Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco processing technology, and in particular to a clamping mechanism for cigarette products. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette production process, cigarette products or cigarette accessories are usually transferred from the main conveyor line to multiple branch conveyor lines. These branch conveyor lines then deliver the cigarette products (cigarette products: cartons of cigarettes) and cigarette accessories to multiple cigarette product packaging stations or stations related to cigarette accessories. For example, when packing cartons of cigarettes of different brands, a clamp connected to the robotic arm at the junction of the main conveyor line and the branch conveyor line will clamp a carton of the same brand from the main conveyor line. The robotic arm will then move the clamp holding the carton to the branch conveyor line corresponding to that brand. The clamp will then place the carton on the branch conveyor line corresponding to the brand of the carton, and the branch conveyor line will then transport the carton to the corresponding brand carton packaging station for packaging.

[0003] Although the above clamp can achieve the process of clamping and releasing cigarettes, the clamp still has the following defects during use: (1) Since there are two driving jaws on the clamp frame of the clamp, which move away from each other and close to each other (two driving jaws: the first cylinder drives the first jaw, and the second cylinder drives the second jaw), the two cylinders will increase the overall weight of the clamp and increase the load on the robotic arm connected to the clamp; (2) Since the clamp uses a sensor to detect whether the two jaws have clamped the cigarettes in place, when the sensor malfunctions, the sensor cannot detect whether the two jaws have clamped the cigarettes in place and control the two driving jaws to stop clamping in time, resulting in the two jaws clamping the appearance of the cigarettes into a dent.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure of the clamp used to pick up cigarette packs in order to solve the problems of the existing clamps, which have two cylinders that drive the grippers, indirectly increasing the load on the robotic arm connected to the clamp, and the inability to control the two drive grippers to stop picking up the cigarette packs in time when the sensors that detect that the two grippers are holding the cigarette packs in place malfunction, resulting in the two grippers pinching the cigarette packs and causing them to dent. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a cigarette product clamping mechanism to solve the problems of existing clamps used for clamping cigarette cartons. These clamps have two cylinders that drive the grippers, which indirectly increase the load on the robotic arm connected to the clamp. Additionally, when the sensors that detect when the two grippers are holding the cigarette cartons in place malfunction, the two driving grippers cannot be controlled in time to stop clamping, resulting in the two grippers clamping the cigarette cartons and causing them to dent.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] The cigarette product clamping mechanism includes an L-shaped plate, a telescopic drive component, a guide assembly, cigarette pack clamping claws, and a cigarette pack clamping limiting component. The outer wall of the L-shaped plate is connected to the outer wall of the telescopic drive component, the drive end of the telescopic drive component is connected to the outer wall of the guide assembly, the inner wall of the guide assembly is slidably connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate, the guide grooves on the inner wall of the guide assembly are slidably connected to the guide posts on the two cigarette pack clamping claws, the tops of the two cigarette pack clamping claws are slidably connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate, and the cigarette pack clamping claw limiting component is disposed on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate near the telescopic drive component. The contact end of the cigarette pack clamping limiting component is in contact with and limited by the top of the guide assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the telescopic drive component is either a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder. The pneumatic cylinder is connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate via a connecting seat, and the piston rod on the pneumatic cylinder is connected to the top of the guide assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide assembly includes a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, and a guide groove; the outer wall of the first connecting plate is connected to the piston rod on the cylinder, the inner wall of the first connecting plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate, the outer wall of the first connecting plate is connected to the groove on the inner wall of the second connecting plate, and guide grooves are respectively opened on the inner wall of the second connecting plate, and the guide grooves are slidably connected to the guide posts on the two cigarette pack clamping claws.

[0010] Furthermore, a first sliding strip is provided on the inner wall of the first connecting plate, and the first sliding strip is slidably adapted to the first sliding groove connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the two guide grooves are arranged in an inward V-shape.

[0012] Furthermore, the cigarette pack clamping claw includes a guide post, an L-shaped moving plate, and a cigarette pack clamping arm; the guide post is slidably connected to the guide groove on the inner wall of the second connecting plate, the guide post is connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped moving plate, the second sliding groove connected to the top of the L-shaped moving plate is slidably connected to the second sliding strip connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate, and the side wall of the L-shaped moving plate is detachably connected to the inner wall of the cigarette pack clamping arm.

[0013] Furthermore, the cigarette pack clamping arm has an L-shaped structure.

[0014] Furthermore, a gap is reserved between the L-shaped movable plate and the second connecting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the cigarette pack clamping and limiting component includes a base and a limiting post; the base is disposed on the L-shaped outer wall near the cylinder, and the limiting post with external threads is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole on the base, and the end of the limiting post away from the base moves in contact with the top of the first connecting plate.

[0016] During operation, when the clamp is used to pick up the cigarette packs, the L-shaped plate in the clamp is welded to the execution end of the robotic arm. The robotic arm then moves the clamp to the main conveyor discharge end, and drives the telescopic drive to extend, causing the guide assembly to move vertically downward. Under the drive of the vertically moving guide assembly, the two guide grooves on the inner wall of the guide assembly respectively drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws connected to the guide column to open, so that the cigarette packs on the main conveyor line are located between the two cigarette pack clamping claws.

[0017] At this time, the telescopic drive component retracts, causing the guide component to move vertically upward. Under the influence of the upward-moving guide component, the two guide grooves on the inner wall of the guide component respectively drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws connected to the guide post to close, clamping the cigarette pack between the two cigarette pack clamping claws. During this clamping process, the cigarette pack clamping limiter on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate near the telescopic drive component will resist and limit the upward-moving guide component, preventing the guide grooves on the upward-moving guide component from continuing to drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws connected to the guide post to continue clamping the cigarette pack, thus avoiding the situation where the two cigarette pack clamping claws pinch the appearance of the cigarette pack into a dent.

[0018] When the two cigarette pack grippers hold the cigarette pack, the robotic arm moves the clamp holding the cigarette pack to the feed end of the diversion conveyor line. The telescopic drive then extends, causing the guide assembly to move vertically downward. Driven by the downward-moving guide assembly, the two guide grooves on the inner wall of the guide assembly open the two cigarette pack grippers connected to the guide post. The cigarette pack held between the grippers falls onto the diversion conveyor line, which then transports the cigarette pack to the corresponding brand carton packaging station for packaging.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This utility model relates to a cigarette product clamping mechanism composed of an L-shaped plate, a telescopic drive component, a guide assembly, cigarette pack clamping claws, and a cigarette pack clamping limiting component. In this mechanism, only one telescopic drive component (telescopic drive component: cylinder) drives the two cigarette pack clamping claws to perform the clamping / releasing of cigarette cartons or cigarette accessories. This not only reduces the overall weight of the cigarette product clamping mechanism but also indirectly reduces the load on the robotic arm connected to the mechanism. It solves the problem that existing clamps for gripping cigarette cartons have two cylinders driving the clamping claws, which indirectly increases the load on the robotic arm connected to the clamp.

[0021] 2. In the cigarette product clamping mechanism composed of an L-shaped plate, a telescopic drive component, a guide component, cigarette pack clamping claws, and a cigarette pack clamping limiting component, the cigarette pack clamping limiting component limits the upward-moving guide component. When the telescopic drive component retracts, it drives the guide component to move vertically upward. Under the influence of the upward-moving guide component, the two guide grooves on the inner wall of the guide component respectively drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws connected to the guide post to close. During the clamping process of the cigarette pack between the two cigarette pack clamping claws, the cigarette pack clamping limiting component on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate near the telescopic drive component resists and limits the upward-moving guide component, preventing the guide grooves on the upward-moving guide component from continuing to drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws connected to the guide post to continue clamping the cigarette pack. This solves the problem that when the sensor detecting the two claws clamping the cigarette pack malfunctions, it cannot promptly control the two drive claws to stop clamping, causing the two claws to clamp the cigarette pack with a dent.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] like Figure 1-10 As shown, to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0034] Example

[0035] The existing clamps for holding cigarette packs or tobacco accessories have the following defects during use: First, because the clamp has two driving jaws on the clamp frame (two driving jaws: the first cylinder drives the first jaw, and the second cylinder drives the second jaw), the two cylinders increase the overall weight of the clamp, increasing the load on the robotic arm connected to the clamp; Second, because the clamp uses sensors to detect whether the two jaws are holding the cigarette pack in place, when the sensors malfunction, they cannot detect whether the two jaws have held the cigarette pack in place and cannot control the two driving jaws to stop holding in time, resulting in the two jaws pinching the appearance of the cigarette pack indented.

[0036] Therefore, this application designs a cigarette product clamping mechanism to solve the problems of existing clamps used for clamping cigarette packs. These clamps have two cylinders that drive the grippers, which indirectly increase the load on the robotic arm connected to the clamp. Furthermore, when the sensors that detect when the two grippers are holding the cigarette pack in place malfunction, the two grippers cannot be controlled in time to stop clamping, resulting in the two grippers clamping the cigarette pack and causing it to dent.

[0037] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A cigarette product clamping mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 1, a telescopic drive component 2, a guide component 3, cigarette pack clamping claws 4, and a cigarette pack clamping limiting component 7. The outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1 is connected to the outer wall of the telescopic drive component 2, the driving end of the telescopic drive component 2 is connected to the outer wall of the guide component 3, the inner wall of the guide component 3 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1, the guide grooves 5 on the inner wall of the guide component 3 are slidably connected to the guide posts 6 on the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4, the tops of the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 are slidably connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1, and the cigarette pack clamping limiting component 7 is disposed on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1 near the telescopic drive component 2, and the contact end of the cigarette pack clamping limiting component 7 is in contact with and limited by the top of the guide component 3.

[0038] In practical applications, when using this clamp to grip the cigarette packs, the L-shaped plate 1 in the clamp is welded to the execution end of the robotic arm, and the clamp is moved to the main conveyor discharge end by the robotic arm. Then, the telescopic drive 2 is driven to extend, causing the guide assembly 3 to move vertically downward. Under the drive of the vertically moving guide assembly 3, the two guide grooves 5 on the inner wall of the guide assembly 3 respectively drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 connected to the guide post 6 to open, so that the cigarette packs on the main conveyor line are located between the two cigarette pack clamping claws.

[0039] At this time, the telescopic drive 2 performs a retraction action, causing the guide assembly to move vertically upward. Under the action of the vertically moving guide assembly 3, the two guide grooves 5 on the inner wall of the guide assembly respectively drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 connected to the guide post 6 to close, clamping the cigarette pack between the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4. During this clamping process, the cigarette pack clamping limiter 7 on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1 near the telescopic drive 2 will resist and limit the upward moving guide assembly 3, preventing the guide grooves 5 on the upward moving guide assembly 3 from continuing to drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 connected to the guide post 6 to continue clamping the cigarette pack, thus avoiding the situation where the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 clamp the appearance of the cigarette pack into a dent.

[0040] When the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 hold the cigarette pack, the mechanical arm first moves the clamp holding the cigarette pack to the feeding end of the diversion conveyor line. Then, the telescopic drive 2 is driven to extend, causing the guide assembly 3 to move vertically downward. Under the drive of the vertically moving guide assembly 3, the two guide grooves 5 on the inner wall of the guide assembly 3 respectively drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 connected to the guide post 6 to open. The cigarette pack held between the cigarette pack clamping claws 4 falls into the diversion conveyor line, and the diversion conveyor line then transports the cigarette pack to the corresponding brand carton packaging station for packaging.

[0041] During the above process of gripping or releasing cigarette packs, only one telescopic drive component 2 (telescopic drive component: cylinder) drives the two cigarette pack gripping claws 4 to perform gripping / releasing of cigarette packs or gripping / releasing of cigarette accessories. This not only reduces the overall weight of the cigarette product clamping mechanism, but also indirectly reduces the load on the robotic arm connected to the cigarette product clamping mechanism. Furthermore, the cigarette pack gripping limit component 7 in the cigarette product clamping mechanism will also limit and resist the upward moving guide component 3, preventing the guide groove 5 on the upward moving guide component 3 from continuing to drive the two cigarette pack gripping claws 4 connected to the guide post 6 to continue gripping the cigarette packs. This solves the problem that when the existing sensor for detecting that the two claws are gripping the cigarette packs in place malfunctions, it cannot control the two driving claws to stop gripping in time, causing the two claws to clamp the appearance of the cigarette packs with dents.

[0042] It should be noted that the telescopic drive component 2 is either a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, with a pneumatic cylinder being preferred in this application. The pneumatic cylinder is either welded to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1 via a connecting seat or detachably connected.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The guide assembly 3, used to connect to the drive end of the telescopic drive member 2 or to drive the guide posts 6 on the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 to move, includes a first connecting plate 8, a second connecting plate 9, and a guide groove 5. The first connecting plate 8 is connected to the drive end of the telescopic drive member 2 so that the upward or downward movement of the telescopic drive member 2 in the vertical direction is applied to the first connecting plate 8. The second connecting plate 9 is connected to the first connecting plate 8 so that the upward or downward movement of the first connecting plate 8 drives the second connecting plate 9 to move upward or downward. The guide groove 5 is slidably connected to the guide posts 6 on each of the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 so that the upward or downward movement of the second connecting plate 9 drives the guide posts slidably connected to the guide groove 5 to move upward or downward, indirectly completing the closing or opening action of the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4.

[0044] Specifically, the outer wall of the first connecting plate 8 is connected to the piston rod on the cylinder, the inner wall of the first connecting plate 8 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1, the groove on the outer wall of the first connecting plate 8 and the inner wall of the second connecting plate 9 are connected by screws, and guide grooves 5 are respectively opened on the inner wall of the second connecting plate 9. The two guide grooves 5 are distributed in an inward V-shape, and the guide grooves 5 are slidably connected to the guide posts 6 on the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 respectively.

[0045] In practical application, when the telescopic drive component 2 (telescopic drive component: cylinder) drives the guide assembly 3 to release the cigarette pack clamping claws 4, the drive cylinder performs an extension action, causing the first connecting plate 8 and the second connecting plate 9 connected to the first connecting plate 8 to move downward in the vertical direction. Under the action of the second connecting plate 9 moving downward, the two guide grooves 5 on the inner wall of the second connecting plate 9 drive the guide post 6 slidably connected to the guide groove 5 and the cigarette pack clamping claws 4 connected to the guide post 6 to move downward. Since the two guide grooves 5 slidably connected to the guide post 6 are arranged in an inward V-shape, the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 move downward and separate along their respective guide grooves 5 during the downward movement, and the cigarette pack that was pre-clamped between the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 falls down.

[0046] When the telescopic drive component 2 (telescopic drive component: cylinder) drives the guide assembly 3 to release the cigarette pack clamping claws 4, the cigarette pack is placed between the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 which are in a pre-opened state. The drive cylinder performs a retraction action, which drives the first connecting plate 8 and the second connecting plate 9 connected to the first connecting plate 8 to move upward. Under the action of the upward movement of the second connecting plate 9, the two guide grooves 5 on the inner wall of the second connecting plate 9 drive the guide post 6 which is slidably connected to the guide groove 5 and the cigarette pack clamping claws 4 connected to the guide post 6 to move upward. The two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 are brought closer to each other by the upwardly moving guide grooves 5, and the cigarette pack that is pre-placed between the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 is clamped.

[0047] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 4 To make the first connecting plate 8 move more smoothly up or down along the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1, in

[0048] A first slide bar 10 is provided or connected to the inner wall of the first connecting plate 8, and the first slide bar 10 is slidably adapted to the first slide groove connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1.

[0049] In practical applications, during the process of the telescopic drive component 2 (telescopic drive component: cylinder) driving the first connecting plate 8 to move upward or downward along the outer wall of the L-shaped plate, since the inner wall of the first connecting plate 8 is provided with a first sliding strip 10 that is slidably adapted to the first sliding groove on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1, the first connecting plate 8 moves upward or downward along the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1 more smoothly, thereby assisting the second connecting plate 9 connected to the first connecting plate 8 in the process of moving upward or downward.

[0050] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 8 The cigarette pack clamping claw 4, which is slidably connected to the guide groove 5 on the second connecting plate 9, includes a guide post 6, an L-shaped moving plate 11, and a cigarette pack clamping arm 12. The guide post 6 is slidably connected to the guide groove 5 on the inner wall of the second connecting plate 9, so that the guide post 6 and the two L-shaped moving plates 11 connected to the guide post 6 move closer to each other or further away from each other by the upward or downward movement of the second connecting plate 9. The two L-shaped moving plates 11 are respectively connected to the cigarette pack clamping arm 12, so that the two cigarette pack clamping arms 12 are closed or opened by the movement of the two L-shaped moving plates 11 towards or away from each other.

[0051] Specifically, the columnar guide post 6 is slidably connected to the guide groove 5 on the inner wall of the second connecting plate 9, the guide post 6 is connected to the outer wall of one of the L-shaped moving plates 11, and the side wall of the L-shaped moving plate 11 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the cigarette pack clamping arm 12.

[0052] In practical application, when the guide groove 5 on the downward-moving second connecting plate 9 drives the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 to move away from each other and release the pre-clamped cigarette packs, the guide groove 5 on the downward-moving second connecting plate 9 will drive the two guide posts 6 to move outward at an angle, indirectly causing the two cigarette pack clamping arms 12 connected to the guide posts 6 through the L-shaped moving plate 11 to separate from each other, and the cigarette packs pre-clamped between the two cigarette pack clamping arms 12 will fall down.

[0053] When the guide groove 5 on the upward-moving second connecting plate 9 drives the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 to move closer to each other and release the cigarette pack, the guide groove 5 on the upward-moving second connecting plate 9 will drive the two guide posts 6 to move upward respectively, indirectly driving the two cigarette pack clamping arms 12 connected to the guide posts 6 through the L-shaped moving plate 11 to move closer to each other and clamp the cigarette pack between the two cigarette pack clamping arms 12.

[0054] It should be noted that the cigarette pack clamping arm 12 used to hold or release the cigarette packs has an L-shaped structure. The cigarette pack clamping arm 12 can also have other structures. In order to clamp and protect the cigarette packs, a clamping pad is also adhered to the inner wall of the cigarette pack clamping arm 12. The structure of the clamping pad matches the structure of the cigarette pack clamping arm 12.

[0055] In addition, to prevent the second connecting plate 9, which moves upward or downward, from interfering with the L-shaped moving plate 11, a gap 13 is reserved between the L-shaped moving plate 11 and the second connecting plate 9 to avoid interference between the second connecting plate 9 and the L-shaped moving plate 11 during the movement of the second connecting plate 9.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 8 To make the L-shaped moving plate 11 on each cigarette pack clamping arm 12 move more smoothly along the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1, the second sliding groove connected to the top of the L-shaped moving plate 11 is slidably connected to the second sliding strip connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1.

[0057] In practical applications, as each cigarette pack clamping arm 12 moves along the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1, the second sliding groove connected to the top of the L-shaped moving plate 11 and the second sliding strip connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1 slide together, which not only provides horizontal guidance for the movement of the cigarette pack clamping arm 12 along the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1, but also makes the movement of the two cigarette pack clamping arms 12 more stable.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 10The cigarette pack clamping and limiting member 7, which is used to limit and abut against the first connecting plate 8 in the upwardly moving guide assembly 3, includes a base 14 and a limiting post 15. The base 14 is used to install the limiting post 15. The limiting post 15 is used to abut against and limit the first connecting plate 8 in the upwardly moving guide assembly 3, so as to prevent the guide groove 5 on the upwardly moving guide assembly 3 from continuing to drive the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 connected to the guide post 6 to continue to clamp the cigarette pack, and avoid the two cigarette pack clamping claws 4 from clamping the appearance of the cigarette pack into a dent.

[0059] Specifically, the base 14 is disposed on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1 near the cylinder, and the limiting post 15 with external thread is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole 16 on the base 14. The end of the limiting post 15 away from the base 14 is in movable contact with the top of the first connecting plate 8.

[0060] In practical application, when the drive telescopic drive component 2 performs a retraction action, it causes the first connecting plate 8 and the second connecting plate 9 in the guide assembly 3 to move vertically upward. The two guide grooves 5 on the inner wall of the vertically upward moving second connecting plate 9 respectively drive the cigarette pack clamping arms 12 connected to the guide post 6 through the L-shaped moving plate 11 to close. During the clamping process of the cigarette pack between the two cigarette pack clamping claws, the limiting post 15 on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 1 will abut against the top of the second connecting plate 9 to limit it, preventing the guide grooves 5 on the upward moving second moving plate 9 from continuing to drive the two cigarette pack clamping arms 12 connected to the guide post 6 through the L-shaped moving plate 11 to continue to clamp the cigarette pack, thus avoiding the situation where the two cigarette pack clamping arms 12 clamp the appearance of the cigarette pack out of the dent.

[0061] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that many other modifications and implementations can be devised by those skilled in the art, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various variations and modifications can be made to the components and / or layout of the subject matter combination within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims. Besides variations and modifications to the components and / or layout, other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
