DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0027] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model and the prior art, the specific embodiments of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative efforts, and other embodiments can be obtained. Additionally, the terms related to directions only represent the relative positional relationships between components, not absolute positional relationships.
[0028] An embodiment of the utility model provides a vertical bag turning device. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , which mainly includes a first conveyor line, a second conveyor line and a turning assembly.
[0029] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , the vertical bag turning device includes a first conveyor line 1, a second conveyor line 2 and a turning assembly 3. The turning assembly 3 is arranged between the first conveyor line 1 and the second conveyor line 2. The horizontally placed cigarette packs are located on the first conveyor line 1. The first conveyor line 1 transports the horizontally placed cigarette packs to the turning assembly 3. The turning assembly 3 turns a single cigarette pack by 90°. The horizontally placed cigarette pack is turned into a vertically placed cigarette pack. After the vertically placed cigarette packs are stacked, they enter the second conveyor line 2. The second conveyor line 2 pushes the vertically placed cigarette packs to a carton packaging device for the carton packaging process of the cigarette packs. The turning assembly 3 first turns a single cigarette pack and then stacks the cigarette packs, reducing the load of the driving motor 33 and improving the turning and stacking efficiency of the cigarette packs.
[0030] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the cigarette packs entering the turning assembly 3 are all horizontally placed, a sorting block 4 is provided at the end of the first conveyor line 1. The sorting block 4 is welded to the side frame of the first conveyor line 1. When the cigarette packs on the first conveyor line 1 pass through the sorting block 4, if the cigarette packs on the first conveyor line 1 are horizontally placed, the cigarette packs on the first conveyor line 1 can pass through smoothly; if the cigarette packs on the first conveyor line 1 are vertically placed, the cigarette packs on the first conveyor line 1 will contact the sorting block 4. Under the combined action of the driving force of the first conveyor line 1 and the supporting force of the sorting block 4, the cigarette packs on the first conveyor line 1 are adjusted to be horizontally placed.
[0031] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5, in the embodiments of the present application, the flipping assembly 3 includes a flipping plate 31, a grid plate 32, and a driving motor 33. A flipping space 34 is provided on the grid plate 32. The flipping plate 31 is arranged below the grid plate 32, and the driving motor 33 can drive the flipping plate 31 to rotate. The horizontally placed cigarette packs are transported by the first conveyor line 1 to above the grid plate 32. During the rotation of the flipping plate 31, it will pass through the flipping space 34. After the flipping plate 31 passes through the flipping space 34, it abuts against the surface of the horizontally placed cigarette packs on the grid plate 32. Then the flipping plate 31 rotates to push the horizontally placed cigarette packs, turning the horizontally placed cigarette packs into vertically placed cigarette packs. The flipping plate 31 continues to rotate, and there will be a contact point between the flipping plate 31 and the vertically placed cigarette packs. The flipping plate 31 pushes the vertically placed cigarette packs and transports the vertically placed cigarette packs to the second conveyor line 2.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, refer to Figure 4 , there are four flipping plates 31. The four flipping plates 31 are integrally connected, and the four flipping plates 31 form a cross-shaped structure. The cross-shaped structure ensures that during the flipping process of the cigarette packs, there are always two flipping plates 31 that can be engaged with the cigarette packs, and the two flipping plates 31 can support the cigarette packs during the flipping process of the cigarette packs, ensuring that the horizontally placed cigarette packs can be stably turned into vertically placed cigarette packs.
[0033] In order to avoid damaging the integrity of the cigarette packs during the rotation of the flipping plate 31, most preferably, the end of the flipping plate 31 is arc-shaped.
[0034] Refer to Figure 1 , in the embodiments of the present application, limiting plates are arranged on both sides of the grid plate 32. The limiting plates are fixedly connected to the side surface of the grid plate 32 by welding. The limiting plates extend towards the second conveyor line 2 and extend to the second conveyor line 2. During the entire process of the flipping plate 31 flipping the cigarette packs and transporting the vertically placed cigarette packs to the second conveyor line 2, the limiting plates limit the position of the cigarette packs, preventing the cigarette packs from deflecting during the entire process.
[0035] It should be noted that a pressure sensor is provided on the grid plate 32. When the cigarette packs are transported above the grid plate 32, the pressure sensor converts the detected pressure signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control system. After receiving the electrical signal transmitted by the pressure sensor, the control system controls the driving motor 33 to start for cigarette pack flipping.
[0036] Refer to Figure 6, the second conveying line 2 includes a push rod 21 and a transport chute 22. The push rod 21 can be connected to a guide rod cylinder, and the guide rod cylinder drives the push rod 21 to reciprocate. A temporary storage area 23 is provided on the transport chute 22. When the turning plate 31 turns over the horizontally placed cigarette packets and then pushes the vertically placed cigarette packets, the vertically placed cigarette packets will be pushed to the starting position of the second conveying line 2. The subsequent cigarette packets will abut against the current cigarette packets, thus achieving the stacking of cigarette packets. The push rod 21 will push the stacked cigarette packets in the temporary storage area 23 to the strip carton packaging device for the strip carton packaging process of the cigarette packets.
[0037] Preferably, in the embodiment of the present application, the second conveying line 2 further includes a pressing plate 24. The pressing plate 24 is arranged above the transport chute 22, and an installation through hole is provided on the pressing plate 24. An installation threaded hole is provided on the frame of the packet turning device. One end of a fixing screw passes through the installation through hole and is screwed with the installation threaded hole, and the other end of the fixing screw abuts against the pressing plate 24 to realize the detachable connection between the pressing plate 24 and the frame of the packet turning device. When the vertically placed cigarette packets are located on the second conveying line 2, the pressing plate 24 abuts against the vertically placed cigarette packets to ensure the stable posture of the vertically placed cigarette packets during the stacking of cigarette packets and the process of the cigarette packets on the second conveying line 2.
[0038] As a more preferred implementation manner of the present application, the installation through hole is set as a strip hole. The position of the pressing plate 24 can be adjusted by loosening the fixing screw, and then the fixing screw is tightened continuously to fix the position of the adjusted pressing plate 24. By setting the installation through hole as a strip hole and adjusting the position of the pressing plate 24, it is ensured that the pressing plate 24 can abut against the vertically placed cigarette packets, improving the stability of the vertically placed cigarette packets on the second conveying line 2.
[0039] Refer to Figure 1 , in the embodiment of the present application, the first conveying line 1 is belt transportation. The first conveying line 1 can adopt a U-shaped belt or limit edges integrally connected to both ends of the first conveying line 1 to limit the horizontally placed cigarette packets.
