Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette packaging machines, in particular to a simple and adjustable congestion detection device for a folding turret of an FX2 type cigarette packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] In the tobacco packaging industry, the FX2 hard box packaging machine is a highly efficient and automated production equipment that is widely used in the packaging process of various tobacco products. The 703 folding turret of this model is the core component of the packaging process. During one rotation of the 703 folding turret, the small box trademark is folded and formed (see the process flow for details). Figure 1 ), its performance and stability are directly related to the quality of the final product and the efficiency of the production line.

[0003] During production, defective cigarette packs can easily clog the 703 folding turret, especially after the packs, wrapped in liner and frame paper, are fed into the folding turret at station 3 and joined with the label paper. This can cause the cigarettes, liner, and label paper to become jammed together, causing the upper half (from the middle of the pack to the flap, located on the outer circumference of the folding turret) or lower half (from the middle to the bottom, located on the inner circumference of the folding turret) of the pack to bulge, or even the entire pack to bulge. Therefore, pack integrity inspection is required at station 4 to prevent defective packs from entering subsequent processes.

[0004] However, in the existing FX2 packaging machine, although the No. 4 station of the 703 folding turret is equipped with a defective cigarette pack detection device, which can to a certain extent identify and prevent damaged cigarette packs from entering subsequent stations, there are still many shortcomings in actual application.

[0005] First, the existing mold box inspection device has a limited and non-adjustable detection range. It's designed to detect damage and congestion only at the top of the cigarette pack (i.e., where the flap is located). The inspection range doesn't fully cover the entire upper half of the pack, and the lower half isn't inspected, leaving damage, congestion, and bulges in these areas undetected. This results in damaged packs going undetected during production, leading to the bottom of the pack bulging or popping out of the folding turret mold box, causing blockages in subsequent processes and leading to a series of equipment failures and product quality issues.

[0006] Secondly, due to design flaws in the inspection system, if damaged cigarette packs are not promptly identified and removed, they could enter the gluing channel, causing the flap locator to become stuck, or even knocking the pusher head of the second push belt off, causing the 703 trademark plate at station 1 to become stuck and dislodged, seriously disrupting normal production line operation. More seriously, if the blockage caused by damaged cigarette packs is not cleared in a timely manner, it could damage the entire folding turret, not only increasing repair costs but also significantly reducing production efficiency. Even if the blockage caused by damaged cigarette packs is minor and the machine is not immediately shut down, it could flow into the 753 small pack transparent paper packaging machine, causing packaging failures and the risk of substandard cigarette packs entering the market, resulting in unnecessary financial losses for the company.

[0007] In addition, the coverage of detection devices required for cigarette packages with different production requirements is different, and the equipment may have detection accuracy problems after long-term use. Therefore, it is often necessary to debug and adjust according to actual production.

[0008] In addition, considering the actual application of the production line, the detection device must also avoid problems such as complex design, difficult adjustment, and difficult processing. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a congestion detection device with a simple structure and easy-to-adjust detection range to fully cover all parts of the cigarette package to improve detection accuracy and reliability, and prevent damaged cigarette packages from flowing into subsequent processes. Utility Model Content

[0009] In response to the work needs in the above-mentioned background technology and the problems of limited coverage and insufficient detection accuracy of existing detection devices, this application has been considered and innovated, with the aim of providing a simple and adjustable congestion detection device for the folding turret of the FX2 type cigarette packaging machine, which serves as an important protective device for the folding turret of the cigarette packaging machine. At the same time, it has a simple structure and does not interfere with other operating mechanisms of the equipment.

[0010] In order to solve the above problems and achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0011] A simple and adjustable congestion detection device for a folding turret of a cigarette packaging machine includes a control alarm system and further includes:

[0012] A machine base (1), wherein the machine base (1) is detachably connected to the No. 4 station of the folding turret of the packaging machine;

[0013] A connecting shaft (2), wherein the connecting shaft (2) is detachably connected to the machine base (1);

[0014] A detection guide rail mechanism (3), wherein the detection guide rail mechanism (3) is detachably connected to the connecting shaft (2) and is rotatable on the connecting shaft (2);

[0015] A touch rod mechanism (4), wherein the touch rod mechanism (4) is fixedly connected below the detection guide rail mechanism (3);

[0016] A guide rail congestion detection device (5) is connected to the touch rod mechanism (4), and the guide rail congestion detection device (5) is a proximity switch.

[0017] As a preferred solution of the present utility model, the detection guide rail mechanism (3) includes:

[0018] Detection guide rail arms (31), there are two detection guide rail arms (31), which are detachably connected to both ends of the connecting shaft (2);

[0019] a first detection guide rail (32), the first detection guide rail (32) being arc-shaped, being located below the detection guide rail arm (31), and being connected to the two guide rail arms (31);

[0020] Extension arms (33), there are two extension arms (33), each having a waist-shaped hole (331) and a circular hole at both ends of the extension arm (33), and the extension arm (33) is detachably connected to the detection guide rail arm (31) via a locking bolt (34) passing through the waist-shaped hole (331);

[0021] Locking bolts (34), the locking bolts (34) are two groups of four, respectively used to connect the detection guide rail arm (31) and the extension arm (33), and the extension arm (33) and the connecting column (35);

[0022] Connecting columns (35), there are two connecting columns (35), which are detachably connected to the extension arm (33) via a locking bolt (34) passing through the circular hole of the extension arm (33);

[0023] The second detection guide rail (36) is arc-shaped, located below the connecting column (35), and connected to the two connecting columns (35).

[0024] As a preferred solution of the present utility model, the touch rod mechanism (4) includes:

[0025] A touch rod (41), the touch rod (41) being fixedly connected below one of the detection guide rail arms (31);

[0026] A contact (42) is fixedly connected below the contact rod (41).

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0028] The detection guide rail mechanism (3) of the device can fully cover the congestion detection requirements of cigarette packs in the turret mold box (A), wherein the first detection guide rail (32) is responsible for triggering the congestion detection of the upper half of the cigarette pack (i.e., from the middle of the cigarette pack to the flip cover position), and the second detection guide rail (36) is responsible for triggering the congestion detection of the lower half of the cigarette pack (i.e., from the middle of the cigarette pack to the bottom position).

[0029] By designing the first detection rail (32), the extension arm (33) and the second detection rail (36), the locking bolt (34) on the waist-shaped hole (331) can be loosened to control the extension length of the extension arm (33), thereby controlling the detection range of the entire detection rail mechanism (3). After adjusting to a suitable detection range, the locking bolt (34) is tightened to fix the detection rail mechanism (3). During actual use, the extension length of the extension arm (33) can be continuously adjusted according to production needs and a trial run can be carried out to adjust the detection range of the detection rail mechanism (3) to achieve an ideal detection effect. When a defective cigarette pack passes through the detection guide rail mechanism (3) of station 4 and triggers a jam detection, the defective cigarette pack pushes the first detection guide rail (32) or the second detection guide rail (36) of the detection guide rail mechanism (3) upward, thereby causing the detection guide rail mechanism (3) to be lifted along the connecting shaft (2), and the contact rod mechanism (4) connected thereto is separated from the guide rail jam detection device (5), and the guide rail jam detection device (5) sends a stop signal to the folding turret through the control alarm system to alarm the shutdown.

[0032] 2. The utility model improves the reliability and stability of the equipment: The utility model can accurately sense the congestion of cigarette packs during the transmission process, ensuring the sensitivity and accuracy of the detection device, so as to timely discover and deal with defective cigarette packs, avoiding unnecessary accumulation and shutdown on the production line. This not only reduces the number of manual interventions, but also reduces errors and omissions caused by human factors, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0033] 3. This utility model is easy to maintain and reduces production costs: The design of this utility model fully considers the requirements of simplicity, and its manufacturing costs are effectively controlled. The entire detection device adopts a modular design, and the components including the base, connecting shaft, and detection guide mechanism are all detachable and connectable.
