Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a palletizing device, and more particularly to a cigarette palletizing device. Background Technology

[0002] As the domestic market's requirements for cigarette sorting continue to increase, automated sorting and packaging equipment for all specifications of cigarettes has become an important measure for tobacco logistics sorting centers to save packaging costs, reduce expenses, and improve economic and social benefits. Cigarette palletizing is a crucial link between cigarette sorting and packaging equipment, and the requirements for it are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] There are many types of cigarette cartons with various sizes and shapes. Currently, the existing cigarette palletizing equipment on the market is either single-function, only for standard or irregularly shaped cigarettes, or it is inadequate in detection and prone to failure, resulting in low palletizing efficiency.

[0004] To address this, we provide a cigarette palletizing device to meet the palletizing needs of all categories of cigarettes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a cigarette palletizing device.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0015] Advantages of this utility model:

[0016] The detector detects the total number of cigarette cartons conveyed by the front conveyor assembly of the top plate. At this point, the push assembly receives a signal and pushes the cigarette cartons into the lifting frame. The extension length of the push assembly varies depending on the number of cigarette cartons. Then, the conveyor assembly conveys the second layer of cigarette cartons to the front of the top plate. At this time, the lifting frame descends a certain height. Finally, the push assembly pushes the second layer of cigarette cartons into the lifting frame, completing the stacking of the cigarette cartons. This technical solution can be applied to all specifications of cigarette cartons, not just a specific type of standard or irregularly shaped cigarette. The position of the cigarettes pushed into the lifting frame can be flexibly controlled according to the number of cartons entering, ensuring stable and reliable stacking of the cigarettes without damaging the outer packaging.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] This application provides a cigarette palletizing device.

[0025] Example 1, as Figure 1-5 As shown.

[0026] A cigarette packing device includes a base frame 1, on the top of which a conveying assembly 2 is installed to convey cigarette packs. A top plate 3 is installed on the rear side of the conveying assembly 2. The cigarette packs to be stacked are blocked and aligned by the top plate 3 for subsequent stacking.

[0027] The conveying assembly 2 includes a support plate 21, conveyor rollers 22, a conveyor belt 23, and a motor 24. A pair of support plates 21 are mounted on the top surface of the base frame 1. Several conveyor rollers 22 are rotatably connected between the support plates 21. The conveyor belt 23 covers the outer side of each conveyor roller 22. A motor 24 is mounted on the outer side of each support plate 21. The output shaft of the motor 24 extends to the inner side of each support plate 21 and is fixedly connected to any of the outermost conveyor rollers 22. When the motor 24 starts, it drives the connected conveyor rollers 22 to rotate, which in turn moves the conveyor belt 23 covering the outer side of the conveyor rollers 22. Cigarettes placed above the conveyor belt 23 are conveyed to the front of the top plate 3 by the conveyor belt. Due to the limiting effect of the top plate 3, several cigarettes are pushed together on the front side of the top plate 3.

[0028] A photoelectric bracket 4 is installed at the rear end of the conveying assembly 2, and several detectors 41 are installed on the upper part of the photoelectric bracket 4. Five detectors 41 are installed, corresponding to the simultaneous detection of five packs of cigarettes. The photoelectric bracket 4 is located above the top plate 3. The detectors 41 detect the cigarette packs downwards, identifying the inkjet codes or other special identification signals on the cigarette packs. It can detect all specifications of cigarette packs (standard cigarettes, slim cigarettes, short cigarettes, long and medium cigarettes, square cigarettes, etc.). It identifies the type, specifications, shape, and size of the cigarette packs, and then transmits the signal to the controller 72, facilitating subsequent operation of the equipment by the controller 72. Depending on the type of cigarette pack, the ejection assembly extends to different lengths, pushing the cigarette packs into the lifting frame 6.

[0029] A pushing component 5 is installed on one side of the rear end of the conveying component 2, and a lifting frame 6 is installed on the other side of the rear end of the conveying component 2. The pushing component 5 pushes a layer of several strips of cigarettes into the lifting frame 6.

[0030] The pushing assembly 5 includes a push rod bracket 51, a telescopic push rod 52, and a push plate 53. Each pair of support plates 21 has a pushing groove 211 at its rear end. The length of the pushing groove 211 is greater than the length of the cigarette pack, and the front sidewall of the pushing groove 211 is on the same plane as the sidewall of the top plate 3. The push rod bracket 51, which is U-shaped, is installed on the outer side of any of the pushing grooves 211. The telescopic push rod 52 is installed on the inner side of the push rod bracket 51, and the push plate 53 is installed at the output end of the telescopic push rod 52. The telescopic push rod 52 drives the push plate 53 to extend, pushing a layer of cigarette packs on the front side of the top plate 3 into the lifting frame 6.

[0031] The lifting frame 6 includes a cage 61, a linear motor platform 62, a lifting bracket 63, and a lifting base plate 64. A pair of linear motor platforms 62 are installed on one side of the conveying assembly 2. Lifting brackets 63 are mounted on the sliders of the linear motor platforms 62. The lifting base plate 64 is installed at the top of the two lifting brackets 63, and the cage 61 is installed on the top surface of the lifting base plate 64. The side of the cage 61 closest to the conveying assembly 2 is open. The linear motor platforms 62 drive the cage 61 to move up and down. When the first layer of cigarettes is pushed, the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the cage 61 is in the same plane as the surface of the conveyor belt. When the second layer of cigarettes is pushed, the cage 61 descends a certain height, controlled according to the height of the first layer of cigarettes. This allows the second layer of cigarettes to be smoothly pushed into the cage 61, achieving the stacking of cigarettes.

[0032] An electrical box 7 is installed inside the bracket. A door 71 is installed on one side of the electrical box 7. A controller 72 is installed inside the electrical box 7. The controller 72 is connected to each electrical component via circuitry. The controller 72 is a PLC controller 72.

[0033] When using this utility model:

[0034] The conveying assembly is activated, and several packs of cigarettes are conveyed to the front of the top plate. Then, the pushing assembly is activated, pushing one layer of cigarettes into the lifting frame. The lifting frame then descends to a certain height. The conveying assembly and the pushing assembly are activated again, pushing a second layer of cigarettes into the frame, until the stacking of this group of cigarettes is complete.
