Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of tobacco turnover technology, and more particularly to a tobacco processing turnover device. Background Technology
[0002] In the tobacco processing process, cigarette factories need to transfer tobacco between various workstations. The transfer of tobacco blocks and cakes is mostly done using flatbed carts. These carts are arranged and moved between workstations. However, in practice, it has been found that using flatbed carts has certain drawbacks. As tobacco materials are continuously piled onto the carts, the stack height gradually increases. Loading and unloading materials from the flatbed carts requires two people working together. When the material height on the flatbed cart is too high or too low, it is not conducive to the workers' handling, resulting in uncomfortable operating postures and affecting work efficiency.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a tobacco processing turnover device, applied in the tobacco processing technology of a cigarette factory. It is preferably used for the turnover and transportation of tobacco materials. During the tobacco processing process in a cigarette factory, tobacco materials need to be transferred multiple times between various workstations. The transfer of materials such as tobacco blocks and tobacco cakes is usually carried out using flatbed carts. Two or more people work together to move these materials onto the flatbed carts, where they are stacked and then pushed to a designated location for unloading by workers. However, it has been found that as materials are continuously stacked on the flatbed carts, the stack height gradually increases, while during unloading, the stack height decreases. Therefore, when loading and unloading materials from the flatbed carts, workers have to stand on tiptoe or bend over excessively when the stack height is high or low, resulting in uncomfortable working postures and affecting work efficiency. The tobacco processing turnover device provided in this application aims to improve the comfort of workers when handling tobacco materials, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0025] The tobacco processing turnover device includes a first platform 100 and a second platform 200. The first platform 100 has a accommodating space that extends vertically and has an opening at the top. The second platform 200 is disposed within the accommodating space of the first platform 100 and is used to carry materials. The second platform 200 can be adjusted vertically within the accommodating space of the first platform 100. The tobacco processing turnover device also includes a driving device and a sliding assembly. The driving device is disposed on the first platform 100 and is used to drive the second platform 200 to adjust vertically within the accommodating space of the first platform 100. The sliding assembly is disposed on the first platform 100 to allow the first platform 100 to slide. For example, the sliding assembly can be a pulley system, which allows the first platform 100 to slide and move under manual pushing.
[0026] In this embodiment, a vertically extending accommodating space with an open top is formed on the first platform 100. Under the driving action of the driving device, the first platform 100 can be adjusted vertically within the accommodating space, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the second platform 200. When loading tobacco materials, the second platform 200 is raised to a height that allows the operator to maintain a comfortable posture. As the amount of tobacco materials loaded on the second platform 200 increases, the height of the second platform 200 is gradually lowered, so that the operator can always maintain a relatively comfortable posture when loading materials onto the second platform 200, which helps to improve work efficiency. Similarly, when unloading materials from the second platform 200, the height of the second platform 200 is gradually increased as the materials are gradually unloaded and lowered, improving the comfort of the operator when unloading materials.
[0027] After the materials are loaded onto the second platform 200, the first platform 100 is pushed. With the help of the sliding components, the first platform 100, the second platform 200, and the materials can be easily moved to the designated location, and then the materials can be unloaded.
[0028] Preferably, the first platform 100 is a cylindrical structure with an open top, and the internal space of the first platform 100 is configured as an accommodating space. The cylindrical structure with an open top allows the second platform 200 to rise and fall inside the first platform 100. When the second platform 200 is loaded with a large amount of material, after the second platform 200 is lowered to the lower part of the accommodating space inside the first platform 100, the first platform 100 can also provide a certain degree of protection for the material on the second platform 200.
[0029] More preferably, the first platform 100 is a square cylindrical structure with an open top. The first platform 100 includes a base plate 101 and four side walls 102 arranged in a surrounding shape at the top of the base plate 101. The second platform 200 is arranged in a flat shape. In this embodiment, the second platform 200 is a flat frame structure, which is conducive to carrying materials. The first platform 100 is a vertically extending square cylindrical structure with an open top. The four side walls 102 surround the four sides of the first platform 100. In this way, it can more closely resemble the shape of tobacco materials in reality and improve space utilization.
[0030] In this embodiment, the sliding assembly includes multiple casters, which are disposed at the bottom of the base plate 101 to push and move the first platform 100.
[0031] In this embodiment, the top height of the side wall 102 of the first platform 100 is at a comfortable operating height for the operator. The top height of the side wall 102 is preferably 110-140 cm. When loading materials onto the second platform 200, the height of the second platform 200 is adjusted by the driving device so that the second platform 200 is in the accommodating space and close to the top of the side wall 102. Preferably, it is adjusted so that the top of the second platform 200 is 5 cm lower than the top of the side wall 102. At this height, it is convenient for the operator to move materials onto the second platform 200. As the height of the materials increases, the second platform 200 is gradually lowered. In this way, the side wall 102 of the first platform 100 can also limit the loaded materials to a certain extent, making the vertical arrangement more neat and conducive to the stability of the materials. Similarly, when unloading materials downwards, the second platform 200 is gradually raised so that the top material is at a height that is convenient for the operator to operate. Moreover, the top material should be exposed in the accommodating space of the first platform 100. Preferably, the material is 20-40 cm higher than the top of the side wall 102.
[0032] Preferably, the driving device includes a threaded rod 301 and a drive motor 302 for driving the threaded rod 301 to rotate. The threaded rod 301 is rotatably mounted on the second platform 200, and the drive motor 302 is disposed on the second platform 200. The threaded rod 301 and the second platform 200 are threadedly engaged. The driving device also includes a guide slide 303 and a guide block 304 disposed on the second platform 200. The guide slide 303 extends vertically and is disposed on the first platform 100. The threaded rod 301 and the guide block 304 are threadedly engaged. The guide slide 303 is provided with a recessed guide groove 305 in the vertical direction. The guide block 304 can reciprocate along the guide groove 305. The threaded rod 301 is located in the guide groove 305. The two ends of the threaded rod 301 and the two ends of the guide slide 303 are rotatably connected.
[0033] In this embodiment, the driving device includes a threaded rod 301, a drive motor 302, a guide slide 303, and a guide block 304. The guide slide 303 extends vertically, and one side of the guide slide 303 is connected to the inner side of the sidewall 102. One side of the guide slide 303 is recessed to form a guide groove 305, which also has a certain length. The extension length of the guide groove 305 is parallel to the extension direction of the guide slide 303, that is, the guide groove 305 also extends vertically. The opening direction of the guide groove 305 faces the second platform 200. The guide block 304 is disposed on the outer periphery of the second platform 200. The guide block 304 can fit into the guide groove 305, and the guide block 304 can move along the guide groove 305. The threaded rod 301 moves vertically back and forth in the groove 305. The top end of the threaded rod 301 is rotatably mounted on the top end of the guide slide 303 via a bearing. The bottom end of the threaded rod 301 extends downwards from the bottom end of the guide slide 303, and a portion of the threaded rod 301 near the bottom end is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the guide slide 303 via a bearing. The bottom end of the threaded rod 301 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 302. The drive motor 302 is mounted on the base plate 101 or side wall 102 of the first platform 100. The threaded rod 301 and the guide block 304 are threadedly engaged. Under the driving action of the drive motor 302, the threaded rod 301 rotates, causing the guide block 304 to rise and fall along the guide groove 305, thereby causing the second platform 200 to rise and fall.
[0034] In this embodiment, a connecting arm 306 is provided between the guide block 304 and the second platform 200. The guide block 304 is connected to the second platform 200 through the connecting arm 306, so that the height of the second platform 200 is lower than the height of the guide block 304, and the second platform 200 is in a sinking posture relative to the guide block 304, which is conducive to sinking the center of gravity and improving stability.
[0035] Preferably, there are multiple drive devices, for example, four drive devices, one drive device is provided for each side wall 102, to improve the stability of the second platform 200 when it is raised and lowered.
[0036] In one example, a first buffer layer 400 is provided on the inner side of the sidewall 102. The first buffer layer 400 can be a rubber sheet or foam board provided on the inner side of the sidewall 102 by means of adhesive, etc. When transporting tobacco materials, it can play a certain buffering role on the materials, avoid the materials from shaking and being subjected to large impact forces, and prevent the materials from being damaged by impact. In this embodiment, the first buffer layer 400 is provided to avoid components such as the guide slide 303 and the drive motor 302.
[0037] In one example, a second buffer layer 500 is provided on the top of the base plate 101, and the second platform 200 can be placed on the second buffer layer 500. The second buffer layer 500 can be a rubber plate. When the second platform 200 is lowered to the lowest position, it can be placed on the second buffer layer 500, which has a certain buffering effect on the rise and fall of the second platform 200 and can buffer the impact between the second platform 200 and the base plate 101 of the first platform 100 to a certain extent.
