Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tobacco equipment, in particular to a cigarette dumping mechanism after a cigarette pack is split. Background Art

[0002] During the inspection of finished boxed cigarettes before leaving the factory, it may be found that the plastic foil of the finished boxed cigarettes is wrinkled, dirty, contains tobacco, has irregular edges, and other finished boxed cigarettes (referred to as cigarette packs) that do not meet the factory requirements. However, the cigarette packs contain cigarettes that have passed the previous process inspection. If the cigarette packs that are rejected simply because of poor outer packaging are discarded, the scrap rate will be high and a large amount of various cigarette raw and auxiliary materials will be wasted. Therefore, such cigarette packs need to be unpacked and the cigarettes with intact quality after unpacking need to be collected. Manual work alone cannot meet production needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a cigarette dumping mechanism after the cigarette pack is split, so as to realize the dumping of the cigarettes after the finished boxed cigarettes are unpacked.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0020] As attached Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a cigarette dumping mechanism after a cigarette pack is split, comprising a main plate 11 and two sets of cigarette dumping assemblies. Above the main plate 11 is a cigarette pack conveying and splitting space, and below the main plate 11 is a cigarette selection space. After a cigarette pack is split in half into half packs, the cigarette dumping assemblies dump the cigarettes in the half packs so that the cigarettes can enter the cigarette selection space below for classification and screening.

[0021] Two cigarette drop holes are symmetrically provided on the main platform 11, and a tobacco receiving hopper 14 is fixed below the cigarette drop holes. The two cigarette dumping assemblies correspond to the split half cigarette packs respectively, and the cigarette dumping assemblies include a transfer flipping member 52 and a cigarette dumping guide 53;

[0022] The transfer turning member 52 includes a tilting and turning support 521 and a rotating arm 522 that can rotate around the tilting and turning support 521. A tilting and turning platform 523 for supporting a half cigarette pack is fixed to one end of the rotating arm 522. When tilting a cigarette, the tilting and turning platform 523 rotates 180 degrees so that the split surface of the cigarette pack faces downward, and the cigarette automatically rolls into the receiving pipe 14 through the cigarette drop hole.

[0023] The cigarette guide 53 is a vertical guide plate, which can prevent cigarettes from falling off during the turning process of the tilting and turning platform 523.

[0024] In this embodiment, the transfer flipping member 52 uses a swing cylinder to realize the flipping action, the tilting and flipping support 521 is the support of the swing cylinder, and the rotating rod of the rotating arm 522 is the swing rod of the swing cylinder.

[0025] As one of the embodiments of the present invention, the cigarette tipping assembly also includes a horizontal push member 51, which is installed on the main table 11 and can drive the transfer flip member 52 to move horizontally in the left and right directions. The horizontal push member 51 can adopt a transmission form such as a rodless cylinder, a sliding cylinder or a screw transmission mechanism. The cigarette tipping guide 53 is also connected to a lifting mechanism 54. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 54 adopts a cylinder. When the cigarettes have finished rolling down, the lifting mechanism 54 lifts the cigarette tipping guide 53, and the horizontal push member 51 pushes the transfer flip member 52 to move horizontally and release the emptied half-cigarette pack carton. The tipped cigarettes and the half-cigarette pack carton can be collected separately.

[0026] As one of the embodiments of the present utility model, the tipping and turning platform 523 is an L-shaped structure. A negative pressure hole connected to an air source is provided in the tipping and turning platform 523. The tipping and turning platform 523 maintains a negative pressure adsorption state during the turning process. After the push member 51 pushes the transfer turning member 52 to move horizontally, the tipping and turning platform 523 releases the negative pressure adsorption state, and the emptied half-cigarette pack carton falls into the waste cigarette box collection area.

[0027] As one embodiment of the present invention, guide rods 55 are provided on both sides of the lifting mechanism 54 for guiding the lifting process of the inverted cigarette guide 53.

[0028] As one of the embodiments of the present invention, it also includes a half-cigarette pack turning part 44, which includes a residual smoke stripping turning support 441 fixed to the main table 11 and a residual smoke stripping turning table 442 that can rotate around the residual smoke stripping turning support 441. The residual smoke stripping turning table 442 receives the split half cigarette pack and rotates 90° so that the split surface of the cigarette pack faces upward to facilitate residual smoke stripping. The residual smoke stripping can be adsorbed by a negative pressure adsorption tube. When the split surface of the cigarette pack faces upward, the tilting turning table 523 and the residual smoke stripping turning table 442 jointly support the half cigarette pack. After the residual smoke is sucked away by the negative pressure adsorption tube, the residual smoke stripping turning table 442 is reset, and the tilting turning table 523 is rotated so that the split surface of the cigarette pack faces downward.

[0029] In this embodiment, the half cigarette pack turning member 44 uses a swing cylinder to realize the turning action, the residual cigarette stripping and turning support 441 is the support of the swing cylinder, and the rotating rod of the residual cigarette stripping and turning platform 442 is the swing rod of the swing cylinder.

[0030] As one of the embodiments of the present invention, the residual smoke stripping and turning table 442 is an L-shaped structure, and a cigarette pack baffle 443 is adjustably fixed on the residual smoke stripping and turning table 442, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the clamping position according to different cigarette pack sizes and avoid the unsmooth turning of half cigarette packs.

[0031] In other embodiments, the residual smoke stripping and turning table 442 can also absorb half a cigarette pack through negative pressure, which can be achieved by providing a negative pressure hole connected to an air source in the residual smoke stripping and turning table 442.

[0032] During use of the present invention, after the damaged residual cigarettes in the current process are stripped off, the half-pack of cigarettes is flipped over by the tipping and turning platform 523 so that the split surface of the pack faces downward. The cigarettes automatically roll down under their own weight and can then enter the subsequent classification and screening process. During the tipping process, after the cigarettes roll down, if a tipping guide 53 is provided, the tipping guide 53 is lifted by the lifting mechanism 54. If a tipping guide 53 is not provided, the transfer flipping member 52 is pushed horizontally by the push member 51, and then the half-empty cigarette carton is released.

[0033] The above embodiments do not impose any formal restrictions on the shape, material, structure, etc. of the utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the utility model fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the utility model.

[0034] It should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
