It is used to receive the strip boxes output by the conveying mechanism. On the side of the box-pushing channel facing away from the conveying mechanism, there is a photoelectric detector facing the conveying channel, which is used to detect the in-place signal of the strip boxes on the box-pushing channel. Among the two long ends of the box-pushing channel, one end leads to the next working station, and the other end is provided with a box-pushing cylinder. The strip boxes conveyed by the conveying mechanism and reaching the box-pushing channel are pushed towards the next working station by the box-pushing cylinder.

[0014] When a strip box output by the conveying mechanism is received on the box pushing channel, the conveying belt and the boosting belts on both sides run in the reverse direction, and the reverse displacement amount is 5 mm.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are embodied in:

[0016] The present utility model can be used to replace the traditional operation mode that completely relies on manually placing the strip box. By using the cooperative operation of the conveying mechanism and the box pushing mechanism, the sequential conveying of the strip box to the downstream workstations is realized orderly. The conveying is stable and reliable, improving the operation safety and operation efficiency, and being able to better match the automated production speed, which helps to maximize the operation rate of the existing machines.

Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , the cigarette strip box conveying device for special-shaped products in this embodiment includes a conveying mechanism and a box pushing mechanism, where:

[0024] The conveying mechanism 1 conveys the strip boxes through the conveying belt 11. On both sides above the conveying belt 11, a pair of vertically standing assisting belts 12 are symmetrically arranged. The pair of assisting belts 12 and the conveying belt 11 have the same power source and run synchronously and in the same direction. A conveying channel is formed between them. The strip boxes are horizontally placed on the conveying belt 11, with the long side perpendicular to the assisting belts 12 and having a gap between the pair of assisting belts 12, and are conveyed towards the box pushing channel 21 of the box pushing mechanism 2 along with the operation of the conveying belt 11.

[0025] The box pushing channel 21 of the box pushing mechanism 2 is connected to the end of the conveying channel, and they are distributed in a T shape, for receiving the strip boxes output by the conveying mechanism 1. On the side of the box pushing channel 21 facing away from the conveying mechanism 1, an optoelectronic detector 22 facing the conveying channel is provided, for detecting the in-place signal of the strip boxes on the box pushing channel 21. Among the two long ends of the box pushing channel 21, one end leads to the next working station, and the other end is provided with a box pushing cylinder 23, and the strip boxes conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1 and reaching the box pushing channel 21 are pushed to the next working station through the box pushing cylinder 23.

[0026] In specific implementation, the corresponding structural settings of this device also include:

[0027] The distance between the pair of assisting belts 12 is 2 cm larger than the length of the strip boxes.

[0028] The width of the pushing channel is 2 cm larger than the width of the strip boxes.

[0029] The power source of the conveying mechanism 1 is a servo motor 13. The motor shaft of the servo motor 13 is directly connected to the wheel shaft of the driving wheel 14. Taking the wheel shaft of the driving wheel 14 as the power output shaft, the power output shaft drives the conveying driving pulley 18 of the conveying belt 11 to rotate through the transmission of the first transmission mechanism, and drives the assisting driving pulley 20 of the pair of assisting belts 12 to rotate through the sequential transmission of the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission tube mechanism.

[0030] The first transmission mechanism is a belt transmission mechanism, including a toothed belt 15, a driving toothed belt pulley 16, and a driven toothed belt pulley 17. The driving toothed belt pulley 16 is coaxially connected to the driving wheel 14. The axle of the conveying driving belt pulley 18 is coaxially connected to the axle of the driven toothed belt pulley 17. The toothed belt 15 is wound between the driving toothed belt pulley 16 and the driven toothed belt pulley 17. A set of second transmission mechanisms are respectively configured for each side of the boosting belts 12. Each second transmission mechanism on each side is a bevel gear transmission mechanism 19. The axle of the driving bevel gear is coaxially connected to the axle of the conveying driving belt pulley 18 and the axle of the driven toothed belt pulley 17. The axle of the driven bevel gear is erected and coaxially connected to the axle of the boosting driving belt pulley 20.

[0031] The axles of the driving toothed belt pulley 16, the driven toothed belt pulley 17, the conveying driving belt pulley 18, and the driving bevel gear are horizontal, and the axles of the driven bevel gear and the boosting driving belt pulley 20 are erected.

[0032] When the strip carton received by the pushing carton channel 21 from the output of the conveying mechanism 1, the conveying belt 11 and the boosting belts 12 on both sides run in opposite directions, and the reverse displacement is 5 mm.

[0033] The execution end of the pushing carton cylinder 23 is provided with a pushing carton plate 24, and the strip carton on the pushing carton channel 21 is pushed flat through the pushing carton plate 24.

[0034] Working process:

[0035] The strip carton enters the conveying channel and is conveyed by the conveying belt 11 to the pushing carton channel 21. During the process, the attitude is stably maintained by a pair of boosting belts 12, so that the attitude of the strip carton entering the pushing carton channel 21 remains unchanged. The long direction of the strip carton is along the long direction of the pushing carton channel 21, that is, along the pushing direction of the pushing carton cylinder 23. When the photoelectric detector 22 detects the in-place signal of the strip carton on the pushing carton channel 21, the servo motor 13 drives the conveying belt 11 and a pair of boosting belts 12 to run in the reverse direction and retreat 5 mm. The purpose is to avoid the contact between the strip carton at the end of the conveying channel and the strip carton on the pushing carton channel 21 and avoid interference with the pushing of the carton. After that, the pushing carton cylinder 23 acts to push the strip carton on the pushing carton channel 21 to the next working station.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
