Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette processing and packaging technology, and more specifically, to a phase adjustment device for a packing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development of cigarette and packaging technology, the operating speed of cigarette paper packaging production lines has been increasing, while the development of the supporting upstream machinery systems has lagged behind. In addition, due to the personalized development of the cigarette market, some cigarettes require manual packaging, and some cigarette pack supply devices are mainly single-channel supply, where cigarette packs are neatly arranged by hand and then placed on a single channel for assembly line supply.

[0003] In the cigarette packaging production process, the rejection station is responsible for removing defective cigarette packs. Subsequently, a replenishment tower replaces defect-free cigarette packs with those in the turret mold to ensure that downstream processes produce cigarette packs without missing packs. However, existing replenishment devices have a fixed replenishment phase, which cannot adapt to the needs of cigarette packs of different materials and weights. This leads to positional deviations when the cigarette packs fall into the mold, easily causing problems such as pack rubbing and turret mold damage, severely impacting equipment production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a phase adjustment device for a pack replenisher. This device adjusts the replenishment phase to achieve precise replenishment of the pack in the turret box mold, avoids interference, and improves production efficiency and product quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cigarette pack replenishment device with phase adjustment, comprising: a turret and a cigarette pack replenishment device. The turret includes a support, a base, a chassis, and a rotating shaft. The support is fixedly installed on the bottom of the chassis. An arc-shaped plate is fixed to the support on the outer side of the base. The outer edge of the base is circular and has several uniformly distributed cigarette pack molds. The center of the base is connected to the chassis via the rotating shaft, allowing the base to rotate. The cigarette pack replenishment device is used to store several cigarette packs and can release one cigarette pack to a designated cigarette pack mold. It also includes:

[0006] A coupling that is connected to a rotating shaft;

[0007] An encoder is mounted on the upper end of the coupling. The encoder detects the rotation signal of the coupling and converts the rotation signal into phase information, which is then sent to the controller.

[0008] An optical fiber detector is fixedly mounted on the arc plate to detect whether there is a cigarette pack inside the box mold, and to send a cigarette pack status signal to the controller when no cigarette pack is detected inside the box mold.

[0009] The controller is electrically connected to the encoder, fiber optic amplifier, and relay, and is able to send control signals to the cigarette pack replenishment device based on the cigarette pack status information and phase information to replenish cigarette packs in the box mold that is missing cigarette packs.

[0010] Specifically, the smoke pack replenishment device includes a replenishment tower, a solenoid valve, a relay, and a clamping cylinder.

[0011] Specifically, the repair tower is mounted on the support, and the bottom opening of the repair tower is aligned with the base box mold.

[0012] Specifically, the solenoid valve is installed at the bottom of the packing tower and is electrically connected to a relay for replenishing cigarette packs to the box mold according to the control signal from the controller.

[0013] Specifically, the clamping cylinder and the solenoid valve are installed in the packing tower. The clamping cylinder and the solenoid valve are electrically connected and are used to clamp the cigarette packs and insert them into the designated box mold.

[0014] Specifically, it also includes an optical fiber amplifier, which is electrically connected to the optical fiber detector and is used to amplify the cigarette pack status signal detected by the optical fiber detector and send it to the controller.

[0015] Specifically, the encoder is an absolute encoder.

[0016] Specifically, the controller model is a Siemens S7-200 controller.

[0017] Specifically, it also includes a touchscreen, which is electrically connected to the controller and can be configured to detect the phase.

[0018] The working principle and usage method of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] The controller monitors the turret phase in real time via an encoder and controls the solenoid valve to open and close at the appropriate time, ensuring that the cigarette packs in the replenisher fall into the empty cartridge mold at the correct phase without interference. When the fiber optic detector detects no cigarette packs in the turret cartridge mold within the set phase, it sends a signal to the controller via a fiber optic amplifier. The controller then controls the solenoid valve to open, releasing the cigarette packs into the cartridge mold. When the set end-replenishment phase is reached, the controller controls the solenoid valve to close, clamping and lifting the remaining cigarette packs in the replenisher to prevent them from colliding with the cartridge mold.

[0034] This utility model embodiment provides a patcher phase adjustment device, such as... Figure 1As shown, the phase adjustment device turret of the pack replenisher and the pack replenishing device are shown. The turret includes a base 1, a support 2, a chassis and a rotating shaft 3. The support 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the chassis. An arc plate 13 fixed on the support 1 is installed on the outside of the base 1. The outer edge of the base 1 is circular and has several box molds evenly distributed. The center of the base 1 is connected to the chassis through the rotating shaft 3 so that the base 1 can rotate.

[0035] The cigarette pack replenishment device includes a replenishment tower, a solenoid valve 11, a relay 7, and a clamping cylinder 12. The replenishment tower is mounted on a support 2, with its bottom opening aligned with the mold on the base 1. The replenishment device stores several cigarette packs and can release one cigarette pack to a designated mold. The solenoid valve 11 and the clamping cylinder 12 are horizontally mounted at the bottom of the replenishment tower. The solenoid valve 11 is electrically connected to the relay 7, and the clamping cylinder 12 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 11.

[0036] Electrical components, such as Figure 2 As shown, the controller 6 is electrically connected to the encoder 5, the fiber optic amplifier 10, and the relay 7, respectively.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] The controller monitors the turret phase in real time via an encoder and controls the solenoid valve to open and close at the appropriate time, ensuring that the cigarette packs in the replenisher fall into the empty cartridge mold at the correct phase without interference. When the fiber optic detector detects no cigarette packs in the turret cartridge mold within the set phase, it sends a signal to the controller via a fiber optic amplifier. The controller then controls the solenoid valve to open, releasing the cigarette packs into the cartridge mold. When the set end-replenishment phase is reached, the controller controls the solenoid valve to close, clamping and lifting the remaining cigarette packs in the replenisher to prevent them from colliding with the cartridge mold.

[0039] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] When the phase adjustment device of the patcher is running, the turret rotates, causing the base 1 and the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The rotation signal is transmitted to the encoder 5 through the coupling 4. The encoder 5 is an absolute encoder that can output the phase information of the turret in real time. The encoder 5 converts the rotation signal into phase information and outputs it to the controller 6, which uses a Siemens S7-200 controller.

[0041] The touchscreen 8 serves as a human-machine interface, allowing operators to view turret phase information in real time and flexibly set parameters such as detection phase and smoke replenishment phase according to production needs. The touchscreen 8 is electrically connected to the controller 6 for information communication. Through simple operation, precise control of the smoke replenishment phase adjustment device can be achieved, improving production efficiency and product quality. The touchscreen 8 can be equipped with virtual buttons for detection phase, start smoke replenishment phase, and end smoke replenishment phase. It monitors the turret phase in real time and controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 11 within the set phase to achieve smoke bag replenishment and clamping lifting.

[0042] The fiber optic detector 9 is mounted on the arc-shaped plate 13 on the outside of the bracket 2 and is electrically connected to the fiber optic amplifier 10. The fiber optic detector 9 detects whether there is a smoke pack inside the turret box within a set phase. If there is no smoke pack, it outputs a signal to the controller 6 through the fiber optic amplifier 10.

[0043] The controller monitors the turret phase in real time via an encoder and controls the solenoid valve to open and close at the appropriate time, ensuring that the cigarette packs in the replenisher fall into the empty cartridge mold at the correct phase without interference. When the fiber optic detector detects no cigarette packs in the turret cartridge mold within the set phase, it sends a signal to the controller via a fiber optic amplifier. The controller then controls the solenoid valve to open, releasing the cigarette packs into the cartridge mold. When the set end-replenishment phase is reached, the controller controls the solenoid valve to close, clamping and lifting the remaining cigarette packs in the replenisher to prevent them from colliding with the cartridge mold.

[0044] According to the start of the smoke replenishment phase, the controller 6 sends a command to open the solenoid valve 11 to the relay 7. The relay 7 closes the circuit, energizing and opening the solenoid valve 11. The clamping cylinder 12 releases the clamped smoke pack, and the smoke pack enters the empty box mold from the replenishment tower outlet. According to the end of the smoke replenishment phase, the controller 6 sends a command to close the solenoid valve 11 to the relay 7. The relay 7 opens the circuit, de-energizing and closing the solenoid valve 11. The clamping cylinder 12 clamps and lifts the smoke pack at the replenishment tower outlet to prevent it from colliding with the subsequently rotating box mold.

[0045] In this way, precise control of the clamping cylinder of the packing tower is achieved.

[0046] The technical effects of this embodiment are as follows:

[0047] 1. This utility model embodiment achieves precise adjustment and control of the cigarette replenishment phase by setting up sensors, encoders, and controllers. This device not only improves the production efficiency and product quality of cigarette packaging but also reduces equipment failure rates and maintenance costs, providing an efficient and reliable solution for the cigarette processing and packaging industry.

[0048] 2. The present invention is highly adjustable: the detection phase and the smoke replenishment phase can be flexibly set via a touch screen to adapt to the production needs of cigarette packs of different materials and weights;

[0049] 3. The present invention has high precision: it utilizes encoders and fiber optic detectors for real-time monitoring and control to ensure that the cigarette pack is accurately inserted into the mold at the correct phase, thus avoiding interference;

[0050] 4. The present invention has good stability: it employs an absolute encoder and a high-sensitivity fiber optic detector to improve the stability and reliability of the system;

[0051] 5. The present invention is easy to maintain: it has a compact structure and modular component design, which facilitates installation and maintenance.
