Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cigarette production technology, and in particular to a cigarette pack conveying chute. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette manufacturing process, cigarettes are packaged into small boxes, then the small boxes are packaged into cartons, and finally the cartons are packaged into boxes. Currently, in the workshop, after the small boxes are packaged into cartons, the output position of the cartons is not convenient for operators to handle the boxing operation. Special personnel are needed to transfer the cartons from the output position to a special workbench, where operators can then package the cartons into boxes. As a result, the entire process of packaging cartons into boxes is quite cumbersome, involves high manual labor intensity, and is not conducive to improving packaging efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a cigarette conveying chute that can conveniently transfer cigarettes from their output position to the worktable, so that operators can perform box packaging operations, thereby effectively solving the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a cigarette conveying chute, comprising:

[0005] The slide body has an inlet and an outlet. The cigarette enters the slide body through the inlet and is discharged through the outlet.

[0006] Along the direction of the slide body, the slide body is at least partially curved in a single direction. The outlet of the slide body faces a different direction than the inlet of the slide body, and the height of the outlet of the slide body is lower than the height of the inlet of the slide body.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the slide body includes a straight section and an arc-shaped section that bends in one direction, the straight section being vertically arranged, and the bottom end of the arc-shaped section being connected to the top end of the straight section.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the bending angle of the arc segment does not exceed 90 degrees.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the slide body includes two opposing outer shells arranged side by side along the direction of the slide body.

[0010] In some possible implementations, along the direction of the slide body, the outer shell includes a back side, a front side, and an outer side, which are enclosed, and the back side is connected to the outer side and the front side.

[0011] In some possible implementations, a connecting component is provided between the two back sides to allow for an adjustable connection between the back sides, so as to adjust the width of the slide body.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the width of the back side is greater than the width of the front side, and the two front sides are spaced apart to allow the internal cavity of the slide body to communicate with the outside.

[0013] In some possible implementations, both the front end corresponding to the slide body inlet and the outer end corresponding to the slide body inlet are bent outwards, so that the slide body inlet is flared.

[0014] In some possible implementations, a brush is provided at the outlet of the slide body, and the bristles of the brush extend into the internal cavity of the slide body.

[0015] In some possible implementations, a bracket is also included, which is connected to the slide body. The slide body is supported on a preset platform by the bracket, and a gap for the smoke discharge is provided between the outlet of the slide body and the preset platform.

[0016] According to the cigarette conveying chute provided in the embodiments of this application, the chute body is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the chute body can be set at the output position of the cigarette pack, and the outlet of the chute body can be set at the work table. Thus, after the small box is packaged into a cigarette pack, the cigarette pack can be directly and conveniently transferred to the work table under the action of the chute body, which is convenient for operators to package the cigarette packs into boxes without the need for personnel to transfer the cigarette packs, which helps to reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve the overall packaging efficiency. Moreover, the chute body is partially arc-shaped, which makes the sliding of the cigarette pack in the chute body more stable. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a cigarette conveying chute, which is applied in the packaging process of a cigarette factory, preferably for the transfer of cigarette cartons. The cartons are transferred to a dedicated workbench, where personnel then perform the carton packaging operation. In previous carton packaging processes, after the small boxes were packaged into cartons, the cartons were output from the output end. This output position was not convenient for carton packaging, requiring personnel to manually transfer the cartons to the workbench for carton packaging. Therefore, the entire process involved a large amount of manual transfer of cigarette cartons, high labor intensity, and was quite cumbersome, resulting in low overall carton packaging efficiency. The cigarette conveying chute of this application aims to achieve the transfer of cigarette cartons directly from the output end to the dedicated workbench, eliminating the manual transfer step, reducing labor intensity, and improving the overall carton packaging efficiency.

[0022] The cigarette conveying chute includes a chute body with an internal cavity for the cigarette packs to slide through. The chute body has an inlet 101 and an outlet 102. The cigarette packs enter the internal cavity through the inlet 101 and then slide through the cavity to the outlet 102 for discharge. In use, the chute body is positioned between the cigarette output end and the work surface, with the inlet 101 at the output end so that the output cigarette packs can enter the internal cavity through the inlet 101. The outlet 102 is located at the work surface, allowing the cigarette packs to be conveyed there for packaging. In this embodiment, the chute body facilitates the movement of the cigarette packs from the output end to the work surface, eliminating manual labor and reducing workload, thus improving the efficiency of cigarette pack packaging.

[0023] Preferably, along the direction of the slide body, the slide body is at least partially curved in a single direction. The single-direction curvature means that the curved area bends to one side, and the curved area is part of a circular ring. The single-direction curved area can provide a certain buffering effect for the sliding of the cigarette pack, while ensuring that the cigarette pack slides smoothly. In addition, the outlet 102 of the slide body faces a different direction than the inlet 101 of the slide body, and the height of the outlet 102 of the slide body is lower than the height of the inlet 101 of the slide body, so that the cigarette pack slides smoothly in the slide body.

[0024] In one embodiment, the slide body includes a straight section 201 and a curved section 202 that bends in one direction. The straight section 201 is vertically arranged, and the bottom end of the curved section 202 is connected to the top end of the straight section 201. The bottom end of the straight section 201 forms the outlet 102 of the slide body, and the top end of the curved section 202 forms the inlet 101 of the slide body. Thus, the straight section 201 is vertically positioned at the bottom, one end of the curved section 202 is connected to the top end of the straight section 201, and the other end of the curved section 202 is inclined upward and curved upward, with the arc pointing upward, which facilitates connection with the cigarette output end so that the cigarettes at the cigarette output end can enter the inlet 101 of the slide body. Preferably, the bending angle of the curved section 202 does not exceed 90 degrees to prevent the cigarettes from getting stuck at the curved section 202 and to facilitate the smooth sliding of the cigarettes.

[0025] In this embodiment, when installing the slide body, the inlet 101 of the slide body is located below the cigarette output end, and the outlet 102 is located above the work surface. The cigarettes from the cigarette output end fall downward into the inlet 101 of the slide body, and then rely on the gravity of the cigarettes to slide from the slide body to the outlet 102, and then slide to the work surface. The transfer of the cigarettes to the work surface can be completed solely by gravity, which is convenient.

[0026] More preferably, the slide body includes two opposing outer shells. Along the direction of the slide body, the two outer shells are arranged side by side and are symmetrical to each other. That is, the vertical plane containing the center line of the cross-sectional width of the slide body is taken as the first plane, and the two outer shells are symmetrical with respect to the first plane. In this way, the slide body is divided into two symmetrical parts, which makes it easier to manufacture.

[0027] In this embodiment, along the overall direction of the slide body, the outer shell includes a back side 301, a front side 302, and an outer side 303. The back side 301, front side 302, and outer side 303 are arranged in an enclosing shape. The back side 301 is connected to the front side 302 through the outer side 303. The back side 301 and the front side 302 are parallel. One side of the back side 301 is perpendicularly connected to one side of the outer side 303, and the other side of the outer side 303 is perpendicularly connected to one side of the front side 302, forming a shell-like structure with a three-sided cross-section and an opening on one side. The back side 301 is the side where the inner side of the arc-shaped segment 202 is located, and the front side 302 is the side where the outer side of the arc-shaped segment 202 is located. The two outer sides 303 correspond to the two outer sides in the width direction of the slide body. In this way, the side openings of the two outer shells form a slide-like structure, and the two ends of the length of the cigarette are restricted to slide within the internal space of the two outer shells.

[0028] More preferably, a connecting component 400 is provided between the back sides 301 of the two outer shells, so that the two outer shells are connected by the connecting component 400. One end of the connecting component 400 is connected to the back side 301 of one of the outer shells, and the other end of the connecting component 400 is connected to the back side 301 of the other outer shell, so that the back sides 301 are adjustablely connected, thereby allowing the two outer shells to be adjusted to adjust the width of the slide body. In this embodiment, the connecting component 400 may include a connecting plate with an oblong groove. The connecting plate and the back side 301 are connected by screws or other connectors, thereby allowing the spacing in the width direction between the two outer shells to be adjusted, thereby allowing the width of the space formed between the two outer shells for the cigarette to slide to accommodate products of various specifications.

[0029] More preferably, the width of the back side 301 is greater than the width of the front side 302. In the width direction of the slide body, the size of the back side 301 is greater than the size of the front side 302. The two front sides 302 are spaced apart, so that the internal cavity of the slide body is connected to the outside. In this embodiment, there is a gap between the two front sides 302 of the two shells. Through this gap, the condition of the cigarette pack inside can be easily observed, and the cigarette pack can be easily touched to observe whether the cigarette pack is blocked and to deal with the blockage in time, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0030] More preferably, the front side 302 corresponding to one end of the slide body inlet 101 and the outer side 303 corresponding to one end of the slide body inlet 101 are both bent outwards, so that the slide body inlet 101 is flared. This makes it easier for the cigarettes at the cigarette output end to fall into the inlet 101, and the cigarette delivery is smoother.

[0031] In some embodiments, a first brush 500 is provided at the outlet 102 of the slide body. The bristles of the first brush 500 extend into the internal cavity of the slide body. When the cigarette pack slides and is conveyed inside the slide body, the cigarette pack is contacted by the bristles of the first brush 500 near the outlet 102 of the slide body, which slows down the cigarette pack and prevents it from falling off at high speed and causing damage to its appearance.

[0032] More preferably, the cigarette conveying chute further includes a support 600, which is connected to the chute body. The chute body is supported on a preset platform by the support 600. A gap for discharging cigarettes is provided between the outlet 102 of the chute body and the preset platform. In this embodiment, the support 600 is provided. Preferably, the support 600 is connected to the straight section 201, and the straight section 201 is raised by the support 600, so that the bottom end of the straight section 201 is raised. In this embodiment, two supports 600 are provided, respectively located on both sides of the width of the bottom end of the straight section 201, to improve the stability of the support. In addition, in practice, on the straight section 201... At the bottom of section 01, in the gap between the bottom of the straight section 201 and the worktable, a conveyor belt or other components can be installed to promptly transport the cigarette packs that have fallen from the straight section 201 onto the worktable, so that operators can package the cigarette packs into boxes. At the same time, this prevents the cigarette packs from becoming congested. When the conveyor belt is used to transport the cigarette packs from the bottom of the straight section 201 outwards, in order to improve the uniformity of the movement of the cigarette packs, a second brush 700 can be installed on one side of the straight section 201. The bristles of the second brush 700 face downwards, so that the cigarette packs can come into contact with the bristles of the second brush 700 when they are transported on the conveyor belt, making the movement of the cigarette packs more stable and uniform.
