[0040] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a strip box supply and output device, which includes a first conveying unit 100 and a second conveying unit 200 arranged side by side, and a handling unit; a feeding station 110 is provided at one end of the first conveying unit 100, and the feeding station 110 is used to place a box frame 1 for holding empty strip boxes, and a preparation station 120 is provided at the other end of the first conveying unit 100; a carrying station 210 is provided at the same end of the second conveying unit 200, and the carrying station 210 is used to place a box frame 1 of a finished strip box loaded with cigarette packs, and an output station 230 is provided at the other end of the second conveying unit 200; the carrying station 210 is provided with a second conveyor belt assembly 220, and the second conveyor belt assembly 220 is used to convey the box frame 1 of the finished strip box loaded with cigarette packs to the output station 230; the handling unit is used to convey the empty box frame 1 on the feeding station 110 to the carrying station 210.

[0042] By arranging the first conveying unit 100 and the second conveying unit 200 side by side, the supply and output of the strip boxes are made more compact, reducing the handling of the box frame 1 that carries the strip boxes. When in use, the cigarette packing device can grab an empty strip box from the box frame 1 of the feeding station 110 of the first conveying unit 100, and then place the strip box full of cigarette packs in the box frame 1 of the carrying station 210. After the box frame 1 of the carrying station 210 is fully loaded, the box frame 1 of the fully loaded finished strip box can be transported to the output station 230 by the second conveyor belt assembly 220, and then the empty box frame 1 of the feeding station 110 can be transported by the transport unit to the carrying station 210 for continued use. The number of box frames 1 circulating in the above-mentioned use process is relatively small, and there is no need to stock a large number of box frames 1, which effectively reduces production costs.

[0043] Specifically, the first conveying unit 100 is provided with a first conveyor belt assembly 130. The first conveyor belt assembly 130 is used to transport the box frame 1 placed at the preparation station 120 and fully loaded with empty strip boxes to the feeding station 110 after the conveying unit transports the empty box frame 1 to the feeding station 110, for subsequent grabbing of the cigarette packing strip device, thereby improving the supply efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, the first conveyor unit 100 is further provided with a first spare conveyor belt assembly 140, which is arranged at the material preparation station 120 and is spliced ​​with the first conveyor belt assembly 130. By providing the first spare conveyor belt assembly 140, the length of the material preparation station 120 can be extended, so that the material preparation station 120 can accommodate multiple box frames 1 fully loaded with empty boxes at one time, reducing the number of placements and reducing work intensity.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second conveyor belt assembly 220 includes a second driving member 221, a second driving roller, a second driven roller, and a second conveyor belt 222. The second conveyor belt 222 is sleeved around the second driving roller and the second driven roller, and the second driving member 221 is used to drive the second driving roller to rotate. It is worth noting that the structures of the first conveyor belt assembly 130 and the first backup conveyor belt assembly 140 are similar to those of the second conveyor belt assembly 220 and will not be further described here.

[0046] Optionally, a stop bar 240 is provided on both sides of the feeding station 110 and / or the preparation station 120 and / or the loading station 210 and / or the output station 230, and the interval width between the two stop bars 240 is adapted to the width of the box frame 1. By providing the stop bars 240, the box frame 1 can be effectively prevented from falling, ensuring the reliability of the supply and transportation process.

[0047] Preferably, a temporary storage station 150 is provided below the material preparation station 120 and / or the output station 230 for placing the box frame 1. It is understandable that the temporary storage station 150 can be used to place an empty box frame 1 or a box frame 1 fully loaded with empty strip boxes, or in other embodiments, the temporary storage station 150 can also be used to place other tools for the convenience of the operator, which is not specifically limited here.

[0048] As an optional solution for the carton supply and output device, the feeding station 110 and the carrying station 210 can both be raised and lowered at a preset height, which is the thickness of the carton. This arrangement allows the cigarette packing device to operate at the same height when grabbing empty carton boxes and placing finished carton boxes back, which helps to reduce the control complexity of the cigarette packing device. That is, during use, when a layer of empty carton boxes in the box frame 1 of the feeding station 110 is grabbed, the feeding station 110 rises to a preset height; when a layer of finished carton boxes in the box frame 1 of the carrying station 210 is placed, the carrying station 210 descends to a preset height.

[0049] Specifically, the strip packing and output device is provided with a lifting drive assembly 300 and a height detection member 400 that are connected in a one-to-one communication manner. The height of the feeding station 110 or the loading station 210 is detected by the height detection member 400. Since the lifting drive assembly 300 is in communication with the height detection member 400, the lifting drive assembly 300 can drive the feeding station 110 or the loading station 210 to rise and fall accordingly according to the real-time height of the feeding station 110 or the loading station 210 to accommodate the grabbing and placing back of the cigarette packing device. That is, before each action of the lifting drive assembly 300, the height detection member 400 detects the height of the feeding station 110 and the loading station 210 to ensure that the height of the feeding station 110 and the loading station 210 meets the design requirements. Optionally, the height detection member 400 is configured as a laser ranging sensor.

[0050] Furthermore, the lifting drive assembly 300 includes a bottom plate 310, a top plate 320, a lifting drive member 340, and two symmetrically arranged lifting rods 330. Among them, the bottom plate 310 plays a supporting and integrating role; the feeding station 110 or the carrying station 210 is set on the top plate 320; each lifting rod group 330 includes an active rod 331 and a driven rod 332 that are cross-connected and rotatably arranged in the middle. The driven end of the active rod 331 is rotatably connected to the top plate 320, and the fixed end of the driven rod 332 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 310, and the movable end is slidably connected to the top plate 320; the driving member is set on the bottom plate 310 and connected to the active end of the active rod 331. When the driving member drives the active rod 331 When the active end of the active rod 331 moves along the bottom plate 310 close to the fixed end of the driven rod 332, the angle between the active rod 331 and the driven rod 332 changes, and the top plate 320 gradually moves away from the bottom plate 310, that is, the feeding station 110 or the carrying station 210 rises; when the driving member drives the active end of the active rod 331 to move along the bottom plate 310 away from the fixed end of the driven rod 332, the angle between the active rod 331 and the driven rod 332 changes, and the top plate 320 gradually approaches the bottom plate 310, that is, the feeding station 110 or the carrying station 210 descends.

[0051] Optionally, in order to enable the lifting drive member 340 to drive the two active rods 331 at the same time, the lifting drive assembly 300 also includes a transmission shaft 350 and a transmission belt 360. A transmission wheel is provided on the transmission shaft 350, and the transmission wheel is connected to the transmission belt 360 for transmission. The transmission belt 360 is mounted on the driving end of the lifting drive member 340, and the transmission shaft 350 is connected to the active ends of the two active rods 331. When the lifting drive member 340 rotates by driving the transmission belt 360, the transmission wheel rotates synchronously, thereby driving the transmission shaft 350 to move closer to or away from the fixed end of the driven rod 332.

[0052] In other embodiments, the lifting drive assembly 300 is configured as a telescopic rod, and multiple telescopic rods are provided, and the multiple telescopic rods are vertically arranged below the feeding station 110. Specifically, the telescopic rods are configured as electric telescopic rods for easy control; four electric telescopic rods are provided, respectively, at the four corners of the base plate 310, so that the feeding station 110 or the carrying station 210 can be raised and lowered more smoothly.

[0053] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
