Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tobacco packaging, and more particularly to a stepped tobacco strip turning device for a ZB416 packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco packaging industry, with the improvement of production efficiency, packaging equipment is developing towards high speed. Medium-speed packaging machines (such as the ZB25 and ZB45 models) have rated speeds exceeding 35 packs per minute, while high-speed packaging machines (such as the ZB47 and ZB416 models) have rated speeds exceeding 50 packs per minute. After the tobacco packs are formed, their orientation needs to be adjusted by a flipping device to meet the requirements of subsequent packaging processes. However, existing flipping technologies have significant shortcomings in adaptability, stability, and specification compatibility under high-speed operation, making it difficult to match the production demands of high-speed packaging machines.

[0003] In existing technologies, cigarette pack turning devices mainly include three types: sequential pushing turning devices, high-pressure air blowing turning devices, and spiral conveyor turning devices. Among them, the sequential pushing turning device turns the cigarette pack by pushing the previous cigarette pack to a 45-degree tilt position, but it is only suitable for low-speed equipment and cannot complete the turning action when the speed exceeds 30 packs / minute. The high-pressure air blowing turning device relies on high-pressure air to blow the cigarette pack turning, but air pressure fluctuations can easily lead to insufficient turning power or directional deviation, and the failure rate increases significantly under high-speed conditions. Although the spiral conveyor turning device can adapt to high-speed packaging, its structure is complex, its cost is high, and it is prone to failure due to cigarette pack blockage.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0037] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0038] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore, repeated descriptions of them will be omitted.

[0039] This example embodiment first provides a stepped cigarette strip turning device for a ZB416 packaging machine. (Reference) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the stepped cigarette bar turning device for the ZB416 packaging machine includes a support assembly 100, a control assembly 200, and a turning assembly 300. The support assembly 100 has a sliding plate 120 on one side, and its bottom is fixed to the bridge at the cigarette bar outlet of the packaging machine. The turning assembly 300 is located on one side of the sliding plate 120, and its bottom is rotatably mounted on the support assembly 100. The control assembly 200 is located on the other side of the support assembly 100, and its output end is connected to the turning assembly 300, used to drive the turning assembly 300 to turn and reset to a preset angle upon startup.

[0040] Through the technical solution of this application, the sliding plate 120 of the support component 100 can provide a stable sliding guide path for the cigarette sticks, and the fixed connection between its bottom and the bridge frame ensures that the device maintains structural stability during high-speed operation; the flipping component 300 is rotatably connected to the support component 100 through the rotating rod 320, realizing the precise swing of the flipping plate 310 within a preset angle. With the bottom flipping seat 330 blocking and limiting the cigarette sticks, the cigarette sticks can be kept in a stable posture during the flipping process; the pneumatic push rod 210 of the control component 200 and the swinging component 220 form a linkage drive structure. When a start signal is received, the extension and retraction of the push rod 210 drives the swinging component 220 to drive the rotating rod 320 to rotate, so that the flipping plate 310 completes the flipping at a preset angle and automatically resets, matching the production rhythm of high-speed packaging machines of less than 70 pieces / minute, avoiding the flipping delay caused by insufficient mechanical thrust or air pressure fluctuations, and eliminating the risk of cigarette stick blockage under high-speed conditions from the structural design level.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the support assembly 100 includes a first support plate 110 and a slide plate 120; the slide plate 120 is fixedly connected to one side of the first support plate 110, and the other side of the first support plate 110 has a mounting base plate for mounting the control assembly 200.

[0042] It should be noted that the mounting base plate and the first support plate 110 are combined to form an L-shaped plate.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the flipping assembly 300 includes a flipping plate 310 and a rotating rod 320; the rotating rod 320 is rotatably mounted on the first support plate 110, the bottom of the flipping plate 310 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 320, and the rotating rod 320 is rotatably connected to the first support plate 110.

[0044] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the flip plate 310 has a clamping part. After the rotating rod 320 passes through the clamping part, the clamping part is clamped by bolts to achieve a fixed connection. At the same time, the initial angle of the flip plate 310 is the same as the angle of the slide plate 120.

[0045] Furthermore, the bottom of the flip plate 310 has a flip seat 330 for blocking and limiting the cigarette bar.

[0046] It should be noted that the end of the flip plate 310 away from the flip plate 310 has a baffle to prevent the cigarette stick from falling out accidentally when it slips. At the same time, it will not prevent the cigarette pack from falling out when the flip plate 310 is flipped.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the control component 200 includes a push rod 210 and a swing member 220; one end of the swing member 220 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 320, the push rod 210 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate, and its output end is rotatably connected to the other end of the swing member 220.

[0048] It is understandable that the push rod 210, through back and forth pushing and pulling, causes the swing member 220 to move in an arc around the end that is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 320, thereby driving the rotating rod 320 to rotate at a preset angle.

[0049] It should be noted that the push rod 210 is fixed to the first support plate 110 by the first fixing member 211, and its angle can be adjusted. The angle of rotation can be controlled by adjusting the angle of the push rod 210, the stroke of the push rod 210 and the length of the swing member 220.

[0050] Furthermore, the swinging member 220 includes a rotating block 221 and a swinging block 222. One end of the swinging block 222 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 320, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating block 221. The other end of the rotating block 221 is fixedly connected to the output end of the push rod 210.

[0051] Optionally, the push rod 210 is a pneumatic actuation mechanism, which can be composed of an air source, air circuit, cylinder, air rod, solenoid valve, time relay, and pressure regulating valve. The time relay receives a start electrical signal, drives the solenoid valve to switch the directional valve, and controls the switching time. The air circuit uses a 6mm diameter air pipe. Two pressure regulating valves are installed at the two air inlets of the cylinder to adjust the force of the cylinder rod movement, thereby achieving the required force for the flipping action. Gas is output from the air source and input to the front or rear end of the cylinder through the air circuit and solenoid valve to achieve the forward and backward movement of the air rod.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the stepped cigarette strip turning device for the ZB416 packaging machine further includes: a buffer detection component 400, used to activate the control component 200 when the cigarette strip is detected to have slipped onto the turning component 300.

[0053] Understandably, when the buffer detection component 400 detects that the cigarette stick has fallen into place, it sends a start electrical signal to the time relay, drives the solenoid valve to switch the reversing valve, and controls the switching time, thereby driving the flip plate 310 to flip and reset according to the preset angle.

[0054] Furthermore, the buffer detection assembly 400 includes a second support plate 410, a third support plate 420, and a detector; the second support plate 410 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 110, the detector is fixedly connected to the second support plate 410 through the third support plate 420, the flip plate 310 has a through groove, and the detector is located below the through groove.

[0055] It is understandable that the detector is a photoelectric sensor, which can be a through-beam photoelectric sensor, where the receiver generates an electrical signal due to the interruption of the light signal when the cigarette stick blocks the light beam, or it can be a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor, which triggers the output electrical signal by detecting changes in the light signal reflected by the cigarette stick, without the need for through-beam installation; the second support plate 410 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 110 through the second fastener 430.

[0056] Optionally, the buffer detection component 400 further includes a buffer spring, which is fixedly mounted on the second support plate 410 and located below the flip plate 310.

[0057] Understandably, the buffer spring can be installed in the mounting hole of the second support plate 410 through its own threads and nuts, and its height can be adjusted according to the actual required size, so as to buffer when the flip plate returns to the position.
