[0002] Traditional cigarette pack transportation typically uses mobile transport vehicles to transfer cigarette packs. The transport vehicle is pulled to move the goods to the vicinity of the truck, and then the goods are manually scanned and entered into the system before being moved onto the truck.

[0003] In existing technologies, transport vehicles are large in size and cannot be folded for convenient storage, requiring a large amount of storage space; manual handling is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to damage or loss of cigarette packs, reducing the overall efficiency of cigarette pack transportation operations; manual scanning and data entry is not only inefficient but also has poor accuracy, which may lead to incorrect or missing data, affecting subsequent delivery of cigarette packs and thus the completion of cigarette pack orders. Utility Model Content

[0004] Given that existing technologies suffer from inconvenient storage in transport vehicles and low operational efficiency due to manual handling and data entry, which may lead to damage or loss of cigarette packs and affect delivery, this utility model provides a combined device for handling and conveying cigarette packs.

[0005] This utility model provides a cigarette pack handling and conveying combination device, including a handling trolley that can serve as a support frame, a conveying slide that can be detachably installed on the back of the handling trolley, and an intelligent scanning mechanism installed on the conveying slide. The handling trolley includes a vertical frame, a horizontal frame that is rotatably installed at the end of the vertical frame via an L-shaped connector, three impellers that are respectively installed on both sides of the vertical frame, and a connecting shaft disposed between the two three impellers.

[0006] When transporting goods, the transport trolley is placed upright with the three-bladed impeller in contact with the ground, and the goods to be transported are placed inside the transport trolley. When conveying goods, the transport trolley is placed upside down and placed under the first end of the conveyor slide to support the conveyor slide. The first end of the conveyor slide is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft, and the goods are transported to the truck through the conveyor slide.

[0007] Furthermore, the transport trolley also includes a fixed beam installed at the bottom of the vertical frame and a folding extension plate installed on the fixed beam via an opening and closing hinge; when the folding extension plate is folded to be parallel and tightly attached to the horizontal frame, the folding extension plate is used to extend the load-bearing length of the horizontal frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the vertical frame is equipped with a magnetic adsorption component. When the folding extension plate is flipped to be perpendicular and close to the vertical frame, the magnetic adsorption component fixes and adsorbs the folding extension plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the folding extension panel can be folded and opened from 0 to 90 degrees via the hinge.

[0010] Furthermore, the vertical frame and the horizontal frame can be opened and folded from 0 to 90 degrees via the L-shaped connector.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveying slide includes several horizontally distributed sliding components and several support beams installed vertically to the sliding components for fixing the sliding components. The support beam located at the first end of the conveying slide is snapped into the connecting shaft by a fastener.

[0012] Furthermore, the intelligent scanning mechanism includes an electric telescopic cylinder fixedly installed on the side of the conveyor slide, a rack fixedly installed with the telescopic end of the electric telescopic cylinder, a gear meshing with the rack, and a scanning device coaxially installed with the gear. The gear is installed on the conveyor slide through a bearing seat.

[0013] Furthermore, both of the three impellers are mounted to the vertical frame via mounting components, and the mounting components are provided with protective baffles parallel to the vertical frame for protecting the transported goods.

[0014] Furthermore, the transported items on the horizontal frame are covered with a rainproof cloth to prevent them from getting dirty.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This utility model patent utilizes a pulling trolley to transport goods to a conveyor chute. The trolley is then inverted and placed under the first end of the conveyor chute to support it. The first end of the conveyor chute is then fixedly engaged with a connecting shaft. The goods are placed on top of the first end of the conveyor chute, allowing them to automatically slide into the cargo truck due to gravity. In this structure, the trolley not only serves as a carrier for transporting goods but also acts as a support frame for the first end of the conveyor chute when inverted. This ensures efficient transport via the conveyor chute, enhances the convenience of the overall transport assembly, and reduces the risk of lost or damaged packages, further guaranteeing the overall efficiency of the transport operation.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a cigarette pack handling and conveying assembly device, including a handling trolley 1 that can serve as a support frame, a conveying slide 2 that can be detachably installed on the back of the handling trolley 1, and an intelligent barcode scanning mechanism 3 installed on the conveying slide 2. The handling trolley 1 includes a vertical frame 11, a horizontal frame 13 that is rotatably installed at the end of the vertical frame 11 via an L-shaped connector 12, three-bladed wheels 14 that are respectively installed on both sides of the vertical frame 11, and a connecting shaft 15 that is disposed between the two three-bladed wheels 14.

[0031] To further explain, when handling and transporting goods, the handling trolley 1 is placed upright with the three-bladed wheel 14 in contact with the ground, and the goods to be handled and transported are placed inside the handling trolley 1; when transporting goods, the handling trolley 1 is placed upside down and placed under the head end of the conveyor slide 2 to support the conveyor slide 2, and the head end of the conveyor slide 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 15, and the goods are transported to the truck through the conveyor slide 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the transport trolley 1 is pulled to move the goods to the conveyor chute 2. The transport trolley 1 is then inverted and placed under the first end of the conveyor chute 2 to support it. The first end of the conveyor chute 2 is then fixedly engaged with the connecting shaft 15. The goods are placed on top of the first end of the conveyor chute 2, allowing them to slide automatically into the truck due to gravity. In this structure, the transport trolley 1 not only serves as a carrier for transporting goods but also acts as a support frame for the first end of the conveyor chute 2 when inverted. This ensures efficient transport of the goods and enhances the convenience of the overall transport assembly. It also reduces the risk of lost or damaged packages, further guaranteeing the efficiency of the overall transport operation.

[0033] In this embodiment, the transported item is placed on the horizontal frame 13 of the transport trolley 1. The transport trolley 1 is pulled to transport the item to the beginning of the conveyor chute 2. The transport trolley 1 is then inverted and placed under the beginning of the conveyor chute 2, acting as a support frame. The transported item is placed at the beginning of the conveyor chute 2, allowing it to automatically slide into the truck under gravity. During the sliding process, the intelligent scanning mechanism 3 automatically scans and records the transported items passing over the conveyor chute 2, facilitating centralized management. The combined operation of the transport trolley 1 and the conveyor chute 2 makes transport operations more convenient and labor-saving. Furthermore, the scanning by the intelligent scanning mechanism 3 reduces the probability of lost or damaged items, further improving overall transport efficiency and ensuring the integrity of the transported items.

[0034] Furthermore, the vertical frame 11 and the horizontal frame 13 can be opened and folded from 0 to 90 degrees through the L-shaped connector 12, making it easier to store the transport trolley 1, taking up less space, and enhancing its practicality.

[0035] Furthermore, both impellers 14 are fixedly installed on the vertical frame 11 via mounting brackets 100. The mounting brackets 100 are provided with protective baffles 101 parallel to the vertical frame 11 to protect the transported goods. The vertical baffles can prevent damage to the transported goods caused by the scraping of the three impellers 14 during handling, and the protective baffles 101 can prevent water splashes from the three impellers 14 from contaminating the transported goods in rainy or snowy weather.

[0036] Furthermore, the connection shaft 15 makes the connection between the two and three impellers 14 more stable. The structure of the three impellers 14 allows the three wheels to rotate autonomously and alternately when the transport trolley 1 needs to be pulled, thereby enabling the transport trolley 1 to climb the stairs, which can save time and effort in the process of transporting goods up stairs.

[0037] Furthermore, the three-bladed impeller 14 is made of high-strength material, which further ensures the stability of rotation.

[0038] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib 102 is provided between the vertical frame 11 and the mounting component 100. The reinforcing rib 102 not only further reinforces the installation of the mounting component 100 and the vertical frame 11, but also reduces the weight pressure on the three-impeller 14, ensuring the flexibility of the movement of the three-impeller 14.

[0039] To further explain, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a detachable net bag 5 is installed on the vertical frame 11 via Velcro, which contains a rainproof cloth 4. In rainy or snowy weather, the rainproof cloth 4 can be placed over the outside of the transported goods, completely covering the transported goods placed on the horizontal frame 13 to prevent rain and snow from damaging the transported goods. The use of the rainproof cloth 4 can also prevent the transported goods on the horizontal frame 13 from falling apart, further ensuring the efficiency of the transport operation. The Velcro installation method enables the net bag to be detachable. The net bag is made of elastic material, which makes it easy to store the rainproof cloth 4.

[0040] Furthermore, this patented combination device can be applied to transporting items such as cigarette packs.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transport trolley 1 also includes a fixed beam 16 installed at the bottom of the vertical frame 11 and a folding extension plate 18 installed on the fixed beam 16 via an opening and closing hinge 17; when the folding extension plate 18 is folded to be parallel and tightly attached to the horizontal frame 13, the folding extension plate 18 is used to extend the load length of the horizontal frame 13.

[0042] In this embodiment, the folding extension plate 18 can be folded from 0 to 90 degrees by the hinge 17. When it is necessary to prevent small transport items from falling through the gaps in the horizontal frame 13, the folding extension plate 18 is folded parallel to the horizontal frame 13 to prevent the transport items from falling through the gaps in the horizontal frame 13. At this time, small transport items can be placed on the folding extension plate 18 for transport. The folding extension plate 18 can also extend the carrying length of the horizontal frame 13, so that the transport trolley 1 can carry more transport items, improve the transport efficiency of the transport trolley 1, and further enhance the adaptability and practicality of the transport trolley 1 to the transport items.

[0043] Furthermore, the vertical frame 11 is equipped with a magnetic adsorption component 19. When the folding extension board 18 is not needed to assist in transportation, the folding extension board 18 can be flipped so that it is perpendicular and close to the vertical frame 11. Then, the magnetic adsorption component 19 is used to fix and adsorb the folding extension board 18 to the vertical frame 11, so that the folding extension board 18 can be conveniently stored and ensure that the folding extension board 18 will not affect the transportation operation of the transport trolley 1.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the conveyor slide 2 includes several horizontally distributed sliding components 21 and several support beams 22 installed vertically to the sliding components 21 for fixing the sliding components 21. The support beam 22 located at the first end of the conveyor slide 2 is snapped to the connecting shaft 15 by a snap fastener.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sliding component 21 includes two parallel slide rails 211 and a plurality of rollers 212 mounted between the two slide rails 211 via a rotating shaft. The tail end of the conveying slide 2 is connected to the interior of the truck. The transported goods are placed at the head end of the conveying slide 2. Under the action of their own weight and the rolling of the rollers 212, the transported goods slide autonomously towards the tail end of the conveying slide 2 and slide into the truck. The goods are then manually stacked inside the truck. The sliding of the rollers 212 can reduce the friction between the transported goods and the contact surface of the conveying slide 2, so that the transported goods can slide more smoothly.

[0046] Furthermore, the support beam 22 is used to support and connect the sliding component 21, ensuring the stability of the sliding component 21 when transporting goods. The arrangement of several support beams 22 further ensures the stability of the sliding component 21. Moreover, the support beam 22 at the head end of the conveying slide 2 is connected and clamped to the connecting shaft 15 of the transport trolley 1, ensuring the tightness of the connection between the transport trolley 1 and the conveying slide 2, further enhancing the overall stability of the combined device and improving the efficiency of transporting goods.

[0047] Furthermore, any fastener available on the market can be used here to connect and clamp the support beam 22 at the beginning of the conveyor slide 2 to the connecting shaft 15 of the transport trolley 1.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the intelligent scanning mechanism 3 includes an electric telescopic cylinder 31 fixedly installed on the side of the conveyor slide 2, a rack 32 fixedly installed with the telescopic end of the electric telescopic cylinder 31, a gear 33 meshing with the rack 32, and a scanning device 34 coaxially installed with the gear 33. The gear 33 is installed on the conveyor slide 2 through a bearing seat 35.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the transported item is transported through the transport slide, the electric telescopic cylinder 31 is extended, causing the rack 32, which is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic cylinder 31, to move forward. This causes the gear 33, which meshes with the rack 32, to rotate counterclockwise. The barcode scanner 34, which is coaxially installed with the gear 33, also rotates counterclockwise. At this time, the barcode scanner 34 rotates from being perpendicular to the transport slide to being parallel to the transport slide. As a result, there is a scanning gap between the barcode scanner 34 and the transport slide that allows the transported item to pass through smoothly. When the transported item is transported into the scanning gap, the transported item is scanned and recorded.

[0050] After the transportation process is completed, the electric telescopic cylinder 31 is driven to retract, causing the rack 32, which is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic cylinder 31, to move backward. This causes the gear 33, which meshes with the rack 32, to rotate clockwise. The barcode scanner 34, which is coaxially installed with the gear 33, also rotates clockwise. At this time, the barcode scanner 34 rotates from being parallel to the transport slide to being perpendicular to the transport slide, which facilitates the overall storage of the transport slide 2.

[0051] To further explain, the electric telescopic cylinder 31 is installed on the side of the conveyor slide 2 via the first fixing plate, and the bearing seat 35 is installed on the side of the conveyor slide 2 via the second fixing plate. Both the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are screw-mounted to the conveyor slide 2, which makes it easier to install, disassemble and replace.

[0052] To further explain, the gear 33 is installed with the barcode scanner 34 via the rocker arm 36. The meshing of the gear 33 with the rack 32 allows the rocker arm 36 to swing from 0 to 90 degrees, thereby enabling the barcode scanner 34 to swing within the range of 0 to 90 degrees for intelligent barcode scanning.

[0053] To further explain, the intelligent scanning mechanism 3 is mainly used for recording the quantity and information of cigarette packs. It can automatically identify and record the number of cigarette packs that pass through. The scanning device 34 is equipped with a battery to drive its scanning operation. The data from the intelligent scanning mechanism 3 can be wirelessly fed back to the logistics digital platform in real time, enabling real-time updates to customer orders.

[0054] Furthermore, the combination of the transport trolley 1 and the conveyor chute 2 improves the convenience and flexibility of cargo transportation. The intelligent scanning mechanism 3 further enhances the management of transported goods, thereby enabling better distribution and improving the overall efficiency of transportation operations.

[0055] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Obvious variations or modifications derived from the spirit of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
