Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tobacco packaging, in particular to a cigarette replenishing bin positioning tool. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, after cigarettes are filled into cigarette packages, a transparent paper packaging machine is required to complete the small box transparent paper packaging, heat sealing, rejection and transportation of unqualified products. The transparent paper packaging machine usually has an output turntable. Referring to the patent document with the announcement number CN220054420U, in the YB55 transparent packaging machine structure disclosed therein, the output turntable is provided with a number of feeding blocks arranged along the circumference, and a cavity that can accommodate cigarette packages is formed between adjacent feeding blocks. A device for rejecting unqualified products is provided at the third station of the output turntable, which can perform visual inspection on the cigarette packages in the cavity. When unqualified cigarette packages are detected, the cigarette packages are rejected from the cavity, and then the cigarette packages are replenished into the cavity through the cigarette replenishment bin arranged above the fourth station of the output turntable. The cigarette replenishment bin has a vertically arranged storage cavity with an opening facing downward, and a number of cigarette packages are stacked in the storage cavity. When the cavity formed by the rejection of unqualified cigarette packages moves to the bottom of the storage cavity, the cigarette packages are replenished into the cavity under the action of gravity.

[0003] During the packing process, in order to ensure that the cigarette packs in the cigarette refilling bin accurately fall into the cavity without getting stuck, it is necessary to move the cavity to the bottom of the cigarette refilling bin so that it is aligned with the center of the cigarette refilling bin to prevent the cigarette packs from colliding with the pack delivery blocks on both sides when they fall. In the prior art, the alignment and calibration of the cigarette refilling bin and the output turntable generally relies on the personal senses of the maintenance worker, which requires a high level of experience from the operator, and often requires a lot of debugging to calibrate the cigarette refilling bin and the output turntable to a better state, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a cigarette replenishing bin positioning tool, which can quickly complete the positioning of the cigarette replenishing bin and the output wheel, save maintenance time, and improve positioning accuracy.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A cigarette replenishing bin positioning tool comprises a turntable positioning block and a cigarette replenishing bin positioning block, the turntable positioning block comprises two mutually parallel package delivery block abutment walls and an inner abutment wall vertically connecting the two package delivery block abutment walls, the upper end face of the turntable positioning block is perpendicular to the package delivery block abutment wall and the inner abutment wall; the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block is arranged in the middle of the upper end face, the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block is raised relative to the upper end face, the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block has four cigarette replenishing bin abutment walls perpendicular to the upper end face, and the four cigarette replenishing bin abutment walls are arranged in a rectangular manner.

[0007] In the positioning tool provided by the utility model, the turntable positioning block corresponds to the size of the cavity on the output turntable for accommodating cigarette packets, the height of the turntable positioning block is flush with or slightly higher than the cavity, and the two abutting walls of the package delivery block of the turntable positioning block can respectively cooperate and abut with the package delivery blocks on both sides of the cavity, and the inner abutting wall faces the axial direction of the turntable and abuts against the inner side of the cavity. After the turntable positioning block is matched with the cavity, the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block arranged in the middle of the upper end surface of the turntable is positioned at the center position of the cavity, and then the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block is matched with the cigarette replenishment bin, so that the cigarette replenishment bin can be positioned to the empty cavity. The center of the cavity is reached. In actual operation, the locking state of the cigarette replenishing bin is generally released first, so that the position of the cigarette replenishing bin can be adjusted in the horizontal direction, and then the cigarette replenishing bin is moved up, and then the tooling is placed in the cavity of the fourth station, and then the cigarette replenishing bin is moved down to match the cigarette replenishing bin with the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block. After the matching is completed, the cigarette replenishing bin is locked again, and finally the cigarette replenishing bin is moved up and the tooling is taken out, thus completing the alignment and calibration of the cigarette replenishing bin and the output turntable. The whole operation process usually only takes a few minutes to complete, with low operation difficulty and high calibration accuracy, which can save maintenance time and improve positioning accuracy.

[0008] Furthermore, the abutting wall of the pack delivery block and the abutting wall of the rotating disk are connected via a first rounded transition, and the abutting walls of adjacent cigarette replenishing bins are connected via a second rounded transition.

[0009] During the calibration process, the sharp corners of the turntable positioning block and the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block may scratch the output turntable and the cigarette replenishing bin. In addition, due to processing precision reasons, the sharp corners may also jam the main package delivery block and the cigarette replenishing bin. Replacing them with rounded corners can solve the above problems without affecting the coordination and positioning of the turntable positioning block and the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block.

[0010] Furthermore, the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block is movably connected to the turntable positioning block, and the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block can move perpendicular to the upper end surface. This solution provides another alignment method of the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block and the cigarette replenishment bin. When the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block is movably connected to the turntable positioning block, the cigarette replenishment bin needs to be controlled to move downward by a power mechanism so that the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block can cooperate with the port of the cigarette replenishment bin. If the opening of the cigarette replenishment bin does not accurately correspond to the position of the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block, the end of the cigarette replenishment bin will collide with the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block during the downward movement, which may cause structural damage to the cigarette replenishment bin or other components. In this solution, the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block can be moved upward vertically, so that the end of the cigarette replenishment bin can be kept away from the tooling, so that the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block actively cooperates with the port of the cigarette replenishment bin to achieve the calibration purpose.

[0011] Furthermore, a accommodating cavity with an opening formed on the upper end surface is provided in the middle part of the turntable positioning block, and a guide column perpendicular to the upper end surface is fixedly connected to the bottom of the accommodating cavity, and the height of the guide column does not exceed the depth of the accommodating cavity; a matching column is vertically connected to the lower side surface of the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block, and a matching groove extending along the axis and slidably matching with the guide column is formed in the middle part of the matching column; the size of the accommodating cavity is smaller than that of the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block.

[0012] Furthermore, a matching block having a size corresponding to that of the accommodating cavity is connected to the lower side of the cigarette replenishing chamber positioning block.

[0013] Furthermore, more than two guide posts are provided in the accommodating cavity, and the lower side surface of the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block is connected with matching posts corresponding to the number and positions of the guide posts.

[0014] Furthermore, the turntable positioning block has an outer wall parallel to the inner abutment wall, and the outer wall is provided with a strip hole communicating with the accommodating cavity, and the length direction of the strip hole is perpendicular to the upper end face; the outer side surface of the mating column is connected to a control rod extending toward the outer wall, and the control rod extends from the strip hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the control rod is connected to a control handle.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of strip-shaped holes are provided on the outer side wall, each of the strip-shaped holes corresponds to a position of a joystick, and the joystick handle is connected to all joysticks at the same time.

[0017] Furthermore, the control handle is arranged parallel to the upper end surface, and the control handle is in sliding contact with the outer side wall.

[0018] In summary, the application of the utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The utility model cooperates with the output turntable and the cigarette replenishing bin respectively through the turntable positioning block and the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block, so that the cavity of the output turntable and the center of the cigarette replenishing bin are quickly aligned, which reduces the difficulty of centering calibration, shortens the calibration time to several minutes, greatly improves maintenance, and also improves calibration accuracy, reducing the failure rate of the transparent paper packaging machine.

[0020] 2. The utility model is easy to operate, and calibration can be completed through simple shape matching, which has little impact on the equipment. It has a simple structure, occupies less space when stored, and has low production cost.

[0021] 3.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1The present embodiment provides a cigarette replenishing bin positioning tool, which includes a relatively large turntable positioning block and a relatively small cigarette replenishing bin positioning block. The shape and size of the cross section of the turntable positioning block correspond to the cavity on the output turntable of the cellophane packaging machine. Specifically, the turntable positioning block includes two mutually parallel package delivery block abutment walls 11 and an inner abutment wall 12 vertically connecting the two package delivery block abutment walls. The package delivery block abutment walls can be connected to the package delivery blocks on both sides of the cavity, and the inner abutment wall faces the center of the output turntable and abuts against the inner wall of the cavity. The turntable positioning block is connected to the cavity, thereby realizing the cooperation between the turntable positioning block and the cavity. The height of the turntable positioning block is preferably equal to the depth of the cavity, so that the upper end surface 13 of the turntable positioning block is flush with the pack delivery blocks on both sides; the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block is arranged in the middle of the upper end surface 13 and protrudes relative to the upper end surface. The cigarette replenishment bin positioning block has four cigarette replenishment bin abutment walls 21 perpendicular to the upper end surface. The four cigarette replenishment bin abutment walls are arranged in a rectangular structure, and the size of the rectangle formed by the arrangement corresponds to the length and width of the cigarette pack, so that the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block can cooperate with the port of the cigarette replenishment bin. Figure 2 In some embodiments, the pack delivery block abutment wall and the inner abutment wall can be transitionally connected through a first rounded corner 14, and the adjacent cigarette replenishment bin abutment walls can be transitionally connected through a second rounded corner 22 to reduce the probability of scratches or jamming between the tooling and the equipment during calibration.

[0031] The method of using the utility model is as follows: first release the locking state of the cigarette replenishment bin so that the cigarette replenishment bin can adjust its position in the horizontal direction, then move the cigarette replenishment bin upward, then place the tooling in the cavity of the fourth station, and then move the cigarette replenishment bin downward so that the cigarette replenishment bin cooperates with the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block, and after the cooperation is completed, re-lock the cigarette replenishment bin, and finally move the cigarette replenishment bin upward and take out the tooling, thus completing the alignment and calibration of the cigarette replenishment bin and the output turntable. The above process only takes a few minutes, which can greatly reduce the time required for the alignment and calibration of the cigarette replenishment bin and the output turntable, improve the maintenance speed, and compared with calibration based on artificial senses, the calibration accuracy of the utility model is higher, which can reduce the failure rate of the transparent paper packaging machine.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Reference Figures 3-5 The present embodiment provides a cigarette replenishing bin positioning tool, which includes a relatively large turntable positioning block 1 and a relatively small cigarette replenishing bin positioning block 2. Compared with Embodiment 1, the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block and the turntable positioning block in the present embodiment are movably connected, so that the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block can move perpendicular to the upper end surface of the turntable positioning block, and then actively cooperate with the cigarette replenishing bin to avoid structural damage caused by collision between the cigarette replenishing bin and the tooling.

[0034] Specifically, a receiving cavity 15 with an opening formed on the upper end surface is provided in the middle of the turntable positioning block 1, a guide column 16 perpendicular to the upper end surface 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the receiving cavity, the height of the guide column does not exceed the depth of the receiving cavity, the turntable positioning block has an outer wall 17 parallel to the inner abutment wall, the outer wall is provided with a strip hole 18 communicating with the receiving cavity, the length direction of the strip hole is perpendicular to the upper end surface 13; the size of the receiving cavity is smaller than the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block, so that the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block can only overlap on the upper end surface 13 but cannot enter the receiving cavity

[0035] The lower side surface of the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block 2 is vertically connected with a matching column 23, and a matching groove extending along the axis and slidably matched with the guide column is formed in the middle of the matching column. The matching column and the guide column are slidably connected so that the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block can move perpendicular to the upper end surface, and the outer side surface of the matching column is connected with a control rod 24, which extends in the direction of the outer side wall 17 of the control rod box and passes through the strip hole 18, and the end of the control rod is connected with a control handle 25 arranged parallel to the upper end surface 13, and the control handle is slidably abutted against the outer side wall; in some embodiments, a matching block can be set on the lower side surface of the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block, and the size of the matching block corresponds to the accommodating cavity. When the cigarette replenishment bin positioning block overlaps the upper end surface 13, the matching block is embedded in the accommodating cavity.

[0036] The method of using the utility model is as follows: first release the locking state of the cigarette replenishing bin so that the position of the cigarette replenishing bin can be adjusted in the horizontal direction, then move the cigarette replenishing bin upward, then place the tooling in the cavity of the fourth station, and then move the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block upward so that the cigarette replenishing bin and the cigarette replenishing bin positioning block are matched. After the matching is completed, re-lock the cigarette replenishing bin, and finally take out the tooling to complete the alignment and calibration of the cigarette replenishing bin and the output turntable.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
