[0027] This embodiment provides an adjustment tooling, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art of positioning the guide rails by cigarette packs, which has poor positioning accuracy and affects product quality. The two guide rails are calibrated by the adjustment tooling, and the guide rails are accurately positioned, which is conducive to ensuring product processing quality and equipment working efficiency.

[0028] See also Figure 1 The adjustment tooling 100 includes a base 110, a screw rod 120 and an adjustment block 130. The screw rod 120 can be rotatably mounted on the base 110, and the screw rod 120 extends along the first direction. The base 110 is also provided with two symmetrically arranged limiting grooves 113 both extending along the first direction. The outer sides of the two limiting grooves 113 respectively penetrate the outer side walls of the corresponding base 110. There are two adjustment blocks 130. The two adjustment blocks 130 are respectively screwed at both ends of the screw rod 120 and are respectively limited in the corresponding limiting grooves 113. By screwing the screw rod 120, the two adjustment blocks 130 can approach or move away from each other along the limiting grooves 113.

[0029] The above-mentioned adjustment tool 100 is provided with a screw rod 120 and an adjustment block 130. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two guide rails 200, the screw rod 120 is screwed to first adjust the distance between the two adjustment blocks 130 to the required value, and then the two guide rails 200 are respectively pressed against the outer sides of the two adjustment blocks 130 to complete the positioning of the two guide rails 200. After the positioning is completed, the two guide rails 200 are respectively fixed to the corresponding external components. Compared with the existing technology of calibrating the distance between the guide rails 200 through the cigarette pack 400, the labor intensity is low and the positioning accuracy is effectively improved.

[0030] Preferably, two spaced-apart stoppers 140 are protruded from the base 110. The screw rod 120 includes a screw portion 121 and a connecting rod portion 122. The screw portion 121 is protruded from the outer circumference of the middle portion of the connecting rod portion 122. The connecting rod portion 122 is movably inserted through the two stoppers 140, with the screw portion 121 being confined between the two stoppers 140. The two stoppers 140 limit the connecting rod portion 122, preventing the screw rod 120 from moving radially. Simultaneously, the two stoppers 140 also prevent the screw portion 121 from moving axially. During actual processing, an opening may be provided on the top surface of the stopper 140 to facilitate removal of the connecting rod portion 122.

[0031] Furthermore, the connecting rod 122 is provided with two threaded portions 1221 and two smooth portions 1222. The two threaded portions 1221 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting rod 122, and the two smooth portions 1222 are respectively provided on both sides of the screwing portion 121, and are respectively located between the screwing portion 121 and the corresponding threaded portion 1221. The provision of the smooth portions 1222 can effectively reduce the friction between the screw rod 120 and the limit block 140, thereby improving the smoothness of the screwing.

[0032] In this embodiment, the screwing portion 121 is in a polygonal prism shape. This configuration facilitates the screwing portion 121 to match an external screwing member. For example, when a wrench is used as the screwing member, the polygonal prism shape is more convenient for engaging with the wrench.

[0033] Optionally, the adjustment block 130 is locked to the base 110 via a locking member. After the distance between the two adjustment blocks 130 is adjusted to the desired value, the locking member is used to lock the adjustment block 130 to the base 110 to prevent the adjustment block 130 from shifting when the guide rail 200 abuts against the outside of the adjustment block 130, thereby effectively improving the calibration accuracy of the guide rail 200 position.

[0034] Specifically, the adjustment block 130 is provided with an elongated hole 131, and the locking member is provided as a first threaded member 150. The first threaded member 150 is passed through the elongated hole 131 and screwed into the threaded hole of the base 110, so that the adjustment block 130 is locked to the base 110. This arrangement is easy to operate and quick to disassemble.

[0035] To cushion the impact of a collision and improve reliability, the first threaded member 150 comprises a nut and a screw connected to each other. The screw passes through the elongated hole 131 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the base 110. The nut is pressed against the adjustment block 130, and a washer 160 is provided between the nut and the adjustment block 130. The provision of the washer 160 effectively mitigates the significant impact between the nut and the adjustment block 130 when the screw moves downward to its lowest point.

[0036] See also Figure 2 This embodiment also provides a packaging machine, including a mounting base, a guide rail 200 and the above-mentioned adjustment tooling 100, wherein two guide rails 200 are provided, and the two guide rails 200 are spaced apart and detachably mounted on the mounting base, and the mounting base is further provided with a support plate 300 which is parallel to the guide rails 200, and the support plate 300 is located between the two guide rails 200, and the bottom of the base 110 is provided with a first groove 111 which passes through the two opposite side walls, and the extension direction of the first groove 111 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the screw rod 120, and the width of the first groove 111 is the same as the width of the support plate 300.

[0037] When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two guide rails 200, the adjustment tool 100 is slidably engaged with the support plate 300 through the first groove 111. The support plate 300 and the guide rail 200 are parallel to each other to avoid position deviation along the thickness direction of the guide rail 200 when the guide rail 200 is positioned. Then the two guide rails 200 are respectively abutted against the outer sides of the corresponding adjustment blocks 130. Finally, the two guide rails 200 are respectively fixed to the corresponding external components. The guide rails 200 are accurately positioned, which is conducive to ensuring product processing quality and equipment working efficiency.

[0038] Optionally, the packaging machine also includes a conveyor, which is used to transport cigarette packs 400. The conveyor is installed on the mounting base and the conveyor belt 500 of the conveyor is located above the support plate 300. The bottom of the first groove 111 is provided with a second groove 112 for avoiding the conveyor belt 500 to prevent the base 110 from colliding with the conveyor belt 500.

[0039] Preferably, the guide rail 200 is mounted on the mounting base via a second screw member. This arrangement facilitates assembly and disassembly of the guide rail 200.

[0040] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
