Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of packaging equipment, in particular to an adjustable transition bin of a packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] The ZB45 packaging machine has high production efficiency and stable performance. It is a packaging machine model widely used in my country's tobacco factories. Its main structure includes multiple production wheels. Among the multiple production wheels, wheels No. 2 and No. 3 are mainly used for aluminum foil packaging and forming of cigarette packs; among them, wheel No. 2 mainly completes the aluminum foil wrapping and forming processes, and wheel No. 3 mainly completes the process of removing unqualified aluminum foil wrapped cigarette packs and transferring cigarette packs.

[0003] Both the second and third wheels are equipped with multiple workstations. The second and third wheels rotate to transport cigarette packs, with their axes of rotation perpendicular to each other. A transition bin is located between the second and third wheels. The cigarette packs are moved sequentially through the second wheel and the transition bin to the third wheel. During this movement, the aluminum foil wrapped around the cigarette packs comes into contact with the inner wall of the transition bin, shaping the foil. After prolonged use, the contact area between the transition bin and the cigarette packs wears out, causing the size of the transition bin opening to increase. As the cigarette packs pass through the transition bin, a gap forms between the packs and the inner wall. This oversized opening reduces the transition bin's ability to shape the cigarette packs, which in turn reduces the quality of the aluminum foil packaging.

[0004] The method used in the existing technology is usually to stick copper sheets for size compensation or replace the entire transition chamber. However, due to the small space between the second wheel and the third wheel, whether it is size compensation or replacing the entire transition chamber, the operator needs to spend a lot of time to make adjustments, affecting production efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 3 . An adjustable transition bin of a packaging machine is arranged between the second wheel 10 and the third wheel 20, and includes a bin body 30, a moving device and an adjustment mechanism. A moving channel 301 is provided in the bin body 30. The adjustment mechanism includes a first adjustment plate 31 and a second adjustment plate 32 provided in the moving channel 301. The first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can move relative to the moving channel 301 to change the cross-sectional area of the moving channel 301. A shaping guide rail 40 is provided between the bin body 30 and the second wheel 10. The shaping guide rail 40 is connected to the moving channel 301. The moving device drives the cigarette pack 60 to pass through the shaping guide rail 40 and the moving channel 301 in sequence, and move from the second wheel 10 to the third wheel 20.

[0031] The positional relationship between the second wheel 10 and the third wheel 20 on the ZB45 packaging machine in the prior art is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there is a horizontal and height difference between the nearest positions of the second wheel 10 and the third wheel 20. The cigarette pack 60 needs to undergo both horizontal and vertical displacement to move from the second wheel 10 to the third wheel 20. Therefore, in this application, to adapt to the original packaging machine structure and reduce installation costs, the movable channel 301 and the shaping guide rail 40 are perpendicular to each other. The shaping guide rail 40 is horizontally connected to the second wheel 10 and the chamber 30, while the movable channel 301 is vertically connected to the shaping guide rail 40 and the third wheel 20.

[0032] The shaping guide 40 comprises two parallel shaping plates 41. A cigarette pack 60, wrapped in aluminum foil, passes between these two plates. As the pack 60 moves, the shaping plates 41 on either side contact and rub against the aluminum foil, shaping the folded foil and preventing it from unraveling. A moving channel 301 runs the length of the chamber 30. Considering that most cigarette packs 60 are rectangular, its cross-section is rectangular. The upper end of the channel 301 is connected to the lower end of the shaping guide 40. As the pack 60 passes through the shaping guide 40 and enters the channel 301, the inner wall of the channel 301 contacts and rubs against the aluminum foil, shaping it.

[0033] A first adjustment plate 31 and a second adjustment plate 32 are provided in the movable channel 301. The first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 are both arranged parallel to the inner wall of the movable channel 301, and the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 are perpendicular to each other. The first adjustment plate 31 can move along the vertical direction of its corresponding inner wall, and the second adjustment plate 32 can move along the vertical direction of its corresponding inner wall. The first adjustment plate 31, the second adjustment plate 32 and the inner wall of the movable channel 301 are connected in sequence to form a new movable channel 301; the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 can move separately to change the cross-sectional size of the movable channel 301, thereby compensating for the problem of the cross-sectional size of the movable channel 301 becoming larger due to long-term use and wear.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the first adjustment plate 31 is connected to the shaping plate 41. Moving the first adjustment plate 31 moves the shaping plate 41 along with it, adjusting the width of the shaping guide rail 40 to compensate for the inability of the shaping guide rail 40 to effectively shape the aluminum foil due to wear. Two first adjustment plates 31 are provided within the housing 30, arranged parallel to each other. These two first adjustment plates 31 serve as the inner walls of the movement channel 301, contacting both sides of the cigarette pack 60 and shaping the aluminum foil. Two first adjustment plates 31 are provided to ensure that the cigarette pack 60 moves along the center line of the shaping guide rail 40; generally speaking, the two shaping plates 41 contact both sides of the cigarette pack 60 at the same time, so when the shaping guide rail 40 is worn, the wear amount of the two shaping plates 41 is similar. When the shaping plates 41 on both sides are worn, the two first adjustment plates 31 are adjusted to move toward each other to reduce the width of the shaping guide rail 40; at the same time, adjusting the two first adjustment plates 31 to move toward each other can reduce the offset of the center axis of the shaping guide rail 40, so that when the cigarette pack 60 moves, the two shaping plates 41 can both contact the outside of the cigarette pack 60, effectively shaping the aluminum foil.

[0035] The cigarette pack 60 is sent out by the second wheel 10 and enters the shaping guide rail 40. When moving in the shaping guide rail 40, the shaping plates 41 on both sides contact the cigarette pack 60 to shape the aluminum foil; the first adjustment plate 31 is connected to the shaping plate 41. When the cigarette pack 60 moves from the shaping guide rail 40 to the warehouse body 30, the shaping is changed from being performed by the shaping plate 41 to being performed by the first adjustment plate 31.

[0036] The second adjustment plate 32 is arranged perpendicular to the first adjustment plate 31, and the second adjustment plate 32 is arranged opposite to the shaping guide rail 40; after the cigarette package 60 is transferred from the shaping guide rail 40 to the warehouse body 30, the other outer wall of the cigarette package 60 contacts the second adjustment plate 32 and the inner wall of the moving channel 301, and is shaped under the action of the second adjustment plate 32 and the inner wall of the moving channel 301.

[0037] In this embodiment, both the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 are provided with waist-shaped holes, and both the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 are connected to the bin body 30 via the waist-shaped holes. Specifically, on the first adjustment plate 31, the length of the waist-shaped hole is parallel to the movement direction of the first adjustment plate 31. The first adjustment plate 31 is connected to the bin body 30 via bolts. The first adjustment plate 31 is moved along the length of the waist-shaped hole to adjust its position, ensuring that the first adjustment plate 31 and the shaping plate 41 can contact the outer wall of the cigarette pack 60. On the second adjustment plate 32, the length of the waist-shaped hole is parallel to the movement direction of the adjustment plate. The second adjustment plate 32 is connected to the bin body 30 via bolts. The second adjustment plate 32 is moved along the length of the waist-shaped hole to adjust its position, ensuring that the second adjustment plate 32 and the inner wall of the movable channel 301 can contact the outer wall of the cigarette pack 60, thereby shaping the aluminum foil.

[0038] It is defined that when the cigarette pack 60 moves in the shaping guide rail 40 , the moving direction of the cigarette pack 60 is the front-to-back direction; when moving in the moving channel 301 , the moving direction of the cigarette pack 60 is the up-down direction. The shaping process of the cigarette package 60 is as follows: the cigarette package 60 enters the shaping guide rail 40 from the second wheel 10, and the shaping plates 41 on both sides contact the left and right outer walls of the cigarette package 60 to prevent the aluminum foil covering the outside of the cigarette package 60 from unfolding. The cigarette package 60 moves in the shaping guide rail 40. During the movement, the shaping plates 41 remain in contact with the cigarette package 60 to shape the aluminum foil on the left and right sides of the cigarette package 60. Before the moving direction of the cigarette package 60 changes, a pair of outer walls of the cigarette package 60 are shaped by the shaping plates 41 and the first adjustment plate 31; after the moving direction of the cigarette package 60 changes and enters the warehouse body 30, the cigarette package 60 moves in the moving channel 301. During the movement, the outer walls of the front and rear ends of the cigarette package 60 remain in contact with the second adjustment plate 32 and the inner wall of the moving channel 301 to shape the aluminum foil at the front and rear ends of the cigarette package 60. The cigarette pack 60 passes through the shaping guide rail 40 and the moving channel 301 in sequence, and the aluminum foil on its periphery is shaped by the shaping plate 41, the first adjustment plate 31, and the second adjustment plate 32.

[0039] The cigarette pack 60 is driven by a moving device. In this embodiment, the moving device includes a first moving mechanism 51 and a second moving mechanism 52, which respectively drive the cigarette pack 60 to move in the shaping guide rail 40 and the moving channel 301. Specifically, the first moving mechanism 51 includes two oppositely arranged push plates, which clamp the front and rear end faces of the cigarette package 60, driving the cigarette package 60 to move in the horizontal shaping guide rail 40, and the shaping guide rail 40 shapes the aluminum package covering the left and right sides of the cigarette package 60. Accordingly, in order to ensure that the push rod can move smoothly to clamp the cigarette package 60, an avoidance groove is provided on the side wall of the warehouse body 30 opposite to the shaping guide rail 40, and the push plate can clamp the cigarette package 60 through the avoidance groove; the structure of the second moving mechanism 52 is the same as that of the first moving mechanism 51, the difference is that, in the second moving mechanism 52, the installation positions of the two push plates are located above and below the warehouse body 30, the two push plates clamp the upper and lower end faces of the cigarette package 60, driving the cigarette package 60 to move in the moving channel 301, and the second adjustment plate 32 shapes the aluminum foil covering the front and back sides of the cigarette package 60. In this embodiment, the first moving mechanism 51 and the second moving mechanism 52 are driven by a rack and pinion to achieve linear movement; as another real-time method, the first moving mechanism 51 and the second moving mechanism 52 can be driven to move by a cylinder.

[0040] Furthermore, a detection rod 43 is provided on the shaping guide rail 40, and the detection rod 43 is placed horizontally on the shaping guide rail 40. A movable groove is provided on the shaping guide rail 40, and the detection rod 43 is inserted into the movable groove, and there is a clearance fit between the movable groove and the detection rod 43, and a sensor is provided above the movable groove; when an unqualified cigarette pack 60 (such as the cigarette pack 60 is deformed, or the cigarette pack 60 is in an unconventional placement position) moves in the shaping guide rail 40, the unqualified cigarette pack 60 will push up the detection rod 43, and the sensor senses that the detection rod 43 is pushed up, and issues a warning, indicating that there is an unqualified cigarette pack 60. In this embodiment, the detection rod 43 is a square tube. A sloped surface 431 is provided on the lower end of the detection rod 43, facing the center wheel 10. The distance between the sloped surface 431 and the bottom surface of the shaped guide rail 40 gradually decreases as the cigarette pack 60 moves. This prevents interference between the edges of the cigarette pack 60 and the edges of the detection rod 43, ensuring that the cigarette pack 60 can pass smoothly through the detection rod 43 and lift the detection rod 43. Alternatively, the detection rod 43 can be a round rod.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 4The working process of this application is as follows: in the second wheel 10, the aluminum foil is wrapped around the cigarette pack 60, and two protruding folded edges are formed at the upper and lower ends of the cigarette pack 60 respectively; the second wheel 10 rotates clockwise to transport the cigarette pack 60 and the aluminum foil. The cigarette pack 60 rotates with the second wheel 10 from the bottom of the shaping guide rail 40 and moves upward to enter the shaping track. In the process of entering the shaping track, the shaping plates 41 on both sides move downward relative to the side walls of the cigarette pack 60, folding the upper folded edge of the aluminum foil at the upper end of the cigarette pack 60 downward, and folding the aluminum foil on the left and right sides of the cigarette pack 60. Then, the first moving mechanism 51 drives the cigarette pack 60 to move in the shaping guide rail 40 to shape the folded aluminum foil to prevent the aluminum foil from spreading. The second moving mechanism 52 drives the cigarette pack 60 to be transferred from the shaping guide rail 40 into the warehouse body 30. In the process of entering the moving channel 301, the second adjustment plate 32 and the inner wall of the moving channel 301 move upward relative to the cigarette pack 60, folding the lower folded edge of the aluminum foil at the lower end of the cigarette pack 60 upward. The cigarette pack 60 moves in the moving channel 301, shaping the folded aluminum foil, and then the cigarette pack 60 enters the third wheel 20.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is that in this embodiment, the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32 are connected to the chamber body 30 via a pressing device 33, which adjusts the cross-sectional size of the movable channel 301. The pressing device 33 includes an adjusting member 331 and an elastic member 332. The adjusting member 331 is connected to the chamber body 30, and one end of the elastic member 332 is connected to the first adjustment plate 31 or the second adjustment plate 32, and the other end is connected to the adjusting member 331. By moving the adjusting member 331 to change the distance between the first adjustment plate 31 and the second adjustment plate 32, the elastic contraction of the elastic member 332 is used to press the side wall of the cigarette pack 60, thereby achieving a better aluminum foil shaping effect.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment member 331 is threadedly connected to the housing 30, and the elastic member 332 is a spring. One end of the spring is fixed to the end of the adjustment member 331, and the other end abuts the end surface of the first adjustment plate 31 or the second adjustment plate 32. When the shaping guide rail 40 and the movable channel 301 become worn, the adjustment member 331 is rotated according to the degree of wear of the shaping guide rail 40 and the movable channel 301, so that the width of the shaping guide rail 40 is slightly smaller than the width of the cigarette pack 60, and the distance between the second adjustment plate 32 and the inner wall of the movable channel 301 is slightly smaller than the length of the cigarette pack 60. Taking the movement of the cigarette pack 60 within the shaping guide rail 40 as an example, when the cigarette pack 60 moves within the shaping guide rail 40, the shaping plate 41 and the first adjustment plate 31 are pressed against the cigarette pack 60 under the action of the elastic member 332, forcing the aluminum foil covering the cigarette pack 60 to adhere to the cigarette pack 60, thereby shaping the aluminum foil and achieving a good shaping effect. The same principle applies when the cigarette pack 60 moves within the movable channel 301.

[0045] Furthermore, considering that under the action of the elastic member 332, the ends of the movable channel 301 and the ends of the shaping guide rail 40 are smaller than the length and width of the cigarette pack 60, when the cigarette pack 60 enters the shaping guide rail 40, the corner ends and edges of the cigarette pack 60 are likely to interfere and collide with the shaping plate 41; to address the above problem, in this embodiment, a guide plate 42 is provided at one end of the shaping guide rail 40 close to the second wheel 10, and the guide plate 42 is provided at the end of the shaping plate 41, and the guide plate 42 is inclined outward so that the end of the shaping guide rail 40 is in an outward trumpet shape, and the cigarette pack 60 can enter the shaping guide rail 40 along the guide plate 42.

[0046] Furthermore, a guide rod 333 is provided at the end of the adjusting member 331 , and a spring is sleeved outside the guide rod 333 to prevent the spring from bending and deforming.

[0047] As another embodiment, an arc surface can be provided at the end of the shaping plate 41 or on the opposite side of the two shaping plates 41 , and the cigarette package 60 enters the shaping guide rail 40 along the arc surface to avoid collision between the cigarette package 60 and the shaping plate 41 .

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that modifications may be made to the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or that some of the technical features may be replaced with equivalents; and such modifications or replacements do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
