Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a handover positioning tool for a cigarette-making machine manipulator, belonging to the technical field of cigarette-making machines. Background Art

[0002] At present, the PROTOS-M8 cigarette making machine is the most advanced and fastest cigarette making machine in the world, with a production speed of 20,000 cigarettes per minute. It has a high degree of automation and requires extremely high adjustment accuracy of the equipment. The PROTOS-M8 cigarette making machine is a dual-channel cigarette rod forming structure. The double-width cigarette paper delivered from the BOB equipment is cut and separated into two cigarette papers, which are respectively combined with the tobacco bundle to form a roll. After being cut by the rotating trumpet-mouth cutter, the robot grabs the double-length cigarette and hands it over to the filter tip assembler. The handover speed reaches 10,000 cigarettes per minute, which is extremely fast and requires high positioning of the handover position. Inaccurate positioning will cause failures such as flying cigarette rods and clogging of the washboard, increasing the equipment downtime rate. When the SE manipulator and the MAX receiving drum wheel hand over double cigarettes, there is a fixed handover position. When the manipulator's horizontal speed is "0", it is also the horizontal limit position of the left suction claw of the manipulator, commonly known as the farthest end. The receiving drum wheel just sucks the double cigarettes from the manipulator and enters the process production flow of the MAX receiving machine. At this handover position, the horizontal misalignment distance of the two suction claws on the far right of the manipulator is 6 mm. Similarly, when locating the handover position, accurately locating the horizontal misalignment distance of the two suction claws on the far right will locate the handover position between the manipulator and the receiving drum wheel. The accuracy of the handover position positioning directly affects whether the equipment can be produced normally. The manufacturer also attaches great importance to this and has specially made positioning tooling for precise positioning for the adjustment of the handover position.

[0003] The existing positioning tooling is a split structure. When positioning the suction claw, that is, calibrating the handover position, the personnel first use a hand to turn the manipulator to make the manipulator rotate to an approximate position, and then take the positioning tooling to check the positioning. Since it is a split tooling, it is necessary to hold the tooling with both hands to check the position during operation. If the position is inaccurate, turn the manipulator again and check again. Repeat the action until the position meets the requirements and then use the positioning tooling to adjust the position of the suction claw. At the same time, since it is necessary to turn the manipulator and operate the assembly positioning tooling, it is very difficult, the positioning accuracy will be affected, and it requires the cooperation of multiple people to work. When the equipment is running, the double cigarette rods are not smoothly handed over, which will cause two other problems. One is that the cigarettes fly out of the drum groove when receiving, and the other is that the cigarette rods are misaligned when entering the receiving drum. It is easy to cause quality defects when entering the floating ring to straighten the cigarettes, and it will also cause the washboard to block and stop. There is a large gap between the filter and the filter, causing defective cigarettes. In addition, due to the difficulty of operation, it takes a long time to adjust the handover position. It takes more than three hours to adjust once, which is very inefficient. At present, due to the low accuracy and time-consuming adjustment of the handover position, the equipment maintenance efficiency has not been high, the labor intensity of maintenance personnel is very high, and the equipment operation efficiency is very slow.

[0004] In summary, in the prior art, when positioning the suction claw of the robot of the PROTOS-M8 cigarette making machine, the positioning tooling used is usually a split structure, which is not convenient for the staff to adjust the suction claw of the robot and easily affects the accuracy, thereby affecting the working efficiency and practicality of the device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a handover positioning tool for a cigarette making machine manipulator, so as to solve the problem that when the suction claw of the cigarette making machine manipulator performs positioning work, the positioning tool used is usually a split structure, which is inconvenient for the staff to adjust the suction claw of the manipulator and easily affects the accuracy.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model provides a handover positioning tool for a cigarette making machine manipulator, comprising a positioning plate, a groove is provided at the middle position of one side of an outer wall of the positioning plate, and a guide mechanism is vertically provided at the bottom of the positioning plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide mechanism comprises a bottom plate, a guide rail is provided on the top of the bottom plate, and a guide block matching the guide rail is integrally connected to the bottom of the positioning plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of the guide rails is two and they are distributed on both sides of the top of the base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, when the guide block is completely located inside the guide rail, the groove and the positioning plate are perpendicular to the bottom plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the positioning plate is made of stainless steel.

[0012] Furthermore, the width of the top of the inner wall of the groove is 6 mm.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The cigarette making machine manipulator handover positioning tooling cooperates with the positioning plate, the groove and the guide mechanism. The positioning plate of the present application is an integrated structure. When using the positioning plate, there is no need to assemble it separately. Therefore, when positioning the suction claws, the staff can turn the manipulator with one hand and control the positioning plate to contact the two suction claws with the other hand, which is convenient for a single person to position the suction claws and ensures work efficiency. In addition, the offset distance between the outer wall of the positioning plate and the inner wall of the groove is fixed, which improves the accuracy of positioning the suction claws and ensures the working effect of the device.

Therefore, features defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a cigarette making machine robot handover positioning tooling, including a positioning plate 1, a groove 2 is provided at the middle position of one side of the outer wall of the positioning plate 1, a guide mechanism is vertically provided at the bottom of the positioning plate 1, and the guide mechanism includes a bottom plate 3, a guide rail 4 is provided on the top of the bottom plate 3, and a guide block 5 matching the guide rail 4 is integrally connected to the bottom of the positioning plate 1.

[0025] Specifically, when it is necessary to position the suction claws on the manipulator, first fix the bottom plate 3 to one side of the manipulator and ensure that the bottom plate 3 is parallel to the ground. When working, while rotating the manipulator, place the guide block 5 on the positioning plate 1 vertically on the guide rail 4 to ensure that the positioning plate 1 and the bottom plate 3 are perpendicular to each other, and the groove 2 is close to the side of the suction claw. Rotate the manipulator with one hand and push the positioning plate 1 toward the two suction claws with the other hand. The guide rail 4 guides the guide block 5 until the suction claw at the bottom contacts the inner wall of the groove 2 and the suction claw at the top contacts the outer wall of the positioning plate 1. Figure 1-2As shown, the two suction claws are accurately positioned with a 6mm offset, ensuring that the left suction claw of the robot reaches the limit position. When the horizontal speed is "0", it is exactly at the intersection with the receiving drum. The calibration process is very fast and accurate. It takes less than half an hour to position all the suction claws, which saves a lot of time compared to the previous three hours.

[0026] The utility model cooperates with the positioning plate 1, the groove 2 and the guide mechanism. Different from the split structure of the prior art, the positioning plate 1 of the present application is an integrated structure. When using the positioning plate 1, there is no need to assemble it separately, so that when positioning the suction claws, the staff can turn the manipulator with one hand and control the positioning plate 1 with the other hand to contact the two suction claws, which is convenient for one person to position the suction claws and ensures work efficiency. In addition, the outer wall of the positioning plate 1 and the inner wall of the groove 2 are fixed at a fixed offset distance, which improves the accuracy of positioning the suction claws and ensures the working effect of the device.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the number of the guide rails 4 is two and they are distributed on both sides of the top of the base plate 3. According to actual work requirements, the positioning plate 1 can be placed in different guide rails 4 for movement, so as to perform positioning work on both sides of the suction claws, thereby ensuring the practicability of the device.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment, when the guide block 5 is completely located on the inner side of the guide rail 4, the groove 2 and the positioning plate 1 are perpendicular to the bottom plate 3, ensuring that the positioning plate 1 and the bottom plate 3 are perpendicular to each other to ensure the stability when positioning the suction claw; optionally, the guide block 5 is an arc block.

[0029] In one embodiment, the positioning plate 1 is made of stainless steel. Similarly, different types of materials can be used according to actual work needs, such as aluminum alloy; the width of the top of the inner wall of the groove 2 is 6 mm to ensure that the outer wall of the positioning plate 1 above the groove 2 and the inner wall of the groove 2 are offset by 6 mm, which can be adjusted according to actual work needs; the thickness of the positioning plate 1 is 7.8 mm.

[0030] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
