Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette box production technology, specifically to a material pushing device for a frame. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco manufacturing industry, the packaging of cigarette cartons is an important step before the sale of finished cigarettes. Traditionally, the pushing equipment of the cigarette box frame is used to move individual cartons to the next processing step. In this process, the feeding step is usually done manually, which means that workers need to manually place the cigarette boxes in the designated positions so that they can be further processed and assembled.

[0003] However, manual feeding has some limitations. It relies on the speed and frequency of manual operation, which may limit the overall efficiency of the production line. At the same time, long-term repetitive manual operation may lead to worker fatigue, increase labor costs, and may also introduce human error, affecting the final quality of the product. Manual operation near running machinery may also pose certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a material pushing device for a frame, comprising two upright plates and a guide frame, wherein a plurality of guide plates located below the guide frame are installed between the bottoms of the two upright plates, and two side plates are fixedly distributed opposite to the side wall, a storage component is provided between the guide frame and the guide plates, a movable plate is slidably connected between the two side plates, a plurality of push blocks opposite to the gap are installed on the movable plate, a prying block is fixedly installed on the push block by screws, the top of the push block is arc-shaped, and a driving component for driving the movable plate to move is installed between the two upright plates;

[0005] The storage assembly includes side stops installed in two of the guide rail tracks, stop bars installed on the remaining guide rails, and baffles provided on the guide frame to maintain a gap with the corresponding guide rails.

[0006] Furthermore, multiple threaded holes are provided inside the guide plate and on its sidewalls. The sidestops are located during the sliding of the guide plate and are fixed by screws passing through the sidewalls.

[0007] Furthermore, an adjusting block is slidably connected in the guide plate, and a stop rod is located between the adjusting block and the guide plate. The adjusting block is connected and fixed to the internal threaded hole by screws, and the stop rod is pressed down and fixed.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide frame is slidably connected to multiple slide plates fixed by screws, and the slide plates are also provided with multiple threaded holes inside and on the side walls. The baffle slides in the corresponding slide plate and is fixed by screws.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a rotating rod rotatably connected between two upright plates, and two sets of belt drive units are connected between the two rotating rods. The belt ends of the belt drive units are fixed to the moving plate, and a motor module for driving the rotating rod to rotate is installed on one of the upright plates.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The feeding device for this enclosure can store stacked enclosures through a storage component. The lowest enclosure is located on a guide plate, and then the moving plate is driven by a drive component, so the pusher block moves with it. The top arched surface of the enclosure lifts it up, and at the same time, the lifting block pushes the enclosure forward to a designated position, and then retracts. During the retraction process, because the top of the lifting block has a slope, the enclosure can be lifted up along the slope, so that the pusher block returns to the initial state. The above operation is repeated to complete the automatic feeding of enclosures, improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5This embodiment of a frame pushing device includes two relatively distributed upright plates 1 and a guide frame 9 located between the two upright plates 1. A side plate 12 is fixed between the same side walls of the two upright plates 1. A movable plate 13 slides on the side plate 12. Several push blocks 14 are fixedly installed on the movable plate 13 by screws. The top of the push block 14 is arc-shaped. A lifting block 15 is installed on the top of the push block 14 by screws. The top of the lifting block 15 forms a slope. At the same time, the top of the lifting block 15 is not on the same horizontal plane as the top of the push block 14. A driving assembly for driving the movable plate 13 to move is installed between the two upright plates 1. Several guide plates 5 located below the guide frame 9 are also installed between the bottoms of the two upright plates 1. A storage assembly is provided between the guide plates 5 and the guide frame 9.

[0020] In the above structure, stacked frames can be placed into the storage component, with the bottom frame on the guide plate. The push block is initially positioned below the frame and in contact with it. The top of the push block is arc-shaped. When the drive component moves the moving plate, it can push the push block, lifting the stacked frames through the arc surface. The push block continues to push forward, and under the action of the prying block, the prying block pushes one-third of the bottom frame, thus pushing the bottom frame out and pushing it forward until it is in contact with the right upright plate, reaching the designated position. When retracting, the tilting slope of the prying block can guide the frame to lift up, allowing the bottom frame to push the push block back to its original position. This operation is repeated by the drive component, thus completing the continuous pushing operation of the frames in the storage component. The frames pushed to the designated position are then transferred to the processing step by an external robot.

[0021] The drive assembly includes rotating rods 2 rotatably connected to the inner sides of two upright plates 1. Two sets of belt drive units 3 are connected to the outer sides of the rotating rods 2. The belt ends of the belt drive units 3 are fixed to the moving plate 13. A motor module 4, which drives the corresponding rotating rod 2, is installed on the back of the left upright plate 1. The motor module drives the left rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the right rotating rod to rotate. Simultaneously, the belt ends of the belt drive units also drive the moving plate to reciprocate left and right, thereby continuously pushing the frame with the pusher block and improving efficiency.

[0022] Additionally, the storage assembly includes side blocks 6 slidably connected to the leftmost and rightmost guide plates 5. Multiple threaded holes are provided inside and on the side walls of the guide plates 5. The side blocks 6 are fixed by screws passing through these threaded holes. Adjusting blocks 7, T-shaped, are slidably connected to the interior of the remaining guide plates 5 via screws and internal threaded holes. A stop bar 8, L-shaped, is positioned between the adjusting block 7 and the guide plate 5 and is fixed by locking the adjusting block 7. Multiple sliding plates 10, corresponding to their respective guide plates 5, slide on the guide frame 9 and are fixed by screws. Inside each sliding plate 10, a stop plate 11, fixed by screws, slides. The two side blocks limit the movement of the two ends of the enclosure, while the stop bar limits the left side of the enclosure. The stop plates, except for the bottom enclosure, limit the stacked enclosures above, thus forming a storage area for the enclosures. The bottom enclosure can be moved forward, while the stop bar prevents the lowest enclosure from retracting.

[0023] Meanwhile, when the frame size changes, the side guards can be adjusted to slide and fix in the guide plate. Locking the adjustment block also allows the stop bar to slide between the adjustment block and the guide plate to adjust the distance between the stop bar and the stop bar, completing small-distance adjustments. At the same time, the adjustment block and the stop bar can be moved to make large-distance adjustments. The stop bar can also slide in the slide plate to adjust the height. Therefore, when adjustments are needed, adjustments should be made according to the specified dimensions of the product.

[0024] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0025] First, the stacked frames are placed between the side rails, stop bars, and baffles, and supported by guide plates. The bottom frame is located below the baffle, and the push block is also in contact with the bottom frame. Then, the motor module drives the belt drive unit through the rotating rod, which can move the moving plate back and forth, thereby driving the push block to move. This allows the bottom frame to be pushed forward and in contact with the rightmost upright plate by the lifting block, and then it retracts. During the retraction process, because the lifting block has a slope, it can guide the frame to move upward. Therefore, during the retraction process, the frame will be lifted to a certain height before falling back onto the top of the push block. At the same time, the stop bar limits the frame and prevents the frame from retracting when the push block retracts. Then, the above operation is repeated to achieve automated material pushing and improve production efficiency.

[0026] The entire workflow is now complete, and anything not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
