[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of this utility model and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes. However, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0026] See Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment discloses a strip pack ironing device with a draining function, including a strip pack conveying channel 2 set on a frame 1. The strip pack conveying channel 2 conveys strip packs from back to front. The strip pack conveying channel 2 is equipped with a strip pack ironing mechanism and a strip pack draining mechanism.
[0027] The strip ironing mechanism includes a first strip ironing component 4, a second strip ironing component 5, and a lifting mechanism 6.
[0028] The first strip ironing assembly 4 includes a first upper heating plate 7 and a first lower heating plate 8 arranged opposite each other. The gap between the first upper heating plate 7 and the first lower heating plate 8 forms a first heating gap. The first lower heating plate 8 is a fixed plate fixedly installed with the frame 1. The first upper heating plate 7 is a movable plate, which is driven to rise and fall vertically by a first driving mechanism. The first upper heating plate 7 is suspended below a crossbeam 9. The crossbeam 9 spans across the strip ironing conveyor channel 2 and its left and right ends are fixed to the frame 1. The first driving mechanism is a first driving cylinder 10 installed at the bottom of the crossbeam 9. The piston rod of the first driving cylinder 10 extends vertically downward and is fixed with a connecting plate 11. The connecting plate 11 and the first upper heating plate 7 are arranged vertically at intervals. The first upper heating plate 7 is suspended and hung below the connecting plate 11 by multiple guide bolts 12. Springs are fitted on the guide bolts 12, and the upper and lower ends of the springs elastically press against the connecting plate 11 and the first upper heating plate 7, respectively. The bottom of the guide bolt 12 is fixed to the first upper heating plate 7. The shank of the guide bolt 12 passes through the hole of the connecting plate 11 and is threaded with a nut. The guide bolt 12 can slide vertically in the hole of the connecting plate 11. When the first upper heating plate 7 moves downward to iron the strip, if the pressure is too high, it will be released by compressing the spring outside the guide bolt 12 to avoid the first upper heating plate 7 applying too much pressure to the strip and causing damage to the strip.
[0029] The second strip ironing assembly 5 is located above the end of the strip conveying channel 2. The second strip ironing assembly 5 includes two second heating plates arranged opposite each other, with a gap between the two second heating plates forming a second heating gap. One of the second heating plates is a fixed second heating plate 14 fixedly installed on the frame 1, and the other is a movable second heating plate 15, which is driven to move back and forth by a second driving mechanism. The fixed second heating plate 14 and the movable second heating plate 15 are arranged opposite each other. The fixed second heating plate 14 is fixedly installed on the front baffle 16, and the movable second heating plate 15 is movably installed in the clearance groove of the rear baffle 17. The front baffle 16 and the rear baffle 17 are opposite each other and fixed on the frame 1. The second driving mechanism is a second driving cylinder 18 fixed on the rear baffle 17. The piston rod of the second driving cylinder 18 extends forward and is fixed to a support plate 19. The movable second heating plate 15 is fixedly installed on the front side of the support plate 19. The rear baffle 17 has a clearance groove for the movable second heating plate 15 to extend and retract back and forth.
[0030] The lifting mechanism 6 includes two sets of lifting components arranged on the left and right sides of the second heating gap. Each set of lifting components includes a lifting bracket 20 fixed on the frame 1 and a lifting toothed belt 21 mounted on the lifting bracket 20. The lifting toothed belt 21 is arranged vertically, and multiple lifting protrusions 22 are spaced apart on its surface. The channel between the two sets of lifting toothed belts 21 on the left and right sides forms a vertical lifting channel 23. The second heating gap is located in the middle section of the vertical direction of the lifting channel 23. The lifting protrusions 22 on the surfaces of the two lifting toothed belts 21 support the left and right ends of the bottom of the pack. The lifting channel 23 is used to receive the packs conveyed from the pack conveying channel 2 and lift and convey them upward. A pusher plate 24 is provided on the rear side above the lifting channel 23. The pusher plate 24 is driven to move back and forth by the pusher cylinder 25, thereby pushing the packs conveyed upward by the lifting channel 23 forward and pushing the packs away from the lifting channel 23 to enter the next process. The lifting mechanism 6 also includes a lifting motor 26, which drives the lifting toothed belts 21 of the left and right lifting components to run synchronously through the lifting motor 26 and the lifting transmission mechanism. The lifting transmission mechanism can be a synchronous belt transmission mechanism 27.
[0031] The pack emptying mechanism includes two sets of cigarette clamping components 3 positioned on the left and right sides of the pack conveying channel 2. These components are located in front of the first pack ironing component 4. The cigarette clamping components 3 clamp the packs in the conveying channel 2. Each component includes a cigarette clamping bracket 28, a cigarette clamping cylinder 29, and a cigarette clamping plate 30. The cigarette clamping cylinder 29 is installed inside the cigarette clamping bracket 28, and its piston rod extends inward in the left-right direction and connects to the cigarette clamping plate 30. The gap between the cigarette clamping plates 30 of the two sets of components forms the cigarette clamping gap. The two sets of cigarette clamping components 3 are respectively mounted on their respective cigarette clamping brackets 28. The two cigarette clamping brackets 28 are connected by a sliding support 31. The emptying drive mechanism drives the sliding support 31 to slide back and forth, thereby moving the two sets of cigarette clamping components 3 back and forth, and consequently, moving the clamped packs back and forth together. The emptying drive mechanism uses an emptying electric cylinder 32.
[0032] The ironing device for the strip package also includes a detection mechanism, which comprises a first detection switch and a second detection switch. Smoke guide plates 33 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the strip package conveying channel 2 on the frame 1. A first detection switch is installed on the smoke guide plate 33 at a position corresponding to the first heating gap, used to detect whether a strip package is present in the first heating gap. An installation groove 13 is formed on the front baffle 16 below the second fixed heating plate 14. A second detection switch is installed at the installation groove 13, used to detect whether a strip package has arrived in the lifting channel 23. The first and second detection switches can be photoelectric switches.
[0033] When the equipment is working normally, the first drive cylinder 10 of the first strip ironing assembly 4 is activated, driving the connecting plate 11 and the first upper heating plate 7 to move up and down. When moving downward, the strips conveyed on the strip conveying channel 2 are ironed and shaped on the upper and lower sides in sequence. The ironed strips continue to be conveyed forward. When the strip reaches the lifting channel 23, the second detection switch detects that a strip has arrived in the lifting channel 23. At this time, the lifting motor 26 of the lifting mechanism 6 starts, driving the left and right sets of lifting toothed belts 21 to run synchronously, lifting the strip one station upward. At this time, the strip reaches the second heating gap, and the second drive cylinder 18 of the second strip ironing assembly 5 is activated, driving the second movable heating plate 15 to move forward, ironing and shaping the front and rear sides of the strip, achieving the shaping effect of the transparent paper wrapped around the strip. After two stages of ironing and shaping, the cigarette pack is lifted upwards by the lifting mechanism 6. The cigarette pushing cylinder 25 drives the cigarette pushing plate 24 to move forward, pushing the cigarette pack at the top of the lifting channel 23 forward. The cigarette pack slides down the inclined slide and enters the next process.
[0034] When the equipment stops, if the first detection switch detects a strip package in the first heating gap, the strip package emptying mechanism is activated. The clamping cylinders 29 of both sets of clamping components 3 operate simultaneously, causing the two clamping plates 30 to move closer together and clamp the left and right sides of the strip package in the first heating gap. Then, the emptying cylinder 32 moves the two sets of clamping components 3 forward, thereby moving the clamped strip package forward until it reaches the lifting channel 23. The second detection switch detects a strip package in the lifting channel 23, and the lifting mechanism 6 is activated, lifting the strip package upwards and discharging it through the lifting channel 23. Following this process, the strip packages in the first heating gap are emptied sequentially, preventing damage caused by continuous high-temperature heating and ensuring product quality.
[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
