Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage device technology, and in particular to a storage device and an integrated collection and rejection machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette production process, in order to ensure product quality, rejection devices are usually used to remove unqualified products from the rolling and packaging processes. The rejected products need to be received and stored in special storage devices for subsequent processing.

[0003] Currently, when too many non-conforming products are rejected, they tend to accumulate in the storage device. Products rejected by the rejection device have nowhere to be stored, leading to device shutdowns. In practice, operators cannot directly assess the product accumulation in the storage device, requiring frequent cleaning to avoid shutdowns. Secondly, products are prone to collisions during rejection and storage, causing secondary damage and affecting subsequent processing or reuse. Furthermore, product handling is inconvenient, requiring additional handling tools or manual labor, placing a heavy burden on personnel.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for storage devices and integrated collection and rejection systems to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a storage device that can directly determine the product stacking status, prevent products from being bumped or damaged during the removal and storage process, facilitate subsequent product processing and reuse, reduce the burden of manual handling, significantly improve work efficiency, and ensure the continuity of the product production process.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A storage device for receiving products rejected by the rejection device, the storage device comprising:

[0008] The box body has a receiving cavity for holding products. One end of the receiving cavity has a first opening that can be connected to the feeding port of the rejection device.

[0009] A buffer pad is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity;

[0010] The auxiliary wheel is connected to the housing and provides movement support for the housing;

[0011] The observation window has a second opening on the side wall of the housing. The observation window is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing and can be opened or closed. When the second opening is opened, the second opening is configured as a product retrieval port. When the second opening is closed, the observation window is used to observe the product status inside the accommodating cavity.

[0012] As an alternative storage device, the storage device also includes a divider disposed within the receiving cavity and detachably connected to the housing. The divider is configured to divide the receiving cavity into multiple independent sub-receiving cavities, each of which can be connected to a multiple discharge ports in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0013] As an alternative storage device, the inner wall of the enclosure is provided with a slot, into which the partition can be inserted and mated.

[0014] As an alternative storage device, the storage device also includes a handle disposed on the outer wall of the housing. The handle is rotatable relative to the housing between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the handle is perpendicular to the outer wall of the housing and can be pulled to move the housing. In the second position, the handle is parallel to and attached to the outer wall of the housing for storage.

[0015] As an alternative to the storage device, the handle surface is provided with anti-slip texture; or, the handle cover is provided with an anti-slip sleeve.

[0016] As an alternative to the storage device, the first opening edge of the receiving cavity is provided with a seal to seal the first opening with the discharge port.

[0017] As an alternative to the storage device, the storage device also includes a pressure sensing element disposed within the accommodating cavity, the pressure sensing element being configured to detect the weight of the product within the accommodating cavity.

[0018] As an alternative to the storage device, the cushioning pad is made of one or more combinations of rubber, silicone, or foam.

[0019] As an alternative to the storage device, the cushioning pad is bonded to the inner wall of the receiving cavity by adhesive; or, the cushioning pad is bonded to the inner wall of the receiving cavity by fasteners.

[0020] Another objective of this invention is to provide an integrated rejection and collection machine. By using the aforementioned storage device, rejection and collection can be integrated, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing product loss.

[0021] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0022] The rejection and collection integrated machine includes a rejection device and the aforementioned storage device. The rejection device is capable of rejecting the product, which is output from the discharge port of the rejection device. The discharge port can connect with the first opening of the storage device so that the receiving cavity of the storage device can receive the product.

[0023] Beneficial effects:

[0024] This invention provides a storage device. During operation, the housing connects to the discharge port of a rejection device through a first opening, receiving products rejected by the rejection device. The products are temporarily stored in a receiving cavity. A buffer pad on the inner wall of the receiving cavity reduces the impact of the falling products, preventing damage. Rotating the observation window opens a second opening, which can be used as a product retrieval port. Rotating the observation window closes the second opening, allowing observation of the product status within the receiving cavity. When all products in the storage device need to be transferred, the first opening disconnects from the discharge port, and auxiliary wheels drive the housing to move it to the processing area. During product reception, operators can directly assess the product accumulation within the storage device, avoiding frequent cleaning. Furthermore, products are less prone to collisions during rejection and storage, facilitating subsequent processing and reuse. When products need to be transferred, no additional handling tools are required, reducing manual handling burden, significantly improving work efficiency, and ensuring the continuity of the product production process.

[0034] This embodiment discloses a storage device and a rejection and collection integrated machine, such as Figure 1 The integrated rejection and collection machine includes a rejection device (not shown) and a storage device as described in this embodiment. The rejection device can reject products, which are then output from the discharge port of the rejection device. This achieves integrated rejection and storage operations, reducing product transfer losses, improving collection efficiency, and featuring a compact structure and precise docking, ensuring a smooth and orderly product collection process and reducing manual intervention costs. The rejection device is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] like Figures 1-2As shown, the storage device disclosed in this embodiment is used to receive products rejected by the rejection device. It includes a housing 1, a buffer pad 2, auxiliary wheels 3, and an observation window 4. The housing 1 has a receiving cavity 11 for holding products. One end of the receiving cavity 11 has a first opening 110, which can be connected to the discharge port of the rejection device so that the receiving cavity 11 can receive products. The buffer pad 2 is disposed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. The auxiliary wheels 3 are connected to the housing 1 and can provide movement support for the housing 1. A second opening is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. The observation window 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 1 and can open or close the second opening. When the second opening is open, the second opening is configured as a product retrieval port. When the second opening is closed, the observation window 4 is used to observe the product status in the receiving cavity 11.

[0036] In operation, the storage device disclosed in this embodiment connects the housing 1 to the discharge port of the rejection device through the first opening 110, receiving products rejected by the rejection device. The products are temporarily stored in the receiving cavity 11. A buffer pad 2 on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 reduces the impact of the falling products, preventing damage. Rotating the observation window 4 opens the second opening, which can be used as a product retrieval port. Rotating the observation window 4 closes the second opening, allowing observation of the product status within the receiving cavity 11. When all products in the storage device need to be transferred, the first opening 110 disconnects from the discharge port, and the auxiliary wheels 3 drive the housing 1 to move and transport it to the processing area. During product reception, operators can directly assess the product accumulation within the storage device, avoiding frequent cleaning. Furthermore, products are less prone to collisions during rejection and storage, facilitating subsequent processing and reuse. When products need to be transferred, no additional handling tools are required, reducing manual handling burden, significantly improving work efficiency, and ensuring the continuity of the product production process.

[0037] The rejection and collection integrated machine disclosed in this embodiment includes a rejection device and the aforementioned storage device. The discharge port of the rejection device is connected to the first opening 110 of the housing 1 of the storage device. The receiving cavity 11 of the housing 1 can accurately receive the rejected products. The buffer pad 2 of the storage device can reduce product damage. The auxiliary wheel 3 facilitates the movement of the housing 1. The observation window 4 facilitates viewing and retrieving products. This realizes the integration of rejection and collection, improves production efficiency, and reduces product loss.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-2 As shown, the opening edge of the first opening 110 is an irregular edge with bends. The irregular edge with bends fits tightly with the discharge port to form a stable docking state, which effectively avoids spillage during product transportation and prevents the product from falling and hitting the box 1, causing the first opening 110 and the discharge port to misalign. This improves the sealing and compatibility of the docking and ensures the smoothness and efficiency of the discharge process.

[0039] It is worth noting that the buffer pad 2 is set on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11, that is, the buffer pad 2 is set on the side wall and bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11. It can buffer the collision and impact of the product in the accommodating cavity 11 in all directions, avoid the product from direct contact with the cavity wall and cause damage, and improve the safety of the product during the falling and storage process.

[0040] In this embodiment, the observation window 4 is also provided with an operating part 41. The operating part 41 has a raised or recessed structure. The operator can pull the observation window 4 through the operating part 41 to make the observation window 4 rotate to the outside of the box 1 and open the second opening. The operating part 41 makes it easy for the operator to apply force, improves the convenience of operation, and can be easily operated without additional tools.

[0041] In this embodiment, one end of the observation window 4 is hinged to the side wall of the housing 1, allowing the observation window 4 to rotate flexibly around the hinge axis and easily open or close the second opening. This hinge method has a simple structure and a firm connection, ensuring that the observation window 4 rotates smoothly and can accurately control the opening and closing angle, making it convenient for operators to adjust as needed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the box 1 is a hollow cuboid structure with an open top. Four auxiliary wheels 3 are positioned at the four corners of the bottom plate of the box 1, providing better support and allowing for smoother and more stable movement. This reduces resistance and makes it easier for operators to push the box 1, enhancing its convenience and flexibility during use. In other embodiments, the number of auxiliary wheels 3 may be six, eight, or other numbers; no specific limitation is made here.

[0043] In this embodiment, the auxiliary wheel 3 is a swivel wheel, which allows the box 1 to turn freely 360 degrees when moving. It can flexibly change the movement trajectory without adjusting the direction of the box 1, making the operation of the box 1 more convenient and flexible, and effectively improving the convenience and adaptability of movement.

[0044] In other embodiments, the auxiliary wheel 3 can be replaced by a drive wheel. The drive wheel is connected to the housing 1 and is used to drive the housing 1 to move. The drive wheel can be an integrated hub motor. The drive wheel can actively drive the housing 1 to move, and can achieve autonomous movement without human push. The integrated hub motor of the drive wheel can directly transmit power to the wheel, reduce energy loss, improve driving efficiency, and make the movement of the housing 1 more efficient.

[0045] like Figure 2As shown, the storage device also includes a separator 5, which is disposed within the receiving cavity 11 and detachably connected to the housing 1. The separator 5 divides the receiving cavity 11 into multiple independent sub-receiving cavities 111, each of which can be connected to multiple discharge ports. These sub-receiving cavities 111 can be connected to the multiple discharge ports of the multiple rejecting product channels of the rejecting device, enabling the classified storage of different products. The separator 5 can be disassembled to flexibly adjust the receiving space, adapting to diverse product collection needs, resulting in a flexible structure and efficient classification.

[0046] In this embodiment, a partition 5 is provided within the accommodating cavity 11 to divide the accommodating cavity 11 into two independent sub-accommodating cavities 111. In other embodiments, the number of partitions 5 may also be two, correspondingly dividing the accommodating cavity 11 into three independent sub-accommodating cavities 111. The number of partitions 5 is not specifically limited here.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a slot, and the partition 5 can be inserted into the slot. The insertion structure of the partition 5 into the slot is stable and efficient to install and disassemble, making it convenient to install and disassemble the partition 5. It is easy to quickly change the partitioning method of the accommodating cavity 11 according to the needs, flexibly adjust the number and size of the sub-accommodating cavities 111, adapt to the storage needs of different product categories, and improve the flexibility of the storage device.

[0048] In this embodiment, the partition 5 is a plate-shaped structure, which can efficiently divide the accommodating cavity 11 with its flat plate surface, making the boundaries of each sub-accommodating cavity 111 clear, which is convenient for different products to be classified and stored. The plate-shaped partition 5 is tightly inserted into the slot of the box body 1, which can stably maintain the separation state. Moreover, the plate material is simple to process, low in cost, and reliable in strength.

[0049] In this embodiment, buffer pads 2 are also provided on both sides of the plate-shaped separator 5 to prevent products from colliding with the separator 5 and causing damage, buffer the direct impact between the products and the separator 5, and at the same time, make the inner wall of the sub-accommodating cavity 111 fully covered for buffer protection, thereby improving the safety of the products in each sub-accommodating cavity 111 during classified storage.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the storage device also includes a handle 6, which is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 1. The handle 6 can rotate relative to the housing 1 between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the handle 6 is perpendicular to the outer wall of the housing 1 and can be pulled to move the housing 1. In the second position, the handle 6 is parallel to and attached to the outer wall of the housing 1 for storage. This design satisfies the need for gripping during transport and can also be attached to the housing 1 to reduce space occupation when not in use, offering flexible operation and balancing portability and storage convenience.

[0051] In this embodiment, handles 6 are provided on the outer walls of opposite sides of the box 1. When carrying, lifting or pushing the box 1, it is convenient for the operator to grip and exert force from different directions, which effectively improves the convenience of operation. At the same time, the symmetrical design also makes the force on the box 1 more balanced during movement, which enhances the stability of use.

[0052] In other embodiments, the number of handles 6 can be three, four, five, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0053] In this embodiment, the surface of the handle 6 is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture can increase the friction when the operator grips it, preventing the box 1 from slipping and causing it to fall out of hand, thus improving the safety and stability during the handling process.

[0054] In other embodiments, the handle 6 is covered with an anti-slip sleeve. The anti-slip sleeve increases grip friction through its anti-slip properties, preventing slippage during handling. It also provides cushioning for the hand, reducing grip fatigue. Furthermore, the anti-slip sleeve is replaceable to adapt to different usage scenarios, effectively improving handling safety and making the movement of the box 1 more convenient.

[0055] Optionally, the anti-slip sleeve may be made of rubber, silicone, plastic, or fabric with anti-slip texture, etc., without specific limitations.

[0056] In this embodiment, a sealing element is provided at the edge of the first opening 110 of the receiving cavity 11 to ensure a sealed connection between the first opening 110 and the discharge port. This prevents internal dust generated during product collection from leaking out or external dust and foreign objects from entering, ensuring that both the internal environment of the receiving cavity 11 and the external environment of the storage device remain clean. It also prevents products from getting stuck due to gaps when falling into the receiving cavity 11, improving the sealing and reliability of the connection and ensuring a smooth product removal process.

[0057] Optionally, the seal can be made of materials such as rubber, silicone, or sponge, which have good flexibility and sealing properties, and can closely fit the contact surface between the first opening 110 and the discharge port to effectively block dust and foreign objects. No specific limitations are made here.

[0058] In this embodiment, the storage device also includes a pressure detection element disposed within the accommodating cavity 11. The pressure detection element is used to detect the weight of the product within the accommodating cavity 11. The pressure detection element can detect the weight of the product within the accommodating cavity 11 in real time, allowing operators to intuitively understand the product storage volume and promptly perform transfer or emptying operations, avoiding product accumulation and damage due to over-storage, while also providing data support for product management in the production process.

[0059] In this embodiment, the pressure detection element is a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor can convert pressure signals into electrical signals and can detect and monitor pressure by sensing pressure changes. When the weight of the product in the accommodating cavity 11 is greater than or equal to the preset pressure value, the pressure sensor can trigger an early warning signal through the circuit system, such as an audible and visual alarm signal. The operator can control the rejection device to stop operating in a timely manner according to the early warning signal.

[0060] In this embodiment, the cushioning pad 2 is made of one or more combinations of rubber, silicone, or foam plastic. By utilizing the elasticity of rubber or silicone to cushion vibrations and the porous structure of foam plastic to absorb energy, impact damage to rejected products can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the storage device and the safety of product storage.

[0061] Optionally, the cushioning pad 2 can be made of a single material, such as rubber, silicone, or foam plastic. Utilizing the high elasticity of rubber, the weather resistance of silicone, or the lightweight, porous structure of foam plastic, it can effectively absorb instantaneous impact energy, reducing collision damage to the product during transportation or in vibrating environments. Furthermore, using a single material reduces costs and simplifies the manufacturing process. The cushioning pad 2 can also employ a double-layer structure, combining rubber and silicone, rubber and foam plastic, or silicone and foam plastic. The two layers work synergistically to enhance shock absorption while also meeting the requirements of weather resistance and lightweight design. Alternatively, the cushioning pad 2 can be a triple-layer structure, formed by combining rubber, silicone, and foam plastic. The three layers work synergistically to provide cushioning, shock absorption, and anti-aging properties, effectively improving the multi-dimensional protection of the product. No specific limitations are specified here.

[0062] In this embodiment, the buffer pad 2 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11 by adhesive bonding. Adhesive bonding is simple and convenient, and can quickly fit inner walls of different shapes. Adhesive bonding can avoid damage to the structure of the box 1 caused by drilling and other operations. At the same time, it facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the buffer pad 2 in the future, ensuring that the product in the accommodating cavity 11 always receives effective buffer protection.

[0063] In other embodiments, the buffer pad 2 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11 by fasteners. The fastener connection is stable and reliable, able to withstand large impacts and vibrations without falling off, and the detachable nature of the fasteners facilitates the periodic inspection and replacement of the buffer pad 2. At the same time, the installation position of the buffer pad 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to the space of the accommodating cavity 11, thereby improving the reliability of protection.

[0064] 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.
