Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette sorting, in particular to a replenishment truck for cigarette sorting and a cigarette sorting system. Background Art
[0002] The statements herein only provide the background art related to the utility model, and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.
[0003] For the current replenishment truck for cigarette sorting, first, it receives the cigarette stack sent by the lifting device, then the cigarette stack is sorted by the cigarette sorting plate, then the cigarettes in the corresponding column are pushed to the corresponding position of the cigarette outlet by the cigarette pushing plate, and then the cigarettes are sent out by the cigarette dialing mechanism. Currently, after the cigarette sorting plate and the cigarette pushing plate work to sort the cigarette stack, the staggered layer of cigarettes cannot be realized, resulting in the phenomenon of cigarette jamming when the cigarette dialing mechanism sends out the cigarettes, which affects the sending of cigarettes. Moreover, along the vertical direction, the friction force between adjacent layers of cigarettes gradually decreases from the bottom layer upwards. When dialing cigarettes, the cigarette dialing plate of the cigarette dialing mechanism contacts the end faces of all layers of cigarettes, and the problem of stack dispersion caused by the forward tilt of the top layer of cigarettes often occurs when dialing cigarettes.

Detailed implementation mode
[0042] Embodiment 1
[0043] This embodiment provides a replenishment truck for strip cigarette sorting, as Figure 1 shown, which includes a walking mechanism for walking along a guide rail. A cigarette stack transfer mechanism is installed on the walking mechanism. The cigarette stack transfer mechanism includes a support frame, a conveying mechanism, a cigarette arranging plate, a cigarette pushing plate, a moving drive mechanism, a fixed baffle, a cigarette deflecting mechanism, etc. The support frame is fixed to the walking mechanism. A conveying mechanism is installed at the bottom of the support frame for conveying strip cigarettes. One end of the conveying mechanism is used to receive strip cigarettes as the feeding end, and the other end is used as the discharging end. A cigarette arranging plate is arranged on one side of the discharging end of the conveying mechanism. The cigarette arranging plate is fixedly connected to the support frame. Along the conveying direction perpendicular to the conveying mechanism, a cigarette pushing plate is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism, and a fixed baffle is arranged on the other side. The width of the cigarette arranging plate is smaller than the width of the conveying mechanism. An outlet for strip cigarettes is formed on the side of the cigarette arranging plate close to the fixed baffle for sending out strip cigarettes. The cigarette pushing plate is connected to a moving drive mechanism installed on the top of the support frame. The output movement direction of the moving drive mechanism is perpendicular to the strip cigarette conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, so that the cigarette pushing plate can move towards or away from the fixed baffle. When the cigarette pushing plate pushes the corresponding strip cigarette to a position corresponding to the cigarette outlet, the strip cigarette can be sent out. A cigarette deflecting mechanism installed on the support frame is arranged outside the fixed baffle. The cigarette deflecting mechanism includes a cigarette deflecting drive assembly. The cigarette deflecting drive assembly is connected to the cigarette deflecting plate through a connecting piece. The connecting piece passes through the fixed baffle through a long slot provided on the fixed baffle. The cigarette deflecting plate is located inside the fixed baffle and is used to send the strip cigarette out of the cigarette outlet.
[0044] As Figures 2 - 3As shown, the traveling mechanism includes a traveling mechanism body 1. In this embodiment, the traveling mechanism body 1 adopts a frame structure and is welded by a plurality of steel beams. A traveling driving element 2 is arranged at the middle position of the frame structure. The traveling driving element 2 adopts a driving motor, and the output shaft of the driving motor is connected to a belt pulley 3. The belt pulley 3 meshes with a synchronous belt laid on the traveling guide rail. The driving motor can drive the belt pulley 3 to rotate, so as to drive the entire traveling mechanism body to move along the traveling guide rail under the meshing action of the belt pulley 3 and the synchronous belt.
[0045] Furthermore, in order to improve the movement stability of the traveling mechanism, auxiliary wheels 4 are arranged at the four corners of the traveling mechanism body. The auxiliary wheels 4 are matched with the top surface of the guiding guide rail 28. At least one set of guiding wheel sets is arranged on one side of the front end and the rear end of the traveling mechanism body 1 through guiding wheel mounting plates 5. In this embodiment, two sets of guiding wheel sets are arranged on one side of the front end and the rear end of the traveling mechanism body respectively. The two sets of guiding wheel sets are distributed along the traveling direction. The guiding wheel sets of the same group include two guiding wheels 6, and the two guiding wheels 6 are respectively matched with the two side surfaces of the guiding guide rail to guide the movement of the traveling mechanism body 1. It can be understood that the number of guiding wheel sets can be set according to actual needs. For example, three sets or more sets are set. Guiding wheel sets are arranged on both sides of the front end and the rear end of the traveling mechanism body. Those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs.
[0046] In some other embodiments, the traveling mechanism body adopts an existing electric vehicle, including a vehicle body. A driving motor is arranged inside the vehicle body. The driving motor is connected to a wheel axle through a transmission mechanism such as a belt drive or a chain drive. The wheel axle is connected to a wheel, and the wheel is matched with the guide rail.
[0047] As Figures 4 - 5 shown, the support frame 7 adopts a frame structure and is welded and fixed by a plurality of horizontal beams and vertical beams. Its bottom end is fixed on the traveling mechanism body 1 and moves with the traveling mechanism body 1.
[0048] A conveying mechanism 8 is fixed at the bottom of the support frame 7. The conveying mechanism 8 adopts a belt conveying mechanism, including a driving roller and a driven roller installed at the bottom of the support frame 7. A transmission belt is wound between the driving roller and the driven roller. The driving roller adopts an existing electric roller, and the driven roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame. The electric roller rotates around its own axis and can drive the transmission belt to move, so as to convey the cigarette cartons.
[0049] One side of the conveying mechanism 8 is used as the feeding end, and the other side is used as the discharging end. A cigarette arranging plate 9 is arranged on one side of the discharging end. The cigarette arranging plate 9 is used to contact the end face of the cigarette cartons, so as to arrange the cigarette cartons in a stack.
[0050] In order to achieve the front and rear staggered layers of adjacent columns of cigarette stacks, on the surface of the cigarette arranging plate for contacting the end face of cigarettes, a plurality of first convex structures 10 are provided along the direction from the cigarette pushing plate to the cigarette deflecting mechanism. During use, each first convex structure 10 corresponds to a column of cigarettes. Along the direction from the cigarette pushing plate to the cigarette deflecting mechanism, the thicknesses of the plurality of first convex mechanisms decrease in sequence. Further, the widths of the plurality of first convex structures 10 decrease in sequence.
[0051] Further, the first convex structure 10 is made of a U-shaped plate. Flanges are provided on two side portions of the U-shaped plate, and the first convex structure 10 is fixedly connected to the cigarette arranging plate 9 through the flanges. It can be understood that the first convex structure 10 can also adopt a convex block structure, etc., and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs.
[0052] When the conveying mechanism 8 drives the end of the cigarette stack to cooperate with the cigarette arranging plate 9, the end of the cigarette contacts the corresponding first convex structure 10. Since the thicknesses of the first convex structures 10 decrease in sequence, the front and rear staggered layers of adjacent two columns of cigarettes are realized.
[0053] A cigarette pushing plate 11 is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism 8, and a fixed baffle 12 is provided on the other side. The cigarette pushing plate 11 is connected to a moving driving mechanism 13 installed on the top of the support frame 7. The moving driving mechanism 13 can drive the cigarette pushing plate 11 to move in a direction perpendicular to the cigarette conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, so as to drive the cigarette pushing plate 11 to move towards or away from the fixed baffle 12.
[0054] The fixed baffle 12 is fixedly connected to the support frame 7.
[0055] In this embodiment, the moving driving mechanism 13 adopts a belt transmission mechanism. The belt transmission mechanism includes a support seat, the support seat is fixed at the top end of the support frame 7, a moving driving member is provided at one end of the support seat, the moving driving member adopts a device capable of outputting rotation such as a motor or a hydraulic motor, preferably, the moving driving member adopts a motor, the motor is connected to a driving wheel, a driven wheel is rotatably connected to the other end of the support seat, a transmission belt is wound between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the transmission belt is fixedly connected to the cigarette pushing plate 11 through a connecting plate, and can drive the cigarette pushing plate 11 to move.
[0056] In some other embodiments, the moving driving mechanism 13 can also adopt a lead screw transmission mechanism.
[0057] Further, in order to guide the movement of the cigarette pushing plate 11, the cigarette pushing plate 11 is connected to a linear module fixed on the support frame 7. The linear module includes a slider and a guide shaft. Sliders are provided at both ends of the top of the cigarette pushing plate 11, the sliders are slidably connected to the guide shaft, and both ends of the guide shaft are fixedly connected to the support frame 7.
[0058] After the cigarette stack is transferred to the transfer mechanism, the moving drive mechanism 13 can drive the cigarette pushing plate 11 to move. By pushing the cigarette stack with the cigarette pushing plate 11, a row of cigarettes to be sent out is pushed to the position corresponding to the cigarette outlet 14. At the same time, this row of cigarettes contacts the fixed baffle 12, and the fixed baffle 12 plays a guiding role for the cigarettes 15 to prevent the movement direction of the cigarettes 15 from tilting when the cigarettes are separated.
[0059] Further, as Figures 9 - 10 shown, a camera 29 installed on the top of the replenishment vehicle is provided above the transfer mechanism. The camera 29 is fixedly connected to the support frame 7 through a camera support. The camera 29 is used for taking pictures or video recording, and transmits the taken picture or video to the control system. The control system binds the received picture or video with the current task number and cigarette product information.
[0060] Further, at least one photoelectric detection element 30 is provided above the transfer mechanism 8 corresponding to the cigarette outlet 14. The number of photoelectric detection elements is the same as the number of rows of cigarette stacks on the transfer mechanism 8. In this embodiment, the cigarette stack on the transfer mechanism 8 has two rows of cigarettes, so two photoelectric detection elements 30 are provided, and each row corresponds to one photoelectric detection element 30. The photoelectric detection element 30 adopts a photoelectric sensor, which is fixed on the top of the support frame 7 through a sensor support. The photoelectric detection element can detect the height of the cigarettes below it, and compare the measured value with the height of the cigarettes of this product track in the background to judge whether there is a shortage of cigarettes. If there is no shortage of cigarettes, the replenishment vehicle performs subsequent process actions. If there is a shortage of cigarettes, the control system sends an alarm signal to the alarm mechanism. At this time, the replenishment vehicle alarms and waits for manual handling. After the daily sorting task is completed, the pictures or videos are queried from the background for re-verification.
[0061] In another implementation manner, as Figure 11 shown, at least one photoelectric sensor is arranged above the feeding side of the transfer mechanism 8. The photoelectric sensor is fixed on the top of the support frame 7 through a sensor support. The number of photoelectric sensors is the same as the number of columns of cigarette stacks, and it can detect whether there is a shortage of cigarettes at one time.
[0062] Compared with the traditional methods of using 3D cameras, X-rays, pulse detection, etc. to detect whether there are missing cigarettes in a piece of cigarettes, using photoelectric sensors for detection has low cost, simple structure, and no harm to the staff.
[0063] In this embodiment, in order to make the adjacent two rows of cigarettes 15 have a staggered layer, at least one second convex structure 16 is provided on the surface of the cigarette pushing plate 11 for pushing the cigarettes 15. In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 8 is used to receive two rows of cigarettes, so one second convex structure 16 is provided. The second convex mechanism 16 is arranged near the feeding end of the transfer mechanism 8 and is used to cooperate with the cigarettes in the rear row. When the cigarette pushing plate 11 contacts the cigarette stack, the staggered layer of the front and rear two rows of cigarettes can be realized.
[0064] Further, a third convex structure 17 is also provided on the fixed baffle 12. The third convex structure 17 is arranged close to the cigarette arranging plate 9 and corresponds to a row of cigarette packs 15 in front. The third convex structure 17 cooperates with the second convex structure 16 to achieve the staggered arrangement of adjacent rows of cigarette packs.
[0065] It can be understood that multiple second convex structures 16 can also be provided. Each second convex structure 16 corresponds to a row of cigarette packs. The multiple second convex structures 16 are distributed along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 8. And along the direction from the discharge end to the feed end of the conveying mechanism 8, the thickness of the second convex structure 16 increases in sequence. Correspondingly, multiple third convex structures 17 are provided. Along the direction from the discharge end to the feed end of the conveying mechanism, the thickness of the third convex structure 17 decreases in sequence.
[0066] Further, in this embodiment, the second convex structure 16 is a convex block. In some other embodiments, the second convex structure 16 can also be a U-shaped plate or other structures, which can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.
[0067] The third convex structure 17 is also a convex block, and the convex plate is fixedly connected to the fixed baffle 12.
[0068] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, through the cooperation of the cigarette arranging plate 9 and the cigarette pushing plate 11, it is possible to achieve the front-back staggering of adjacent columns of cigarette packs in the cigarette stack, that is, staggering along the conveying direction of the cigarette packs, and the adjacent rows of cigarette packs are staggered perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cigarette packs, avoiding the phenomenon of cigarette jamming during cigarette pushing and ensuring the smooth progress of cigarette pushing.
[0069] A cigarette pushing mechanism is arranged outside the fixed baffle 12. The cigarette pushing mechanism is installed on the support frame 7 and is used to push a column of cigarette packs 15 corresponding to the cigarette outlet 14 and send out this column of cigarette packs 15 through the cigarette outlet 14.
[0070] The cigarette pushing mechanism includes a cigarette pushing drive assembly installed on the support frame 7. The moving part of the cigarette pushing drive assembly is connected to the connecting piece 18. The connecting piece 18 passes through the fixed baffle 12 through the long slot 19 provided on the fixed baffle and is connected to the cigarette pushing plate 20. The long axis of the long slot 19 is arranged along the moving direction of the cigarette pushing plate 20, and the moving direction of the cigarette pushing plate 20 penetrates through both ends of the fixed baffle 12, meeting the movement requirement of the cigarette pushing plate 20.
[0071] Preferably, the cigarette pushing drive assembly is connected to two cigarette pushing plates 20 through the connecting piece 18, and the two cigarette pushing plates 20 are respectively located on both sides of the cigarette pushing drive assembly.
[0072] The cigarette pushing plate is used to contact the cigarette cartons 15 and send out the cigarette cartons. The surface of the traditional cigarette pushing plate that cooperates with the cigarette cartons is a plane perpendicular to the conveying mechanism. When the cigarette pushing plate contacts the cigarette cartons, it contacts the end faces of multiple layers of cigarette cartons in the cigarette stack simultaneously. Since the frictional force between adjacent layers of cigarette cartons gradually decreases from the bottom layer upwards in the vertical direction, when pushing the cigarettes, the cigarette pushing plate of the cigarette pushing mechanism contacts the end faces of all layers of cigarette cartons, and the problem of the top layer of cigarettes tilting forward and causing the stack to collapse often occurs. Therefore, as Figure 7 shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the cigarette pushing plate 20 that cooperates with the cigarette cartons 15 is set to form a set acute angle with the vertical plane perpendicular to the conveying mechanism, and along the direction from bottom to top, the plane of the cigarette pushing plate 20 that contacts the cigarette cartons 15 is inclined towards the direction away from the cigarette arranging plate 9 so that the cigarette pushing plate 20 first contacts the bottom layer of cigarette cartons 15. Since the cigarette pushing plate 20 first contacts the bottom layer of cigarette bars, the problem of the top layer of cigarette bars 15 tilting forward and causing the stack to collapse is avoided.
[0073] The cigarette pushing drive assembly includes at least one closed-loop transmission mechanism. The closed-loop transmission mechanism is installed on the support frame, and the moving part of the closed-loop transmission mechanism is connected to the cigarette pushing plate through a connecting piece.
[0074] In this embodiment, a plurality of closed-loop transmission mechanisms are provided, and the plurality of closed-loop transmission mechanisms are distributed vertically. Preferably, two closed-loop transmission mechanisms are provided.
[0075] The closed-loop transmission mechanism adopts a chain transmission mechanism, including a driving sprocket 21, a driven sprocket 22, and a transmission chain 23 wound between the driving sprocket 21 and the driven sprocket 22. The transmission chain 23 is connected to the cigarette pushing plate 20 through a connecting piece 18. The two driving sprockets 21 are coaxially arranged up and down and are connected to the same driving shaft 24. The bottom end of the driving shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame 7 through a bearing seat. The two driven sprockets 22 are coaxially arranged up and down and are connected to the same driven shaft 25. The bottom end of the driven shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame 7 through a bearing seat.
[0076] The driving shaft 24 is connected to a power mechanism installed on the support frame, and the power mechanism can drive the main shaft to rotate. In this embodiment, the power mechanism includes a power element 26. The power element 26 adopts a device such as a motor that can output rotational motion. The motor is fixedly connected to the motor seat, and the motor seat is fixed on the support frame 7. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the driving shaft 24 through a transmission mechanism 27. The transmission mechanism 27 adopts a chain transmission mechanism or a belt transmission mechanism, which can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.
[0077] Both transmission chains are connected with connecting pieces 18. The connecting pieces 18 pass through the fixed baffle 12 through long slots 19 and are fixedly connected to the cigarette pushing plate 20.
[0078] As Figure 8As shown, the connecting member 18 adopts an L-shaped structure, including a vertical first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion passes through the long strip hole 19 and is fixed to the smoke deflecting plate 20, and the second connecting portion contacts at least two chain links in the transmission chain 23 and is fixedly connected to one of the chain links. In this way, when deflecting the smoke, multiple chain links are stressed, avoiding the situation where the connecting member presses the chain, resulting in the smoke deflecting plate being unable to align with the cigarette cartons, and further causing the phenomenon of scattered cigarette cartons and jammed cigarettes during smoke deflection.
[0079] The working method of the replenishment truck in this embodiment is as follows:
[0080] The conveying mechanism receives the cigarette carton stacks sent by the lifting device. The conveying mechanism 8 transports the cigarette carton stacks, enabling the cigarettes to contact the first convex structure 10 of the guiding plate 9, achieving the staggered layers of adjacent two columns of cigarettes 15. The moving driving mechanism 13 drives the cigarette pushing plate 11 to work until a column of cigarettes 15 corresponds to the smoke outlet 14, and the staggered layers of adjacent two rows of cigarettes 15 are achieved through the second convex structure 16 and the third convex structure 17. The traveling mechanism moves to the smoke outlet position, and the closed-loop transmission mechanism drives the smoke deflecting plate 20 to move. The smoke deflecting plate 20 pushes out a column of cigarettes corresponding to the smoke outlet 14 to the next sorting process.

The feeding side of the replenishment truck is provided with a bulk cigarette conveying mechanism 31, and the bulk cigarette conveying mechanism 31 adopts a hoist. The discharging side of the replenishment truck is provided with a horizontal sorting machine 32, and the horizontal sorting machine 32 has multiple buffer channels 33 to receive the cigarettes sent out by the replenishment truck. The remaining equipment of the cigarette sorting system such as the hoist and the horizontal sorting machine 32 can adopt the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0083] In the cigarette sorting system of this embodiment, the hoist transports the unpacked bulk cigarettes 34 into the replenishment truck. The camera on the top of the replenishment truck takes pictures or records videos and transmits the pictures or videos to the control system. The control system binds the pictures or videos with the current task number and cigarette product information. Subsequently, the cigarette pushing plate pushes the unpacked bulk cigarettes to the corresponding position of the smoke outlet 14. When the replenishment truck walks to the designated buffer channel in the horizontal sorting machine, an optoelectronic sensor is used to measure the height of the cigarettes below the optoelectronic sensor at this time, and the measured value is compared with the height of the cigarettes of this product specification in the background to determine whether there is a shortage of cigarettes. If there is no shortage of cigarettes, the replenishment truck proceeds with the subsequent process actions. If there is a shortage of cigarettes, the replenishment truck alarms at this time and waits for manual handling. Wait until the daily sorting task is completed, and query the pictures or videos from the background for re-verification.
[0084] Although the specific implementation manners of the present utility model have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or deformations that can be made without creative efforts on the basis of the technical solution of the present utility model are still within the protection scope of the present utility model.
