Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco packaging machinery technology, specifically to an improved cam mechanism for a soft-pack cigarette packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of tobacco packaging machinery, the GDX1 / GDX2 soft pack cigarette packaging machine is a widely used automated equipment. Its core component, the No. 1 wheel cam mechanism, is responsible for the precise transfer and positioning of the cigarettes.

[0003] In the prior art, the cam mechanism adopts a spring return design (i.e., elastic locking), and its main structure includes a main shaft, a conjugate cam, a tie rod shaft, a rocker arm, and a return spring.

[0004] However, this design has the following significant drawbacks in actual operation:

[0005] 1. Due to the long-term high-speed operation of the No. 1 wheel (usually ≥400 times / minute), the return spring is frequently subjected to alternating loads, which can easily lead to fatigue fracture. The annual failure rate is as high as 15 times / unit. After the spring breaks, the swing arm loses its return force, the pawl droops, and it cannot complete the cigarette transfer action. It may even cause a rigid collision between the cam and the pull rod shaft, damaging the front and rear modules. The cost of a single repair exceeds 20,000 yuan.

[0006] 2. The installation position of the No. 1 wheel is narrow. After the spring breaks, the whole machine needs to be disassembled for repair. The average downtime is 8 hours per instance, which seriously affects production efficiency. Spring fragments may fly into the module and further scratch the cigarette or damage other precision parts, indirectly increasing maintenance costs.

[0007] 3. Spring failure can cause deviations in the swing arm's movement trajectory, leading to quality problems such as scratches, wrinkles, and deformation at both ends of the cigarette. The product qualification rate is only 95.2%, far below the industry standard of over 99%.

[0008] 4. The existing cam working curve (such as the simple harmonic motion curve) has a large jerk, and the vibration noise exceeds 75dB when running at high speed. Moreover, the positioning accuracy error reaches 0.05mm, which is difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision packaging. The elastic deformation of the spring will introduce additional transmission error, further reducing the stability of the mechanism.

[0009] 5. The swing arm has not been dynamically balanced, which makes it prone to inertial vibration when running at high speed.

[0010] Therefore, we propose an improved cam mechanism for flexible cigarette packaging machines. Utility Model Content

The conjugate cam includes a main cam surface and two return cam surfaces. The contour curve of the return cam surface connects with the main cam surface, forming a geometric locking structure with springless return. The long tie rod shaft is provided with two first shift shaft leading edge beams, arranged in upper and lower layers. Each first shift shaft leading edge beam has a first roller at one end, fixed with a national standard 619-4 first bearing, and installed with a first bolt and a first tapered washer. The side contour of the first shift shaft leading edge beam is an involute curve or a variable curvature surface, used to reduce the stress concentration factor to below 1.2. The rear shaft section undergoes sectional heat treatment for the swing of the tie rod shaft and is positioned with a shaft shoulder. The top end of the front shaft section is machined with a threaded hole for fastening the swing arm, and the tail end of the rear shaft section is also machined with a threaded hole for inserting a pin or using... Screws are used to fix washers to prevent shaft movement. The short tie rod shaft has two second-axis leading edge beams, located at the upper 1 / 3 of the shaft body. These beams are integrally forged with the shaft body and undergo high-frequency quenching heat treatment, achieving a surface hardness of HRC45-50. Each second-axis leading edge beam has a second roller at one end, fixed with a national standard 619-4 second bearing and installed with a second bolt and a second tapered washer. Its side profile is an involute curve or a variable curvature surface, used to reduce the stress concentration factor to below 1.2. The working curve of the conjugate cam adopts a modified sine curve, and its dimensionless motion curve meets the requirements of jump ≤20, vibration noise ≤65dB, and positioning accuracy error ≤0.02mm. The number of conjugate cams is one set, the number of long tie rod shafts and short tie rod shafts is two sets each, and the number of swing arms is eight sets. The conjugate cams are connected to the main shaft via flat keys and are equipped with machined positioning holes for precise installation and alignment.

[0015] Preferably, the conjugate cam is made of TC4 titanium alloy and is subjected to quenching and low-temperature tempering treatment, with a surface hardness of HRC50-55, and the surface roughness Ra of the main cam surface and the reset cam surface is ≤0.4μm.

[0016] Preferably, the root of the first leading edge beam of the long tie rod shaft is provided with a stress relief fillet with a radius of R1.5-R2.5, and the ratio of the beam top width (W) to the beam bottom width (D) is 1:1.5-1:2.

[0017] Preferably, the surfaces of the first and second derailleur front beams are provided with a 0.1-0.2 mm thick wear-resistant coating, the coating composition being WC-10Co-4Cr, and the microhardness being ≥1100HV.

[0018] Preferably, the swing arm is made of 7075 aluminum alloy and has an internal weight-reducing hollow structure, which reduces the overall weight by 30%-35%.

[0019] Preferably, the first bolt and the second bolt are grade 12.9 high-strength bolts, and the cone angle of the first tapered washer and the second tapered washer is 15°±1°.

[0020] Preferably, the modified sine curve of the conjugate cam has an acceleration change rate ≤15m / s³ within the phase range of 0.3-0.7, and a maximum acceleration value ≤120m / s².

[0021] Preferably, the long tie rod shaft is made of 40Cr material, and after quenching and tempering, its tensile strength is ≥800MPa. The short tie rod shaft is made of 20CrMnTi material, and after carburizing and quenching, its surface hardness is HRC58-62.

[0024] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0025] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an improved cam mechanism for a flexible cigarette packaging machine, which has the following advantages:

[0026] 1. This improved cam mechanism for soft-pack cigarette packaging machine changes the cam mechanism from spring locking to geometric locking. That is, two reset cam surfaces are added to the original cam of the GDX1 / GDX2 wheel to replace the function of spring reset, thus completely solving the problem of spring fatigue fracture.

[0027] 2. This improved cam mechanism for soft-pack cigarette packaging machines eliminates the need for springs, avoiding fatigue fractures caused by frequent spring resets. This prevents the pawls on the first wheel from sagging, which not only fails to transfer cigarettes but also causes severe collisions when the first wheel rotates at high speed, damaging the front and rear modules of GDX1 / GDX2 and resulting in significant property damage.

[0028] 3. This improved cam mechanism for soft-pack cigarette packaging machine solves the problem of maintenance difficulties and reduced production efficiency caused by spring breakage. Due to the narrow installation position of the No. 1 wheel, maintenance is difficult, and the intermittent breakage of the spring will cause long downtime for equipment maintenance, affecting production efficiency. In addition, it also avoids quality problems such as cigarette tearing, cigarette wrinkling, and deformation of both ends of the cigarette.

[0029] 4. This improved cam mechanism for soft-pack cigarette packaging machines modifies the sine curve to a new conjugate cam working curve, resulting in smaller jumps, less vibration and noise, and higher positioning accuracy.

[0030] 5. The improved cam mechanism for soft-pack cigarette packaging machine features a lightweight and dynamic balance design for the swing arm. The installation method has been changed from the original fastener clamping connection (which is inconvenient to install) to a special screw positioning and connection, which not only makes installation easier but also saves time when adjusting the tooling.
