Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette production equipment, in particular to a walkway positioning tool for a cigarette packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] In the existing cigarette packaging, cigarettes are stacked in a 7-6-7 arrangement. In the process of packing cigarettes, the cigarettes need to be stacked and placed through the aisle before reaching the boxing process for boxing. Therefore, the accuracy and completeness of the cigarettes entering the box during the cigarettes passing through the aisle are of great significance. The smooth passage of cigarettes in the aisle requires, on the one hand, that the quality of the cigarettes is intact and there are no missing or empty problems. On the other hand, the spacing of the aisles needs to be reasonable so that the stacked cigarettes can pass smoothly without sliding. In order to meet the requirements. Empty detectors and missing detectors are set at different positions on the cigarette packaging equipment to detect cigarettes. At the same time, the width of the aisle is accurately adjusted to meet the needs of cigarette passage.

[0003] However, the current adjustment process for the aisle mainly involves adjusting the distance between the baffles on both sides of the aisle and the distance between the two detectors installed on the aisle. The adjustment process is mostly carried out through precise adjustment with a vernier caliper. However, since the aisle interval adjustment needs to achieve millimeter-level accuracy and the aisle is long, it is necessary to adjust and confirm the distances at multiple key positions. The measurement results of the vernier caliper are determined based on the operator's holding method and reading angle. Therefore, there will be a certain deviation when determining the distances at various positions on the aisle, and the workload is large. When cigarettes need to be replaced for production, the aisle needs to fine-tune the distance according to the cigarettes that need to be replaced to avoid misalignment or disorder in the cigarette queue. At this time, the vernier caliper needs to be used to measure and confirm again at various parts of the aisle, which is complicated and has poor accuracy.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the convenience and accuracy of adjusting the spacing between various parts on the aisle is a problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve urgently. Utility Model Content

[0029] The core of the utility model is to disclose a walkway positioning tool for a cigarette packaging machine to improve the convenience and accuracy of adjusting the spacing between various parts on the walkway.

[0030] In order to make the technical personnel in this field better understand the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the embodiments shown below do not limit the contents of the utility model described in the claims. In addition, the entire contents of the structures represented by the following embodiments are not limited to those necessary for the solutions of the utility model described in the claims.

[0031] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the aisle positioning tooling of the cigarette packaging machine provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a first positioning member 10, a second positioning member 20 and a connecting member 30. The first positioning member 10 is designed as a bending structure and has a flat first working surface 110. Flatness here specifically refers to the first working surface 110 of a single plane structure, and the first working surface 110 is used to contact the part on the aisle that needs to be position adjusted; the second positioning member 20 is similar in structure to the first positioning member 10 and is arranged accordingly. Specifically, the second positioning member 20 is also designed with a flat second working surface 210, which is arranged back to back and parallel to the first working surface 110. It should be noted that the back-to-back arrangement here refers to the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210 being arranged on two opposite outer sides of the positioning tooling to contact the baffles or detectors on both sides and perform specific adjustments.

[0032] On the basis of the above structure, the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 are connected by a connecting member 30 to form an integral structure. The design of the connecting member 30 needs to ensure sufficient strength and stability to withstand the forces that may be generated during the positioning process. At the same time, the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 have a plurality of locking positions on the connecting member 30, that is, the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 are arranged as a movable structure to adapt to the requirements of cigarette packaging of different sizes and meet the requirements of spacing adjustment of aisles of different sizes. The first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 adjust different locking positions to change The distance between the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210 is changed, and the distance between the baffles or detectors on both sides of the aisle is measured through the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210. Since the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 are in a locked state, the operator can move the tooling to any position on the aisle to measure the distance. At the same time, it should be noted that, considering that there may be different distance adjustment requirements due to the types of cigarettes in the aisle, a plurality of locking positions are designed on the connecting member 30. These positions can be selected as needed to fix the distance between the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20. The design of the locking position should ensure that the distance between the positioning members can be accurately adjusted, and the position is stable after being fixed and will not move during use; and on this basis, the position adjustment of the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 before locking can be achieved through mechanical means such as rotation or sliding. The operator can select different locking positions according to actual needs, thereby changing the distance between the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210, and the rotation or sliding adjustment process is simple and stable to quickly adapt to different production needs.

[0033] The aisle positioning tool of the cigarette packaging machine provided by the embodiment of the utility model is provided with a first positioning member 10 and a second positioning member 20, and they are connected into an integral structure by a connecting member 30 to meet the use requirements. After the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 are assembled with the connecting member 30, the first working surface 110 on the first positioning member 10 and the second working surface 210 on the second positioning member 20 are arranged opposite to each other and in parallel, so that the positioning tool has two parallel planes on the two opposite outer sides. On this basis, the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 have a plurality of locking positions on the connecting member 30 for adjusting the spacing. When the baffles or detectors on both sides of the cigarette aisle need to be adjusted, During the detection, adjustment and calibration, the operator can use the measuring tool offline to adjust the positions of the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 on the connecting member 30 based on the required spacing between the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210. After the adjustment, the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 are locked on the connecting member 30. At this time, the spacing between the two working surfaces on the positioning tool is the spacing required for measurement and calibration. The operator uses this as a reference to place the positioning tool at various important positions on the aisle and adjust the baffles on both sides. It can be reused at various positions on the aisle, is easy to operate, and the baffle adjustment has a reference, which improves its setting accuracy compared with the prior art.

[0034] It should be noted that, according to the length of cigarettes frequently produced on the production line, the locking positions of the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 on the connecting member 30 can be preset and marked, so that the positioning tooling can be adjusted more quickly during cigarette rebranding production to improve production efficiency.

[0035] Based on the above-mentioned aisle positioning tooling of the cigarette packaging machine, this embodiment further describes in detail the structure of the connecting member 30 and the connection method between the positioning members, as well as how to achieve the spacing adjustment and locking between the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 through this structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting member 30 is designed as a single-axis structure. The shaft-shaped connecting member 30 passes through the center hole or preset channel of the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 as a connecting structure. It should be selected from high-strength, wear-resistant alloy steel or other suitable materials to ensure stability and durability during long-term use; and the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 are both connected to the shaft in a sliding manner. This connection method enables the two positioning members to move axially, thereby achieving the spacing adjustment between the working surfaces. The sliding connection structure can use linear bearings, sliding guides or other effective mechanical structures to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the positioning members; at the same time, in order to fix the position of the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 after adjusting to a suitable spacing, fixing holes 40 are opened on the two positioning members. The fixing holes 40 are used to insert screws or other types of fasteners to lock the position of the shaft and the positioning members.

[0036] On the basis of the above structure, during actual use, the operator first adjusts the distance between the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 according to the size of the cigarette, and moves the two positioning members along the axial position until the outer distance between the two working surfaces meets the width requirement of the aisle. After adjusting into place, the screws are inserted into the corresponding fixing holes 40 on the two positioning members to lock the position of the shaft and the positioning members by tightening the screws. The positioning tooling can be preset and used in the aisle spacing adjustment.

[0037] In order to improve the convenience of adjustment of the positioning tool by the operator, the fixing holes 40 on the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 are preferably set at the top surface. The top surface is the surface with the highest horizontal height of the positioning tool when the positioning tool is placed on the ground or on a walkway. The fixing holes 40 set on the top surface are convenient for the operator to insert the screws and tighten them.

[0038] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment of the utility model, a connecting groove 120 is also provided on the first positioning member 10, and a connecting protrusion 220 is provided on the second positioning member 20. When the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210 are in a minimum spacing state, that is, when the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210 maintain the closest spacing state, the connecting protrusion 220 is completely embedded in the connecting groove 120. The purpose of providing the connecting groove 120 and the connecting protrusion 220 is to be able to quickly adjust the positioning tooling to the position of the minimum positioning distance to meet the use and storage requirements.

[0039] In other embodiments of the present invention, the connecting member 30 is also designed as an axial structure and passes through the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 to connect the two positioning members and allow relative movement between them. At the same time, the first positioning member 10 and the connecting member 30 are designed as an integrated structure, which can be integrally cast through a casting process, or fixedly connected by welding or other methods, so that the first positioning member 10 and the connecting member 30 have extremely high stability and integrity, and maintain the stability of the relative position of the first positioning member 10 and the connecting member 30. Correspondingly, the second positioning member 20 is designed as a structure that can slide axially along the connecting member 30 to adjust the distance between the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210. The single-piece adjustment structure makes it easier for the positioning tool to set the reference structure, and a single positioning member can be locked first, and then the position of another positioning member can be adjusted, thereby simplifying the distance adjustment process between the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210.

[0040] On the basis of the above embodiment, only the second positioning member 20 is provided with a fixing hole 40 , and the fixing hole 40 is also used for inserting a screw or other types of fasteners to lock the relative position of the connecting member 30 and the second positioning member 20 .

[0041] In order to further improve the ease of use of the positioning tooling, in some embodiments of the present invention, a scale is specially provided on the periphery of the connecting member 30 to directly indicate the relative position between the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 on the connecting member 30. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the two positioning members, the operator can move the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 by applying external force until the desired scale position is reached. In this way, the operator can ensure that the distance between the two positioning members is adjusted to a precise value. It should be noted that the graduation value of the scale is 0.1mm, that is, the interval between each scale line represents a displacement of 0.1mm, so that the working surface of the positioning tooling can meet the millimeter-level spacing adjustment and meet the high requirements for precision in the cigarette packaging process.

[0042] Furthermore, the aisle positioning tooling of the cigarette packaging machine provided in the embodiment of the utility model adopts a gantry configuration, and the first positioning member 10 and the second positioning member 20 are respectively located on both sides of the gantry to form a stable frame structure, and the area between the first working surface 110 and the second working surface 210 is designed as a slotted structure to reduce the weight of the positioning tooling, so that the overall structure is lighter and easier to adjust the position.
