Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary tooling technology for cigarette packaging machines, and in particular to a detachable oil receiving tray. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the tobacco industry has implemented the "box condition" linkage system, assigning trademark codes during the printing process and linking "box condition" QR codes during the production process. By tracing the production process and supervising the circulation process of cigarette products, the scientific nature of production management is further improved, and the construction of intelligent factories is promoted.

[0003] When upgrading existing ZB45 packaging machines, QR code readers are installed on the workstation bracket at the location where the cigarette push outlet of the packaging machine is associated with the carton, so as to scan the cigarette packs transmitted to the corresponding location.

[0004] However, in actual operation, on the one hand, due to the aging of the equipment, some bearings and transmission mechanisms experience structural wear or seal failure, resulting in small amounts of lubricating oil dripping onto the barcode reader. However, considering production costs, it is not advisable to make major modifications to the equipment itself. On the other hand, the space for installing the barcode reader is limited, and changing its installation position can easily conflict with other workstations. Therefore, the barcode reader's installation position cannot be adjusted arbitrarily. Furthermore, during equipment maintenance, lubricating oil often drips onto the barcode reader. These situations can cause the barcode reader lens to blur, affecting reading accuracy. Lubricating oil seeping into the barcode reader can also cause more serious problems affecting equipment safety, such as internal circuitry issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a detachable oil receiving tray to solve the problem in the prior art where lubricating oil dripping onto the barcode reader affects the accuracy of barcode reading, thereby maintaining normal production at a lower cost.

[0006] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means: a detachable oil receiving tray, comprising:

[0007] A tray for receiving lubricating oil dripping from cigarette-making equipment, the tray comprising a receiving cavity structure formed by side plates and a bottom plate with a top opening;

[0008] A bracket is used to detachably connect the tray to the cigarette rolling equipment so that the tray is positioned above the barcode reader; the bracket includes two horizontally spaced storage plates, and the outer edges of the storage plates are provided with limiting baffles.

[0009] Optionally, the bracket includes a mounting plate with two vertically arranged mounting holes. These mounting holes allow for easy adjustment of the bracket and tray height, reducing the relative height of lubricating oil drips and minimizing oil splashing contamination.

[0010] Optionally, one side of the mounting plate extends vertically to form an extension plate, and the shelf and the extension plate are arranged perpendicular to each other so that the tray is placed horizontally on the shelf.

[0011] Optionally, the shelf is slidably connected to the extension plate. The horizontal position of the tray can be adjusted by sliding the shelf, and trays of other sizes can also be replaced.

[0012] Optionally, one of the side panels is provided with a handle. This allows for easy removal of the tray via the handle for cleaning or recovery of the lubricating oil.

[0013] Optionally, the side plate has an overflow port, and an overflow cavity is connected to the overflow port, with the overflow cavity located below the bottom plate. This is to increase the oil collection capacity and prevent oil from overflowing and dripping outside the tray.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom edge of the overflow port is flush with the upper surface of the base plate, and the upper surface of the base plate has a slope. This ensures that all dripping lubricating oil converges into the overflow port and flows into the overflow cavity, reducing secondary contamination caused by potential oil overflow when the pallet is moved for oil transfer.

[0015] Optionally, the tray has a downward recess in the space between the two storage plates to form a liquid storage cavity. This serves two purposes: firstly, to increase the amount of oil that can be collected; and secondly, to allow dripping lubricating oil to accumulate in the liquid storage cavity, thus reducing the risk of secondary contamination caused by oil spillage when the tray is moved for oil transfer.

[0016] Optionally, the bottom surface of the receiving cavity is lined with a layer of oil-absorbing cotton or oil-absorbing paper. The oil-absorbing cotton or paper completely absorbs the dripping lubricating oil, and by simply replacing the cotton or paper, the time and cost of transferring and cleaning the pallet can be reduced.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention features a detachable tray and bracket. Vertical mounting holes are provided on the mounting plate, and the bracket is secured to the packaging machine body with screws. The tray is placed between the storage plates, and the height of the bracket and tray is adjusted to ensure the relative height of the lubricating oil dripping is appropriate, reducing oil splashing. The tray, positioned above the barcode reader, catches lubricating oil dripping from the cigarette-making equipment, preventing it from dripping onto the barcode reader. By using a detachable tray above the barcode reader, no major modifications to the cigarette-making equipment are required, and the need for adjustments to the equipment due to changes in the barcode reader's installation location is avoided.

Therefore, the terms used to describe the positional relationship in the figure are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a detachable oil receiving tray, comprising: a tray 1 for receiving lubricating oil dripping from a cigarette-making device, the tray 1 including a receiving cavity structure with a top opening formed by side plates 11 and a bottom plate 12; a bracket 2 for detachably connecting the tray 1 to the cigarette-making device so that the tray 1 is positioned above the barcode reader; the bracket 2 includes two horizontally spaced shelf plates 21, with limiting baffles 22 provided on the outer edges of the shelf plates 21. A gap is provided between the two shelf plates 21 to facilitate the removal of the tray 1 through the gap.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bracket 2 includes a mounting plate 23, on which two vertically arranged mounting holes 24 are provided. The mounting holes 24 allow for easy adjustment of the height of the bracket 2 and the tray 1, thereby reducing the relative height of the lubricating oil dripping and minimizing oil splashing pollution caused by the lubricating oil dripping.

[0029] In this embodiment, one side of the mounting plate 23 extends vertically to form an extension plate 25. The placement plate 21 and the extension plate 25 are arranged perpendicularly to each other, so that the tray 1 is placed horizontally on the placement plate 21. The placement plate 21 and the extension plate 25 are slidably connected. By sliding the placement plate, the horizontal position of the tray can be adjusted to enhance the flexibility of the oil receiving tray installation. For example, a groove is provided on the extension plate 25, and a slider is provided at the end of the placement plate 21 corresponding to the groove to realize the slidable connection between the placement plate 21 and the extension plate 25. The slider and the groove can be set to L-shape to prevent the slider from falling out.

[0030] In this embodiment, a handle 13 is provided on one of the side plates 11. When a large amount of lubricating oil accumulates in the tray 1, the tray 1 can be lifted up through the handle 13 for cleaning and recycling.

[0031] In this embodiment, to further reduce splashing caused by lubricating oil dripping, a layer of oil-absorbing cotton or paper is laid on the bottom surface of the receiving cavity. The surface of the oil-absorbing cotton or paper is mostly microporous, which can quickly absorb the dripping lubricating oil and reduce the flow and rebound of oil droplets on the surface. When the thickness of the oil-absorbing cotton or paper is relatively thick, the oil-absorbing cotton or paper can completely absorb the dripping lubricating oil. The oil-absorbing cotton or paper can be directly replaced, thereby reducing the time cost of transferring and cleaning the tray.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the tray 1 is recessed downwards in the space between the two storage plates 21 to form a liquid storage cavity, thereby increasing the oil collection capacity. Dripping lubricating oil accumulates in the liquid storage cavity, reducing the risk of secondary contamination from potential oil spillage when the tray 1 is moved for oil transfer.

[0033] In some other embodiments, the side plate 11 with the handle 13 has an overflow port, and an overflow cavity is connected to the overflow port. The overflow cavity is located below the base plate 12, and its width is smaller than the gap between the two storage plates 21. This is also used to increase the oil receiving capacity and prevent oil in the tray from overflowing and dripping outside the tray. To prevent lubricating oil from accumulating on the base plate 12, the bottom edge of the overflow port can be flush with the upper surface of the base plate 12. At the same time, the upper surface of the base plate 12 has a slope, so that all the dripping lubricating oil converges into the overflow port and flows into the overflow cavity. With this configuration, lubricating oil does not accumulate on the base plate 12. When the tray 1 is moved for oil transfer, only the height of one side of the overflow port needs to be maintained to prevent secondary pollution caused by possible oil overflow. At the same time, since lubricating oil does not accumulate on the base plate 12, the subsequent dripping lubricating oil will not splash up the lubricating oil that has already dripped and accumulated, thereby reducing oil splash pollution caused by lubricating oil dripping.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0035] Before use, the oil receiving tray of this utility model has two vertically arranged mounting holes 24 on the mounting plate 23. The bracket 2 is fixed to the main body of the packaging machine with screws. The tray 1 is placed between the placement plates 21. The height of the bracket 2 and the tray 1 is adjusted so that the relative height of the lubricating oil dripping is at a suitable height. The tray 1 is located above the barcode reader and is used to receive the lubricating oil dripping from the cigarette equipment to prevent the lubricating oil from dripping onto the barcode reader.

[0036] During use, an oil-absorbing cotton or paper can be laid on the bottom of the receiving cavity to completely absorb the dripping lubricating oil. The oil-absorbing cotton or paper can be directly replaced, thereby reducing the time cost of transporting and cleaning the tray. At the same time, the oil-absorbing cotton or paper can also provide a buffer for the dripping lubricating oil and reduce the phenomenon of lubricating oil splashing.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model. Technologies, shapes, and structural parts not described in detail in this utility model are all known technologies.
