Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco processing technology, specifically relating to a cigarette pack buffer device. Background Technology

[0002] The existing cigarette factory has 3 to 5 packaging machines that package cigarettes into cartons. The cartons are then output through their respective conveying equipment. The conveying equipment then converges to a single output machine, which transports the cartons to a carton sealing machine for packing. There is no buffer during the conveying process from the packaging machine to the carton sealing machine. The system controls the production speed of the packaging machine based on the sealing speed. If the carton sealing machine malfunctions or the sealing speed decreases for some reason, the speed of the packaging machine also needs to decrease, reducing packaging efficiency. If the packaging machine malfunctions or the speed decreases, the carton sealing machine waits for material supply, further reducing sealing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cigarette pack buffering device. When the sealing speed of the carton sealing machine decreases, the cigarette packs output by the packaging machine are buffered. When the packaging speed of the packaging machine decreases, the buffered cigarette packs are removed to increase the material supply of the carton sealing machine.

[0004] This utility model discloses a cigarette pack buffering device, comprising a frame, a small conveyor, a lifting storage platform, and a cigarette pack pushing mechanism. The small conveyor is mounted on the frame and is used for conveying cigarette packs. The lifting storage platform is mounted on the frame and arranged parallel to the small conveyor, and is used for storing cigarette packs. The cigarette pack pushing mechanism is mounted on the frame and located above the small conveyor and the lifting storage platform, and is used to push cigarette packs from the small conveyor onto the lifting storage platform and from the lifting storage platform onto the small conveyor. The cigarette pack pushing mechanism includes a guide rail, a slide table, a slide table pushing mechanism, a push plate A, and a push plate. B. The slide table reciprocates along the guide rail above the small conveyor and the lifting storage platform under the push of the slide table pushing mechanism. The push plate A is rotatably mounted on the slide table. When the push plate A is rotated upward to a high position, its bottom surface is higher than the cigarette packs on the small conveyor. When the push plate A is rotated downward to a low position, it can push the cigarette packs on the small conveyor onto the lifting storage platform along with the movement of the slide table. The push plate B is rotatably mounted on the slide table. When the push plate B is rotated upward to a high position, its bottom surface is higher than the cigarette packs on the lifting storage platform. When the push plate B is rotated downward to a low position, it can push the cigarette packs on the lifting storage platform onto the small conveyor along with the movement of the slide table.

[0005] The working principle of this utility model's cigarette pack buffer device is as follows: The cigarette pack buffer device is connected to a cigarette pack conveying device connected to a packaging machine via a small conveyor. During buffering operations, the cigarette pack conveying device connected to the packaging machine conveys the cigarette packs onto the small conveyor. The lifting storage platform rises to the same height as the small conveyor, and push plates A and B flip upwards to their high positions. In this state, the bottom surfaces of push plates A and B are higher than the cigarette packs on the small conveyor and the lifting storage platform. Thus, during the movement of the slide table, push plates A and B can avoid the cigarette packs. Then, the slide table pushing mechanism pushes the slide table onto the small conveyor. In one operation, push plate A flips downward to a low position, and the slide mechanism moves the slide to above the lifting storage platform. Push plate A, along with the slide, pushes the cigarette packs on the small conveyor onto the lifting storage platform. Push plate A then flips upward to a high position, and the lifting storage platform moves downward by the height of one cigarette pack. Simultaneously, the slide mechanism moves the slide back above the small conveyor, push plate A flips downward to a low position, and the slide mechanism moves the slide to above the lifting storage platform. Push plate A, along with the slide, pushes the cigarette packs on the small conveyor onto the already stored cigarette packs on the lifting storage platform. This process is used to store cigarette packs. When the buffered cigarette packs are removed, push plates A and B flip upwards to their high positions. The slide mechanism then moves the slide above the lifting storage platform. Push plate B flips downwards to its low position, and the slide mechanism again moves the slide above the small conveyor. Push plate B, along with the slide, pushes the top layer of cigarette packs on the lifting storage platform onto the small conveyor. The cigarette packs are then conveyed towards the sealing machine via the small conveyor. Push plate B flips upwards to its high position, and the lifting storage platform moves upwards by the height of one cigarette pack. Simultaneously, the slide mechanism moves the slide back above the lifting storage platform. Push plate B flips downwards to its low position, and the slide mechanism again moves the slide above the small conveyor. Push plate B, along with the slide, pushes the top layer of cigarette packs on the lifting storage platform onto the small conveyor. This process is used to remove the cigarette packs.

[0006] Furthermore, a cigarette bar front stop mechanism is installed on the frame. The cigarette bar front stop mechanism is used to block the cigarette bars on the small conveyor at the front end of the small conveyor, so that the cigarette bars are arranged statically on the small conveyor, making it convenient for the pusher plate A to push the cigarette bars to the lifting storage platform.

[0007] Furthermore, a cigarette pack back stop mechanism is installed on the frame. The cigarette pack back stop mechanism is used to block the cigarette packs from being transported on the small conveyor at the tail end of the small conveyor, so that no cigarette packs are transported on the small conveyor, making it convenient for the pusher plate B to push the cigarette packs onto the small conveyor.

[0008] This utility model discloses a cigarette pack buffering device, comprising a frame, a small conveyor, a lifting storage platform, and a cigarette pack pushing mechanism. The cigarette pack pushing mechanism includes a guide rail, a slide table, a slide table pushing mechanism, a push plate A, and a push plate B. The small conveyor is used for conveying cigarette packs. The slide table, pushed by the slide table pushing mechanism, reciprocates along the guide rail above the small conveyor and the lifting storage platform. Push plates A and B are rotatably mounted on the slide table. By flipping push plate A downward and moving the slide table from above the small conveyor to above the lifting storage platform, push plate A pushes the cigarette packs conveyed on the small conveyor onto the lifting storage platform for cigarette pack storage. By flipping push plate B downward and moving the slide table from above the lifting storage platform to above the small conveyor, push plate B pushes the cigarette packs on the lifting storage platform onto the small conveyor for cigarette pack removal. In this way, when the sealing speed of the carton sealing machine decreases, the cigarette packs output by the packaging machine are buffered; when the packaging speed of the packaging machine decreases, the buffered cigarette packs are removed to increase the supply of the carton sealing machine.
