Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of auxiliary tools for cigarette production, and in particular to a chain plate punching fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of cigarettes, cigarettes are packaged into small boxes, then the small boxes are packaged into cartons, and finally the cartons are packaged into boxes. This process involves multiple transfers of cigarettes, small boxes, cartons, and boxes between various workstations. The transfer of cartons is achieved through a chain conveyor system, which can be horizontal or vertical. For vertical conveyors, separators need to be installed on the chain plates at predetermined positions, creating multiple continuously arranged grooves on the chain. These grooves are used to hold the cartons. When the chain moves vertically, it conveys the cartons vertically. Therefore, holes need to be drilled in the chain plates in the cigarette workshop. To ensure uniformity of components, the positions of these holes must also be consistent for installing the separators. Currently, drilling holes in the chain plates is done by hand using tools such as hand drills. This poses safety hazards, potentially injuring operators, and the hole positioning relies heavily on operator experience, leading to errors and inaccurate matching when installing the separators. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a chain plate punching fixture, which can realize the positioning of the chain plate and the auxiliary positioning of the required punching position, so as to perform punching operation on the chain plate, thereby effectively solving the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a chain plate punching fixture, including:

[0005] Tooling body;

[0006] The positioning surface is arranged in an enclosing shape on the tooling body, and the positioning surface encloses a space that matches the shape of the chain plate. The chain plate can be positioned and adapted within the space enclosed by the positioning surface.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of 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, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this application provides a chain plate punching fixture, applied in cigarette production, preferably as an auxiliary tool to assist the chain plate in punching, improving the convenience of punching the chain plate, etc. In cigarette factory production, the packaging of cigarettes into small boxes, the packaging of small boxes into cartons of cigarettes, and the packaging of cartons of cigarettes into boxes need to be completed sequentially. During this process, cigarettes, small boxes, cartons of cigarettes, and boxes need to be transferred and transported between multiple workstations. For example, for the transport of cartons of cigarettes, the chain of the packing machine transports the cartons of cigarettes vertically and horizontally. Therefore, the chain includes both horizontal and vertical running forms. For the vertically running chain, the chain plate needs to be equipped with a separator plate to divide the chain into multiple small compartments along the way. Each small compartment is used to hold cigarette packs, enabling vertical conveying of the cigarette packs. Due to the requirements for the partition plates, holes need to be drilled in the vertically running chain plates for connection. Currently, drilling holes in the chain plates in the workshop is mostly done by hand. Operators hold the chain plates and use tools such as hand drills to drill holes. Because the chain plates are small, they are inconvenient to hold, and the hand drills and other tools can easily injure operators, posing certain safety hazards. Moreover, the drilling position is mostly judged by the operator based on experience, which is not precise enough, making it inconvenient to install the partition plates later. The chain plate drilling fixture provided in this application aims to improve the convenience of drilling chain plates and the accuracy of the drilling position.

[0024] The chain plate punching fixture includes a fixture body 100, on which a positioning surface 101 is provided. The positioning surface 101 is arranged in an enclosing shape on the fixture body 100, enclosing a space. The space enclosed by the positioning surface 101 matches the shape of the chain plate, allowing the chain plate to be positioned and adapted within the space enclosed by the positioning surface 101. In this embodiment, the shape of the chain plate refers to the shape of the outer periphery on the thickness side of the chain plate. The chain plate is flat, allowing it to be laid flat within the space enclosed by the positioning surface 101, so that the positioning surface 101 and the outer periphery of the chain plate come into contact, thereby achieving positioning and limiting of the chain plate. This makes it easier for the operator to hold the punching fixture to punch holes in the chain plate, improving the convenience and safety of the punching operation. Preferably, the positioning surface 101 has multiple... The small faces connected end to end form an irregular polygon to match the shape of the chain plate and to form a limiting engagement. Preferably, the tooling body 100 is also provided with a positioning hole 200. The positioning hole 200 is circular and the space enclosed by the positioning hole 200 and the positioning surface 101 is interconnected. In this way, after the chain plate is placed in the space enclosed by the positioning surface 101, the drill bit of the hand drill can be inserted into the positioning hole 200 to drill a hole in the chain plate, which can improve safety and prevent injury to the operator. Moreover, the position of the positioning hole 200 corresponding to the space enclosed by the positioning surface 101 can be accurately measured and positioned in advance to match the drilling position on the chain plate. In this way, the tooling body 100 can be used to repeatedly assist in drilling different chain plates, thereby improving the accuracy of the drilling position on the chain plate, so as to facilitate the subsequent installation of the partition plate component.

[0025] In this embodiment, the chain plate is precisely positioned within the space enclosed by the positioning surface 101, the tool body 100 is easy for the operator to hold, the positioning hole 200 makes the drilling position more accurate, the operator's easy holding and the positioning hole 200 limit the hand drill bit, making the whole drilling process safer.

[0026] Preferably, a groove 300 is provided on the tooling body 100. The groove 300 has a sidewall, and the sidewall of the groove 300 is configured as a positioning surface 101. In this embodiment, a groove 300 is provided on the tooling body 100 to improve the limiting stability of the chain plate and make the drilling operation more convenient.

[0027] In this embodiment, the tooling body 100 is block-shaped, and the groove 300 is recessed in the tooling body 100. The tooling body 100 is a solid block structure, and the groove 300 is recessed in the tooling body 100, which makes it easier for the operator to hold. Moreover, the tooling body 100 can be made of metal, which makes the overall structure of the tooling body 100 stronger and less prone to deformation, improving the limiting stability of the chain plate and making the relative position of the positioning hole 200 more stable and accurate.

[0028] More preferably, the tooling body 100 is flat, and the groove 300 is recessed on one side of the flat part of the tooling body 100. In this embodiment, the tooling body 100 is a flat block structure, and the groove 300 is recessed on one side of the flat part of the tooling body 100. The outer periphery of the flat part of the tooling body 100 can be square, which makes it easier for the operator to hold and limit the position. More preferably, the positioning hole 200 is a straight hole. One end of the positioning hole 200 extends into the groove 300, and the other end extends to the side of the tooling body 100 facing away from the opening of the groove 300. The side of the tooling body 100 with the groove 300 is taken as the front side, and the side of the tooling body 100 opposite to the front side is taken as the back side. The positioning hole 200 is located on the back side of the tooling body 100, with one end extending straight to the back side, and the other end extending to the back side. The groove extends to the recess 300, thereby connecting the positioning hole 200 and the internal space of the recess 300. This allows the drill bit of a hand drill to easily penetrate the positioning hole 200 to drill holes in the chain plate. The depth of the recess 300 is the same as the thickness of the chain plate. After placing the chain plate in the recess 300, the outer side of the chain plate is flush with the opening side of the recess 300 of the tooling body 100. Then, the tooling body 100 is placed on the workbench with the chain plate facing down, so that the positioning hole 200 faces up, making it convenient for the drill bit of the hand drill to drill holes. Preferably, the flat side area of ​​the tooling body 100 is not less than twice the area of ​​the recess 300. That is, the area of ​​the flat shape of the tooling body 100 is not less than twice the area enclosed by the side wall of the recess 300, making the shape of the tooling body 100 large enough for the operator to hold and limit, making the holding and limiting of the tooling body 100 more convenient and stable.

[0029] Preferably, in one embodiment, the tooling body 100 is provided with a discharge groove, which extends to one end of the groove 300 corresponding to the positioning hole 200. In this embodiment, the internal space of the groove 300 can be connected to the outside through the discharge groove. After the chain plate is placed in the groove 300, one end of the groove 300 corresponding to the positioning hole 200 can be connected to the external space through the discharge groove, thereby facilitating the discharge of debris generated during drilling and avoiding the accumulation of debris that would cause inconvenience in drilling.

[0030] In this embodiment, the groove 300 has a bottom wall, and the unloading channel includes a first section 401 and a second section 402. The first section 401 and the second section 402 are interconnected. The first section 401 is disposed on the bottom wall of the groove 300 and extends to one end of the groove 300 corresponding to the positioning hole 200. The second section 402 is disposed on the side wall of the groove 300 and extends to the opening side of the groove 300. In this embodiment, the tooling body 100 has a flat structure, and the groove 300 is recessed on one side of the flat side of the tooling body 100. The groove 300 has a bottom wall and a side wall, and the side wall of the groove 300 constitutes a sealing surface. The unloading channel includes a first section 401 and a second section 402, and both the first section 401 and the second section 402 have an extension length. The first section 401 and the second section 402 are connected. The first section 401 extends to the bottom wall of the groove 300. One end of the first section 401 is the end of the groove 300 corresponding to the positioning hole 200. The other end of the first section 401 extends to the side wall of the groove 300 and is connected to one end of the second section 402. The second section 402 is set on the side wall of the groove 300. The other end of the second section 402 extends to the opening side of the groove 300. After the chain plate is placed in the groove 300, under the action of the first section 401 and the second section 402, the end of the groove 300 corresponding to the positioning hole 200 is connected to the outside. When the drill bit is inserted into the positioning hole 200 to drill the chain plate, it is convenient for the debris to be discharged outward.

[0031] Preferably, the first segment 401 is disposed on the bottom wall of the groove 300, and the first segment 401 is recessed in the bottom wall of the groove 300. The second segment 402 is disposed on the side wall of the groove 300, and the second segment 402 is recessed in the side wall of the groove 300. One end of the positioning hole 200 extends to the back side of the tooling body 100, and the other end of the positioning hole 200 extends to the bottom wall of the groove 300. The end of the positioning hole 200 that extends straight to the bottom wall of the groove 300 is taken as the inner end, and the other end of the positioning hole 200 is taken as the outer end. One end of the first segment 401 extends from the bottom wall of the groove 300 to the positioning hole 200. Around the inner end, the other end of the first section 401 extends to the side wall of the groove 300 and connects with one end of the second section 402. The other end of the second section 402 extends along the side wall of the groove 300 to the opening side edge of the groove 300. The extension direction of the second section 402 is perpendicular to the bottom wall of the groove 300. In this way, the effective extension length of the second section 402 is minimized, and the discharge of debris is smoother. After the chain plate is placed in the groove 300, a channel structure is formed between the inner end of the positioning hole 200 and the outside, so that the debris generated by drilling can be discharged outward, and the drilling is smoother.

[0032] In some embodiments, there are multiple positioning holes 200, and the number of unloading grooves is the same as the number of positioning holes 200. Each positioning hole 200 corresponds to one unloading groove so that debris can be discharged at each drilling position. Preferably, there are two positioning holes 200, which can be drilled on the chain plate.

[0033] More preferably, a chamfer 500 is provided on the tooling body 100 at the position corresponding to the opening edge of the groove 300, so that the groove 300 is flared out. That is, the opening edge of the groove 300 is chamfered 500, which makes it easier for the chain plate to be placed in the groove 300.
