Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a deviation-correcting device for an outlet of a cigarette sorting line, belonging to the technical field of cigarette sorting. Background Art

[0002] When sorting cigarettes, the cigarette sorting line in the logistics center transports the sorted cigarette strips through the conveyor chain to the "strip and zero" associated equipment for scanning and association. At the end of the conveyor chain of the sorting line, the transported cigarette strips are often tilted at the end of the chain due to an emergency stop due to equipment failure. Due to the lack of a cigarette strip posture correction device, the tilted cigarette strips cannot be accurately sensed by the counting photoelectric sensor at the exit, resulting in a cigarette shortage alarm and shutdown for the sorting order, affecting the sorting efficiency. The tilted cigarette strips cannot be read by the "strip and zero" associated code reader during the transportation process, and the "strip and zero" association cannot be achieved. The tilted cigarette strips are easily stuck in the conveyor line at the front end of the packaging machine during the transportation process, causing sorting to stagnate and affecting the sorting efficiency. Once the tilted cigarette strips are transported into the flip mechanism of the packaging machine, they are easily squeezed and damaged by the flip mechanism, causing economic losses. Utility Model Content

The two guide plates are arranged in a V shape on the sorting conveying chain plate relative to each other. The bracket is erected on the sorting conveying chain plate. The upper baffle can be vertically telescopically moved on the bracket. The left push plate and the right push plate can be horizontally telescopically moved on both sides of the sorting conveying chain plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation of the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific implementation disclosed below.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 3 , this embodiment provides a deviation correction device for a cigarette sorting line outlet, including a conveying unit and a deviation correction unit.

[0023] The conveying unit includes a sorting conveying chain plate 11, a two-dimensional code reader 12 and a packaging machine. The two-dimensional code reader 12 is installed on the sorting conveying chain plate 11, and the packaging machine is installed at the end of the sorting conveying chain plate 11. The cigarettes conveyed by the sorting conveying chain plate 11 are read by the two-dimensional code reader 12 and then enter the packaging machine for packaging.

[0024] The correction unit includes a guide plate 21, a bracket 22, an upper baffle 23, a left push plate 24 and a right push plate 25. The two guide plates 21 are relatively mounted in a V shape on the sorting and conveying chain plate 11. The guide plate is suspended above the sorting and conveying chain plate 11 through a guide frame 33. The bracket 22 is mounted on the sorting and conveying chain plate 11. The upper baffle 23 can be vertically telescopically mounted on the bracket 22. The left push plate 24 and the right push plate 25 can be horizontally telescopically mounted on both sides of the sorting and conveying chain plate 11. The cigarettes coming from the upstream of the sorting and conveying chain plate 11 are firstly shaped by the two guide plates 21. When they are transported to the bracket 22, the upper baffle 23 moves down to block the cigarettes, and then the left push plate 24 and the right push plate 25 push out the cigarettes to a predetermined position in the middle of the sorting line, thereby realizing accurate correction of the cigarette position. After the action is completed, the left baffle, the right baffle and the upper baffle 23 shrink, and the cigarettes continue to move downward.

[0025] For the convenience of operation, photoelectric sensors 26 are provided on both sides of the sorting conveying chain plate 11 upstream of the bracket 22 to sense the cigarettes when they move to this position and control the upper baffle 23 to extend downward to block the cigarettes.

[0026] In order to avoid damage to cigarettes due to hard collision, an air chamber is provided in the guide plate 21, and an air jet hole 27 is opened on the inner side of the guide plate 21 along the length direction. The air chamber is connected to the air source device 29 through a pipeline 28, and the gas is ejected from the air jet hole 27. The ejected gas assists in correcting the deviation, which can reduce the degree of collision between the cigarette and the guide plate 21, thereby reducing the damage to the cigarette shell to a certain extent.

[0027] For the convenience of operation, the bracket 22 includes two side plates 221 and a horizontal plate 222. The horizontal plate 222 is installed between the tops of the two side plates 221. An upper cylinder 30 is installed on the horizontal plate 222. The telescopic rod of the upper cylinder 30 passes through the horizontal plate 222 and is connected to the upper baffle 23. A left cylinder 31 and a right cylinder 32 are installed on the left and right sides of the bracket 22 respectively. The telescopic rod of the left cylinder 31 passes through the side plate 221 and is connected to the left push plate 24. The telescopic rod of the right cylinder 32 passes through the side plate 221 and is connected to the right push plate 25. A limiting groove 223 is provided on the inner side of the side plate 221. The two sides of the upper baffle 23 can be slidably arranged in the limiting groove 223. Quick operation can be achieved through the upper cylinder 30, the left cylinder 31 and the right cylinder 32.

[0028] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
