[0041] The existing packaging equipment and technology are often suitable for traditional rectangular cigarette rod packaging, and are not capable for square cigarette rod packaging, and often due to the longer transparent paper at both ends, the traditional mechanical forming is prone to wrinkle phenomenon.

[0042] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment provides a cigarette rod transparent paper folding assembly for folding the transparent paper of square cigarette rod, the cigarette rod transparent paper folding assembly in the embodiment is specially designed for packaging square specification cigar rod transparent paper, which can effectively adapt to the packaging demand of square cigarette rod, and the end face folding is completed twice in the folding process, avoiding the end face wrinkle problem, improving the packaging efficiency and aesthetic degree.In other embodiments, the cigarette rod transparent paper folding assembly can also be used for packaging the transparent paper of other square cigarette rod.

[0043] As Figures 1-4As shown, the cigarette transparent paper folding assembly comprises a forming channel 1, and the main function of the forming channel 1 is to convey and guide the cigarette 100, to ensure that the cigarette 100 is conveyed to the folding station according to the preset movement track, and smoothly transitions to the next process, which improves the automation degree and production efficiency of the packaging line (it should be noted that the conveying mechanism is arranged in the forming channel 1, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described here). Folding assemblies are arranged on both sides of the forming channel 1 for folding the upper transparent paper 200 and the lower transparent paper 300 at both ends of the cigarette 100. The folding assembly comprises a first folding plate 2, a second folding plate 3 and a third folding plate 4 arranged in sequence along the transmission direction of the cigarette 100, a first folding channel 5 is formed between the first folding plate 2 and the second folding plate 3, which is inclined from bottom to top to the third folding plate 4; a second folding channel 6 is formed between the second folding plate 3 and the third folding plate 4, the second folding channel 6 comprises a pre-folding channel 61 and a folding channel 62 located below the pre-folding channel 61 and connected with the pre-folding channel 61, and the upper part of the third folding plate 4 is folded away from the forming channel 1 to form the pre-folding channel 61 with the second folding plate 3, and the folding channel 62 is arranged from bottom to top to the first folding plate 2.

[0044] During the forward movement of the cigarette 100 in the forming channel 1, the lower transparent paper 300 is folded through the first folding channel 5; the second folding channel 6 is formed between the second folding plate 3 and the third folding plate 4, the second folding channel 6 comprises a pre-folding channel 61 and a folding channel 62, the upper transparent paper 200 can be pre-folded through the pre-folding channel 61, and then the upper transparent paper 200 is completely folded through the folding channel 62, and this folding method can solve the problem of transparent paper folding.

[0045] The cigarette transparent paper folding assembly in the embodiment ensures the accuracy and efficiency of the cigarette 100 packaging through the cooperation of the forming channel 1, the first folding channel 5 and the second folding channel 6.

[0046] Specifically, the side of the third folding plate 4 facing the second folding plate 3 is inclined from bottom to top to the first folding plate 2, and the upper part of the side of the third folding plate 4 facing the second folding plate 3 is folded away from the forming channel 1 to form a folding plate 41, the folding plate 41 and the second folding plate 3 form a pre-folding channel 61 to facilitate pre-folding of the upper transparent paper 200; and the above-mentioned third folding plate 4 is simple in structure and easy to prepare.

[0047] In the embodiment, the folding plate 41 is folded away from the forming channel 1 along the vertical line, so that the folding plate 41 is easy to prepare, so that the folding plate 41 and the second folding plate 3 form a pre-folding channel 61; the above-mentioned setting can make the top surface of the entire third folding plate 4 in the same horizontal plane, which not only has a more beautiful appearance, but also will not scratch the operator.

[0048] In this embodiment, the folding plate 41 folds at an angle of 10° to 30° in the direction away from the forming channel 1, for example, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, etc. The folding plate 41 at the above angle can pre-fold the upper transparent paper 200 by about 45°, and then fold it by another about 45° through the folding channel 62, thereby realizing the step-by-step folding of the entire upper transparent paper 200, resulting in a better folding effect.

[0049] In this embodiment, both the first folding channel 5 and the flipping channel 62 are straight structures. This simple structure enables the folding of the cigarette pack's transparent paper. Preferably, the angle between the first folding channel 5 and the flipping channel 62 and the horizontal plane ranges from 10° to 30°, for example, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, etc. This simple structure is easy to manufacture and allows the transparent paper to be folded smoothly through the flipping channel 62, avoiding wrinkles.

[0050] Specifically, the side of the second folding plate 3 facing the third folding plate 4 tilts from bottom to top toward the first folding plate 2 at an angle of 10° to 30°. The portion of the third folding plate 4 facing the second folding plate 3 and located below the folding plate 41 tilts from bottom to top toward the first folding plate 2 at an angle of 10° to 30°. The sides of the second folding plate 3 and the third folding plate 4 facing each other are parallel, and a folding channel 62 is formed between them. The side of the second folding plate 3 facing the first folding plate 2 tilts from bottom to top toward the third folding plate 4 at an angle of 10° to 30°. The side of the first folding plate 2 facing the second folding plate 3 tilts from bottom to top toward the second folding plate 3 at an angle of 10° to 30°. The sides of the second folding plate 3 and the first folding plate 2 facing each other are parallel, and a first folding channel 5 is formed between them.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower side of the second folding plate 3 is lower than the lower side of the first folding plate 2, which allows the lower transparent paper 300 to smoothly enter the first folding channel 5.

[0052] Furthermore, the forming channel 1 includes a base plate 11, a second folding plate 3 disposed on the base plate 11, and a gap between the first folding plate 2 and the base plate 11 to form an entrance channel 7 connected to the first folding channel 5. The entrance channel 7 can guide the lower transparent paper 300, allowing it to smoothly enter the first folding channel 5.

[0053] Preferably, the top surfaces of the first folding plate 2, the second folding plate 3, and the third folding plate 4 are flush, making the entire folding assembly aesthetically pleasing; and also preventing the top of the folding assembly from scratching the operator.

[0054] The folding process of the transparent paper at both ends of cigarette stick 100:

[0055] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, after entering the forming channel 1, the cigarette rod 100 is transported to the position of the first folding channel 5, and since the first folding channel 5 is inclined upward, the lower transparent paper 300 is gradually folded in the first folding channel 5 along with the movement of the cigarette rod 100. When the cigarette rod 100 passes through the first folding channel 5, the lower transparent paper 300 is completed folding and closely adheres to the surface of the cigarette rod 100.

[0056] As Figure 3 shown, after the folding of the lower transparent paper 300 is completed, the cigarette rod 100 continues to move to the pre-folding channel 61, and the upper transparent paper 200 is folded downward by about 45° through the pre-folding channel 61, and then enters the folding channel 62, and is folded again by about 45° through the folding channel 62, so as to closely adhere to the surface of the cigarette rod 100.

[0057] As Figure 4 shown, after the folding of the upper transparent paper 200 and the lower transparent paper 300 is completed, the cigarette rod 100 is finally sent out of the forming channel 1, marking the completion of the transparent paper packaging process (it should be noted that the transparent papers on the left and right sides of the cigarette rod 100 have been folded in the previous process).

[0058] The folding of the transparent paper by the cigarette transparent paper folding assembly has the following advantages:

[0059] 1. Improve the packaging quality: the 90° folding of the end surface of the transparent paper is divided into two times of folding, the first time is pre-folding by about 45°, and the second time is complete folding, so that the flexible folding can avoid the problem of transparent paper creases on the end surface of the cigar box.

[0060] 2. Improve the packaging efficiency: through the structural design of the cigarette transparent paper folding assembly, the cigarette rod 100 is realized to be quickly and automatically packaged, the manual intervention is reduced, and the packaging efficiency of the production line is greatly improved.

[0061] 3. Reduce the production cost: the improvement of the automation degree reduces the labor cost, and at the same time, due to the improvement of the packaging quality, the rework and waste caused by poor packaging are also reduced.

[0062] Obviously, the above embodiments of the utility model are only examples for clearly explaining the utility model, and are not the limitation of the embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary skilled in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustment and replacement can be made without departing from the protection scope of the utility model. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model claim.
