Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveying equipment, in particular to an adjustable cigarette pushing structure. Background Art

[0002] In the existing tobacco market, the types of cigarette specifications are increasing day by day. Due to different cigarette specifications, the sizes of cigarette boxes are also different. As a result, in the automated sorting sites of tobacco, the cigarette pushing mechanisms of most automatic box opening machines often have problems such as cigarette pushing and scattering, frequent damage to cigarette boxes and cartons of cigarettes, etc., seriously affecting the sorting efficiency.

[0003] In order to effectively avoid situations such as cigarette pushing and scattering, damage to cigarette boxes and cartons of cigarettes, and improve the sorting efficiency, the tobacco logistics sorting urgently needs a cigarette pushing structure that can adapt to different specifications of cigarettes and different sizes of cigarette boxes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an adjustable cigarette pushing structure that can adapt to different specifications of cigarettes and different sizes of cigarette boxes and improve the sorting efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] An adjustable cigarette pushing structure includes a frame, a cigarette box fixing mechanism, a lateral pushing mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a cigarette pushing mechanism;

[0007] The lateral pushing mechanism is installed on the frame and is connected to the cigarette pushing mechanism through the lifting mechanism;

[0008] The cigarette box fixing mechanism is installed on the frame and is placed below the lifting mechanism.

[0009] In this technical solution, the adjustable cigarette pushing structure is arranged on one side of the carton of cigarettes conveying line and is directly opposite to the cigarette pushing station on the carton of cigarettes conveying line. When the opened cigarette box loaded with cartons of cigarettes is conveyed to the cigarette pushing station by the carton of cigarettes conveying line, the cigarette box fixing mechanism and the carton of cigarettes conveying line cooperate to clamp the box leaves of the cigarette box, thereby fixing the cigarette box. Then, the lifting mechanism drives the cigarette pushing mechanism to make the cigarette pushing mechanism adapt to the size of the cigarette box and be directly opposite to the box opening of the cigarette box. Finally, the lateral pushing mechanism pushes the lifting mechanism and the cigarette pushing mechanism, and the cigarette pushing mechanism touches the top of the cartons of cigarettes, and pushes the cartons of cigarettes out of the cigarette box.

[0010] This technical solution can adapt to different specifications of cigarettes and different sizes of cigarette boxes and improve the sorting efficiency.

[0011] Further, the lifting mechanism includes a connecting seat, a lifting unit, and a vertical guiding unit;

[0012] The lateral pushing mechanism is connected to the connecting seat;

[0013] The lifting unit and the vertical guiding unit are both mounted on the connecting seat and are both connected to the cigarette pushing mechanism.

[0014] In this technical solution, through the cooperation of the vertical guiding unit, the stability of the lifting unit driving the cigarette pushing mechanism to lift can be improved.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting unit includes a motor, a lead screw, a nut, a first cylinder, and an auxiliary component;

[0016] The lead screw is installed on the connecting seat through a lead screw seat and extends along the vertical direction;

[0017] The nut is installed on the lead screw to achieve the transmission cooperation of the lead screw;

[0018] The first cylinder is connected to the nut through the auxiliary component, and the output rod of the first cylinder expands and contracts along the vertical direction and is connected to the cigarette pushing mechanism;

[0019] The motor is connected to the lead screw, driving the lead screw to rotate, so that the nut moves linearly along the extension direction of the lead screw, thereby driving the first cylinder and the cigarette pushing mechanism to lift.

[0020] In this technical solution, through the lead screw transmission and the cylinder transmission (double-layer transmission), the lifting value of the cigarette pushing mechanism is maximized, and it can be suitable for more sizes of cigarette boxes.

[0021] Furthermore, the auxiliary component includes a cylinder seat, a guide rail, and a slider;

[0022] The guide rail is installed on the connecting seat and extends along the vertical direction;

[0023] The cylinder seat is slidably connected to the guide rail through the slider;

[0024] The first cylinder is installed on the cylinder seat.

[0025] In this technical solution, through the cooperation of the auxiliary component, the stability of the cigarette pushing mechanism during the lifting process can be further improved.

[0026] Furthermore, the cigarette box fixing mechanism includes a fixing seat, a second cylinder, and a pressing plate;

[0027] The fixing seat is connected to the frame;

[0028] The second cylinder is installed on the fixing seat, and its output rod expands and contracts along the horizontal direction and is connected to the pressing plate.

[0029] Furthermore, the cigarette pushing mechanism includes a fixed cigarette pushing plate and a movable cigarette pushing plate;

[0030] The fixed cigarette pushing plate is fixedly connected to the connecting seat;

[0031] The movable cigarette pushing plate is respectively connected to the lifting unit and the vertical guiding unit. The movable cigarette pushing plate and the fixed cigarette pushing plate are partially overlapped, and are provided with cigarette pushing protrusions.

[0032] In this technical solution, the lifting unit drives the movable cigarette pushing plate to lift, thereby changing the cigarette pushing area of the entire cigarette pushing mechanism. And through the cigarette pushing protrusions, one or two layers of cigarette cartons in the cigarette box can be pushed first, so that the cigarette cartons in the corresponding layer are misaligned with those in other layers, thereby reducing the difficulty of pushing cigarettes.

[0033] Furthermore, it further includes a horizontal guiding mechanism, which is installed on the frame and connected to the lifting mechanism.

[0034] In this technical solution, through the cooperation of the horizontal guiding mechanism, the stability of the horizontal pushing mechanism when pushing the lifting mechanism and the cigarette pushing mechanism can be improved.

[0035] Furthermore, it further includes a dust cover, which is installed on the frame and is placed around the horizontal pushing mechanism and the horizontal guiding mechanism, wrapping the horizontal pushing mechanism and the horizontal guiding mechanism inside to prevent the horizontal pushing mechanism and the horizontal guiding mechanism from being dusty.

[0036] Furthermore, the horizontal guiding mechanism includes a guiding seat and a guiding column;

[0037] The guiding seat is installed on the frame;

[0038] The guiding column is slidably connected to the guiding seat.

[0039] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame is provided with horizontal adjusting feet for adjusting the overall levelness of the adjustable cigarette pushing structure, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of cigarette pushing.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the principle and advantages of this technical solution are as follows:

[0041] 1. The adjustable cigarette pushing structure is arranged on one side of the cigarette conveying line and is directly opposite to the cigarette pushing station on the cigarette conveying line. When the opened cigarette box loaded with cigarette cartons is conveyed to the cigarette pushing station by the cigarette conveying line, the cigarette box fixing mechanism and the cigarette conveying line cooperate to clamp the box leaves of the cigarette box, thereby fixing the cigarette box. Then, the lifting mechanism drives the cigarette pushing mechanism, so that the cigarette pushing mechanism adapts to the size of the cigarette box and is directly opposite to the box opening of the cigarette box. Finally, the horizontal pushing mechanism pushes the lifting mechanism and the cigarette pushing mechanism, and the cigarette pushing mechanism touches the top of the cigarette cartons, and pushes the cigarette cartons out of the cigarette box. This technical solution can adapt to different specifications of cigarettes and different sizes of cigarette boxes, and improve the sorting efficiency.

[0042] 2. Through the screw drive and the cylinder drive (double-layer drive), the lifting value of the cigarette pushing mechanism is maximized, and it can be suitable for more sizes of cigarette boxes.

[0043] 3. The lifting unit drives the movable cigarette pushing plate to lift, thereby changing the cigarette pushing area of the entire cigarette pushing mechanism. The cigarette pushing convex part can first push one or two layers of cigarette cartons in the cigarette box, causing the cigarette cartons in the corresponding layer to be misaligned with those in other layers, thereby reducing the difficulty of cigarette pushing.

[0055] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, an adjustable cigarette pushing structure described in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a cigarette box fixing mechanism, a lateral pushing mechanism 21 (a third cylinder), a lifting mechanism, a cigarette pushing mechanism, a lateral guiding mechanism, and a dust-proof cover 17.

[0056] Among them, a horizontal adjusting foot 20 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1 for adjusting the overall levelness of the adjustable cigarette pushing structure, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of cigarette pushing.

[0057] Both the lateral pushing mechanism 21 and the lateral guiding mechanism are installed on the frame 1 and are both connected to the cigarette pushing mechanism through the lifting mechanism.

[0058] The dust-proof cover 17 is installed on the frame 1 and is placed outside the lateral pushing mechanism 21 and the lateral guiding mechanism, wrapping the lateral pushing mechanism 21 and the lateral guiding mechanism inside to prevent dust from entering the lateral pushing mechanism 21 and the lateral guiding mechanism.

[0059] The cigarette box fixing mechanism is installed on the frame 1 and is placed below the lifting mechanism.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a connecting seat 2, a lifting unit, and a vertical guiding unit 3.

[0061] The cigarette pushing mechanism includes a fixed cigarette pushing plate 14 and a movable cigarette pushing plate 15 (L-shaped, formed by connecting a horizontal plate and a vertical plate), and the fixed cigarette pushing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 2; the movable cigarette pushing plate 15 is provided with a cigarette pushing protrusion 16.

[0062] The lifting unit includes a motor 4, a lead screw 5, a nut 6, a first cylinder 7, and an auxiliary component; the lead screw 5 is installed on the connecting seat 2 through a lead screw seat 5 and extends along the vertical direction; the nut 6 is installed on the lead screw 5 to achieve the transmission cooperation of the lead screw 5; the first cylinder 7 is connected to the nut 6 through the auxiliary component, and the output rod of the first cylinder 7 extends and retracts along the vertical direction and is connected to the movable cigarette pushing plate 15; the motor 4 is connected to the lead screw 5 to drive the lead screw 5 to rotate, so that the nut 6 moves linearly along the extension direction of the lead screw 5, thereby driving the first cylinder 7 and the movable cigarette pushing plate 15 to lift.

[0063] The auxiliary component includes a cylinder seat 8, a guide rail 9, and a slider 10; the guide rail 9 is installed on the connecting seat 2 and extends along the vertical direction; the cylinder seat 8 is slidably connected to the guide rail 9 through the slider 10; the first cylinder 7 is installed on the cylinder seat 8.

[0064] The vertical guiding unit 3 includes a first guiding seat and a vertically arranged first guiding column. The first guiding seat is installed on the connecting seat 2; the first guiding column is slidably connected to the first guiding seat and is connected to the moving cigarette pushing plate 15.

[0065] The horizontal guiding mechanism includes a second guiding seat 18 and a horizontally arranged second guiding column 19; the second guiding seat 18 is installed on the frame 1; the second guiding column 19 is slidably connected to the second guiding seat 18 and is connected to the connecting seat 2.

[0066] The cigarette box fixing mechanism includes a fixing seat 11, a second cylinder 12, and a pressing plate 13; the fixing seat 11 is connected to the frame 1; the second cylinder 12 is installed on the fixing seat 11, and its output rod extends and retracts along the horizontal direction and is connected to the pressing plate 13.

[0067] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0068] The adjustable cigarette pushing structure is arranged on one side of the cigarette conveying line and is directly opposite to the cigarette pushing station on the cigarette conveying line.

[0069] When the opened cigarette box loaded with cigarettes is conveyed to the cigarette pushing station by the cigarette conveying line, the second cylinder 12 drives the pressing plate 13 to move towards the cigarette box, and cooperates with the side of the cigarette conveying line to clamp the box leaves of the cigarette box, thereby fixing the cigarette box.

[0070] Then, the motor 4 drives the lead screw 5 to rotate through gears and a transmission belt, so that the nut 6 (under the cooperation of the guide rail 9 and the slider 10) drives the cylinder seat 8, the first cylinder 7, and the moving cigarette pushing plate 15 to move linearly (lift) along the extension direction of the lead screw 5. And the first cylinder 7 can drive the moving cigarette pushing plate 15 to perform a secondary lift (during the lifting process, the first guiding seat and the vertically arranged first guiding column cooperate for guiding). The cigarette pushing mechanism is driven by the lifting mechanism, so that the cigarette pushing mechanism adapts to the size of the cigarette box and is directly opposite to the box opening of the cigarette box.

[0071] Finally, the lateral pushing mechanism 21 (the third cylinder) pushes the lifting mechanism and the cigarette pushing mechanism. The fixed cigarette pushing plate 14 and the moving cigarette pushing plate 15 in the cigarette pushing mechanism touch the cigarettes at the top, and push the cigarettes out of the cigarette box.

[0072] In the above, the moving cigarette pushing plate 15 is lifted and lowered by the lifting unit, thereby changing the cigarette pushing area of the entire cigarette pushing mechanism. And through the cigarette pushing convex part 16, one or two layers of cigarettes in the cigarette box can be pushed first, so that the cigarettes in the corresponding layer are misaligned with the cigarettes in other layers, thereby reducing the difficulty of cigarette pushing.

[0073] Through the lead screw drive and the cylinder drive (double-layer drive), the lifting value of the cigarette pushing mechanism is maximized, and it can be suitable for more sizes of cigarette boxes.

[0074] The above-described embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. Therefore, any changes made according to the shape and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
