[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The special-shaped product cigarette small box strip feeding device of the embodiment includes a work platform 1, a lower plate lifting mechanism 2, a push package mechanism 4, a package supporting mechanism 5, a package supporting lifting mechanism 6, a package lifting mechanism 7, and an elastic clamping member 8.

[0039] In the work platform 1, the upper plate 11 is a fixed member, and the lower plate 12 is arranged parallel below the upper plate 11 and can be vertically lifted by the lower plate lifting mechanism 2, or lifted to the highest position, or lowered to the lowest position;

[0040] The lower plate 12 is provided with a small box into strip station at the right end, and a push package mechanism 4 at the left side. When the lower plate 12 is at the highest position, a plurality of cigarette packages matched with the box 9 are sent into the lower plate 12 by the cigarette package input channel 3 connected with the lower plate 12. The plurality of cigarette packages are located between the push package mechanism 4 and the small box into strip station, and can be horizontally pushed by the push package mechanism 4 along the left-right direction to the clamping cavity 82 of the elastic clamping member 8 in the small box into strip station. The clamping cavity 82 is vertically and horizontally through, and has a large upper part and a small lower part. The plurality of cigarette packages in the clamping cavity 82 are clamped as a whole by the elastic force of the pair of elastic plates 81. The bottom of the plurality of cigarette packages in the clamping cavity 82 is supported by the package supporting tongue 52 of the package supporting mechanism 5, and the top of the plurality of cigarette packages is downwardly contacted by the package pressing plate 74 of the package pressing lifting mechanism 7 and clamped vertically between the package pressing plate 74 and the package supporting tongue 52. The box 9 is located at the small box into strip station and directly below the clamping cavity 82. When the lower plate 12 is lowered from the highest position to the lowest position, the package supporting mechanism 5 is driven to be lifted by the package supporting lifting mechanism 6 and the package pressing plate 74 is driven to be lifted by the package pressing lifting mechanism 7, so that the plurality of cigarette packages clamped by the package supporting tongue 52 and the package pressing plate 74 are lowered synchronously with the lower plate 12. When the lower plate 12 reaches the lowest position, the pair of elastic plates 81 extends downward to the bottom and is inserted into the box 9 directly below. The package supporting tongue 52 of the package supporting mechanism 5 is retracted, the plurality of cigarette packages are clamped in the clamping cavity 82 by the elastic force of the pair of elastic plates 81, and the plurality of cigarette packages are pressed downward into the box 9 by the continuous lowering of the package pressing plate 74 to realize the small box into strip.

[0041] In specific implementation, the corresponding structure of the device also includes:

[0042] The whole is made of stainless steel.

[0043] The plurality of cigarette packages are sent into the lower plate 12 in groups. Each group of cigarette packages is neatly arranged according to the size of the space in the box 9 and the length of the box 9. This step can be manually operated or automatically operated.

[0044] The push package mechanism 4 is arranged at the upper end of the left side of the lower plate 12 and is lifted synchronously with the lower plate 12. The push package plate 42 is driven by the push package cylinder 41 to be horizontally displaced along the left-right direction under the drive of the push package column 43. When the push package plate 42 is horizontally displaced to the right, the push package plate 42 pushes the plurality of cigarette packages into the clamping cavity 82. The push package column 43 is horizontally arranged along the left-right direction, and the push package plate 42 is sleeved on the push package column 43.

[0045] The bag supporting mechanism 5 is independent of the working platform 1 and the bag lifting mechanism 6, and is located below the lower plate 12. The bag supporting mechanism 5 is driven by the bag lifting mechanism 6 to be lifted as a whole. The bag supporting mechanism 5 is driven by the bag cylinder 51 to drive the bag supporting tongue 52 to move horizontally along the left-right direction under the driving of the bag supporting column 53. When the bag supporting tongue 52 is horizontally moved to the right, the bag supporting tongue 52 supports the whole bottom of the plurality of cigarette packets in the clamping cavity 82. The bag supporting column 53 is arranged horizontally along the left-right direction, and the bag supporting tongue 52 is arranged on the bag supporting column 53.

[0046] The bag lifting mechanism 6 is driven by the bag servo motor 61 and is driven by the synchronous belt transmission mechanism 62 (the synchronous belt is not shown in the figure). The driven pulley shaft of the synchronous belt transmission mechanism 62 is vertical and coaxially connected with the bag screw rod 63, drives the vertical bag screw rod 63 to rotate, and drives the bag nut 64 sleeved on the bag screw rod 63 to lift. The bag supporting mechanism 5 is installed on the bag nut 64 and is lifted synchronously with the bag nut 64.

[0047] The bag lifting mechanism 7 is installed on the right upper end of the lower plate 12 and is driven by the bag servo motor 71. The bag screw rod 72 coaxially connected with the output shaft of the motor is vertically connected and rotated, and the bag nut 73 sleeved on the bag screw rod 72 is lifted. The bag plate 74 is installed on the bag nut 73 and is lifted synchronously with the bag nut 73.

[0048] The clamping cavity 82 between the pair of elastic plates 81 of the elastic clamping member 8 is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid. When the lower plate 12 is in the highest position, a 5mm gap is vertically left between the lower plate 12 and the lower carton 9. When the lower plate 12 is in the lowest position, the elastic plates 81 are inserted into the carton opening of the carton 9 by 5mm. The elastic plates 81 are stainless steel plates.

[0049] The displacement of the lower plate 12 from the highest position to the lowest position is 10mm.

[0050] The lower plate lifting mechanism 2 is a cylinder, and the cylinder execution end is connected with the lower plate.

[0051] Working process example:

[0052] When working, the working platform is at the highest position. When a cigarette, for example, ten cigarette packets, is sent into the lower plate from the cigarette packet input channel and reaches the front of the push plate extension direction, the lower packet supporting air cylinder drives the packet supporting tongue to extend forward first, and then the push air cylinder drives the push plate to push the ten cigarette packets into the small box input position, into the clamping cavity, and back to the push plate after reaching the position. At this time, the cigarette packets will not fall off because the packet supporting tongue supports the lower part of the cigarette packets. The lower plate lifting mechanism drives the lower plate of the working platform to descend. At the same time, the packet supporting mechanism is driven by the packet supporting lifting mechanism to be lifted, and the packet pressing plate is driven by the packet pressing lifting mechanism to be lifted, so that the cigarette packets clamped by the packet supporting tongue and the packet pressing plate are kept synchronous with the lower plate. When the lower plate descends 10 mm to the lowest position, the packet supporting tongue and the packet pressing plate stop descending, and the packet supporting tongue retracts. Due to the elastic force of the elastic plate, the ten cigarette packets will not fall down. After the packet supporting tongue retracts, the packet pressing lifting mechanism continues to start, so that the packet pressing plate continues to move downward and pushes the ten cigarette packets into the empty cigarette box. When the cigarette packets are pushed into the position, the lower plate moves up, the packet supporting tongue and the packet pressing plate rise to the initial position, and the device is reset to the initial position. The above process is repeated.

[0053] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, those skilled in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
