Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cigarette conveying and distributing, and in particular relates to a full-standard cigarette distributing device and a packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] The statements herein merely provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] At present, cigarette cartons need to be sorted and packaged before transportation. In the whole process of sorting line technology, the dispenser is an important part of the sorting equipment. It combines the required sorted cigarette cartons into shape and then packages them as a whole.

[0004] In the existing cigarette packing machines, cigarette cartons are conveyed to the stacking mechanism in sequence for stacking and then packaging. However, there are various types of cigarette cartons, such as standard, thin, short, medium, and quasi-standard cigarette cartons. The heights of each type of cigarette cartons vary greatly. The existing cigarette carton dispensing machines are not suitable for the conveying and dispensing of cigarette cartons of different heights, and are also unable to achieve high-speed dispensing of all specifications of cigarette cartons.

[0005] Chinese patent application CN216233184U discloses a high-speed distribution device for stacking thin and standard cigarettes, including a bracket for supporting a separation device, a front belt for caching cigarettes, an upper low-speed sponge belt, a lower low-speed belt, an upper high-speed sponge belt, and a lower high-speed belt, and also includes a first support frame for supporting the upper low-speed sponge belt and the upper high-speed sponge belt, wherein the first support frame is slidably connected to the bracket, and a driving mechanism for driving the first support frame to rise and fall is provided at the upper end of the bracket. In this scheme, a sponge belt is arranged above the conveying belt, and the cigarette strips pass through the gap between the two, which limits the conveyable height of the cigarette strips and cannot be applied to the conveyance of special-shaped cigarettes with a larger height. Therefore, a driving mechanism is arranged to drive the sponge belt to rise and fall to adapt to cigarette strips of different heights. Although this method can be adjusted according to the height of the cigarette strips, it is cumbersome to operate when used, and if it is not adjusted in time, the cigarette strips will be damaged; moreover, when cigarette strips of different sizes are mixed, it cannot be adjusted according to the height of the cigarette strips in real time, and the distribution of mixed cigarette strips cannot be achieved.

[0043] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are all illustrative and are intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the utility model. As used herein, unless the utility model explicitly states otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] In a typical implementation of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a full-size cigarette dispensing device is proposed, which includes a conveyor belt 101, and a flexible brush pressure-feeding component 102 is correspondingly arranged above the conveyor belt 101. The flexible brush pressure-feeding component 102 is used to control the cigarettes to be close to the conveying surface of the conveyor belt.

[0047] The flexible brush pressing and conveying assembly 102 and the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 101 have a set gap, which allows cigarettes to pass through and pre-presses the cigarettes during the passage of the cigarettes. When in use, the cigarettes are conveyed by the conveyor belt 101 and pass through the gap between the conveyor belt 101 and the flexible brush pressing and conveying assembly 102.

[0048] The flexible brush pressing and conveying assembly 102 includes a circulation mechanism, and a flexible brush is arranged on the periphery of the circulation mechanism; the circulation mechanism has the same conveying direction as the conveyor belt, and a cigarette pressing and conveying space is formed between the end of the flexible brush and the conveying surface of the conveyor belt.

[0049] It should be noted that the circulation mechanism here refers to a mechanism that can operate in a circulation manner.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the circulation mechanism includes a rotating body connected to the first driving mechanism, the rotating body spans across both sides of the conveyor belt, a flexible brush is arranged on the periphery of the rotating body, and the first driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating body to drive the flexible brush to rotate.

[0051] In this embodiment, the rotating body is a roller 103, and the roller 103 can rotate in a circular motion; at least one roller 103 is provided, and the linear speed direction of the bottom of the roller 103 is the same as the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 101, and the roller and the conveyor belt pre-compress and convey the cigarettes forward.

[0052] The roller 103 is arranged horizontally, and the axial direction of the roller is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.

[0053] When two or more rollers are provided, the plurality of rollers are provided in sequence, and the rollers are provided in parallel and at intervals.

[0054] The first driving mechanism can be an electric motor, a hydraulic motor, etc., which is not limited here.

[0055] Specifically, the roller 103 includes a roller body 104, and a flexible brush is arranged on the periphery of the roller body 104. In this embodiment, the flexible brush is a brush 105. The roller body 104 is horizontally arranged above the conveyor belt 101, and the axial direction of the roller body is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. The brush 105 is fixedly arranged on the periphery of the roller body 104. The brush 105 has a certain length, and has high toughness and high elasticity. The brushes are planted on the roller body in a certain arrangement order. The high toughness and high elasticity of the brushes can compensate for the different heights of the cigarettes, and the cigarettes of different heights can be pre-pressed.

[0056] It is understandable that the roller 103 can be an integral structure or a split structure, and can be composed of a plurality of split structures. For example, the roller can be set as two semicircular structures, which are locked and fixed on the central transmission shaft by fasteners, so as to facilitate later maintenance and replacement.

[0057] It is understandable that the specific specifications, quantity, arrangement, etc. of the brushes can be adjusted according to actual needs, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0058] In other optional implementation schemes, the flexible brush may also be a silicone brush, where the silicone brush refers to a brush whose bristles are made of silicone material.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the circulation mechanism includes an annular mechanism 106, which is connected to the second driving mechanism. A flexible brush is arranged on the periphery of the annular mechanism. The second driving mechanism is used to drive the annular mechanism to drive the flexible brush to rotate. The conveying direction of the annular mechanism is the same as that of the conveyor belt.

[0060] The annular mechanism 106 includes but is not limited to a belt conveyor mechanism or a chain conveyor mechanism. The annular mechanism 106 can be operated in a reciprocating cycle. The belt conveyor mechanism includes two conveying rollers and a conveyor belt wrapped between the two conveying rollers, and a flexible brush is arranged on the periphery of the conveyor belt. The chain conveyor mechanism can be in the form of a sprocket chain or a chain plate, and can be operated in a reciprocating cycle.

[0061] In this embodiment, the flexible brush is a brush 105 . The brush 105 has a certain length and has high toughness and high elasticity. The brush is fixed to the annular mechanism in a certain arrangement order.

[0062] The conveying direction of the annular mechanism 106 is the same as that of the conveyor belt 101 . The annular mechanism 106 is placed above the conveyor belt 101 , and the annular mechanism 106 and the conveyor belt 101 are arranged in parallel.

[0063] It should be noted that the annular mechanism can be provided in single, double or more forms as required. When more than two annular mechanisms are provided, the annular mechanisms are arranged in sequence.

[0064] In an alternative embodiment, the flexible brush pressing and conveying assembly 102 includes a mounting plate, and a flexible brush is provided on one side of the mounting plate close to the conveyor belt 101. In this embodiment, a brush plate is used, and the specific setting form of the brush plate can be that the brush is arranged on the mounting plate, the mounting plate is horizontally arranged above the conveyor belt 101, and the mounting plate can move horizontally, and the brush pre-presses the cigarettes during the transportation process.

[0065] The conveyor belt 101 is horizontally arranged, and at least two conveyor belts 101 are arranged, and the conveyor belts are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence to convey the cigarette strips in sequence.

[0066] In some embodiments, the conveying speed of each conveyor belt is the same.

[0067] In other embodiments, during transportation, the conveying speeds of the conveying belts are different, and the conveying speed of the conveying belt located at the front side of the conveying direction is fast. Along the conveying direction, the conveying speeds of the conveying belts increase successively, forming differential speed transportation, so that the cigarettes pass through the differential speed and generate a certain distance, which is convenient for counting. The conveying speed of the smoke outlet side of the entire device is much greater than the conveying speed of the smoke inlet side.

[0068] Furthermore, the conveyor belt 101 and the flexible brush pressure-feeding assembly 102 are both installed on a frame 107, and corresponding driving mechanisms of the conveyor belt and the flexible brush pressure-feeding assembly, such as a motor, are fixed on the frame.

[0069] The working process of the device is:

[0070] The cigarettes are transported on the conveyor belt 101. When the cigarettes are transported to the corresponding position of the flexible brush pressing and conveying assembly 102 and the conveyor belt 101, the flexible brush of the flexible brush pressing and conveying assembly 102 pre-presses the cigarettes, so that the cigarettes are transported one by one to the next level mechanism. Since the flexible brush has high elasticity and high toughness, it can be used for pre-pressing and distributing cigarettes of different heights.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] In another typical implementation of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, a full-size cigarette dispensing device is proposed, which adds an adsorption control component on the basis of Example 1, and the adsorption control component is used to control the cigarettes to stick closely to the conveying surface of the conveyor belt.

[0073] Specifically, the adsorption control component is arranged at the bottom of the conveyor belt 101, and the adsorption control component includes a vacuum cavity 201. The vacuum cavity 201 is arranged at the bottom of the conveyor belt 101. A hole 108 is opened on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 101. The hole 108 is connected to the vacuum cavity 201. By evacuating the vacuum cavity, the conveyor belt generates adsorption force on the cigarette strips, and the cigarette strips are adsorbed and conveyed, which can ensure the posture of the cigarettes and ensure the accurate stopping position of the cigarette strips when the equipment is frequently started and stopped.

[0074] In an optional implementation scheme, the vacuum chamber 201 is an integral chamber. When the integral chamber is used, it needs to be used in conjunction with a large-flow blower / centrifuge.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the vacuum chamber 201 is a split chamber, which is composed of a plurality of sub-chambers 202. Each sub-chamber 202 is separated from each other to form an independent space. The diagonally opposite sub-chambers 202 are connected, such as through a connecting hole that the two diagonal sub-chambers can be connected. Through the setting of the sub-chambers, the smallest size cigarettes can have better adsorption force, ensuring the smoke posture and preventing the rear cigarettes from overshooting during high-speed distribution and frequent starting and stopping.

[0076] In this embodiment, the vacuum chamber 201 is divided into 8 sub-chambers 202, and the 8 sub-chambers are arranged in two rows and four columns. The diagonal sub-chambers are connected, that is, chamber 1-chamber 3, chamber 2-chamber 4, chamber 5-chamber 8, and chamber 6-chamber 7 are all interconnected.

[0077] The vacuum chamber is continuously evacuated to achieve a vacuum state, and cigarette strips of different sizes are adsorbed through the holes on the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0078] In an alternative embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the holes 108 opened on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 101 are arranged in an aligned manner, and are opened in rows and columns on the surface of the conveyor belt 101 .

[0079] In another alternative embodiment, Fig.10 As shown, the holes 108 opened on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 101 are arranged in a staggered manner. They are opened on the surface of the conveyor belt 101 in a staggered manner.

[0080] The working process of the device is:

[0081] The cigarettes are transported on the conveyor belt 101. The vacuum chamber 201 at the bottom of the conveyor belt 101 is continuously evacuated, and the cigarettes are adsorbed and transported through the holes 108 on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 101. At the same time, when the cigarettes are transported to the corresponding positions of the flexible brush pressing and conveying assembly 102 and the conveyor belt 101, the brush of the flexible brush pressing and conveying assembly 102 pre-presses the cigarettes, so that the cigarettes are transported one by one to the next level mechanism. During the transportation process, due to the vacuum adsorption of the cigarettes and the pre-pressing of the brush, it can be suitable for the distribution of cigarettes of different heights and sizes.

[0082] Example 3

[0083] In another typical embodiment of the present invention, a full-size cigarette carton packaging machine is provided, which includes the cigarette carton dispensing device in Example 1 or the cigarette carton dispensing device in Example 2.

[0084] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
