[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the cigarette packaging equipment is used to fold and transport cigarette packs 10. The cigarette pack 10 has a top 11, a bottom 12, and a side 13. The cigarette packaging equipment includes a feeding position 101, a cigarette protection position 102, a discharging position 103, and a cigarette protection device 100. The cigarette protection device 100 is located at the cigarette protection position 102. The cigarette protection device 100 includes a base 110 and at least two guide plates 120. Each guide plate 120 is located on the same side of the base 110 and is spaced apart. At least one guide groove 121 is formed between two adjacent guide plates 120 and the base 110. The cigarette pack 10 is transported from the feeding position 101 along a first direction to the guide groove 121 for folding. The folded cigarette pack 10 with its top 11 and bottom 12 is transported from the guide groove 121 along a second direction to the discharging position 103. The guide groove 121 is used to protect the top 11, bottom 12, and side 13 of the cigarette pack 10. The first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0040] It should be noted that the first direction is Figure 3 The X direction shown is the length direction of the smoke protection device 100; the second direction is... Figure 3 The Z direction shown is the height direction of the smoke protection device 100; the third direction is... Figure 1 The Y direction shown is the width direction of the smoke protection device 100.

[0041] Here, the top 11 and bottom 12 of the tobacco pack 10 are along Figure 1 As shown, the tobacco packs are relatively distributed along the Y direction, with the packs 10 along... Figure 1 The diagram shows two sides 13 with relative distribution in the X direction. (Reference) Figure 2 and Figure 3 The feeding position 101, the smoke protection position 102, and the unloading position 103 are sequentially arranged along the conveying path of the tobacco package 10. The guide groove 121 is located at the smoke protection position 102. The top 11 and bottom 12 of the tobacco package 10 located at the feeding position 101 are not folded. The tobacco package 10 is conveyed from the feeding position 101 along the... Figure 1 As shown, the cigarette pack 10 is conveyed in the X direction and folded in the guide groove 121. The folded cigarette pack 10 with the top 11 and bottom 12 is then conveyed along the guide groove 121. Figure 1The material is conveyed to the unloading position 103 in the Z direction. Among them, the cigarette pack 10 is a medium-fine cigarette pack 10, and the cigarette packaging equipment is a medium-fine GDX2 packaging machine.

[0042] In the cigarette packaging equipment described above, during the process of the cigarette pack 10 being conveyed from the feeding position 101 along the first direction to the guide groove 121 for folding, each guide folding plate 120 works together to fold and protect the top 11 and bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10; during the process of the cigarette pack 10 with the top 11 and bottom 12 folded being conveyed from the guide groove 121 along the second direction to the unloading position 103, the guide groove 121 formed by the seat 110 and each guide folding plate 120 protects the side 13, top 11, and bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10 to prevent the folded corners from springing open during the conveying process and causing poor folding. The cigarette protection device 100 can realize the folding and protection of the top 11, bottom 12, and side 13 of the medium and thin cigarette pack 10, ensuring stable product quality while improving production efficiency.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, the base 110 of the smoke protection device 100 is a component for mounting the guide plate 120 and cooperating with the guide plate 120 to jointly protect the smoke pack 10. The base 110 can have various structural forms. The base 110 can be a one-piece structure, for example, the base 110 is a one-piece square block structure; or, the base 110 can also be a split structure, for example, the base 110 is two split square block structures.

[0044] In the embodiments of this application, the guide plate 120 of the smoke protection device 100 is a component for folding and protecting the cigarette pack 10, and the guide plate 120 can have various structural forms. For example, each guide plate 120 has a strip-shaped structure, and each guide plate 120 is along... Figure 3 It extends in the X direction as shown.

[0045] In the embodiments of this application, each guide plate 120 is disposed on the same side of the base 110 and spaced apart. Each guide plate 120 and the base 110 can be a separate structure, and can be detachably connected by means of plug-in, snap-fit, etc.; each guide plate 120 and the base 110 can also be an integral structure, and can be integrally formed by means of injection molding, casting, etc. Figure 3 The guide plates 120 are distributed at intervals in the Y direction. The intervals between each guide plate 120 can be equal or non-equal. The size and shape of each guide plate 120 are the same to facilitate the folding and protection of the cigarette pack 10.

[0046] For details, please refer to Figure 6 Each guide plate 120 has a guide surface 122 at the end away from the seat 110. The guide surface 122 is used to guide the cigarette pack 10 into the guide groove 121 along the first direction.

[0047] It should be noted that each guide plate 120 has a first end and a second end along the first direction. The end of each guide plate 120 away from the seat 110 is also the second end. The guide surface 122 is located at the second end, and the first end is used to connect with the seat 110.

[0048] The beneficial effect here is that during the process of the cigarette pack 10 being conveyed from the feeding position 101 to the guide groove 121 for folding, under the guidance of the guide surface 122, the cigarette pack 10 can be guided into the guide groove 121 more quickly along the first direction, so as to facilitate the subsequent rapid folding and protection of the top 11 and bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10, which helps to improve the conveying efficiency of the cigarette pack 10.

[0049] In the embodiments of this application, the guide surface 122 is a structure that guides the conveying of the cigarette pack 10, and the guide surface 122 can take various structural forms. For example, the guide surface 122 is a groove structure that penetrates the bottom side of the guide plate 120, or the guide surface 122 is a groove structure that penetrates the bottom side and the inner side of the guide plate 120.

[0050] For a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The guide surface 122 is constructed as an arc-shaped structure extending through the inner side of the guide plate 120.

[0051] It should be noted that the inner side of the guide plate 120 is defined as the side of the guide plate 120 facing the guide groove 121. In two adjacent guide plates 120, the sides of the guide plates 120 facing the guide groove 121 are not the same; for example, referring to… Figure 7 Each guide plate 120 has a first side 123 and a second side 124 arranged opposite to each other along a third direction. The side of one guide plate 120 facing the guide groove 121 is the side where the first side 123 is located, and the side of the other guide plate 120 facing the guide groove 121 is the side where the second side 124 is located, so that the guide surfaces 122 of the two guide plates 120 form an inlet that is approximately bracket-shaped, so that the cigarette pack 10 enters the guide groove 121 under the guidance of the inlet.

[0052] The beneficial effect here is that during the process of the cigarette pack 10 being conveyed from the feeding position 101 along the first direction to the guide groove 121 for folding, since the guide surface 122 is an arc surface structure, the probability of the cigarette pack 10 being scratched due to the sharp corners of the guide surface 122 can be reduced, thereby improving the guiding and protective effect on the cigarette pack 10.

[0053] In the embodiments of this application, the guide surface 122 of each guide plate 120 is an arc-shaped structure, and the type and size of the arc-shaped structure are the same, so as to facilitate the guidance and protection of the same batch of cigarette packs 10. The arc-shaped structure can be a concave arc surface, a parabolic surface, or other types of arc surface, and the specific type of arc-shaped structure is not limited here.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 8 to 9 Each guide plate 120 has a first side 123 and a second side 124 arranged opposite to each other along a third direction. The seat 110 has a third side 110a on one side along the first direction. The third direction, the first direction and the second direction intersect each other but are not coplanar. The first side 123, the second side 124 and the third side 110a form a guide groove 121. The first side 123 is used to abut against the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10, the second side 124 is used to abut against the top 11 of the cigarette pack 10, and the third side 110a is used to abut against the side 13 of the cigarette pack 10.

[0055] It should be noted that the first direction is Figure 8 The X direction shown is the length direction of the smoke protection device 100; the second direction is... Figure 8 The Z direction shown is the height direction of the smoke protection device 100; the third direction is... Figure 8 The Y direction shown is the width direction of the smoke protection device 100.

[0056] Here, a first side 123 of a guide plate 120, a second side 124 of another adjacent guide plate 120, and a third side 110a of the base 110 form a guide groove 121. At least one guide groove 121 is formed between two adjacent guide plates 120 and the base 110, and the guide groove 121 extends along... Figure 8 The side shown in the X direction has an opening, through which the cigarette pack 10 can slide into the guide groove 121.

[0057] The beneficial effects here are as follows: during the process of the cigarette pack 10 being conveyed sequentially by the feeding position 101, the guide groove 121, and the unloading position 103, the first side 123 can protect the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10, the second side 124 can protect the top 11 of the cigarette pack 10, and the third side 110a can protect the side 13 of the cigarette pack 10, thereby ensuring stable product quality while improving production efficiency.

[0058] In the embodiments of this application, the first side 123 is designed to mimic the shape of the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10, that is, the first side 123 has the same shape as the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10, so that the first side 123 fits the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10 better. For example, if the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10 is a planar structure, then correspondingly, the first side 123 is also a planar structure.

[0059] In the embodiments of this application, the second side 124 is designed to mimic the shape of the top 11 of the cigarette pack 10, that is, the second side 124 has the same shape as the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10, so that the second side 124 fits better with the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10. For example, if the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10 is a planar structure, the second side 124 is also a planar structure.

[0060] In the embodiments of this application, the third side 110a is designed to mimic the shape of the side 13 of the cigarette pack 10, that is, the third side 110a has the same shape as the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10, so that the third side 110a fits the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10 better. For example, if the bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10 is a planar structure, the third side 110a is also a planar structure.

[0061] For details, please refer to Figures 8 to 9 The first side 123, the second side 124 and the third side 110a are all constructed as planar structures.

[0062] The beneficial effect here is that the first side 123, the second side 124 and the third side 110a have the same shape as the bottom 12, the top 11 and the side 13 of the cigarette pack 10. The first side 123, the second side 124 and the third side 110a can fit better with the bottom 12, the top 11 and the side 13 of the cigarette pack 10, and can better protect the bottom 12, the top 11 and the side 13 of the cigarette pack 10.

[0063] In the embodiments of this application, the first side 123, the second side 124 and the third side 110a are all constructed as planar structures. The outer contour of the planar structure can be square, elliptical or other shapes. The outer contour of the planar structure is not limited here.

[0064] Please refer to Figures 8 to 9 The seat 110 includes a first part 111 and a second part 112 connected together. The second part 112 is located on one side of the first part 111 along the first direction. The second part 112 is provided with a clearance groove 112a along the second direction.

Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the cigarette pack 10 is conveyed in the X direction and folded in the guide groove 121. The folded cigarette pack 10 with the top 11 and bottom 12 is then conveyed along the guide groove 121. Figures 8 to 9 The material is conveyed to the unloading position 103 via the Z-direction through the clearance trough 112a.

[0066] The beneficial effect here is that by setting an anti-airway groove 112a below the guide groove 121, the cigarette pack 10 in the guide groove 121 can be smoothly conveyed to the unloading position 103 through the anti-airway groove 112a, reducing the probability of position deviation of the cigarette pack 10 during the conveying process, ensuring stable product quality while improving production efficiency.

[0067] In the embodiments of this application, the second portion 112 is disposed along the first portion 111. Figures 8 to 9 On one side of the X direction shown, the second part 112 and the first part 111 can be a separate structure, and the second part 112 and the first part 111 can be detachably connected by means of plug-in, snap-fit ​​or other means; the second part 112 and the first part 111 can also be a one-piece structure, and the second part 112 and the first part 111 can be integrally formed by means of injection molding, casting or other means.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, the clearance groove 112a is along... Figures 8 to 9 The groove structure shown is inserted into the second section 112 in the Z direction. The clearance groove 112a can be located in the middle of the second section 112 or in other positions of the second section 112. The shape of the clearance groove 112a can be rectangular, circular or other shapes, as long as the size of the clearance groove 112a is sufficient to allow the cigarette pack 10 to pass through the clearance groove 112a smoothly. Here, the shape of the clearance groove 112a is not limited.

[0069] For details, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 Each guide plate 120 is detachably connected to one side of the first section 111 along the first direction, and each guide plate 120 is located above the second section 112.

[0082] It is understandable that, taking the horizontal conveying of cigarette pack 10 to the left and the vertical conveying to the bottom as an example, the horizontal push plate 210 moves to the left along the first direction, and the horizontal connecting plate 310 moves to the left in sync with the horizontal connecting plate 310. The horizontal push plate 210 and the horizontal connecting plate 310 together push the cigarette pack 10 to the left, conveying the cigarette pack 10 from the feeding position 101 to the guide groove 121 along the first direction. After folding, the horizontal push plate 210 and the horizontal connecting plate 310 move away from the cigarette pack 10. Then, the vertical push plate 320 moves downward along the second direction, and the vertical connecting plate 330 moves downward in sync with the vertical connecting plate 330. The vertical push plate 320 and the vertical connecting plate 330 together push the cigarette pack 10 downward, conveying the cigarette pack 10 with the top 11 and bottom 12 folded from the guide groove 121 to the mold box 340 at the unloading position 103 along the second direction.

[0083] The beneficial effects here are as follows: during the process of the cigarette pack 10 being conveyed from the feeding position 101 along the first direction to the guide groove 121 for folding, each guide plate 120 works together to fold and protect the top 11 and bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10; during the process of the cigarette pack 10 with the top 11 and bottom 12 folded being conveyed from the guide groove 121 along the second direction to the unloading position 103, the guide groove 121 formed by the seat 110 and each guide plate 120 protects the side 13, top 11, and bottom 12 of the cigarette pack 10 to prevent the folded corners from springing open during the conveying process and causing poor folding. The cigarette protection device 100 can realize the folding and protection of the top 11, bottom 12, and side 13 of the medium and thin cigarette pack 10.

[0084] In the embodiments of this application, both the horizontal connecting plate 310 and the horizontal push plate 210 are driven by a driving mechanism to enable them to move along a first direction. The driving mechanism can be a motor, cylinder, or other driving component. The horizontal connecting plate 310 may include two connected first connecting portions and a second connecting portion. The second connecting portion is used to abut against the cigarette pack 10. One end of the first connecting portion is connected to the second connecting portion, and the other end of the first connecting portion is connected to the driving mechanism. The structure of the horizontal push plate 210 can also adopt the structure of the horizontal connecting plate 310 described above, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0085] In the embodiments of this application, both the vertical straight plate 330 and the vertical push plate 320 are driven by a driving mechanism to enable them to move along the second direction. The driving mechanism can be a motor, cylinder, or other driving component. The vertical straight plate 330 may include two connected third connecting portions and a fourth connecting portion. The fourth connecting portion is used to abut against the cigarette pack 10. One end of the third connecting portion is connected to the fourth connecting portion, and the other end of the third connecting portion is connected to the driving mechanism. The structure of the vertical push plate 320 can also adopt the structure of the vertical straight plate 330 described above, and will not be elaborated further here.
