[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the present embodiment provides a cigarette box sorting device applied to a high-bay warehouse, comprising a conveying mechanism 1 capable of conveying a pallet 12 with cigarette boxes 11 placed thereon along a first direction; a left-right correcting mechanism 2 and a front-back correcting mechanism 3 are sequentially mounted on a frame 13 of the conveying mechanism 1 along the moving direction of the cigarette boxes 11; the left-right correcting mechanism 2 comprises two push plates 21 capable of approaching each other for correcting the cigarette boxes, the two push plates 21 being spaced apart along a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; the front-back correcting mechanism 3 comprises a lifting assembly mounted on the frame of the conveying mechanism 1, and a correcting assembly capable of moving up and down driven by the lifting assembly; the correcting assembly comprises two push plates 31 capable of approaching each other for correcting the cigarette boxes; the two push plates 31 are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0028] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism is provided with a channel for moving the cigarette box, and the channel passes through the left and right deviation correcting mechanisms 2 and is below the front and rear deviation correcting mechanisms 3 .

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, it also includes a controller; the positions of the left and right correcting mechanism 2 and the front and rear correcting mechanism 3 are installed on the frame of the conveying mechanism 1, and a position detection device 4 for sensing the position of the tray or the cigarette box is installed, and the position detection device is a photoelectric sensor or a photoelectric door; the controller is electrically connected to the conveying mechanism 1, the left and right correcting mechanism 2, the front and rear correcting mechanism 3 and the position detection device 4 respectively.

[0030] In this embodiment, the position detection device is a photoelectric sensor that can sense the position of a tray or a cigarette box; in other embodiments, it can be a photoelectric door. When the position detection device is a photoelectric door, the light-emitting element and the receiving element of the photoelectric door are both located on the frame of the conveying mechanism 1, and the light-emitting element and the receiving element are respectively located on both sides of the channel.

[0031] Two deflection correcting bars are installed on the frame 13 of the conveying mechanism 1 , both of which are arranged along the first direction. When the conveying mechanism 1 is working, the tray 12 is located between the two deflection correcting bars and contacts the two deflection correcting bars.

[0032] In this embodiment, the distance between the two guiding strips is adapted to the size of the pallet.

[0033] The left and right deviation correcting mechanism 2 also includes two first drive components spaced apart along the second direction; the first drive component includes a mounting member 22 mounted on the conveying mechanism frame 13; a first hydraulic cylinder 23 capable of extending and retracting along the second direction is mounted on the mounting member, and a push plate 21 is respectively mounted at the output end of the two first hydraulic cylinders; when the left and right deviation correcting mechanism 2 is working, the cigarette box 11 is located between the two push plates 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first hydraulic cylinder 23 is installed on the side of the two mounting parts 22 away from each other, and the two push plates 21 are located between the two mounting parts 22. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder extends out of the mounting part through the through hole on the corresponding mounting part and is connected to the corresponding push plate 21.

[0035] A guide rod 24 arranged along the second direction is fixed on each push plate 21 , and the guide rod 24 is slidably connected to the corresponding mounting member 22 .

[0036] In this embodiment, a sliding hole for the guide rod 24 to slide is opened on the mounting member 22, and the guide rod 24 is inserted in the sliding hole.

[0037] The lifting assembly includes a support frame 32 installed on the conveying mechanism frame 13, on which two motors 33 are installed, and a vertically arranged screw 34 is fixed on the output shaft of each motor; a moving plate 35 is arranged above the support frame 32, and the moving plate and the two screws 34 are threadedly connected; two push plates 31 are arranged below the moving plate 35 at intervals along the first direction.

[0038] In this embodiment, the support frame 32 is a frame structure, and the channel of the conveying mechanism 1 passes through the support frame 32. Threaded holes connected to the screw rods 34 are opened on the opposite sides of the movable plate; the support frame 34 has support columns at the four corners, and the support frame 32 has a horizontally arranged limit plate in the middle position in the vertical direction. When the movable plate and the limit plate are in contact, the lifting assembly no longer descends; the top of the support column has a cross beam, and the top ends of the two screw rods 34 are rotatably connected to the corresponding cross beams respectively.

[0039] The deviation correction component includes two fixing parts 36 fixed on the lower surface of the movable plate 35, each fixing part is equipped with a second hydraulic cylinder 37 which can be extended and retracted along the first direction, and a push plate 2 31 is installed at the output end of each of the two second hydraulic cylinders; when the front and rear deviation correction mechanisms 3 are working, the cigarette box 11 is located between the two push plates 2 31.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second hydraulic cylinder 37 is installed on the side of the two fixing members 36 away from each other, and the two push plates 31 are located between the two fixing members 36. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 37 extends out of the fixing member 36 through the through hole on the corresponding fixing member 36 and is connected to the corresponding push plate 31.

[0041] A second guide rod 38 arranged along the first direction is fixed on each push plate 31 , and the second guide rod is slidably connected to the fixing member 36 .

[0042] In this embodiment, a sliding hole for the second guide rod 38 to slide is opened on the fixing member 36, and the second guide rod 38 is inserted in the sliding hole.

[0043] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 is a roller conveyor.

[0044] A roller conveyor is a device that uses the rolling of rollers to drive objects to move. The rollers are installed on a frame, and the rollers are driven to roll by a motor, and then the rollers drive the objects to move. Since the whole is existing technology, it will not be described in detail.

[0045] In other embodiments, the conveying mechanism 1 may be a conveyor belt conveyor.

[0046] The working principle of the conveyor belt is mainly based on continuous motion. The conveyor belt is driven by a motor or a driving roller to make the conveyor belt reciprocate, thereby realizing the transportation of materials. In the conveyor belt conveyor, the driving roller or motor is the core component, which drives the conveyor belt and the material to move together through friction. Since the whole is the existing technology, it will not be repeated.

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] When the whole device is working, the tray 12 is located between the two deviation-correcting bars, the cigarette box 11 is placed on the tray 12 , and the tray and the cigarette box move forward together under the action of the conveying mechanism 1 .

[0049] When the tray 12 and the cigarette box 11 move to the first position detection device 4, the position detection device senses that the tray and the cigarette box are already in the left and right deviation correction mechanism 2; then the controller closes the conveying mechanism 1 and simultaneously starts the two first hydraulic cylinders 23 to move the two push plates 21 closer to each other to correct the deviation of the cigarette box 11 in the left and right directions; then the two first hydraulic cylinders 23 are reset and closed, and at the same time the conveying mechanism 1 is started to move the cigarette box to the front and rear deviation correction mechanism 3.

[0050] When the tray 12 and the cigarette box 11 move to the second position detection device 4, the position detection device 4 senses that the tray 12 and the cigarette box 11 are already located in the front and rear correction mechanism 3; then the controller turns off the conveying mechanism 1 and starts the two motors 33 to move the correction assembly downward so that the cigarette box 11 is located between the two push plates 31; then the controller turns off the two motors 33 and starts the two second hydraulic cylinders 37 at the same time to make the two push plates 31 approach each other and correct the cigarette box 11 in the front and rear directions.

[0051] Then the two second hydraulic cylinders 37 are reset; then the two motors 33 are reversed, and the lifting assembly is reset; finally, the cigarette box 11 is located at the center of the tray, and continues to move forward driven by the conveying mechanism 1 to carry out the subsequent process.

[0052] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
