Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model is applicable to mechanical equipment in the fields of food, medicine and tobacco, and is particularly applicable to tobacco packaging equipment, to maintain the stability of conveying strip paper and label paper in narrow conveying channels, and to reduce product quality defects. Background Art

[0002] When using the tobacco packaging equipment carton packaging machine, during the product packaging and conveying process, the carton label paper is conveyed vertically downward by the carton glue roller 1 and the first carton conveying roller 2 and the second carton conveying roller 4 close to the carton baffle 5, merged with the two-five flat pack double-stacked cigarette pack 7 and pushed into the carton through the push rod 10, and wrapped by the carton to form cigarette strips. In the actual production process, due to long-term stacking and squeezing of the carton label paper during storage, the carton label paper itself will be deformed, causing it to bend inward. A single deformed carton label paper cannot be conveyed close to the carton baffle 5 during the vertical downward conveying process, and will interfere with the cigarette strip folding channel 8, the cigarette strip push rod cover plate 9, the machine base 11 and other positions, causing the carton label paper to be not conveyed into place and offset, resulting in poor cigarette wrapping, and even causing cigarette clamping and damage to the cigarette strips, seriously affecting product quality (such as Figure 1 (As shown). Cigarettes are frequently caught in the passage, causing machine downtime. When operators attempt to remove products during this downtime, the narrow, often closed, passage 8 for conveying and folding cigarette packs is inconvenient, leading to significant time delays. Furthermore, the removed cigarette packs and cigarette rods are damaged, resulting in waste and a significant waste of raw and auxiliary materials.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of strip box conveying stabilization device to stabilize the strip boxes conveyed vertically downward and minimize the deformation of the strip boxes, so that the strip boxes can be closely attached to the strip box baffle 5 and conveyed downward stably without deviation, thereby reducing the number and downtime of cigarette clamping caused by poor strip box conveying, and reducing the consumption of raw and auxiliary materials while ensuring product quality.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model proposes a positive pressure pipe that simultaneously blows air from both ends of the packaging machine's air source. This combined airflow forces the label paper to adhere closely to the carton baffle and conveyor channel, guiding the carton label paper in a stable vertical downward conveyance until it reaches a designated position where it meets the 25-pack cigarette pack, thereby stably wrapping the cigarette pack and reducing the occurrence of defective products. In other words, the positive pressure airflow returns the carton label paper from a deformed position 6 to its normal position 3.

[0006] The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0007] The first aspect of the present invention provides a strip box conveying stabilization device, which includes a packaging machine controller 15, a two-position two-way solenoid valve 12, a throttle valve 13 and a positive pressure air pipe 14, wherein the packaging machine controller 15 is connected to the positive pressure air pipe 14 through the two-position two-way solenoid valve 12, and the throttle valve 13 is provided between the two-position two-way solenoid valve 12 and the positive pressure air pipe 14;

[0008] The strip box conveying stabilization device is connected to (used in conjunction with) a strip box packaging machine of a tobacco packaging equipment. The strip box packaging machine of the tobacco packaging equipment includes a machine base 11 and a tobacco rod push rod cover plate 9. The positive pressure air pipe 14 is fixed on the tobacco rod push rod cover plate 9 of the machine base 11.

[0009] Preferably, the positive pressure air pipe 14 includes one or more air outlets, preferably two.

[0010] Preferably, the positive pressure air of the positive pressure air pipe 14 is blown out intermittently, and when the equipment is shut down, the packaging machine controller 15 controls the two-position two-way solenoid valve 12 to close its positive pressure air.

[0011] After the machine is turned on, when the bottom end of the carton paper is about to contact the cigarette push rod cover 9, the packaging machine controller 15 controls the two-position two-way solenoid valve 12 to open the positive pressure air in the positive pressure air pipe 14. After the bottom end of the carton paper passes over the cigarette push rod cover 9, the packaging machine controller 15 controls the two-position two-way solenoid valve 12 to close the positive pressure air in the positive pressure air pipe 14, waiting for the next time the carton paper is about to contact the cigarette push rod cover 9. Therefore, the positive pressure air in the positive pressure air pipe 14 is open for a very short time, and the amount of positive pressure air used is very small.

[0012] Preferably, the packaging machine controller 15 controls the timing of the two-position two-way solenoid valve 12, which is calculated jointly by the internal operating angle of the equipment and whether there is box paper suction. The packaging machine controller is directly used as the controller of the two-position two-way solenoid valve 12, without the need to separately add the required hardware equipment for control.

[0013] Preferably, when the two-position two-way solenoid valve 12, the throttle valve 13 and the positive pressure air pipe 14 are damaged, they can be replaced separately, which reduces costs and facilitates maintenance.

[0014] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for stabilizing the conveying of cigarette strips, using the cigarette strip conveying stabilization device described in the first aspect of the present invention, which includes: giving a signal through the packaging machine controller 15, controlling the two-position two-way solenoid valve 12 to control the packaging machine air source to give a positive pressure airflow, the throttle valve 13 adjusts the amount of positive pressure airflow, and blows air toward the cigarette strip trademark paper through the positive pressure air pipe 14 fixed on the cigarette strip push rod cover plate 9.

[0015] Preferably, the tobacco packaging equipment carton packaging machine further includes a carton gluing roller 1, a first carton conveying roller 2, a second carton conveying roller 4, a carton baffle 5, a cigarette rod folding channel 8 and a cigarette pack push rod 10;

[0016] When the strip box trademark paper is deformed and is in the deformation position 6 and is transported downward in the conveying channel, under the action of the airflow blown out by the positive pressure air pipe 14, the strip box trademark paper will be close to the strip box baffle 5 and the cigarette rod folding channel 8, and the strip box trademark paper is transported vertically downward in the conveying mode of the normal position 3, and reaches the designated position to merge with the 25-flat double-stacked cigarette pack 7 pushed by the cigarette pack push rod 10, so as to reduce the quality risks caused by the inadequate delivery of the strip box trademark paper.

[0017] Preferably, the positive pressure air pipe 14 has two air outlets, and the positive pressure air pipe 14 blows air toward the strip box trademark paper from both sides at the same time. Under the action of the airflow on both sides blown out by the positive pressure air pipe 14, the strip box trademark paper will be close to the strip box baffle 5 and the cigarette rod folding channel 8.

[0018] Specifically, the method of using the box conveying stabilization device of the present invention is as follows:

[0019] When using this device, air is supplied through the packaging machine's air source, and the packaging machine controller provides a signal, connecting the positive pressure air pipe to blow air to the designated position, so that the strip box label paper is close to the label paper folding channel and reaches the designated position without deviation, thereby achieving stable transportation of the strip box label paper.

[0020] By using this device, the frequency of equipment downtime is reduced, cigarette jams caused by improper delivery of strip label paper are avoided, the production of defective products is greatly reduced, the amount of waste is reduced, the workload of operators is reduced, time is saved and efficiency is created, quality risks are avoided, and product quality is guaranteed.

[0022] 1. This device is suitable for situations where paper needs to be transported stably in narrow conveying channels;

[0023] 2. The device has a simple structure, low cost and is applicable to a wide range of occasions;

[0025] 4. The use of this device reduces the frequency of downtime caused by cigarette jamming, shortens downtime, saves time and creates benefits;

[0026] 5. The device is safe and convenient to operate, eliminating quality risks caused by poor box conveying. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
