Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco equipment technology, and more specifically to the field of a multi-level packaging mechanism for tobacco logistics. Background Technology

[0002] In a broad sense, tobacco logistics refers to the physical movement of tobacco and its products, along with all value-added activities in the distribution process, from production, acquisition, storage, transportation, processing to sales and service, using raw materials and auxiliary materials. Tobacco logistics requires packaging companies that can bundle multiple cartons of cigarettes together.

[0003] The existing packing mechanism works as follows: smoke is fed in via a conveyor belt, then stacked layer by layer by flipping plates. The receiving plate then dynamically lowers by one layer as it receives the next. After receiving the current pack, the receiving plate descends to its lowest limit. A pushing plate then pushes the current pack of smoke onto the intermediate chain plate. Finally, when the pushing plate pushes forward past the receiving plate, the receiving plate rises to its upper limit. Additionally, existing patents disclose the following technologies:

[0004] The patent with publication number CN219971036U, entitled "Flipping and Receiving Mechanism for Stacking Cartons of Cigarettes and a Carton Stacking Production Line," discloses the following: a frame and a flipping mechanism, which includes a rotating mechanism, a rotating shaft, a guide plate, and a flipping plate. The rotating shaft has a radially penetrating sliding hole, through which the flipping plate passes. The guide plate is vertically positioned on the side of the flipping plate, and a guide groove is provided on the side of the guide plate facing the flipping plate. The guide groove has two ports located at the top and bottom of the rotating shaft. Sliding members are provided at both ends of the side of the flipping plate closest to the guide plate. During operation, the sliding members slide into the guide groove from the lower port and out of the guide groove from the upper port, ensuring that at least one of the two sliding members on one side is always in the guide groove. When the flipping plate is in a horizontal state, it extends to receive cartons of cigarettes. The carton stacking production line utilizes this flipping mechanism to stack cartons of cigarettes. This invention offers higher efficiency in cyclically receiving and stacking cartons of cigarettes. However, the flipping and receiving mechanism disclosed in the aforementioned patent has the following problems:

[0005] 1. The smoke receiving plate is designed to be small and requires an external transition plate to push the smoke to the middle chain plate. In addition, the smoke receiving plate and the transition plate are set independently. The transition plate is fixed and the smoke receiving plate can be raised and lowered. During the descent of the smoke receiving plate, the two may jam the smoke bar. This situation can easily lead to a high smoke loss rate.

[0006] 2. Because the pusher plate is a single piece of plate, it is impossible to push a pack of cigarettes that needs to be packaged on the right side into the middle chain plate according to the packaging height when there is a layer or multiple layers of cigarettes on the left side. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-level packaging mechanism for tobacco logistics in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] This utility model provides a multi-level packing mechanism for tobacco logistics, including a first flipping cigarette receiving mechanism and a second flipping cigarette receiving mechanism arranged symmetrically, and an intermediate chain plate for receiving and transporting multiple packs of cigarettes to be packed is provided between the cigarette outlets of the first flipping cigarette receiving mechanism and the second flipping cigarette receiving mechanism.

[0010] Both the first and second flip smoke receiving mechanisms include a frame, a smoke inlet on the frame, a smoke outlet on one side of the frame, a lifting smoke receiving plate that cooperates with the smoke inlet inside the frame, a transition plate inside the frame, and a smoke pushing assembly on one side of the frame. The lifting smoke receiving plate and the transition plate are both horizontally arranged and connected as one unit.

[0011] Specifically, in this solution, the lifting and receiving plate and the transition plate are integrated into one piece. Since there is no gap between the lifting and receiving plate and the transition plate, it can effectively prevent the cigarette packs from getting stuck.

[0012] In one embodiment, the smoke pushing assembly includes multiple horizontally arranged smoke pushing rods arranged side by side from top to bottom, a vertical connecting rod connecting the multiple smoke pushing rods, and a horizontal drive mechanism that drives all the smoke pushing rods to move horizontally. All the smoke pushing rods are arranged horizontally at equal intervals, the distance between two adjacent smoke pushing rods is greater than the thickness of the lifting smoke receiving plate, and the distance between two adjacent smoke pushing rods is greater than the thickness of the transition plate.

[0013] Specifically, the original lifting and pushing smoke plate is replaced with multiple pushing rods. The smoke plates of both the first and second flipping smoke receiving mechanisms are also replaced with multiple pushing rods. This allows smoke to be packaged from the other side regardless of whether it enters from the first or second flipping smoke receiving mechanism, further increasing the variability of the incoming smoke. Since the lifting and pushing smoke plate can pass through the gap between any two adjacent pushing rods without obstruction, each pushing component can push the cigarettes on the lifting and pushing smoke receiving plate at different heights, truly enabling packaging of smoke from both sides. This allows for multi-level packaging, improving work efficiency, and also enables single-side packaging. Because the number and height of the packaged cigarettes can be flexibly adjusted, packaging materials can be effectively saved.

[0014] In one embodiment, the horizontal drive mechanism is one of a horizontal cylinder assembly, a horizontal electric cylinder assembly, a horizontal electric lead screw drive assembly, or an electric horizontal drive belt assembly.

[0015] In one embodiment, the horizontal drive mechanism is implemented using a conventional translation mechanism. In this embodiment, the horizontal mechanism is an electric translation drive belt assembly. The electric lifting drive belt assembly includes a horizontal motor, two horizontal sprockets, a horizontal chain, and a connecting block. The two horizontal sprockets are horizontally aligned, the output shaft of the horizontal motor is connected to one of the horizontal sprockets, the horizontal chain is mounted on the two horizontal sprockets, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the horizontal chain. Thus, under the rotation of the horizontal motor, the horizontal chain drives the smoke-pushing assembly to reciprocate horizontally.

[0016] In one embodiment, the smoke outlet of the first flipping smoke receiving mechanism is provided with a first smoke baffle that can be vertically raised and lowered, and the smoke outlet of the second flipping smoke receiving mechanism is provided with a second smoke baffle that can be vertically raised and lowered.

[0017] In one embodiment, the device further includes a lifting drive mechanism for driving the lifting smoke receiving plate. The lifting drive mechanism is one of a lifting cylinder assembly, a lifting electric cylinder assembly, a lifting electric lead screw assembly, or an electric lifting belt.

[0018] In one embodiment, a vertical guide device is also included in the frame. The vertical guide device includes a vertical slide rail and a slider that is slidably engaged in the vertical slide rail. The slider extends out of the vertical slide rail and is connected to the lifting smoke receiving plate by welding.

[0019] In one embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism is implemented using a conventional lifting mechanism. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism is an electric lifting drive belt assembly, which includes a lifting motor, two lifting sprockets, a lifting chain, and a connecting block. The two lifting sprockets are arranged vertically opposite each other. The output shaft of the lifting motor is connected to the lower lifting sprocket. The lifting chain is mounted on the two lifting sprockets, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the lifting chain. Thus, under the rotation of the lifting motor, the lifting smoke receiving plate moves up and down via the lifting chain.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] 1. This utility model has a reasonable design, which integrates the lifting and receiving plate and the transition plate into one piece. Since there is no gap between the lifting and receiving plate and the transition plate, it can effectively prevent the cigarette pack from getting stuck and damaged.

[0022] 2. This utility model replaces the original lifting cigarette pusher plate with multiple cigarette pushers. The cigarette pushers of both the first and second flipping cigarette receiving mechanisms are replaced with multiple cigarette pushers, enabling cigarettes to be packaged from the other side regardless of whether they are fed into the first or second flipping cigarette receiving mechanism. This further enhances the variability of the incoming cigarettes. Since the lifting cigarette receiving plate can pass through the gap between any two adjacent cigarette pushers without obstruction, each cigarette pusher component can push cigarettes on the lifting cigarette receiving plate at different heights, truly enabling packaging of cigarettes from both sides. This allows for multi-level packaging, improving work efficiency, and also enables single-side packaging. Because the number and height of the packaged cigarettes can be flexibly adjusted, packaging materials can be effectively saved. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-level packing mechanism for tobacco logistics, including a first flipping cigarette receiving mechanism and a second flipping cigarette receiving mechanism arranged symmetrically, and an intermediate chain plate 4 for receiving and transporting multiple packs of cigarettes to be packed is provided between the cigarette outlets of the first flipping cigarette receiving mechanism and the second flipping cigarette receiving mechanism;

[0035] Both the first and second flip smoke receiving mechanisms include a frame, a smoke inlet on the frame, a smoke outlet on one side of the frame, a lifting smoke receiving plate 2 that cooperates with the smoke inlet inside the frame, a transition plate inside the frame, and a smoke pushing assembly 1 on one side of the frame. The lifting smoke receiving plate 2 and the transition plate are both horizontally arranged and connected as one unit.

[0036] Specifically, in this solution, the lifting and lowering cigarette receiving plate 2 and the transition plate are made into one piece. Since there is no gap between the lifting and lowering cigarette receiving plate 2 and the transition plate, it can effectively prevent the cigarette pack from getting stuck.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-level packing mechanism for tobacco logistics, including a first flipping cigarette receiving mechanism and a second flipping cigarette receiving mechanism arranged symmetrically, and an intermediate chain plate 4 for receiving and transporting multiple packs of cigarettes to be packed is provided between the cigarette outlets of the first flipping cigarette receiving mechanism and the second flipping cigarette receiving mechanism;

[0039] Both the first and second flip smoke receiving mechanisms include a frame, a smoke inlet on the frame, a smoke outlet on one side of the frame, a lifting smoke receiving plate 2 that cooperates with the smoke inlet inside the frame, a transition plate inside the frame, and a smoke pushing assembly 1 on one side of the frame. The lifting smoke receiving plate 2 and the transition plate are both horizontally arranged and connected as one unit.

[0040] The smoke pushing assembly 1 includes multiple horizontally arranged smoke pushing rods arranged side by side from top to bottom, a vertical connecting rod connecting the multiple smoke pushing rods, and a horizontal drive mechanism that drives all the smoke pushing rods to move horizontally. All the smoke pushing rods are arranged horizontally at equal intervals. The distance between two adjacent smoke pushing rods is greater than the thickness of the lifting smoke receiving plate 2, and the distance between two adjacent smoke pushing rods is greater than the thickness of the transition plate.

[0041] Specifically, the original lifting and pushing smoke plate is replaced with multiple pushing smoke rods. The smoke plates of both the first and second flipping smoke receiving mechanisms are also replaced with multiple pushing smoke rods. This allows smoke to be packaged from the other side regardless of whether it enters from the first or second flipping smoke receiving mechanism, further enabling variability in the sorting of incoming smoke. Since the lifting and pushing smoke plate 2 can pass through the gap between any two adjacent pushing smoke rods without obstruction, each pushing smoke component 1 can push the cigarettes on the lifting and pushing smoke plate 2 at different heights, truly enabling packaging of smoke from both sides. This allows for multi-level packaging, improving work efficiency, and also enables single-side packaging. Because the number and height of the packaged cigarettes can be flexibly adjusted, packaging materials can be effectively saved.

[0045] The horizontal drive mechanism is implemented through a conventional translation mechanism. In this embodiment, the horizontal mechanism is an electric translation drive belt assembly. The electric lifting drive belt assembly includes a horizontal motor, two horizontal sprockets, a horizontal chain, and a connecting block. The two horizontal sprockets are arranged horizontally and correspondingly. The output shaft of the horizontal motor is connected to the horizontal sprocket located on one side. The horizontal chain is installed on the two horizontal sprockets. The connecting block is fixedly connected to the horizontal chain, so that under the rotation of the horizontal motor, the smoke pushing assembly 1 is driven to reciprocate horizontally through the horizontal chain.

[0046] The smoke outlet of the first flipping smoke receiving mechanism is equipped with a first smoke plate 3 that can be vertically raised and lowered, and the smoke outlet of the second flipping smoke receiving mechanism is equipped with a second smoke plate that can be vertically raised and lowered.

[0047] It also includes a lifting drive mechanism for driving the lifting smoke receiving plate 2, which is one of the following: lifting cylinder assembly, lifting electric cylinder assembly, lifting electric screw assembly, or electric lifting belt.

[0048] It also includes a vertical guide device installed in the frame. The vertical guide device includes a vertical slide rail and a slider that is slidably engaged in the vertical slide rail.

The two lifting sprockets are arranged vertically and vertically. The output shaft of the lifting motor is connected to the lower lifting sprocket. The lifting chain is mounted on the two lifting sprockets, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the lifting chain. Thus, under the rotation of the lifting motor, the lifting smoke receiving plate 2 is moved up and down through the lifting chain.
