Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation technology, specifically to a cigarette pack adding device with automatic feeding function. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of cigarette packs, individual cigarette packs are usually packaged first. Then, several individually packaged cigarette packs are neatly arranged by hand and transported to the next process via conveyor belt for packaging as a whole pack. During the arrangement process, not only do people need to judge the number of cigarette packs in each row, but they also need to adjust and unify the direction of each cigarette pack, which leads to a significant reduction in production efficiency and a significant increase in the labor intensity of employees. Therefore, someone invented a cigarette pack adding device.

[0003] For example, a flip-type cigarette pack adding device disclosed in CN 216734961U includes a flip-type feeding assembly and a conveying assembly, with a guide channel between the flip-type feeding assembly and the conveying assembly; the flip-type feeding assembly includes a worktable, a mounting base on the worktable, and a flip-type device hinged to the mounting base, with a receiving plate and a first driving device mounted on the flip-type device; when the flip-type device is in a vertical state, the first driving device drives the receiving plate to receive the cigarette pack below the flip-type device; the worktable is provided with a second driving device, a feeding channel, and a translation channel, with a pushing component in the feeding channel, and the second driving device drives the pushing component to push the cigarette pack from the feeding channel to the translation channel; the worktable is also provided with a pushing device, which pushes the cigarette pack in the translation channel into the guide channel.

[0004] However, the existing cigarette pack adding device requires manual placement of the cigarette packs on the turning plate. Although this improves efficiency compared to manual processing, the production efficiency still cannot meet the expected results. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a cigarette pack adding device with automatic feeding function.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0007] A cigarette packing device with automatic feeding function includes a feeding component and a flipping feeding component;

[0008] The feeding assembly includes a material frame for placing cigarette packs and a lifting plate for supporting the cigarette packs. The lifting plate is movably disposed within the material frame, and the material frame is provided with a feeding unit for pushing the cigarette packs.

[0009] The flipping feeding assembly includes a machine base, a feeding seat set on the machine base, a receiving plate hinged to the feeding seat, and a driving unit for driving the receiving plate to rotate. The receiving plate and the feeding seat form a bagging cavity. When the receiving plate is horizontally set, the lifting plate and the feeding plate are set opposite to each other.

[0010] The lower part of the bagging cavity forms a feeding channel, and the feeding seat is movably provided with a receiving plate and a first pushing unit for driving the receiving plate to move. When the receiving plate is in a vertical state, the first pushing unit drives the receiving plate to be placed in the feeding seat to isolate the bagging cavity and the feeding channel.

[0011] The machine platform also forms a packing channel adjacent to the feeding channel. The machine platform is equipped with a second pushing unit, which drives the cigarette packs to move from the feeding channel to the packing channel.

[0012] Preferably, the packing cavity is equipped with a residual material sensor. When the residual material sensor is staggered with the cigarette packs, the drive unit drives the receiving plate to rotate to a horizontal state. Through the above improvement, during the packing process, the second pushing unit pushes the lowest layer of cigarette packs in the feeding seat into the packing channel. When the residual material sensor is staggered with the cigarette packs, it indicates that there are no cigarette packs in the packing cavity. Then, the drive unit drives the receiving plate to rotate to a horizontal state to automatically add cigarette packs. Compared with manual feeding, this greatly improves production efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of employees.

[0013] Preferably, a control switch is provided on the material frame. When the receiving plate is set horizontally, the control switch abuts against the bottom of the receiving plate so that the feeding unit pushes the cigarette packs onto the receiving plate. With the above improvement, the control switch will only send a pushing signal when the receiving plate is set horizontally, so that the feeding unit pushes the cigarette packs on the lifting plate onto the receiving plate, thereby achieving the reliability of automatic feeding.

[0014] Preferably, the receiving plate has material-blocking edges on both sides, and the ends of the material-blocking edges have guide arc surfaces. Through the above improvements, the stability of the cigarette pack feeding and transfer process is improved by using the material-blocking plates and guide arc surfaces in combination.

[0015] Preferably, a limiting cover is provided at the top of the material frame, and the limiting cover and the lifting plate form a pushing channel. Through the above improvements, the uniformity of the cigarette packs on the lifting plate can be improved by using the limiting cover, so as to ensure the quality of feeding.

[0016] Preferably, one side of the limiting cover is hinged to the material frame, and the other side has a first mounting hole. The material frame has a second mounting hole that is opposite to the second mounting hole. Fixing posts are inserted into the first and second mounting holes to fix the limiting cover to the material frame. Through the above improvements, the limiting cover can be quickly installed and removed to improve the convenience of workers adding materials to the silo.

[0017] Preferably, a lifting unit is provided at the bottom of the lifting plate, and a drive screw is connected to the output end of the lifting unit. A lifting seat is provided on the drive screw, and the lifting seat is connected to the lifting plate. Through the above improvements, the lifting unit drives the drive screw to rotate, so that the lifting seat can drive the lifting plate to move up and down, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the cigarette pack lifting.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting cover is equipped with a positioning sensor. Through the above improvements, the material is pushed only when the cigarette pack is in the correct position, so as to ensure the accuracy and smoothness of feeding and avoid material jamming.

[0019] Preferably, the machine is provided with a discharge drive module, which includes a discharge unit and a packing plate disposed on the discharge unit. The packing plate slides along the packing channel. Through the above improvements, the packing plate is used to push out the entire row of cigarette packs to realize automatic packing of cigarette packs.

[0020] Preferably, a cigarette pack quantity detection sensor is provided above the discharge end of the packing channel. Through the above improvements, the quantity of cigarette packs in the packing channel can be detected, avoiding the phenomenon of missing or insufficient packs.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0022] The cigarette packs are added using a flip-feed assembly, and a feeding assembly supplies material to the flip-feed assembly. The feeding assembly includes a material frame for placing the cigarette packs and a lifting plate for supporting the cigarette packs. The lifting plate is raised and lowered within the material frame and has a feeding unit for pushing the cigarette packs. The flip-feed assembly includes a machine base, a feeding seat on the machine base, a receiving plate hinged to the feeding seat, and a drive unit for rotating the receiving plate. A packing cavity is formed between the receiving plate and the feeding seat, and a discharge channel is formed below the packing cavity. A receiving plate and a first pushing unit for driving the receiving plate are movably mounted on the feeding seat. A packing channel adjacent to the discharge channel is also formed on the machine base, and a second pushing unit is provided on the machine base. In this unit, during the entire packing process, the lifting plate raises the cigarette pack, and the drive unit drives the receiving plate to rotate, making the receiving plate horizontal and opposite to the lifting plate. The feeding unit pushes the cigarette pack to the receiving plate for automatic feeding. Then, the drive unit drives the receiving plate to rotate, making the receiving plate vertical. The receiving plate supports the bottom of the cigarette pack. When the receiving plate detaches from the feeding seat, the bottommost cigarette pack is placed from the packing cavity into the unloading channel and enters the packing channel through the second pushing unit, realizing automatic packing. Compared with the existing automatic packing structure, there is no need for manual feeding of the receiving plate. By utilizing the large capacity of the material frame, the number of cigarette pack transfers is reduced, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of employees.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc., appear in this document to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the elements from each other for ease of understanding, and are not used to define any directional or sequential restrictions.

[0035] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a cigarette pack adding device with automatic feeding function includes a feeding component 1 and a flipping feeding component 2;

[0036] Specifically, the feeding assembly 1 includes a material frame 1.1 for placing cigarette packs and a lifting plate 1.2 for supporting the cigarette packs. The lifting plate 1.2 is raised and lowered within the material frame 1.1, and the material frame 1.1 is equipped with a feeding unit 1.3 for pushing the cigarette packs. The output end of the feeding unit 1.3 is connected to a pusher plate 6.5. The cigarette packs are neatly stacked in the material frame 1.1, and the lifting plate 1.2 drives the cigarette packs to rise, pushing one layer of cigarette packs out of the material frame. The feeding unit 1.3 then transfers the cigarette packs to the flipping feeding assembly 2 to achieve automatic feeding of the cigarette packs.

[0037] Furthermore, the flipping feeding assembly 2 includes a machine base 2.1, a feeding seat 2.2 mounted on the machine base 2.1, a receiving plate 2.3 hinged to the feeding seat 2.2, and a driving unit 2.4 for driving the receiving plate 2.3 to rotate. The receiving plate and the feeding seat 2.2 form a packing cavity 2.5. When the receiving plate 2.3 is horizontally positioned, the lifting plate 1.2 is positioned opposite to the feeding plate to achieve cooperation with the feeding assembly 1.

[0038] Below the packing cavity 2.5, a feeding channel 2.6 is formed. A receiving plate 2.7 and a first pushing unit 2.8 for driving the receiving plate 2.7 are movably arranged on the feeding seat 2.2. When the receiving plate 2.3 is in a vertical state, the first pushing unit 2.8 drives the receiving plate 2.7 to be placed in the feeding seat 2.2 to separate the packing cavity 2.5 and the feeding channel 2.6. When the receiving plate 2.7 is pulled away from the feeding seat 2.2, the bottom pack of cigarettes will enter the feeding channel 2.6 from the packing cavity 2.5.

[0039] The machine 2.1 also forms a packing channel 3.1 adjacent to the feeding channel 2.6. The machine 2.1 is equipped with a second pushing unit 3.2, which drives the cigarette packs from the feeding channel 2.6 to the packing channel 3.1 for automatic packing.

[0040] During the entire packing process, the lifting plate 1.2 raises the cigarette packs, and the drive unit 2.4 drives the receiving plate 2.3 to rotate, making the receiving plate 2.3 horizontal and opposite to the lifting plate 1.2. The feeding unit 1.3 pushes the cigarette packs onto the receiving plate 2.3 for automatic feeding. Then, the drive unit 2.4 drives the receiving plate 2.3 to rotate, making it vertical, allowing the cigarette packs to enter the packing cavity 2.5. At this time, the receiving plate 2.7 supports the bottom of the cigarette packs. When the receiving plate 2.7 detaches from the feeding seat 2.2, the bottommost cigarette pack is placed from the packing cavity 2.5 into the unloading channel 2.6, and enters the packing channel 3.1 through the second pushing unit 3.2, realizing automatic packing. Compared with the existing automatic packing structure, there is no need for manual feeding of the receiving plate 2.3. The large capacity of the material frame 1.1 reduces the number of cigarette pack transfers, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of employees.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, to further explain the implementation of the feeding seat 2.2, a residual material sensor 4.1 is provided on the packing cavity 2.5. When the residual material sensor 4.1 is staggered with the cigarette packs, the drive unit 2.4 drives the receiving plate 2.3 to rotate to a horizontal state. During the packing process, the second pushing unit 3.2 pushes the lowest layer of cigarette packs in the feeding seat 2.2 into the packing channel 3.1. When the residual material sensor 4.1 is staggered with the cigarette packs, it indicates that there are no cigarette packs in the packing cavity 2.5. Then the drive unit 2.4 drives the receiving plate 2.3 to rotate to a horizontal state to automatically add cigarette packs. Compared with manual feeding, this greatly improves production efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of employees.

[0042] Furthermore, a control switch 4.2 is provided on the material frame 1.1. When the receiving plate 2.3 is set horizontally, the control switch 4.2 abuts against the bottom of the receiving plate 2.3 so that the feeding unit 1.3 pushes the cigarette packs onto the receiving plate 2.3. Only when the receiving plate 2.3 is set horizontally will the control switch 4.2 send a pushing signal so that the feeding unit 1.3 pushes the cigarette packs on the lifting plate 1.2 onto the receiving plate 2.3 to achieve the reliability of automatic feeding.

[0043] Preferably, the receiving plate 2.3 has baffles 4.3 on both sides, and the ends of the baffles 4.3 are formed with guide arc surfaces 4.4. The guide arc surfaces 4.4 can improve the smoothness of the cigarette pack entering the receiving plate 2.3, and the baffles can improve the stability of the cigarette pack feeding and transfer process.

[0044] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, further explanation of the feeding component 1: the output end of the feeding unit 1.3 is connected to a drive screw 6.1, and a lifting seat 6.2 is provided on the drive screw 6.1. The lifting seat 6.2 is connected to the lifting plate 1.2. The feeding unit 1.3 drives the drive screw 6.1 to rotate, so that the lifting seat 6.2 can drive the lifting plate 1.2 to move up and down, so as to ensure the accuracy of the cigarette pack lifting.

[0045] Specifically, a limiting cover plate 5.1 is provided at the top of the material frame 1.1. The limiting cover plate 5.1 and the lifting plate 1.2 form a pushing channel 5.2. Through the above improvements, the uniformity of the cigarette packs on the lifting plate 1.2 can be improved by using the limiting cover plate 5.1 to ensure the quality of feeding.

[0046] Furthermore, the limiting cover plate 5.1 is hinged to the material frame 1.1 on one side, and a first mounting hole 5.3 is formed on the other side. A second mounting hole 5.4 is formed on the material frame 1.1, which is opposite to the second mounting hole 5.4. Fixing posts 5.5 are inserted into the first mounting hole 5.3 and the second mounting hole 5.4 to fix the limiting cover plate 5.1 to the material frame 1.1. When it is necessary to add material, the fixing post 5.5 can be removed to open the limiting cover plate 5.1, so as to realize the quick installation and disassembly of the limiting cover plate 5.1, thereby improving the convenience of workers adding material to the hopper.

[0047] Preferably, the limiting cover plate 5.1 is equipped with a positioning sensor 6.3 to ensure that the cigarette pack is lifted into place before pushing the material, so as to ensure the accuracy and smoothness of feeding and avoid material jamming.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a further explanation of the cigarette pack adding implementation scheme is provided on the machine 2.1. The discharging drive module 7.1 includes a discharging unit 7.2 and a packing plate 7.3 disposed on the discharging unit 7.2. The packing plate 7.3 slides along the packing channel 3.1 and pushes out the entire row of cigarette packs to realize automatic packing of cigarette packs.

[0049] Preferably, a cigarette pack quantity detection sensor 7.4 is installed above the discharge end of the packing channel 3.1 to detect the quantity of cigarette packs in the packing channel 3.1 and avoid the occurrence of missing or insufficient packs.

[0050] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
