Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco logistics technology, specifically an adjustable cigarette stacking auxiliary rack. Background Technology
[0002] In tobacco logistics, key aspects such as the storage, transportation, and turnover of cigarette cartons are crucial for ensuring the efficient operation of the supply chain. With the diversification of market demand, the specifications of cigarette cartons frequently change, from traditional standard cigarettes to irregularly shaped ones. This variety of sizes presents significant challenges to stacking operations. Currently, cigarette carton stacking relies heavily on manual operation or fixed-size auxiliary tools. Manual stacking is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also struggles to guarantee neatness and stability. During stacking, cartons are prone to tilting and collapsing due to uneven stress, leading to packaging deformation and damage to the cigarettes inside, resulting in economic losses. Fixed-size auxiliary racks, unable to accommodate the stacking needs of different sized cartons, must be replaced or abandoned when encountering non-standard shaped cigarettes, increasing equipment costs and disrupting operational continuity. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the technical problem that existing fixed-size auxiliary racks cannot adapt to the stacking requirements of cigarettes of different specifications, this utility model provides an adjustable cigarette stacking auxiliary rack, which has the advantage of being able to adjust the distance between multiple racks in one operation, thereby meeting the needs of different cigarette, paper tube or paper box sizes.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable cigarette stacking auxiliary frame, comprising a support plate, a sliding box, and a driving mechanism; the sliding box is horizontally disposed on the back of the support plate, and the sliding box contains a plurality of sliders that can move along the length direction of the sliding box; one end of each slider is fixedly provided with a sliding post, and the end of the sliding post away from the slider is fixedly provided with a connecting plate in the horizontal direction; the lower surface of the connecting plate is fixedly provided with a telescopic bracket that can extend and retract along its own length direction in the vertical direction; the support plate has a plurality of elongated through holes, and the plurality of sliding posts are correspondingly embedded in the plurality of through holes; the angle range of the through holes with the vertical direction is -45° to 45°, and the angle between each through hole and the vertical direction is different; the driving mechanism is connected to the sliding box and is used to drive the sliding box to move up and down.
[0005] Preferably, the driving mechanism is a hydraulic push rod, the fixed end of which is mounted on the upper part of the back of the support plate through a fixing plate, and the moving end is fixedly connected to the top of the slide box.
[0006] Preferably, a base plate is fixed to the bottom of the support plate, and the bottom of the telescopic bracket abuts against the floor.
[0007] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the telescopic bracket, and rollers are provided on the base.
[0008] Preferably, there are five through holes, including a first through hole located in the middle of the support plate, two second through holes located on both sides of the first through hole, and two third through holes located on the outer sides of the two second through holes respectively; the angles between the first through hole, the second through hole, and the third through hole and the vertical direction increase sequentially; the second through holes and the third through holes are mirror images of each other on both sides of the first through hole.
[0009] This allows for gradual, non-linear adjustment of the spacing between multiple points: through holes at different angles create different displacement and spacing relationships, enabling non-linear, segmented changes in the distance between multiple sets of sliding columns under the same drive, thus adapting to the needs of various cigarette specifications and stacking densities.
[0010] Preferably, two mounting plates are fixedly connected to the support plate, and a lifting rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate. The lifting rod moves synchronously with the push rod without the need for a drive, which can effectively support both sides of the slide box, improve the reliability of the structure, and reduce the pressure on the push rod.
[0011] Preferably, the other end of the lifting rod is fixedly connected to the slide box, and the two lifting rods are located on both sides of the push rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a hydraulic cylinder to drive a push rod, which in turn moves the sliding box. Multiple sliding columns connected to the sliding box slide within multiple through holes. Due to the different inclination angles of the through holes, the distance between multiple sets of sliding columns changes accordingly. This achieves the adjustability of the "distance between multiple support rods" during use, thus meeting the needs of different cigarette, paper tube, or paper box sizes. One operation can achieve distance adjustment between multiple points, avoiding the need to adjust each support rod individually, reducing operational complexity, and allowing for quick adjustment to different working conditions according to different needs.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides an adjustable cigarette stacking auxiliary rack, including a support plate (1), a sliding box (2), and a driving mechanism; the sliding box (2) is horizontally disposed on the back of the support plate (1), and the sliding box (2) is provided with a plurality of sliders (3) that can move along the length direction of the sliding box (2). One end of the slider (3) is fixedly provided with a sliding post (4), and the end of the sliding post (4) away from the slider (3) is fixedly provided with a connecting plate (5) in the horizontal direction. The lower surface of the support plate (1) is fixed with a telescopic bracket (6) that can extend and retract along its own length direction in the vertical direction; the support plate (1) is provided with a plurality of elongated through holes (9), and a plurality of sliding columns (4) are fitted into the plurality of through holes (9) in a corresponding manner; the angle between the through holes and the vertical direction is in the range of -45° to 45°, and the included angle between each through hole and the vertical direction is different; the driving mechanism is connected to the sliding box (2) and is used to drive the sliding box (2) to move up and down.
[0022] Specifically, the driving mechanism is a hydraulic push rod (11), the fixed end of which is installed on the upper part of the back of the support plate (1) through a fixing plate (10), and the moving end is fixedly connected to the top of the slide box (2).
[0023] Furthermore, a base plate (17) is fixed to the bottom of the support plate (1), and the bottom of the telescopic bracket (6) abuts against the floor (17).
[0024] Furthermore, a base (7) is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the telescopic bracket (6), and a roller (8) is provided on the base (7).
[0025] Specifically, there are five through holes (9), including a first through hole located in the middle of the support plate (1), two second through holes located on both sides of the first through hole, and two third through holes located on the outside of the two second through holes respectively; the angles between the first through hole, the second through hole, and the third through hole and the vertical direction increase sequentially, and are 0°, 30° and 45° respectively; the second through holes and the third through holes are mirror images of the first through hole on both sides.
[0026] Furthermore, two mounting plates (14) are fixedly connected to the support plate (1), and a lifting rod (15) is fixedly connected to the lower surface of each mounting plate (14).
[0027] Furthermore, the other end of the lifting rod (15) is fixedly connected to the slide box (2), and the two lifting rods (15) are located on both sides of the push rod (12).

The "front, rear, left, and right" perspectives of this device are... Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.
[0029] Working principle: In use, the hydraulic cylinder 11 on the fixed plate 10 drives the push rod 12, which pushes the push plate 13 downward. The push plate 13 causes the sliding box 2 to slide up and down, while the sliding box 2 causes the sliding column 4 to slide. The sliding column 4 slides within the through hole 9. Due to the inclination of the through hole 9, the lateral distance of the sliding column 4 changes as it slides up and down, and the slider 3 slides within the sliding box 2, thus increasing the distance between multiple sliding columns 4. Simultaneously, the sliding column 4 drives the connecting plate 5 and the telescopic bracket 6 to move. The height of the telescopic bracket 6 and the distance between multiple telescopic brackets 6 change with the sliding of the sliding column 4. The telescopic bracket 6 retracts due to the elasticity of its internal spring, and the bottom of the telescopic bracket 6 moves via the roller 8, thereby changing the distance between multiple telescopic brackets 6 to accommodate cigarette packs of different sizes. When stacking cigarette packs, after adjusting the distance between the telescopic brackets 6 according to the cigarette pack size, insert the cigarette pack between two telescopic brackets 6 until the other side of the cigarette pack contacts the support plate 1. Then, stack the cigarette packs in the same direction. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown.
