[0002] In the cigarette production process, materials often need to be positioned during the conveying process, such as labeling and coding. The accuracy of material positioning is related to the quality of the packaging process and the efficiency of equipment operation.

[0003] In existing technologies, a vision system is used to communicate with the drive unit. When the material arrives at the workstation, the drive unit stops running, and after processing, the drive unit starts running again. This method of repeatedly starting and stopping the drive unit can easily damage the drive unit and increase material costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conveying and positioning mechanism to solve the problem in the prior art where the drive component is repeatedly started and stopped to position materials, which can easily cause damage to the drive component, thereby reducing maintenance and material costs.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A conveying and positioning mechanism is provided, comprising:

[0007] The support arm consists of two arms, which are spaced apart along a second direction. The two support arms extend along a first direction and are rotatably equipped with rollers at both ends.

[0008] Carrier plate, the carrier plate being used to support materials;

[0009] A conveyor belt is provided corresponding to the support arm. The carrier plate is placed on two of the conveyor belts and the conveyor belts are wound around the rollers to transport the carrier plate along the first direction.

[0010] A positioning component is provided on the front side of the processing station along the first direction, including a first driving member and an abutment block. The first driving member can drive the abutment block to move in the vertical direction, and the carrier plate can abut against the highest position of the abutment block to be positioned at the processing station.

[0011] A lifting assembly is provided at the processing station and includes a second driving member. The second driving member can drive the carrier plate to move along the vertical direction, so that there is a gap between the carrier plate and the conveyor belt.

[0012] As an optional technical solution for the conveying and positioning mechanism, the rollers corresponding to the two support arms are connected by a rotating shaft, so that the two rollers rotate synchronously.

[0013] As an optional technical solution for the conveying and positioning mechanism, the carrier plate is provided with a first flexible block at its front end along the first direction to abut against the abutting block.

[0014] As an optional technical solution for the conveying and positioning mechanism, the lifting assembly further includes a connecting plate, which is connected to the second driving member. The second driving member can drive the connecting plate to move along the vertical direction, thereby driving the carrier plate to move along the vertical direction.

[0015] As an optional technical solution for the conveying and positioning mechanism, a second flexible block is provided on the side of the connecting plate near the carrier plate to abut against the carrier plate.

[0016] As an optional technical solution for the conveying and positioning mechanism, both the first driving member and the second driving member are provided with detection elements to detect the extension and retraction of the push rod of the first driving member and the push rod of the second driving member.

The first driving member is fixed to the first fixing plate. Changing the position of the first fastener in the groove changes the position of the positioning component.

[0019] As an optional technical solution for the conveying and positioning mechanism, the conveying and positioning mechanism further includes a second fixed plate, which is U-shaped. Two second fasteners pass through both sides of the second fixed plate and are fixed in the groove. The second driving member is fixed to the second fixed plate. Changing the position of the second fasteners in the groove changes the position of the lifting component.

[0020] As an optional technical solution for the conveying and positioning mechanism, the carrier plate is provided with a locking block for fixing the material.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This application discloses a conveying and positioning mechanism, including support arms, a carrier plate, a conveyor belt, a positioning component, and a lifting component. Two support arms are spaced apart along a second direction, and both support arms extend along a first direction with rollers rotatably mounted at both ends. The carrier plate carries materials.

The carrier plate is positioned using an abutment block, and the carrier plate is driven away from the conveyor belt at the processing station using a second drive unit. After processing is completed, the carrier plate is put back onto the conveyor belt using the second drive unit, and the abutment block is lowered to transport the carrier plate to the next process. This eliminates the need to repeatedly shut down the conveyor belt, avoids damage to the conveyor belt's power source, and reduces maintenance and material costs. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0039] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0040] In the cigarette production process, materials often need to be positioned during the conveying process, such as labeling and coding. The accuracy of material positioning is related to the quality of the packaging process and the efficiency of equipment operation.

[0041] In existing technologies, a vision system is used to communicate with the drive unit. When the material arrives at the workstation, the drive unit stops running, and after processing, the drive unit starts running again. This method of repeatedly starting and stopping the drive unit can easily damage the drive unit and increase material costs.

[0042] To address the aforementioned problems, this embodiment provides a conveying and positioning mechanism, see reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a support arm 10, a carrier plate 20, a conveyor belt 30, a positioning component 40, and a lifting component 50. Two support arms 10 are spaced apart along a second direction. Both support arms 10 extend along a first direction and are equipped with rollers at both ends. The carrier plate 20 carries material 1. The conveyor belts 30 are correspondingly positioned to the support arms 10, with the carrier plate 20 resting on the two conveyor belts 30. The conveyor belts 30 are wound around the rollers to transport the carrier plate 20 along the first direction. The positioning component 40 is located at the front of the processing station along the first direction and includes a first driving member 41 and an abutment block 42. The first driving member 41 can drive the abutment block 42 to move vertically, allowing the carrier plate 20 to abut against the highest abutment block 42 to be positioned at the processing station. The lifting component 50 is located at the processing station and includes a second driving member 51. The second driving member 51 can drive the carrier plate 20 to move vertically, creating a gap between the carrier plate 20 and the conveyor belt 30. The carrier plate 20 is positioned using the abutment block 42, and the carrier plate 20 is driven away from the conveyor belt 30 at the processing station using the second drive unit 51. After processing is completed, the carrier plate 20 is put back onto the conveyor belt 30 using the second drive unit 51, and the abutment block 42 is lowered so that the carrier plate 20 is transported to the next process. This eliminates the need to repeatedly shut down the conveyor belt 30, avoids damage to the power source of the conveyor belt 30, and reduces maintenance and material costs.

[0043] Furthermore, the rollers corresponding to the two support arms 10 are connected by a rotating shaft 11, thereby enabling the two rollers to rotate synchronously. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 11 is connected to a rotary motor to provide a power source for the rollers, thereby enabling the conveyor belt 30 to move along the first direction. In other embodiments, a chain can be used instead of the conveyor belt 30.

[0044] Furthermore, a first flexible block 21 is provided at the front end of the carrier plate 20 along the first direction to abut against the abutment block 42. Specifically, the first flexible block 21 is a rubber block and is fixed to the carrier plate 20 by fasteners. The abutment block 42 is an L-shaped plate to facilitate abutment against the rubber block. The use of the rubber block can avoid damage to the carrier plate 20.

[0045] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 50 also includes a connecting plate 52, which is connected to the second driving member 51. The second driving member 51 can drive the connecting plate 52 to move vertically, thereby moving the carrier plate 20 vertically. Specifically, a second flexible block 521 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 52 near the carrier plate 20 to abut against the carrier plate 20. The second flexible block 521 is a rubber block to avoid damaging the carrier plate 20. In this embodiment, two second flexible blocks 521 are provided.

[0046] Furthermore, both the first driving member 41 and the second driving member 51 are provided with a detection element 70 to detect the extension and retraction of the push rod of the first driving member 41 and the push rod of the second driving member 51. The detection element 70 can be configured as a proximity sensor or a Hall sensor.

[0047] Furthermore, both the first drive member 41 and the second drive member 51 are provided with airflow regulators 80 to adjust the speed of the first drive member 41 and the second drive member 51. The first drive member 41 and the second drive member 51 are configured as cylinders, and the speed at which gas is introduced into or extracted from the cylinder is adjusted to control the speed of the cylinder.

[0048] Furthermore, the conveying and positioning mechanism also includes a first fixing plate 61. Grooves are provided on the sides of the two support arms 10 that are close to each other. A first fastener passes through the first fixing plate 61 and is fixed in the groove. A first driving member 41 is fixed to the first fixing plate 61. Changing the position of the first fastener within the groove changes the position of the positioning component 40. The conveying and positioning mechanism also includes a second fixing plate 62, which is U-shaped. Two second fasteners pass through both sides of the second fixing plate 62 and are fixed in the groove. A second driving member 51 is fixed to the second fixing plate 62. Changing the position of the second fastener within the groove changes the position of the lifting component 50. In this embodiment, multiple grooves are provided vertically, and multiple first and second fasteners are correspondingly provided. The second driving member 51 is located at the bottom of the U-shape for easy disassembly or fixing.

[0049] Furthermore, the carrier plate 20 is provided with locking blocks 22 for fixing the material 1. In this embodiment, the locking blocks 22 are L-shaped, the carrier plate 20 is square, and there are four locking blocks 22, which are respectively set at the four corners of the carrier plate 20.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
