Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cigarette pack transportation, in particular to a turnover mechanism with a counting function used in a cigarette mid-pack packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] The automatic cigarette production line is specially designed to achieve batch production of cigarettes and improve the mechanization and automation level of production. Its production has greatly improved the automation level of cigarette production enterprises. When producing cigarettes, the cigarettes will be packaged. After the production, the middle packs will be transported to the designated location for the next processing step. Before that, the middle packs of cigarettes will be counted to facilitate the statistics of the production output of the middle packs.

[0003] However, when counting cigarette packs, it is usually done manually. During long hours, the counters may miss a number, and they need to count repeatedly to ensure that there are no omissions. This work is boring, time-consuming, and inefficient.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a turnover mechanism with a counting function for a cigarette mid-pack packaging machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a flipping mechanism with a counting function for a cigarette mid-pack packaging machine, wherein one side of the cigarette pack is attached to the short side of the L-shaped opening of a flipping disk during the conveying process. When the flipping disk flips, the long side of the L-shaped opening drives the cigarette pack to flip, and a smooth 90-degree flip is implemented. After the cigarette pack is flipped, it can fall on the table of the next process. The two flipping disks slide on the electric shaft through a sliding ring, and there is a certain damping between the sliding ring and the electric shaft. The spacing between the two flipping disks can be freely adjusted to adapt to the flipping operation of cigarette packs of different specifications. At the same time, the travel switch counter and its electronic components generate changes in electrical signals, and the travel switch counter and its electronic components count the cigarette packs. No manual counting is required, thereby preventing errors and omissions in cigarette pack statistics.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A flipping mechanism with a counting function for a cigarette middle packing machine comprises a frame, the right end of the frame being rotatably connected to an electric shaft, the middle portion of the electric shaft being slidably connected to a pair of equidistantly arranged flipping assemblies; the flipping assemblies comprising a sliding ring, the sliding ring being sleeved on the middle portion of the electric shaft, the sliding ring being slidably connected to the electric shaft, the middle portion of the sliding ring being fixedly connected to a flipping disk, the middle portion of the flipping disk being provided with three L-shaped openings; the front end of the frame being fixedly connected to a travel switch counter and its electronic components.

[0008] Furthermore, a motorized roller is provided at the top of the frame and on the left side of the motorized shaft, and the motorized roller is adapted to the flip assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing frame is installed on the right side of the electric roller and inside the flip assembly. The fixing frame is located inside the frame and is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a roller is rotatably connected to the interior of the fixing frame, and the roller is adapted to the electric roller.

[0011] Furthermore, a transmission belt is sleeved on the right side of the electric roller, and an end of the transmission belt away from the electric roller is sleeved on the middle part of the roller, and the transmission belt is adapted to the flip assembly.

[0012] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. During the conveying process, one side of a cigarette pack is placed against the short side of the L-shaped opening of the turning plate. When the turning plate turns, the long side of the L-shaped opening drives the cigarette pack to turn over smoothly through 90 degrees. After the cigarette pack is turned over, it can fall onto the table of the next process. The two turning plates slide on the electric shaft through a sliding ring. The sliding ring and the electric shaft have a certain damping property. The spacing between the two turning plates can be freely adjusted to accommodate the turning operation of cigarette packs of different specifications. At the same time, the limit switch counter and its electronic components generate electrical signals to count the cigarette packs, eliminating the need for manual counting and preventing errors and omissions in cigarette pack counting.

[0014] 2. The conveyor belt is driven by an electric roller to move, and then the cigarette pack is transported. When the cigarette pack is transported to the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt continues to transport the cigarette pack, and the cigarette pack is transported to the turning plate until the cigarette pack is turned over by the turning plate. The purpose of continuous transportation and turning can be achieved without stopping the machine for turning. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Specific implementation process: First, according to the specifications of the cigarette packs, the distance between the two flipping components 6 on the electric shaft 5 is adjusted to facilitate the transportation of cigarette packs of different specifications. The position of the sliding ring 601 on the electric shaft 5 can be adjusted to adapt to the flipping operation of cigarette packs of different sizes. Since the sliding ring 601 and the electric shaft 5 have a certain damping property, they can remain relatively stable after adjusting the position. Then, the whole device is started, and the electric roller 9 starts to run. The electric roller 9 rotates to drive the conveyor belt 3 to move. At the same time, the electric roller 9 conveys the cigarette pack above it. When the cigarette pack is conveyed to the conveyor belt 3, the conveyor belt 3 continues to convey the cigarette pack until the cigarette pack is conveyed to the flip disk 602. Then, one side of the cigarette pack is attached to the short side of the L-shaped opening of the flip disk 602. At this time, the cigarette pack passes through the travel switch counter and its electronic Component 2, the travel switch counter and the travel switch in its electronic component 2 trigger the travel switch counter and the counter of its electronic component 2, and the counter counts to achieve the purpose of counting the cigarette packs. At the same time, the electric shaft 5 starts, and the electric shaft 5 drives the flipping assembly 6 to flip. At this time, the long side of the L-shaped opening drives the cigarette pack to flip, achieving a smooth 90-degree flip. After the cigarette pack is flipped, it can fall on the table of the next process. In this way, the flipping and counting operations of the cigarette pack are completed at the same time. There is no need for manual counting, which effectively avoids possible errors and omissions in the statistics of cigarette packs, and improves work efficiency and statistical accuracy. During the whole process, the roller 8 rotates in the fixed frame 7 and is adapted to the electric roller 9 to assist the stable operation of the conveyor belt 3 to ensure the smooth transportation and flipping of the cigarette packs. The overall equipment transports the cigarette packs from left to right to achieve the purpose of rapid counting.
