Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco packaging, and in particular to a special type of cigarette sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the sophisticated process of cigarette manufacturing and distribution, every step is closely linked to the personalized needs of the end consumer. Especially in the later stages of cigarette processing, to meet the unique preferences of diverse customers in the market, the production line must perform meticulous sorting and refined packaging of the cigarettes. This process is crucial because large quantities of cigarettes are often shipped out at once, requiring precise and accurate sorting based on the diversity and complexity of orders.

[0003] In this crucial stage, cigarette sorting generally relies on efficient and intelligent sorting machine systems. These sorting machines, with their powerful automation capabilities, have become the core equipment in the cigarette sorting process. Among them, push-out conveyor belts have gained widespread recognition for their smooth sorting paths and high sorting speeds.

[0004] However, despite their impressive performance and efficiency, these sorting machines face several challenges in practical applications. In particular, existing specialty cigarettes, whose sorting devices are directly modified from those used for regular cigarettes, require more sorting exits, necessitating improvements in floor space and integration. The need to configure multiple types of sorting channels to address diverse sorting needs not only increases equipment complexity and maintenance costs but also reduces overall efficiency in cigarette sorting to some extent. Therefore, optimizing the design and layout of sorting machines while maintaining sorting accuracy and efficiency has become a crucial issue that the cigarette manufacturing industry urgently needs to address. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in response to the above problems, this utility model proposes a special type of cigarette sorting device, which solves the technical problems of existing cigarette sorting equipment having a large footprint and unreasonable design layout.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a special type of cigarette sorting device, comprising a frame and a feeding device, an input conveyor belt, a sorting device, and two output devices for receiving the sorting device, all mounted on the frame according to the production line. The feeding device includes a conveying platform that can be raised and lowered on the frame, a lifting drive device for driving the conveying platform, and sorting devices on the left and right sides of the lifting platform. The conveying platform is provided with a conveying mechanism for conveying cigarette packs to the input conveyor belt. The sorting devices are used to clamp and sort the cigarette packs on the conveying platform. The sorting device is located on one side of the conveying direction of the input conveyor belt. The frame is provided with a transfer and pushing device for transferring cigarette packs from the input conveyor belt to the sorting device. The sorting device includes a receiving conveyor belt for receiving cigarette packs transferred from the input conveyor belt and a sorting mechanism for sorting the cigarette packs from the receiving conveyor belt into the output devices.

[0007] Furthermore, the sorting device includes a push cylinder mounted on the conveying platform and a sorting push plate that translates along the conveying platform. The piston rod of the push cylinder is connected to the sorting push plate to achieve drive.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple rollers are provided on the side of the two sorting push plates that are close to each other to reduce friction with the cigarette packs.

[0009] Furthermore, the transfer and pushing device includes an electric cylinder mounted on the frame and a pushing lever mounted on the slider of the electric cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism includes a sorting conveyor belt located on the side of the receiving conveyor belt away from the input conveyor belt and a deflector plate disposed on the sorting conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of the sorting devices is two, and the number of dial plates in each sorting device is two.

[0012] Furthermore, the distribution conveyor belt is covered with a layer of flexible material, which serves to buffer the cigarette packs after they enter the receiving conveyor belt.

[0013] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism is a platform conveyor belt mounted on the conveying platform, or a platform pusher plate mounted on one side of the conveying platform and a platform pusher cylinder that drives the platform pusher plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the horizontal height of the input conveyor belt is lower than the highest horizontal height of the conveyor platform, with a difference greater than 2mm and less than 20mm; the horizontal height of the input conveyor belt is higher than the horizontal height of the receiving conveyor belt, with a difference greater than 2mm and less than 20mm; and the horizontal height of the receiving conveyor belt is higher than the horizontal height of the output device, with a difference greater than 2mm and less than 20mm.

[0015] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This solution utilizes a reasonable layout to achieve a small footprint for the sorting device and facilitates operation. The vertically adjustable conveyor platform simplifies loading. Furthermore, it allows the entire cigarette sorting device to extend vertically, reducing its footprint. Additionally, a sorting device is included to ensure neatness during cigarette input and facilitate subsequent cigarette pushing. Attached Figure Description

[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 3This embodiment provides a special type of cigarette sorting device, including a frame and a feeding device, an input conveyor belt 2, a sorting device, and two output devices 4 for receiving the sorting device, all mounted on the frame according to the production line. The feeding device includes a conveyor platform 11 that can be raised and lowered on the frame, a lifting drive device 12 that drives the conveyor platform 11, and sorting devices 13 located on the left and right sides of the lifting platform. The conveyor platform 11 is provided with a conveying mechanism 14 for conveying cigarette packs to the input conveyor belt 2. The sorting device 13 is used to clamp and sort the cigarette packs on the conveyor platform 11. The sorting device is located on one side of the conveying direction of the input conveyor belt 2. The frame is provided with a transfer and pushing device for transferring cigarette packs on the input conveyor belt 2 to the sorting device. The sorting device includes a receiving conveyor belt 31 for receiving the transferred cigarette packs from the input conveyor belt 2 and a sorting mechanism for sorting the cigarette packs on the receiving conveyor belt 31 into the output devices 4.

[0024] This design utilizes a reasonable layout to achieve a small footprint for the sorting device while ensuring convenient operation. The vertically adjustable conveyor platform 11 simplifies loading. Furthermore, it allows the entire cigarette sorting device to extend vertically, further reducing its footprint. Additionally, a sorting device 13 ensures neatness during cigarette input and facilitates subsequent cigarette pushing.

[0025] The sorting device 13 includes a push cylinder 131 mounted on a conveying platform 11 and a sorting push plate 132 that translates along the conveying platform 11. The piston rod of the push cylinder 131 is connected to the sorting push plate 132 for driving. Multiple rollers 133 are provided on one side of the two sorting push plates 132 to reduce friction with the cigarette packs. The rollers 133 ensure rolling performance when holding the cigarette packs, providing better conveying conditions.

[0026] The transfer and pushing device includes an electric cylinder 51 mounted on the frame and a pushing lever 52 mounted on the slider of the electric cylinder 51. The electric cylinder 51 is mainly designed to reduce space occupation and make the layout more reasonable.

[0027] The sorting mechanism includes a sorting conveyor belt 321 located on the side of the receiving conveyor belt 31 away from the input conveyor belt 2, and two deflectors 322 disposed on the sorting conveyor belt 321. The sorting conveyor belt 321 is covered with a layer of flexible material 323, which can be sponge or rubber. The flexible material 323 is used to buffer the cigarette packs after they enter the receiving conveyor belt 31, and on the basis of buffering, it can also increase the stickiness of the cigarette packs, thereby achieving better stability when the cigarette packs are transported from the receiving conveyor belt 31 to the output device, and avoiding scattering or misalignment.

[0028] Among them, the lever 322 passes through the flexible material 323.

[0029] The conveying mechanism 14 is a platform conveyor belt provided on the conveying platform 11, or a platform pusher plate provided on one side of the conveying platform 11 and a platform pusher cylinder 131 that drives the platform pusher plate.

[0030] The horizontal height of the input conveyor belt 2 is lower than the highest horizontal height of the conveyor platform 11, with a difference greater than 2 mm and less than 20 mm. The horizontal height of the input conveyor belt 2 is higher than the horizontal height of the receiving conveyor belt 31, with a difference greater than 2 mm and less than 20 mm. The horizontal height of the receiving conveyor belt 31 is higher than the horizontal height of the output device 4, with a difference greater than 2 mm and less than 20 mm.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first baffle 41 and a second baffle 42 are provided on two sides of the output device. A buffer pad 43, made of sponge or rubber, is also provided on the side of the first baffle 41 near the side of the conveyor belt 31. An arc-shaped guide section 421 is provided on the side of the second baffle 42 near the side of the conveyor belt 31.

[0032] in, Figure 1 The arrows in the image indicate the direction in which the cigarette packs are conveyed.

[0033] The output device 4 is just a virtual designation; it can be a horizontal conveying mechanism, a vertical or inclined mechanism, or a stacking mechanism, etc.

[0034] See again Figure 4 This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that there are two sorting devices, which are respectively located on both sides of the input conveyor belt 2, and can be sorted using the same transfer and pushing device.

[0035] The aforementioned lifting drive device can be a pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder, or it can be replaced by other feasible mechanisms, such as a sprocket mechanism or a synchronous belt mechanism. The aforementioned driving cylinders and electric cylinders can also be replaced by hydraulic cylinders or other mechanisms capable of linear drive. The aforementioned conveying mechanism, input conveyor belt, receiving conveyor belt, sorting conveyor belt, and output device are all conventional conveyor belts.

[0036] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
