Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette production and packaging, in particular to a cigarette tray folding placement rack and a packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] The packaging machine is the main production equipment for cigarettes. In order to reduce cigarette pack loss during daily production, machine operators will keep the cigarette packs that have been self-inspected, mistakenly rejected, and reworked in the cigarette tray and then add them to the equipment for rework.

[0003] There are two common ways to place the smoke tray: 1. Hook the lower part of the smoke tray on the bolts on the side of the cigarette pack conveying channel, and lean the back of the smoke tray against the protective cover of the outlet flip device on the back of the YB45 equipment (the smoke tray can only be placed in this position due to the equipment layout). 2. Use a separate load to support the smoke tray, such as placing the smoke tray directly on a stool.

[0004] Both of these placement methods have their shortcomings: First, when the equipment is running, especially when the operator takes a pack from the cigarette tray and adds it to the equipment, the vibration generated can easily loosen the cigarette tray hooked on the bolts on the side of the conveying channel, causing the cigarette tray to slide to the ground and break the cigarette packs in the cigarette tray. Second, since the cigarette pack conveying channel is located at a relatively high position, common load-bearing objects such as stools are relatively short, so the cigarette tray placed on the load-bearing object is much lower than the conveying channel, which is not conducive to taking the cigarette packs. If a higher load-bearing object is used, the load-bearing object is too high, which makes it inconvenient for the operator to walk and is easy to interfere with other equipment. In addition, the higher load-bearing object is usually heavy and not easy to carry. Third, if the cigarette packs placed vertically in the cigarette tray are stacked too high, it is easy for the stacked cigarette packs to collapse, fall to the ground and break the cigarette packs.

[0005] Prior art CN 201320263806.0 discloses a cigarette pack replenishing rack for a cigarette packaging machine, which is directly fixed to the packaging machine using bolts. However, such a rack will interfere with the door of the protective cover of the outlet flipping device of the packaging machine. When the outlet flipping device is blocked, the operator cannot open the door of the protective cover of the outlet flipping device to remove the blocked cigarette pack.

[0006] Therefore, providing a better cigarette tray placement rack is a technical problem to be solved urgently in the field. Utility Model Content

[0011] Further, the second limiting structure includes a limiting bolt, the limiting bolt is arranged on the cigarette tray rack, and the limiting bolt can abut against the fixed part.

[0012] Further, when the placement surface places a cigarette tray, the included angle between the placement surface and the horizontal plane is 20° - 30°.

[0013] Further, the bracket includes a bent part that makes the included angle between the placement surface and the horizontal plane when placing a cigarette tray.

[0014] Further, the cigarette tray rack is L-shaped and further includes a support surface for restricting the sliding of the cigarette tray; the support surface is perpendicular to the placement surface and is arranged on one side of the placement surface away from the connection between the cigarette tray rack and the bracket.

[0015] Further, a limiting edge is arranged on the cigarette tray rack, and the height of the limiting edge is 5mm - 50mm.

[0016] The second technical solution provided by the present application is a packaging machine, which includes a cigarette packet conveying channel, and the above-mentioned cigarette tray folding placement rack is arranged in the cigarette packet conveying channel.

[0017] Further, it includes a cigarette packet flipping device protective cover with a door, and during the opening process of the door, it interferes with the cigarette tray folding placement rack where cigarette trays can be placed.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0019] 1. The present application provides a folding placement rack for cigarette trays, which is used to be arranged in a cigarette packet conveying channel to place cigarette trays.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. 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 making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , some embodiments of the present application provide a cigarette tray folding placement rack for placing a cigarette tray in a cigarette packet conveying channel, including: a bracket 1; a cigarette tray rack 2 connected to the bracket 1, the cigarette tray rack 2 including a placement surface 21 for placing a cigarette tray, and the cigarette tray rack 2 can be rotated towards the direction close to the cigarette packet conveying channel 200 until the included angle between the placement surface and the horizontal plane is equal to a preset angle.

[0031] The cigarette tray folding placement rack of the present application is connected to the cigarette packet conveying channel 200 through the bracket 1, which is relatively stable and can prevent the cigarette tray from slipping due to the vibration caused by the operation of the packaging machine or manual operation. The present application also rotates the cigarette tray rack 2, so that the cigarette tray rack 2 can be rotated to a folded state where the included angle between the placement surface 21 and the horizontal plane is equal to the preset angle, so that the cigarette tray rack 2 does not interfere with other components or hinder the operation of the operator, and the cigarette tray rack 2 can also be rotated to a state where the placement surface 21 can place cigarette packets, presenting an unfolded state.

[0032] The size of the preset angle is not limited. When the included angle between the placement surface 21 and the horizontal plane is equal to the preset angle, the cigarette tray folding placement rack is in a folded state, and the preset angle can enable the cigarette tray rack 2 to avoid other equipment components or personnel activities. The closer the placement surface 21 is to the conveying channel in the horizontal direction, the better the folding effect. When folding, the cigarette tray rack 2 can also act as a protective cover for the conveying channel. However, in some implementation manners, there is an included angle between the placement surface 21 and the horizontal plane when placing the cigarette tray, so other preset angles that are sufficient to fully fold the cigarette tray rack 2 and are easy to implement will also be comprehensively selected according to actual needs such as design difficulty and limiting effect during storage and folding. Preferably, the preset angle is 0°, that is, when in the folded state, the placement surface 21 is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0033] The way to limit the rotation angle of the cigarette tray holder 2 relative to the bracket 1 is not limited. For example, a damping hinge can be used. Considering that the application scenario is a production environment with vibration, in order to make the limit stable and easy to implement, in some embodiments, the cigarette tray folding placement rack includes a first limit structure and a second limit structure for limiting the rotation angle of the cigarette tray holder 2 relative to the bracket 1. The first limit structure is used to limit the rotation of the cigarette tray holder 2 relative to the bracket 1 to the position where the placement surface 21 can place cigarette trays, and the second limit structure is used to limit the rotation to make the angle between the placement surface 21 and the horizontal plane equal to a preset angle.

[0034] As a specific way to limit the rotation angle of the cigarette tray holder 2 relative to the bracket 1, in some embodiments, the cigarette tray holder 2 is connected to the bracket 1 through a hinge 3. The hinge 3 includes a fixed part 31 and a movable part 32. The fixed part 31 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1, the movable part 32 is connected to the cigarette tray holder 2, and the fixed part 31 and the movable part 32 are rotatably connected. The first limit structure includes a first limit surface 13 provided on the bracket 1, and the bracket 1 can abut against the movable part 32 on the first limit surface 13. Setting the first limit surface 13 on the bracket 1 can make full use of the existing fixing structure and is relatively stable.

[0035] In some embodiments, the second limit structure includes a limit bolt 24 provided on the bracket 1, and the limit bolt 24 can abut against the fixed part 31.

[0036] Considering that the cigarette packs stacked vertically in the cigarette tray are too high, which is likely to cause the stacked cigarette packs to collapse and fall to the ground, damaging the cigarette packs, in some embodiments, when the placement surface 21 places a cigarette tray, the angle between the placement surface 21 and the horizontal plane is 20° - 30°.

[0037] In order to make the placement surface 21 have an angle with the horizontal plane when placing a cigarette tray, in some embodiments, the bracket 1 includes a bent part 12 that makes the placement surface 21 have an angle with the horizontal plane when placing a cigarette tray.

[0038] Considering that the inclined cigarette tray is likely to slide and the need to stack multiple cigarette trays, in some embodiments, the cigarette tray holder 2 is L-shaped and further includes a support surface 22 for restricting the sliding of the cigarette tray. The support surface 22 is perpendicular to the placement surface 21 and is provided on the side of the placement surface 21 away from the connection with the bracket 1.

[0039] In some embodiments, the cigarette tray holder 2 is provided with a limit edge 23, and the height of the limit edge 23 is 5 mm - 50 mm. Setting the limit edge 23 can prevent the cigarette tray from falling due to vibration or collision.

[0040] The present application also provides an embodiment of a packaging machine, which includes a cigarette packet conveying channel 200, and the cigarette packet conveying channel 200 is provided with the cigarette tray folding placement rack described above.

[0041] In some embodiments, the packaging machine includes a cigarette packet turning device protective cover 300 provided with a door 301. The specific structures of the cigarette packet turning device protective cover 300 and the door 301 are prior art, such as the cigarette packet turning device protective cover 300 and the door 301 in the existing YB45 hard box packaging machine. If directly installed and fixed on the placement rack of the packaging machine, the placement rack often interferes with the door 301 of the outlet turning device protective cover of the packaging machine. When the outlet turning device is blocked, the operator cannot open the door 301 of the outlet turning device protective cover to take out the blocked cigarette packet. On the packaging machine including the cigarette packet turning device protective cover 300 provided with the door 301, setting the above-mentioned cigarette tray folding placement rack can enable the door 301 of the cigarette packet turning device protective cover 300 to be smoothly opened and closed without affecting the normal operation of the operator.

[0042] The following combines Figures 1-2 Enumerate a specific embodiment of the present application, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of a cigarette tray folding placement rack includes: a bracket 1 and a cigarette tray rack 2. The cigarette tray rack 2 is connected to the bracket 1 through a hinge 3, and the cigarette tray rack 2 can rotate in a direction close to or away from the cigarette packet conveying channel 200.

[0043] The bracket 1 includes a connecting portion 11 and a bending portion 12, and the included angle between the bending portion 12 and the fixing portion 31 is 150°.

[0044] The cigarette tray rack 2 is L-shaped, includes a placement surface 21 and a support surface 22, and is provided with a limiting edge 23 with a height of 20 mm.

[0045] The hinge 3 includes a fixing portion 31 and a movable portion 32. The fixing portion 31 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1, the movable portion 32 is connected to the cigarette tray rack 2, and the fixing portion 31 and the movable portion 32 are rotationally connected through a pin shaft.

[0046] The first limiting surface 13 is provided on the bracket 1. When this embodiment is unfolded, when the cigarette tray rack 2 rotates in a direction away from the cigarette packet conveying channel 200 until the included angle between the placement surface 21 and the horizontal plane is 30°, the first limiting surface 13 abuts against the movable portion 32 for limiting, and the placement surface 21 can place a cigarette tray.

[0047] The cigarette tray rack 2 is provided with a limiting bolt 24. When this embodiment is folded, when the cigarette tray rack 2 rotates in a direction close to the cigarette packet conveying channel 200 until the placement surface 21 is parallel to the horizontal plane, the limiting bolt 24 can abut against the fixing portion 31 to prevent the hinge 3 from continuing to rotate, thereby realizing limiting.

[0048] The first limiting surface 13 is the first limiting structure of this embodiment, and the limiting bolt 24 is the second limiting structure.

[0049] As Figures 3-4 shown, another specific embodiment of the present application further provides a packaging machine, which includes a cigarette packet conveying channel 200 and a cigarette packet turnover device protective cover 300 provided with a door 301. The above-mentioned cigarette tray folding and placing rack embodiment is provided on the cigarette packet conveying channel 200.

[0050] In the cigarette tray folding and placing rack embodiment, the connecting portion 11 of the bracket 1 is connected to the cigarette packet conveying channel 200 by bolts.

[0051] As Figure 3 , when the cigarette tray folding and placing rack is in the unfolded state, the movable portion 32 is limited by the first limiting surface 13, and the placing surface 21 can place the cigarette tray, but the door 301 of the cigarette packet turnover device protective cover 300 cannot be opened. When it is necessary to add the remaining cigarette packets to the device, unfold the cigarette tray folding and placing rack and place the cigarette tray in the cigarette tray rack 2.

[0052] As Figure 4 , during normal production, the cigarette tray rack 2 is in the folded state, and the limiting bolt 24 abuts against the fixing portion 31. At this time, the door 301 of the outlet turnover protective cover can be normally opened without interfering with the device. When it is necessary to open the door 301 of the cigarette packet turnover device protective cover 300, take out the cigarette tray in the cigarette tray rack 2 and rotate the cigarette tray rack 2 towards the direction close to the cigarette packet conveying channel 200 until it cannot be rotated.
