Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic cigarette package unloading and framing device, belonging to the technical field of cigarette package unloading equipment. Background Art

[0002] During the flue-cured tobacco operation, tobacco leaves are usually packed in sacks and transported to a designated location by truck. The loading and unloading of existing sack tobacco packages is usually done manually, which requires manual unloading of the cigarette packages from the truck and stacking them in original tobacco baskets with nets on two sides and openings on the other two sides. The original tobacco baskets are then placed on trailers by manual forklifts, and finally moved by trailers to warehouses for storage or transported to production stations. Since the cigarette packages themselves are heavy and the transport trucks are high, generally more than 10 workers are required to operate them, and the handling personnel are prone to fatigue. The whole process is time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient. In addition, during the unloading and handling process, the cigarette packages are easily trampled and collided, causing great secondary breakage of the tobacco raw materials. Therefore, designing an automated cigarette package unloading and framing device to replace manual operations is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0017] 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 some embodiments of the utility model, not all 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.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1-2As shown, an automatic cigarette pack unloading and framing device includes a mobile transport manipulator, a lifting frame is provided at the front end of the mobile transport manipulator, a belt conveyor 6 is provided on the lifting frame, and a plurality of cigarette frames 7 for placing cigarette packs are provided on the belt conveyor 6.

[0020] The mobile handling manipulator comprises a mobile chassis 1, a grab arm 2 is arranged on the mobile chassis 1, and a grab clamp 3 is arranged at the front end of the grab arm 2. Specifically, the specific structure of the mobile handling manipulator is a common palletizer on the market, preferably a woven bag palletizer.

[0021] The lifting frame includes a lifting rail 8, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the front end of the mobile chassis 1, a slide 10 is provided on the lifting rail 8 and is slidably connected to the lifting rail 8, and the slide 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the belt conveyor 6, and a lifting hydraulic cylinder 9 is also provided on the lifting rail 8, and the top of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 9 is connected to the belt conveyor 6 through a fixed block 11. The lifting hydraulic cylinder 9 performs telescopic movement, which can drive the belt conveyor 6 to rise and fall smoothly along the lifting rail 8 under the action of the slide 10.

[0022] The lifting guide rail 8 comprises a rectangular frame structure consisting of two vertical rods and a horizontal rod, and the lower end of the rectangular frame structure is fixedly connected to the mobile chassis 1 through a longitudinal rod. The belt conveyor 6 is slidably connected to the lifting guide rail 8 through a slide 10 symmetrically arranged on the two vertical rods, and the lifting hydraulic cylinder 9 is arranged between the two vertical rods, and the lower end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the rectangular frame structure, and the upper end is connected to the belt conveyor 6.

[0023] The cigarette frame 7 is a U-shaped frame, and a groove is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped frame for the fork of the forklift to pass through. The cigarette frame 7 is a wooden frame or a plastic frame, which is light in weight, low in price, and has good economical practicality.

[0024] Working principle:

[0025] When cigarette packages need to be unloaded and framed, the mobile handling manipulator is parked close to the transport vehicle so that the moving direction of the belt conveyor is parallel to the parking direction of the transport vehicle. Then, the belt conveyor 6 is lifted to a suitable height by the lifting hydraulic cylinder 9. The forklift (not shown in the figure) lifts the first cigarette frame 7 and places it on the belt conveyor 6 from position A. Then, the belt conveyor 6 moves the first cigarette frame 7 to position B and then pauses. The gripping arm 2 drives the gripper 3 to move and grab the cigarette packages on the transport vehicle 5 and put them into the cigarette frame at position B. At the same time, the forklift lifts the second cigarette frame 7 and places it on the belt conveyor 6 from position A. After the cigarette frame at position B is full of cigarette packages, the belt conveyor 6 moves the first cigarette frame full of cigarette packages to position C. Synchronously, the second cigarette frame moves to position B. Then, another forklift (not shown in the figure) forks the first cigarette frame full of cigarette packages from position C of the belt conveyor to realize an unloading cycle. This cycle is repeated to complete the unloading and framing of cigarette packages relatively quickly.

[0026] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the confidentiality of the utility model in any form. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the utility model without departing from the technical solution of the utility model still falls within the scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
