[0030] According to a first aspect of this utility model, a flipping device for transporting a complete set of cartons is provided, such as... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the tilting device for transporting the entire carton is used to tilt the entire carton 4. The tilting device for transporting the entire carton includes a buffer section 1 and a tilting section 2.

[0031] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 7This section describes the detailed structure of the buffer section 1 and the flipping section 2 of the entire carton transport flipping device.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the buffer section 1 is used for storing the bar box 4, and the flipping section 2 is used to drive the buffer section 1 to flip, thereby driving the bar box 4 located inside the buffer section 1 to flip.

[0033] Specifically, the buffer unit 1 includes a buffer frame 101 and a buffer frame 102. The buffer frame 102 is disposed on the buffer frame 101. The buffer frame 101 and the buffer frame 102 are two components, which are connected together by bolts. The buffer frame 102 can be made of low-friction stainless steel.

[0034] Furthermore, the flipping part 2 includes a driving component and a connecting component. The driving component is connected to the buffer part 1 via the connecting component, and the connecting component is driven by the driving component to achieve rotation. Figure 4 As shown, the connecting assembly may include a fixed end plate 201 and a connecting shaft 202. The fixed end plate 201 extends outward from one end of the buffer frame 101 to form a fixed portion for the connecting shaft 202 to pass through. The connecting shaft 202 passes through the fixed end plate 201 and is connected to the drive assembly. The drive assembly drives the connecting shaft 202 to rotate, thereby causing the buffer section 1 to flip.

[0035] This carton transport tilting device, through the cooperation of buffer unit 1 and tilting unit 2, enables automated tilting of the entire carton assembly. The cooperation of buffer frame 101 and buffer frame 102 ensures that the entire carton assembly is unaffected by external forces during tilting, preventing scratches. The connection and driven components work together to solve the problems of low efficiency, low automation, and low production efficiency associated with manual tilting in existing technologies. This carton transport tilting device has a compact overall structure, is easy to assemble and use, and its rotation is stable and reliable. It enables smooth tilting and transport of the entire carton assembly, minimizing product damage. It meets the needs of automated production lines while ensuring efficient automated production and reducing the difficulty of carton transport.

[0036] Preferably, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting assembly may include a guide shaft support 203 and a bearing housing 204. Both ends of the connecting shaft 202 are rotatably disposed on the guide shaft support 203 and the bearing housing 204, which are respectively disposed on both ends of the buffer frame 101. Bearings may be built into the guide shaft support 203 and the bearing housing 204, and the bearings are rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 202.

[0037] Preferably, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the drive assembly may include a drive motor 205, a motor support 206, a connecting flange 207, and a belt drive assembly 208. The drive motor 205 is connected to the connecting flange 207 via the belt drive assembly 208. The connecting flange 207 is disposed on the motor support 206 and is connected to the guide shaft support 203. The drive motor 205 may be, for example, a commonly used adjustable-speed motor. The output end of the drive motor 205 is connected to the connecting flange 207 located within the motor support 206 via the belt drive assembly 208. The guide shaft support 203 is connected to the connecting flange 207. Thus, the output end of the drive motor 205 drives the connecting flange 207 via the belt, thereby driving the guide shaft support 203 and the connecting shaft 202 to rotate.

[0038] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the buffer frame 101 may include a connecting base plate 103 and a plurality of support plates 104 spaced apart from each other. The plurality of support plates 104 are connected by the connecting base plate 103, and the support plates 104 form U-shaped grooves for accommodating the buffer frame 102. To ensure sufficient fabrication, the plurality of support plates 104 are spaced apart from each other and vertically arranged. The plurality of support plates 104 are connected by the connecting base plate 103, and the connection method may be, for example, welding or using fastening bolts. Each support plate 104 has a fixed end plate 201 at its end, and the connecting shaft 202 passes through these fixed end plates 201 and is connected and positioned using a fixing seat.

[0039] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the buffer frame 101 may further include blocking plates 105 disposed at both ends of the connecting base plate 103. Both the buffer frame 101 and the buffer frame 102 have openings at both ends to facilitate the subsequent pushing of the strip box 4 located inside the buffer frame 102. Therefore, in order to ensure that the strip box 4 can be stably accommodated inside the buffer frame 102, blocking plates 105 are provided at both ends of the buffer frame 101. When the buffer frame 101 is flipped, the blocking plates 105 do not flip with the buffer frame 101.

[0040] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the buffer frame 102 is formed as a U-shaped through-slot structure and can cooperate with the buffer frame 101. The U-shaped through-slot structure facilitates the placement of the strip box 4.

[0041] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a tilting plate 106 is provided on the top of the buffer frame 102. The tilting plate 106 facilitates the placement of the strip box 4.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the entire carton transport flipping device further includes a docking part 3, and the buffer part 1 can be driven by the flipping part 2 from a horizontal receiving state (such as...). Figure 6 As shown, at this time, cache frame 101 and cache box 102 are in a horizontal position) and then switched to a vertically flipped state (as shown). Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the cache frame 101 and the cache box 102 are in a vertical flipped position and are docked with the docking part 3.

[0043] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the docking part 3 may include a slide rail 301 and a push plate 302. The push plate 302 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 301, and the sliding form is the cooperation of a slider and a slide rail. When the buffer part 1 is in a vertically flipped state, the push plate 302 pushes the bar box 4 inside the buffer frame 102. The push plate 302 can push the flipped bar box 4 to the next process.

[0044] This carton-transferring tilting device, through the cooperation of the buffer unit and the tilting unit, enables the automated tilting of the entire carton assembly. The buffer frame and buffer box work together to ensure that the entire carton assembly is not affected by external forces during tilting, preventing scratches. The connection components and driven components work together to solve the problems of low efficiency, low automation, and low production efficiency in existing manual tilting techniques. This carton-transferring tilting device has a compact overall structure, is easy to assemble and use, and its rotation is stable and reliable. It enables smooth tilting and transport of the entire carton assembly, minimizing damage to the product. It meets the needs of automated production lines, ensuring efficient automated production while reducing the difficulty of carton transportation.

[0045] Furthermore, according to a second aspect of this utility model, a cigarette production line is provided, which includes the tilting device for transporting entire cartons as described above.
