[0029] The present utility model provides the following description with reference to the drawings to help comprehensively understand various embodiments of the present utility model as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to facilitate understanding, but these details should be regarded as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present utility model.

[0030] In the description of the present utility model, the orientation descriptions involved, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0031] It should be understood that when an element (for example, the first element) is "connected" to another element (for example, the second element), the element can be directly connected to the other element, or there can be an intermediate element (for example, the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0032] Embodiments of the present utility model provide a carton feeding mechanism for a cigarette packing machine, as Figure 1-7 shown, including:

[0033] A workbench 100, the workbench 100 includes an upper platform 110 and side plates 120. The upper platform 110 is used for packaging the packages, the upper platform 110 is provided with a carton outlet 130, and the side plates 120 are provided with a carton inlet 140;

[0034] A conveyor belt 200, which is used for conveying the packages to be packed, and one end of the conveyor belt 200 passes through the carton inlet 140;

[0035] The lifting mechanism 300 is located at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 200 for receiving the packages to be sealed conveyed by the conveyor belt 200. The lifting mechanism 300 is docked with the box outlet 130 and is used to lift the packages to be sealed to the box outlet 130.

[0036] The pushing mechanism 400 includes a push box rod 410 for pushing the packages to be sealed at the box outlet 130 onto the upper platform 110.

[0037] Since the conveying plane of the conveyor belt 200 is not consistent with the plane of the upper platform 110 of the workbench 100, it is necessary to convey the packages to be sealed on the conveyor belt 200 into the lifting mechanism 300. The conveyor belt 200 passes through the box inlet 140 on the workbench 100 and is docked with the lifting mechanism 300. The lifting mechanism 300 moves the packages to be sealed onto the plane of the upper platform 110. When the packages to be sealed move to the box outlet 130, the push box rod 410 pushes the packages to be sealed away from the box outlet 130 to reach the plane of the upper platform 110, so that the sealing machine can perform subsequent sealing operations. This design can improve packaging efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and also reduce the probability of packaging errors.

[0038] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 300 includes a lifting mechanism 320 for lifting the packages to be sealed and a limiting mechanism 330 for restricting the position of the packages to be sealed.

[0039] The lifting mechanism 320 is responsible for physically lifting the packages to be sealed. This involves some form of robotic arm, pneumatic cylinder or other type of drive device that can provide sufficient force and precise control to lift the packages. The limiting mechanism 330 works in conjunction with the lifting mechanism 320 to ensure that the packages to be sealed maintain the correct position during the lifting and moving process. The limiting mechanism 330 includes guide rails, fixed fixtures or other positioning mechanisms to prevent the packages from shifting or tilting during the moving process. This design allows the lifting mechanism 300 to not only move the packages from the conveyor belt 200 to the workbench 100, but also ensure the stability and accuracy of the packages during the moving process, which is crucial for the subsequent sealing process. The following are some possible implementation methods:

[0040] Pneumatic or hydraulic drive: Use a pneumatic or hydraulic system to drive the lifting mechanism 320 to achieve a fast and powerful lifting action.

[0041] Servo motor control: Utilize a servo motor to provide precise control to ensure the accuracy of the lifting and positioning process.

[0042] Sensor feedback: Integrate sensors to monitor the position and status of the packages in order to adjust the actions of the lifting and limiting mechanism 330 in real time.

[0043] With this design, the carton feeding mechanism of the cigarette packing machine can process the packages to be sealed more efficiently and accurately, improving the automation level and reliability of the entire packaging process.

[0044] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 320 includes a lifting frame 321 that can move in the vertical direction and two lifting rods 322 movably connected to the lifting frame 321. Horizontally, the two lifting rods 322 can move away from or close to each other.

[0045] The vertical movement of the lifting frame 321 can be driven by a cylinder, a motor, or other power devices. The two lifting rods 322 are designed to be able to move away from or close to each other, so that the two lifting rods 322 can adjust their positions according to the packages to be sealed of different sizes to adapt to packages of different sizes.

[0046] Furthermore, the lifting rod 322 includes a blocking portion 323 and a lifting portion 324 that are perpendicularly arranged. One end of the blocking portion 323 is movably fixed to the lifting frame 321, and the other end of the blocking portion 323 is connected to the lifting portion 324.

[0047] The blocking portion 323 is a vertical support structure that can prevent the next package to be sealed from entering the lifting mechanism 300 during the lifting process. One end of the blocking portion 323 is connected to the lifting portion 324, and the other end fixed to the lifting frame 321 can change the fixed position as needed. The lifting portion 324 is responsible for realizing the vertical movement of the package. It is designed as a rod perpendicular to the blocking portion 323. The lifting portion 324 needs to have sufficient strength and stiffness to bear the weight of the package and ensure stability during the lifting process.

[0048] In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 330 includes:

[0049] A first limiting structure 331 for positioning the package to be sealed in the forward direction;

[0050] A second limiting structure 332 for preventing the package to be sealed from shaking during the lifting process. The first limiting structure 331 is fixed to the bottom of the second limiting structure 332.

[0051] The function of this structure is to ensure the accurate positioning of the package to be sealed in the forward direction. It includes some adjustable components to adapt to packages of different sizes and ensure their stability and accuracy during the conveying process. The second limiting structure 332 prevents the package to be sealed from shaking during the lifting process. The first limiting structure 331 is fixed to the bottom of the second limiting structure 332. This design allows the two structures to work together to provide stable positioning and support.

[0052] Further, the first limiting structure 331 includes a fixed seat 333 and a limiting seat 334 movably mounted on the fixed seat 333. The limiting seat 334 is used to limit the advancement of the package to be sealed.

[0053] The movability of the limiting seat 334 is achieved through screw adjustment, pin connection or other mechanical adjustment mechanisms, allowing the operator to adjust the position or angle of the limiting seat 334 as needed.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second limiting structure 332 includes two limiting plates 335 movable in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the vertical conveyor belt 200.

[0055] The design of the second limiting structure 332 includes two limiting plates 335 that can move in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 200. This design allows the limiting plates 335 to be adjusted as needed to accommodate objects of different widths. Specifically, these two limiting plates 335 can be adjusted independently to match packages of different sizes to be sealed, ensuring their stability during the lifting process.

[0056] In some embodiments, the propulsion mechanism 400 includes a driving device 420 fixed on the workbench 100. The pushing box rod 410 is connected to the driving device 420, and the driving device 420 drives the pushing box rod 410 to slide on the upper platform 110.

[0057] This driving device 420 is the power source of the propulsion mechanism 400 and can be a driver of electric, pneumatic or hydraulic type, etc., responsible for providing the required force to push the pushing box rod 410. The pushing box rod 410 is the component directly in contact with the package to be sealed and is responsible for pushing the package out of the box outlet 130. It is connected to the driving device 420 to receive power and perform the pushing action. The sliding of the pushing box rod 410 on the upper platform 110 can reduce friction and ensure that the pushing box rod 410 can smoothly push out the package.

[0058] Further, the pushing box rod 410 includes a pushing portion 430 located at its end for pushing the package to be sealed, and the pushing portion 430 is in the shape of a cuboid.

[0059] The cuboid-shaped pushing portion 430 provides a large contact area, which helps to provide more stable support when pushing the package and reduces the possibility of tipping or deviation during the pushing process.

[0060] In some embodiments, one end of the conveyor belt 200 is connected with a hydraulic lifting device 210 for adjusting the position of the conveyor belt 200.

[0061] The hydraulic lifting device 210 can provide smooth and precise height adjustment, enabling the conveyor belt 200 to be adjusted according to the position of the package or the requirements of different stages on the production line.

Therefore, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the various embodiments of the present utility model described above are provided for the purpose of illustration only, and not for the purpose of limiting the present utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
