[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the utility model, the solution will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a gantry for loading cigarette boxes, which includes a gantry body, a slide rail 9, a slide seat 7, a visual inspection device 8, a controller 3, a lifting mechanism and a coding device 16. The gantry body includes two vertically arranged vertical beams and a horizontally arranged cross beam 11, and the two ends of the cross beam 11 are respectively connected to the upper ends of the two vertical beams. The slide rail 9 is horizontally arranged on the cross beam, and the slide seat is slidably arranged on the slide rail. The visual inspection device is arranged on the front side of the slide seat; a monitoring probe 17 is arranged on the visual inspection device, and the controller 3 is arranged on the vertical beam; the upper end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the bottom of the cross beam 11, and the lower end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the coding device 16. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the coding device to move up and down in the vertical direction, and the visual inspection device, the lifting mechanism and the coding device are electrically connected to the controller respectively.

[0029] The gantry for loading cigarette boxes provided in the embodiment of the utility model can identify the number of cigarette boxes transported under the gantry body through the monitoring probe 17 when in use. When the number of cigarette boxes decreases, a signal will be sent to the controller, so that the controller sends a material request signal to the logistics system, so that the gantry has a material request function; at the same time, when the cigarette box passes directly under the gantry body, the controller controls the lifting mechanism and the coding device to code the cigarette box, which is convenient for subsequent tracing of the cigarette box, so that the gantry has a coding function. It can be seen that the utility model effectively increases the use function of the gantry and makes the gantry more practical.

[0030] Furthermore, a driving mechanism for driving the slide 7 to slide on the slide rail 9 is provided on the crossbeam 11. With this solution, the slide 7 can be easily slid left and right on the slide rail 9 through the driving mechanism, so that the slide is placed at different positions on the left and right sides of the slide rail, thereby enabling the visual inspection equipment to monitor the cigarette boxes on the left and right conveyor lines below the gantry body.

[0031] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 6, a reducer 18, and a drag chain 10. The driving motor 6 is arranged on the crossbeam 11. The input shaft of the reducer 18 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor. The output shaft of the reducer is provided with a sprocket for engaging with the drag chain. The rear side of the slide 7 is connected to the drag chain 10 through a connecting piece 19. With this solution, the driving motor drives the reducer to rotate, and the rotation of the reducer drives the drag chain to operate. The drag chain drives the slide to move on the slide rail through the connecting piece. It can be understood that one end of the drag chain is sleeved on the sprocket, and the other end of the drag chain is sleeved on the transmission wheel arranged at the rear of the crossbeam.

[0032] It can be preferred that the lifting mechanism includes a lifting drive 15 and a lifting rod 14 connected in sequence from top to bottom, and the lifting drive 15 is used to drive the lifting rod 14 to move up and down in the vertical direction, so that the structure of the lifting mechanism is relatively simple; when in use, it is only necessary to control the lifting drive 15 through the controller 3 to drive the lifting rod to move up and down in the vertical direction, so that the coding device can be driven to move up and down. It can be understood that the lifting drive is electrically connected to the controller; when the cigarette box passes directly under the crossbeam, the controller controls the lifting drive to drive the lifting rod to extend downward, drive the coding device to approach the cigarette box, and realize the coding of the cigarette box, and then the lifting drive drives the lifting rod to shorten upward, and drive the coding device to move up. Position sensors can be set on the two vertical beams respectively to detect whether the cigarette boxes on the two conveyor lines have reached directly under the crossbeam, so as to achieve accurate coding of the cigarette boxes.

[0033] Furthermore, the lifting drive 15 is slidably arranged on the bottom of the beam 11, and a driving cylinder 12 is arranged on one side of the bottom of the beam 11, and the telescopic rod 13 of the driving cylinder 12 is connected to the lifting drive 15; the driving cylinder is electrically connected to the controller. With this solution, the telescopic rod of the driving cylinder can drive the lifting drive to slide left and right on the bottom of the beam, so as to drive the coding device to the left and right positions below the beam, so that the coding device can code the cigarette boxes on the left and right conveyor lines below the gantry body respectively. It can be understood that the telescopic rod is arranged horizontally.

[0034] Specifically, the vertical beam includes two vertically arranged support beams 1, a first connecting beam 20 and a second connecting beam 4. The upper ends of the two support beams 1 are connected by the first connecting beam 20, and the middle parts of the two support beams are connected by the second connecting beam 4, so that the overall strength of the vertical beam is higher and the reliability is better.

[0035] Furthermore, the gantry for loading the cigarette box also includes two bottom plates 2, and the bottom plates 2 are provided at the lower ends of the two vertical beams, so that the bottom plates 2 are convenient for connection with the ground or other equipment.

[0036] Specifically, both ends of the cross beam 11 are respectively connected to the two support beams 1 located at the rear side, and a third connecting beam 5 is provided between the cross beam and the support beams, so that the strength of the gantry body is further improved.

[0037] The general use process of this utility model is:

[0038] The driving mechanism drives the slide 7 to move left and right on the slide rail 9, and uses the monitoring probe 17 of the visual inspection equipment to identify the brand, direction and quantity of the cigarette boxes on the two conveyor lines below the gantry body, and transmits them to the controller. When the number of cigarette boxes on any conveyor line decreases, the visual inspection equipment will send a signal to the controller, so that the controller 3 sends a material request signal to the logistics system, so that the logistics system delivers cigarette boxes to the conveyor line;

[0039] The driving cylinder 12 drives the lifting driver 15 to move left and right on the bottom of the crossbeam 11, and the coding device 16 is used to code the cigarette boxes on the left and right conveyor lines passing directly under the crossbeam.

[0040] The above are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention. It should be pointed out that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. Moreover, after reading the contents of the present invention, relevant technical personnel in the field can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.
