Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In cigarette box production, to ensure efficient cigarette box conveying, conveyor belts or pusher components are typically used to transfer cigarette boxes from the gluing equipment into the drying channel. Specifically, the conveyor belt directly transports the cigarette boxes one by one into the drying channel, or the pusher component directly pushes them one by one. However, during the process of transporting the cigarette boxes by the conveyor belt or pushing them into the drying channel, if the adhesive on the label paper fails to dry completely, or if the friction coefficient is inconsistent during the transition between the pusher component / conveyor belt and the drying channel, the cigarette box lid may shift, affecting the production quality of the cigarette boxes. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cigarette box conveying device with a simple structure and a guiding component that can limit the conveying of cigarette boxes to ensure the quality of cigarette box conveying.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A cigarette box conveying device is provided, comprising a conveyor belt, a feeding mechanism, and a guiding assembly. The conveyor belt has a conveying surface for conveying cigarette boxes and a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other along a first direction. The conveyor belt is used to convey the cigarette boxes from the first end to the second end. The feeding mechanism includes a carrying plate and a driving assembly. The carrying plate is disposed on the first end and has an upwardly facing bearing surface. The bearing surface is spaced vertically above the conveying surface. The driving assembly is spaced on one side of the conveyor belt along the first direction and is used to push the cigarette boxes on the bearing surface one by one onto the conveying surface. The guiding assembly includes a positioning block and a guiding block spaced along a second direction on the conveyor belt. The positioning block and the guiding block form a guiding groove spaced apart. The body and lid of the cigarette box are slidably disposed on two groove walls of the guiding groove along the second direction, wherein the first direction, the second direction, and the vertical direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the cigarette box conveying device, along the first direction, the carrying plate has a first side surface adjacent to the second end, the length of the guide block extends along the first direction, the guide block is disposed on the carrying plate, and the guide block at least partially extends out of the first side surface.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the cigarette box conveying device, the conveyor belt includes a frame, the guide block includes a guide portion and a connecting portion arranged at an angle, the connecting portion is disposed on the frame, the length of the connecting portion extends along the second direction, and the connecting portion at least partially extends above the carrying plate, the guide portion extends along the first direction, and the guide portion and the positioning block are spaced apart to form the guide groove.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the cigarette box conveying device, the dimension of the guide groove adjacent to the first end along the second direction is greater than the dimension of the guide groove away from the first end along the second direction.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the cigarette box conveying device, the guide groove located above the first side has a dimension along the second direction that is smaller than the dimension of the cigarette box along the second direction.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the cigarette box conveying device, an arc transition section is provided at the connection between the guide part and the connecting part.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the cigarette box conveying device, the guide block further includes a mounting part, and the connecting part is disposed on the frame through the mounting part. The mounting part is provided with an oblong hole, the length of which extends along the first direction. The frame is provided with a threaded hole, and a bolt passes through the oblong hole and is screwed into the threaded hole to connect the mounting part to the frame.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the cigarette box conveying device, the driving component includes a driving member and a pusher block. The driving member is throttledly connected to the pusher block to drive the pusher block to move the cigarette box on the bearing surface along the first direction.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the cigarette box conveying device, the driving assembly further includes a rubber pad disposed on one side of the pusher block for contacting the cigarette box.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the cigarette box conveying device, the cigarette box conveying device includes two conveyor belts, which are spaced apart along the vertical direction. Each conveyor belt is provided with a feeding mechanism and a guiding component.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting positioning blocks and guide blocks at intervals along the second direction of the conveyor belt to form a guide groove, the cigarette box can slide along the groove wall when it is transferred from the bearing surface of the carrying plate to the conveying surface of the conveyor belt under the push of the drive component. This restricts the cigarette box to avoid the body and lid of the cigarette box from shifting, thus effectively ensuring the production quality of the cigarette box. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0027] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette box conveying device of this utility model embodiment includes a conveyor belt 1, a feeding mechanism 2, and a guiding assembly 3. The conveyor belt 1 has a conveying surface 11 for conveying cigarette boxes 100 and a first end 12 and a second end 13 arranged opposite to each other along a first direction (the first direction is the X direction shown in the figure). The conveyor belt 1 is used to convey cigarette boxes 100 from the first end 12 to the second end 13. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a carrying plate 21 and a driving assembly 22. The carrying plate 21 is disposed on the first end 12, and the carrying plate 21 has an upwardly facing bearing surface 211. The bearing surfaces 211 are arranged vertically at intervals on the upper part of the conveying surface 11. The drive assembly 22 is spaced apart on one side of the conveyor belt 1 along the first direction (vertical direction is the Z direction shown in the figure). The drive assembly 22 is used to push the cigarette boxes 100 on the bearing surface 211 one by one onto the conveyor surface 11. The guide assembly 3 includes positioning blocks 31 and guide blocks 32 spaced apart along the second direction (the second direction is the Y direction shown in the figure). The positioning blocks 31 and guide blocks 32 are spaced apart to form guide grooves 33. The box body and the box lid of the cigarette box 100 are slidably disposed on the two groove walls of the guide groove 33 along the second direction. The first direction, the second direction and the vertical direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0029] It is understandable that there is a certain height difference between the bearing surface 211 of the carrier plate 21 and the conveying surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1 in the vertical direction. When the cigarette box 100 is transferred from the bearing surface 211 of the carrier plate 21 to the conveying surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1, the body and lid of the cigarette box 100 are prone to shift and unfold due to the failure of the paper adhesive to dry and the inconsistent friction coefficients during the transition between the carrier plate and the conveyor belt 1. Therefore, by setting positioning blocks 31 and guide blocks 32 at intervals along the second direction of the conveyor belt 1 to form a guide groove 33, the cigarette box 100 can slide along the groove wall of the guide groove 33 when it is transferred from the bearing surface 211 of the carrier plate 21 to the conveying surface 11 of the conveyor belt 1 under the push of the drive component 22. This restricts the cigarette box 100 to avoid the body and lid of the cigarette box 100 shifting, effectively ensuring the production quality of the cigarette box 100.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, along the first direction, the carrier plate 21 has a first side surface 212 adjacent to the second end 13. The guide block 32 extends along the first direction and is disposed on the carrier plate 21, with at least a portion of the guide block 32 extending beyond the first side surface 212. In other words, the length of the positioning block 31 is consistent with the length of the conveyor belt 1, allowing the cigarette box 100 to move along the positioning block 31 to prevent the cigarette box 100 from slipping off the conveyor belt 1. By limiting the length of the guide block 32, the guide block 32 can restrict the cigarette box 100 from being transferred from the bearing surface 211 to the junction of the conveying surface 11. This effectively saves material on the guide block 32 and prevents the cigarette box 100 from rubbing against the guide block 32 throughout the conveying process on the conveyor belt 1, thus improving the conveying quality of the cigarette box 100. When the cigarette box 100 is conveyed alone on the carrier plate 21 or alone on the conveyor belt 1, the conveying position of the cigarette box 100 can be guaranteed by limiting and guiding it on one side of the positioning block 31. The phenomenon of the lid opening when the cigarette box 100 is transferred from the carrier surface 211 to the conveyor surface 11 can be avoided by setting guide blocks 32 on both sides of the first side 212 along the first direction to restrict the body and lid of the cigarette box 100.

[0031] Furthermore, combining Figure 4As shown, the conveyor belt 1 includes a frame 14, and the guide block 32 includes a guide portion 321 and a connecting portion 322 arranged at an angle. The connecting portion 322 is disposed on the frame 14, and its length extends along a second direction, and the connecting portion 322 at least partially extends above the carrying plate 21. The guide portion 321 extends along a first direction, and the guide portion 321 and the positioning block 31 form a guide groove 33 at intervals. The guide block 32 is installed by connecting it to the frame 14 through the connecting portion 322, without affecting changes to the structure of the carrying plate 21, and can adapt to the addition of guide blocks 32 to existing outdated equipment. Only the connecting portion 322 needs to be connected to the frame 14. The guide block 32 has a simple structure and is convenient to produce and assemble.

[0032] Optionally, the dimension of the guide groove 33 adjacent to the first end 12 along the second direction is larger than the dimension of the guide groove 33 away from the first end 12 along the second direction. In other words, the larger dimension of the guide groove 33 near the first end 12 provides a larger contact area, allowing the cigarette box 100 to be positioned and guided more accurately when entering the guide groove 33, reducing deviation and instability, thereby improving the conveying accuracy of the cigarette box 100; as the dimension of the guide groove 33 gradually decreases in the position away from the first end 12, the stability of the cigarette box 100 within the guide groove 33 is enhanced, which can limit the lateral displacement of the object during movement, ensuring that the object moves more smoothly along the guide groove 33, avoiding unnecessary shaking that could cause the box to unfold.

[0033] Preferably, the dimension of the guide groove 33 above the first side 212 along the second direction is smaller than the dimension of the cigarette box 100 along the second direction. In other words, when the cigarette box 100 passes the first side 212, the two sides of the cigarette box 100 along the second direction should be slightly pressed against the two groove walls of the guide groove 33 along the second direction to ensure a tight connection between the body and the lid of the cigarette box 100. Of course, the dimension of the guide groove 33 above the first side 212 along the second direction should not be too small to avoid excessive compression of the body or lid, which could damage the cigarette box 100 and ensure the production quality of the cigarette box 100.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, an arc transition section 323 is provided at the connection between the guide section 321 and the connecting section 322. On the one hand, this facilitates the direct sheet metal bending production of the guide section 321 and the connecting section 322, reducing processing difficulty and improving production efficiency. On the other hand, the arc transition section 323 can smoothly guide the cigarette box 100 on the carrier plate 21, reducing the possibility of jamming between the cigarette box 100 and the connecting section 322, and improving the smoothness of the cigarette box 100's transport.

[0035] Furthermore, the guide block 32 also includes a mounting portion 324. The connecting portion 322 is mounted on the frame 14 via the mounting portion 324. The mounting portion 324 has a slotted hole 325, the length of which extends along the first direction. The frame 14 has a threaded hole. Bolts are screwed into the threaded hole through the slotted hole 325 to connect the mounting portion 324 to the frame 14. Using bolts to connect the mounting portion 324 to the frame 14 provides a convenient and secure threaded connection. The removable bolt design also facilitates replacement of the guide block 32 after long-term wear, simplifying maintenance. In addition, the slotted hole 325 allows the mounting portion 324 to have a certain adjustment range on the frame 14, enabling adjustment of the guide block 32's length along the first direction as needed, improving installation convenience and connection stability.

[0036] In other embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 22 includes a drive member 221 and a pusher block 222. The drive member 221 is convexly connected to the pusher block 222 so that the pusher block 222 can push the cigarette box 100 on the bearing surface 211 to move along the first direction. The drive assembly 22 has a simple structure. The pusher block 222 can be driven by the drive member 221 to move the cigarette box 100. The drive member 221 can be one of a linear drive mechanism such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or electric cylinder.

[0037] Furthermore, the drive assembly 22 also includes a rubber pad disposed on the side of the pusher 222 that contacts the cigarette case 100. The rubber pad effectively prevents direct rigid friction between the pusher 222 and the cigarette case 100, thereby reducing damage to the surface of the cigarette case 100. Especially for fragile packaging materials, the rubber pad provides a buffer protection layer, preventing scratches or other damage caused by friction.

[0038] Furthermore, the cigarette box conveying device includes two conveyor belts 1, which are arranged vertically at intervals. Each conveyor belt 1 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 2 and a guide component 3. By setting up two conveyor belts 1, different batches or types of cigarette boxes 100 can be conveyed simultaneously, reducing the conveying waiting time and thus significantly improving overall work efficiency. Moreover, arranging the two conveyor belts 1 vertically at intervals allows for better utilization of vertical space rather than occupying a large area of ​​floor space, making it suitable for production workshops with limited space and increasing conveying capacity without increasing the floor area.

[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
