[0027] Example
[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a shaping device for a hard-pack cigarette pack 20, which includes an L-shaped plate 1, a first movable plate 2, and a second movable plate 3. Figure 1-2 As shown, the L-shaped plate 1 includes a vertical plate 11 and a horizontal plate 12. The first movable plate 2 is connected to one side hinge 4 of the L-shaped plate 1, that is, to the horizontal plate 12 hinge 4. The first movable plate 2 is connected to the second movable plate 3 hinge 4. Further, as... Figure 2-4 As shown, the L-shaped plate 1, the first movable plate 2, and the second movable plate 3 can be enclosed to form a rectangular frame, which can vertically accommodate multiple small cigarette packs 20. Small cigarette packs 20 with openings that have been rejected by the locomotive are glued and placed in the rectangular frame for shaping and fixation.
[0029] Preferably, one side of the L-shaped plate 1, the first movable plate 2, and the second movable plate 3 is provided with a chamfer 10 to facilitate the entry of the small cigarette pack 20. The angle of the chamfer 10 can be set to 30 degrees to 45 degrees.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the L-shaped plate 1 includes a vertical plate 11 and a horizontal plate 12. A buckle 5 is provided at the top of the vertical plate 11, and the second movable plate 3 is correspondingly provided with a locking part 6, which engages with the buckle 5. Figure 2 As can be seen, the buckle 5 can be set as a circular structure, and the engaging part 6 is set as a hinge 4 structure. One part is connected to the second movable plate 3, and the other part is provided with a circular hole that can cooperate with the circular buckle 5. The buckle 5 passes through the circular hole to complete the buckle 5 engagement, and fixes the second movable plate 3 and the vertical plate 11 to form a rectangular frame.
[0031] Continue to refer to Figure 2 Preferably, a metal plate 7 is provided on the inner side of the vertical plate 11. Figure 2 In the design, the vertical plate 11 is cut open to expose the metal plate 7. The metal plate 7 is fixed to the vertical plate 11 by screws 8. Furthermore, the screws 8 pass through the vertical plate 11 and connect to the metal plate 7. A spring 9 is coiled around the screw 8, positioned between the metal plate 7 and the vertical plate 11. This arrangement allows the distance between the metal plate 7 and the L-shaped plate to be compressed when pressed. After releasing the pressure, the metal plate 7 automatically returns to its original position, allowing it to press firmly against the small cigarette pack 20 during use.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, there are four screws 8, which are distributed at the four corners of the vertical plate 11.
[0033] Preferably, the metal plate 7 also has a chamfer 10 at the inlet end of the cigarette pack 20. This facilitates the entry of the cigarette pack 20 into the rectangular frame. The two ends of the metal plate 7 extend beyond the length of the vertical plate 11, allowing for easy pressing of the metal plate 7.
[0034] Preferably, not shown in the figure, a stopwatch is provided on the outer side of the vertical plate 11 for timing. When in use, the shaping device is closed, the buckle 5 is fastened, the opening of the hard-pack open cigarette pack 20 is glued, and then the packs are placed in one by one. After all the cigarette packs 20 are placed, wait about 20 seconds, then open the buckle 5 and take out the cigarette packs 20. Alternatively, when placing single packs, after the previous packs 20 are full, they are pushed out one by one to complete the shaping.
[0035] Preferably, not shown in the figure, it may also include a push rod for pushing the small cigarette pack 20 into the rectangular frame. The length of the rectangular frame can be set according to actual production needs, and is not specifically limited here. The push rod may be designed to include a push plate and a rod body connected to it.
[0036] Furthermore, a platform for placing the shaping device can be provided, which can be recessed. After placement, the surface of the platform is flush with the surfaces of the horizontal plate 12, the first movable plate 2, and the second movable plate 3, facilitating the entry and exit of the small cigarette pack 20. Furthermore, two locking platforms are symmetrically provided on the recessed surface, locking into the gaps of the hinge 4 between the horizontal plate 12 and the first movable plate 2, facilitating the formation of a rectangular frame. When the rectangular frame structure is formed, it can effectively fix the rectangular frame, facilitating the insertion of the push rod and the exit of the small cigarette pack 20.
[0037] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
