Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of tobacco machinery, and in particular to a tobacco packaging machine. Background Art
[0002] In the tobacco production industry, the tobacco rods produced by the packaging machine pass through the elevator to the entrance of the packaging machine, and are then pushed into the vertical channel of the packaging machine from the entrance. The tobacco rods fall freely in the vertical channel of the packaging machine due to gravity, and the clamping mechanism located below the vertical channel clamps the falling tobacco rods in turn, so that the tobacco rods are first accumulated in the vertical channel. Then the clamping mechanism opens, and the tobacco rods accumulated in the vertical channel continue to fall, and move to the horizontal conveying device through the curved channel, and are finally transmitted to the carton filling and sealing machine.
[0003] However, if Figure 1 As shown, due to a failure of the clamping mechanism 5' or a failure of the clamping claws 51' of the clamping mechanism 5', the tobacco rod 100 may be skewed during the falling process, thereby getting stuck in the vertical channel 1' or the curved channel 3' of the packaging machine. The stuck tobacco rod 100 is difficult to remove from the vertical channel 1' and the curved channel 3', and the packaging machine needs to be shut down to deal with the stuck tobacco rod 100. However, a long shutdown will affect the production progress and reduce production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0032] The "up", "down", "left" and "right" in the following text correspond to Figure 2 The up, down, left, and right directions in .
[0033] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a tobacco packing machine. The tobacco packing machine is used to transport tobacco rods. The tobacco packing machine includes: a vertical channel 1, a horizontal conveying device, and a curved channel 3. The vertical channel 1 includes a vertical channel outlet. The vertical channel outlet is located at the bottom end of the vertical channel 1. The horizontal conveying device includes a horizontal conveying device inlet. The curved channel 3 is arranged between the vertical channel outlet and the horizontal conveying device inlet to guide the tobacco rods to move from the vertical channel outlet to the horizontal conveying device inlet along the transport direction. The curved channel 3 includes a curved bottom plate 31, two side baffles 32, and a cover plate 33. The curved bottom plate 31 extends between the vertical channel outlet and the horizontal conveying device inlet along the transport direction. The two side baffles 32 are arranged oppositely and spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction and are connected to the curved bottom plate 31. The cover plate 33 is arranged between the two side baffles 32 and oppositely and spaced apart from the curved bottom plate 31, and is configured to make the curved channel 3 in a hollow state.
[0034] Based on the packing machine provided by the present invention, the cover plate 33 of the curved channel 3 is configured to make the curved channel 3 in a hollow state, which is conducive to the rapid processing of the tobacco rods stuck in the vertical channel 1 or the curved channel 3 of the packing machine, and avoids the stuck tobacco rods blocking other tobacco rods from moving from the vertical channel 1 to the entrance of the horizontal conveying device for a long time, thereby reducing downtime and helping to improve the production efficiency of the packing machine.
[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, along the transport direction, the size of the cover plate 33 is smaller than the size of the upper edge 32a of the side guard 32, so that the curved channel 3 is hollowed out on the side of the cover plate 33 away from the vertical channel outlet along the transport direction. For example, along the transport direction, the size of the cover plate 33 can be one-fifth to one-third of the size of the upper edge 32a of the side guard 32.
[0036] This arrangement has a simple structure, is easy to install and has low cost, and is conducive to flexible setting of the position and size of the cover plate 33, thereby facilitating flexible setting of the hollow position of the curved channel 3, so that the operator can manually or use tools to reach into the lower area of the vertical channel 1 or the curved channel 3 through the hollow position to contact and handle the stuck tobacco rod.
[0037] In some embodiments, the cover plate 33 may include, for example, a hollow opening, so that the curved channel 3 is in a hollow state.
[0038] This arrangement has a simple structure and is conducive to increasing the shielding of the tobacco rod, thereby preventing the tobacco rod from being thrown out from above the curved channel 3.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover plate 33 is connected to the vertical channel 1 .
[0040] This arrangement is beneficial to strengthening the connection strength between the curved channel 3 and the vertical channel 1, and is also beneficial to maintaining the connection position of the curved channel 3 and the vertical channel 1 without deviation, thereby facilitating the stability of the movement process of the tobacco rod from the vertical channel 1 to the curved channel 3.
[0041] In some embodiments, at least one side guard 32 is a stainless steel guard.
[0042] This arrangement is beneficial to enhancing the material strength of the curved channel 3 , and is beneficial to slowing down the deformation of the curved channel 3 during long-term use, thereby helping to extend the service life of the curved channel 3 .
[0043] In some embodiments, along the transport direction, the side baffles 32 and the vertical channel 1 are spaced apart from each other.
[0044] This arrangement ensures that the side of the cover plate 33 close to the vertical channel 1 is not connected to the side panel 32, so that the position of the cover plate 33 that is not connected to the side panel 32 can be embedded in the side panel of the vertical channel 1 connected to the cover plate 33 along the transportation direction, thereby facilitating the installation and positioning of the curved channel 3 and the vertical channel 1.
[0045] In some embodiments, the opposing surfaces of the two side panels 32 are configured as polished surfaces. The opposing surfaces of the curved bottom panel 31 and the cover panel 33 are configured as polished surfaces.
[0046] This arrangement helps to improve the smoothness of the surface of the curved channel 3, thereby helping the tobacco rods to move smoothly along the conveying direction in the curved channel 3, reducing the likelihood of tobacco rods getting stuck in the curved channel 3, and thus helping to improve the transport efficiency of the packing machine.
[0047] In some embodiments, the packing machine further includes a platform 4 and a clamping mechanism 5. The platform 4 is arranged perpendicular to the transport direction and is located between the vertical channel outlet and the curved channel 3 along the transport direction. The clamping mechanism 5 is located above the platform 4 and is fixedly connected to the platform 4. It is configured to clamp or release the tobacco rods in the vertical channel 1.
[0048] The provision of the clamping mechanism 5 facilitates the orderly transportation of tobacco rods from the vertical channel 1 to the curved channel 3 , and helps prevent tobacco rods from directly falling freely from the vertical channel 1 into the curved channel 3 and causing impact on the curved channel 3 .
[0049] In some embodiments, the packing machine further includes a first detection unit. The first detection unit includes a first detection device and a control device. The first detection device is configured to detect whether the tobacco rods accumulated in the vertical channel 1 have reached a full position. The control device is signal-connected to the first detection device and the clamping mechanism 5 and is configured to control the clamping mechanism 5 to release the tobacco rods in the vertical channel 1 if the first detection device detects a positive result.
[0050] The first detection device monitors the accumulation of tobacco rods in vertical channel 1 in real time, eliminating the need for manual intervention and achieving automated monitoring. When the tobacco rods reach a full position, the control device automatically receives a signal and controls the clamping mechanism 5 to release the tobacco rods, further enhancing the level of automation. Through signal communication with the clamping mechanism 5, the control device can rapidly respond to the detection results of the first detection device, facilitating timely release of the tobacco rods by the clamping mechanism 5, thereby ensuring stable and reliable production.
[0051] In some embodiments, the packing machine further includes a second detection unit. The second detection unit includes a second detection device and an alarm device. The second detection device is configured to detect whether the tobacco rod is stuck in the area where the clamping mechanism 5 clamps the tobacco rod within the vertical channel 1 and in the curved channel 3 after the clamping mechanism 5 releases the tobacco rod. The alarm device is coupled to the second detection device and is configured to generate an alarm based on the detection result of the second detection device.
[0052] The second detection device can monitor in real time whether the tobacco rod is stuck in the curved channel 3 after the clamping mechanism 5 is released, which helps improve the transportation stability during the production process and promptly handle the stuck tobacco rod. Once a tobacco rod jam is detected, the alarm device can immediately sound an alarm, allowing the operator to take prompt measures to avoid production interruption, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0053] In some embodiments, the second detection device may be, for example, a camera, a scanner, a photoelectric detector, etc.
[0054] The following combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bag arranging machine according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail.
[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the packing machine includes a vertical channel 1, a clamping mechanism 5, a platform 4, a curved channel 3, a first detection unit, a second detection unit, and a horizontal conveyor. Tobacco rods fall from the vertical channel 1 and are clamped by the clamping mechanism 5, causing them to accumulate within the vertical channel 1. When the first detection unit detects that the tobacco rods have accumulated to the full position, the clamping mechanism 5 releases the tobacco rods, and the tobacco rods move along the conveying direction into the curved channel 3.
[0056] like Figure 3As shown, the curved channel 3 includes a curved bottom plate 31, two side baffles 32 and a cover plate 33. Along the transport direction, the size of the cover plate 33 is smaller than that of the curved bottom plate 31. In this embodiment, the size of the cover plate 33 along the transport direction is 50 mm, and the width of the cover plate 33 is 296 mm. When the second detection unit detects that the tobacco rod is stuck in the curved channel 3, the alarm device sounds an alarm. The packing machine is stopped, and the operator (with bare hands or with the help of tools) reaches into the packing machine through the hollow position under the cover plate 33 to handle the stuck tobacco rod. The packing machine is conducive to shortening the time for troubleshooting and handling, thereby helping to reduce downtime and cost losses caused by production abnormalities.
[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the platform base 4 is arranged perpendicular to the transport direction and is located between the vertical channel outlet and the curved channel 3 along the transport direction. A clamping mechanism 5 is mounted above the platform base 4 and is fixedly connected to the platform base 4. The clamping mechanism 5 includes two clamping jaws 51 and drive motors 52 respectively connected to the two clamping jaws 51. The two clamping jaws 51 and the corresponding drive motors 52 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the vertical channel 1.
[0058] The first detection unit includes a first detection device and a control device. The first detection device includes a proximity switch 61, which can detect whether the tobacco rods accumulated in the vertical channel 1 have reached the full position. The control device is signal-connected to the first detection device and the drive motor 52 of the clamping mechanism 5. When the first detection device detects a positive result, the control device is configured to control the drive motor 52 to drive the corresponding clamping jaw 51 to move away from the vertical channel 1, thereby releasing the tobacco rods in the vertical channel 1 and allowing them to fall into the curved channel 3.
[0059] The upper edge of the cover plate 33 of the curved channel 3 is fixedly connected to the vertical channel 1. The left and right sides of the cover plate 33 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper edges 32a of the two side baffles 32 of the curved channel 3. The side baffles 32 are made of stainless steel, which helps to increase the structural strength of the curved channel 3. The inner surface of the curved channel 3 is polished, which helps to ensure smooth movement of the tobacco rod within the curved channel 3.
[0060] The curved channel 3 further includes a connecting plate 34. The connecting plate 34 is located above the side baffle 32 on the left side of the curved channel 3 and is integrally formed with the side baffle 32. The connecting plate 34 is configured to be fixedly connected to the downwardly extending protrusion 41 of the platform seat 4, thereby facilitating increased connection strength between the curved channel 3 and the platform seat 4 and improving the structural stability of the curved channel 3.
[0061] The second detection unit includes a second detection device and an alarm device. After the clamping jaws 51 of the clamping mechanism 5 release the tobacco rod, the second detection device of the second detection unit, located at the entrance of the horizontal conveyor, detects whether the tobacco rod is stuck in the area where the clamping mechanism 5 holds the tobacco rod in the vertical channel 1 and in the curved channel 3. If the second detection device detects a positive result, the alarm device sounds an alarm, notifying the operator to promptly stop the machine and reach into the curved channel 3 from under the cover plate 33 to remove the stuck tobacco rod.
[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit them. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present disclosure can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents, which should all be included in the scope of the technical solutions claimed for protection in the present disclosure.
