[0036] Technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0037] Current cigarette manufacturing plants all use the method of sealing the end faces of cigarette packs and cartons by means of a cam rotating to drive a connecting rod. The connecting rod is connected to a swing rod, and the rotation of the swing rod drives a soldering iron fixed on the connecting rod to achieve fitting and leaving the end faces of the cigarette packs and cartons, thereby realizing the ironing and shaping of the cigarette strip oil seal. The disadvantage of the cam drive technology is that the number of parts in the cam mechanism is relatively large, the structure is relatively complex, the manufacturing difficulty of the cam is relatively high, the cost is high, the cam is prone to wear after a long period of high-speed movement, and the installation and later maintenance and debugging of the cam mechanism are relatively difficult, which is not conducive to the high-efficiency production of tobacco packaging and processing equipment.

[0038] As Figures 1 - 14 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a carton end face sealing mechanism based on cylinder pushing, which includes: a cylinder 5, the cylinder 5 is connected with a connecting rod 6, the other end of the connecting rod 6 is connected with a rocker arm 9, a rotating shaft 11 is arranged in the rocker arm 9, and the other end of the rotating shaft 11 is connected with a soldering iron mechanism 12, wherein: the cylinder 5 is telescopic to push the connecting rod 6 to move forward or backward, and further push the rocker arm 9 to swing circumferentially or rotate in the reverse direction. The rotation of the rocker arm 9 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 11, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 11 drives the soldering iron mechanism 12 to rotate to be close to or leave the end face 13 of the carton.

[0039] Wherein, the extending push rod of the cylinder 5 is connected with the drilled and tapped hole on the first end of the connecting rod 6 by drilling and tapping. The cylinder 5 is connected with the connecting rod 6 through its extending push rod and the drilled and tapped hole on the connecting rod 6. Further, the second end of the connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected with the rocker arm 9 through a second pin shaft 7, and a bushing 8 is sleeved on the second pin shaft 7.

[0040] Furthermore, the carton end face sealing mechanism based on cylinder pushing further includes a box body 1, a cylinder seat 2 is arranged on the box body 1, and the cylinder seat 2 is connected with the cylinder 5. The cylinder pushing carton end face sealing mechanism of the present invention is connected with the cylinder 5 through the cylinder seat 2 installed on the box body 1.

[0041] Specifically, the cylinder seat 2 is connected with the cylinder 5 through a first pin shaft 4, and in an embodiment of the present invention, a copper sleeve 3 is sleeved on the first pin shaft 4.

[0042] During operation, after the cylinder 5 receives a control signal, the extending push rod of the cylinder 5 extends, pushing the connecting rod 6 connected to the cylinder 5 to move forward. The forward movement of the connecting rod 6 drives the rocker arm 9 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6 to swing circumferentially. At this time, the linear motion of the cylinder 5 and the connecting rod 6 is converted into circular motion by the rocker arm 9. The rotation of the rocker arm 9 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 11, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 11 drives the soldering iron mechanism 12 to rotate close to the end face 13 of the strip box. The soldering iron on the soldering iron mechanism 12 heats up to complete the sealing of the end face 13 of the strip box. After the sealing is completed, the extending push rod of the cylinder 5 retracts, pulling the connecting rod 6 connected to the cylinder 5 to move backward. The backward movement of the connecting rod 6 pulls the rocker arm 9 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6 to rotate in the reverse direction. The reverse rotation of the rocker arm 9 drives the reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 11, and the reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 11 drives the soldering iron mechanism 12 to rotate in the reverse direction away from the end face 13 of the strip box. The strip box end face sealing mechanism of the present invention completes a cycle of motion.

[0043] The strip box end face sealing mechanism based on cylinder pushing provided by the embodiment of the present invention uses a cylinder to connect a connecting rod during the process of ironing and sealing the end face of a cigarette packet strip box. The connecting rod drives the rocker arm to rotate, and the rotation of the rocker arm drives the soldering iron fixed on the rocker arm to approach the end face of the cigarette packet strip box for sealing. After completion, the cylinder retracts, the rocker arm moves back, and the soldering iron moves away from the end face of the cigarette packet strip box to complete the action. Such a design solves the problems that the cam mechanism has a complex structure, difficult installation and later maintenance and debugging, and is not conducive to the high-efficiency production of tobacco packaging and processing equipment.

[0044] Further, the rocker arm 9 is fixedly connected to the keyway on the rotating shaft 11 through its own keyway and a key. Furthermore, a screw 10 is inserted through the side wall of the rocker arm 9 to achieve a secondary fixed connection between the rocker arm 9 and the rotating shaft 11 to ensure stable and reliable transmission.

[0045] Further, the other end of the rotating shaft 11 is connected to the soldering iron mechanism 12 by a fixed method of a key and a keyway. In some embodiments of the present invention, keyways are designed on both the rotating shaft 11 and the soldering iron mechanism 12. Furthermore, through holes are provided on the soldering iron mechanism 12 to achieve a secondary fixed connection between the soldering iron mechanism 12 and the rotating shaft 11 through the cooperation of screws and nuts.

[0046] During operation, after the cylinder 5 receives a control signal, the extending push rod of the cylinder 5 extends, pushing the connecting rod 6 connected to the cylinder 5 to move forward. The forward movement of the connecting rod 6 drives the rocker arm 9 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6 to swing circumferentially. At this time, the linear motion of the cylinder 5 and the connecting rod 6 is converted into circular motion through the rocker arm 9. The rotation of the rocker arm 9 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 11, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 11 drives the soldering iron mechanism 12 to rotate close to the end face 13 of the strip box. The soldering iron on the soldering iron mechanism 12 heats up to complete the sealing of the end face 13 of the strip box. After the sealing is completed, the extending push rod of the cylinder 5 retracts, pulling the connecting rod 6 connected to the cylinder 5 to move backward. The backward movement of the connecting rod 6 pulls the rocker arm 9 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6 to rotate in the reverse direction. The reverse rotation of the rocker arm 9 drives the reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 11, and the reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 11 drives the soldering iron mechanism 12 to rotate in the reverse direction to leave the end face 13 of the strip box. The strip box end face sealing mechanism of the present utility model completes a cycle of movement.

[0047] The strip box end face sealing mechanism based on cylinder pushing provided by the embodiment of the present utility model. The cylinder expands and contracts to push the connecting rod to move forward or backward, and then drives the rocker arm to swing circumferentially or rotate in the reverse direction. The rotation of the rocker arm drives the rotation of the rotating shaft, and the rotation of the rotating shaft drives the soldering iron mechanism to rotate close to or away from the end face of the strip box. By redesigned the power transmission structure and method of the end face sealing soldering iron, the structure is simple, which is convenient for installation, debugging and later maintenance, improves the production and manufacturing efficiency, reduces the production cost, and is of great significance for the enterprise to reduce costs and increase efficiency. At the same time, the cylinder control can realize the rapid opening and closing of the soldering iron plate, and the sealing effect on the end face of the cigarette strip is more ideal.
