Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tobacco equipment, in particular to a lifting and lowering mechanism for a whole box of cigarette packages. Background Art

[0002] When finished boxed cigarettes are inspected before leaving the factory, it may be found that the plastic film of the finished boxed cigarettes is wrinkled, dirty, contains tobacco shreds, has uneven edges, and other finished boxed cigarettes (abbreviated as cigarette packs) that do not meet the factory requirements. However, the cigarette packs contain cigarettes that have passed the previous process inspection. If the cigarette packs that are rejected are discarded simply because of poor outer packaging, the scrap rate will be high and a large amount of various cigarette raw and auxiliary materials will be wasted. Therefore, such cigarette packs need to be unpacked and the cigarettes with intact quality after unpacking need to be collected. This process cannot meet the needs by manual operation alone. Before using relevant equipment for splitting and screening, the cigarette packs to be processed need to be transported to the corresponding location to cooperate with the cigarette pack splitting action. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a mechanism for lifting and lowering a whole box of cigarette packs, so as to realize automatic loading of cigarette packs and prepare for splitting of cigarette packs.

[0005] A transfer platform and a Z-direction moving mechanism are also fixed in the frame. A transfer port for a single cigarette package to pass through is provided on the transfer platform. The transfer port faces the conveying support plate below. A moving block capable of moving up and down is provided on the Z-direction moving mechanism. A moving cylinder arranged in the front and rear horizontal directions is installed on the moving block. A moving part capable of grabbing and placing the cigarette package is fixed at the telescopic end of the moving cylinder.

[0006] Preferably, a hopper is further provided on the upper part of the frame, the transfer platform is installed at the rear position of the top of the hopper, a sliding track is provided under the hopper, and the sliding track extends out of the frame.

[0007] Preferably, a hopper is provided on the side of the frame, the transfer platform is installed above the main table, and the size of the transfer platform is consistent with that of the main table. A lifting conveyor belt capable of transporting cigarette packages from a low place to the transfer platform is provided in the hopper.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of rows of evenly arranged cigarette pack baffles are provided on the lifting conveyor belt, and a single row of cigarette pack baffles extends in a front-to-rear horizontal direction.

[0009] Preferably, the distance between baffles of two adjacent rows of cigarette packs is greater than the width of the cigarette packs and less than the height of the cigarette packs.

[0010] Preferably, the grabbing member moves up and down relative to the main table through the Z-direction transmission mechanism, the Z-direction transmission mechanism moves left and right relative to the main table through the X-direction transmission mechanism, and the X-direction transmission mechanism moves forward and backward relative to the main table through the Y-direction transmission mechanism.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a lifting and lowering mechanism for a whole box of cigarette packs of the utility model comprises a frame 1, a main table 11 is fixed inside the frame 1, a cigarette pack splitting space is provided above the main table 11, and a conveying support plate 15 is provided on the main table 11; a grabbing member 21 capable of grabbing a single cigarette pack is provided above the main table 11, and the grabbing member 21 can move in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction through an X-direction transmission mechanism 22, a Y-direction transmission mechanism 23, and a Z-direction transmission mechanism 24, respectively. Here, the X direction refers to the left and right horizontal direction, the Y direction refers to the front and back horizontal direction, and the Z direction refers to the up and down direction. In this embodiment, the grabbing member 21 adopts a vacuum suction cup. In other embodiments, the grabbing member 21 can also adopt other components capable of grabbing and placing cigarette packs.

[0021] A transfer platform 25 and a Z-direction moving mechanism 26 are also fixed in the frame 1. A transfer port for a single cigarette package to pass through is opened on the transfer platform 25, and the transfer port is opposite to the conveying support plate 15 below. The Z-direction moving mechanism 26 can adopt a transmission form such as a rodless cylinder, a slide cylinder or a screw transmission mechanism. A moving block 261 capable of moving up and down is provided on the Z-direction moving mechanism 26. A moving cylinder 262 arranged in the front and rear horizontal direction is installed on the moving block 261. A moving member 263 capable of grasping and placing cigarette packages is fixed at the telescopic end of the moving cylinder 262. In this embodiment, the moving member 263 and the grabbing member 21 have the same function, and a vacuum suction cup can be used, or other components capable of grasping and placing cigarette packages, such as a mechanical claw, can be used.

[0022] When the utility model realizes the function of lifting and lowering cigarette packages, a single cigarette package can be directly moved to the conveying support plate 15 at the main table 11 by the grasping member 21, and the grasping and transfer can be performed by adjusting the position of the grasping member 21 in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction. Alternatively, a Z-direction moving mechanism 26 and a transfer platform 25 can be additionally provided. The transfer platform 25 temporarily stores a single cigarette package grabbed from the hopper 27. The Z-direction moving mechanism 26 utilizes the telescopic movement of the moving cylinder 262 and the up and down movement of the moving block 261, and grasps a single cigarette package through the moving member 263 and transfers it from the upper transfer platform 25 to the lower conveying support plate 15. Compared with the working condition of completing the transfer directly by the grasping member 21, it is more conducive to shortening the operation time of a single process and improving the overall work efficiency.

[0023] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a hopper 27 is also provided on the upper part of the frame 1, and the transfer platform 25 is installed at the rear position of the top of the hopper 27. A sliding track 28 is provided below the hopper 27, and the sliding track 28 extends out of the frame 1. The hopper 27 can be taken out through the sliding track 28 to add cigarette packs to be split and screened into it.

[0024] In another embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a hopper 27 is provided on the side of the frame 1, and the transfer platform 25 is installed above the main table 11, and the size of the table surface of the transfer platform 25 is consistent with the size of the table surface of the main table 11. A lifting conveyor belt 29 is provided in the hopper 27, which can transport cigarette packages from a low place to the transfer platform 25.

[0025] Furthermore, as one of the embodiments of the utility model, a plurality of rows of evenly arranged cigarette pack baffles 291 are provided on the lifting conveyor belt 29, and a single row of cigarette pack baffles 291 extends in the front-to-rear horizontal direction. The single row of cigarette pack baffles 291 can be a long board or a plurality of short boards arranged at intervals.

[0026] Furthermore, as one of the embodiments of the utility model, the distance between two adjacent rows of cigarette pack baffles 291 is greater than the width of the cigarette pack and less than the height of the cigarette pack, so that the cigarette packs can be lifted upward from the hopper 27 in a unified direction, which is beneficial to the consistency of subsequent detection.

[0027] Further, as one of the embodiments of the utility model, the grabbing member 21 moves up and down relative to the main table 11 through the Z-direction transmission mechanism 24, the Z-direction transmission mechanism 24 moves left and right relative to the main table 11 through the X-direction transmission mechanism 22, and the X-direction transmission mechanism 22 moves forward and backward relative to the main table 11 through the Y-direction transmission mechanism 23. The Y-direction transmission mechanism 23 is installed on the top of the frame 1, the X-direction transmission mechanism 22 is installed on the Y-direction transmission mechanism 23, and the Z-direction transmission mechanism 24 is installed on the X-direction transmission mechanism 22. The X-direction transmission mechanism 22, the Y-direction transmission mechanism 23, and the Z-direction transmission mechanism 24 can adopt transmission forms such as rodless cylinders, slide cylinders or screw transmission mechanisms.

[0028] Furthermore, as one of the embodiments of the present utility model, a steering drive member for driving the grabbing member 21 to rotate is also installed on the Z-axis transmission mechanism 24. The steering drive member can be a motor. The steering drive member can be coordinated with a camera for detecting the direction of the cigarette pack to adjust the cigarette pack into a uniform direction before splitting, such as the mouthpieces of the cigarettes are all facing the front, to facilitate the unification of detection standards in the subsequent cigarette classification and screening process.

[0029] The above embodiments do not impose any formal restrictions on the shape, material, structure, etc. of the utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the utility model are within the protection scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
