[0002] In cigarette production, stacking and palletizing cartons of cigarettes is a crucial step in the packaging process. Traditional manual palletizing methods are labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to errors, making them unsuitable for modern production needs. With the continuous development of automation technology, automated cigarette palletizing equipment has gradually replaced manual labor and become the mainstream choice.

[0003] The existing cigarette stacking and palletizing devices are prone to slippage and tipping during the grabbing and stacking process, which affects the palletizing quality and poses certain safety hazards, and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette stacking and palletizing device to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

The lifting mechanism includes a drive assembly for meshing transmission and a moving assembly for vertical movement. The moving assembly includes a slide rod disposed on the upper surface of the lower housing. A U-shaped plate, threadedly engaged with the drive assembly, is mounted on the slide rod. A top plate is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the U-shaped plate. Multiple sliding slots are provided on the top plate. Below the top plate is a gathering mechanism for preventing cigarettes that tilt during stacking from slipping. The gathering mechanism includes a sliding assembly and a scaling assembly. Below the gathering mechanism is a vertical moving mechanism for vertical movement of the gathering mechanism. The vertical moving mechanism includes a screw assembly and a connecting rod assembly.

[0007] Further configuration: The drive assembly includes inverted L-shaped fixed seats installed on both sides inside the lower housing. A first motor is fixedly installed on the side end face of the lower housing. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. The connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on the fixed seats. A first helical bevel gear is fixedly installed on the connecting shaft at both fixed seats. A screw is rotatably mounted on both fixed seats. A second helical bevel gear that meshes with the first helical bevel gear is fixedly installed at the lower end of the screw.

[0008] Further configuration: The screw assembly includes a base plate located at the upper end of the lower housing, a first slide rail on the base plate, a fixing block and a mounting base fixedly installed on the base plate, a second motor fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block, a second screw rotatably installed between the fixing block and the mounting base, the output end of the second motor being fixedly connected to the second screw, a moving block threadedly installed on the second screw, and the moving block slidingly engaging with the first slide rail.

[0009] Further configuration: The linkage assembly includes multiple fixing plates fixedly mounted on the base plate. A first linkage is rotatably mounted on the fixing plates, and a second linkage is rotatably mounted on the front and rear sides of the moving block. The first and second linkages are arranged crosswise, and connecting plates are rotatably mounted on the ends of the first and second linkages.

[0010] Further configuration: The sliding assembly includes a second slide rail and a third slide rail fixedly mounted on the connecting plate. A first sliding member is symmetrically arranged on the third slide rail and slides with the third slide rail. A telescopic cylinder is fixedly mounted on the rear end face of the connecting plate. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the first sliding member. A second sliding member is symmetrically arranged on the second slide rail and slides with the second slide rail.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a cigarette stacking device includes a lower housing 1. A lifting mechanism for adjusting the height is provided on the lower housing 1. The lifting mechanism includes a drive component for meshing transmission and a moving component for vertical movement. The moving component includes a slide rod 18 disposed on the upper end face of the lower housing 1. A U-shaped plate 19 that is threadedly engaged with the drive component is installed on the slide rod 18. A top plate 101 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the U-shaped plate 19. Multiple sliding slots 102 are provided on the top plate 101. A gathering mechanism is provided below the top plate 101 to gather cigarettes that tilt during stacking and prevent them from slipping. The gathering mechanism includes a sliding component and a scaling component. A vertical moving mechanism for moving the gathering mechanism up and down is provided below the gathering mechanism. The vertical moving mechanism includes a screw component and a connecting rod component.

[0026] In this embodiment: the drive assembly includes fixed seats 12 that are installed on both sides inside the lower housing 1 and are in the shape of an inverted L. A first motor 13 is fixedly installed on the side end face of the lower housing 1. A connecting shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 13. The connecting shaft 14 is rotatably installed on the fixed seat 12. A first helical bevel gear 15 is fixedly installed on the connecting shaft 14 and at the positions of the two fixed seats 12. A screw 17 is rotatably installed on the two fixed seats 12. A second helical bevel gear 16 that meshes with the first helical bevel gear 15 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the screw 17.

[0027] In this embodiment: the screw assembly includes a base plate 2 disposed on the upper end of the lower housing 1, a first slide rail 201 provided on the base plate 2, a fixing block 21 and a mounting base 23 fixedly mounted on the base plate 2, a second motor 22 fixedly mounted on one side of the fixing block 21, a second screw 24 rotatably mounted between the fixing block 21 and the mounting base 23, the output end of the second motor 22 being fixedly connected to the second screw 24, a moving block 27 threadedly mounted on the second screw 24, the moving block 27 slidingly engaging with the first slide rail 201, and the connecting rod assembly includes multiple fixing plates 25 fixedly mounted on the base plate 2. A first connecting rod 26 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 25, and a second connecting rod 28 is rotatably mounted on the front and rear sides of the moving block 27. The first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 28 are arranged in a cross configuration, and a connecting plate 3 is rotatably mounted at the ends of the first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 28. When the cigarette packs are stacked to a certain height on the top plate 101, the second motor 22 is started. The rotation of the second motor 22 drives the second screw 24 to rotate, thereby moving the moving block 27. This reduces the cross angle between the first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 28, and the movement of the first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 28 causes the connecting plate 3 to rise.

[0028] In this embodiment: the sliding assembly includes a second slide rail 31 and a third slide rail 32 fixedly mounted on the connecting plate 3. A first sliding member 33 is symmetrically arranged on the third slide rail 32 and slides in cooperation with it. A telescopic cylinder 301 is fixedly mounted on the rear end face of the connecting plate 3. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the first sliding member 33. A second sliding member 34 is symmetrically arranged on the second slide rail 31 and slides in cooperation with it. A connecting rod 39 rotatably connects the first sliding member 33 and the second sliding member 34. The scaling assembly includes a second mounting plate 37 fixedly mounted on the first sliding member 33. The second mounting plate 37... Multiple second gathering components 38 are fixedly installed on the end face. A first mounting plate 35 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the second sliding component 34. Multiple first gathering components 36 are fixedly installed on the first mounting plate 35. The first gathering components 36 and the second gathering components 38 slide in cooperation with the slide groove 102. The first gathering components 36 and the second gathering components 38 pass through the slide groove 102 to surround the stacked materials. The telescopic cylinder 301 extends to push the first sliding component 33 to move. The movement of the first sliding component 33 drives the movement of the second sliding component 34 through the connecting rod 39, thereby causing the first gathering components 36 and the second gathering components 38 to slide in the slide groove 102 to gather the stacked materials.

[0029] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using the device, the first motor 13 is started, which drives the connecting shaft 14 to rotate, thereby causing the first helical bevel gear 15 to drive the second helical bevel gear 16 to rotate. The rotation of the second helical bevel gear 16 drives the screw 17 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw 17 causes the U-shaped plate 19 to rise to the height required for stacking. After the cigarette packs are stacked to a certain height on the top plate 101, the second motor 22 is started, which drives the second screw 24 to rotate, thereby causing the moving block 27 to move, thus causing the connection between the first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 28 to be activated. As the fork angle decreases, the first connecting rod 26 and the second connecting rod 28 move, causing the connecting plate 3 to rise. This allows the first gathering member 36 and the second gathering member 38 to pass through the chute opening 102 and surround the stacked material. The telescopic cylinder 301 extends and pushes the first sliding member 33 to move. The movement of the first sliding member 33 drives the second sliding member 34 to move through the connecting rod 39. This causes the first gathering member 36 and the second gathering member 38 to slide within the chute opening 102 to gather the stacked material, making the material stacking operation more stable and safe. This solves the problem of slippage and tipping that easily occur during the grabbing and stacking of cigarette packs.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
