AI Technical Summary
The prior art changes the orientation of the cigarette on the belt conveyor belt after it ejects from the tobacco sorter outlet, resulting in the cigarette being unable to maintain the horizontal strip shape, affecting subsequent coding and packaging processes.
A buffer device on the cigarette sorting line is designed, including a plastic buffer plate and a cigarette push strip. The plastic buffer plate is made of EVA material and is used to buffer the floor of cigarettes; the push-strip strips come into contact with the surface of the cigarette in the direction of movement when the cigarette falls close to the aluminum baffle, ensuring that the length of the cigarette remains consistent.
Through this buffering device, the direction change of the cigarette falling on the belt is overcome, keeping the length direction of the cigarette consistent with the direction of the tobacco sorter outlet, avoiding the need for artificially correcting cigarettes and improving production efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of buffer equipment, in particular to a buffer device on a cigarette sorting line. Background technology:
[0002] The existing cigarette sorting line is to transport different types of cigarettes supplied to each customer to the belt conveyor after being sorted by the tobacco sorting machine. After the belt conveyor is used for coding, classification and packaging, the different types of cigarettes are packaged and supplied to customers. After the tobacco sorting machine outputs the classified cigarettes and transports them to the belt of the belt conveyor, in order to complete the subsequent processes, coding, classification and packaging, the cigarettes must remain in a horizontal strip shape on the belt of the belt conveyor, that is, consistent with the direction of the cigarettes coming out of the tobacco sorting machine outlet.
[0003] The current technical defect is: in order to prevent cigarettes from falling off the belt of the belt conveyor, an aluminum baffle is installed on the belt conveyor frame. When the cigarettes are ejected from the cigarette outlet of the tobacco sorting machine, the cigarettes directly hit the aluminum baffle, and the reaction force is used to bounce the cigarettes onto the belt of the belt conveyor. At this time, the cigarettes that fall on the belt are basically distributed relatively tilted, which causes wear on the surface of the cigarettes and fails to keep the cigarettes in a horizontal strip shape on the belt, thereby affecting the subsequent coding process. Before coding, the cigarettes need to be manually straightened into horizontal strips, affecting the progress of packaging production.
[0004] The existing patent publication number is: CN203411016U, which discloses that a sponge material buffer device with a cloth outer packaging is installed in front of the aluminum baffle on the belt conveyor frame at the cigarette outlet of the tobacco sorting machine. When the cigarette outlet of the tobacco sorting machine pops out, it will collide with the buffer device. Due to the buffering of the sponge material, most of the rebound force of the cigarette is absorbed, and the position of the cigarette falling on the belt does not change significantly. Since the buffer device prevents the cigarette from rebounding and maintains the original position of the cigarette falling on the belt, that is, in a horizontal strip shape, it does not affect the coding and packaging processes. Basically, manual cigarette sorting is not used, and non-stop operation is achieved without affecting the production progress.
[0005] During actual use, this solution can slow down the rebound force and reduce the intensity of the position change of the cigarette falling on the belt, but it ignores the fact that the belt is in motion. The rebounded cigarette usually falls onto the belt first at the end away from the aluminum baffle. At this time, the cigarette will be dragged by the belt to move. When the cigarette falls to the ground at the end close to the aluminum baffle, the cigarette has changed its position, that is, the position of the cigarette coming out of the tobacco sorting machine outlet has changed. As a result, the coding machine cannot code accurately, and the barcodes of some cigarettes are missed during coding. Therefore, it is still necessary to manually straighten the cigarettes into horizontal strips, and the technical problem is not completely solved.
[0006] Therefore, the present application proposes a new technical solution to overcome the change in position of cigarettes when they fall on the belt and to keep the length direction of the cigarettes consistent with the position of the cigarettes coming out of the tobacco sorting machine cigarette outlet. Utility model content:
[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a buffer device on a cigarette sorting line to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0008] The utility model is implemented by the following technical solutions:
[0009] A buffer device on a cigarette sorting line comprises: a tobacco sorting machine, a belt conveyor, a receiving plate, a plastic buffer plate, a cigarette pusher, an aluminum baffle and a buffer member;
[0010] A receiving plate is arranged between the tobacco sorting machine and the belt conveyor, and plastic buffer plates corresponding to the number of cigarette outlets of the tobacco sorting machine are fixed on the upper surface of the receiving plate, and the plastic buffer plate is located between the cigarette outlets of two adjacent tobacco sorting machines. A plurality of cigarette pushing strips are evenly fixed on the belt conveyor, and an aluminum baffle is obliquely fixed on one side of the belt conveyor away from the tobacco sorting machine, and a buffer is fixed on the surface of the aluminum baffle facing the belt.
[0011] Preferably, the end surface of the receiving plate is in a "right triangle" structure.
[0012] Preferably, the plastic buffer plate is made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer) material, and the plastic buffer plate bends when it contacts and intercepts the cigarette.
[0013] Preferably, the spacing between two adjacent plastic buffer plates is equal to the spacing between two adjacent cigarette pushing rods.
[0014] Preferably, the buffer is made of PU (polyurethane) material and is fixed to the aluminum baffle by pins.
[0015] The advantages of the utility model are as follows: the plastic buffer plate is used to buffer and intercept the end of the cigarette that falls to the ground first. When the end of the cigarette close to the aluminum baffle plate falls to the ground, the surface of the cigarette pusher facing the moving direction just contacts the surface of the cigarette, and under the action of the plastic buffer plate, the vertical surface of the cigarette in the length direction is completely fitted with the surface of the cigarette pusher. As the belt continues to move, the cigarette is pushed by the cigarette pusher to pass through the interception of the plastic buffer plate and continue to be transported, thereby overcoming the change in the orientation of the cigarette when it falls on the belt and keeping the orientation of the cigarette in the length direction consistent with the orientation of the cigarette coming out of the cigarette outlet of the tobacco sorting machine.

[0020] In the figure: 1. tobacco sorting machine, 2. belt conveyor, 3. receiving plate, 4. plastic buffer plate, 5. tobacco rod pusher, 6. aluminum baffle, 7. buffer part. Specific implementation method:
[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. 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.
[0022] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution for a buffer device on a cigarette sorting line:
[0023] A buffer device on a cigarette sorting line comprises: a tobacco sorting machine 1, a belt conveyor 2, a receiving plate 3, a plastic buffer plate 4, a cigarette pusher 5, an aluminum baffle 6 and a buffer member 7;
[0024] A receiving plate 3 is provided between the tobacco sorting machine 1 and the belt conveyor 2, and the end face of the receiving plate 3 is in a "right triangle" structure. Plastic buffer plates 4 corresponding to the number of cigarette outlets of the tobacco sorting machine 1 are fixed on the upper surface of the receiving plate 3. The plastic buffer plates 4 are made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer) material, and the plastic buffer plates 4 bend when they come into contact with cigarettes for interception. The plastic buffer plate 4 is located between the cigarette outlets 1.1 of two adjacent tobacco sorting machines 1. A plurality of cigarette push strips 5 are evenly fixed on the belt conveyor 2. An aluminum baffle 6 is obliquely fixed on the side of the belt conveyor 2 away from the tobacco sorting machine 1, and a buffer 7 is fixed on the surface of the aluminum baffle 6 facing the belt.
[0025] The spacing between two adjacent plastic buffer plates 4 is equal to the spacing between two adjacent cigarette pushing rods 5; the buffer member 7 is made of PU (polyurethane) material and is fixed on the aluminum baffle 6 by pins.
[0026] The working principle is as follows: when the cigarette is ejected from the cigarette outlet of the tobacco sorting machine 1, the cigarette directly hits the buffer 7. Since the buffer 7 is made of PU polyurethane material, it has good rebound and shock-absorbing effects, reducing the impact force on the cigarette; and since the buffer 7 is tilted, when the buffer 7 rebounds, since the direction of the reaction force is downward, the ejection distance of the cigarette is reduced. When the end of the cigarette away from the aluminum baffle 6 falls onto the belt first, it will be buffered and intercepted by the plastic buffer plate 4. When the end of the cigarette close to the aluminum baffle falls to the ground, the surface of the cigarette pusher 5 facing the moving direction just contacts the surface of the cigarette, and under the action of the plastic buffer plate 4, the vertical surface of the cigarette in the length direction is completely fitted with the surface of the cigarette pusher 5. As the belt continues to move, the cigarette is pushed by the cigarette pusher 5 to pass through the interception of the plastic buffer plate 4 and continue to be transported, thereby overcoming the change in the orientation of the cigarette falling on the belt and keeping the cigarette length direction consistent with the orientation of the cigarette outlet of the tobacco sorting machine.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
