Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette mold box technology, and in particular to an adjustable cigarette mold box for a cigarette conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] Cigarette packaging equipment is one of the main pieces of equipment in cigarette factories. Generally, it involves first packaging twenty cigarettes into a box, then packaging ten boxes into a carton, and finally wrapping them in transparent plastic film to complete the packaging. During the boxing process, the cigarette box mold is the main functional unit. The mold arranges the cigarettes neatly in a 7-6-7 sequence, allowing them to be transported into the cigarette box quickly and accurately. Because a pushing device directly pushes the cigarettes into the box, the quality and condition of the cigarette box directly affect the stability of the cigarette processing. Worn cigarette boxes need to be replaced promptly to ensure smooth cigarette transport, prevent jamming, and avoid affecting processing quality and efficiency. For example, Chinese patent document CN202320066473.6 discloses a tooling for replacing cigarette mold boxes, including a pressing handle, a sliding bracket, a sliding adjustment support block, an L-shaped sliding support frame, a powerful suction cup, an integral adjustment sleeve, and a main support frame; the pressing handle is threadedly connected to the main support frame; sliding brackets are respectively provided at both ends of the main support frame, the sliding brackets are slidably mounted on the main support frame and locked and fixed by a first set screw; the sliding adjustment support block slides up and down along the sliding bracket; the end of the sliding adjustment support block away from the sliding bracket has a U-shaped opening groove, one end of the L-shaped sliding support frame is engaged in the U-shaped opening groove and connected with the U-shaped opening groove; the other end of the L-shaped sliding support frame is sleeved in the integral adjustment sleeve and can slide back and forth in the integral adjustment sleeve; the powerful suction cup is aligned with the mold box. The aforementioned patent allows one person to independently complete the replacement of cigarette mold boxes using a simple and reliable device. However, the positional accuracy of the cigarette mold box after installation cannot be guaranteed. It can only be installed by relying on a fixed snap-fit opening and cannot be adjusted at a small angle relative to the transmission device. When the cigarette cannot be directly pushed into the cigarette mold box, it can only be disassembled and replaced, which affects the processing efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to provide an adjustable cigarette mold for a cigarette delivery device, which allows for small-angle adjustment of the cigarette mold on the delivery device, ensuring quick installation and stable use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable cigarette mold box for a cigarette conveying device, so as to solve the technical problem that in the prior art, the cigarette mold box on the conveying device cannot be adjusted at a small angle, which causes the cigarette to be unable to be directly pushed into the cigarette mold box, and can only be disassembled and replaced, thus affecting the processing efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an adjustable cigarette mold box for a cigarette conveying device, used for conveying cigarettes. The adjustable cigarette mold box for the cigarette conveying device includes a mounting plate and multiple cigarette mold boxes detachably mounted on the mounting plate. A mounting surface is formed on the mounting plate, and a mating block is protruding on the mounting surface. The cigarette mold box is detachably connected to the mating block. An elastic pad is elastically connected between the cigarette mold box and the mating block. An adjusting member is also provided on the cigarette mold box. One end of the adjusting member is mated and connected inside the cigarette mold box, and the other end of the adjusting member passes through the elastic pad and is mated and connected inside the mating block. The elastic pad is deformably disposed between the cigarette mold box and the mating block under the rotation of the adjusting member.
[0006] Furthermore, the cigarette mold box is provided with an installation groove, which extends through the opposite two sides of the cigarette mold box along the axial direction of the installation plate. The cigarette is installed in the installation groove. Two adjustment members are provided and are respectively provided at both ends of the cigarette mold box. The adjustment members are provided in the installation groove.
[0007] Furthermore, a mating block is fixedly connected to the mounting plane, and a mating groove is provided on the surface of the cigarette mold box away from the mounting groove. The mating groove is mated to the mating block, and a blocking block is provided on the mating block. The elastic pad is disposed in the mating groove, and the side of the elastic pad can abut against the blocking block.
[0008] Furthermore, the mounting groove is provided with adjustment holes, which sequentially penetrate the wall of the cigarette mold box and the wall of the elastic pad. The mating block is provided with mating holes, with one mating hole facing one adjustment hole. The adjustment component is mated and connected in the adjustment hole and the mating hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the mating block is provided with a limiting groove, which is opened inward from the end face of the mating block. The limiting groove passes through the mating hole and is connected to the mating hole. A limiting component is mated and connected in the limiting groove, and the end face of the adjusting component can abut against the limiting component.
[0010] Furthermore, a notch is provided at one end of the mating groove near the blocking block. The notch is opened inward from the end face of the cigarette mold box. The blocking block part can abut against the side wall of the notch, and a gap is left between the blocking block and the bottom wall of the notch.
[0011] Furthermore, the elastic pad is made of rubber.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment hole includes a countersunk hole and a screw hole. The countersunk hole is opened inward from the bottom of the mounting groove and extends into the wall of the cigarette mold box. The screw hole and the countersunk hole are coaxially arranged. The screw hole passes through the wall of the cigarette mold box and the wall of the elastic pad in sequence and extends into the mating groove. The screw hole has an internal thread on the wall inside the mating block.
[0013] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a screw head and a threaded portion. The screw head is fitted into the countersunk hole portion, and the side wall of the screw head abuts against the bottom wall of the countersunk hole portion.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 This utility model provides an adjustable cigarette mold box for a cigarette conveying device, used for conveying cigarettes. The adjustable cigarette mold box includes a mounting plate 10 and multiple cigarette mold boxes 20 detachably mounted on the mounting plate 10. The mounting plate 10 has a disc-shaped structure. The cigarettes are installed in the cigarette mold boxes 20. A mounting hole 11 is opened in the center of the mounting plate 10. The mounting hole 11 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a drive motor (not shown). In use, the drive motor drives the mounting plate 10 to rotate. The mounting plate 10 rotates around the axis of the mounting hole 11. The cigarette mold boxes 20 rotate synchronously under the drive of the mounting plate 10, thereby transporting the cigarettes in one cigarette mold box 20 from one workstation to another.
[0023] Furthermore, a mounting ring 12 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the mounting plate 10. The mounting ring 12 protrudes from both sides of the edge of the mounting plate 10. The mounting ring 12 has a regular polygonal structure, and multiple mounting planes 13 are uniformly formed on the circumferential surface of the mounting ring 12. The mounting planes 13 are perpendicular to the side of the plate body 11. The cigarette mold box 20 is detachably mounted on the mounting plane 13. This utility model suspends the cigarette mold box 20 on the circumferential surface of the mounting plate 10, which can effectively prevent interference between devices, facilitate cleaning, and improve ease of use.
[0024] In this embodiment, the mounting ring 12 is a regular dodecagon. One cigarette mold box 20 corresponds to one mounting plane 13, thereby ensuring the stability of the cigarette installation.
[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 10 is an integrally formed structure, which is convenient for processing. At the same time, the mounting plate 10 is made of aluminum alloy material, which is lightweight and has high strength and high toughness, and stable and reliable performance.
[0026] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 Multiple mating blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the mounting plane 13. The mating blocks 14 are evenly distributed on the mounting plane 13, and a separation seam 18 is provided between two adjacent mating blocks 14. The cigarette mold box 20 is provided with a mating groove 22, which is mated to the mating block 14. A blocking block 17 is protruding from the edge of the upper surface of the mating block 14. An elastic pad 23 is provided in the mating groove 22 of the cigarette mold box 20. The elastic pad 23 is elastically deformable and disposed between the cigarette mold box 20 and the mating block 14. The side of the elastic pad 23 can abut against the blocking block 17. The material of the elastic pad 23 includes, but is not limited to, rubber.
[0027] In use, the cigarette holder 20 is inserted and unplugged from the end of the mating block 14 away from the blocking block 17 and connected to the mating block 14. Installation is complete when the side of the elastic pad 23 abuts against the blocking block 17. This invention utilizes the blocking block 17 for quick positioning, improving the convenience and accuracy of installation.
[0028] In this embodiment, the mating block 14 has a rectangular structure, and the cross-section of the mating groove 22 is consistent with the cross-section of the mating block 14, so as to ensure that the mating block 14 can be accurately connected to the mating groove 22 and can be rotated at a small angle.
[0029] In this embodiment, a notch 221 is provided at one end of the mating groove 22 near the blocking block 17. The notch 221 is opened inward from the end face of the cigarette mold box 20. The blocking block 17 can abut against the side wall of the notch 221. A gap is left between the blocking block 17 and the bottom wall of the notch 221. So that when the elastic pad 23 is mated and connected between the cigarette mold box 20 and the mating block 14, the gap left between the blocking block 17 and the mating groove 22 provides sufficient space for the elastic deformation of the elastic pad 23, ensuring the stability of the deformation. At the same time, the blocking block 17 abutting against the side wall of the notch 221 can ensure the stability of the blocking and prevent deformation from affecting the positioning accuracy.
[0030] In another embodiment, the thickness of the elastic pad 23 is greater than the thickness of the blocking block 17. The sidewall of the blocking block 17 abuts against the sidewall of the elastic pad 23, and a gap is left between the top surface of the blocking block 17 and the mating groove 22. This gap provides sufficient space for the elastic deformation of the elastic pad 23, ensuring stability in use. Meanwhile, a metal strip (not shown in the figure), such as an aluminum strip, is provided on the surface of the elastic pad 23 that contacts the blocking block 17 to ensure the rigidity of the contact and prevent excessive deformation between the elastic pad 23 and the blocking block 17. The blocking block 17 is mainly used for positioning, preventing the cigarette mold box 20 from sliding off the mating block 14, ensuring convenient installation.
[0031] In other embodiments, multiple elastic pads 23 are provided and evenly distributed between the cigarette mold box 20 and the mating block 14, with gaps between one elastic pad 23 and another elastic pad 23 to provide sufficient space for the elastic deformation of the elastic pad 23 and ensure stability in use.
[0032] Furthermore, the cigarette mold box 20 has an installation groove 21 on the side away from the mating groove 22. The installation groove 21 extends through the opposite sides of the cigarette mold box 20 along the axial direction of the mounting plate 10, and is used to install the cigarette.
[0033] The mounting groove 21 is provided with an adjustment hole 24, which passes through the wall of the cigarette mold box 20 and the wall of the elastic pad 23. The mating block 14 is provided with mating holes 15, one mating hole 15 corresponding to one adjustment hole 24, and each mating block 14 has one mating hole 15. An adjustment element 27 is fitted into the adjustment hole 24, with one end of the adjustment element 27 fitted into the adjustment hole 24 and the other end fitted into the mating hole 15. In use, the adjustment element 27 allows the cigarette mold box 20 to be detachably connected to the mating block 14, while simultaneously causing the elastic pad 23 located between the cigarette mold box 20 and the mating block 14 to elastically deform. The elastically deformable pad 23 allows for small-angle adjustment between the cigarette mold box 20 and the mounting plane 13. One adjustment element 27 is fitted into each mating block 14, ensuring that multiple adjustment elements 27 do not interfere with each other during the adjustment of the cigarette mold box 20, thus guaranteeing stability in use.
[0034] Specifically, the adjustment hole 24 includes a countersunk hole 241 and a screw hole 242. The countersunk hole 241 is opened inward from the bottom surface of the mounting groove 21 and extends into the wall of the cigarette mold box 20. The screw hole 242 is coaxially arranged with the countersunk hole 241. The screw hole 242 passes through the wall of the cigarette mold box 20 and the wall of the elastic pad 23 in sequence and extends into the mating groove 22. The screw hole 242 has an internal thread on the wall inside the mating block 14.
[0035] The adjusting member 27 includes a screw head 271 and a threaded portion 272. The screw head 271 is fitted into the countersunk hole portion 241, and the side wall of the screw head 271 abuts against the bottom wall of the countersunk hole portion 241. The threaded portion 272 is provided with external threads and is threaded into the screw hole portion 242.
[0036] In this embodiment, the adjustment hole 24 is an oblong hole, which is used to ensure the stability of the adjustment component 27 during installation and adjustment and to prevent interference.
[0037] In other embodiments, the diameter of the countersunk portion 241 of the adjustment hole 24 is larger than the diameter of the screw head 271. A shim 243 is provided inside the countersunk portion 241. When an adjustment member 27 presses the elastic pad 23 vertically downward, the cigarette mold box 20 tilts, which in turn causes the screw head 271 to tilt relative to the bottom of the countersunk portion 241. To ensure the stability of the connection, the present invention provides a shim 243 at the countersunk portion 241. The shim 243 is made of copper to ensure the contact area between the screw head 271 and the countersunk portion 241 and to ensure stable force.
[0038] In use, one end of the adjusting member 27 abuts against the wall of the cigarette mold box 20, and the other end of the adjusting member 27 is connected to the mating block 14. The adjusting member 27 is used to fix the cigarette mold box 20 to the mating block 14. After the fastening is completed, the adjusting member 27 is rotated, and the cigarette mold box 20 and the mating block 14 are further brought closer to each other, thereby causing the elastic member 23 located between the two to deform, so as to realize the small angle adjustment between the cigarette mold box 20 and the mounting plane 13.
[0039] In this embodiment, the adjusting component 27 is a standard component such as a bolt or screw commonly found on the market. There are two adjusting components 27, which are respectively set at both ends of the cigarette mold box 20. By rotating the adjusting components 27 on different mating blocks 14, one end of the cigarette mold box 20 rotates relative to the mounting plane 13, thereby adjusting the angle of the cigarette in the mounting groove 21, ensuring more accurate and stable installation, preventing interference when the cigarette enters or exits, and improving the stability of use.
[0040] In this embodiment, the mating block 14 is provided with a limiting groove 16, which is opened inward from the end face of the mating block 14 and passes through the mating hole 15, communicating with the mating hole 15. A limiting member 19 is mated and connected within the limiting groove 16, and the end face of the adjusting member 27 can abut against the limiting member 19. The limiting member 19 includes, but is not limited to, stainless steel, and is detachably connected to the limiting groove 16 using fasteners such as bolts or screws.
[0041] In use, by installing limiting parts 19 of different heights, the extension length of the adjusting part 27 is limited, thereby preventing the cigarette mold box 20 from excessively compressing the elastic pad 23 and ensuring the stability of this utility model in use.
[0042] Understandably, the upper surface of the adjustment member 27 is lower than the bottom surface of the mounting groove 21 to ensure the stability of the cigarette insertion and prevent jamming. At the same time, a thin film (not shown) can be installed on the opening of the adjustment hole 24 located in the mounting groove 21. The thin film includes, but is not limited to, adhesive tape, to further prevent the cigarette from jamming and ensure the stability of the cigarette installation.
[0043] The specific operation method of this utility model is as follows: Step 1: Insert and unplug the cigarette mold box 20 from the end of the mating block 14 away from the blocking block 17 to the mating block 14. When the side of the elastic pad 23 abuts against the blocking block 17, the installation is completed.
[0044] Step 2: Insert the adjusting piece 27 into the adjusting hole 24 and rotate it to fix the cigarette mold box 20 to the mating block 14. Continue to tighten the adjusting piece 27 so that one end of the cigarette mold box 20 rotates relative to the mounting plane 13 to achieve small-angle adjustment and ensure the accuracy of the cigarette installation.
[0045] This invention allows one end of the cigarette mold box 20 to rotate relative to the mounting plane 13 by rotating different adjusting components 27, thereby adjusting the angle of the cigarette within the mounting groove 21. This ensures more accurate and stable installation, prevents interference, and improves operational stability. Compared to existing technologies that repeatedly adjust the position of the cigarette mold box 20 in multiple directions, this invention uses a blocking block 17 to quickly position the cigarette mold box 20, and then utilizes multiple adjusting components 27 to adjust the angle between the cigarette mold box 20 and the mounting plane 13. This allows for rapid adjustment and calibration, greatly improving processing efficiency and ensuring operational stability.
[0046] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
