Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco frame transfer technology, and in particular to a transfer device for tobacco frames on a collection line. Background Technology
[0002] In the traditional tobacco leaf purchasing process, manual labor is required to transport the full tobacco crates to the storage bins and empty them. Manual handling of the crates is slow, and during peak purchasing seasons, the influx of large quantities of tobacco leaves easily leads to accumulation on-site, hindering the purchasing process. Furthermore, the high-intensity labor quickly fatigues workers, further slowing down the transfer pace and significantly impeding purchasing efficiency. Due to limited energy, manual operation is prone to confusion regarding tobacco leaf grades, mislabeling of tobacco crates, and errors or omissions in information recording. Hiring a large number of people for handling results in high labor costs; and human error during transfer can easily cause tobacco leaf loss and quality risks. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention 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 only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0026] A specific embodiment of the cigarette frame transfer device on the purchasing line provided by this utility model:
[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 The transfer device for cigarette frames on the collection line includes a support 1, a translation frame 2, a lifting frame 3, a tilting frame 4, two clamping plates 5, and an inverted L-shaped plate 6.
[0028] The support frame 1 is gate-shaped, with a conveyor 21 and a storage bin 22 placed at its lower ends. The conveyor 21 is located on one side of the support frame 1 and is parallel to the support frame 1. The downstream end of the conveyor 21 extends to the middle of the support frame 1. The conveyor 21 is preferably a roller conveyor.
[0029] The storage box 22 is a rectangular box structure with an opening on the top. Its length is perpendicular to the support 1. The storage box 22 passes through the inside of the support 1 and one end is located on the outer side of the downstream end of the conveyor 21.
[0030] The translation frame 2 moves along the support 1; the translation frame 2 is horizontally slidably connected to the support 1, the upper side of the support 1 is provided with a slide groove 7, and the upper rear side of the translation frame 2 is connected with a slider 8 that slides along the slide groove 7. The cross section of the slide groove 7 can be dovetail-shaped or inverted T-shaped, and the lower part of the slider 8 is adapted to the slide groove 7, so that the translation frame 2 can move horizontally along the support 1 stably.
[0031] A lead screw 10 and a first drive 11 for rotating the lead screw 10 are rotatably mounted on the rear side of the upper end of the bracket 1; in this embodiment, the first drive 11 is a motor. A translation seat 9 is connected to the rear side of the middle part of the upper end of the translation frame 2 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 10. The lead screw 10 passes through the translation seat 9 and is threadedly connected to the translation seat 9.
[0032] The motor drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, causing the translation seat 9 and the translation frame 2 to move horizontally. They can be moved to the upper side of the conveyor 21 and the upper side of the storage box 22 respectively, which facilitates the transfer of the cigarette frame 20.
[0033] The lifting frame 3 is located in front of the translation frame 2 and moves up and down along the translation frame 2. The lifting frame 3 is vertically slidably connected to the translation frame 2. Specifically, the front edge of the translation frame 2 is provided with two vertical rails 12. The lifting frame 3 is connected to a slide block 13 that moves vertically along the rails 12. Through the cooperation of the slide block 13 and the rails 12, the lifting frame 3 moves up and down stably along the translation frame 2.
[0034] A first automatic telescopic cylinder 14 is installed at the middle of the upper end of the translation frame 2. The telescopic end of the first automatic telescopic cylinder 14 is connected to the lifting frame 3. The first automatic telescopic cylinder 14 is preferably an electric telescopic cylinder.
[0035] The telescopic end of the first automatic telescopic cylinder 14 extends and retracts, driving the lifting frame 3 to rise and fall. When rising and falling, it is easy to move away from the conveyor 21 and the storage box 22 to achieve horizontal movement. When falling, it can move closer to the upper side of the conveyor 21 and the upper side of the storage box 22.
[0036] The tilting frame 4 rotates vertically on the lifting frame 3; the tilting frame 4 is rotatably connected to the lifting frame 3, and a second drive 16 for driving the tilting frame 4 to rotate is installed on the lifting frame 3. Specifically, a mounting plate 15 is connected to the lower middle part of the lifting frame 3, the tilting frame 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 15, and the second drive 16 is installed on the rear side of the mounting plate 15. The second drive 16 is a servo motor that controls the tilting frame 4 to tilt 180 degrees, thereby enabling the tilting of the tobacco frame 20 and the dumping of tobacco leaves into the storage bin 22. In some other embodiments, the second drive 16 can be a rotary cylinder instead of a servo motor.
[0037] The tilting frame 4 includes a middle plate 41, which is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 15 and controlled by the second drive 16. A fixed plate 42 and a movable plate 43, parallel to each other, are respectively connected to the front ends of the middle plate 41. The movable plate 43 moves linearly along the middle plate 41, changing its distance from the fixed plate 42. The movement of the movable plate 43 adjusts the distance to the fixed plate 42, thereby clamping and releasing the cigarette frame 20.
[0038] The movable plate 43 is linearly slidably connected to the intermediate plate 41. A guide block 18 is provided on the front side of the intermediate plate 41, and a guide rod 19 is connected to one side of the rear end of the movable plate 43. The guide rod 19 passes through the guide block 18 and slides along the guide block 18 to ensure the stability of the movement of the movable plate 43. A second automatic telescopic cylinder 17 is installed on the front side of the intermediate plate 41. The telescopic end of the second automatic telescopic cylinder 17 is connected to the movable plate 43 to realize the movement of the movable plate 43.
[0039] To improve the stability of clamping the cigarette frame 20 and increase the contact area, two clamping plates 5 are connected to the flipping frame 4. Specifically, the two clamping plates 5 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the fixed plate 42 and the movable plate 43. The two clamping plates 5 clamp the cigarette frame 20 on both sides and have inclined surfaces that fit against the cigarette frame 20. The inclined surfaces can make more comprehensive contact with the sides of the cigarette frame 20, thereby improving the clamping stability.
[0040] The inverted L-shaped plate 6 is connected to the clamping plate 5 and limits the opening edge of the tobacco frame 20; the upper end of the inverted L-shaped plate 6 is bent and attached to the upper side of the upper edge of the tobacco frame 20, and supports the tobacco frame 20 after the tobacco frame 20 is rotated 180 degrees to prevent the tobacco leaves from falling when the tobacco frame 20 is rotated and tilted.
[0041] Transfer process: Conveyor 21 transports the tobacco frames 20 filled with tobacco leaves to the front of the support 1;
[0042] The translation frame 2 is moved to the downstream end of the corresponding conveyor 21, and the lifting frame 3 is lowered until the two clamping plates 5 are located on both sides of the smoke frame 20.
[0043] The movable plate 43 moves toward the fixed plate 42, and the two clamping plates 5 clamp the cigarette frame 20; the lifting frame 3 drives the cigarette frame 20 to rise to a high position.
[0044] The translation frame 2 moves the tobacco frame 20 to the upper side of the storage box 22, and the flipping frame 4 flips 180 degrees to pour the tobacco leaves in the tobacco frame 20 into the storage box 22; after the tobacco leaves are poured out, the flipping frame 4 drives the tobacco frame 20 to flip and reset.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative effort, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
