Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a cleaning device for cigarette production equipment, in particular to a cigarette box top cover blowing device. Background Art
[0002] In the cigarette industry, cigarette boxes are often used to store tobacco. Empty cigarette boxes are transported to the packing station by conveyors. The automatic robot arm uses vacuum suction cups to remove the top cover, quantitatively load tobacco, and add the top cover before packing. After packing, the cigarette boxes are stored in the tobacco warehouse. Due to the dusty production environment of the packing station, dust easily accumulates on the box cover. When the automatic robot arm absorbs the top cover of the cigarette box, the dust on the top cover leads to a low success rate of absorption, and the suction cup inhaling too much dust can easily damage the components.

[0015] The following is a detailed description of an embodiment of the utility model. This embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the utility model, and a detailed implementation method and a specific operation process are given, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the following embodiment.
[0016] See also Figures 1 to 3The present embodiment discloses a top cover purging device for a cigarette box 1. A plurality of conveyors connected in sequence are arranged at the exit side of the packing station. Each conveyor includes a conveying channel formed by a conveyor belt 2. The conveying direction of the conveying channel is from back to front. The purging device includes a plurality of purging units 3. The plurality of purging units 3 are arranged one by one above the conveying channels of the plurality of conveyors. Each purging unit 3 includes a photoelectric switch 4 and a blowing pipe 5. The photoelectric switch 4 and the blowing pipe 5 are respectively mounted on a frame 12 of the packing station and are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction. The photoelectric switch 4 is diffuse. Reflective photoelectric switch 4, photoelectric switch 4 is installed on the frame 12 of the packing station through a Z-shaped bracket 6, photoelectric switch 4 is installed with Z-shaped bracket 6 through two parallel nuts 7, and Z-shaped bracket 6 is installed on the frame 12 of the packing station by screw connection; the axial direction of the blowing pipe 5 extends along the width direction of the conveying channel, and a plurality of blowing holes 8 are opened at the rear lower part of the blowing pipe 5, and the blowing holes 8 are arranged in a row along the axial direction of the blowing pipe 5, and a connecting section 9 is provided in the middle section of the upper front part of the blowing pipe 5, and the connecting section 9 of the blowing pipe 5 is connected to the compressed air through the air pipe.
