, the diversion device includes:

[0014] A base plate, on which a flow divider is connected;

[0015] A first diversion mechanism is disposed on the base plate and spaced apart from the first side of the diversion seat, so that a first diversion channel is formed between the first diversion mechanism and the first side of the diversion seat. The first diversion mechanism can generate negative pressure to adsorb the cigarette pack with air and divert and transport the cigarette pack to the first diversion channel.

[0016] The second diversion mechanism is disposed on the base plate and spaced apart on the second side of the diversion seat, so that a second diversion channel is formed between the second diversion mechanism and the second side of the diversion seat. The first diversion mechanism and the second diversion mechanism are arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis. The second diversion mechanism can generate negative pressure to adsorb the cigarette pack and divert and transport the cigarette pack to the second diversion channel.

[0017] As an optional embodiment, the structure of the first diversion mechanism is the same as that of the second diversion mechanism; the first diversion mechanism includes:

[0018] A pneumatic base is connected to the base plate via an intermediate plate, and an airflow channel is provided inside the pneumatic base;

[0019] An airway connector, one end of which is connected to one end of the airflow channel, and the other end of which is connected to a negative pressure generator;

[0020] A timing belt is fitted around the outer periphery of the air pressure seat. The timing belt has several through holes, and the other end of the airflow channel is connected to the through holes.

[0021] As an optional solution, the cigarette carton production equipment also includes:

[0022] A carton buffer is located between each of the filling machines, and the carton buffer is used to buffer empty rigid cartons;

[0023] A robotic arm is located on one side of the carton buffer, and the robotic arm is used to grab the rigid carton in the carton buffer and transfer it to any of the filling machines.

[0024] As an optional solution, the cigarette carton production equipment also includes:

[0025] A quick-change conveyor assembly is detachably connected between the vertical lifting device and the packaging machine. The quick-change conveyor assembly is used to receive and convey the cigarette packs to the vertical lifting device.

[0026] As an optional solution, the cigarette carton production equipment also includes:

[0027] A first flipping assembly is connected between one of the diversion channels and one of the filling machines, and the first flipping assembly is used to flip the cigarette pack once;

[0028] A second flipping component is provided between the first flipping component and the filling machine, and the second flipping component is used to flip the cigarette pack a second time.

[0029] As an optional solution, the cigarette carton production equipment also includes:

[0030] A stacking component is disposed between the first flipping component and the second flipping component. The stacking component is used to stack the cigarette packs one on top of the other to form a cigarette pack group.

[0031] As an optional solution, the loading machine includes:

[0032] A push plate is used to push the cigarette pack assembly to the top of the rigid carton;

[0033] A pressure plate is used to push the cigarette pack assembly downwards into the rigid carton.

[0034] As an optional solution, the vertical lifting device includes:

[0035] Vertical frame;

[0036] The lifting seat and lifting belt are provided. The lifting seat is located within the vertical frame, and the lifting belt is wound around the lifting seat. The lifting belt can hold the cigarette pack. The lifting belt has a first arc-shaped transition surface at the bottom and a second arc-shaped transition surface at the top. After the cigarette pack is horizontally conveyed to the first arc-shaped transition surface, it can be conveyed vertically upward. After the cigarette pack is conveyed vertically upward, it can be conveyed vertically downward after passing through the second arc-shaped transition surface.

[0037] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0038] By using a packaging machine to wrap and heat-seal cigarette packs with transparent paper, and placing both the packing and vertical lifting devices downstream of the packaging machine, the packing and lifting devices stack cigarette packs vertically and load them into flexible cartons. The vertical lifting devices lift and redirect the cigarette packs, and the filling machine is located downstream of the vertical lifting devices to push the stacked cigarette packs into rigid cartons at preset positions and angles. In other words, the packaging machine can selectively feed cigarette packs to either the packing and lifting devices based on the specific packaging requirements. This allows for both flexible and rigid carton packaging of cigarette packs within a single workshop, eliminating the need for manual handling of cigarette packs and disassembly of pre-packaged rigid cartons. This improves the automation level of the entire carton cigarette production process, reduces manual labor intensity, and enables continuous production of cigarette packs into cartons.

[0055] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in the disclosed methods or processes, except mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.

[0056] Any feature disclosed in this specification, unless specifically stated otherwise, may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features. Throughout this specification, the same reference numerals indicate the same elements.

[0057] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0058] This embodiment proposes a cigarette carton production equipment that can perform both soft and hard carton packaging of cigarette packs in the same workshop. It eliminates the need for manual handling of cigarette packs and disassembly of pre-assembled hard cartons, thereby improving the automation level of the entire cigarette carton production, reducing manual labor intensity, and ensuring continuous production of cigarette packs into cigarette cartons.

[0059] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack production equipment includes a packaging machine, a pack-and-pack permeation device, a vertical lifting device 20, and a filling machine 30. The packaging machine is used for transparent paper packaging and heat sealing of the cigarette packs. The pack-and-pack permeation device is located downstream of the packaging machine and is used to stack the cigarette packs vertically and load them into a flexible carton. The vertical lifting device 20 is located downstream of the packaging machine and can selectively feed cigarette packs to either the pack-and-pack permeation device or the vertical lifting device 20. The vertical lifting device 20 is used to lift and redirect the cigarette packs. The filling machine 30 is located downstream of the vertical lifting device 20 and is used to push the stacked cigarette packs into a rigid carton 102 at a preset position and angle. Specifically, the packaging machine can be the existing GDX6-C800 packaging machine, and the pack-and-pack permeation device can be the existing YB955 BV pack-and-pack permeation device.

[0060] Compared to existing technologies, the cigarette pack production equipment in this embodiment uses a one-to-two online production method involving the packaging machine, the packing and sealing device, and the filling machine 30. The packaging machine performs transparent paper packaging and heat sealing on the cigarette packs. Both the packing and sealing device and the vertical lifting device 20 are located downstream of the packaging machine. The packing and sealing device stacks the cigarette packs vertically and inserts them into the soft carton. The vertical lifting device 20 lifts and reverses the direction of the cigarette packs. The filling machine 30 is located downstream of the vertical lifting device 20, allowing it to fill the stacked packs at a preset position and angle. Each cigarette pack is pushed into the rigid carton 102; that is, according to the specific packaging requirements of the cigarette pack, the packaging machine can selectively transport the cigarette pack to the carton-through device or the vertical lifting device 20, so that the soft carton packaging and the rigid carton 102 packaging of the cigarette pack can be realized in one workshop, eliminating the need for manual handling of cigarette packs and disassembly of pre-assembled rigid cartons 102, thereby improving the automation level of the entire carton cigarette production, reducing the intensity of manual labor, realizing the continuous production of cigarette packs into carton cigarettes, and without affecting the packaging machine's own function and structural layout.

[0061] It is worth noting that, for the sake of clarity and simplicity, X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis are provided in each device or component below, and the specific directions of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis are based on the directions shown in each device or component. That is, the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis in each device or component may indicate the same direction or different directions, and the specific directions are based on the description in each device or component.

[0062] The following is a detailed description of the diversion device 40:

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack production equipment also includes a diversion device 40, which is located between the vertical lifting device 20 and the filling machine 30. The diversion device 40 is used to divert each cigarette pack into at least two diversion channels 47, and one diversion channel 47 is correspondingly set with one filling machine 30.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two diversion channels 47 are provided to match the capacity of the packaging machine. That is, one packaging machine needs to be connected with two filling machines 30 to achieve automatic matching with the capacity of the packaging machine, ensure the automatic and orderly diversion of cigarette packs, and maximize the utilization of the packaging machine's capacity.

[0065] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the diversion device 40 includes a base plate 41, a first diversion mechanism 42, and a second diversion mechanism 43. A diversion seat 411 is connected to the base plate 41. The first diversion mechanism 42 is disposed on the base plate 41 and spaced apart from the first side of the diversion seat 411, forming a first diversion channel 45 between the first diversion mechanism 42 and the first side of the diversion seat 411. The first diversion mechanism 42 generates negative pressure to adsorb the tobacco pack and diverts the tobacco pack to the first diversion channel 45. The second diversion mechanism 43 is disposed on the base plate 41 and spaced apart from the second side of the diversion seat 411, forming a second diversion channel 46 between the second diversion mechanism 43 and the second side of the diversion seat 411. The first diversion mechanism 42 and the second diversion mechanism 43 are arranged opposite each other along the Y-axis. The second diversion mechanism 43 generates negative pressure to adsorb the tobacco pack and diverts the tobacco pack to the second diversion channel 46.

[0066] When it is necessary to divert the cigarette pack to the first diversion channel 45, the first diversion mechanism 42 generates negative pressure to adsorb the cigarette pack with air, and the cigarette pack moves forward synchronously with the first diversion mechanism 42 to divert and transport the cigarette pack to the first diversion channel 45. When it is necessary to divert the cigarette pack to the second diversion channel 46, the second diversion mechanism 43 generates negative pressure to adsorb the cigarette pack with air, and the cigarette pack moves forward synchronously with the second diversion mechanism 43 to divert and transport the cigarette pack to the second diversion channel 46, thereby achieving diversion of the cigarette pack's transport path. The above-mentioned pneumatic diversion method, which directly uses negative pressure to adsorb the cigarette pack, is superior to the current method of diversion control using mechanical diversion structures. In terms of design, 1. When the tobacco packs are diverted using negative pressure adsorption, it is less likely to generate large impact forces, which can avoid impact, shaking, or even tipping of the tobacco packs, thus ensuring stable diversion of the tobacco packs; 2. The diversion response rate of the negative pressure adsorption method is relatively fast. It only needs to provide negative pressure to quickly respond and divert the tobacco packs, which can adapt to the high-speed production cycle of tobacco packaging; 3. The negative pressure adsorption method has a certain buffer space, which can directly adsorb tobacco packs of different sizes, weights, and surface conditions without frequent manual adjustment or replacement of the first diversion mechanism 42 and the second diversion mechanism 43, saving time and effort and reducing the cost of tobacco pack diversion.

[0067] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the structure of the first diversion mechanism 42 is the same as that of the second diversion mechanism 43. The following description will only describe the structure of the first diversion mechanism 42 and will not describe the structure of the second diversion mechanism 43.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first diversion mechanism 42 includes a pressure seat 421, an air pipe connector 422, and a timing belt 423. The pressure seat 421 is connected to the base plate 41 via an intermediate plate 44; that is, the intermediate plate 44 is mounted on the base plate 41, and the pressure seat 421 is detachably connected to the intermediate plate 44. An airflow channel 4212 is provided within the pressure seat 421. One end of the air pipe connector 422 is connected to one end of the airflow channel 4212, and the other end of the air pipe connector 422 is connected to a negative pressure generator. The timing belt 423 is fitted around the outer periphery of the pressure seat 421, and several through holes 4231 are provided on the timing belt 423. The other end of the airflow channel 4212 communicates with the through holes 4231. Specifically, the negative pressure generator can be a vacuum pump, and the air pipe connector 422 can adopt a common air pipe connector structure in the prior art.

[0069] Specifically, when it is necessary to divert the cigarette pack between the first diversion mechanism 42 and the second diversion mechanism 43 to the first diversion channel 45, the negative pressure generator is first activated, and then the cigarette pack is adsorbed onto the synchronous belt 423 by the air pipe connector 422, the airflow channel 4212 and the through hole 4231 in sequence, so that the cigarette pack moves synchronously with the synchronous belt 423, and can be diverted into the first diversion channel 45 by the synchronous belt 423.

[0070] It is worth noting that, Figure 3 and Figure 4 Only a portion of the through holes 4231 are shown in the diagram. In the actual flow diversion process, through holes 4231 are arranged along the entire annular belt length of the synchronous belt 423 to ensure that the through holes 4231 are always connected to the airflow channel 4212 during the movement of the synchronous belt 423, thereby ensuring negative pressure adsorption of the tobacco pack.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, along the X-axis and in the conveying direction of the cigarette pack, the distance between the pneumatic seat 421 of the first diversion mechanism 42 and the pneumatic seat 421 of the second diversion mechanism 43 on the Y-axis gradually increases; this allows the pneumatic seat 421 and the diversion seat 411 to form a mutually cooperating structure, thereby better guiding the cigarette pack into the first diversion channel 45 or the second diversion channel 46, ensuring a better guiding effect on the cigarette pack.

[0072] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air pressure base 421 includes multiple sub-bases 4211, which are arranged sequentially along the length of the synchronous belt 423. Adjacent sub-bases 4211 are detachably connected and detachably mounted on the intermediate plate 44. Each sub-base 4211 is connected to at least one air pipe connector 422 to ensure good adsorption of the tobacco pack. Specifically, each sub-base 4211 can be a cuboid structure.

[0073] By detachably connecting two adjacent sub-seats 4211 and detachably connecting the sub-seats 4211 to the intermediate plate 44, the disassembly and installation of the sub-seats 4211 become simpler and more convenient. Furthermore, it allows for the combination and connection of different numbers of sub-seats 4211 to form pneumatic seats 421 of various lengths, thus enabling the pneumatic seat 421 to be suitable for various tobacco packs with different diversion and conveying requirements. In this embodiment, the pneumatic seat 421 includes four sub-seats 4211. The specific number of sub-seats 4211 included in the pneumatic seat 421 is not limited here.

[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the airflow channel 4212 includes a first channel 4213 and a second channel 4214; wherein, the first channel 4213 is disposed along the Z-axis inside each of the sub-seats 4211 of the air pressure seat 421, and one end of the first channel 4213 is connected to the air pipe connector 422; the second channel 4214 is disposed on one side of the air pressure seat 421 facing the flow divider seat 411, and two second channels 4214 are provided at intervals along the Z-axis, and the first channel 4213 is connected to both of the two second channels 4214, and the two second channels 4214 are respectively connected to two rings of through holes 4231 arranged at intervals along the Z-axis on the synchronous belt 423.

[0075] By connecting the two second channels 4214 of the air pressure seat 421 to the two rings of through holes 4231 arranged at intervals along the Z-axis on the synchronous belt 423, the adsorption effect of the tobacco pack through the two rings of through holes 4231 can be more stable, preventing the tobacco pack from falling off the synchronous belt 423 during the conveying and diversion process. This can better ensure the stability and reliability of diverting the tobacco pack to the first diversion channel 45 or the second diversion channel 46.

[0076] Specifically, the first diversion mechanism 42 also includes a solenoid valve, which is located on one side of the air pressure seat 421 and connected to the air pipe connector 422. The solenoid valve is used to open or close the air pipe connector 422 so as to quickly connect or disconnect the negative pressure, ensuring that the negative pressure adsorption of the tobacco pack is timely and fast. That is, the rapid switching of negative pressure adsorption is achieved through the solenoid valve, which can achieve a millisecond-level response rate, better adapt to the high-speed production rhythm of tobacco packaging, and make the diversion response faster and the control more precise.

[0077] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first diversion mechanism 42 also includes a power assembly 424. The power assembly 424 is mounted on the base plate 41 and located on one side of the synchronous belt 423 along the Y-axis. The power assembly 424 is connected to the synchronous belt 423 and is used to drive the synchronous belt 423 to move and adjust the tension of the synchronous belt 423.

[0078] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the power assembly 424 includes a base 4241, a drive motor 4242, an output shaft 4244, a pulley 4245, and a tensioning pulley 4246; wherein, the base 4241 is mounted on the base plate 41; the output end of the drive motor 4242 is connected to a reducer 4243, so as to achieve the function of speed reduction and torque increase of the output of the drive motor 4242 through the reducer 4243; the output shaft 4244 is connected to the output end of the reducer 4243, and the output shaft 4244 is rotatably connected to the base around the Z-axis. The base 4241 is equipped with a drive motor 4242 for driving the output shaft 4244 to rotate around the Z-axis; a pulley 4245 is sleeved on the output shaft 4244, and a synchronous belt 423 is wound around the pulley 4245; a tension pulley 4246 is equipped with the synchronous belt 423, and the tension pulley 4246 and the pulley 4245 are located on opposite sides of the synchronous belt 423 respectively. The tension pulley 4246 can be adjusted along the Y-axis position on the base 4241 to adjust the tension of the synchronous belt 423.

[0079] Specifically, the output of the drive motor 4242 drives the reducer 4243 to operate, so that the reducer 4243 reduces the output torque of the drive motor 4242. Then, the reducer 4243 drives the output shaft 4244 and the pulley 4245 to rotate around the Z-axis, so that the pulley 4245 drives the synchronous belt 423 to move, thereby moving the cigarette packs adsorbed on it to the first diversion channel 45 or the second diversion channel 46. The pulley 4245 and the synchronous belt 423 are engaged to avoid the synchronous belt 423 from slipping.

[0080] Furthermore, the specific installation position of the tensioning wheel 4246 on the base 4241 can be adjusted according to the actual tensioning requirements, so as to adjust the specific position and angle of the tensioning wheel 4246 pressing against the synchronous belt 423. In this way, the tension of the synchronous belt 423 can be adjusted through the tensioning wheel 4246, thereby ensuring the stability of the synchronous belt 423 driving the cigarette pack.

[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the diverting device 40 also includes a driven component 425. One end of the driven component 425 is disposed on the base plate 41 and located on one side of the synchronous belt 423 along the Y-axis. The other end of the driven component 425 passes through one end of the synchronous belt 423, so that the driven component 425 can provide a guiding function and auxiliary conveying effect for the synchronous belt 423, thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the synchronous belt 423. In this embodiment, a total of four driven components 425 are provided, with one driven component 425 at each of the opposite ends of a synchronous belt 423, so as to better ensure the smoothness of the movement of the synchronous belt 423.

[0082] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the driven assembly 425 includes a Z-shaped seat 4251, a connecting shaft 4252, and a driven pulley 4253. The bottom end of the Z-shaped seat 4251 is mounted on the base plate 41 and located on one side of the synchronous belt 423 along the Y-axis. One end of the connecting shaft 4252 is rotatably connected to the top end of the Z-shaped seat 4251 around the Z-axis, and the other end of the connecting shaft 4252 extends along the Z-axis towards the bottom end of the Z-shaped seat 4251. The driven pulley 4253 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 4252, and the synchronous belt 423 is wound around the driven pulley 4253, so that the rotation of the driven pulley 4253 around the Z-axis provides a guiding function and auxiliary conveying effect for the synchronous belt 423. The driven pulley 4253 is engaged with the synchronous belt 423 to prevent slippage of the synchronous belt 423.

[0083] The following is a detailed description of the carton cache library 101 and the robotic arm:

[0084] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack production equipment also includes a carton buffer 101 and a robotic arm. The carton buffer 101 is located between each filling machine 30 and is used to buffer empty hard cartons 102, facilitating the supply of empty hard cartons 102 to each filling machine 30. The hard cartons 102 are pre-formed. The robotic arm is located on one side of the carton buffer 101 and is used to pick up hard cartons 102 from the carton buffer 101 and transfer them to any filling machine 30. The carton buffer 101 employs a common buffer structure found in existing technologies, and the robotic arm is a highly flexible six-axis robotic arm.

[0085] By setting up a carton buffer 101 and a robotic arm that work together, empty hard cartons 102 can be buffered for use. The robotic arm can transfer and distribute empty hard cartons 102 according to actual packing needs. That is, the carton buffer 101 supplies empty hard cartons 102 to two filling machines 30, ensuring the continuity of the supply of hard cartons 102 to the two filling machines 30, reducing the downtime of the filling machines 30 due to waiting for materials, and enabling the two filling machines 30 to always be in a collaborative packing state, thereby improving the production efficiency of carton cigarettes.

[0086] The quick-change conveyor assembly 10 is described in detail below:

[0087] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cigarette pack production equipment also includes a quick-change conveyor assembly 10, which is detachably connected between the vertical lifting device 20 and the packaging machine. The quick-change conveyor assembly 10 is used to receive and convey cigarette packs to the vertical lifting device 20, so as to facilitate quick connection between the packaging machine and the vertical lifting device 20.

[0088] It is worth noting that the quick-change conveyor assembly 10 can be used to transfer between the other two devices or components in the cigarette pack production equipment, ensuring the continuity of cigarette pack transportation between the various devices or components.

[0089] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the quick-change conveyor assembly 10 includes a support frame 11, a conveyor 12, and a limiting top cover 13. The conveyor 12 is installed on the support frame 11 along the conveying direction of the tobacco packs, and is used to support and convey the tobacco packs. The limiting top cover 13 can be placed above the conveyor 12 and has a gap between it and the tobacco packs. When the tobacco packs on the conveyor 12 are squeezed together and bulge upwards, the limiting top cover 13 can limit the tobacco packs downwards to prevent them from being conveyed smoothly on the conveyor 12. In this embodiment, the conveyor 12 can specifically be a conveyor belt.

[0090] Compared with the prior art, the quick-change conveying assembly 10 in this embodiment has a limiting cover 13 above the conveying component 12. By allowing the limiting cover 13 to cover the conveying component 12 and having a gap between it and the cigarette pack, the limiting cover 13 will not affect the conveying of the cigarette packs on the conveying component 12, thus ensuring the smooth conveying of the cigarette packs on the conveying component 12. When the cigarette packs on the conveying component 12 are squeezed together and bulge upwards, the limiting cover 13 covering the conveying component 12 can limit and block the cigarette packs downwards. That is, the limiting cover 13 can provide a downward limiting force to the cigarette packs, so as to press the bulging cigarette packs to a horizontal conveying state, so that the pressed cigarette packs can continue to be conveyed smoothly on the conveying component 12. This can avoid the cigarette packs being squeezed out of the conveying component 12 and the cigarette packs being damaged. In this way, it can better ensure the continuous, orderly and stable conveying of the cigarette packs on the conveying component 12, and reduce the damage rate of the cigarette packs.

[0091] Furthermore, by placing the limiting top cover 13 on top of the conveyor 12, the original layout of the conveyor 12 can be maintained without altering it. This allows the limiting top cover 13 to occupy only the installation space above the conveyor 12, thus reducing the installation space requirements of the limiting top cover 13 and ensuring a more reasonable and compact structural layout for the entire quick-change conveyor assembly 10.

[0092] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the limiting top cover 13 includes a top cover 131, a mounting base 132, and a handle 133. The top cover 131 is positioned above the conveyor 12 and has a gap between it and the cigarette pack. The mounting base 132 is gapped onto one side of the conveyor 12, and the gap in the mounting base 132 is located on one side of the top cover 131. One end of the handle 133 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 132 about the conveying direction of the cigarette pack, and the other end of the handle 133 is connected to the top surface of the top cover 131. Specifically, the top cover 131 can be a U-shaped cover.

[0093] By setting up a handle 133 and a mounting base 132 that cooperate with each other, during the actual conveying of cigarette packs, the operator can directly hold the handle 133 and swing the top cover 131 around the conveying direction of the cigarette packs to lift it up to open the top cover 131 or lower it down to press it above the conveyor 12. This makes the opening and closing of the top cover 131 more convenient and facilitates the quick picking and placing of cigarette packs on the conveyor 12. Furthermore, through the rotatable connection between the handle 133 and the mounting base 132, the mounting base 132 can provide a more stable support for the opening and closing of the top cover 131, making it easier and less strenuous to open and close the top cover 131.

[0094] Specifically, the top cover 131 is made of transparent plastic. On the one hand, this allows for good visibility, enabling operators to directly observe the specific conveying status of the cigarette packs on the conveyor 12 through the top cover 131, thus allowing for real-time monitoring of the cigarette pack conveying situation. On the other hand, this makes the entire top cover 131 lighter, which is beneficial for operators to hold the handle 133 and swing the top cover 131 around the conveying direction of the cigarette packs, making the opening and closing of the top cover 131 less strenuous. At the same time, since the top cover 131 is placed on top of the conveyor 12, that is, the top cover 131 can be directly placed on the support frame 11, so that the support frame 11 and the top cover 131 can form a relatively sealed receiving space. The conveyor 12 and the cigarette packs on it are placed in this receiving space, thereby effectively isolating dust through the top cover 131 and preventing dust from adhering to the surface of the cigarette packs, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the cigarette packs.

[0095] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the mounting base 132 includes a fixing block 1321, a pin 1322, and a rotating block 1323. The fixing block 1321 is spaced and installed on one side of the conveyor 12. The two ends of the pin 1322 are connected to the fixing block 1321. The rotating block 1323 is rotatably mounted on the pin 1322 around the conveying direction of the cigarette pack. One end of the handle 133 is connected to the rotating block 1323, so that the handle 133 rotates synchronously with the rotating block 1323 around the pin 1322, thereby swinging the top cover 131 to open and close it. Specifically, the fixing block 1321 can be a U-shaped block. The fixing block 1321 is spaced and installed on one side of the conveyor 12 by fastening screws. That is, the fixing block 1321 can be installed on the support frame 11 or on the outside of the support frame 11. Here, the specific installation position of the fixing block 1321 is not limited, as long as it is fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor 12.

[0096] Specifically, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the handle 133 includes a vertical plate 1331, a bent plate 1332, and a grip rod 1333; one end of the vertical plate 1331 is connected to the rotating block 1323; one end of the bent plate 1332 is bent and connected to the other end of the vertical plate 1331, and the other end of the bent plate 1332 is installed on the top of the top cover 131; the grip rod 1333 is installed on the top of the bent plate 1332. Specifically, the vertical plate 1331 and the bent plate 1332 can be an integral structure, and the vertical plate 1331 and the bent plate 1332 can be connected to form an L-shaped plate.

[0097] Specifically, if Figure 8 As shown, the vertical plate 1331 and the rotating block 1323 are connected by hexagon socket head cap screws, and the vertical plate 1331 and the rotating block 1323 are fitted with elastic washers and flat washers; the bending plate 1332 and the top cover 131 are fixed by a first connecting screw; the gripping rod 1333 and the bending plate 1332 are fixed by a second connecting screw.

[0098] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the limiting top cover 13 also includes a magnetic suction member 134. The magnetic suction member 134 is located on one side of the top cover 131. The magnetic suction member 134 and the mounting base 132 are located on opposite sides of the top cover 131. The magnetic suction member 134 is used to magnetically attract the support frame 11 when the top cover 131 is placed on top of the conveyor 12, so that the top cover 131 can be fixed to the support frame 11. That is, the top cover 131 can be stably placed on top of the conveyor 12, so that the top cover 131 will not be easily pushed open by the cigarette pack, thereby ensuring the effect of the top cover 131 in limiting and blocking the cigarette pack downward.

[0099] Specifically, if Figure 8As shown, the magnetic suction component 134 includes at least one magnet block 1341, which is fixed to one side of the top cover 131 by an internal hexagonal flat-head screw, so that it can be magnetically attracted to the support frame 11. In this embodiment, the magnetic suction component 134 includes two magnet blocks 1341, which are spaced apart along the length of the top cover 131, so that both magnet blocks 1341 can be magnetically attracted to the support frame 11 simultaneously, thereby better ensuring the stability of the top cover 131 above the conveyor 12. Here, the specific number of magnet blocks 1341 is not limited, and needs to be determined according to the actual magnetic attraction requirements of the top cover 131.

[0100] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the limiting top cover 13 also includes a limiting member 135. The limiting member 135 is protruding on the inner top surface of the top cover 131 facing the cigarette pack. The limiting member 135 can limit the cigarette pack downwards. That is, in the actual conveying process, the limiting member 135 contacts and presses against the upwardly raised cigarette pack to press the cigarette pack into a horizontal conveying state.

[0101] Specifically, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the limiting member 135 includes at least one cylindrical limiting rod 1351, which extends along the conveying direction of the cigarette pack. The cylindrical limiting rod 1351 can contact and block the cigarette pack downwards to press it into a horizontal conveying state. The cylindrical limiting rod 1351 is fixed to the inner top surface of the top cover 131 by hexagonal screws. In this embodiment, the limiting member 135 includes two cylindrical limiting rods 1351, which are spaced apart and connected parallel to each other on the inner top surface of the top cover 131. This allows for better contact and blocking of the upwardly protruding cigarette pack, ensuring better blocking effect. The specific number of cylindrical limiting rods 1351 is not limited here and needs to be determined according to the actual blocking requirements of the cigarette pack.

[0102] By making the cylindrical limiting rod 1351 contact the cigarette pack downwards, the contact area between the cylindrical limiting rod 1351 and the cigarette pack is smaller, which can prevent the cylindrical limiting rod 1351 from damaging the cigarette pack, thus better protecting the cigarette pack and further reducing the damage rate of the cigarette pack.

[0103] Furthermore, such as Figure 7As shown, the quick-change conveying assembly 10 also includes a guide 14. The guide 14 is disposed on the support frame 11 and located on opposite sides of the conveying assembly 12. The guide 14 is used to limit and guide the cigarette packs so that the conveying posture of the cigarette packs on the conveying assembly 12 can be limited by the guide 14, so as to prevent the cigarette packs from tilting or running off course when conveying on the conveying assembly 12, and ensure that the cigarette packs can only be conveyed along the conveying direction of the cigarette packs on the conveying assembly 12, thereby ensuring that the cigarette packs are conveyed continuously, orderly and stably on the conveying assembly 12.

[0104] Specifically, if Figure 7 As shown, the guide member 14 includes two square guide rods 141, which extend along the conveying direction of the cigarette pack. Square guide rods 141 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the conveying member 12 to limit and guide the conveying posture of the cigarette pack on the conveying member 12. Furthermore, the square guide rods 141 can increase the contact area between themselves and the cigarette pack, thereby providing a more stable limiting and guiding force for the cigarette pack, resulting in a better limiting and guiding effect on the cigarette pack.

[0105] The specific working process of the quick-change conveyor assembly 10 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0106] First, grasp the handle 1333 and swing the top cover 131 around the conveying direction of the cigarette pack, so that the top cover 131 and the entire handle 133 swing around the pivot 1322 with the rotating block 1323 to open the top cover 131; then place the sequentially arranged cigarette packs on the conveyor 12 and start the conveyor 12 to convey the cigarette packs, and guide the square guide rods 141 on both sides to guide the conveying posture of the cigarette packs on the conveyor 12; at the same time, grasp the handle 1333 again and swing around the conveying direction of the cigarette packs. The top cover 131 is swung to the side, causing the top cover 131 and the entire handle 133 to swing around the pin 1322 with the rotating block 1323, so as to cover the top cover 131 on the top of the conveyor 12. At this time, the two magnet blocks 1341 on one side of the top cover 131 are magnetically attracted to the support frame 11 to fix the top cover 131 on the top of the conveyor 12. The two cylindrical limiting rods 1351 on the inner top surface of the top cover 131 are spaced above the cigarette pack to ensure the smooth conveying of the cigarette pack.

[0107] When the cigarette packs are squeezed together and bulge upwards during the conveying process, the two cylindrical limiting rods 1351 on the inner top surface of the top cover 131 covering the conveyor 12 can provide a downward limiting force to the cigarette packs, so as to press the bulging cigarette packs to a horizontal conveying state, and so that the pressed cigarette packs can continue to be conveyed smoothly on the conveyor 12.

[0108] The first flipping component 50, the second flipping component 60, and the stacking component 70 are described in detail below:

[0109] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack production equipment also includes a first flipping component 50 and a second flipping component 60; wherein, a diversion channel 47 is connected to a filling machine 30 and the first flipping component 50 is used to flip the cigarette pack once; the second flipping component 60 is located between the first flipping component 50 and the filling machine 30 and is used to flip the cigarette pack a second time.

[0110] By setting up a first flipping component 50 and a second flipping component 60 that cooperate with each other, the cigarette packs can be flipped twice, thereby ensuring that the cigarette packs are flipped to a preset position and preset angle, so as to accurately push the stacked cigarette packs into the hard carton 102, thereby ensuring the yield rate of the packaged cigarette cartons.

[0111] It is worth noting that the first flipping component 50 can be a C-shaped flipping structure in the prior art, and the second flipping component 60 can be a horizontal flipping structure in the prior art. Here, the specific structure of the first flipping component 50 and the second flipping component 60 is not limited, as long as it can ensure that the cigarette pack can be flipped to a preset position and preset angle by the first flipping component 50 and the second flipping component 60.

[0112] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack production equipment also includes a stacking assembly 70, which is located between the first flipping assembly 50 and the second flipping assembly 60. The stacking assembly 70 is used to stack cigarette packs vertically to form a cigarette pack group. That is, the filling machine 30 specifically assembles the cigarette packs into the rigid carton 102. In this embodiment, the cigarette pack group specifically consists of ten cigarette packs stacked in two layers. The stacking assembly 70 can adopt a common stacking structure in the prior art.

[0113] The following is a detailed description of the loading machine 30:

[0114] Specifically, the filling machine 30 includes a pusher plate and a pressure plate; the pusher plate is used to push the stacked cigarette pack assembly as a whole to the top of the rigid carton 102; then the pressure plate is used to push the cigarette pack assembly downward into the rigid carton 102 to realize the boxing operation. The filling machine 30 can be a YB600A filling machine.

[0115] The vertical lifting device 20 is described in detail below:

[0116] Specifically, if Figure 9As shown, the vertical lifting device 20 includes a vertical frame 21, a lifting seat 22, and a lifting belt 23; wherein, the lifting seat 22 is disposed inside the vertical frame 21, the lifting belt 23 is wrapped around the lifting seat 22, the lifting belt 23 can adsorb the cigarette pack, the lifting belt 23 has a first arc-shaped transition surface 231 at the bottom end and a second arc-shaped transition surface 232 at the top end, the cigarette pack is horizontally conveyed to the first arc-shaped transition surface 231 and can be vertically conveyed upward, and the vertically conveyed cigarette pack is vertically conveyed downward after passing through the second arc-shaped transition surface 232.

[0117] By setting a first arc-shaped transition surface 231 and a second arc-shaped transition surface 232 that cooperate with each other, the cigarette pack can be reversed twice. On the one hand, the position and orientation of the cigarette pack can be more suitable, so that the various devices and components in the cigarette pack production equipment can be arranged more reasonably and compactly, making the layout of the entire cigarette pack production equipment more reasonable. On the other hand, the cigarette pack can be turned, so that the vertical lifting device 20 can cooperate better with the first flipping component 50 and the second flipping component 60, and thus can better flip the cigarette pack to the preset position and preset angle.

[0118] The first testing device 80, the six-sided beauty container 90, and the second testing device are described in detail below:

[0119] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack production equipment also includes a first inspection device 80, which is located between the first flipping component 50 and the stacking component 70. The first inspection device 80 is used to inspect the appearance of six sides of the cigarette pack and remove unqualified cigarette packs so that qualified cigarette packs can be conveyed to the stacking component 70 for stacking. The first inspection device 80 can be a common six-sided inspection device found in the prior art.

[0120] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack production equipment also includes a six-sided beautifying container 90, which is located downstream of the filling machine 30. The six-sided beautifying container 90 is used to process and beautify the six sides of the hard carton 102 or soft carton after packaging, so as to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the hard carton 102 and soft carton. The six-sided beautifying container 90 adopts a six-sided beautifying structure commonly used in existing technologies.

[0121] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cigarette carton production equipment also includes a second inspection device, located downstream of the six-sided beautifying container 90. This second inspection device detects whether any cigarette packs are missing from the hard or soft carton, rejecting any defective hard or soft cartons and conveying the qualified ones to the sealing process. This allows the hard or soft cartons to be sealed, resulting in a complete hard or soft carton. The second inspection device can be a commonly used missing pack detection device in existing technology.

[0122] The specific working process of the cigarette carton production equipment in this embodiment is as follows: the cigarette packs need to be packaged in hard carton 102:

[0123] First, a quick-change conveyor assembly 10 is quickly installed between the packaging machine and the vertical lifting device 20. The cigarette packs packaged by the packaging machine are conveyed to the bottom of the vertical lifting device 20 through the quick-change conveyor assembly 10. The cigarette packs are then conveyed horizontally to the first arc-shaped transition surface 231 and then vertically upward. After being conveyed vertically upward, the cigarette packs are conveyed vertically downward through the second arc-shaped transition surface 232, so as to vertically lift and change the direction of the cigarette packs.

[0124] Then, the vertically downward conveyed tobacco pack is conveyed to the diversion device 40. First, the negative pressure generator is activated, and then the tobacco pack is sequentially drawn onto the synchronous belt 423 by the air pipe connector 422, the airflow channel 4212 and the through hole 4231. This causes the tobacco pack to move synchronously with the synchronous belt 423, so that it can be diverted into the first diversion channel 45 or the second diversion channel 46 by the synchronous belt 423.

[0125] Then, the cigarette packs in the first diversion channel 45 are turned by the first flipping component 50, and then the cigarette packs are passed by the first detection device 80. The first detection device 80 detects the appearance of the six sides of the cigarette packs, and rejects the unqualified cigarette packs. The qualified cigarette packs are transported to the stacking component 70, and the stacking component 70 stacks the cigarette packs to form a cigarette pack group of ten cigarette packs including the upper and lower stacks. Then, the stacked cigarette pack group is turned by the second flipping component 60 to ensure that the cigarette pack group is turned to a preset position and preset angle.

[0126] At the same time, the robotic arm grabs the rigid crates 102 in the crate buffer 101 and transfers them to any of the filling machines 30, ensuring the proper transfer and distribution of empty rigid crates 102.

[0127] Finally, the pusher plate pushes the stacked cigarette pack assembly to the top of the rigid carton 102, and the pressure plate pushes the cigarette pack assembly downward into the rigid carton 102 to complete the packaging. Then, the packaged rigid carton 102 or flexible carton is conveyed to the six-sided beautification container 90, where the six-sided beautification container 90 processes and beautifies the six sides of the rigid carton 102 or flexible carton. After that, the rigid carton 102 or flexible carton is conveyed to the second inspection device, which detects whether there are any missing cigarette packs in the rigid carton 102 or flexible carton. The unqualified rigid carton 102 or flexible carton is rejected, and the qualified rigid carton 102 or flexible carton is conveyed to the sealing process to seal the rigid carton 102 or flexible carton, thereby producing a rigid carton 102 or flexible carton with a complete structure.

[0128] The cigarette carton production equipment in this embodiment, by setting up a quick-change conveyor assembly 10, a vertical lifting device 20, a diversion device 40, a first flipping assembly 50, a stacking assembly 70, a second flipping assembly 60, a filling machine 30, a carton buffer 101, and a robotic arm that work together, can ensure a high degree of consistency in the operating speed, production efficiency, automated operation, and quality control of the above-mentioned structures, thereby achieving automation and continuity of the entire cigarette carton production process.

[0129] The cigarette pack production equipment in this embodiment can meet the overall operating speed of the packaging machine at 600 packs / minute, which is well matched with the production capacity of the packaging machine, thereby improving the production efficiency of cigarette packs to 85%. Furthermore, it can achieve online flexible adsorption switching between the first diversion channel 45 and the second diversion channel 46, with a switching time of 17 minutes between the two channels. Simultaneously, it can ensure 100% accuracy in online detection and rejection of unqualified cigarette packs, hard carton 102, and soft carton, thus ensuring a high yield rate for both the cigarette packs and the entire cigarette pack. Moreover, by using one packaging machine to correspond to two filling machines 30, and one carton buffer 101 to correspond to two filling machines 30, continuous online production and centralized supply of hard carton 102 can be achieved, forming an automated filling production process.
