[0031] Reference Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the cigarette pack conveying device includes a first conveyor belt 1 and a protection assembly 2.

[0032] The first conveyor belt 1 is configured to convey cigarette packs.

[0033] The protection assembly 2 includes a limiting member 21. The limiting member 21 is movably provided at the end of the first conveyor belt 1. The limiting member 21 has a first working position and a second working position. The limiting member 21 is configured to limit the cigarette pack in the first working position, and the limiting member 21 is configured to avoid the cigarette pack in the second working position.

[0034] In some related technologies, the first conveyor belt 1 conveys cigarette packs. After the cigarette pack reaches the end of the first conveyor belt 1, the cigarette pack can be transferred by the equipment of the next process. Generally, after the equipment of the next process is docked with the first conveyor belt 1 in place, the cigarette pack on the first conveyor belt 1 is conveyed to the equipment of the next process. This process can judge whether the equipment of the next process is in place through the electric control system. Due to the misjudgment of the electric control system, there is a risk that the cigarette pack on the first conveyor belt 1 rushes out of the conveyor belt and falls, posing a great hidden danger to production safety.

[0035] Based on this, the cigarette pack conveying device provided by the embodiments of this utility model includes a first conveyor belt 1 and a protection assembly 2. The limiting member 21 of the protection assembly 2 is arranged at the end of the first conveyor belt 1. The limiting member 21 includes a first working position and a second working position. In the state of the first working position, the limiting member 21 can limit the cigarette pack. In the state of the second working position, the limiting member 21 can avoid the cigarette pack. Therefore, before the equipment of the next process is in place, the limiting member 21 is in the first working position to limit the cigarette pack, and after the equipment of the next process is in place, the limiting member 21 is in the second working position to avoid the cigarette pack, enabling the cigarette pack to be smoothly transferred from the first conveyor belt 1 to the equipment of the next process, which can prevent the cigarette pack from rushing out of the first conveyor belt 1 during the conveying process, greatly improving the safety and stability of the tobacco production line and ensuring that the entire production process can operate safely and efficiently.

[0036] In some embodiments, the equipment for the next process includes an elevator before the unpacking process. The first conveyor belt 1 transports the cigarette packs. After the cigarette packs reach the end of the first conveyor belt 1, due to the obvious height difference between the first conveyor belt 1 and the elevator 3, the elevator 3 rises into place. After docking with the first conveyor belt 1, the limit member 21 is placed in the second position to avoid the cigarette packs, so that the cigarette packs are smoothly transferred from the first conveyor belt 1 to the elevator 3. This can avoid the risk of cigarette packs rushing out of the first conveyor belt 1 due to misjudgment of the electronic control system when the elevator 3 is not in place, thereby preventing the risk of falling. Therefore, safe production can be ensured.

[0037] In some embodiments, the protection assembly 2 includes a connecting member 22, and the limiting member 21 is rotatably disposed at the end of the first conveyor belt 1 through the connecting member 22. The limiting member 21 is configured to rotate relative to the first conveyor belt 1 to switch between the first station and the second station.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the limiter 22 is rotatably connected to the end of the first conveyor belt 1 through the connecting member 22. It has a simple structure and is easy to install. It can provide safety limiting by mechanical limiting to prevent cigarette packs from rushing out of the conveyor belt, thereby improving production safety.

[0039] In some embodiments, the connecting member 22 includes a shaft, a pin, a bolt, or the like.

[0040] In some embodiments, the limiting member 21 includes a first component 211 and a second component 212 that are connected to each other. The connecting member 22 is inserted into the connection between the first component 211 and the second component 212. There is a preset angle between the first component 211 and the second component 212. The second component 212 is configured to rotate the limiting member 21 under the action of an external force, so that the first component 211 is in the first position to limit the cigarette package or the first component 211 is in the second position to avoid the cigarette package.

[0041] In the above embodiment, there is a preset angle greater than zero between the first component 211 and the second component 212. The setting of the preset angle is conducive to enabling the first component 211 to quickly switch between the first station and the second station under the action of force on the second component 212.

[0042] When the first component 211 is in the first position, it can limit the cigarette pack. When the first component 211 is in the second position, it can avoid the cigarette pack.

[0043] In some embodiments, the preset angle is greater than 90 degrees.

[0044] In some embodiments, the protection assembly 2 further includes a counterweight 23 , which is disposed on the second component 212 . The counterweight 23 is configured to move the second component 212 vertically downward and the first component 211 closer to the central axis of the first conveyor belt 1 .

[0045] In the above embodiments, the external force applied to the second component 212 includes the gravity of the counterweight 23.

[0046] Under the action of the gravity of the counterweight 23, the second component 212 moves vertically downward, causing the first component 211 to approach the central axis of the first conveyor belt 1, enabling the first component 211 to be in the first working position. When the second component 212 overcomes the gravity of the counterweight 23 under the action of other external forces, the first component 211 can move away from the central axis of the first conveyor belt 1, enabling the first component 211 to switch to the second working position.

[0047] In some embodiments, when the limiting member 21 is in the first working position, the first component 211 extends above the first conveyor belt 1 and is close to the central axis of the first conveyor belt 1 to limit the cigarette pack. At this time, the second component 212 is located below the first conveyor belt 1 and away from the central axis of the first conveyor belt 1.

[0048] When the limiting member 21 is in the second working position, the first component 211 is away from the central axis of the first conveyor belt 1 and close to the surface of the first conveyor belt 1 to avoid the cigarette pack. At this time, the second component 212 is basically flush with the first conveyor belt 1 and close to the central axis of the first conveyor belt 1.

[0049] In some embodiments, the cigarette pack conveying device further includes a lifter 3, and the lifter 3 is configured to rise to push the second component 212 so that the limiting member 21 is in the second working position.

[0050] In the above embodiments, the second component 212 is automatically pushed by the rising of the lifter 3. After the lifter 3 rises in place, the limiting member 21 is exactly in the second working position. This method can prevent misjudgment of the electric control system, effectively limit the cigarette pack from rushing out of the first conveyor belt 1 before the lifter 3 arrives, and improve the safety of production.

[0051] In some embodiments, the lifter 3 includes a second conveyor belt 31 and a push rod 32. The push rod 32 is provided at the end of the second conveyor belt 31. When the second conveyor belt 31 rises, it drives the push rod 32 to rise so that the push rod 32 pushes the second component 212.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the push rod 32 is provided at the end of the second conveyor belt 31. As the second conveyor belt 31 rises, the push rod 32 gradually rises and pushes the second component 212. The structural setting is ingenious and the operation is convenient, and the switching of the limiting member 21 from the first working position to the second working position can be automatically realized.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the second conveyor belt 31 and the first conveyor belt 1 are in the same horizontal plane, the limiting member 21 is in the second working position.

[0054] In the above embodiments, in a state where the second conveyor belt 31 and the first conveyor belt 1 are on the same horizontal plane, the limiting member 21 is exactly located at the second station. Through this mechanical switching method, when the elevator 3 is in place exactly, the limiting member 21 releases the limitation on the cigarette pack, which is safe and reliable.

[0055] In some embodiments, a buffer member is provided at the contact portion between the push rod 32 and the second member 212.

[0056] In the above embodiments, a buffer member is provided at the contact portion between the push rod 32 and the second member 212, which not only enhances the stability of the contact between the push rod 32 and the cigarette pack, but also reduces the noise and wear generated by friction.

[0057] In some embodiments, the buffer member includes a rubber gasket provided around the push rod 32.

[0058] In some embodiments, the number of the limiting members 21 is two. In the state of the first station of the two limiting members 21, the two first members 211 approach each other to limit the cigarette pack, and the two second members 212 move away from each other. In the state of the second station of the two limiting members 21, the two first members 211 move away from each other to avoid the cigarette pack, and the two second members 212 approach each other.

[0059] In some embodiments, the working process of the cigarette pack conveying device is as follows: When the cigarette pack is conveyed forward along the first conveyor belt 1, but the elevator 3 has not risen to the designated position, the protection component 2 is in the working state, and the limiting member 21 is in the first station, which can limit the cigarette pack to prevent the cigarette pack from rushing out of the first conveyor belt 1 due to misjudgment of the electric control system. When the elevator 3 moves upward, the push rod 32 first contacts the counterweight 23 provided on the second member 212 of the limiting member 21 and pushes the counterweight 23 to rise, thereby driving the limiting member 21 to rotate, and the limiting member 21 switches to the second station, and the limiting function of the protection component 2 is released accordingly. The cigarette pack can be conveyed forward as usual and enters the unpacking process through the elevator 3.

[0060] By introducing the protection component 2 provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the safety of cigarette pack conveying on the production line has been significantly improved. This device can effectively limit the cigarette pack from rushing out of the conveyor belt before the elevator arrives, thus avoiding potential falling risks. At the same time, the design of this device takes into account stability and durability, so that it can maintain stable operation for a long time during actual use, reducing the maintenance cost. In addition, this device also has the characteristics of simple installation and operation, making it easy to promote and use in actual applications, providing a strong guarantee for the safe operation of the tobacco production line, and greatly reducing the safety production risks of tobacco unpacking and conveying.

[0061] During actual use, the protection component 2 demonstrated excellent performance and stability. Even during the high-speed and continuous conveying of cigarette packs, it can effectively prevent the cigarette packs from rushing out of the conveyor belt, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the production line, greatly reducing potential safety hazards, and ensuring the safety and stability of workshop production.
