Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette box production technology, and in particular to a cigarette pack conveying and turning device. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco pack conveyor steering devices are commonly used in the tobacco processing and packaging industry. Their primary purpose is to redirect or adjust the conveyor path of tobacco packs on the production line as needed. This device automates the transfer of tobacco packs from one conveyor belt to another, allowing them to enter different processing areas.

[0003] In existing cigarette pack conveying and turning devices, cigarette packs may shift due to inertia during the transfer process, causing jams or accumulation during the transfer, resulting in unstable equipment operation, extended production time, and reduced overall efficiency. Shifted cigarette packs may also collide with other components or slide on the conveyor belt, causing scratches, deformation, or damage to the packaging surface, affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cigarette pack conveying and steering device, which effectively prevents the cigarette pack from shifting due to inertia during the conveying process, making the transfer process more stable and precise.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cigarette pack conveying and turning device, including a feeding mechanism and a discharging mechanism. The discharging mechanism is higher than the feeding mechanism. A lifting mechanism is provided between the feeding mechanism and the discharging mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting bracket, a lifting motor and a transfer platform are provided on the lifting bracket. The lifting motor drives the transfer platform to lift. A rotary cylinder is provided on the transfer platform. A turning mechanism is connected to the rotary cylinder. The turning mechanism includes a transfer conveyor belt. A transfer motor is provided on one side of the transfer conveyor belt to drive its operation. The transfer conveyor belt conveys cigarette packs to the discharging mechanism. Support plates are provided on both sides of the transfer conveyor belt. A pressing mechanism and a clamping mechanism are provided on the support plates. The pressing mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to rise and fall. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping bracket, a clamping cylinder is provided on the clamping bracket, a clamping slider is slidably arranged on the clamping bracket, a clamping claw is fixed on the clamping slider, a movable block is connected to the clamping cylinder, and the clamping slider is slidably connected to the movable block. The clamping cylinder drives the clamping claw to fix the position of the cigarette pack.

[0006] The clamping slider is provided with a first inclined surface, and the movable block is provided with a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface abuts against the second inclined surface, and the first inclined surface can slide along the second inclined surface.

[0007] The first inclined surface is provided with a first guide block, and the movable block is provided with a first guide groove, and the first guide block is slidably connected in the first guide groove.

[0008] The clamping slider is also provided with a second guide block, and the clamping bracket is provided with a second guide groove, and the second guide block is slidably connected in the second guide groove.

[0009] The gripper is equipped with a silicone plate.

[0010] The clamping slider, gripper and silicone plate are provided in two sets, and a limiting block is provided between the clamping sliders to restrict the sliding of the clamping slider.

[0011] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting bracket, a lifting motor at the top of the lifting bracket, a lifting screw inside the lifting bracket, the lifting screw being connected to the lifting motor, a lifting slider being threaded onto the lifting screw, and the transfer platform being connected to the lifting slider.

[0012] A pressure plate is connected to the clamping bracket, and the clamping mechanism drives the pressure plate to rise and fall.

[0013] The clamping mechanism includes a fixed block fixed to a support plate, a movable rod passing through the fixed block, a clamping bracket connected to the movable rod, a clamping motor located below the fixed block, a clamping screw connected to the clamping motor, and the clamping screw being threadedly connected to the movable rod.

[0015] In use, the cigarette packs are first fed to the transfer conveyor belt by the feeding mechanism. The transfer platform is located on the lifting mechanism, which drives the lifting screw to rotate via a lifting motor, causing the lifting slider and transfer platform to rise, raising the cigarette packs from a lower position to the unloading height. Simultaneously, the rotary cylinder of the steering mechanism adjusts the angle of the transfer conveyor belt, and the transfer motor drives the conveyor belt to rotate, changing the direction of the cigarette packs and conveying them forward. During conveying, the clamping motor of the clamping mechanism adjusts the height of the clamping mechanism and the pressure plate via the clamping screw, causing the pressure plate to press firmly onto the cigarette packs. The clamping cylinder of the clamping mechanism pushes the movable block upward, causing the clamping slider to tighten inward, thus clamping the cigarette packs with the grippers. The silicone plate on the grippers increases friction, ensuring stable clamping. When the packs reach the appropriate position, the pressure plate and clamping mechanism reset, and the transfer conveyor belt delivers the cigarette packs to the unloading mechanism's conveyor belt, where the unloading motor drives them to the next process.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention effectively prevents the cigarette packs from shifting due to inertia during the transfer process by working in concert with the clamping and pressing mechanisms, making the transfer process more stable and precise.

[0018] This invention, with its inclined surface and guide block groove structure, ensures precise opening and closing of the grippers and moderate clamping force, reducing damage to the cigarette pack.

[0019] This invention can adapt to cigarette packs of different sizes by adjusting the position of the limiting block, thus meeting diverse production needs. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] according to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a cigarette pack conveying and turning device, including a feeding mechanism 1, a discharging mechanism 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a turning mechanism 7. The feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding conveyor belt 36, which is driven by a feeding motor 37 on one side. The discharging mechanism 2 is located at a high position of the device and is used to receive the processed cigarette packs and output them. Its structure includes a discharging conveyor belt 38, which is also driven by a discharging motor 39 on one side, to ensure that the cigarette packs can be smoothly output after turning and lifting.

[0030] A lifting mechanism 3 is provided between the feeding mechanism 1 and the unloading mechanism 2 to lift the cigarette packs from the lower feeding mechanism 1 to the higher unloading mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting bracket 4, with a lifting motor 5 mounted at its top. A lifting screw 29 is located inside the lifting bracket 4, connected to and driven by the lifting motor 5. A lifting slider 30 is threaded onto the lifting screw 29, and a transfer platform 6 is fixed to the lifting slider 30. As the lifting screw 29 rotates, the lifting slider 30 drives the transfer platform 6 to rise and fall vertically, thus achieving smooth lifting of the cigarette packs. A steering mechanism 7 is provided on the transfer platform 6 to adjust the conveying direction of the cigarette packs to meet the receiving requirements of the unloading mechanism 2.

[0031] A steering mechanism 7 is connected to the rotary cylinder 8. The steering mechanism 7 includes a transfer conveyor belt 9, which is driven by a transfer motor 10 on one side to accurately transport the cigarette packs to the unloading mechanism 2. Support plates 11 are provided on both sides of the transfer conveyor belt 9. A pressing mechanism 12 and a clamping mechanism 13 are installed on the support plates 11 to ensure the stability of the cigarette packs during turning and conveying. The pressing mechanism 12 adjusts the position of the clamping mechanism 13 by driving the pressure plate 31 to rise and fall. It includes a fixed block 32 fixed on the support plate 11, with a movable rod 33 passing through the fixed block 32. A clamping bracket 14 is connected to the movable rod 33. A pressing motor 34 is provided below the fixed block 32. The pressing motor 34 is threadedly connected to the movable rod 33 through a pressing screw 35, driving the movable rod 33 to rise and fall, thereby driving the clamping bracket 14 and the pressure plate 31 to adjust their height.

[0032] The clamping mechanism 13 is used to fix the position of the cigarette pack and prevent it from shifting during turning or conveying. The clamping mechanism 13 includes a clamping bracket 14, on which a clamping cylinder 15 is mounted and a clamping slider 16 is slidably disposed. A gripper 17 is fixed on the clamping slider 16, and a silicone plate 25 is attached to the gripper 17. The silicone plate 25 increases the friction between the gripper 17 and the cigarette pack, preventing damage to the surface of the cigarette pack during clamping. A movable block 18 is connected to the clamping cylinder 15, and the clamping slider 16 is slidably connected to the movable block 18. The clamping cylinder 15 controls the opening and closing of the gripper 17 by driving the movable block 18, thereby achieving the clamping and releasing of the cigarette pack.

[0033] The clamping slider 16 has a first inclined surface 19, and the movable block 18 has a second inclined surface 20. The first inclined surface 19 abuts against the second inclined surface 20 and can slide along the second inclined surface 20, thereby converting the movement of the movable block 18 into the sliding of the clamping slider 16. Furthermore, the clamping slider 16 has a first guide block 21, and the movable block 18 has a first guide groove 22. The first guide block 21 is slidably connected within the first guide groove 22, restricting the sliding direction of the clamping slider 16 and improving movement accuracy. The clamping slider 16 also has a second guide block 23, and the clamping bracket 14 has a second guide groove 24. The second guide block 23 is slidably connected within the second guide groove 24, further enhancing the sliding stability of the clamping slider 16.

[0034] In the clamping mechanism 13, two sets of clamping sliders 16, grippers 17, and silicone plates 25 are provided to achieve double-sided clamping. A limiting block 26 is provided between the two sets of clamping sliders 16. The limiting block 26 is used to limit the sliding range of the clamping sliders 16 to prevent excessive or insufficient clamping action, thereby ensuring appropriate clamping force and stability of the cigarette pack position.

[0035] In use, the cigarette packs are first fed to the transfer conveyor belt 9 by the feeding conveyor belt 36 of the feeding mechanism 1. The transfer platform 6 is located on the lifting mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 3 drives the lifting screw 29 to rotate through the lifting motor 5, which in turn drives the lifting slider 30 and the transfer platform 6 to rise, raising the cigarette packs from a lower position to the unloading height. At the same time, the rotary cylinder 8 of the steering mechanism 7 adjusts the angle of the transfer conveyor belt 9, and the transfer motor 10 drives the conveyor belt to rotate, causing the cigarette packs to change direction and be conveyed forward. During the conveying process, the clamping motor 34 of the clamping mechanism 12 adjusts the height of the clamping mechanism 13 and the pressure plate 31 through the clamping screw 35, so that the pressure plate 31 presses against the cigarette packs. The clamping cylinder 15 of the clamping mechanism 13 pushes the movable block 18 to move upward, causing the clamping slider 16 to tighten inward, so that the gripper 17 clamps the cigarette packs. The silicone plate 25 on the gripper 17 increases the friction and ensures stable clamping. When the cigarette pack is transferred to the appropriate position, the pressure plate 31 and the clamping mechanism 13 are reset, and the transfer conveyor belt 9 sends the cigarette pack to the conveyor belt of the unloading mechanism 2, which is then driven by the unloading motor 39 to output to the next process.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0037] This invention effectively prevents the cigarette packs from shifting due to inertia during the transfer process by working in concert with the clamping and pressing mechanisms, making the transfer process more stable and precise.

[0038] This invention, with its inclined surface and guide block groove structure, ensures precise opening and closing of the grippers and moderate clamping force, reducing damage to the cigarette pack.

[0039] This invention can adapt to cigarette packs of different sizes by adjusting the position of the limiting block, thus meeting diverse production needs.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
