Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tobacco production equipment technology, and in particular to a tobacco production lifting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Cigarette factories require multiple processing steps for tobacco leaves during production, necessitating their transfer between various workstations. This includes vertical transfer of the tobacco leaves. Currently, vertical transfer is often achieved using simple lifting platforms. These platforms are driven by hydraulic cylinders or similar devices to move up and down, stacking the tobacco leaves on them for vertical transfer. However, this method has certain drawbacks. As the lifting platform moves, vibrations can cause the stacked tobacco leaves to fall off, resulting in waste. Furthermore, the fallen tobacco leaves require special cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a tobacco production lifting mechanism that can prevent tobacco leaves from falling when they are transferred vertically, thereby effectively solving the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a tobacco production lifting mechanism, including:

[0005] Base;

[0006] A track is provided on one side of the base;

[0007] A support plate, the top of which is a support surface, is vertically movable on the base via the track;

[0008] A driving device is used to drive the support plate to move along the track;

[0009] The bearing surface of the bearing plate is provided with a first baffle and a second baffle that are opposite to each other and are paired together. The first baffle and the second baffle enclose a space for holding the top opening of the tobacco leaves.

[0010] In some possible implementations, one end of the first baffle is connected to one side of the second baffle.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the second baffle and the support plate are detachably connected.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the end of the second baffle that extends beyond the outside of the first baffle is detachably connected to the support plate.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the support plate is provided with a column, and the second baffle and the column are detachably connected.

[0014] In some possible implementations, two clamps are provided on one side of the column, and a space is formed between the two clamps for the end of the second baffle to enter.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the clamping plate is elongated and has a positioning groove along its direction. The second baffle has a positioning protrusion. After the end of the second baffle is fitted between the two clamping plates, the positioning protrusion engages with the positioning groove.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the positioning groove is oriented vertically and extends through the clamping plate along the thickness direction, with an opening at the top.

[0017] In some possible implementations, a slider is also included, which is slidably disposed on the track, and the support plate is disposed on the slider.

[0018] In some possible implementations, the support plate is horizontally positioned, and a connecting arm is provided between the bottom of the support plate and the slider. One end of the connecting arm is connected to the slider, and the other end of the connecting arm is connected to the end of the support plate away from the slider.

[0019] According to the tobacco production lifting mechanism provided in the embodiments of this application, the support plate is vertically movable on the base via a track. The driving device drives the support plate to move vertically to realize the transfer of tobacco leaves in the vertical direction. The first baffle is arranged in pairs and opposite to each other, and the second baffle is arranged in pairs and opposite to each other, so that the first baffle and the second baffle enclose a space with a top opening on the bearing surface of the support plate. This space is used to hold tobacco leaves, which can effectively prevent tobacco leaves from falling during the transfer process, avoid material waste, and eliminate the need for special cleaning later.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a tobacco production lifting mechanism, which is applied to the production activities of a cigarette factory, preferably in the vertical transfer process of tobacco leaves. During the cigarette factory production process, tobacco leaves undergo multiple processing steps, thus requiring the transfer of tobacco leaves between various workstations, including vertical transfer. Currently, vertical transfer of tobacco leaves is achieved through a lifting plate, which is a flat plate structure. The lifting plate is raised and lowered via hydraulic cylinders, transmission chains, or transmission belts, stacking tobacco leaves on it to achieve vertical transfer. However, this transfer method has certain drawbacks. When the lifting plate vibrates during movement, the tobacco leaves stacked on it easily fall off, resulting in waste of tobacco materials. Furthermore, the fallen tobacco leaves require subsequent cleaning, leading to wasted labor. The tobacco production lifting mechanism provided in this application aims to prevent tobacco leaves from falling during vertical transfer, thus avoiding waste of tobacco materials.

[0028] The tobacco production lifting mechanism includes a base 1, a support plate 2, and a drive device 3. A rail 4 is provided on one side of the base 1. The support plate 2 is vertically movable on the base 1 via the rail 4. The support plate 2 has a flat plate structure and is horizontally positioned. The top surface of the support plate 2 is the bearing surface. The rail 4 is vertically positioned on one side of the base 1. A slider 5 can also be provided. The slider 5 is slidably mounted on the rail 4. The support plate 2 is mounted on the slider 5. The slider 5 has a groove penetrating both sides of the slider 5. The groove has an external opening and a small external width. The cross-section of the track 4 is adapted to the cross-section of the chute, so that the slider 5 can slide up and down along the track 4. The driving device 3 can be a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the base 1 through a support frame and other components. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the middle of the bearing plate 2, which makes the bearing plate more stable when driving. Under the drive of the hydraulic cylinder, the bearing plate 2 can be lifted and moved. Preferably, two tracks 4 are provided. The two tracks 4 are vertical and arranged side by side with intervals. Each track 4 is provided with a slider 5. The bearing plate 2 is connected by two sliders 5, which improves the stability of the bearing surface during movement.

[0029] In this embodiment, a pair of opposing first baffles 6 and opposing second baffles 7 are provided on the top bearing surface of the bearing plate 2. The first baffles 6 and the second baffles 7 enclose a space for holding tobacco leaves. The top of this space is open. Both the first baffles 6 and the second baffles 7 are flat structures and are vertically arranged. There are two first baffles 6 and two second baffles 7. The two first baffles 6 and the two second baffles 7 are arranged opposite each other and perpendicular to each other. This encloses a cubic space on the bearing surface of the bearing plate 2. This space is used to hold tobacco leaves. Placing the tobacco leaves in this space for vertical transfer can effectively prevent the tobacco leaves from falling outward, avoiding waste of tobacco materials and eliminating the need for special cleaning later, thus avoiding labor waste.

[0030] Preferably, one end of the first baffle 6 is connected to one side of the second baffle 7, and the end of the first baffle 6 abuts against one side of the second baffle 7. The first baffle 6 and the second baffle 7 can be connected by an adhesive or by welding.

[0031] The second baffle 7 and the support plate 2 are detachably connected. The two first baffles 6 and the two second baffles 7 are enclosed together, and the connection between the second baffle 7 and the support plate 2 is achieved through the second baffle 7, which makes it convenient to place the whole on the support plate 2 and remove the whole from the support plate 2.

[0032] The end of the second baffle 7 extending outward from the first baffle 6 is detachably connected to the support plate 2. The two ends of one first baffle 6 are respectively abutted and connected to one side of the two second baffles 7, and the two ends of the other first baffle 6 are respectively abutted and connected to one side of the two second baffles 7, so that the two ends of the two second baffles 7 partially extend outward from the outermost side of the first baffle 6. The connection with the support plate 2 is achieved through the extended part of the second baffle 7, avoiding interference with the internal space layout enclosed by the first baffle 6 and the second baffle 7.

[0033] In this embodiment, a column 8 is provided on the support plate 2. The second baffle 7 and the column 8 are detachably connected. There are four columns 8. One column 8 is provided at each end of the two second baffles 7. Each end of the second baffle 7 is connected to a column 8, thereby improving the assembly strength of the first baffle 6 and the second baffle 7.

[0034] Preferably, the column 8 is vertically arranged, and two clamping plates 9 are provided on the side of the column 8 facing the second baffle 7. A space is formed between the two clamping plates 9 for the end of the second baffle 7 to enter. The two clamping plates 9 limit the end of the second baffle 7, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the second baffle 7 and the support plate 2. The clamping plates 9 are long strip-shaped structures, and the length direction of the clamping plates 9 is set so that the end of the second baffle 7 can be inserted between the two clamping plates 9 from top to bottom, which is convenient for installation.

[0035] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 9 is long and narrow, and a positioning groove 10 is provided on the clamping plate 9 along its direction. The second baffle 7 is provided with a positioning protrusion 11. After the end of the second baffle 7 is adapted between the two clamping plates 9, the positioning protrusion 11 is engaged in the positioning groove 10, thereby improving the connection strength between the second baffle 7 and the column 8.

[0036] Preferably, the positioning groove 10 is opened along the direction of the clamping plate 9, the direction of the positioning groove 10 is vertical, and the positioning groove 10 penetrates the clamping plate 9 along the thickness direction of the clamping plate 9. The top opening of the positioning groove 10 is provided, so that the clamping plate 9 forms a vertically forked, top-opening structure. The positioning protrusion 11 is also a vertically oriented long strip protrusion structure. A positioning protrusion 11 is provided on each side of the two ends of the second baffle 7. When the end of the second baffle 7 is inserted from top to bottom between the two clamping plates 9, the positioning protrusion 11 also fits into the positioning groove 10, making the engagement more secure.

[0037] Preferably, the bottom of the first baffle 6 and the bottom of the second baffle 7 can contact the bearing surface of the bearing plate 2, or they can have small gaps, as long as there is no leakage of tobacco leaves.

[0038] More preferably, the support plate 2 is horizontally arranged, and a connecting arm 12 is provided between the bottom of the support plate 2 and the slider 5. One end of the connecting arm 12 is connected to the slider 5, and the other end of the connecting arm 12 is connected to the end of the support plate 2 away from the slider 5. One end of the connecting arm 12 and the slider 5 can be welded together or connected by screws, bolts, etc., and the other end of the connecting arm 12 can be welded together or connected by screws, bolts, etc. The connecting arm 12 reinforces the support plate 2, prevents the support plate 2 from deforming downward due to the load, and improves the structural strength of the component.

[0039] Preferably, the base 1 may include a base plate 13 and a side plate 14. Both the base plate 13 and the side plate 14 are flat structures. The base plate 13 is horizontally arranged, and the side plate 14 is vertically arranged. The bottom of the side plate 14 is connected to the top of the base plate 13. Two rails 4 are arranged on one side of the side plate 14. A locking member 15 may also be provided. The side plate 14 is fixedly installed in a preset position by the locking member 15. The locking member 15 may be a screw, which improves the stability of the base 1.
