Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of a cigarette jam prevention mechanism for a tobacco logistics special-shaped cigarette sorting line, in particular to a cigarette jam prevention mechanism for a tobacco logistics special-shaped cigarette sorting line. Background Art

[0002] After the cigarette strips are sorted, they need to be transported to a certain location. The applicant found that a device used in tobacco logistics sorting equipment (a special-shaped cigarette sorting line anti-jamming mechanism device with model number zjxrg-D16 produced by Zhengzhou Zhengyuan Industrial Co., Ltd.) has a disadvantage:

[0003] One of the conveying sections of the equipment is Figure 1 As shown, on the right side of the transfer conveyor 30, there are the first conveyor 10 and the second conveyor 20. The position of the feed port of the transfer conveyor 30 can be adjusted under the action of the cylinder 40, so that the cigarettes on the first conveyor 10 and the second conveyor 20 can enter the transfer conveyor 30 in batches, and a second counting sensor 21 is installed below the end of the discharge port of the first conveyor 10. The second counting sensor 21 is used to detect the number of cigarettes passing through the discharge port of the second conveyor 20, thereby sending a control signal to the controller to drive the cylinder 40 to adjust the position of the transfer conveyor 30, so that the feed port of the transfer conveyor 30 is adjusted from the discharge port position of the second conveyor 20 to the discharge port position of the first conveyor 10. In this case, the following phenomenon will occur: that is, assuming that 10 cigarettes are placed in sequence at the feed end position of 20 (the cigarettes need to be in a 2-1 / 2-inch shape according to regulations), the second counting sensor 21 is used to detect the number of cigarettes passing through the discharge port of the second conveyor 20, thereby sending a control signal to the controller to drive the cylinder 40 to adjust the position of the transfer conveyor 30. Figure 1 Theoretically, when the second counting sensor 21 detects the 10th cigarette, it will send a signal to the controller to drive the cylinder 40 to work. However, when the sorting staff is working, the cigarettes may not be placed neatly. Figure 1 When the middle cigarette b is placed in a certain posture (i.e., the cigarette b is placed longitudinally), when the second counting sensor 21 detects the last longitudinally placed cigarette b, the driving cylinder 40 will start the control 31 to lift and change the position of the feed port within a short period of time, and the second conveyor belt 20 will stop driving. At this time, the last cigarette b may not have completely entered the transfer conveyor belt 30, which will cause the cigarette b to be stuck between the transfer conveyor belt 30 and the first conveyor belt 10, resulting in damage to the cigarette b. Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the device designs a cigarette factory packaging machine anti-cigarette jamming mechanism. Utility Model Content
