Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cigarette equipment technology, specifically to a lift-type cigarette packaging equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The pull-out cigarette pack differs from ordinary cigarette packs in its opening mechanism. It achieves opening by attaching an inner sliding strip to the lid and cutting the back of the lid. Therefore, the firmness of the attachment between the inner sliding strip and the lid is crucial. If the attachment is weak, the lid will separate directly from the pack, causing product quality issues and affecting the user experience. The pull-out cigarette packaging equipment is based on the existing ZB45 equipment, relying on the inner sliding strip and the cutting and separation of the cigarette pack label paper lid to achieve the pull-out opening of the cigarette pack lid. This equipment uses pre-cut inner sliding strips and inner frame paper. Through a series of mechanical transmissions and the cooperation of a servo motor system, the equipment completes the processes of picking up, conveying, and positioning the pre-cut inner sliding strips and inner frame paper. A hot melt adhesive control system is used to apply glue to the inner frame paper and attach the inner lining paper. The auxiliary machine uses laser cutting technology to cut the label paper of the pull-out cigarette pack. During the production process of the lifting-type cigarette packs, all rejections from the main machine will not create gaps in the outlet channel of the lifting-type cigarette pack conveyor wheel (wheel number 8 for the ZB45 equipment). This ensures that the cigarette packs entering the outlet channel of the lifting-type cigarette pack conveyor wheel are continuous and tightly packed. This continuous tightness between the cigarette packs presses the adhesive between the inner slide strip and the box cover, allowing them to be firmly bonded.

[0003] However, when the main unit temporarily stops, the inner slide strip of the cigarette pack on the lifting cigarette pack conveyor wheel cannot be compressed in time. The adhesive dots on the inner slide strip dry before being pressed and adhered to the box lid, resulting in cigarette packs with loose inner slide strips. After restarting, operators have to manually remove these cigarette packs from the lifting cigarette pack conveyor wheel. However, this method is highly dependent on human intervention and is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a lift-type cigarette packaging device, which includes a lift-type cigarette pack conveyor wheel 1, a cigarette pack channel 2, and an air nozzle 3. The lift-type cigarette pack conveyor wheel 1 is used to convey the lift-type cigarette pack. The cigarette pack channel 2 is located at the outlet of the lift-type cigarette pack conveyor wheel 1, and the lift-type cigarette pack conveyor wheel 1 can convey the lift-type cigarette pack to the cigarette pack channel 2. The air nozzle 3 is located on the cigarette pack channel 2, and the blowing direction of the air nozzle 3 is towards the cigarette pack channel 2 and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the lift-type cigarette pack on the cigarette pack channel 2. The air nozzle 3 is used to blow the lift-type cigarette pack out of the cigarette pack channel 2.

[0022] The lifting cigarette packaging equipment provided in the embodiments of this application allows for the removal of problematic cigarette packs that may have issues with the inner sliding strip not being firmly attached, which remain in the lifting cigarette pack conveyor wheel 1 during shutdown. These cigarette packs can then be blown out using the air nozzle 3, thus eliminating the problem and reducing reliance on human intervention, making operation more convenient.

[0023] In some embodiments, the lift-type cigarette packaging equipment further includes a solenoid valve 4, which is disposed on the compressed air pipeline for supplying air to the nozzle 3, and is used to control the start and stop of air blowing from the nozzle 3. In this embodiment, the solenoid valve 4 allows for convenient control of air blowing from the nozzle 3. Preferably, the solenoid valve 4 can be a high-speed solenoid valve, which features fast response and high-frequency operation, enabling more accurate rejection of problematic cigarette packs.

[0024] In some embodiments, the pull-type cigarette packaging equipment further includes a controller 5 and a cigarette pack counter 6. The controller 5 is connected to the cigarette pack counter 6 and also to a solenoid valve 4. The cigarette pack counter 6 is used to count the pull-type cigarette packs conveyed by the pull-type cigarette pack conveyor wheel 1. The controller 5 can control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 4 based on the counting information of the cigarette pack counter 6. Preferably, the controller 5 can be a programmable logic controller (PLC), and the cigarette pack counter 6 can be a proximity switch. In this embodiment, the number of pull-type cigarette packs with quality problems can be accurately obtained through the cigarette pack counter 6, and then the duration of continuous opening of the solenoid valve 4 can be determined by the conveying speed of the cigarette pack channel 2, thereby achieving accurate rejection of pull-type cigarette packs with quality problems.

[0025] In some embodiments, the lift-type cigarette packaging equipment further includes a device operation contactor 7, which is used to detect the operating status of the lift-type cigarette packaging equipment. The device operation contactor 7 is connected to the controller 5, and the controller 5 can control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 4 based on the device operation information from the device operation contactor 7 and the counting information from the cigarette pack counter 6. In this embodiment, the device operation contactor 7 can promptly obtain the start-up and shutdown status of the equipment, thereby detecting the corresponding operating condition when the equipment stops, and initiating the corresponding rejection procedure when the equipment restarts, accurately determining the opening timing of the solenoid valve 4, and achieving precise rejection.

[0026] In some embodiments, the lift-type cigarette packaging device further includes a compressed air source 8, which is connected to the nozzle 3 via a compressed air pipeline. Exemplarily, the compressed air source 8 can be an air pump, a high-pressure air tank, etc. The compressed air source 8 provides high-pressure air to the nozzle 3, enabling blowing to remove defective cigarette packs.

[0027] In some embodiments, the lift-type cigarette packaging equipment further includes a cigarette pack collecting device 9. The cigarette pack collecting device 9 is disposed outside the cigarette pack channel 2 and opposite to the air nozzle 3. The cigarette pack collecting device 9 is used to collect the lift-type cigarette packs that have been blown out of the cigarette pack channel 2 by the air nozzle 3. In this embodiment, by providing the cigarette pack collecting device 9, rejected cigarette packs can be collected, thereby facilitating the subsequent processing of the cigarette packs.

[0028] In some embodiments, a Siemens 200 series PLC can be used to collect equipment start and stop signals, as well as the cigarette pack counting signal from the lifting cigarette pack conveyor wheel (wheel 8). After internal signal and data processing, the PLC controls the precise removal of cigarette packs at the cigarette pack channel using a high-speed solenoid valve in conjunction with an air nozzle. Specifically, a Siemens 200 series PLC can be used to collect the cigarette pack counter detection signal from wheel 8 to PLC / I0.0 and the equipment operation contactor 2K11 signal to PLC / I0.3. The high-speed solenoid valve is connected to the PLC output Q0.3, and compressed air lines are connected to the solenoid valve and the air nozzle. Finally, the air nozzle is installed in the cigarette pack channel. The PLC can collect equipment start and stop signals and cigarette pack production counting signals. After stopping and resuming production, the PLC performs shift processing based on the cigarette pack counter signal. After the data shift is completed, the high-speed solenoid valve is activated according to a set time to complete the removal of cigarette packs.

[0029] The lifting-type cigarette packaging equipment provided in the embodiments of this application innovatively adopts an automatic control device for cigarette pack rejection after the equipment is stopped and restarted. This effectively replaces the original manual process of picking up cigarette packs and greatly reduces the risk of cigarette packs with insecure inner strip adhesion flowing into the next process caused by short-term shutdowns.
