[0026] Embodiments of this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this application to those skilled in the art.

[0027] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., may be used in this application to describe various information, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic removal and collection device for the outer protective film of the carton includes a carton pushing mechanism, a carton transfer and pushing tower mechanism, a film suction mechanism, a film receiving box 1, and a film compaction mechanism.

[0029] The strip pushing mechanism is installed on the front side of the strip box transfer and push tower mechanism and is installed in cooperation with the strip box transfer and push tower mechanism. The film suction mechanism for taking out the film is installed on the rear side of the strip box transfer and push tower mechanism. A film receiving box 1 is provided on the rear side of the strip box transfer and push tower mechanism in cooperation with the film suction mechanism. A film compaction mechanism for compacting the film in the film receiving box 1 is provided on one side of the film receiving box 1.

[0030] During operation, the carton stacks cut by the film cutting device are pushed to the carton transfer and pushing tower mechanism by the pusher mechanism. In this embodiment, the carton stack contains 25 cigarettes, and the corresponding carton transfer and pushing tower mechanism has a capacity of 25 cartons, which is consistent with the number of cigarettes in a carton in actual production packaging. After the carton stacks are transferred, the carton transfer and pushing tower mechanism picks up the film and puts it into the film receiving box 1 by the film suction mechanism, and then compacts it by the film compaction mechanism.

[0031] The inner side of the film receiving box 1 is equipped with a film detection device, which is electrically connected to the control system of the device. When the film detection device detects that the protective film has been collected to a certain height, the film compaction mechanism is activated to compact the protective film. After compaction, more film is added, and this process is repeated. When the protective film has been collected to a sufficient height, the film detection device detects it and alarms. The operator then removes the film receiving box 1 and places an empty box on top. There is no need to stop the machine. The film receiving box 1 can collect more than 3,800 protective films. After the protective film is removed, the carton is moved to the next station by the carton transfer and pushing mechanism. After the carton stack is pushed out by the electric cylinder, it enters the carton stratification and discharge device.

[0032] In some embodiments, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder 21 and a pushing plate 22. The pushing cylinder 21 is mounted on the frame of the equipment, and the end of its movable part is equipped with a pushing plate 22, which corresponds to the bar box transfer pushing tower mechanism.

[0033] During operation, the pusher cylinder 21 drives the pusher plate 22 to push the carton stack into the carton transfer pusher mechanism. Correspondingly, a pusher mechanism can also be set at the end position of the carton transfer pusher mechanism to push the carton after the protective film has been removed out of the carton transfer pusher mechanism to the next process.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the strip box transfer and pushing mechanism includes a transfer tower 31, a transfer tray 32, and a transfer frame 33. The transfer tower 31 is a semi-circular arc frame, which is fixedly installed by a frame. Its top has a film-taking port that cooperates with the film suction mechanism to take film. The transfer tray 32 is coaxially rotatably installed on the lower rear side of the transfer tower 31. The transfer tray 32 is connected and driven by a transfer tray drive mechanism. The transfer frames 33 are evenly installed on the outer circumference of the transfer tray 32. The transfer frames 33 have openings on the opposite side of the transfer tray 32 facing the center of the transfer tray 32 and on the side facing the push plate 22. The opening on the opposite side of the transfer frame 33 facing the center of the transfer tray 32 matches the film-taking port, and the opening of the transfer frame 33 facing the push plate 22 matches the push plate 22.

[0035] During operation, the pusher mechanism pushes the carton stack into the transfer frame 33, which is located horizontally on the left side of the transfer tower 31. As the transfer disc 32 rotates, the transfer frame 33 drives the carton stack to rotate to the film dispensing port. The film suction mechanism sucks up the film, and the transfer disc 32 continues to drive the carton stack to rotate. When the carton stack rotates to the horizontal position on the right side of the transfer tower 31, the carton after the protective film has been removed is pushed out of the carton transfer and pusher mechanism by the carton stack ejection device. Multiple transfer frames 33 work simultaneously, which improves work efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments, the film suction mechanism includes a first linear guide rail 41, a first rotary cylinder 42, and a suction cup 43. A fixed support column 6 is vertically fixed on the frame of the device. The first linear guide rail 41 is vertically installed through the fixed support column 6. The first rotary cylinder 42 is horizontally installed on the upper part of its slider. A support plate 44 is installed on the rotating part of the first rotary cylinder 42. A support plate 45 is connected to the support plate 44. A suction cup 43 is installed at the end of the support plate 45 through a suction cup fixing plate. The suction cup 43 matches the film taking port and works in conjunction with the film receiving box 1. The first linear guide rail 41 is driven by a motor.

[0037] During operation, the height of the suction cup 43 is adjusted by the first linear guide rail 41, and the suction cup 43 can be rotated left and right by the first rotary cylinder 42, so that the suction cup 43 can be aligned with the film taking port to take out the film. During the pulling process, it can be shaken up and down to prevent the protective film from being torn. After taking out, the film is sent to the film receiving box 1. At this time, the negative pressure in the suction cup 43 is converted into positive pressure to ensure that the protective film can be smoothly removed from the suction cup 43.

[0038] In some embodiments, the film compaction mechanism includes a second linear guide rail 51, a second rotary cylinder 52, a connecting frame 53, and a compaction plate 54. The second linear guide rail 51 is vertically installed via a fixed support column 6 and is driven by a motor. The second rotary cylinder 52 is mounted on the slider of the second linear guide rail 51 via the connecting frame 53. The second rotary cylinder 52 is vertically installed, and a pressure plate support 55 is installed on its rotating part. A compaction plate 54 for compacting the film in the film receiving box 1 is installed on the pressure plate support 55.

[0039] During operation, the second linear guide 51 drives the compaction plate 54 to move up and down to compact the film. The second rotary cylinder 52 adjusts the downward pressing angle of the compaction plate 54. The compaction plate 54 is directly above the film receiving box 1. When the film detection device detects that the protective film has been collected to a certain height, the second linear guide 51 drives the compaction plate 54 to move down to compact the protective film. After compaction, more film is loaded, and this process is repeated.

[0040] It should also be noted that, in this document, relationships such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "include," "contain," or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
