Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette conveying, specifically a cigarette speed-boosting chain guiding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The current integrated tobacco logistics storage and sorting system uses a "fine and standard cigarette combined" sorting line, initially designed for an optimal sorting state where slim cigarettes account for 30% of the total slim and standard cigarette volume. However, slim cigarette sales now peak at around 50% of total sales, leading to a decrease in overall equipment operating efficiency. Currently, existing cigarette speed conveyors only support standard and slim cigarettes, lacking compatibility due to their single-mode transport capability. To improve the overall operational capacity of the storage and distribution sorting equipment and address the increasing trend of slim cigarette sales, a more compatible cigarette speed conveyor system is planned for development.
[0003] The equipment consists of five main parts: the main conveyor body, the inlet conveyor, the guiding mechanism, the conveyor wheels, and the output lifting mechanism. The full-size cigarette double-speed conveyor is constructed using a metal frame assembly method, with all components functionally installed and fixed to the main conveyor body. The conveying power is provided by the bottom conveyor wheels. During operation, cigarettes are conveyed to the inlet of the double-speed conveyor, where they are accurately and smoothly fed into the chain with the assistance of the inlet guide, and neatly stored by the guiding mechanism.
[0004] Traditional guiding mechanisms use cylinders to drive guide plates to move, thus adapting to different types of smoke. However, the traditional cylinder-driven method requires a large amount of space due to the length of the cylinders, especially for parallel conveyor chains. If a cylinder or other guiding structure is added between two conveyor chains, it may be impossible to install due to the small gap between the two chains. This would require adjusting the spacing between the two conveyor chains and redesigning the conveyor chain layout, resulting in high modification costs, time and labor costs, and a large space occupation. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems and provide a cigarette speed-up chain guiding mechanism that occupies little space, does not require adjustment of the conveyor chain layout, and has low modification costs.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0007] A cigarette speed-boosting chain guide mechanism includes a fixed frame supported on a speed-boosting chain bracket, rotating rods arranged parallel to each other at the front and rear ends of the fixed frame, and guide plates arranged parallel to each other on the left and right sides of the fixed frame. The two ends of the rotating rods are rotatably connected to the corresponding ends of the two guide plates, and the fixed frame is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the guide plates to move.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the fixing frame is provided with a mounting plate.
[0009] Further, the rotating rod is rotatably connected between the middle position and the fixed frame.
[0010] Further, the guide plate is provided with an arc-shaped part at both ends.
[0011] Further, the fixed frame is provided with a fixed plate at the bottom, and a plurality of inductive switches are arranged on the fixed plate along the rotating direction of the rotating rod.
[0012] Further, the driving mechanism comprises a cylinder, the cylinder body end is rotatably connected between the fixed frame, and the cylinder piston rod end is rotatably connected with the guide plate.
[0013] Further, the guide plate comprises a horizontal part and a vertical part, and the horizontal part is provided with a groove matched with the rotating shaft of the cylinder body end.

[0023] In order to make the personnel in the technical field better understand the technical scheme in the utility model, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0024] Embodiment one:
[0025] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a cigarette speed-up chain guide mechanism, including fixed frame 1 supported on speed-up chain support, rotating rod 2 arranged in parallel at the front and rear ends of the fixed frame 1, guide plate 3 arranged in parallel at the left and right sides of the fixed frame 1, the two ends of the rotating rod 2 are respectively rotatably connected with the corresponding end of the two guide plates 3, and the fixed frame 1 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the guide plate 3 to move. When working, for different sizes of different specifications of cigarette boxes, the driving mechanism drives the guide plate 3 on one side to move, and under the action of the rotating rod 2, the guide plates 3 on both sides move synchronously in the same direction or in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the guidance of the parallel cigarette speed-up chain, and the rotating rod drives the guide plate 3 to move, occupying small space.
[0026] As shown in Figure 1 , the bottom of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a mounting plate 4, and the two ends of the mounting plate 4 are respectively connected with the speed-up chain supports on both sides through bolts.
[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , the rotating rod 2 is rotatably connected between the middle position and the fixed frame 1.
[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , the two ends of the guide plate 3 are provided with arc-shaped parts.
[0029] As shown in Figure 3 , the bottom of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a fixed plate 6, and a plurality of inductive switches 7 are arranged on the fixed plate 6 along the rotating direction of the rotating rod 2, and the plurality of inductive switches 7 are arranged in a circular arc array, and the center of the circular arc array overlaps with the rotating shaft of the rotating rod 2. The inductive switch 7 senses the rotating angle of the rotating rod 2, and the rotating angle of the rotating rod 2 can be adjusted according to the different sizes of the cigarette boxes, and the accuracy is high.
[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the drive mechanism includes a cylinder 5, the cylinder 5 is rotatably connected between the fixed frame 1 and the cylinder body end, and the piston rod end of the cylinder 5 is rotatably connected with the guide plate 3. The cylinder 5 drives the guide plate 3 to move through the extension and retraction of the piston rod, and the guide plates 3 on both sides move under the action of the rotating rod 2. When the guide plates 3 on both sides are attached together, the cylinder and the guide plate 3 and the rotating plate overlap, and the occupied space is small.
[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the guide plate 3 includes a horizontal part and a vertical part, and the horizontal part is provided with a groove matched with the rotating shaft of the cylinder body end. After the guide plates 3 are attached together, the rotating shaft of the cylinder body end is located in the groove, and the occupied space is small. The end of the rotating rod 2 is rotatably connected with the bottom of the horizontal part, so that after the guide plates 3 are attached together, the rotating rod 2 is located below the horizontal part, the occupied space is small, and when the guide plates 3 are attached together, the cylinder is located in the space between the two vertical parts above the horizontal part, thereby realizing full utilization of the space.
[0032] Example two:
[0033] As Figure 4 shown, the drive mechanism includes a motor 8 arranged at the bottom of the fixed frame 1 to drive the rotating rod 2 to rotate.
