Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tobacco machinery, in particular to a compensating cigarette magazine and a packaging machine. Background Art
[0002] After the YB55 small box transparent paper packaging machine detects unqualified and spliced cigarette packets, the unqualified cigarette packets will be removed at the turntable station. After the unqualified cigarette packets are removed, the cigarette packets in the compensating cigarette magazine hopper are used for supplementary packaging. When supplementary packaging, the lifting block at the bottom arc guide rail of the turntable is lifted, so that the cigarette packets compensated into the turntable die box are lifted by a certain distance. Therefore, the distance between the bottommost cigarette packet in the compensating hopper and the bottom arc guide rail of the turntable die box is also increased. After the compensation is completed, the clamping cylinder and the lifting cylinder of the compensating cigarette magazine act simultaneously to move the bottommost cigarette packet away from the cigarette packet in the die box, so as to avoid scraping against the cigarette packets conveyed in the subsequent turntable. When the last group of two cigarette packets is removed, the control cylinder of the lifting block switches, so that the lifting block descends to zero and is flush with the position of the arc guide rail, so as to avoid damaging the subsequent cigarette packets.
[0003] The inventor found that there are at least the following problems in the prior art: in actual production, after the cigarette packet compensation is completed, it is difficult for the lifting block to be reset in time, which will cause the cigarette packets in the subsequent turntable to collide with the lifting block that has not been reset in time during the movement process, thereby damaging the cigarette packets.

Among them, the detection direction of the detection element faces the detected member, and the detection element is configured to detect whether the detected member is in the original position.
[0006] In some embodiments, the top surface of the lifting block is provided with a plurality of first through holes, and the side surface of the lifting block is provided with a plurality of second through holes; the detected member is provided with third through holes corresponding to the second through holes; the compensation tobacco warehouse further includes a first fastener, and the first fastener passes through the second through holes and the third through holes to fixedly connect the lifting block and the detected member.
[0007] In some embodiments, the detected member is a sheet-shaped metal member.
[0008] In some embodiments, the first mounting frame includes:
[0009] A frame body, mounted on the base;
[0010] A liftable part, which is liftably mounted on the frame body, or the liftable part is configured to be liftable and is mounted on the frame body; the lifting block is mounted on the liftable part.
[0011] In some embodiments, the second mounting bracket includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate. The first mounting plate includes a first mounting hole.

[0033] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a compensation tobacco bin, which includes a base (not shown in the figure), a turntable (not shown in the figure), a guide rail (not shown in the figure), a lifting assembly, and a lifting assembly detection mechanism. The base is configured to be fixed. The turntable is rotatably mounted on the base along its own axis; the turntable includes a disc body (not shown in the figure) and a plurality of clamping blocks (not shown in the figure); each clamping block is dispersedly fixed on the outer wall of the circumferential surface of the disc body; the plurality of clamping blocks are grouped in pairs to form a positioning groove (not shown in the figure) for positioning tobacco packets. The guide rail is mounted on the outer circumference of the turntable; the guide rail is annular, and the plane of the guide rail is parallel to the largest surface of the tobacco packets to be transported; the guide rail is provided with an opening groove, and a movable baffle is provided at the opening groove. Among them, when the movable baffle deviates from the opening groove, the tobacco packet in the positioning groove at the top of the opening groove drops; when the movable baffle blocks the opening groove, the tobacco packet in the positioning groove at the top of the opening groove is removed by the turntable. The lifting assembly includes a first mounting frame, a lifting block 1, and a detected part 2; the first mounting frame is mounted on the bottom of the turntable, the lifting block 1 is vertically movably mounted on the first mounting frame, and the detected part 2 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 1; the detected part 2 protrudes from the bottom surface of the lifting block 1. The detected part 2 includes a raised position and an original position. The lifting assembly detection mechanism includes a second mounting frame 2 and a detection element (not shown in the figure); the second mounting frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the base, and the second mounting frame 2 is located outside the edge of the turntable, and the detection element is mounted on the second mounting frame 2. Among them, the detection direction of the detection element faces the detected part 2, and the detection element is configured to detect whether the detected part 2 is in the original position.
[0034] The base is the fixed part of the entire compensation tobacco bin and is placed on the workshop floor. The base is used to support other components of the compensation tobacco bin. The base can be made of metal welded parts, castings, etc.
[0035] The turntable is mounted on the base, and under the drive of an external force, the turntable can rotate around its own central axis. The rotation of the turntable is intermittent, and it rotates a certain angle (such as 15°), stops, continues to rotate a certain angle (such as 15°) according to a set frequency... and so on in a reciprocating cycle. During the intermittent movement of the turntable, it can receive tobacco packets transported from upstream, cooperate with the detection equipment of the compensation tobacco bin to screen the tobacco packets, eliminate unqualified tobacco packets, and use the compensation hopper to compensate new tobacco packets and perform transportation. The turntable is beneficial to improving the turnover efficiency of materials in the warehouse, reducing the labor intensity of manual handling, and ensuring the safe management of materials.
[0036] The turntable can be made of a metal disc. The turntable made of metal material is durable and has a long service life. During the intermittent rotation of the turntable, the tobacco packets positioned by the clamping blocks on the outer surface of the turntable are transported to different workstations to complete multiple operations such as transportation, screening, and feeding. The turntable is equipped with an accurate control system, so that the operator can operate through the control interface. The control system monitors the operating status of the turntable in real time to ensure its safe and stable operation.
[0037] See Figures 1a to 1c Figures 1a to 1c , in some embodiments, a plurality of first through holes 11 are provided on the top surface of the lifting block 1, and a plurality of second through holes 12 are provided on the side surface of the lifting block 1; the detected member 2 is provided with third through holes 21 corresponding to the second through holes 12; the compensation cigarette magazine further includes a first fastener (not shown in the figure), and the first fastener passes through the second through holes 12 and the third through holes 21 to fixedly connect the lifting block 1 and the detected member 2. The first fastener is, for example, a bolt, a screw, a pin, etc.
[0038] The main function of the lifting block 1 is to control its own height so that the height of the cigarette packs compensated by the compensated hopper meets the requirements, so as to ensure the normal operation of the compensation cigarette magazine.
[0039] The lifting block 1 can adopt an existing structure. The lifting block 1 is a metal block, and its structure is as Figures 1a to 1c shown. When the compensated hopper needs to supplement cigarette packs, the lifting block 1 rises a certain height. When the lifting block 1 does not need to work, the lifting block 1 resets to the initial position. The lifting block 1 adopts a relatively regular block structure and is blocked by other components of the compensated cigarette magazine. It is difficult for the lifting block 1 to be exposed. Even when the lifting block 1 is in the reset state, it is difficult to detect the position of the lifting block 1 with a detection element. Therefore, in the technical solution of this application, the detected member 2 is welded and fixed on the lifting block 1, and the detected member 2 protrudes from the bottom surface of the lifting block 1, which is equivalent to extending the bottom surface of the lifting block 1 downward. The detected member 2 and the lifting block 1 are fixedly connected, and the positional relationship between the two has a clear corresponding relationship. By determining the position of the detected member 2, the position of the lifting block 1 can be accurately judged. When the lifting block 1 needs to be reset, only when it is detected that the detected member 2 is in the original position, it means that the lifting block 1 is completely reset. At this time, the compensation cigarette magazine can perform various operations after the lifting block 1 is reset, and the lifting block 1 will not affect the movement of various adjacent components of the compensation cigarette magazine.
[0040] See Figure 2a and Figure 2b Figure 2b , in some embodiments, the detected member 2 is a sheet-shaped metal member. The detected member 2 is made of metal material, which can increase the selection range of sensors. The detected member 2 adopts a sheet-shaped structure, so that the overall weight of the lifting block 1 and the detected member 2 is small, which is convenient for lifting and lowering.
[0041] The detected member 2 provided by the above technical solution has a simple structure, low cost, and can effectively reduce the quality accidents caused by the cigarette packs being damaged due to the failure of the lifting block 1 to be reset in time, improve the quality stability of the equipment, and ensure the good quality of the cigarette packs.
[0042] In some embodiments, the first mounting bracket (not shown in the figures) includes a frame body (not shown in the figures) and a liftable part (not shown in the figures). The frame body is mounted on the base. The liftable part is mounted on the frame body in a liftable manner. For example, the liftable part is slidably mounted on the frame body in a straight line, and the up-and-down sliding is realized through the linear motion of the liftable part. Alternatively, the liftable part is configured to be liftable and is mounted on the frame body. For example, the liftable part is a telescopic rod, and the lifting block 1 is driven to lift linearly through its own telescoping. The lifting block 1 is mounted on the liftable part. The lifting block 1 can be welded or mounted on the liftable part by threaded connection.
[0043] Refer to Figures 3a to 3c , and the installation of the detection element will be introduced below. The detection element can be a position sensor. In some embodiments, the second mounting bracket 2 includes a first mounting plate 31 and a second mounting plate 32. The first mounting plate 31 includes a first mounting hole 311. The second mounting plate 32 is fixedly connected to or integral with the first mounting plate 31, and the plane of the first mounting plate 31 intersects the plane of the second mounting plate 32; the second mounting bracket 2 is generally an L-shaped plate. The second mounting plate 32 includes a second mounting hole 321. The compensating tobacco magazine further includes a second fastener (not shown in the figures) and a third fastener (not shown in the figures). The detection element is detachably fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 31 through the second fastener, and the second mounting plate 32 is detachably fixedly connected to the base through the third fastener. The second fastener and the third fastener are, for example, bolts, screws, pin shafts, etc.
[0044] In some embodiments, the compensating tobacco magazine further includes a compensating hopper (not shown in the figures). The compensating hopper is mounted on the base and is located at the top of the lifting assembly, and there is a gap between the compensating hopper and the top of the lifting assembly.
[0045] The embodiment of the present utility model further provides a packaging machine, including the compensating tobacco magazine provided by any technical solution of the present utility model. The packaging machine is specifically, for example, a GDX1 soft-packaging machine, and the compensating tobacco magazine is specifically, for example, a CH compensating tobacco magazine.
[0046] When the in-place detector mounted on the bracket does not detect the detection piece on the lifting block 1 within the specified phase when the compensating tobacco magazine finishes replenishing tobacco, the equipment stops, and a zeroing detection fault of the lifting block 1 of the compensating tobacco magazine is displayed. After the compensating tobacco package is completed, the lifting block 1 is zeroed and reset. The in-place detector mounted on the bracket detects the detection piece on the lifting block 1 to check whether the detection piece is in place within the specified phase. Otherwise, the equipment stops, and a zeroing detection fault of the lifting block 1 of the compensating tobacco magazine is displayed.
[0047] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for facilitating the description of the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation to the protection scope of the present utility model. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0048] In the description of the present utility model, where feasible, each technical feature can be combined with other technical features.
[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit them; although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features, but these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present utility model.
