Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for cigarette production, and in particular to a collection device for plastic packaging of tobacco materials. Background Technology
[0002] Before tobacco materials enter the production line, the plastic outer packaging needs to be cut and peeled off by a cutting machine. Then, a robotic arm transfers the peeled plastic outer packaging to the top of the collection box on the side of the demolding machine. After the robotic arm releases the plastic outer packaging, the plastic outer packaging falls into the collection box.
[0003] However, when the plastic bags stored in the collection box are bent and folded, the gaps between the plastic bags are large, which takes up a lot of space. As a result, the collection box can only hold a small number of plastic bags, and staff need to clean it frequently. Otherwise, the plastic bags that overflow the collection box will scatter everywhere and be difficult to deal with. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a collection device for plastic outer packaging of tobacco materials, which solves the problem in the prior art that the gaps between the plastic outer packaging in the collection frame are large, resulting in a reduction in the storage capacity of the collection frame.
[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:
[0006] A device for collecting plastic packaging materials for tobacco products includes a collection frame, a blocking mechanism, an adjusting mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The collection frame has a blocking area and a non-blocking area above it. The blocking area is located directly above the collection frame. The blocking mechanism is positioned above the collection frame. The adjusting mechanism is kinetically connected to the blocking mechanism and is used to switch the blocking mechanism between the blocking area and the non-blocking area. The lifting mechanism is positioned below the collection frame and is used to lift the collection frame. When the blocking mechanism is in the blocking area and the lifting mechanism lifts the collection frame, the blocking mechanism enters the collection frame and squeezes the plastic packaging material inside.
[0007] By setting up the above structure, controlling the lifting mechanism and the adjusting mechanism, the blocking mechanism is positioned in the blocking area. The lifting mechanism raises the collection frame, and the blocking mechanism enters the collection frame to squeeze the plastic packages inside the collection frame, reducing the gaps between the plastic packages in the collection frame so as to accommodate more plastic packages.
[0008] Furthermore, the blocking mechanism includes two identical blocking components, both of which are connected to the adjustment mechanism. The non-blocking area includes two storage areas, each corresponding to one of the two blocking components. The two storage areas are located on both sides of the blocking area. The adjustment mechanism is used to drive the blocking components to switch positions between the blocking area and the storage area.
[0009] By setting the above structure, the blocking mechanism is set as two blocking components with the same structure. When the blocking mechanism is located in the non-blocking area, the two blocking components are located in two storage areas respectively, and the blocking mechanism is arranged separately to avoid the blocking mechanism being located on one side and occupying a large space on that side.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a housing with an opening at the top, in which the collection frame and the lifting mechanism are both located. The plastic outer packaging falls into the collection frame through the opening. The side walls on both sides of the housing are provided with through slots, which are used as channels for the blocking component to switch positions between the blocking area and the storage area.
[0011] By setting up the above structure, the plastic package first falls into the shell, and the shell restricts the non-vertical displacement of the plastic package during its suspension period, thereby allowing as many plastic packages as possible to fall into the collection box.
[0012] Furthermore, the blocking assembly includes a mounting component and a baffle. The baffle is fixedly connected to the mounting component, and a gap is provided between the baffle and the mounting component for the collection frame to move. The mounting component is rotatably installed in the through groove of the housing. The adjusting mechanism is drivenly connected to the mounting component. The adjusting mechanism is used to drive the mounting component to rotate. When the blocking assembly rotates from the blocking area to the storage area, the baffle is vertically stored in the through groove.
[0013] By setting the above structure, the baffle can be vertically stored in the through slot, reducing the space occupied by the blocking mechanism when it is located in the non-blocking area.
[0014] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder and a lifting plate. The output shaft of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the lifting plate. The collection frame is placed on the lifting plate. Slide grooves are provided on both sides of the housing. Connecting blocks are fixedly provided on both sides of the lifting plate. The connecting blocks are slidably disposed in the slide grooves. Transmission plates are provided on both sides of the housing. The transmission plates are fixedly connected to the connecting blocks. The transmission plates are driven by the adjustment mechanism. When the lifting plate rises, the transmission plates drive the adjustment mechanism to drive the mounting component to rotate, causing the baffle to rotate from the storage area to the blocking area.
[0015] By setting up the above structure, there is no need to set up additional drive control for the adjustment mechanism. The lifting mechanism can synchronously drive the adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of the blocking mechanism.
[0016] Furthermore, the mounting component is rotatably mounted in the through groove via a torsion spring. The torsion spring is used to make the baffle tend to rotate away from the blocking area. The mounting component and the baffle are perpendicular to each other. When the baffle is in the storage area, the mounting component is in a horizontal state. The adjustment mechanism includes two adjustment plates that are slidably disposed on both sides of the housing along the height direction of the housing. When the adjustment plate is below the mounting component, a connecting member is provided between the transmission plate and the adjustment plate. The transmission plate drives the adjustment plate to move up and down through the connecting member. When the adjustment plate moves up, the adjustment plate presses the mounting component and drives the mounting component to rotate.
[0017] Furthermore, the transmission plate has a through hole, one end of the connector is fixedly connected to the adjustment plate, and the other end passes through the through hole. A spring is sleeved on the connector, one end of the spring is connected to the transmission plate, and the other end is connected to the adjustment plate. A limit block is provided above the adjustment plate in the housing, and the limit block is used to limit the maximum movement distance of the adjustment plate.
[0018] Furthermore, a sealing block is provided in the through groove. When the baffle is located in the storage area, the baffle and the sealing block cooperate to seal the through groove.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] 1. This utility model sets up a collection frame, a blocking mechanism, an adjusting mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. By controlling the operation of the lifting mechanism and the adjusting mechanism, the blocking mechanism is positioned in the blocking area. The lifting mechanism raises the collection frame, and the blocking mechanism enters the collection frame to squeeze the plastic packages inside the collection frame, thereby reducing the gaps between the plastic packages inside the collection frame so as to accommodate more plastic packages.
[0021] 2. This utility model sets up two blocking components with the same structure. When the blocking mechanism is located in the non-blocking area, the two blocking components are located in two storage areas respectively, so that the blocking mechanism is arranged separately and avoids the blocking mechanism being located on one side and occupying a large space on that side.
[0022] 3. By setting up a shell, the plastic outer package falls into the shell first. The shell restricts the non-vertical displacement of the plastic outer package during its suspension period, thereby allowing as many plastic outer packages as possible to fall into the collection box.
[0023] 4. By setting up mounting parts and baffles, this utility model enables the baffles to be vertically stored in the through groove, reducing the space occupied by the blocking mechanism when it is located in the non-blocking area. Attached Figure Description

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 terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a tobacco material plastic packaging collection device, comprising a collection frame 1, a blocking mechanism 2, an adjusting mechanism 3, and a lifting mechanism 4. The collection frame 1 has a blocking area and a non-blocking area above it. The blocking area is located directly above the collection frame 1. The blocking mechanism 2 is positioned above the collection frame 1. The adjusting mechanism 3 is connected to the blocking mechanism 2 and is used to switch the blocking mechanism 2 between the blocking area and the non-blocking area. The lifting mechanism 4 is positioned below the collection frame 1 and is used to lift the collection frame 1. When the blocking mechanism 2 is in the blocking area and the lifting mechanism 4 lifts the collection frame 1, the blocking mechanism 2 enters the collection frame 1 and squeezes the plastic packaging inside. By controlling the lifting mechanism 4 and the adjusting mechanism 3, the blocking mechanism 2 is positioned in the blocking area, the lifting mechanism 4 lifts the collection frame 1, and the blocking mechanism 2 enters the collection frame 1 to squeeze the plastic packaging inside, reducing the gaps between the plastic packaging within the collection frame 1 to accommodate more plastic packaging.
[0037] In this embodiment, the blocking mechanism 2 includes two identical blocking components 21, both of which are connected to the adjusting mechanism 3. The non-blocking area includes two storage areas, each corresponding to one of the two blocking components 21. The two storage areas are located on opposite sides of the blocking area. The adjusting mechanism 3 is used to switch the positions of the blocking components 21 between the blocking area and the storage area. In some other embodiments, only an integrated blocking mechanism 2 may be provided. In this embodiment, by setting the blocking mechanism 2 as two identical blocking components 21, when the blocking mechanism 2 is located in the non-blocking area, the two blocking components 21 are located in the two storage areas respectively, thus separating the blocking mechanism 2 and avoiding the blocking mechanism 2 from occupying a large space on one side.
[0038] In this embodiment, a housing 5 with an opening at the top is also included. The collection frame 1 and the lifting mechanism 4 are both disposed inside the housing 5. The plastic package falls into the collection frame 1 through the opening. Through slots 51 are provided on both sides of the housing 5. The through slots 51 are used as channels for the blocking component 21 to switch positions between the blocking area and the storage area. When the robotic arm releases the plastic package, the plastic package first falls into the housing 5. The housing 5 restricts the non-vertical displacement of the plastic package during its suspension period, thereby allowing as many plastic packages as possible to fall into the collection frame 1.
[0039] In this embodiment, the blocking component 21 includes a mounting member 211 and a baffle 212. The baffle 212 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 211, and a gap is provided between the baffle 212 and the mounting member 211 for the collection frame 1 to move. The mounting member 211 is rotatably mounted in the through groove 51 of the housing 5. The adjusting mechanism 3 is driven to rotate the mounting member 211. When the blocking component 21 rotates from the blocking area to the storage area, the baffle 212 is vertically stored in the through groove 51. In some other embodiments, the blocking component 21 can also be controlled to move horizontally by the adjusting mechanism 3 to achieve the position switching of the blocking component 21 between the blocking area and the storage area. In this embodiment, by rotatably mounting the mounting member 211 in the through groove 51 of the housing 5, the baffle 212 can be vertically stored in the through groove 51 by rotating the mounting member 211, reducing the space occupied by the blocking mechanism 2 when it is in the non-blocking area.
[0040] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a lifting cylinder 41 and a lifting plate 42. The output shaft of the lifting cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 42. The collection frame 1 is placed on the lifting plate 42. Slide grooves 52 are provided on both sides of the housing 5. Connecting blocks are fixedly provided on both sides of the lifting plate 42. The connecting blocks are slidably disposed in the slide grooves 52. Transmission plates 43 are provided on both sides of the housing 5. The transmission plates 43 are fixedly connected to the connecting blocks. The connecting blocks are used to fix the lifting plate 42 and the transmission plates 43. The transmission plates 43 are connected to the adjustment mechanism 3. When the lifting plate 42 rises, the transmission plates 43 drive the adjustment mechanism 3 to drive the mounting component 211 to rotate, so that the baffle 212 rotates from the storage area to the blocking area. In some other embodiments, an independent driving component can be directly provided for the adjustment mechanism 3. In this embodiment, by providing the lifting plate 42 and the transmission plate 43, there is no need to set an additional drive control for the adjustment mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 4 can synchronously drive the adjustment mechanism 3 to adjust the position of the blocking mechanism 2 when it is working.
[0041] In this embodiment, the mounting member 211 is rotatably mounted in the through groove 51 via a torsion spring. The torsion spring is used to make the baffle 212 tend to rotate away from the blocking area. The mounting member 211 and the baffle 212 are perpendicular to each other. When the baffle 212 is in the storage area, the mounting member 211 is in a horizontal state. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes two adjustment plates 31 that are slidably disposed on both sides of the housing 5 along the height direction of the housing 5. When the adjustment plates 31 are below the mounting member 211, a connecting member 32 is provided between the transmission plate 43 and the adjustment plates 31. The transmission plate 43 drives the adjustment plates 31 to move up and down through the connecting member 32. When the adjustment plates 31 move up, the adjustment plates 31 press the mounting member 211, causing the mounting member 211 to rotate. In some other embodiments, a rack is also provided on the adjustment plate 31, and a gear is provided on the rotation shaft of the mounting member 211. The adjustment plate 31 drives the mounting member 211 to rotate through the engagement of the rack and gear.
[0042] In this embodiment, a through hole is provided on the transmission plate 43. One end of the connector 32 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 31, and the other end passes through the through hole to realize the sliding connection between the adjusting plate 31 and the housing 5. A spring 321 is sleeved on the connector 32. One end of the spring 321 is connected to the transmission plate 43, and the other end is connected to the adjusting plate 31. A limit block 53 is provided above the adjusting plate 31 on the housing 5. The limit block 53 is used to limit the maximum movement distance of the adjusting plate 31. The limit block 53 prevents the adjusting plate 31 from moving too far upward, which could cause the adjusting plate 31 to detach from the mounting part 211.
[0043] In this embodiment, a sealing block 511 is provided in the through groove 51. When the baffle 212 is located in the storage area, the baffle 212 and the sealing block 511 cooperate to seal the through groove 51, preventing the plastic outer packaging from entering the through groove 51.
[0044] In this embodiment, an outlet 54 is provided at one end of the housing 5, and a pull ring 11 is provided on the collection frame 1. Pulling the pull ring 11 can remove the collection frame 1 from the housing 5.
[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0046] When it is necessary to squeeze the plastic outer packaging inside collection box 1:
[0047] The control cylinder operates, and the control cylinder drives the lifting plate 42 to move upward. When the lifting plate 42 moves upward, on the one hand, it drives the collection frame 1 to move upward, and on the other hand, it drives the adjusting plate 31 to move upward through the connecting block, transmission plate 43 and spring 321.
[0048] During the upward movement of the adjusting plate 31, the adjusting plate 31 presses against the mounting piece 211, causing the mounting piece 211 to rotate, thus rotating the baffle 212 from the storage area to the blocking area.
[0049] As the collection box 1 moves upward, the baffle 212 enters the collection box 1 and squeezes the plastic outer packaging inside the collection box 1, reducing the gaps between the plastic outer packaging inside the collection box 1 so as to accommodate more plastic outer packaging.
[0050] After extrusion, the lifting plate 42 is reset by the drive cylinder. When the lifting plate 42 is reset, the collecting frame 1 and the transmission plate 43 are reset synchronously with the lifting plate 42. At the same time, the transmission plate 43 drives the adjusting plate 31 to reset via the spring 321. After the adjusting plate 31 is disengaged from the mounting part 211, the torsion spring causes the baffle 212 to rotate away from the blocking area until the baffle 212 is vertically stored in the storage area.
[0051] 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 and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
