Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a cigarette box edge device. Background Art
[0002] During daily warehousing operations in the finished product warehouse of a cigarette factory, the finished cigarette boxes are sorted by the sorting line and then sent to various robot sorting intersections and the waiting area. However, the finished cigarette boxes will be skewed or tilted to one side after being sorted by the sorting wheels. Therefore, the cigarette boxes need to be moved to the side to ensure that the cigarette boxes are in the correct position after entering the waiting area. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model proposes a cigarette box side-pushing device, which makes the cigarette boxes lean to the same side during transportation, with a unified orientation, which is convenient for subsequent robot grasping operations.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] A cigarette box side device, the structural features of which are:
[0006] It is used for conveying cigarette boxes, including a roller conveyor and a belt mechanism. The conveying direction of the roller conveyor is from back to front, and the conveying rollers are arranged obliquely and equidistantly from back to front. The belt mechanism is arranged outside the right side of the roller conveyor, independent of the roller conveyor, and conveys in the same direction and at the same speed as the roller conveyor. It includes a driving pulley, a driven pulley, a conveying belt wound between the driving pulley and the driven pulley, and a driving device for driving the driving pulley to rotate. The conveying belt is sideways, and its long direction is parallel to the conveying direction of the roller conveyor. The belt surface on the left side is cantilevered just above the right side outer edge of each conveying roller, leaving a vertical gap between the conveying surface of the roller conveyor, and the angle between the belt and the conveying roller along the horizontal plane toward the rear side is an acute angle.
[0007] The structural features of the utility model also lie in:
[0008] When a single cigarette box is placed on the conveying surface of the roller conveyor, a gap is left between the outer edges of both sides of the conveying surface in the left and right directions.
[0009] The belt surface width of the conveyor belt is not less than half the height of the cigarette box conveyed by the roller conveyor.
[0010] The cigarette box is a finished cigarette box after sorting on the sorting line, which is transported to the waiting area through the roller conveyor and is grabbed by a robot arranged in the waiting area. The belt mechanism is located upstream of the waiting area and has a distance between it and the waiting area along the conveying direction.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are embodied in:
[0012] The utility model uses a low-cost solution to solve the technical problem that the finished cigarette boxes are skewed or biased to one side after being sorted by the sorting wheel. A belt mechanism is arranged on one side of the roller conveyor used for conveying the cigarette boxes, and the belt surface is turned sideways so that the long direction of the belt surface is parallel to the conveying direction of the roller conveyor. The belt surface facing the roller conveyor side is cantilevered directly above the outer edge of the corresponding side of each conveying roller, and the angle between the belt surface and the conveying roller along the horizontal plane facing the rear side is set to be an acute angle, so that the cigarette box gradually moves closer to the belt surface when passing through the belt mechanism, and the contact between the running conveying belt and the cigarette box is used to keep the direction of the cigarette box from being skewed during this process, so that the cigarette boxes are leaning to the same side. The cigarette boxes with unified orientation can provide convenience for subsequent operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] In the figure, 1 is roller conveyor; 2 is driving pulley; 3 is driven pulley; 4 is conveying belt. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0016] Please refer to Figure 1 The cigarette box side device of this embodiment is used for conveying cigarette boxes, and includes a roller conveyor 1 and a belt mechanism. The conveying direction of the roller conveyor 1 is from back to front, and each conveying roller is arranged obliquely and arranged at equal intervals from back to front. The belt mechanism is arranged outside the right side of the roller conveyor 1, independent of the roller conveyor 1, and conveys in the same direction and at the same speed as the roller conveyor 1, including a driving pulley 2, a driven pulley 3, a conveying belt 4 wound between the driving pulley 2 and the driven pulley 3, and a driving device for driving the driving pulley 2 to rotate. The conveying belt 4 is sideways, and its long direction is parallel to the conveying direction of the roller conveyor 1. The belt surface on the left side is suspended just above the right outer edge of each conveying roller, and a gap is left vertically between the conveying surface of the roller conveyor 1, and the angle between the conveying belt 4 and the conveying roller along the horizontal plane toward the rear side is an acute angle.
[0017] In the specific implementation, the corresponding structural settings also include:
[0018] When a single cigarette box is placed on the conveying surface of the roller conveyor 1, a gap is left between the outer edges of both sides of the conveying surface in the left-right direction.
[0019] The belt surface width of the conveying belt 4 is not less than half the height of the cigarette box conveyed by the roller conveyor 1.
[0020] The cigarette box is a finished cigarette box after sorting on the sorting line. It is transported to the waiting area through the roller conveyor 1 and is grabbed by a robot set in the waiting area. The belt mechanism is located upstream of the waiting area and has a distance between it and the waiting area along the conveying direction.
[0021] The driving device of the belt mechanism can be a motor, which drives the active pulley to rotate.
[0022] The specific angle of the angle between the belt surface of the conveyor belt and the conveyor roller along the horizontal plane toward the rear side can be set according to the specifications and types of the conveyed cigarette boxes.
[0023] In current production, finished cigarette boxes are sorted by the sorting line and then sent to various robot sorting paths and the waiting area. However, the finished cigarette boxes will be skewed or tilted to one side after being sorted by the sorting wheel. The cigarette box side device of this embodiment is used to make the cigarette box sideways to ensure that the cigarette box is in the correct position after entering the waiting area. The specific working principle is as follows:
[0024] When the cigarette boxes are transported from the back to the front by the roller conveyor, they pass through the conveying area with the belt mechanism. Because the angle between the belt surface of the conveying belt and the conveying roller along the horizontal plane toward the rear side is an acute angle, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cigarette box will gradually move closer to the belt surface, and the contact between the running conveyor belt and the cigarette box will be used to keep the direction of the cigarette box from being skewed during this process.
[0025] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
