Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette carton sorting machines, in particular to a vertical cigarette carton sorting machine for assisting in cigarette carton sorting. Background Art
[0002] The cigarette carton sorting machine is currently a popular cigarette carton sorting equipment in China. In commercial tobacco distribution centers, cigarette cars of different specifications are cached in the various cigarette sorting channels of the cigarette carton sorting machine. Cigarette distributors operate the cigarette carton sorting machine to take out cigarette cars of different specifications and quantities from the various cigarette sorting channels for distribution according to different customer needs.
[0003] Existing cigarette sorting machines are mainly vertical structures. For example, the authorization announcement number CN109794415B discloses an automatically adjustable vertical cigarette sorting machine, which is provided with multiple vertical sorting channels in the machine box. By adjusting the distance between the left baffle and the right baffle of the vertical sorting channel, the technical requirements of sorting cigarettes of different specifications and sizes can be met. A cigarette supporting plate is provided at the bottom of the vertical sorting channel, and a horizontally sliding cigarette pushing block is provided on the cigarette supporting plate. The lower end of the cigarette pushing block is connected by a sprocket drive, and the sprocket drives the cigarette pushing block to move back and forth to perform the cigarette replenishing action, thereby realizing the function of sorting and replenishing cigarettes. However, the vertical structure of the cigarette sorting machine is not suitable for the vertical structure of the cigarette sorting machine. During the use of the sorting machine, the cigarette strips need to be stacked in multiple layers in the vertical sorting channel. After the cigarette pushing block pushes the bottom cigarette strips out of the vertical sorting channel, the cigarette strips stacked in the vertical sorting channel will naturally fall down under the action of gravity. Since the cigarette strips are relatively light and the outer packaging is covered with plastic film, the friction between them is relatively low. During the falling process, the cigarette strips stacked high in the vertical sorting channel are affected by the falling swinging force and are easy to slide out of the vertical sorting channel, resulting in the cigarette strips being not straight at the entrance of the vertical sorting channel. Therefore, manual assistance is often required for sorting. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, a brief introduction will be given below to the drawings required for use in the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5The embodiment of the present invention provides a vertical cigarette sorting machine for assisting in cigarette sorting, comprising a cigarette sorting machine body 10, on which a plurality of vertical cigarette sorting channels 11 are arranged in parallel, the cigarette sorting channels 11 being connected at both ends and used for placing cigarettes to be sorted, and a pushing mechanism 20 for pushing cigarettes is arranged at the bottom of the cigarette sorting channels 11, and the pushing mechanism 20 is used to push the cigarettes in each cigarette sorting channel 11 out to assist in sorting the cigarettes, and each of the cigarette sorting channels 11 is respectively provided with a push mechanism 20 on either side of the input port thereof. An elastic stopper 30 is provided. The stopper 30 is a thin rubber or plastic plate, which is vertically arranged at the edge of the input port of each cigarette sorting channel 11. The side of one side of the stopper 30 is fixed to the outer edge of the cigarette sorting channel 11 by a fixed pressure strip 32 or a bolt. The side of the other side of the stopper 30 is a free edge. The free edge extends laterally toward the inner side of the edge of the input port of the corresponding cigarette sorting channel 11 to block the edge of the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11 and is used to sort the cigarettes entering the cigarette sorting channel 11. The stopper 30 prevents the cigarettes from sliding out of the cigarette sorting channel 11. The free edge of the stopper 30 can be arbitrarily bent and deformed toward the inside or outside of the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11. When the operator adds cigarettes to the cigarette sorting channel 11, the end of the cigarette is used to squeeze the stopper 30. Under the squeezing force of the cigarette, the stopper 30 is adaptively bent toward the inside of the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11 to allow the cigarettes to enter the cigarette sorting channel 11. After the cigarettes enter the cigarette sorting channel 11, the stopper 30 is no longer subject to the squeezing force of the cigarettes. When the cigarette sorting work is completed and the remaining cigarettes are counted or cleaned up, the operator can manually reach into the cigarette sorting channel 11 to grab the cigarettes and pull them out, and use the cigarettes to squeeze the stopper 30 again, so that the stopper 30 is adaptively bent toward the outside of the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11, so that the cigarettes can be taken out of the cigarette sorting channel 11.
[0025] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the bending of the stop piece 30 and reduce the resistance of cigarettes entering and exiting the cigarette sorting channel 11, each stop piece 30 is sheared with a notch 31 on the side extending laterally toward the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11. The notches 31 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the cigarette sorting channel 11 to form a plurality of longitudinally arranged small stop pieces at the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11. Each small stop piece can be arbitrarily bent and deformed toward the inside or outside of the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11 to facilitate the insertion or removal of cigarettes.
[0026] Please continue to see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5In the above embodiment, the stopper 30 can be relatively arranged on both sides of the input port of each cigarette sorting channel 11, extending along the height direction of the cigarette sorting channel 11, and the side edges of one side of the stopper 30 are fixed to the outer edge of the cigarette sorting channel 11 by fixing strips 32 or bolts, and the side edges of the other side of the stopper 30 are relatively extended in the direction of the inner side of the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11, respectively blocking the edge of the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11, and leaving a predetermined distance between the two relatively extended side edges. The distance is smaller than the width of the cigarette. When the cigarette enters the cigarette sorting channel 11, the stop pieces 30 on both sides can bend adaptively toward the inner side of the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11 at the same time to allow the cigarette to enter the cigarette sorting channel 11. After the cigarette completely enters the cigarette sorting channel 11, the stop pieces 30 on both sides of the cigarette sorting channel 11 will adaptively rebound and reset, blocking the edge of the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11 again, and at the same time playing a stopping role for the cigarette entering the cigarette sorting channel 11, preventing the cigarette from slipping out of the cigarette sorting channel 11.
[0027] Please see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6Furthermore, a baffle 40 is vertically provided at the other end of each of the cigarette sorting channels 11 away from the input port. The baffle 40 is vertically installed at the end of the cigarette sorting channel 11 through a fixing frame 44 and a fixing bolt 45, and is opposite to the input port of the cigarette sorting channel 11, and is used to stop and limit the cigarettes. The lower end of the baffle 40 does not contact the bottom of the cigarette sorting channel 11, and a preset distance is left between them to form an output port for the cigarettes. An adjustment plate 41 is vertically provided at the lower end of each baffle 40, and the adjustment plate 41 can move up and down along the baffle 40 to adjust the size of the output port. Specifically, an adjusting bolt 42 is provided on the outer side wall of the lower end of each baffle 40, and the adjusting plate 41 is provided on the outer side wall of the lower end of the baffle 40. An adjusting hole 43 for the adjusting bolt 42 to pass through is provided on the adjusting plate 41. The adjusting hole 43 is a vertically opened strip hole. After the adjusting bolt 42 passes through the adjusting hole 43, the adjusting plate 41 is vertically clamped and fixed on the baffle 40, and can be adaptively adjusted according to the height of the cigarette. When adjusting, loosen the adjusting bolt 42, and the adjusting plate 41 can move up and down along the adjusting bolt 42 to adjust the height of the output port. The size can be adjusted. The adjusting plate 41 is a thin rubber or plastic plate with a free lower end, which blocks the output port and restricts the cigarettes in the cigarette sorting channel 11 to prevent the cigarettes from sliding out of the output port when the cigarette sorting machine body 10 stops sorting. During sorting, when the cigarettes are pushed toward the output port by the pushing mechanism 20, the adjusting plate 41 is squeezed by the cigarettes and can adaptively bend outward to allow the cigarettes to pass through. The flexibility of the adjusting plate 41 protects the cigarettes and prevents them from being squeezed and damaged during the output process.
[0028] In order to facilitate workers to put cigarettes into each cigarette sorting channel 11, a support platform 12 is arranged parallel to the outside of the cigarette sorting channel 11 input port of the cigarette sorting machine body 10, and the support platform 12 is close to the bottom of the cigarette sorting channel 11.
[0029] please Figure 4 In the above embodiment, the pushing mechanism 20 is a pneumatic telescopic mechanism, including multiple telescopic cylinders 21 and push plates 22. The push plates 22 are movably arranged at the bottom of each cigarette sorting channel 11. The telescopic cylinder 21 is horizontally arranged at the lower end of the support platform 12, and the telescopic arm of the telescopic cylinder 21 is facing the input port of each cigarette sorting channel 11. The telescopic arm of the telescopic cylinder 21 is correspondingly connected to the push plate 22 in each cigarette sorting channel 11. The telescopic cylinder 21 is powered by an external air compressor and controlled by an electromagnetic valve to push each push plate 22 to reciprocate toward the output port of the cigarette sorting channel 11 to push out the cigarettes in each cigarette sorting channel 11.
[0030] The vertical cigarette sorting machine provides an elastic stopper 30 at the input port of each cigarette sorting channel 11 to stop the cigarettes entering the cigarette sorting channel 11, preventing the cigarettes from sliding out of the cigarette sorting channel 11 during the sorting process. The stopper 30 is flexible and deformable, which facilitates the insertion and removal of cigarettes, avoids the trouble of manual sorting, and improves work efficiency.
[0031] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is certainly not intended to limit the scope of the rights of the present invention. A person skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiment and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
