[0005] (2) Technical Solutions

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides such an electromagnetic flexible cigarette posture correcting device for strip cigarettes. The device includes a conveying component for conveying strip cigarettes and a programmable logic controller. Both the front and rear sides above the conveying component are respectively provided with a first fixed seat and a second fixed seat through adjusting components. A flexible catching and releasing component is rotatably arranged between the first fixed seat and the second fixed seat through an electromagnetic clutch. Two sensors are installed on the left side of the flexible catching and releasing component.

[0007] Preferably, the two sensors are used to detect the front and rear sides of the strip cigarette. The programmable logic controller is used to receive the signals of the two sensors and judge the cigarette posture. The electromagnetic clutch is used to receive the signal of the programmable logic controller and lock the flexible catching and releasing component to correct the cigarette posture.

[0008] Furthermore, the flexible catching and releasing component includes a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the first fixed seat through a bearing. The electromagnetic clutch is installed on the second fixed seat. The other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the electromagnetic clutch. Multiple groups of flange plates are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft. A plurality of elastic columns are installed on the outer surface of the flange plate. When the elastic columns are perpendicular to the strip cigarette, they can generate a blocking force. When the elastic columns contact the surface of the strip cigarette at a certain angle, the elastic columns retract and do not generate a blocking force.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic column includes a fixed column and a movable column. The fixed column is fixedly connected to the flange plate. One end of the movable column is located inside the fixed column and is fixedly connected with a slider. A spring is fixedly connected between the slider and the inner wall of the fixed column.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of each group of flange plates is two, and the multiple elastic columns on the two flange plates are arranged staggeredly.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting assembly includes fixed frames fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the conveying assembly. The upper surface of the fixed frame is fixedly connected with a transverse guide rail. A first movable seat is slidably arranged on the upper surface of the transverse guide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the sensor is located at the conveying end of the conveying assembly, and the distance between the sensor and the rotating shaft is less than the width of a cigarette carton.

[0013] Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] In the present utility model, by arranging an adjusting assembly between the conveying assembly and the flexible catching and releasing assembly, during use, the first movable seat can be adjusted to move left and right along the transverse guide rail, and the second movable seat can move up and down along the vertical guide rail, and at the same time, it has a locking function, so that the height difference of the flexible catching and releasing assembly can be adaptively adjusted to adapt to cigarette cartons with different conveying speeds.

[0016] In the present utility model, with the electromagnetic clutch as the locking implementation mechanism, the flange-type elastic wheel as the flexible catching and releasing assembly, the dual sensors as the cigarette posture determination mechanism, and the programmable controller as the electric control logic, when the sensor determines that the cigarette posture is incorrect, the electromagnetic clutch switches to the locked state, and the flexible catching and releasing assembly cannot rotate. When the elastic column contacts the inclined surface of the cigarette carton at a certain angle, the inclined movable column drives the slider to retract into the fixed column and compress the spring, without generating a blocking force. At this time, the movable column perpendicular to the cigarette carton will not retract into the fixed column and generates a blocking force on the cigarette carton, realizing the correction of the cigarette posture. When the sensor determines that the cigarette posture is adjusted normally, the electromagnetic clutch pops open, and the cigarette carton passes through the flexible catching and releasing assembly without resistance, thereby improving the accuracy of real-time code reading data.

Specific embodiments

[0023] This specific embodiment is an electromagnetic cigarette strip posture flexible correction device, and its schematic structural diagram is as Figures 1-5 shown. The device includes a conveying assembly 1 for conveying cigarette strips and a programmable logic controller 2. On the front and rear sides above the conveying assembly 1, a first fixing seat 4 and a second fixing seat 5 are respectively arranged through an adjusting assembly 3. Between the first fixing seat 4 and the second fixing seat 5, a flexible catching and releasing assembly 7 is rotatably arranged through an electromagnetic clutch 6. On the left side of the flexible catching and releasing assembly 7, two sensors 8 are installed through a bracket (the bracket is not shown). The model of the programmable logic controller 2 is Siemens S7-200 Smart, and this component is used to realize the input and output control of electric control signals. The input signals are mainly docked with the signals of the sensors 8, and the output signals are mainly docked with the signals of the electromagnetic clutch 6, and can realize the adjustment of control logic, including detection and judgment logic, output signal delay and abnormal shutdown signal output, etc. The model of the sensor 8 is Panasonic Keyence LX-101-P.

[0024] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown: In this embodiment, the two sensors 8 are used to detect the front and rear sides of the cigarette strip. The programmable logic controller 2 is used to receive the signals of the two sensors 8 and judge the cigarette posture. The electromagnetic clutch 6 is used to receive the signal of the programmable logic controller 2 and lock the flexible catching and releasing assembly 7 to correct the cigarette posture.

[0025] Among them, the electromagnetic clutch 6 adopts the electromagnetic suction principle and can achieve high-speed locking. Its control signal is input and controlled by the programmable controller 2. When the cigarette posture sensor 8 determines that the cigarette posture is incorrect, the electromagnetic clutch 6 switches to the locking state, generating a blocking force on the cigarette strip. When the cigarette posture sensor 8 determines that the cigarette posture is adjusted normally, the electromagnetic clutch 6 springs open, and the cigarette strip passes through the flexible catching and releasing component 7 without resistance.

[0026] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown: In this embodiment, the flexible catching and releasing component 7 includes a rotating shaft 701. One end of the rotating shaft 701 is rotatably connected to the first fixed seat 4 through a bearing. The electromagnetic clutch 6 is installed on the second fixed seat 5. The other end of the rotating shaft 701 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electromagnetic clutch 6. Multiple groups of flange plates 702 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 701. Multiple elastic columns 703 are installed on the outer surface of the flange plates 702. When the elastic columns 703 are perpendicular to the cigarette strip, they can generate a blocking force. When the elastic columns 703 contact the surface of the cigarette strip at a certain angle, the elastic columns 703 retract and do not generate a blocking force. In this way, flexible blocking is achieved, and the cigarette strip can be captured at high speed. At the same time, when passing through this mechanism at high speed, it has no influence on the conveying speed of the cigarette strip.

[0027] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown: In this embodiment, the elastic column 703 includes a fixed column 704 and a movable column 705. The fixed column 704 is fixedly connected to the flange plate 702. One end of the movable column 705 is located inside the fixed column 704 and is fixedly connected to a slider 706. A spring 707 is fixedly connected between the slider 706 and the inner wall of the fixed column 704. The number of each group of flange plates 702 is two, and the multiple elastic columns 703 on the two flange plates 702 are arranged staggeredly.

[0028] When the cigarette posture sensor 8 determines that the cigarette posture is incorrect, the electromagnetic clutch 6 switches to the locking state, and the rotating shaft 701, the flange plates 702, and the elastic columns 703 rotate. When the elastic columns 703 contact the surface of the cigarette strip at a certain angle, the movable column 705 drives the slider 706 to retract into the fixed column 704 and compress the spring 707, and no blocking force is generated. At this time, the movable column 705 perpendicular to the cigarette strip will not retract into the fixed column 704, generating a blocking force on the cigarette strip until the cigarette strip is corrected. When the cigarette posture sensor 8 determines that the cigarette posture is adjusted normally, the electromagnetic clutch 6 springs open, and the rotating shaft 701, the flange plates 702, and the elastic columns 703 rotate, and the cigarette strip passes through the flexible catching and releasing component 7 without resistance.

[0029] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown: In this embodiment, since the resistance set during the transportation of cigarette cartons is directly related to their height, in order to adapt to the picking and placing of cigarette cartons at different transportation speeds, it is necessary to make an adaptive adjustment to the height difference of the picking and placing mechanism. Therefore, this base is in an adjustable mode and has a locking function. Specifically, the adjusting component 3 includes fixing frames 301 fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the conveying component 1. The upper surface of the fixing frame 301 is fixedly connected with a horizontal guide rail 302. A first movable seat 303 is slidably arranged on the upper surface of the horizontal guide rail 302. A first adjusting handle 304 is threadedly connected to the rear side of the first movable seat 303. The upper surface of the first movable seat 303 is fixedly connected with a vertical guide rail 305. A second movable seat 306 is slidably connected to the left side of the vertical guide rail 305. A second adjusting handle 307 is threadedly connected to the rear side of the second movable seat 306. The first fixing seat 4 and the second fixing seat 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear second movable seats 306. By tightening the first adjusting handle 304, it can be tightened against the horizontal guide rail 302 to lock the first movable seat 303. By tightening the second adjusting handle 307, it can be tightened against the vertical guide rail 305 to lock the second movable seat 306.

[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown: In this embodiment, the sensor 8 is located at the conveying end of the conveying component 1, and the distance between the sensor 8 and the rotating shaft 701 is less than the width of a cigarette carton.

[0031] The sensor 8 adopts a dual-sensor or multi-sensor mode to collect the signal of the triggering moment of the cigarette carton. By judging the time difference of triggering, the quality of the cigarette carton posture is determined. When the posture does not meet the requirements, an abnormal posture signal is sent to the programmable controller 2. Since the distance between the sensor 8 and the rotating shaft 701 is set to be close, the posture of the cigarette carton can be corrected more quickly.

[0032] Working principle: The conveying component 1 conveys the cigarette cartons. Two sensors 8 collect the signal of the triggering moment of the cigarette cartons. By judging the time difference of triggering, the quality of the cigarette carton posture is determined. When the posture sensor 8 judges that the posture of the cigarette carton is not correct, an abnormal posture signal is sent to the programmable controller 2. At this time, the programmable controller 2 controls the electromagnetic clutch 6 to switch to the locked state, and the rotating shaft 701, the flange 702 and the elastic column 703 rotate. When the elastic column 703 contacts the inclined surface of the cigarette carton at a certain angle, the inclined movable column 705 drives the slider 706 to retract into the fixed column 704 and compress the spring 707, and no resistance is generated. At this time, the movable column 705 perpendicular to the cigarette carton will not retract into the fixed column 704, and a resistance is generated on the cigarette carton until the cigarette carton is corrected. When the posture sensor 8 judges that the posture of the cigarette carton is adjusted normally, the electromagnetic clutch 6 pops open, and the rotating shaft 701, the flange 702 and the elastic column 703 rotate, and the cigarette carton passes through the flexible picking and placing component 7 without resistance.

[0033] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0034] The above embodiments are preferred implementation solutions of the present utility model. In addition, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the technical solution is within the protection scope of the present utility model.
