[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the auxiliary device for packing cigarette cartons of this utility model includes:
[0027] Conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey the cigarette packs to be packed into boxes;
[0028] The steering mechanism 2 is located at the rear end of the conveying mechanism 1 in the conveying direction, and is used to adjust the posture of the passing cigarette packs and turn them vertically.
[0029] The palletizing mechanism 3 is located below the steering mechanism 2 and is used to receive the cigarette packs after the steering mechanism 2 has adjusted their posture and to stack them.
[0030] In use, the cigarette packs to be packed are placed horizontally on the conveying mechanism 1 and then conveyed to the turning mechanism 2. The turning mechanism 2 adjusts the posture of the cigarette packs, turning the horizontal cigarette packs into vertical cigarette packs. The vertical cigarette packs are then stacked by the stacking mechanism 3. When five cigarette packs are stacked together, the staff transfer the entire stack of cigarette packs to the cigarette box, reducing the labor intensity of the staff.
[0031] Preferably, the conveying mechanism 1 is a conveyor belt structure or conveyor in the prior art, so the specific structure will not be described in detail here.
[0032] In one embodiment, the steering mechanism 2 includes an arc-shaped pipe 21 for receiving cigarette packs and a mounting plate 22 for mounting the arc-shaped pipe 21 on the conveying mechanism 1. The arc length of the arc-shaped pipe 21 is a quarter circle. This design, by setting the mounting plate 22, facilitates the positioning of the arc-shaped pipe 21, enabling it to receive cigarette packs conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1. By setting the arc length of the arc-shaped pipe 21 to a quarter circle, it is easy to change the horizontal cigarette packs into a vertical position.
[0033] Preferably, the mounting plate 22 is disposed on the arc-shaped pipe 21 and its two ends are respectively mounted on the conveying mechanism 1 by screws. This design facilitates the positioning of the mounting plate 22, thereby achieving the positioning of the arc-shaped pipe 21.
[0034] In one embodiment, the palletizing mechanism 3 includes a support 31 for receiving cigarette packs after their posture has been adjusted, a pushing mechanism 32 for palletizing the cigarette packs, and a blocking plate 33 disposed on one side of the support 31 to block the pushed cigarette packs. This design facilitates the palletizing of cigarette packs by using the pushing mechanism 32, and the blocking plate 33 helps to prevent the stacked cigarette packs from being moved, making it easier for workers to transfer the entire stack of cigarette packs.
[0035] In one embodiment, the pushing mechanism 32 includes a cylinder 321 disposed on the support 31 and on the side away from the baffle plate 33, and a push plate 322 disposed on the output end of the cylinder 321. This design, by providing the cylinder 321 and the push plate 322, facilitates pushing the cigarette pack to the baffle plate 33 after it falls onto the support 31, and then resetting it after being pushed to the baffle plate 33 to receive the next cigarette pack.
[0036] In one embodiment, the support 31 is provided with limiting plates 34 on both sides of the push plate 322 for limiting the movement of the cigarette packs. This design allows the cigarette packs to move within the limiting plates 34 on both sides of the push plate 322, preventing the cigarette packs from tilting and facilitating the stacking of the cigarette packs into piles.
[0037] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 is provided with a guide mechanism 4 for guiding the cigarette packs to the turning mechanism 2. The guide mechanism 4 includes guide plates 41 disposed on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, with the distance between the end of the guide plates 41 closest to the turning mechanism 2 being smaller than the distance between the end of the guide plates 41 furthest from the turning mechanism 2. This design, by setting the guide mechanism 4 and ensuring that the front end of the guide plate 41 is larger than the rear end of the guide plate 41, ensures that the cigarette packs can enter the turning mechanism 2 normally, facilitating the adjustment of the cigarette packs' posture.
[0038] In one embodiment, the guide plate 41 includes an inclined section 411 away from the steering mechanism 2 and a straight section 412 close to the steering mechanism 2 and connected to the inclined section 411. This design allows for the guidance of cigarette packs with irregular postures by using the inclined section 411, and ensures that the cigarette packs accurately enter the steering mechanism 2 by using the straight section 412.
[0039] In one embodiment, the inclined segment 411 is rotatably mounted on the conveying mechanism 1, and a groove 413 is provided on the outer side of the straight segment 412. A fixing plate 414 is provided on the straight segment 412 of the conveying mechanism 1, and a threaded rod 415 with one end slidably disposed within the groove 413 is threadedly connected to the fixing plate 414. This design, by providing the groove 413 and the threaded rod 415, allows the distance between the two straight segments 412 to be adjusted as needed, thereby enabling the guide mechanism 4 to adapt to different types of cigarette packs and facilitating its use.
[0040] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 is provided with a leveling mechanism 5 at the front end of the guiding mechanism 4 for leveling multiple layers of cigarette packs. The leveling mechanism 5 includes a leveling plate 51 disposed above the conveying mechanism 1 and an arc-shaped plate 52 disposed in front of the leveling plate 51. This design, by setting up the leveling mechanism 5, can prevent the cigarette packs from stacking. The leveling mechanism 5 will intercept the top cigarette packs of multiple layers of cigarette packs, ensuring that a single cigarette pack enters the turning mechanism 2.
[0041] Preferably, the height of the flat plate 51 from the conveying mechanism 1 is higher than one pack of cigarettes and lower than two packs of cigarettes. This design avoids the passage of multiple packs of cigarettes.
[0042] In one embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 6 for adjusting the height of the flattening plate 51. The adjustment mechanism 6 includes a fixed sleeve 61 disposed on the conveying mechanism 1 and a rotating rod 62 threaded into the fixed sleeve 61. The top end of the rotating rod 62 is rotatably disposed on the flattening plate 51. This design allows the height of the flattening plate 51 to be adjusted as needed by the adjustment mechanism 6, thus making the flattening plate 51 suitable for different types of cigarette packs.
[0043] Preferably, the rotating rod 62 is provided with a handle 63. This design facilitates the operator to rotate the rotating rod 62 and adjust its length within the fixed sleeve 61 via a threaded connection, thereby adjusting the height of the flat plate 51.
[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
