Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette machinery and equipment technology, and more specifically, to a glue-applying pen for cigarette carton packaging. Background Technology

[0002] During cigarette production, due to machine self-inspection, quality inspector inspection, patrol inspector inspection, and machine rejection, qualified finished small boxes of cigarettes may remain. These cigarettes are mostly manually packaged into cartons (i.e., carton-packaged cigarettes) and wrapped in transparent paper. During the packaging process, the label paper on the carton needs to be sealed with glue using a glue pen.

[0003] However, most existing glue containers are open-top aluminum cylindrical boxes, which leave the glue exposed to the air for a long time, making it very easy for it to solidify, resulting in resource waste, and making it extremely inconvenient to use during the solidification process.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a glue application pen for cigarette cartons has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technology solution for applying adhesive to cigarette cartons using a dispensing pen.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a cigarette carton adhesive application pen is provided, comprising: an adhesive storage cylinder, a partition cylinder, a button cap, and a movable component;

[0007] The glue storage cylinder has a glue outlet at the bottom and a glue storage cavity inside. The outer peripheral wall of the first end of the partition cylinder is connected to the top of the glue storage cylinder. The partition cylinder is used to close the glue storage cavity. The push cap is slidably disposed at the second end of the partition cylinder.

[0008] The moving assembly includes a moving column, a spring, and a moving part. The moving column is disposed inside the glue storage cylinder and the partition cylinder. A sealing head is provided at the bottom of the moving column and is inserted into the glue outlet hole. The first end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the button cap, and the second end of the spring is connected to the top end of the moving column. The moving part is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the moving column and is used to drive the moving column to move up and down in the glue storage cavity. The moving direction of the moving column is opposite to the moving direction of the button cap.

[0009] Optionally, the partition cylinder includes a first annular cylinder, a second annular cylinder, a partition plate, and a third annular cylinder. The first end of the first annular cylinder and the first end of the second annular cylinder are respectively connected to the partition plate. The partition plate has a mounting hole at its center. The third annular cylinder is located inside the first annular cylinder and communicates with the mounting hole. The movable column is slidably disposed inside the third annular cylinder.

[0010] Optionally, the diameter of the partition is larger than the diameter of the first annular cylinder and the diameter of the second annular cylinder, and the partition abuts against the top of the glue storage cylinder.

[0011] Optionally, the outer peripheral wall of the second annular cylinder is provided with external threads, and the inner peripheral wall of the glue storage cylinder is provided with internal threads. The second annular cylinder is connected to the internal threads of the glue storage cylinder through the external threads.

[0012] Optionally, the movable column is provided with a limiting plate, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the third annular cylinder, and the second end of the spring is connected to the limiting plate.

[0013] Optionally, a moving groove is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the third annular cylinder, and the moving groove extends laterally through the entire third annular cylinder; an opening is correspondingly provided on the moving column;

[0014] The moving part includes a first inclined block, a second inclined block, and a moving block. The first inclined block and the second inclined block are respectively disposed on the inner wall of the cap. The moving block is moved into the moving groove and the opening, and the two ends of the moving block abut against the first inclined side of the first inclined block and the first inclined side of the second inclined block.

[0015] Optionally, the first hypotenuse of the first inclined block and the first hypotenuse of the second inclined block are parallel;

[0016] The movable block includes a connecting plate, a first abutting plate, and a second abutting plate. The first end of the connecting plate is connected to the top end of the first abutting plate, and the first end of the connecting plate is connected to the bottom end of the second abutting plate.

The moving column moves in the opposite direction to the cap. In use, the operator applies pressure to the cap, causing it to move towards the glue storage cylinder. This compresses the spring and moves the moving column towards the cap, opening the glue outlet hole and allowing the glue in the storage cylinder to flow out, thus completing the glue application process for the label paper on the carton. When the operator releases the cap, the cap and moving column move back to their initial positions under the action of the spring, preventing the glue from solidifying due to prolonged exposure to air, increasing ease of use, and reducing waste.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0029] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0030] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cigarette carton adhesive application pen, including: an adhesive storage cylinder 1, a partition cylinder 2, a button cap 3, and a moving component 4.

[0032] The bottom of the glue storage cylinder 1 has a glue outlet hole 11, and the inside of the glue storage cylinder 1 has a glue storage cavity (not shown in the figure). The outer peripheral wall of the first end of the partition cylinder 2 is connected to the top of the glue storage cylinder 1. The partition cylinder 2 is used to seal the glue storage cavity. The cap 3 is slidably set at the second end of the partition cylinder 2.

[0033] Specifically, the bottom of the glue storage cylinder 1 is a conical structure, and the glue outlet 11 is located at the lowest end of the glue storage cylinder 1, so that the glue liquid inside the glue storage cylinder 1 can flow along the inclined surface to the glue outlet 11 and be discharged.

[0034] The moving component 4 includes a moving column 41, a spring 42, and a moving part 43. The moving column 41 is disposed inside the glue storage cylinder 1 and the partition cylinder 2. A sealing head 44 is provided at the bottom of the moving column 41 and is inserted into the glue outlet hole 11. The first end of the spring 42 is connected to the inner wall of the cap 3, and the second end of the spring 42 is connected to the top end of the moving column 41. The moving part 43 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the moving column 41 and is used to drive the moving column 41 to move up and down in the glue storage cavity. The moving direction of the moving column 41 is opposite to the moving direction of the cap 3.

[0035] Specifically, when the sealing head 44 is inserted into the glue outlet 11, the glue inside the glue storage cylinder 1 cannot be discharged; when the sealing head 44 moves into the inside of the glue storage cylinder 1, the glue outlet 11 is opened, and the glue inside the glue storage cylinder 1 is discharged from the glue outlet 11.

[0036] Furthermore, the sealing head 44 has a conical structure. In its natural state, the sealing head 44 is slightly higher than the plane of the glue outlet hole 11 at the bottom of the glue storage cylinder 1, making the seal tighter, preventing the glue from flowing out, and preventing air from entering.

[0037] When it is necessary to apply glue to the label paper of the carton, the operator acts on the cap 3 to move the cap 3 toward the glue storage cylinder 1, while the spring 42 is compressed and the moving column 41 moves toward the cap 3. When the sealing head 44 moves into the inside of the glue storage cylinder 1, the glue outlet 11 opens, allowing the glue in the glue storage cylinder 1 to flow out, thereby completing the glue application process for the label paper of the carton.

[0038] After the glue application is completed, the operator releases the button 3. Under the action of the spring 42, the button 3 and the moving column 41 move to the initial position. At this time, the sealing head 44 is inserted into the glue outlet 11, thereby sealing the glue outlet 11 and preventing the glue liquid inside the glue storage cylinder 1 from being discharged.

[0039] This invention can prevent glue from being in contact with air for a long time, prevent the glue from solidifying, reduce glue waste, and the parts are simple to manufacture, low in cost, easy to operate and convenient to use.

[0040] This invention connects the outer peripheral wall of the first end of the partition cylinder 2 to the top of the glue storage cylinder 1, and slides the cap 3 at the second end of the partition cylinder 2; the sealing head 44 is inserted into the glue outlet 11, the first end of the spring 42 is connected to the inner wall of the cap 3, the second end of the spring 42 is connected to the top of the moving column 41, and the moving part 43 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the moving column 41. The moving direction of the moving column 41 is opposite to the moving direction of the cap 3. In use, the operator acts on the cap 3, causing it to move towards the glue storage cylinder 1, which simultaneously compresses the spring 42 and causes the moving column 41 to move towards the cap 3. At this time, the glue outlet 11 opens, allowing the glue in the glue storage cylinder 1 to flow out, thus completing the glue application process for the label paper of the carton. When the operator releases the cap 3, under the action of the spring 42, the cap 3 and the moving column 41 move back to their initial positions, avoiding the problem of glue solidification due to prolonged exposure to air, increasing ease of use, and reducing waste.

[0041] In one embodiment of the adhesive application pen for cigarette cartons of this utility model, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the partition cylinder 2 includes a first annular cylinder 21, a second annular cylinder 22, a partition plate 23, and a third annular cylinder 24. The first end of the first annular cylinder 21 and the first end of the second annular cylinder 22 are respectively connected to the partition plate 23. An installation hole is provided at the center of the partition plate 23. The third annular cylinder 24 is located inside the first annular cylinder 21 and communicates with the installation hole. The movable column 41 is slidably disposed inside the third annular cylinder 24.

[0042] This invention connects the first end of the first annular cylinder 21 and the first end of the second annular cylinder 22 to the partition plate 23 respectively. The partition plate 23 can seal the glue inside the glue storage cylinder 1, preventing glue leakage and preventing glue backflow and contamination of the upper parts of the glue pen when the moving column 41 is not placed correctly. Furthermore, by sliding the moving column 41 inside the third annular cylinder 24, the third annular cylinder 24 guides and limits the movement direction of the moving column 41.

[0043] Furthermore, the diameter of the partition 23 is larger than the diameter of the first annular cylinder 21 and the diameter of the second annular cylinder 22, and the partition 23 abuts against the top of the glue storage cylinder 1.

[0044] Specifically, the sealing head 44 remains within the second annular cylinder 22 throughout its movement.

[0045] In one embodiment of the adhesive application pen for cigarette cartons of this utility model, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in order to increase the stability of the connection between the second annular cylinder 22 and the glue storage cylinder 1, an external thread is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the second annular cylinder 22, and an internal thread is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the glue storage cylinder 1. The second annular cylinder 22 is connected to the glue storage cylinder 1 through the external thread.

[0046] Specifically, since the second annular cylinder 22 is threadedly connected to the glue storage cylinder 1, it can be frequently disassembled to add an appropriate amount of glue to the glue storage cylinder 1.

[0047] In one embodiment of the adhesive application pen for cigarette cartons of this utility model, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the movable column 41 is provided with a limiting plate 45, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the third annular cylinder 24, and the second end of the spring 42 is connected to the limiting plate 45.

[0048] This invention prevents the moving column 41 from moving too far downward by setting the diameter of the limiting plate 45 to be larger than the diameter of the third annular cylinder 24, and by connecting the second end of the spring 42 to the limiting plate 45.

[0049] In one embodiment of the adhesive application pen for cigarette cartons of this utility model, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a moving groove 25 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the third annular cylinder 24, and the moving groove 25 extends laterally through the entire third annular cylinder 24; an opening 47 is correspondingly provided on the moving column 41.

[0050] The moving part 43 includes a first tilting block 431, a second tilting block 432 and a moving block 433. The first tilting block 431 and the second tilting block 432 are respectively disposed on the inner wall of the cap 3. The moving block 433 is moved and disposed in the moving groove 25 and the opening 47, and the two ends of the moving block 433 abut against the first inclined edge 46 of the first tilting block 431 and the first inclined edge 46 of the second tilting block 432.

[0051] Specifically, the length of the opening 47 is less than the length of the moving column 41, and the length of the opening 47 is greater than the width of the moving block 433, so that the moving column 41 will not affect the movement of the moving block 433 when it moves downward or upward.

[0052] Both the first inclined block 431 and the second inclined block 432 are right-angled triangles, and the first inclined block 431 and the second inclined block 432 are centrally symmetrically arranged. The first hypotenuse 46 of the first inclined block 431 and the first hypotenuse 46 of the second inclined block 432 are the hypotenuses of the right-angled triangles.

[0053] When the cap 3 compresses the spring 42 and the moving column 41 and moves downward, the first inclined block 431 and the second inclined block 432 move downward simultaneously. Since the first inclined block 431 and the second inclined block 432 are both right-angled triangles, and the two ends of the moving block 433 abut against the first hypotenuse 46 of the first inclined block 431 and the first hypotenuse 46 of the second inclined block 432, the moving block 433 will move in the horizontal direction, and the moving column 41 will move upward in the vertical direction.

[0054] More specifically, when Figure 2 When the cap 3 compresses the spring 42 and the moving column 41 downwards, the first tilting block 431 and the second tilting block 432 move downwards simultaneously. As the width of the first tilting block 431 on the left gradually decreases while the width of the second tilting block 432 on the right gradually increases, the moving block 433 moves to the left. Furthermore, under the action of the opening 47, the moving column 41 moves upwards. This invention, through the up-and-down movement of the moving column 41, can extrude adhesive, thereby applying glue to the label paper of the carton.

[0055] In one embodiment of the adhesive application pen for cigarette cartons of this utility model, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the first inclined side 46 of the first inclined block 431 and the first inclined side 46 of the second inclined block 432 are parallel.

[0056] The movable block 433 includes a connecting plate 434, a first abutting plate 435, and a second abutting plate 436. The first end of the connecting plate 434 is connected to the top end of the first abutting plate 435, and the first end of the connecting plate 434 is connected to the bottom end of the second abutting plate 436. The outer sides of the first abutting plate 435 and the second abutting plate 436 are both second inclined edges 437, and the second inclined edges 437 abut against each other.

[0057] Specifically, since the connecting plate 434 is inclined, the opening 47 is also inclined, and the center lines of the connecting plate 434 and the opening 47 in the length direction intersect the first inclined side 46 and the second inclined side 437. The moving block 433 is centrally symmetrically arranged, and the second inclined side 437 is parallel to the first inclined side 46.

[0058] In the same direction, the sum of the angle between the center line of the connecting plate 434 and the opening 47 in the length direction and the horizontal line and the angle between the first hypotenuse 46 or the second hypotenuse 437 and the horizontal line is equal to 180 degrees. With this setting, when the moving block 433 moves horizontally, it can drive the moving column 41 to move upward.

[0059] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
