Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette cartons loading, in particular to a high-efficiency turnover box used for cigarette cartons loading in tobacco logistics. Background Art

[0002] As market demand continues to change, tobacco logistics has seen a variety of ways to sort, circulate and load cigarettes for delivery, such as: the earlier oblique-insert turnover boxes, later the use of wrapping film (due to the ban on plastics, which prohibited the use of disposable wrapping film), and then progressed to more environmentally friendly, degradable film packaging, and finally returned to recyclable turnover boxes.

[0003] The reusable turnover boxes for cigarette cartons currently available on the market are mainly of the following types:

[0004] 1. Elastic box

[0005] like Figure 6 As shown, the elastic box is provided with two upper and lower flat plates 15 and a cover 17 connected to the front of the lower flat plate 15. The two flat plates 15 are hollow plastic plates. The sides and backs of the two flat plates 15 are connected by elastic material 16. Velcro 18 is provided on the upper flat plate 15 and the cover 17 for use together. When in use, the distance between the two flat plates 15 is adjusted to stretch the elastic material 16 to adjust the size of the space and realize the loading of cigarettes.

[0006] The advantages are: it can be recycled, the space between the two flat plates 15 can be adjusted according to the number of cigarettes loaded, which reduces the used space and has a high loading rate.

[0007] Its shortcomings are:

[0008] a. Difficult to organize. The corresponding automated packing equipment has high requirements. Unpacking of elastic boxes requires automated packing equipment (because elastic boxes are made of two hollow plastic plates and elastic material). When used in tobacco logistics, if the automated packing equipment fails and stops, it will lead to production suspension.

[0009] b. The Velcro 18 and the elastic material 16 of the elastic box are consumables, resulting in a short service life of the elastic box;

[0010] c. There are many manufacturing processes and the cost is high;

[0011] d. Due to elastic shrinkage, it is difficult to manually remove the cigarettes from the elastic box;

[0012] e. The automated packing equipment used with flexible boxes is expensive and complex.

[0013] 2. Square loading box

[0014] like Figure 7 As shown, it is closed by a box cover 19 with Velcro at both ends.

[0015] Its advantages are: it can be recycled and easy to organize, and the automated packing equipment used in conjunction with it has a simple structure and is easy to maintain.

[0016] Its shortcomings are:

[0017] a. The loading rate is low. Even if there is only one or a few cigarette cartons, they still need to occupy the space of a box;

[0018] b. During packing and transportation, the Velcro can easily come undone under pressure, causing the cigarette cartons inside to fall out and scatter, making it difficult to organize the scattered cigarette cartons;

[0019] c. Velcro is a consumable product, resulting in a short service life;

[0020] d. The box cover 19 is integrated with the box body. There is a certain elasticity in the connection between the box cover 19 and the box body. After a period of use, when the adhesion of the Velcro weakens, the box cover 19 will easily break open automatically.

[0021] 3. Oblique plug-in box

[0022] like Figure 8 As shown, the oblique insertion box 20 is an integrated box, which has the advantages of being recyclable, easy to organize, and having a long service life. In addition, the automated box packing equipment used in conjunction with it has a simple structure and is easy to maintain.

[0023] Its shortcomings are:

[0024] a. The loading rate is low. Even if there is only one or a few cigarette cartons, they still need to occupy the space of a box;

[0025] b. It occupies a large area, and the automated equipment for recycling and loading also needs to occupy a large space.

[0026] From the above analysis, it can be seen that the existing turnover boxes for loading cigarette cartons have certain advantages, but also have corresponding major shortcomings. Therefore, the inventors have optimized and designed an innovative and efficient turnover box to meet the demand for cigarette cartons in tobacco logistics. Utility Model Content
