Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated cigarette packing equipment, and in particular to an integrated automated cigarette packing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional cigarette production, after cigarettes are made and packaged, the cigarette cartons need to be packed into cardboard boxes for easy transport. Manual packing involves a series of operations, including unfolding the box, stacking the cigarette cartons, packing, and sealing. Manual packing is slow and prone to errors, resulting in incomplete packing. With the development of automated machinery, many cigarette manufacturers have begun using automated equipment for packing cigarettes. For automated cigarette carton packaging equipment, the cigarette cartons need to be stacked before being pushed into the cardboard box in one go. For example, Chinese patent application number 202410688174.5 discloses a cigarette pack stacking and conveying device. This device can only stack one row of cigarette cartons, resulting in low efficiency. In practice, according to the dropping method described in this application, the cigarette cartons are prone to tipping over during descent. For example, Chinese patent application number 202410625116.8 discloses an intelligent system for opening and forming packaging box blanks, including a control unit and an execution unit. The execution unit includes an execution mechanism, a movable suction cup group, and a fixed suction cup group. The control unit controls the execution mechanism to drive the movable suction cup group to adsorb the box body I, moving the box blank from the box blank storage station to the box blank forming station. The fixed suction cup group at the box blank forming station holds the box body II. These devices can only complete one or part of the process individually and cannot achieve the entire boxing operation automation with just one machine. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automated cigarette packing integrated machine that can automatically complete a series of operations such as carton unfolding, cigarette pack stacking, boxing, and sealing, reducing labor input and improving production efficiency.

Therefore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the stated features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 22 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an automated cigarette packing integrated machine, including: a carton storage module 1, a carton opening module 2, a stacking module 3, a cigarette pushing module 4, and a carton sealing module 7. The carton storage module 1, the carton opening module 2, the stacking module 3, and the cigarette pushing module 4 are all installed on a frame 5. The carton opening module 2 is located below the carton storage module 1, and the stacking module 3 is located on one side of the carton opening module 2. The stacking module 3 is used to stack cigarette packs, and the cigarette pushing module 4 is used to push the stacked cigarette packs into the carton. The carton sealing module 7 is installed on both sides of the carton opening module 2, and a carton pushing module 6 is provided at the bottom of the carton opening module 2. The carton pushing module 6 is used to push the carton through the carton sealing module 7.

[0020] The carton storage module 1 is used to store flat carton packaging materials; the carton opening module 2 is used to remove the carton from the carton storage module 1 and unfold the carton; the stacking module 3 is used to stack cigarette packs into multiple rows and layers for easy packing; the cigarette pushing module 4 is used to push the stacked cigarette packs into the unfolded carton; the box pushing module 6 is used to push away the carton containing the cigarette packs so that the next carton can be packed; the box sealing module 7 is used to fold the large and small sides of the carton so that the tape can be used to seal the carton smoothly.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the stacking module 3 includes: a first conveyor 301, a second conveyor 302, a lifting support platform 303, and a stop bar 304. The first conveyor 301, the second conveyor 302, and the lifting support platform 303 are all mounted on the frame 5, and one end of the first conveyor 301 is connected to one end of the second conveyor 302. The lifting support platform 303 is located below the second conveyor 302, and the two ends of the stop bar 304 are vertically installed between the second conveyors 302. The second conveyor 302 is provided with a transverse movement mechanism 305 on both sides, which can drive the second conveyor 302 to move to both sides.

[0022] When the cigarette packing machine is working, the cigarette packs are packaged and then moved to the first conveyor 301 via the feeding equipment. From there, they are moved to the second conveyor 302. Because the second conveyor 302 has a stop bar 304 in the middle, the cigarette packs are tightly packed under the stop bar's pressure. When the set number of packs is reached, the last cigarette pack blocks the photoelectric switch. After blocking the switch, the blocking cylinder extends, and the blocking mechanism rises to block subsequent cigarette packs. Simultaneously, the first telescopic rod 310 retracts, causing the second connecting block 309 to rotate. Since the second connecting block 309 is linked to the third connecting block 311 via a sliding groove, the rotation of the second connecting block 309 will cause its lower end to drive the third connecting block. The third connecting block 311 moves, and because the third connecting block 311 is fixedly connected to the second conveyor 302, and the second conveyor 302 is constrained by the first guide rod 307, when the first telescopic rod 310 retracts, the second conveyor 302 moves to both sides, increasing the distance between the two conveyors 302. The distance increases very quickly, allowing the cigarette sticks to fall freely onto the lifting support platform 303 below the second conveyor 302. After falling, the lifting support platform 303 descends by the lifting mechanism a distance equal to the thickness of the cigarette sticks, ensuring that the top row of cigarette sticks on the lifting support platform 303 is 1cm to 3cm away from the top of the second conveyor 302, maintaining an appropriate falling distance and preventing the cigarette sticks from becoming loose after falling. After the cigarette sticks have fallen, the first telescopic rod 310 extends, causing the second conveyor 302 to reset, thus allowing for the arrangement of the next row of cigarette sticks. When the second conveyor 302 resets, the clamps on the inner side of the second conveyor 302 can push and organize the top row of cigarette sticks, keeping them neat. After repeating a certain number of times, the cigarette sticks can be arranged in a certain number of rows and layers on the lifting support platform 303. Then the lifting support platform 303 continues to descend. The frame 5 is equipped with a weighing module. When the height of the lifting support platform 303 is lower than the weighing module 9, the weight of the cigarette sticks is evenly pressed on the weighing module 9. The total weight of the cigarette sticks can be obtained through the weighing sensor at the bottom of the weighing module 9. After the weighing is qualified, the stacked cigarette sticks can be pushed into the packaging box by the cigarette pushing module 4.

[0023] This device allows smaller cigarette sticks to be stacked in multiple rows and layers on the lifting support platform 303. After the cigarette sticks are arranged, they are stacked by falling vertically. The falling distance is small, and the cigarette sticks are not easy to loosen after falling. When the second conveyor 302 resets, it can organize the top row of cigarette sticks so that the multiple layers of cigarette sticks can be arranged neatly, which is convenient for the final packing operation.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 12As shown, the transverse mechanism 305 includes a first mounting plate 306, a first guide rod 307, a first connecting block 308, a second connecting block 309, and a first telescopic rod 310. The upper part of the first mounting plate 306 is connected to the frame 5. The first guide rod 307 is vertically installed on the outside of the first mounting plate 306. The second conveyor 302 is slidably connected to the first guide rod 307. The first connecting block 308 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first mounting plate 306. A third connecting block 311 is provided on the outside of the second conveyor 302, and a sliding groove is provided on the third connecting block 311. The middle part of the second connecting block 309 is rotatably installed on the first connecting block 308. The lower part of the second connecting block 309 is slidably connected to the sliding groove. One end of the first telescopic rod 310 is connected to the first mounting plate 306, and the other end of the first telescopic rod 310 is connected to one side of the second connecting block 309. The first guide rod 307 is used to limit the second conveyor 302, so that the second conveyor 302 can only move along the axis of the first guide rod 307. The second connecting block 309 can be deflected under the drive of the first telescopic rod 310, thereby driving the third connecting block 311 to move. The third connecting block 311 is provided with a sliding groove, so that the third connecting block 311 can counteract lateral movement and only move axially along the first guide rod 307. This achieves the effect of driving the second conveyor 302 to move laterally on the first guide rod 307 through the first telescopic rod 310. After the second conveyor 302 moves, the distance between the second conveyors 302 increases, allowing the cigarette sticks on the second conveyor 302 to fall freely onto the lifting support platform 303, achieving longitudinal stacking.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, a clamping plate 312 is provided on the inner side of the second conveyor 302. The clamping plate 312 is located below the second conveyor 302 and is parallel to the direction of movement of the second conveyor 302. When the second conveyor 302 unfolds and resets, the clamping plate 312 presses against both sides of the tobacco sticks, tidying them up and keeping them neatly arranged below the second conveyor 302, preventing them from becoming loose after being stacked in multiple layers. Since the clamping plate 312 occupies a certain amount of space, the conveyor belt on the second conveyor 302 needs to be equipped with driven wheels so that the conveyor belt passes over the clamping plate 312. The second conveyor 302 also has a partition in the middle of the conveyor belt to prevent the conveyor belts from colliding with each other during the cyclical movement. The partition provides support to hold the tobacco sticks.

[0026] Specifically, the second conveyor 302 is driven by a motor, and the motor's drive shaft has a keyway. The drive wheel 313 of the second conveyor 302 is slidably mounted on the drive shaft via a connecting key. The drive wheel has a circumferential groove, and the traversing mechanism 305 has rollers that extend radially into the grooves of the drive wheel. When the traversing mechanism 305 moves, the rollers can drive the drive wheel 313 to slide on the drive shaft, preventing the conveyor belt from detaching from the drive wheel 313. Due to the function of the keyway and the connecting key, the drive wheel 313 can ensure uninterrupted power during traversal.

[0027] Preferably, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the unpacking module 2 includes: a main swing arm 201, a connecting plate 202, and a secondary swing arm assembly 203. The middle part of the main swing arm 201 is rotatably mounted on the frame 5 below the carton storage module 1, and one end of the main swing arm 201 is connected to the frame 5 through a second telescopic rod 204. The other end of the main swing arm 201 is equipped with a slide rail 205. The lower part of the connecting plate 202 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 205, and the connecting plate 202 is connected to the main swing arm 201 through a third telescopic rod 206. Side plates 207 are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 202. The lower part of the secondary swing arm assembly 203 is connected to the side plates 207. Suction cups 217 are provided on the upper part of the side plates 207 and the end of the secondary swing arm assembly 203.

[0028] When the unpacking module 2 is working, the fifth telescopic rod 213 extends, causing the auxiliary swing arm body 214 to rotate parallel to the connecting plate 202, so as to prevent the auxiliary swing arm assembly 203 from colliding with the carton when picking up the carton. Then, the second telescopic rod 204 retracts, causing the main swing arm 201 to swing. After one end of the main swing arm 201 rotates, it tilts upward, so that the suction cup 217 on the side plate 207 contacts the carton in the carton storage module 1. Then, the air in the suction cup 217 is sucked away through the pipe, thereby stabilizing the carton. The release device in the carton storage module 1 releases the carton. Then, the second telescopic rod 204 extends, causing the main swing arm... When the main swing arm 201 rotates to a certain angle, the carton is flattened. Then, the fifth telescopic rod 213 retracts while the fourth telescopic rod 212 extends, causing the auxiliary swing arm body 214 to rotate 180°. This allows the suction cup 217 on the auxiliary swing arm body 214 to press against the carton. After air is drawn out through the negative pressure pipe, the suction cup 217 on the auxiliary swing arm body 214 holds the carton. Then, the fourth telescopic rod 212 retracts, causing the carton to rotate 90°, thus unfolding the carton. After the carton is unfolded, the second telescopic rod 204 continues to extend, causing the main swing arm 201 to rotate to a horizontal position, completing the carton retrieval and opening process. The main swing arm 201 opens the carton in an inclined position and then rotates to a horizontal position, effectively preventing interference between the carton and the sealing module during opening and avoiding damage to the carton.

[0029] Before picking up the carton, the third telescopic rod 206 is in an extended state, allowing the connecting plate 202 to slide on the slide rail 205, thereby adjusting the contact position between the suction cup 217 and the carton. This allows the packaging line to quickly adjust the equipment after changing to different sizes of packaging boxes, thus improving production efficiency.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, a first transmission block 208 is provided on the side plate 207. The upper part of the first transmission block 208 is hinged to the side plate 207. The lower part of the first transmission block 208 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped guide rail on the side plate 207 through the second guide rod 209. A third guide rod 210 is provided on the upper part of the side plate 207. Two first connecting rods 211 are connected between the second guide rod 209 and the third guide rod 210. The first connecting rod 211 is provided with an elongated hole. The first connecting rod 211 is slidably connected to the third guide rod 210 through the elongated hole. One end of the first connecting rod 211 is also hinged to the second guide rod 209. The two sides of the auxiliary swing arm assembly 203 are fixedly connected to the first connecting rods 211 respectively. A fourth telescopic rod 212 is provided on the connecting plate 202. The telescopic end of the fourth telescopic rod 212 is connected to one side of the first transmission block 208.

[0031] The lower part of the side plate 207 is fixed to the upper part of the connecting plate 202 by bolts, so that the side plate 207 and the connecting plate 202 form a "U"-shaped structure. The first transmission block 208 rotates between the side plates 207, thereby driving the auxiliary swing arm assembly 203 to rotate 90°, so that after the auxiliary swing arm assembly 203 picks up the carton, it swings to open the carton and complete the opening action. When the auxiliary swing arm assembly 203 swings, the first connecting rod 211 can also slide on the third guide rod 210 through the elongated hole while rotating, so that the auxiliary swing arm assembly 203 can be operated with a smaller first transmission block 208. The 90° rotation facilitates the miniaturization of the equipment. The trajectory at the end of the secondary swing arm assembly 4 is approximately circular, thereby causing the carton to unfold. After the fourth telescopic rod 212 extends, one end of the fourth telescopic rod 212 pushes the first transmission block 208, causing the first transmission block 208 to rotate around the hinge point, thereby causing the secondary swing arm assembly 203 to rotate. The secondary swing arm assembly 203 rotates first, causing the suction cup 217 to pick up the carton. Then the fourth telescopic rod 212 retracts, causing the secondary swing arm assembly 203 to rotate to a state perpendicular to the connecting plate 202, thereby causing the carton to unfold simultaneously through the suction cup, completing the opening action.

[0032] Preferably, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the auxiliary swing arm assembly 203 includes a fifth telescopic rod 213 and an auxiliary swing arm body 214. One end of the fifth telescopic rod 213 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 211, and the other end of the fifth telescopic rod 213 is provided with a second transmission block 215. The lower part of the second transmission block 215 is connected to the telescopic end of the fifth telescopic rod 213 through a third connecting rod 216. The auxiliary swing arm body 214 is fixedly connected to the second transmission block 215. When the suction cup picks up a carton from the carton storage module 1 after the main swing arm 201 swings, the fifth telescopic rod 213 extends and drives the second transmission block 215 to rotate 90° through the third connecting rod 216. At this time, the auxiliary swing arm assembly 203 is parallel to the connecting plate 202, thereby preventing the auxiliary swing arm body 214 from tilting upward and affecting the picking up of the carton. Through the cooperation of the fifth telescopic rod 213 and the fourth telescopic rod 212, the auxiliary swing arm body 214 can swing within a range of 180°. Compared with directly using a 180° rotating cylinder, the volume can be effectively reduced to facilitate the miniaturization of the equipment.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 14 , Figure 15As shown, the smoke pushing module 4 includes a push plate 401, a first guide rail 402, a support platform 403, and a telescopic chain assembly 405. The first guide rail 402 is mounted on the frame 5. A connecting seat 406 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 402. A lead screw 411 is provided in the middle of the first guide rail 402. The lead screw 411 is connected to the connecting seat 406 by a thread. A first drive motor 410 is provided at one end of the first guide rail 402. The first drive motor 410 is connected to the lead screw 411 through a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt. The connecting seat 406 is connected to the support platform 403 through a sleeve. A rack 407 is provided on the upper part of 402, and a fourth connecting rod 408 is provided on the connecting seat 406. The middle part of the fourth connecting rod 408 passes through the sleeve. The fourth connecting rod 408 is connected to the connecting seat 406 through a bearing. One end of the fourth connecting rod 408 is connected to the rack 407 through a gear. The other end of the fourth connecting rod 408 is connected to the telescopic chain assembly 405. The telescopic chain assembly 405 is installed on the support platform 403. The telescopic end of the telescopic chain assembly 405 is connected to the push plate 401, and the push plate 401 is also connected to the support platform 403 through the second guide rail 409. The cigarette pushing module 4 is used to push the stacked cigarette sticks into the unfolded cardboard box. When the cigarette pushing module 4 pushes the cigarette sticks, the first drive motor 410 drives the lead screw 411 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting seat 406 to slide on the first guide rail 402 through the lead screw 4116. The connecting seat 406 drives the support platform 403 and the telescopic chain assembly 405 to move through the sleeve. At the same time, due to the relative movement between the rack 407 and the fourth connecting rod 408, the fourth connecting rod is moved under the action of the rack 407 and the gear. 408 rotates, thereby driving the telescopic chain assembly 405, causing the chain in the telescopic chain assembly 405 to extend. The chain adopts a principle similar to that of the chain on an automatic filling machine. After the chain extends, it can push the push plate 401, which pushes the stacked cigarette sticks into the unfolded carton. The second guide rail 409 adopts a multi-segment structure, and the multiple segments of the second guide rail 409 can support each other, allowing the push plate 401 to slide in a straight line, thereby pushing the cigarette sticks into the carton.

[0034] Preferably, such as Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22As shown, a flaring module 8 is also provided between the cigarette pushing module 4 and the carton. The flaring module 8 includes a fixed platform 801, a sliding platform 802, a first guide plate 803, and a second guide plate 804. The fixed platform 801 is fixedly installed on the frame 5, and the sliding platform 802 is slidably installed on the frame 5. A sixth telescopic rod 805 is provided between the sliding platform 802 and the fixed platform 801. A rotating component 806 that is linked to each other is provided on the sliding platform 802. The first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 are installed on the rotating component 806. The flared module 8 mainly serves as a guide to facilitate the smooth pushing of the stacked cigarette packs into the carton. The rotating component 806 is installed on the outside of the sliding table 802, and the rotating components 806 are interconnected by universal joints. The first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 are installed behind the rotating component 806. When the sliding table 802 slides towards the carton, a connecting rod can force one section of the rotating component 806 to rotate, thereby driving all the rotating components 806 to rotate, so that the first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 are in an unfolded state, guiding the cigarette packs into the carton. Then, the sliding table 802 slides away from the carton, pulling the first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 out of the carton. Subsequently, under the action of the connecting rod, the rotating component 806 rotates, so that the first guide plate 803 and the second guide plate 804 are in a retracted state, so that the carton can move on the push-box module 6.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 16 , Figure 17 As shown, the push box module 6 includes an electric slide rail 601, a guide plate 602, a slider 603, and a linkage mechanism 604. The electric slide rail 601 and the guide plate 602 are mounted on the frame 5, the slider 603 is mounted on the electric slide rail 601, the guide plate 602 has a guide groove on its side, the lower end of the linkage mechanism 604 is hinged to the slider 603, and one side of the linkage mechanism 604 is slidably mounted in the guide groove through a roller. The electric slide rail 601 drives the slider 603 to slide, and the slider 603 drives the linkage mechanism 604 to slide synchronously. Since the guide plate 602 has a guide groove on its side, when the linkage mechanism 604 slides through the slider 603, the linkage mechanism 604 slides in the guide groove, causing the end of the linkage mechanism 604 to rise when pushing the carton and fall when retracting, so that the carton can only move on one side. The end of the linkage mechanism 604 is provided with a push block, which can increase the contact area between the linkage mechanism 604 and the carton and prevent the top of the carton from being deformed. The linkage mechanism 604 slides on the guide plate 602 through the push block, pushing the carton to move along the direction of the guide plate 602. The operation flow of the carton pushing module 6 is as follows: after the carton is opened, the cylinder below the sealing mechanism on the non-stacked side extends to seal the carton. After the cigarette pack is pushed into the carton, the cylinder below the sealing mechanism on the stacked side extends to seal the carton. Then the carton pushing module pushes the carton to the tape reel module for sealing, while the cylinders below the sealing mechanisms on both sides retract.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 18 , Figure 19 As shown, the sealing module 7 includes a first folding assembly 701 and a second folding assembly 702. The lower part of the first folding assembly 701 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the pushing module 6 via guide rails, and the first folding assembly 701 is connected to the frame 5 via a seventh telescopic rod 703. The first folding assembly 701 is provided with a fixed folding guide strip 704 and a movable folding guide strip 705. The fixed folding guide strip 704 is fixedly installed on the first folding assembly 701. The first folding assembly 701 is provided with a pulley and a belt. One end of the movable folding guide strip 705 is connected to the belt. The middle part of the second folding assembly 702 is rotatably installed on both sides of the pushing module 6, and the middle part of the second folding assembly 702 is also connected to the frame 5 via an eighth telescopic rod 706. The carton has a large side and a small side on its open side. The sealing module 7 is used to fold the large side and the small side of the carton. After the first folding component 701 slides on the frame 5 via the seventh telescopic rod 703, the movable folding guide bar 705 moves longitudinally. After the small side of the folding carton is folded by the second folding component 702 and the fixed folding guide bar 704, the pulley and belt inside the first folding component 701 drive the movable folding guide bar 705 to move, folding the large side of the folding carton. The sealing module 7 is equipped with a tape reel assembly. When the carton passes through the tape reel assembly, the tape reel assembly sticks tape to the carton, securing it firmly, realizing automated packaging, and facilitating the transfer of cigarette packs.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the carton storage module 1 and the carton opening module 2 can be replaced by a robotic arm loading module. By setting a device with suction and opening functions at the end of the robotic arm, the robotic arm can pick up and open the cartons on the pallet and place them on the packing station, simplifying the equipment and further miniaturizing the equipment.

[0038] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
