[0021] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a cigarette box transfer and conveying system, which reduces the labor intensity of staff, improves the conveying efficiency of cigarette boxes, and can conveniently convey and separate cigarette boxes of different specifications and brands.

[0022] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See also Figure 1 The cigarette box transfer and conveying system includes a double-layer conveying roller 1, a cigarette box tray conveying and lifting mechanism 2, and a cigarette box reversing mechanism 3; the cigarette box tray conveying and lifting mechanism 2 is provided with three, and the three cigarette box tray conveying and lifting mechanisms 2 are arranged in parallel on one side of the double-layer conveying roller 1 cigarette box, and are located between the manipulator for grabbing the cigarette box and the double-layer conveying roller 1. The double-layer conveying roller 1 is a double-layer roller mechanism controlled and operated by different driving mechanisms. The cigarette box reversing mechanism 3 is divided into a cigarette box upper reversing mechanism and a cigarette box lower reversing mechanism. The upper and lower reversing mechanisms of the cigarette box and the lower reversing mechanism of the cigarette box are respectively installed on the upper and lower conveying rollers of the double-layer conveying roller 1, and are arranged one by one with the three cigarette box tray conveying and lifting mechanisms 2, and their reversing pushing directions are toward the cigarette box tray conveying and lifting mechanisms 2; the upper reversing mechanism of the cigarette box and the lower reversing mechanism of the cigarette box are respectively controlled to rise and fall vertically by the upper reversing lifting cylinder of the cigarette box and the lower reversing lifting cylinder of the cigarette box, and the upper reversing lifting cylinder of the cigarette box is installed on both sides of the double-layer conveying roller 1, which does not affect the conveying of the lower roller of the double-layer conveying roller 1.

[0024] During operation, a pallet fully loaded with cigarette boxes is conveyed from one end of the double-layer conveying roller 1 through the double-layer conveying roller 1 to the installation position of the cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism 2. The upper layer reversing mechanism of the cigarette box is lifted by the upper layer reversing lifting cylinder of the cigarette box, and the pallet fully loaded with cigarette boxes is conveyed to the cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism 2. The upper layer reversing mechanism of the cigarette box descends to avoid affecting the conveying of the cigarette boxes behind. After the manipulator takes the cigarette box away, the cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism 2 drives the empty pallet to descend to the same height as the lower layer roller of the double-layer conveying roller 1. The lower layer reversing mechanism of the cigarette box is controlled to rise through the lower layer reversing lifting cylinder of the cigarette box. The cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism 2 cooperates with the lower layer reversing mechanism of the cigarette box to convey the empty pallet to the lower layer roller of the double-layer conveying roller 1. The lower layer reversing mechanism of the cigarette box descends, and the empty pallet is returned through the lower layer roller of the double-layer conveying roller 1.

[0025] The two stations of the three cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism can select three brands of cigarette boxes, or single brand or double brand cigarette boxes. In the case of three brands, each pallet has one cigarette box specification. When the cigarette boxes at each station are opened, the cigarette boxes of the cigarette box brand of this station will be replenished from the upper conveying channel. If it is a double brand, then two of the stations are one brand, and the other is one brand. When one of the brands of the two stations is opened, the cigarette box of this brand will be opened at the other station. After the cigarette box of this station is opened, the cigarette box of the other station that replenished the cigarette box will be opened. After the cigarette box of a single brand is opened, it is necessary to wait for the empty pallet to be transported away from the lower layer and the cigarette box to be replenished on the upper layer before the robot arm will continue to grab the cigarette box. For a single brand, when the No. 1 cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism station 2 has been opened, the robot will grab the cigarette box at the No. 2 cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism station 2. After the cigarette box at station No. 2 has been opened, if the No. 1 cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism station 2 has been replenished, it will continue to grab the cigarette box at the No. 1 cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism station 2; if the No. 1 cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism station 2 has not been replenished, it will grab the cigarette box at the No. 3 cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism station 2.

[0026] In some embodiments, the upper roller of the double-layer conveying roller 1 is a bidirectional conveying roller controlled by two contactors, and the lower roller is a unidirectional conveying roller controlled by a single contactor.

[0027] When working, the upper roller of the double-layer conveying roller 1 can realize forward conveying or return conveying, and the lower roller of the double-layer conveying roller 1 completes the return conveying of the empty pallet by unidirectional conveying.

[0028] In some embodiments, the cigarette box tray conveying and lifting mechanism 2 is provided with two sensors for controlling the lifting height of the cigarette box tray conveying and lifting mechanism 2 , and the lifting heights controlled by the two sensors correspond to the heights of the upper roller and the lower roller of the double-layer conveying roller 1 , respectively.

[0029] During operation, the height of the cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism 2 is controlled by detecting through sensors, so that the height of the cigarette box pallet conveying and lifting mechanism 2 cooperates with the upper roller, lower roller, upper reversing mechanism of the cigarette box and lower reversing mechanism of the double-layer conveying roller 1 to convey the cigarette boxes and return the empty pallets.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figure 2The cigarette box tray conveying and lifting mechanism 2 includes a base 21, a fork lifting bracket 22, a lifting drive motor 23, a lifting drive chain 24, a lifting roller 25, and a lifting roller driving mechanism 26. A slide rail is arranged at one end of the upper surface of the base 21. The fork lifting bracket 22 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 21. One end of the bottom of the two fork lifting brackets 22 is hinged to the base 21, and the other end is slidably installed on the slide rail, and one end of the two fork lifting brackets 22 arranged on the slide rail is connected by a coupling. The lifting drive motor 23 and the lifting drive chain 24 are installed on the base 21, and the lifting drive chain 24 is driven by the lifting drive motor 23. The lifting drive chain 24 is arranged parallel to the slide rail, and the coupling is fixedly connected to the lifting drive chain 24 and moves with the movement of the lifting drive chain 24. A lifting roller 25 is installed on the top of the fork lifting bracket 22, and the lifting roller 25 is driven to run by the lifting roller driving mechanism 26.

[0031] During operation, the lifting drive motor 23 drives the lifting drive chain 24 to drive the bottom end of the fork-type lifting bracket 22 to slide on the slide rail, thereby driving the fork-type lifting bracket 22 to control the lifting and lowering of the lifting roller 25, and the lifting roller driving mechanism 26 drives the operation of the lifting roller 25.

[0032] In some embodiments, the lifting drive motor 23 is connected to two lifting drive chains 24 through a converter, the two lifting drive chains 24 are arranged in parallel and symmetrically, and the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the two lifting drive chains 24 respectively.

[0033] During operation, the two lifting drive chains 24 are arranged in parallel and symmetrically, which improves the stability of the fork-type lifting bracket 22 sliding on the slide rail and ensures the smooth operation of the lifting roller 25.
