Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette packaging, and more specifically to a direct-draw cigarette stacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the current cigarette packaging industry, stacking machines are typically used to stack standard cigarette boxes for individual packaging. Square cigarettes and other irregularly shaped cigarettes are packaged separately, and manual identification is performed during delivery to combine different types of cigarettes from the same retailer for shipment. Existing stacking machines use symmetrical chain drive, and because the receiving plate can only move according to the structure of the entire chain, they have a higher damage rate when stacking square cigarette boxes. They are more suitable for stacking standard medium and slim cigarette boxes. Due to their working principle, the stacked cigarette boxes fall into the receiving platform, and then a pushing device pushes the stacked cigarette boxes into the conveyor for the next packaging step. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a direct-extraction stacking smoke machine.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0005] A direct-draw smoke stacking machine includes a smoke stacking machine housing. Multiple smoke-supporting devices are vertically arranged at equal intervals inside the smoke stacking machine housing. Each smoke-supporting device has two symmetrically opening and closing smoke-supporting plates. The two smoke-supporting plates are slidably connected to the smoke-supporting devices and are configured to cooperate with a drive unit provided on the smoke-supporting devices. The smoke stacking machine housing has a smoke inlet, which is configured to cooperate with the smoke-supporting device located on the uppermost layer. Baffles are provided inside the smoke stacking machine housing on both sides of the smoke inlet.

[0006] The smoke-collecting device includes a fixed plate, a slide rail, a smoke-collecting plate, and a driver. There are two fixed plates symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the smoke stacking machine housing, with a gap between the two fixed plates. The gaps form a smoke-collecting passage. Each fixed plate is provided with one or more slide rails. The two smoke-collecting plates are respectively set on the slide rails of the corresponding fixed plates. When the two smoke-collecting plates are in the closed state, they block the gap between the two fixed plates. The smoke-collecting plates are configured in conjunction with the driver.

[0007] The casing of the cigarette stacking machine is provided with multiple sliding grooves. The number and position of the sliding grooves are matched with the cigarette support plates of each cigarette support device. The casing of the cigarette stacking machine near the sliding grooves is provided with slider tracks. Each slider track is provided with a linkage slider. The linkage slider is fixedly connected to the corresponding cigarette support plate and is connected to the corresponding driver.

[0008] The driver uses a drive motor or cylinder.

[0009] The linkage slider is connected to the corresponding driver via a drive belt.

[0010] The cigarette stacking machine housing is equipped with multiple sets of drive wheels, with two drive wheels in each set, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the cigarette stacking machine housing. The position of each set of drive wheels matches the corresponding cigarette holding device, and the drive belt is nested in a ring on the drive wheels.

[0011] The two drive wheels in the same group divide the drive belt into a first belt body closer to the cigarette stacker housing and a second belt body farther away from the cigarette stacker housing. The two linkage sliders corresponding to the same cigarette holding device are fixedly connected to the first belt body and the second belt body respectively.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This solution overcomes the problem of existing cigarette stacking machines requiring additional equipment to place stacked cigarette boxes onto a conveyor belt for transport. Because the cigarette-supporting device and the machine casing work together to arrange the cigarette boxes into neat layers, it is suitable for irregularly shaped cigarette boxes without the problems of jamming or dropping caused by the difficulty in arranging cigarette boxes in existing stacking machines. After arranging the cigarette boxes, the neat layers are dropped layer by layer until they fall into the conveyor belt. Repeating this process effectively stacks multiple layers of cigarette boxes. It can effectively accommodate irregularly shaped cigarette boxes and can also stack the cigarette boxes directly in the conveyor device, avoiding the need for additional equipment and effectively improving efficiency.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0019] Example

[0020] A direct-draw cigarette stacking machine includes a cigarette stacking machine housing 1. Multiple cigarette-supporting devices 2 are vertically arranged at equal intervals inside the cigarette stacking machine housing 1. Each cigarette-supporting device 2 has two symmetrically opening and closing cigarette-supporting plates 201. The two cigarette-supporting plates 201 are slidably connected to the cigarette-supporting devices 2. The two cigarette-supporting plates 201 are configured to cooperate with the driver 202 provided on the cigarette-supporting devices 2. The cigarette stacking machine housing 1 is provided with a smoke inlet 101, which is configured to cooperate with the cigarette-supporting device 2 located on the uppermost layer. Baffles 103 are provided inside the cigarette stacking machine housing 1 on both sides of the smoke inlet 101.

[0021] The smoke-collecting device 2 includes a fixed plate 203, a slide rail 204, a smoke-collecting plate 201, and a driver 202. The number of fixed plates 203 is two, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the smoke stacking machine housing 1. There is a gap between the two fixed plates 203, and the gaps form a smoke-falling passage. Each fixed plate 203 is provided with one or more slide rails 204. The two smoke-collecting plates 201 are respectively arranged on the slide rails 204 of the corresponding fixed plates 203. When the two smoke-collecting plates 201 are in the closed state, they block the gap between the two fixed plates 203. The smoke-collecting plates 201 are configured in conjunction with the driver 202.

[0022] The stacking cigarette machine housing 1 is provided with multiple sliding grooves 102. The number and position of the sliding grooves 102 are matched with the cigarette support plates 201 of each cigarette support device 2. The stacking cigarette machine housing 1 near the sliding grooves 102 is provided with slider tracks 3. Each slider track 3 is provided with a linkage slider 4. The linkage slider 4 is fixedly connected to the corresponding cigarette support plate 201. The linkage slider 4 is also connected to the corresponding driver 202.

[0023] The driver 202 uses a drive motor or cylinder.

[0024] The linkage slider 4 is connected to the corresponding driver 202 via the drive belt 5.

[0025] The casing 1 of the cigarette stacking machine is equipped with multiple sets of drive wheels 6, with two drive wheels 6 in each set, which are respectively set on the left and right sides of the casing 1 of the cigarette stacking machine. The position of each set of drive wheels 6 matches the corresponding cigarette holding device 2, and the drive belt 5 is nested in a ring on the drive wheels 6.

[0026] The two drive wheels 6 in the same group divide the drive belt 5 into a first belt body close to the cigarette stacking machine housing 1 and a second belt body away from the cigarette stacking machine housing 1. The two linkage sliders 4 corresponding to the same cigarette holding device 2 are fixedly connected to the first belt body and the second belt body respectively.

[0027] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment uses three sets of cigarette-supporting devices 2 as an example. The working principle of this scheme is as follows: cigarettes are fed from the cooperating conveyor through the cigarette inlet 101. The cigarette boxes are constrained into a regular layer by the cooperation of the cigarette inlet 101 and the cigarette stacking machine housing 1. The arranged cigarette boxes are supported by the cigarette-supporting plate 201. The cigarette-supporting device 2 opens the cigarette-supporting plate 201 from top to bottom, allowing the stacked cigarette boxes to fall gradually from the cigarette drop path until they fall into the designated cigarette receiving position for further packaging. Repeating the above steps can stack the cigarette boxes layer by layer, finally forming a standard rectangular cigarette box stack structure for the next packaging step. Among them, the baffle 103 is used to limit the position of the cigarette boxes and prevent them from being in the same position as the cigarette-supporting plate 201.

[0028] Furthermore, to ensure stable operation of the cigarette holder 201, the fixing plate 203 is provided with one or more slide rails 204, and the linkage slider 4 for driving is also set on the slider slide rail 3. The linkage of multiple slide rails can effectively improve the stability of the cigarette holder 201. At the same time, a sliding groove 102 is provided to facilitate the fixing of the cigarette holder 201 and the linkage slider 4. The driver 202 is a drive motor, which drives the drive belt 5 to control the linkage slider 4.

[0029] Furthermore, to simplify the mechanical structure, a single driver 202 is used to drive two linked sliders 4 in different directions simultaneously. A drive wheel 6 is provided, and the two drive wheels 6 cooperate with a drive belt 5. The two linked sliders 4 in the same group are respectively set on the first and second belt bodies of the drive belt 5. When the drive belt 5 rotates, the first and second belt bodies located at both ends of the drive wheel 6 will move in different directions, thereby driving the two linked sliders 4 to different positions, realizing the opening and closing function of the cigarette holder 201.

[0030] Preferably, the driver 202 can use a servo motor and a cylinder to drive the drive belt.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made in accordance with the claims of this utility model should still fall within the patent coverage of this utility model.
