Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cigarette production, and particularly relates to a box pushing and lane separating device. Background Art

[0002] The hard-packed cigarettes currently used on the market cannot be packaged into strips using packaging machines. Most of the hard-packed cigarettes are purchased from outside. When the hard-packed cigarette manufacturers ship the hard-packed cigarettes, they are packed and shipped to the cigarette factory and transported via conveyor lines for use. After the upstream robot depalletizes the hard-packed cigarettes, it places the hard-packed cigarettes on the conveyor line, which transports the hard-packed cigarettes to the working position of the filler, and the filler uses the hard-packed cigarettes for packaging. Currently, there is only one transport line between the upstream robot and the downstream filler, but the depalletizing efficiency of the upstream robot does not match the filling efficiency of the filler, and oversupply often occurs. When there is oversupply, the hard-packed cigarettes transported by the upstream robot will be stranded at the filler, thereby indirectly reducing the production efficiency of cigarette production.

[0027] To more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention and the technical solutions in the prior art, the following describes specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely examples of the present invention. A person skilled in the art can, without inventive effort, derive other drawings and other embodiments from these drawings. Furthermore, design orientations only represent relative positional relationships between components, not absolute positional relationships.

[0028] The utility model provides a box pushing and dividing device. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 , mainly includes a first transport line 1, a second transport line 2, a transition plate 3, a frame 4, and a box push assembly 5.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, a box pushing and dividing device includes a first transport line 1 and a second transport line 2. The first transport line 1 and the second transport line 2 are arranged side by side, and the first transport line 1 is the main transport line, and the second transport line 2 is the backup transport line. Fillers are provided at the transport terminals of the first transport line 1 and the second transport line 2. A transition plate 3 is provided between the first transport line 1 and the second transport line 2. One end of the transition plate 3 is fixedly connected to the first transport line 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second transport line 2. A frame 4 is also arranged on the periphery of the first transport line 1 and the second transport line 2. The frame 4 is fixedly connected to the first transport line 1 and the second transport line 2. A box pushing assembly 5 is provided above the first transport line 1 and is fixed to the frame 4. When too many cartons are transported on the first transport line 1, the box pushing assembly 5 will push the cartons on the first transport line 1 to the second transport line 2, so that the subsequent cartons are transported to the filler on the second transport line 2, thereby avoiding the accumulation of cartons and improving the production efficiency of cigarette production.

[0030] It should be noted that Figure 2 For reference, Figure 2 The left and right directions are the width directions described below. Figure 2 The middle up-down direction is the height direction described below.

[0031] In one embodiment, the box pushing assembly 5 includes a push plate 51, a motor 52 and a transmission member 53. The transmission member 53 is arranged above the frame 4. Specifically, the motor 52 is arranged on the side of the first transport line 1 away from the second transport line 2. When the box pushing assembly 5 pushes the box, the motor 52 starts and drives the push plate 51 to move in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the box through the transmission member 53, so as to push the box on the first transport line 1, so that the box passes through the transition plate 3 and moves to the second transport line 2.

[0032] Furthermore, the transmission member 53 includes a transmission base plate 531, a slide rail 532, a slider 533, a connecting block 534, a rocker 535 and a rocker 536. The transmission base plate 531 is arranged directly above the frame 4 and fixed to the frame 4. The transmission base plate 531 is provided with a slide rail 532. The extension direction of the slide rail 532 is perpendicular to the transportation direction of the box. The slide rail 532 is embedded with a slider 533 that can move along the extension direction of the slide rail 532. One end of the slider 533 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting block 534. The other end of the connecting block 534 is fixedly connected to the push plate 51, so that the push plate 51 and the slider 533 move synchronously. The motor 52 is fixed under the transmission base plate 531. The transmission base plate 531 is provided with a transmission through hole. The motor shaft of the motor 52 passes through the transmission through hole. A rocker 535 is sleeved on the motor shaft of the motor 52. A rocker rod 536 is also provided between the rocker rod 535 and the slider 533. One end of the rocker rod 536 is rotatably connected to the rocker rod 535, and the other end is rotatably connected to the other end of the slider 533. The motor 52 is started, and the motor shaft of the motor 52 drives the rocker 535 to make a circular motion with the motor shaft as the center. During the rotation of the rocker 535, it will pull or push the slider 533 to make a reciprocating motion on the slide rail 532. The slider 533 will drive the push plate 51 to move in the process of moving toward the arrangement direction of the second transport line 2. The push plate 51 pushes the box on the first transport line 1, so that the box passes through the transition plate 3 and moves to the second transport line 2. Then the slider 533 will move in the arrangement direction away from the second transport line 2, return to the initial position, and push the subsequent box.

[0033] Preferably, two slide rails 532 are arranged, and the connecting block 534 is arranged between the two slide rails 532 . The connecting block 534 is fixedly connected to the sliders 533 on the two slide rails 532 .

[0034] In other embodiments, the push plate 51 can be pushed by a telescopic cylinder, the fixed end of the telescopic cylinder is fixed on the frame 4, the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting block 534, and the other end of the connecting block 534 is fixedly connected to the push plate 51.

[0035] In one embodiment, a first baffle 54 is provided on the side of the push plate 51 near the starting point of the first transport line 1. The width of the first baffle 54 is greater than the sum of the widths of the first transport line 1 and the transition plate 3. It is foreseeable that when the push plate 51 pushes the strip boxes to move, the first transport line 1 is still transporting strip boxes. By providing the first baffle 54, when the push plate 51 pushes the current strip box, the first baffle 54 will abut against the subsequently transported strip box, thereby preventing the subsequently transported strip box from affecting the pushing of the current strip box.

[0036] In one embodiment, a limit plate 6 is provided on the side of the second transport line 2 away from the first transport line 1. When the strip box is pushed onto the second transport line 2 by the push plate 51, the limit plate 6 will abut against the surface of the strip box, thereby having a blocking effect, thereby preventing the strip box from flying out of the second transport line 2 due to inertia.

[0037] Furthermore, a detection through hole is provided on the limit plate 6, and a first sensor and a second sensor are provided on the side of the second transport line 2 away from the first transport line 1. The detection point of the first sensor is located in the detection through hole. The first sensor is used to detect whether the strip box is pushed onto the second transport line 2, and the second sensor is used to detect and count the strip boxes transported from the second transport line 2. A third sensor is provided on the side of the first transport line 1 away from the second transport line 2, and the third sensor is used to detect and count the strip boxes transported from the first transport line 1. The number of strip boxes passing through the two transport lines recorded by the second sensor and the third sensor can be used to determine which transport line the subsequent strip boxes should be transported on.

[0038] In one embodiment, the upper surface of the frame 4 is provided with a mounting slot 41, within which a mounting block 42 is embedded. The mounting block 42 is movable within the mounting slot 41. The mounting block 42 is provided with a threaded hole, and the transmission base plate 531 is provided with a through hole. The lane dividing device further includes a bolt, one end of which passes through the through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole, thereby securing the transmission base plate 531 to the frame 4. By providing the mounting slot 41 on the frame 4 and the mounting block 42 movable within the mounting slot 41 to secure the entire transmission member 53, the position of the entire transmission member 53 on the frame 4 is adjustable, thereby adapting to a variety of installation environments.

[0039] Furthermore, the mounting groove 41 is an arc-shaped groove, and the surface of the mounting block 42 that abuts against the mounting groove 41 is an arc-shaped surface. The arc-shaped design reduces the friction generated when the mounting block 42 moves in the mounting groove 41.

[0040] In one embodiment, the arrangement height of the first transport line 1 is greater than the arrangement height of the second transport line 2, and the transition plate 3 includes a transition flat plate 31, a transition inclined plate 32 and a transition vertical plate 33. One end of the transition flat plate 31 is fixedly connected to the first transport line 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to one end of the transition inclined plate 32. The other end of the transition inclined plate 32 is fixedly connected to one end of the transition vertical plate 33, and the other end of the transition vertical plate 33 is fixedly connected to the second transport line 2. In the process of moving the strip box from the first transport line 1 to the second transport line 2, it will first move on the transition flat plate 31, and then slide from the transition inclined plate 32 to the second transport line 2. If the layout height of the first transport line 1 is equal to the layout height of the second transport line 2, in the process from the strip box contacting the second transport line 2 to the push plate 51 separating from the strip box, the resultant force acting on the strip box will cause the strip box to deflect on the second transport line 2, thereby affecting the subsequent transportation process. Therefore, the layout height of the first transport line 1 is designed to be greater than the layout height of the second transport line 2. When the strip box falls onto the second transport line 2, the resultant force acting on the strip box will not cause any displacement of the strip box, thereby improving the stability during subsequent transportation.

[0041] In one embodiment, second baffles 7 are provided on both sides of the first transport line 1 and the second transport line 2 to prevent the strip boxes from falling off the transport lines.
