Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cigarette stacking equipment, and more specifically, to a robot finished product soft and hard pack cigarette box flexible switching device. Background Art

[0002] The push plate device is a purely mechanical device. Due to the different sizes of soft and hard pack cigarette boxes, the robot stacking method is different. Therefore, the length of the push rod connected to the push box board on different sorting lanes is different, and the length is fixed and cannot be adjusted. After the cigarette box enters the corresponding workstation, the push box board is pushed to the bottom and automatically retracted after the cigarette box position is fixed. The hard pack cigarette box is larger, and the corresponding workstation position on the sorting line is large. The push rod behind the push box board is short and the telescopic distance is short; the soft pack cigarette box is smaller, and the corresponding workstation position on the sorting line is small. The push rod behind the push box board is long and the telescopic distance is long. Different devices correspond to different brands of finished cigarettes. Switching between them requires reinstalling the entire push plate device.

[0003] 1. Due to the unbalanced production plan of soft and hard packages, the different stacking methods of soft and hard packages, the box pusher devices of the sorting lanes cannot be switched with each other. At the end of the month, some robots are empty while other robots are fully loaded, resulting in uneven production distribution and low production efficiency.

[0004] 2. When the production plan is unbalanced, the daily maintenance work time of the robots on the side with heavier tasks is short and the tasks are heavy, resulting in incomplete maintenance and inadequate detection of hidden dangers.

[0005] 3. Robot overhaul requires professional staff to be present on site. When parts are damaged, it takes a long time to purchase and replace them. It is difficult for the robot to resume work in a short period of time, which seriously affects the production of the corresponding brand. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0030] Various exemplary embodiments of the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that: Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions, and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0031] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way a limitation on the present utility model or its application or use.

[0032] Technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0033] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0034] According to Figures 1 to 1 a flexible switching device for finished robot hard and soft pack cigarette boxes, comprising a frame 9, a push plate cylinder 5, and a switching cylinder 7;

[0035] A cylinder fixed seat 3 is provided on the frame 9. The push plate cylinder 5 is arranged outside the cylinder fixed seat 3, and the piston rod of the push plate cylinder 5 penetrates through the cylinder fixed seat 3 and is connected with a material push plate 1 for pushing the materials stacked and stored in the warehouse by the robot. A guide rod 2 penetrating through the cylinder fixed seat 3 is further provided outside the material push plate 1, and a limit block is provided at the end of the guide rod 2;

[0036] The switching cylinder 7 is arranged below the push plate cylinder 5 through a cylinder fixing plate 13, and a baffle 10 is provided on the piston rod of the switching cylinder 7. A clamping groove matching with the guide rod 2 is opened on the baffle 10. When the clamping groove is in contact with the guide rod 2, the limit block abuts against the baffle 10, and the pushing distance of the material push plate 1 is reduced; when the clamping groove is away from the guide rod 2, the pushing distance of the material push plate 1 is increased.

[0037] According to the instructions given by the control program, the piston rod of the switching cylinder 7 is controlled to expand and contract, thereby driving the baffle 10 to move up (down). As Figure 4 shown, when the stop block is at the lowest position, the movement of the guide rod 2 is not affected and can fully expand and contract. At this time, the movement stroke of the material push plate 1 is the largest, and the size of the corresponding station on the sorting channel is smaller, adapting to the size of the soft pack cigarette box. As Figure 5 shown, when the baffle 10 rises to the highest position, the end of the guide rod 2 is stuck at the baffle 10, the movement is restricted, and the stroke of the driven material push plate 1 is reduced, and the size of the corresponding sorting channel station can adapt to the larger size of the hard pack cigarette box.

[0038] Further, the number of the guide rods 2 is two, and the two guide rods 2 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the piston rod of the push plate cylinder 5 to ensure the restriction and guiding effect of the guide rods 2 on the material push plate 1.

[0039] Still further, a linear bearing 8 is provided on the cylinder fixing seat 3, and the guide rod 2 is sleeved in the linear bearing 8. By means of the linear bearing 8, the sliding friction between the guide rod 2 and the cylinder fixing seat 3 is changed into rolling friction, which is beneficial to the movement of the guide rod 2 and meanwhile avoids the wear of the guide rod 2.

[0040] Still further, two guide rods 2 are provided, and two card slots should also be opened on the corresponding baffle 10, and the two card slots respectively correspond to the two guide rods 2.

[0041] Further, the baffle 10 and the switching cylinder 7 are connected by at least two piston rods. During implementation, the movement path of the baffle 10 is ensured to be unique by multiple piston rods.

[0042] Further, a first air inlet 4 and a second air inlet 6 are also provided on the push plate cylinder 5 to control the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the push plate cylinder 5. The first air inlet 4 is located at one end of the push plate cylinder 5 close to the cylinder fixing seat 3, and the second air inlet 6 is located at one end of the push plate cylinder 5 far from the cylinder fixing seat 3. When the first air inlet 4 intakes air, the piston rod of the push plate cylinder 5 contracts, and when the second air inlet 6 intakes air, the piston rod of the push plate cylinder 5 extends. Through the combined action of the first air inlet 4 and the second air inlet 6, the rapid action of the push plate cylinder 5 is realized.

[0043] Further, a third air inlet 11 and a fourth air inlet 12 are also provided on the switching cylinder 7 to control the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the switching cylinder 7. The third air inlet 11 is located at one end of the switching cylinder 7 close to the cylinder fixing seat 3, and the fourth air inlet 12 is located at one end of the switching cylinder 7 far from the cylinder fixing seat 3. When the third air inlet 11 intakes air, the piston rod of the switching cylinder 7 contracts, and when the fourth air inlet 12 intakes air, the piston rod of the switching cylinder 7 extends. Through the combined action of the third air inlet 11 and the fourth air inlet 12, the rapid action of the switching cylinder 7 is realized.

[0044] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are only for the purpose of illustration and not for the purpose of limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments can be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
