[0044] The outer layer of the cigarette rod is generally wrapped with a shrink film. In order to prevent the appearance from being loose and wrinkled during the wrapping process, which may result in poor appearance quality of the cigarette rod and affect the product image, the cigarette rod usually needs to be transported to a shaping station, and the shrink film is heated and ironed flat by the upper and lower irons of the shaping station. After the shaping is completed, the cigarette rod is usually taken out manually and prevented from being continuously conveyed on the downstream conveying belt. However, manual operation cannot accurately control the time, and the shrink film may be damaged due to too long residence time, or the ironing may not be flat due to too short residence time; and manual operation has certain safety risks, and the operator may be scalded.

[0045] To solve the above problems, as shown in Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a conveying device. The conveying device is used for conveying the cigarette rod 100 downstream of the shaping station 4, and the conveying device comprises a driving assembly and a clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism is arranged at the output end of the driving assembly, and the driving assembly is configured to drive the clamping mechanism to move along the conveying direction of the cigarette rod 100; the clamping mechanism comprises at least two clamping assemblies 21, the at least two clamping assemblies 21 are arranged on both sides of the shaping station 4, and the two clamping assemblies 21 can approach or move away from each other to clamp or release the cigarette rod 100 located at the shaping station 4. Wherein, Figure 1 The arrow X in the figure is the conveying direction of the cigarette rod 100.

[0046] The driving assembly is the power source of the conveying device, which is responsible for driving the clamping mechanism to move along the conveying direction of the cigarette rod 100, so as to ensure that the clamping mechanism can move accurately and stably; the plurality of clamping assemblies 21 arranged on both sides of the shaping station 4 can approach or move away from each other to clamp or release the cigarette rod 100, so as to ensure that the clamping and releasing actions are accurate and timely. After the shaping is completed, the cigarette rod 100 at the shaping station 4 can be conveyed to the downstream in time. The conveying device can realize automation of the conveying process of the cigarette rod 100 from the shaping station 4 to the downstream conveying belt, reduce the time of manual operation, and improve the production efficiency; the residence time of the cigarette rod 100 at the shaping station 4 can be accurately controlled, so as to avoid the shrink film being damaged due to too long residence time, or the ironing being not flat due to too short residence time, thereby ensuring the appearance quality of the cigarette rod 100; manual operation is reduced, the risk of the operator being scalded is reduced, the safety of the working environment is improved, and the labor cost is reduced.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that the number of clamping assemblies 21 is determined by actual demand, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitation, but it should be noted that at least one clamping assembly 21 needs to be arranged on both sides of the shaping station 4. For example, as shown in Figure 1 The clamping assemblies 21 in the present embodiment are two, and the two clamping assemblies 21 are respectively located on both sides of the shaping station 4, so as to be able to approach or move away from each other to clamp or release the cigarette rod 100.

[0048] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 The clamping assembly 21 includes a first driving member 211 and a clamping member 212. The first driving member 211 is arranged at the output end of the driving assembly and is configured to drive the clamping member 212 to move. The first driving member 211 can drive the clamping member 212 to move so that the clamping member 212 moves towards or away from the direction of the other clamping assembly 21 to achieve clamping or loosening of the tobacco rod 100. The driving assembly drives the clamping assembly 21 to the shaping station 4. When the tobacco rod 100 is shaped, the first driving member 211 drives the clamping member 212 to move towards the tobacco rod 100, so that the clamping members 212 on both sides of the tobacco rod 100 firmly clamp the tobacco rod 100. Then the driving assembly drives the clamping assembly 21 to move, so as to convey the tobacco rod 100 from the shaping station 4 to the downstream conveying belt. After reaching the downstream conveying belt, the first driving member 211 drives the clamping member 212 to move away from the tobacco rod 100 to complete the conveying process. Finally, the driving assembly drives the clamping assembly 21 to return to the shaping station 4, preparing for the next transportation.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first driving member 211 is an electric motor, and in other embodiments, the first driving member 211 is a pneumatic cylinder. It should be noted that any driving mechanism capable of driving the clamping member 212 to move in the prior art can be used as the first driving member 211 in the present embodiment, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0050] Specifically, the side of the clamping member 212 facing the tobacco rod 100 is provided with an anti-slip layer. The anti-slip layer can significantly increase the friction between the clamping member 212 and the tobacco rod 100, prevent the tobacco rod 100 from slipping or falling off during the conveying process, and ensure the stability of the tobacco rod 100 during the clamping and conveying process.

[0051] In some embodiments, the anti-slip layer is made of rubber or silicone material. At this time, the anti-slip layer has softness and elasticity, which can avoid leaving marks or damage on the surface of the tobacco rod 100.

[0052] In other embodiments, an anti-slip coating is applied to the side of the clamping member 212 facing the tobacco rod 100 to form the anti-slip layer.

[0053] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 The clamping mechanism further includes a mounting plate 22, and a plurality of clamping assemblies 21 are detachably fixed to the mounting plate 22. The mounting plate 22 is arranged at the output end of the driving assembly. The clamping assembly 21 is detachably fixed to the mounting plate 22, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the clamping assembly 21. Different clamping assemblies 21 can be replaced according to different clamping requirements, or different numbers of clamping assemblies 21 can be arranged.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the driving assembly includes second driving members 11 arranged on both sides of the shaping station 4, which are used to drive the clamping assembly 21 to move along the conveying direction of the cigarette rod 100. It can be understood that the two second driving members 11 are used to drive the clamping assembly 21 located on both sides of the shaping station 4, respectively. In some embodiments, the second driving member 11 is a motor, and in other embodiments, the second driving member 11 is a pneumatic cylinder. It should be noted that the driving mechanism capable of driving the clamping member 212 to move in the prior art can be used as the second driving member 11 in the present embodiment, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The conveying device further includes a guide assembly 3 for guiding the movement of the clamping mechanism along the conveying direction of the cigarette rod 100. The guide assembly 3 can limit the movement direction of the clamping mechanism, ensure its linear movement along the conveying direction of the cigarette rod 100, and avoid deviation or shaking to improve the accuracy of the movement of the clamping mechanism.

[0056] It should be noted that, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The number of guide assemblies 3 is two, and the two guide assemblies 3 respectively provide guidance for the clamping assemblies 21 arranged on both sides of the shaping station 4.

[0057] It is worth mentioning that the conveying device is arranged on a mounting plane. Specifically, the mounting plane is a rack.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the guide assembly 3 includes a slidingly matched sliding rail and a sliding block, the sliding rail extends along the conveying direction of the cigarette rod 100, and one side of the clamping mechanism and the mounting plane is provided with the sliding rail, and the other side is provided with the sliding block. The sliding cooperation of the sliding rail and the sliding block ensures the linear movement of the clamping mechanism and avoids deviation or shaking during movement.

[0059] In another optional embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The guide assembly 3 includes an L-shaped guide rail 31, a first limiting member 32 and a second limiting member 33. The L-shaped guide rail 31 extends along the conveying direction of the cigarette rod 100, and the L-shaped guide rail 31 includes a first part 311 and a second part 312, the first part 311 is fixed to the mounting plane, and the second part 312 is perpendicular to the mounting plane; the first limiting member 32 and the second limiting member 33 are arranged on the clamping mechanism, the first limiting member 32 abuts against the side wall of the second part 312, and the second limiting member 33 abuts against the top wall of the second part 312. The L-shaped guide rail 31 is stably fixed to the mounting plane through the first part 311, and the displacement of the clamping mechanism in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is limited through the first limiting member 32 and the second limiting member 33, so that the clamping mechanism can move along the extension direction of the L-shaped guide rail 31, thereby realizing the guiding function.

[0060] In the embodiment, the first limiting member 32 and the second limiting member 33 are both bearings. The rolling friction of the bearings is far less than the sliding friction, which can significantly reduce the frictional resistance between the clamping mechanism and the L-shaped guide rail 31, so that the movement of the clamping mechanism is smoother.

[0061] The embodiment also provides a cigarette rod shaping system, as shown in the drawings. Figure 1 The cigarette rod shaping system comprises the conveying device, the shaping station 4, a feeding assembly and a conveying belt.
