Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gripping technology, specifically to a rapid transfer mechanism for cigarette products. Background Technology
[0002] In cigarette production, the efficiency of cigarette product transfer directly affects the operational efficiency and stability of the packaging equipment. Currently, the transfer process is achieved through robotic arms, which have complex structures and trajectories, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, the robotic arm typically takes 0.5-1.2 seconds per piece to complete the grab-transfer-release action, supporting a production pace of only 20-40 packs per minute, making it unsuitable for fast-paced production. This imposes limitations on production. Therefore, this invention provides a rapid cigarette product transfer mechanism to overcome these technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid transfer mechanism for cigarette products, so as to reduce the cost of cigarette gripping and transfer and achieve rapid transfer.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A rapid transfer mechanism for cigarette products includes a base and a support. A slider is slidably disposed on the top of the support and slides horizontally along the support. A motor is disposed on the top of the support, and a first connecting rod is connected to the output end of the motor. A second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting rod. The second connecting rod is slidably disposed on the slider and slides vertically along the slider. A gripping mechanism for gripping cigarette products is connected to the bottom end of the second connecting rod.
[0006] Furthermore, the base is made of aluminum profile and is fixedly installed, while the bottom end of the bracket is slidably mounted on the base.
[0007] Furthermore, a guide strip is fixedly installed above the bracket, and sliding grooves are provided on both the front and rear sides of the slider, wherein the rear sliding groove is slidably mounted on the guide strip, and the front sliding groove is slidably mounted on the second connecting rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a motor support plate is fixedly installed above the bracket, and the motor is fixedly installed on the motor support plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the second connecting rod is provided with a plurality of connecting holes spaced apart, and the end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to one of the connecting holes.
[0010] Furthermore, the gripping mechanism is a suction cup.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This invention uses a motor to drive the first and second connecting rods. Since the second connecting rod is slidably mounted on a slider and the slider is slidably mounted on a guide rail, the gripping mechanism at the bottom of the second connecting rod moves along an arc path. Compared to a robotic arm, this process is simpler in structure and spatial trajectory, which facilitates the rapid gripping and transfer of cigarettes. In addition, the second connecting rod is provided with multiple connecting holes to facilitate the adjustment of the gripping mechanism's position, and the bracket is slidably mounted on the base, allowing for adjustment of the gripping position.
