[0034] In the following description, the first direction A referred to refers to the left-right direction in Figure 2 and Figure 4 ; the second direction B refers to the up-down direction in Figure 2 and Figure 3 ; the third direction C refers to the left-right direction in Figure 3 .
[0035] As shown in Figure 2 , the present embodiment provides an article arrangement device, which comprises two clamping blocks 11 and a clamping block driving mechanism. The two clamping blocks 11 are arranged in relative spacing along the first direction A. The clamping block driving mechanism is in corresponding driving connection with one of the two clamping blocks 11, and is configured to drive the corresponding clamping block 11 to approach or move away from the other clamping block 11. The clamping block driving mechanism comprises a push arm 8, a swing arm 6, a rotating shaft 7 and at least one bearing 10. The push arm 8 comprises a shaft hole 85, and the push arm 8 is connected with the corresponding clamping block 11. The swing arm 6 is in driving connection with the push arm 8, and is configured to drive the push arm 8 to move by swinging itself. The at least one bearing 10 is installed in the shaft hole 85 of the push arm 8. The bearing 10 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 7, and the rotating shaft 7 is configured to hinge the push arm 8 and the rotating shaft 7.
[0036] The article arrangement device sleeves the bearing 10 on the rotating shaft 7, so that the push arm 8 and the rotating shaft 7 are relatively rotatably connected through the bearing 10, which is conducive to reducing the friction between the push arm 8 and the rotating shaft 7, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the seizing phenomenon between the push arm 8 and the rotating shaft 7 due to the rusting of the rotating shaft 7 and the entry of oil stains and dust in the air into the gap between the rotating shaft and the push arm 8, and prolonging the service life of the article arrangement device, and facilitating the swing arm 6 to drive the push arm 8 to move smoothly and reciprocally, thereby improving the production efficiency.
[0037] As shown in Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the push arm 8 comprises an oil hole 83, and the oil hole 83 comprises an oil inlet and an oil outlet. The oil inlet is formed on the top surface of the push arm 8, and the oil outlet is in communication with the shaft hole 85.
[0038] The oil hole 83 is arranged to facilitate lubrication of the bearing 10 in the shaft hole 85, thereby facilitating maintenance of the rotation performance of the bearing 10, thereby facilitating improvement of the stability of the rotation connection between the rotating shaft 7 and the push arm 8, thereby facilitating stable reciprocating movement of the push arm 8 to drive the clamping block 11. The oil inlet is arranged on the top surface of the push arm 8, facilitating convenient oil injection into the oil hole 83, and facilitating rapid flow of the lubricating oil into the shaft hole 85 due to gravity.
[0039] As shown in Figure 3 some embodiments, the push arm 8 further comprises an oil injection nozzle 84. The oil injection nozzle 84 is arranged on the push arm 8 and communicates with the oil inlet.
[0040] The arrangement of the oil injection nozzle 84 facilitates injection of lubricating oil into the oil hole 83 during oil injection, avoids splashing of lubricating oil, facilitates oil injection by the operator, and forms an oil storage space in the oil injection nozzle 84 and the oil hole 83. The oil storage space facilitates reduction of poor lubrication problems caused by insufficient lubricating oil. At the same time, the oil storage space also facilitates buffering and stabilizing the pressure of the lubricating oil, avoiding mixing of air bubbles in the lubricating oil during oil injection.
[0041] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 some embodiments, the push arm 8 comprises a first arm segment 81 and a second arm segment 82. The first arm segment 81 is arranged on the side of the push arm 8 close to the clamping block 11. The second arm segment 82 is arranged on the side of the push arm 8 away from the clamping block 11. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the second arm segment 82 through at least one bearing 10. The dimension of the first arm segment 81 along the second direction B is greater than the dimension of the second arm segment 82 along the second direction B. The second direction B is perpendicular to the first direction A and the extension direction of the rotating shaft 7. In some embodiments, the dimension of the first arm segment 81 along the second direction B is 40mm-50mm. The dimension of the second arm segment 82 along the second direction B is 25mm-35mm.
[0042] The arrangement of the dimension of the first arm segment 81 along the second direction B being greater than the dimension of the second arm segment 82 along the second direction B facilitates improvement of the connection strength between the push arm 8 and the clamping block 11, and facilitates stable reciprocating movement of the push arm 8 to drive the clamping block 11 along the first direction A. In addition, this arrangement facilitates saving of manufacturing materials of the second arm segment 82.
[0043] As shown in Figure 3 some embodiments, the article arrangement device comprises two bearings 10 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 7.
[0044] The two bearings 10 facilitate effective sharing of the load on the rotating shaft 7, thereby reducing the load on each bearing 10, facilitating prolongation of the service life of each bearing 10, and also facilitating improvement of the stability of the relative rotation between the rotating shaft 7 and the push arm 8.
[0045] In some embodiments, the bearing 10 is a needle bearing.
[0046] The radial dimension of the needle bearing is compact, which is conducive to reducing the diameter of the shaft hole 85 provided in the second arm segment 82, thereby being conducive to preventing the strength of the connection between the push arm 8 and the rotating shaft 7 from being excessively reduced due to the installation of the bearing 10.
[0047] In some embodiments, the article arranging device includes two or more clamp block driving mechanisms, which are respectively and correspondingly connected to different ones of the two clamp blocks 11.
[0048] This arrangement is conducive to improving the stability and driving efficiency of the clamp block driving mechanism in driving the clamp block 83, and is conducive to maintaining the continuous operation of the article arranging device.
[0049] In some embodiments, the article arranging device includes two or more clamp block driving mechanisms, which are respectively and correspondingly connected to different ones of the two clamp blocks 11.
[0050] This arrangement is conducive to the article arranging device arranging the articles to be arranged on both sides of the first direction A, thereby being conducive to improving the effect of aligning the articles.
[0051] Another aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides a packer for conveying a tobacco rod along a third direction C. The third direction C is the extension direction of the rotating shaft 7. The packer includes a conveying device 12 and the article arranging device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The conveying device 12 extends along the third direction C and is configured to convey the tobacco rod along the third direction C. The two clamp blocks 11 of the article arranging device are respectively located on both sides of the conveying device 12 along the first direction A. The article arranging device is configured to arrange the tobacco rod on the conveying device 12.
[0052] The packer of the embodiments of the present disclosure has the advantages of the article arranging device of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0053] In some embodiments, the conveying device 12 may, for example, include a conveyor belt or a conveyor roller, etc.
[0054] The article arranging device and the packer of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below. Figures 2 to 4 The article arranging device and the packer of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.
[0055] As Figure 2As shown, the item sorting device includes two clamping blocks 11 and a clamping block driving mechanism. The clamping block driving mechanism includes a push arm 8, a swing arm 6, a rotating shaft 7, and two bearings 10. The swing arm 6 and the push arm 8 of the clamping block driving mechanism are hinged by the rotating shaft 7. The swing arm 6 swings to drive the push arm 8 to move closer to or away from the conveying device 12 of the bagging machine, thereby driving the corresponding clamping block 11 to move closer to or away from the other clamping block 11. The bearings 10 are needle roller bearings. The two bearings 10 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 7 and spaced apart along a third direction C. The bearings 10 are both installed in the shaft hole 85 of the push arm 8, so that the push arm 8 and the rotating shaft 7 are rotatably connected. The provision of two bearings 10 helps to reduce the friction between the push arm 8 and the rotating shaft 7, thereby helping to prevent the rotating shaft 7 from seizing due to rust on the rotating shaft 7 and oil and dust in the air entering the gap between the rotating shaft and the push arm 8.
[0056] The sorting device also includes a transmission box (not shown) and a connector 9. The transmission shaft 5 inside the transmission box of the baggage handling machine is driven to the end of the swing arm 6 furthest from the rotating shaft 7, driving the swing arm 6 to swing. The swing arm 6 is hinged to the push arm 8 via the rotating shaft 7. The swing arm 6 swings to drive the push arm 8 closer to or further away from the conveyor 12. The connector 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the push arm 8 furthest from the rotating shaft 7. The end of the connector 9 furthest from the push arm 8 is fixedly connected to a corresponding clamp 11 of the clamp drive mechanism, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the clamping block 11 is located on the left side of the conveying device 12. The other clamping block 11 of the two clamping blocks 11 is located on the right side of the conveying device 12 and is spaced apart from the clamping block 11 located on the left side of the conveying device 12 along a first direction A. Both clamping blocks 11 include a tidying surface, which is arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the conveying device 12 along the first direction A, so that the tobacco strips on the conveying device 12 are neatly arranged between the two tidying surfaces.

The oil hole 83 includes an oil inlet and an oil outlet; the oil inlet is located on the top surface of the push arm 8, and the oil outlet communicates with the shaft hole 85 of the push arm 8. The item sorting device also includes a grease nipple 84, located above the push arm 8 and communicating with the oil inlet. The grease nipple 84 facilitates simple and efficient lubrication and maintenance of the bearing 10. The grease nipple 84 and the oil hole 83 form an oil storage space. Operators can periodically open the grease nipple 84 to check the oil level in the storage space and add oil as needed, thus ensuring continuous lubrication of the bearing 10.
[0058] like Figure 4As shown, the push arm 8 includes a first arm segment 81 and a second arm segment 82. The end of the first arm segment 81 furthest from the second arm segment 82 is fixedly connected to a connecting member 9. The end of the second arm segment 82 furthest from the first arm segment 81 is hinged to the swing arm 6 via a pivot 7, which is rotatably connected to the second arm segment 82 via two bearings 10. In this embodiment, the dimension of the first arm segment 81 along the second direction B is 45 mm. The dimension of the second arm segment 82 along the second direction B is 30 mm.
[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette packing machine includes an item sorting device and a conveying device 12. The conveying device 12 conveys cigarette packs along a third direction C. Two clamps 11 of the item sorting device are located on the left and right sides of the conveying device 12, respectively.
