Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveyors, in particular to a cigarette conveying transition roller. Background Art

[0002] Cigarette cartons pass through multiple workstations during the process from distribution to packaging, and are usually transported using multiple belt conveyors. However, cigarette cartons are relatively narrow compared to the gaps between conveyors. If they are thin cigarettes, they will be lighter and flatter. Therefore, when passing through the gaps between belt conveyors, they are prone to jumping, jamming, etc. Therefore, the assembly line needs to be equipped with at least one manual workstation to sort out the transported cigarette cartons, or additional inspectors are needed. The reason for this situation is generally believed to be caused by the diameter of the conveyor rollers themselves. The larger the diameter, the larger the gaps between conveyors. However, the diameter of the rollers needs to take into account factors such as the overall conveying length and load of the conveyor, and it is not possible to use thinner rollers locally, so the size of the rollers needs to be unified. To this end, the present application aims to solve the problem of transitional conveying in the gaps between conveyor belts. Summary of the invention

[0003] The utility model proposes a cigarette conveying transition roller, comprising two supporting plates arranged opposite to each other, a roller body and two pads arranged between the two supporting plates; the two pads are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the roller body, the pads are horizontally arranged and aligned with the top of the roller body; the roller body is rotatably connected to the supporting plates; the supporting plates are used for being installed on a belt conveyor.

[0004] The utility model is further configured as follows: it comprises a transmission roller, the transmission roller is in contact with and parallel to the drum body, and the transmission roller is used to contact the belt on the belt conveyor.

[0005] The utility model is further configured as follows: the transmission roller comprises a core shaft and a sleeve, the core shaft is inserted into the sleeve, two ends of the core shaft pass through the two support plates and are connected with nuts, and the sleeve is located between the two support plates.

[0006] The utility model is further configured as follows: an annular elongated hole is provided on the support plate, the center of the elongated hole is on the axis of the drum body, and the core shaft passes through the elongated hole.

[0007] The utility model is further configured as follows: the support plate is connected to a plurality of top screws for fixing.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0009] 1. During the whole process, the two pads and the roller body fill the gaps between the conveyors. At the same time, there is power intervention, so there will be no problems such as jumping and jamming, so that the cigarette strips can be smoothly transported between the conveyors.

[0010] 2. The cooperation between the extended hole and the transmission roller can adapt to the gap size between different conveyors, has specific adaptability adjustment ability, and can transmit the power of the belt to the roller body.

[0011] 3. The design of the pad effectively fills the gaps between conveyors and provides sufficient support for the transportation of cigarette strips. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a cigarette conveying transition roller, which includes a roller body 2, two supporting plates 3, two driving rollers 6, and two pads 5.

[0019] The roller body 2 is used to be arranged in the gap between the two conveyors 1, and two support plates 3 are arranged on the left and right sides of the two conveyors. The two ends of the roller body 2 are rotatably connected to the two support plates 3. Four top screws 4 are connected to the support plate 3 to tighten it on the body of the two conveyors 1, so as to fix the support plate 3.

[0020] The two pads 5 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the roller body 2. The two pads 5 are located between the two support plates 3 and are welded to the support plates 3, and are also located in the gap between the two conveyors 1. The length direction of the pads 5 is consistent with the axial direction of the roller body 2. The pads 5 are horizontally arranged and aligned with the top of the roller body 2, and also aligned with the top surface of the belt on the conveyor 1. It should also be mentioned here that the method of fixing with the top screw 4 is not only convenient for fixing, but also does not require the structure of the conveyor 1 to be modified, and such a fixing method makes the position of the support plate 3 adjustable and controllable, so the pads 5 can be aligned with the top surface of the belt of the conveyor 1.

[0021] The transmission roller 6 includes a core shaft 61 and a sleeve. The core shaft 61 is inserted into the sleeve, and both ends of the core shaft 61 pass through the support plate 3 and are connected to the nut 7, so as to fix the core shaft 61. The sleeve is located between the two support plates 3. The sleeve and the core shaft 61 can rotate relative to each other. The two transmission rollers 6 are respectively located under the two pads 5, and the transmission rollers 6 are in contact with and parallel to the roller body 2, and the transmission rollers 6 are used to contact the belt on the conveyor 1. When the conveyor 1 is running, the belt will drive the sleeve to rotate, and then drive the roller body 2 to rotate, and the conveying direction of the roller split will be consistent with the conveyor 1.

[0022] Furthermore, two annular extension holes 31 are provided on the support plate 3, and the center of the extension hole 31 is on the axis of the roller body 2. The mandrel 61 passes through the extension hole 31, which means that the relative position of the drive roller 6 and the roller body 2 can be adjusted, and the mandrel 61 fixed by the nut 7 is convenient for disassembly and position adjustment. The purpose of such design is to take into account that the size of the gap between the conveyors 1 is not fixed, and the position of each device on the assembly line is not easy to change once it is determined, so it is necessary to adapt the two conveyors 1. Whether the gap between the two conveyors 1 is large or small, it changes the position of the two drive rollers 6. Because the center of the extension hole 31 is located on the axis of the roller body 2, the drive roller 6 can maintain contact with the roller body 2 no matter how it moves in the extension hole 31, and then it only needs to change the position to ensure contact with the belt on the conveyor 1.

[0023] In specific applications, when the cigarette strips pass along the conveyor 1, they will first contact the pad 5 and be supported by the pad 5. As the cigarette strips move, they will contact the drum body 2. Since the drum body 2 is rotating, the drum body 2 will assist in the transportation of the cigarette strips, overcoming the problem of reduced power when the cigarette strips pass through the gaps in the conveyor 1. After passing through the drum body 2, the cigarette strips are still supported by the pad 5 until they reach the next conveyor 1. During the whole process, the two pads 5 and the drum body 2 fill the gaps between the conveyors 1, and at the same time, there is power involved, so there will be no problems such as jumping and jamming, so that the cigarette strips can be smoothly transported between the conveyors 1.
