[0039] To ensure the continuity and production efficiency of the cigarette production process, the present embodiment provides a cigarette packet buffering device, which will be described in detail below in combination with Figures 1 to 5 the specific content of this embodiment.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the cigarette packet buffering device in this embodiment includes a support frame 1, a buffering container 2, and a cigarette packet passage 3. The buffering container 2 includes a buffering cylinder 21 and a partition member 22. The buffering cylinder 21 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 1, and the partition member 22 is rotatably arranged in the buffering cylinder 21. At least two partition plates 221 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer wall surface of the partition member 22. The inner cavity of the buffering cylinder 21 is divided into storage areas 25 by adjacent two partition plates 221 for separating and storing cigarette packets 100. The cigarette packet passage 3 is used to convey the cigarette packets 100 along the conveying direction. The cigarette packet passage 3 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 1. The cigarette packet passage 3 includes a buffering section 31, and the buffering section 31 penetrates through the inner cavity of the buffering cylinder 21. Optionally, the number of partition plates 221 in the buffering cylinder 21 and the distance between each two partition plates 221 can be set according to the size of the cigarette packets 100 to optimize the storage efficiency and space utilization rate.

[0041] In short, for the cigarette packet buffering device provided in this embodiment, the buffer cylinder 21 of the buffer container 2 and the cigarette packet channel 3 are fixedly arranged on the support frame 1. The cigarette packet channel 3 is arranged between the upstream machine and the downstream machine and is used for conveying the cigarette packets 100 along the conveying direction. The inner cavity of the buffer cylinder 21 is divided into a plurality of storage areas 25 by the partition plate 221 of the partition member. When the downstream machine breaks down and stops, and the cigarette packet channel 3 between the upstream machine and the downstream machine is filled with the cigarette packets 100, the cigarette packets 100 on the buffer section 31 of the cigarette packet channel 3 are pushed into the storage area 25 by rotating the partition member 22, avoiding the accumulation of the cigarette packets 100, contributing to the continuous production of the upstream machine, and ensuring the continuity and production efficiency of the production process of the upstream machine.

[0042] Further, as Figure 2 Combined with Figure 3 As shown, the buffer cylinder 21 includes a first cover plate 211, a second cover plate 212 and a cylinder body 213. The first cover plate 211 and the second cover plate 212 are respectively covered on opposite ends of the cylinder body 213. The first cover plate 211 is provided with a first opening 2111, and the second cover plate 212 is provided with a second opening 2121. The buffer section 31 passes through the first opening 2111, one of the storage areas 25 and the second opening 2121. The first cover plate 211 and the second cover plate 212 can be installed at both ends of the cylinder body 213 by welding or bolt connection. The central axis of the partition member 22 is rotatably connected to the central holes of the first cover plate 211 and the second cover plate 212 by bearings. By adding the first opening 2111 and the second opening 2121, it is convenient for the cigarette packets 100 to enter and exit the cylinder body 213. Optionally, cleaning devices are also arranged at the positions of the first opening 2111 and the second opening 2121 and inside the cylinder body 213 for regularly or as needed cleaning the cylinder body 213 and the partition plate 221 to prevent the residues of the cigarette packets 100 from affecting the buffering effect or contaminating the subsequent cigarette packets 100.

[0043] Further, the cigarette packet buffering device further includes a driving mechanism 4, and the driving mechanism 4 is in transmission connection with the partition member 22. By adding the driving mechanism 4, the partition member 22 can be driven to rotate.

[0044] Further, the driving mechanism 4 includes a motor 41 and a transmission belt 42. A first pulley is coaxially arranged on the motor 41, and a second pulley 23 is coaxially arranged at the end of the partition member 22. The transmission belt 42 is wound around the first pulley and the second pulley 23. By adopting the belt transmission method, the motor 41 transmits power through the transmission belt 42 to rotate the partition member 22. The motor 41 can rotate forward or backward. By adjusting the rotation direction of the partition member 22, the automatic buffering and release of the cigarette packets 100 are realized.

[0045] Optionally, the drive belt 42 is a timing belt. Driving teeth are circumferentially provided on the outer walls of the first pulley and the second pulley 23, and the drive belt 42 meshes with the driving teeth. Since the drive belt 42 is a timing belt, it helps to improve the accuracy of the motor 41 driving the separator 22 to rotate, avoid slipping of the drive belt 42, ensure the synchronism and stability of the rotation of the separator 22, and improve the operating efficiency of the cigarette packet buffer device.

[0046] Exemplarily, a mounting seat 24 is provided on the first cover plate 211 or the second cover plate 212, and the motor 41 is fixedly arranged on the mounting seat 24. By adding the mounting seat 24, it is convenient to mount the motor 41 on the first cover plate 211 or the second cover plate 212, which helps to shorten the length of the drive belt 42. In other embodiments, the motor 41 can also be fixedly mounted on the support frame 1.

[0047] Furthermore, the support frame 1 includes a first vertical frame 11 and a second vertical frame 12. The first cover plate 211 is fixedly arranged on the first vertical frame 11, and the second cover plate 212 is fixedly arranged on the second vertical frame 12. By adding the first vertical frame 11 and the second vertical frame 12, it is convenient to raise the height of the buffer container 2 from the ground.

[0048] Optionally, the side wall of the cylindrical body 213 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material that is heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant, which is convenient for the operator to directly observe the storage condition of the internal cigarette packets 100 and promptly discover and handle abnormal situations. The buffer cylinder is made of a heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant material, has high durability and corrosion resistance, and can operate stably for a long time in a harsh production environment.

[0049] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown in combination with Figure 5 Figure, the cigarette packet passage 3 further includes an inlet section 32 and an outlet section 33. The inlet section 32 and the outlet section 33 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the buffer section 31. The inlet section 32 and the outlet section 33 are respectively connected to the upstream and downstream of the cigarette production equipment. The cigarette packets 100 on the cigarette packet passage 3 can be stored in the buffer container 2, ensuring the connectivity and production efficiency of the production process of the cigarette production equipment.

[0050] Furthermore, detectors 5 are provided on both the inlet section 32 and the outlet section 33. The detectors 5 are used to detect the filling state of the cigarette packets 100. Assembly holes 34 are provided on the side walls of the inlet section 32 and the outlet section 33 for mounting the detectors 5. The detectors 5 can be photoelectric sensors.

[0051] Furthermore, the cigarette pack buffer device further includes a control system. The motor 41 and the detector 5 are both electrically connected to the control system. The control system is used to receive the signal of the detector 5 to control the start, stop and rotation direction of the motor 41, and adjust the rotation speed of the partition 22 in the buffer cylinder 21 in real time according to the production requirements through the control system, so as to realize the automatic control of the partition 22 and optimize the buffering efficiency. The control system also includes an alarm device, which is used to send a warning signal when the cigarette pack 100 is close to filling the cigarette pack channel 3, reminding the operator to take measures in time.

[0052] The working principle of the cigarette pack buffer device in this embodiment is as follows: During the production process of the cigarette pack 100, the cigarette pack 100 is continuously transmitted from the loading side to the unloading side through the cigarette pack channel 3. When the unloading side fails and stops, the detector 5 is used to detect the filling state of the cigarette pack 100. When the detector 5 detects that the cigarette pack 100 is close to filling the cigarette pack channel 3, the alarm device sends a warning signal to the control system. After receiving the warning signal, the control system starts the motor 41 and drives the partition 22 in the buffer cylinder 21 to rotate through the transmission belt 42. At this time, the cigarette packs 100 in the cigarette pack channel 3 are guided to the storage area 25 inside the buffer cylinder 21 to achieve buffering.

[0053] When the unloading side resumes normal operation or the internal storage area 25 of the buffer cylinder 21 is close to full load, the control system adjusts the rotation direction of the motor 41 to make the partition 22 in the buffer cylinder 21 rotate in the reverse direction, and releases the cigarette packs 100 in the storage area 25 to the cigarette pack channel 3 in sequence, and continues to transmit them to the unloading side.

[0054] Note that the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and the applied technical principle. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described here. Various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, although the present utility model has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Without departing from the concept of the present utility model, more other equivalent embodiments can be included, and the scope of the present utility model is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
