Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette processing technology, and in particular to a cigarette picking and transferring device. Background Technology

[0002] A cigarette pack usually refers to a standard cigarette pack, which contains 10 packs of cigarettes. Each pack of cigarettes generally contains 20 cigarettes. The cigarette manufacturing process involves drying the tobacco, cutting it into shreds, and then rolling it into a cylindrical shape about 120mm long and 10mm in diameter. When smoking, one end is lit, and the smoke is inhaled from the other end.

[0003] Announcement No. (CN222311986U) discloses a cigarette pack picking and transferring device. When the movable mounting pad moves, the positions of the cast iron mounting frame and the electric mechanical gripper can be adjusted. After the electric mechanical gripper moves above the cigarette pack to be picked up, the first servo motor can be stopped and the second servo motor can be started. After the cast iron mounting frame moves, the electric mechanical gripper moves downwards, facilitating gripping of the cigarette pack. After gripping, the first servo motor can be restarted to transfer the cigarette pack. Once transferred to the appropriate position, the electric mechanical gripper releases the cigarette pack to complete the transfer. This achieves the goal of simplifying cigarette pack picking, gripping, and transferring, reducing manual operation, and improving the safety of the cigarette pack picking and transferring process. However, the above device uses a fixed electric mechanical gripper to grip the cigarette pack. When the cigarette pack is placed horizontally, the electric mechanical gripper cannot grip it, which affects the transfer of the cigarette pack and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette pickup and transfer device to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A cigarette pack picking and transferring device includes a transfer mechanism for picking up and transferring cigarette packs, and a protective mechanism is installed above the transfer mechanism to prevent workers from being pinched.

[0007] The transfer mechanism includes a fixed frame, a fixed shell is mounted on the upper surface of the fixed frame, a motor is provided on the side wall of the fixed shell, a threaded rod is connected to the output end of the motor, guide rods are symmetrically distributed at the front and rear of the threaded rod, a slide table is slidably mounted on the guide rod, an electric push rod is mounted on the lower surface of the slide table, a lifting seat is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric push rod, and an adsorption component is provided below the lifting seat.

[0008] The protective mechanism includes a cover plate installed on the upper surface of the fixed shell, a fixing rod installed above the cover plate, a locking bolt passing through the fixing rod, and a positioning post fixed on the cover plate.

[0009] Preferably, the adsorption assembly includes a lifting plate fixed below the lifting seat, a vacuum pump is installed on the lifting plate, an adsorption tube is provided on the vacuum pump, an adsorption cylinder is connected to the end of the adsorption tube away from the vacuum pump, and a vacuum suction cup is fixed on the lower surface of the adsorption cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the fixed shell has a circular positioning hole, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the fixed shell.

[0011] Preferably, the slide is slidably connected to the fixed housing, and the slide is threadedly connected to the threaded rod.

[0012] Preferably, the number of locking bolts is twice the number of fixing rods.

[0013] Preferably, the vacuum suction cup is threadedly connected to the adsorption cylinder.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] By setting up a transfer mechanism, when using the device, it is installed in the appropriate position. When it is necessary to transfer the cigarette packs, the motor runs, driving the threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod causes the slide to move along the guide rod, and the adsorption component moves accordingly. When the adsorption component moves above the cigarette packs, the electric push rod extends, causing the adsorption component to descend. The adsorption component descends and contacts the cigarette packs, then the adsorption component operates to adsorb the cigarette packs. The motor is then restarted to transfer the cigarette packs. After the cigarette packs are transferred to the appropriate position, the adsorption component releases its adsorption on the cigarette packs. Using the above method to pick up and transfer cigarette packs, the picking and transfer process is not affected by the way the cigarette packs are placed, effectively improving the usage effect of the device.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a cigarette picking and transferring device includes a transfer mechanism 1 for picking up and transferring cigarettes, and a protective mechanism 2 installed above the transfer mechanism 1 to prevent workers from being pinched.

[0028] In this utility model, the transfer mechanism 1 includes a fixed frame 101, a fixed shell 102 mounted on the upper surface of the fixed frame 101, a motor 103 mounted on the side wall of the fixed shell 102, a threaded rod 104 connected to the output end of the motor 103, guide rods 105 symmetrically distributed at the front and rear of the threaded rod 104, a slide table 106 slidably mounted on the guide rods 105, an electric push rod 107 mounted on the lower surface of the slide table 106, a lifting seat 108 fixed to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 107, a lifting plate 109 fixed below the lifting seat 108, a vacuum pump 110 mounted on the lifting plate 109, an adsorption tube 111 mounted on the vacuum pump 110, an adsorption cylinder 112 connected to the end of the adsorption tube 111 away from the vacuum pump 110, and a vacuum suction cup 113 fixed to the lower surface of the adsorption cylinder 112; a circular positioning hole is opened on the fixed shell 102, the threaded rod 104 is rotatably connected to the fixed shell 102, and the slide table 106 is connected to the fixed shell 102. 2. A sliding connection is used, with the slide table 106 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 104, and the vacuum suction cup 113 threadedly connected to the adsorption cylinder 112. When using the device, it is installed in the appropriate position. When it is necessary to transfer the cigarette pack, the motor 103 runs, driving the threaded rod 104 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 104 drives the slide table 106 to move along the guide rod 105, and the vacuum suction cup 113 moves accordingly. When the vacuum suction cup 113 moves above the cigarette pack, the electric push rod 107 extends, driving the vacuum suction cup 113 to descend. The vacuum suction cup 113 descends and contacts the cigarette pack. Then, the vacuum pump 110 runs, drawing the vacuum suction cup 113 to a negative pressure state, and the cigarette pack is adsorbed on the vacuum suction cup 113. The motor 103 is then started to transfer the cigarette pack. After the cigarette pack is transferred to a suitable position, the adsorption on the cigarette pack is released. The above method is used to pick up and transfer the cigarette pack. The picking and transfer process is not affected by the way the cigarette pack is placed, which effectively improves the use effect of the device.

[0029] In this utility model, the protective mechanism 2 includes a cover plate 201 disposed on the upper surface of the fixed shell 102, a fixing rod 202 installed above the cover plate 201, a locking bolt 203 passing through the fixing rod 202, and a positioning post 204 fixed on the cover plate 201; the number of locking bolts 203 is twice the number of fixing rods 202; by using the cover plate 201 to seal the opening on the fixed shell 102, the situation of the slide table 106 moving and pinching the staff can be avoided.

[0030] In the above structure: When using the device, install the device in the corresponding position. When it is necessary to transfer the cigarette pack, the motor 103 runs and drives the threaded rod 104 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 104 drives the slide table 106 to move along the guide rod 105. The vacuum suction cup 113 moves accordingly. When the vacuum suction cup 113 moves above the cigarette pack, the electric push rod 107 extends and drives the vacuum suction cup 113 to descend. The vacuum suction cup 113 descends and contacts the cigarette pack. Then the vacuum pump 110 runs and draws the vacuum suction cup 113 to a negative pressure state. The cigarette pack is adsorbed on the vacuum suction cup 113. Then the motor 103 is started again to transfer the cigarette pack. After the cigarette pack is transferred to the appropriate position, the adsorption of the cigarette pack is released.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
