Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cigarette pack flipping device for a conveyor, belonging to the field of cigarette pack handling technology. Background Technology

[0002] Cigarette pack conveying often requires a cigarette pack conveying device. Existing cigarette pack conveying devices consist of a support frame and a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is mounted on the support frame and rotates reciprocally. During operation, cigarette packs are placed on one end of the conveyor belt, and the reciprocating rotation of the belt continuously transports the cigarette packs to the other end, thus achieving the conveying process. Currently, to prevent cigarette packs from slipping off the support frame, the applicant has installed large baffles on the conveyor belt. However, this also requires the cigarette packs to be lifted quite high when placed on the conveyor belt, which increases labor intensity and makes cigarette loading operations inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above, this utility model provides a cigarette pack flipping device for a conveyor to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a cigarette pack flipping device for a conveyor, comprising:

[0005] A tilting frame, comprising two side frames and a top frame installed between the tops of the two side frames;

[0006] A lifting mechanism is installed on the opposite inner sides of the two side frames respectively;

[0007] A flip plate, the two sides of which are respectively hinged to the lower part of the lifting mechanism;

[0008] A telescopic mechanism, one end of which is hinged to the upper part of the lifting mechanism, and the other end of which is hinged to the flipping plate.

[0009] In one example, a sensor is installed on the side of the tilting frame opposite the tilting plate, and the sensor is used to sense the baffles on the conveyor.

[0010] In one example, brackets are provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of both sides of the tilting frame, and the bottom of the brackets is provided with wheels. Handrails are provided on the outer sides of both sides of the tilting frame.

[0011] In one example, the lifting mechanism is a sprocket and chain drive mechanism, which includes a drive sprocket, a drive chain and a drive motor. The drive sprocket is rotatably mounted on the upper and lower parts of the side frame, the drive chain is installed between the drive sprockets, and the drive motor is mounted on the upper outer side of the side frame, and the drive motor is connected to the drive sprocket in a drive connection.

[0012] In one example, the drive sprockets on the two side frames at the same height are connected by a synchronous shaft.

[0013] In one example, the telescopic mechanism is a hydraulic telescopic arm, the transmission chain is provided with an upper support and a lower support, one end of the hydraulic telescopic arm is hinged to the upper support, and one end of the flip plate is hinged to the lower support.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Through the designed tilting frame, lifting mechanism, tilting plate, and telescopic mechanism, when loading cigarette packs, the device is first moved to the end of the conveyor and close to it. The belt on the conveyor rotates, causing the baffle to move, placing the cigarette packs on the tilting plate. The lifting mechanism is then controlled to move the tilting plate upwards a certain distance, at which point the tilting plate is above the end of the conveyor. The telescopic mechanism is then controlled to retract, tilting the tilting plate so that the cigarette packs on it slide onto the conveyor, are stopped by the baffle, and move upwards with the baffle. Compared with existing technologies, this invention enables labor-saving placement of cigarette packs on the conveyor, greatly reducing labor intensity and demonstrating strong practicality.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a cigarette pack flipping device for a conveyor, comprising a flipping frame 1, a lifting mechanism 2, a flipping plate 3, and a telescopic mechanism 4.

[0028] The tilting frame 1 includes two side frames 11 and a top frame 12 installed between the tops of the two side frames 11. For easy movement, brackets 13 are provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the two side frames 11 of the tilting frame 1. Traveling wheels 14 are installed at the bottom of the brackets 13, and the tilting frame can be moved by these four traveling wheels 14. Handrails 15 are provided on the outer side of the two side frames 11 of the tilting frame for moving operation.

[0029] Lifting mechanisms 2 are installed on the opposite inner sides of the two side frames 11. The lifting mechanism 2 adopts a sprocket and chain drive mechanism, which includes a drive sprocket 21, a drive chain 22 and a drive motor 23. The two drive sprockets 21 are rotatably installed on the upper and lower parts of the side frame 11. The drive chain 22 is installed between the drive sprockets 21. The drive motor 23 is installed on the upper outer side of the side frame 11 and is connected to the drive sprockets 21. In order to achieve synchronous lifting and save motor power, the drive sprockets 21 on the two side frames 11 at the same height are connected by a synchronous shaft 24. The synchronous rotation of the two drive sprockets 21 can be achieved through the synchronous shaft 24.

[0030] A tilting plate 3 is hinged to the lower part of the two drive chains 22, and the tilting plate 3 can rotate relative to the drive chains 22. A telescopic mechanism 4 is installed between the drive chains 22 and the tilting plate 3. The telescopic mechanism 4 is a hydraulic telescopic arm. An upper support 31 and a lower support 32 are fixed on the drive chains 22. One end of the hydraulic telescopic arm is hinged to the upper support 31, and the other end of the hydraulic telescopic arm is hinged to the outer side of the middle part of the tilting plate 3. One end of the tilting plate 3 is hinged to the lower support 32. Thus, the drive chains 22 can drive the tilting plate 3 to move up and down through the hydraulic telescopic arm, and at the same time, the telescopic movement of the hydraulic telescopic arm can drive the rotation of the tilting plate 3.

[0031] For ease of operation, a sensor 5 is installed on the side of the tilting frame opposite to the tilting plate 3. The sensor 5 can be a laser sensor 5. The receiving end and the transmitting end are respectively installed on the two side frames 11. The sensor 5 is used to sense the baffle 6 on the conveyor. When the baffle 6 is sensed, the hydraulic telescopic arm retracts to tilt the tilting plate 3, causing the cigarette packs on the tilting plate 3 to tilt and slide onto the conveyor, where they are blocked by the baffle 6 and move upward.

[0032] The working principle of the above-mentioned cigarette pack flipping device for conveyors is as follows:

[0033] When loading cigarette packs, the device is first moved to the end of the conveyor and close to it. The conveyor belt rotates, causing the baffle 6 to move and placing the cigarette packs on the tilting plate 3. The drive motor 23 drives the transmission sprocket 21 to rotate, causing the tilting plate 3 to move upward a certain distance with the transmission chain 22. Then, the drive motor 23 stops rotating. At this time, the tilting plate 3 is above the end of the conveyor. The hydraulic telescopic arm is retracted to tilt the tilting plate 3, causing the cigarette packs on the tilting plate 3 to slide onto the conveyor and be blocked by the baffle 6, moving upward with the baffle 6. After completion, the hydraulic telescopic arm extends, bringing the tilting plate 3 to a horizontal position. The drive motor 23 is then turned to tilt the tilting plate 3 downward to its initial position to place the next cigarette pack. Compared with the prior art, this utility model, through the setting of the tilting frame 1, lifting mechanism 2, tilting plate 3, and telescopic mechanism 4, can realize labor-saving placement of cigarette packs on the conveyor, greatly reducing labor intensity and making it highly practical.

[0034] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
