The lifting machine assembly 1 includes a lifting machine frame 101, a lifting machine bottom plate 102, a reducer 103, a chain 104 and a car 105. The lifting machine frame 101 is fixedly installed along the second direction y. Installed on the ground end, the elevator base plate 102 is fixedly set on the top of the elevator frame 101, the reducer 103 is assembled on the elevator base plate 102, the chain 104 is passed through the reducer 103 and the end of the chain 104 is hoisted with a car 105, and a corridor assembly 2 is also provided between the first lifting mechanism a1 and the second lifting mechanism a2, and the corridor assembly 2 is provided with several sections of redirecting flow channels for transferring cigarette boxes; the cigarette box finished product warehousing logistics conveyor line also includes loading and unloading rollers 3, the loading and unloading rollers 3 are provided at both ends of the flow channel of the corridor assembly 2, and the ends of the loading and unloading rollers 3 are inserted into the elevator frame 101.

[0023] In actual application, the present embodiment is used for the logistics conveying line for the storage of finished cigarette boxes, including a first lifting mechanism a1 for inputting materials and a second lifting mechanism a2 for outputting materials. The first lifting mechanism a1 and the second lifting mechanism a2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the logistics road, and a corridor assembly 2 for transferring materials is erected between the first lifting mechanism a1 and the second lifting mechanism a2. The first lifting mechanism a1 and the second lifting mechanism a2 are both composed of a lifting assembly 1. The elevator frame 101 is fixedly mounted on the ground end, and an elevator base plate 102 is fixedly arranged inside the elevator frame 101, and a reducer 103 and a chain 104 are assembled on the elevator base plate 102. A car 105 is suspended at the bottom of the chain 104. A first turning guide rail 202 is arranged on the corridor 201 along the first direction x, and a second turning guide rail 205 is arranged on the corridor 201 along the third direction z. The first transfer vehicle 203 and the second transfer vehicle 206 slide respectively. It is assembled on the first turning guide rail 202 and the second turning guide rail 205, so that when the car 105 in the first lifting mechanism a1 and the second lifting mechanism a2 is lifted and lowered along the second direction y, when the car 105 moves to the plane of the corridor 201, the conveyor inside the car 105 can be aligned horizontally with the conveyor on the corridor 201, and the conveyor in the car 105 and the conveyor in the corridor 201 are driven by independent electric control units and drive sources. The specific structure of the drive source is not limited here. When the conveyor in the car 105 and the conveyor on the corridor 201 are driven, the horizontal transfer of the cigarette box on the conveyor can be controlled, so that the cigarette box can be transferred to the second lifting mechanism a2 via the first lifting mechanism a1 and the corridor assembly 2, and the cigarette box is transported to several sorting positions through the second lifting mechanism a2, so that the two factory buildings equipped with the first lifting mechanism a1 and the second lifting mechanism a2 are connected through the corridor assembly 2.

[0024] In one case of this embodiment, the cigarette box logistics conveyor line can also combine sensors and PLC application technology to perform real-time detection of the position, posture and count of the cigarette boxes. Through the system's analysis and feedback of the data, it can automatically identify abnormal situations and issue alarm signals, making it convenient for operators to monitor and operate the conveyor line, providing a convenient operation method, and reducing the operator's work difficulty and error rate.

[0025] In one case of this embodiment, a brake is further provided at one end of the reducer 103, and the brake is a ratchet speed limiter. The safety rope of the ratchet speed limiter usually rises and falls with the car. When the lifting speed is too large, the inertia block in the speed limiting device triggers the ratchet due to centrifugal expansion, so that the safety rope is pulled and locked, thereby realizing emergency braking of the car. The specific working principle of the speed limiter is not described in detail here.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, the car 105 can achieve vertical movement of the smoke box along the ground. The main components of the equipment include the hoist frame 101, the car 105, the roller line in the car, power output and transmission devices, sensing facilities, and safety facilities. The hoist frame 101 and the car 105 are both welded and made of square tubes. The power output device is a variable frequency speed motor, and the power transmission component is a dedicated chain.

Other equipment configurations include rolling shutter doors at each entrance and exit, proximity switches at each entrance and exit, limit switches, car speed limiters, anti-fall devices, and equipment maintenance ladders.

[0027] In one case of this embodiment, the workshop steel platform, guardrail and ladder are constructed of columns, main beams, secondary beams and cross bars, and the materials are all plastic-sprayed square tubes. The surface of the steel platform is paved with steel plates, the aisles are made of patterned aluminum plates, the main structure and handrails of the ladder are constructed of plastic-sprayed square tubes, and the pedals are made of patterned aluminum plates. The installation position, height and direction of the ladder must be determined according to the actual needs on site.

[0028] In one case of this embodiment, the roller line in the car, the first transfer car 203, the middle roller 204, the second transfer car 206 and the loading and unloading roller 3 can realize the transportation of the cigarette box along the tangential direction of the cylindrical surface of the roller. The equipment uses a variable frequency speed regulation motor as a driving device, and the torque is transmitted between the rollers through a sprocket chain. The surface of the roller is galvanized, and the side panels of the equipment are made of spray-coated Q235 plates. The equipment is also equipped with two pairs of opposing photoelectric switches for determining the position of the cigarette box, providing a basis for the start and stop control of the roller line.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the corridor assembly 2 includes a corridor 201, a first turning guide rail 202, a first transfer cart 203, a central roller 204, a second turning guide rail 205 and a second transfer cart 206, the corridor 201 is fixedly arranged at the ground end, the corridor 201 is equipped with a first turning guide rail 202 along the first direction x, the first transfer cart 203 is slidably assembled on the first turning guide rail 202, the central roller 204 is fixedly arranged on the corridor 201, the second turning guide rail 205 is assembled on the corridor 201 along the third direction z, the second transfer cart 206 is slidably assembled on the second turning guide rail 205, and one end of the second turning guide rail 205 is aligned with the central roller 204.

[0030] In practical application, both the first transfer vehicle 203 and the second transfer vehicle 206 utilize RGV conveyor trolleys, enabling cigarette boxes to be transported along the first and second turning guide rails 202 and 205. The guide rails are constructed of I-beams made of 45-gauge steel. The RGV conveyor's power output is a variable-frequency motor with a brake. Positioning and guiding the RGV conveyor on the guide rails is accomplished by four sets of guide wheels attached to the trolley's four columns. The roller conveyor on the trolley handles the input and output of cigarette boxes. Other equipment includes two pairs of photoelectric sensors on the roller conveyor, track proximity switches, and limit switches.

[0031] In one case of this embodiment, the bottom plate of the corridor 201 is formed by welding multiple sections of I-beams and square tubes together, and the bottom of the corridor 201 is supported by several I-beams. The foot of the I-beam is provided with a four-way reinforcing rib plate and is consolidated to the foundation by anchor bolts. The I-beams are reinforced by the square tubes and the oblique supports between the nodes. Anti-collision fences are installed around the corridor 201, and the height of the corridor 201 from the ground must have sufficient redundant space to facilitate the travel of ultra-high logistics vehicles.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the finished cigarette box storage logistics conveyor line further includes a feeding assembly 4, which includes a main feeding roller 401, a stacker 402, a clamping mechanism 403, a clamping plate 404, a lifting and transferring roller 405, a chain machine 406 and an auxiliary feeding roller 407. The main feeding roller 401 is arranged on one side of the first lifting mechanism a1 along the first direction x, the stacker 402 is fixedly assembled on the main feeding roller 401, and the clamping mechanism 403 is arranged on the second It is slidingly assembled in the stacker 402 in the direction y, and the clamping mechanism 403 is also movably equipped with a clamping plate 404, the two groups of the lifting and transferring rollers 405 are arranged side by side along the first direction x, and one group of the lifting and transferring rollers 405 is aligned with the main feed roller 401, and a chain machine 406 is arranged inside the lifting and transferring roller 405 along the third direction z, one end of the auxiliary feed roller 407 is connected to the two groups of lifting and transferring rollers 405, and the other end of the auxiliary feed roller 407 is assembled in the first lifting mechanism a1.

[0033] In actual application of this embodiment, the feeding assembly 4 is used for stacking cigarette boxes up and down. The outer frame of the stacker 402 is made of square tube welding and the surface is sprayed with plastic. The clamping action of the clamping mechanism 403 is realized by the extension and contraction of the cylinder on one side of the clamping plate 404. The overall lifting and lowering of the clamping mechanism 403 is driven by a lifting chain, and the lifting chain is driven by the drive motor on the stacker 402. The specific structure of the drive motor is not limited here.

[0034] When the first cigarette box is transported to the side of the stacker 402 by the main feeding roller 401, the first step is to rely on the photoelectric detection arranged in the main feeding roller 401 to complete the cigarette box arrival prompt, and then the clamping mechanism 403 and the clamping plate 404 cooperate to clamp the cigarette box and lift it along the second direction y, while maintaining the clamping state of the current cigarette box. When the second cigarette box is accurately in place, the clamping mechanism 403 controls the clamped cigarette box to drop, so that the first cigarette box is stacked directly above the second cigarette box, and then the main feeding roller 401 The two groups of lifting and transferring rollers 405 are started simultaneously to transport the two cigarette boxes to the auxiliary feeding roller 407. Since the two groups of lifting and transferring rollers 405 are arranged side by side along the first direction x, the chain machine 406 provided in the lifting and transferring roller 405 docked with the main feeding roller 401 can transport the two stacked cigarette boxes to the lifting and transferring roller 405 on the adjacent side, and push the cigarette boxes on the two groups of lifting and transferring rollers 405 to the auxiliary feeding roller 407 at the same time to realize the synchronous transportation of the four cigarette boxes.

[0035] In one case of this embodiment, the lifting and transferring roller 405 is mainly used for conveying cigarette boxes along the axial direction of the roller, so that the cigarette boxes can be conveyed in groups. The equipment consists of a roller line and a chain machine, wherein the chain machine is located below the roller line and can be lifted up and down by a lifting mechanism. When a double-pack cigarette box is conveyed from the stacker to the lifting and transferring roller 405 and accurately positioned, the chain machine under the lifting and transferring roller 405 is lifted by the lifting mechanism. At this time, the upper surface of the chain will be higher than the upper surface of the roller. When the chain machine starts, the double-pack cigarette box will move along the axial direction of the roller and be received by another lifting and transferring roller 405 placed side by side.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the finished cigarette box storage logistics conveyor line also includes a unloading component 5, and the unloading component 5 includes a unloading roller 501 and a baffle 502. Several of the unloading rollers 501 are arranged in the elevator frame 101 at intervals along the second direction y, and several of the unloading rollers 501 are aligned with the car 105, and one end of the unloading roller 501 is provided with a baffle 502 that is movable along the second direction y.

[0037] In actual application of this embodiment, a plurality of the unloading rollers 501 are arranged in the elevator frame 101 at intervals along the second direction y, and can be used to transport the smoke boxes in the car 105 to different floors of the elevator frame 101.
