Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette sorting and storage, specifically to a sorting device for irregularly shaped cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the tobacco industry, in order to meet market consumption trends and consumers' personalized and diversified consumption needs, the tobacco industry launches unique extra-large cigarette sizes every year. However, the sorting equipment on the market is generally only suitable for the automatic sorting of standard, slim, and medium-sized cigarettes, and cannot be used for extra-large cigarettes such as standard and wooden boxes. Existing sorting equipment designed for extra-large cigarettes uses a vertical release method on a belt conveyor and adopts a clamping mechanism and a release mechanism to separate cigarettes one by one, avoiding the situation of no cigarette being produced or too much cigarette being produced. However, all of them are driven by motors, the whole process is complicated and consumes a lot of energy, and the equipment cost is high. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a sorting device for irregularly shaped smokes, enabling automated sorting of such smokes. It utilizes a cylinder to clamp and discharge the smoke, resulting in a simple structure, reduced equipment costs, and convenient on-site installation and debugging.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sorting device for irregularly shaped cigarettes, comprising a frame, a main conveyor belt arranged below the frame, and a plurality of cigarette storage bins arranged on the frame above the main conveyor belt. Each cigarette storage bin has a set of cigarette-supporting mechanisms at its bottom. The cigarette-supporting mechanism includes cigarette-supporting cylinders and cigarette-supporting plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the cigarette storage bin. The piston rod of the cigarette-supporting cylinder is fixedly connected to the cigarette-supporting plate. A set of clamping mechanisms is arranged above the cigarette-supporting mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes clamping cylinders and clamping plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cigarette storage bin. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to the clamping plate.

[0005] Both the clamping mechanism and the cigarette holder mechanism are equipped with detection switches.

[0006] The frame is also equipped with a control unit, and the cigarette holder mechanism and the clamping mechanism are electrically connected to the control unit.

[0007] An electronic tag screen is installed on the top of the rack, and the electronic tag screen is electrically connected to the control unit.

[0008] The frame is also equipped with a smoke replenishment platform.

[0009] The top and bottom of the rack corresponding to the smoke storage compartment are each provided with a sliding groove.

[0010] The storage chamber is provided with several threaded holes along its height, and the clamping mechanism is connected to the storage chamber by screws.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this utility model realizes the opening and closing action of the clamping mechanism and the cigarette-holding mechanism through the extension and retraction of the cylinder, thereby enabling the separation of irregularly shaped cigarettes one by one, avoiding the phenomenon of no smoke or excessive smoke output. Furthermore, the method of clamping and discharging cigarettes with the cylinder has a simple structure, reduces equipment costs, and facilitates on-site installation and debugging. At the same time, it is equipped with an independent program control unit to realize the automated sorting of irregularly shaped cigarettes, thereby improving the sorting efficiency of the equipment.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be selected to be combined or substituted with each other according to the actual situation, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. Example

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a sorting device for irregularly shaped cigarettes, including a frame 1. A main conveyor belt 2 is arranged below the frame 1. Several cigarette storage bins 3 are arranged on the frame 1 above the main conveyor belt 2. A set of cigarette-supporting mechanisms is arranged at the bottom of each cigarette storage bin 3. The cigarette-supporting mechanism includes a cigarette-supporting cylinder 4 and a cigarette-supporting plate 5 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the cigarette storage bin 3. The piston rod of the cigarette-supporting cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the cigarette-supporting plate 5. A set of clamping mechanisms is arranged above the cigarette-supporting mechanisms. The clamping mechanisms include a clamping cylinder 6 and a clamping plate 7 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cigarette storage bin 3. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 7. Both the clamping mechanism and the cigarette-supporting mechanism are equipped with detection switches 12. A control unit 8 is also installed on the frame 1. The cigarette-supporting mechanism and the clamping mechanism are electrically connected to the control unit 8.

[0021] The smoke-collecting mechanism is normally closed, and the clamping mechanism is normally open. When an irregularly shaped smoke falls onto the smoke-collecting mechanism, the detection switch 12 detects the smoke and transmits a signal to the control unit 8. The control unit 8 controls the clamping cylinders 6 on both sides of the smoke storage chamber 3 to extend their piston rods and clamp the next irregularly shaped smoke. At this time, the control unit 8 controls the smoke-collecting cylinders 4 on both sides of the bottom of the smoke storage chamber 3 to retract their piston rods. The irregularly shaped smoke falls onto the main conveyor belt 2 by its own weight to complete the smoke discharge. The smoke-collecting mechanism closes again, and the clamping mechanism opens to let the next irregularly shaped smoke fall onto the smoke-collecting mechanism and then closes to clamp the next irregularly shaped smoke. This process is repeated to achieve continuous smoke discharge.

[0022] Specifically, an electronic tag screen 9 is installed on the top of the rack 1. The electronic tag screen 9 is electrically connected to the control unit 8. The electronic tag screen 9 can accurately display the specifications of the irregularly shaped cigarettes in the cigarette storage compartment 3 and the status of cigarette replenishment.

[0023] Specifically, in order to facilitate timely manual replenishment of smoke in the smoke storage chamber 3, a smoke replenishment platform 10 is also provided on the frame 1.

[0024] Specifically, the top and bottom of the frame 1 corresponding to the storage smoke chamber 3 are each provided with a sliding groove 11. When the width of the super-shaped smoke placed in the storage smoke chamber 3 changes, the width of the storage smoke chamber 3 can be adjusted by moving the side plate of the storage smoke chamber 3 to meet the needs of super-shaped smoke of different widths.

[0025] Specifically, the storage chamber 3 is provided with several threaded holes along the height direction, and the clamping mechanism is connected to the storage chamber 3 by screws. When the height of the irregularly shaped smoke changes, the clamping position can be adjusted by loosening the screws and then moving the clamping mechanism up and down along the height direction of the storage chamber 3.

[0026] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, there are other embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
