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-mentioned terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic cigarette packing device, which includes a body 1 with a cigarette feeding bin 11. The body 1 includes existing support frames and tabletops, etc., for arranging various components and control cabinets, etc.

[0029] In this embodiment, the machine body 1 is provided with: a cigarette box input station, including a single-rail conveying assembly 2 for conveying an empty box in a fully open state to the bottom side of the cigarette feeding bin 11; a cigarette loading station, including a cigarette box fixing assembly 3 for limiting the empty box and a cigarette loading assembly 4 for conveying the cigarette groups (usually arranged in groups of 10) at the bottom of the cigarette feeding bin 11 into the empty box; and a cigarette box output station, including a double-rail conveying assembly 5 for outputting the cigarette box after loading to the rear station.

[0030] Among them, the conveying surface of the empty box, the fixing surface of the cigarette box, and the conveying surface of the cigarette box are parallel to each other and have an angle with the horizontal plane. The setting of the angle makes the cigarette box conveyed more smoothly on the single-rail conveying component 2 and the double-rail conveying component 5. At the same time, it is conducive to the cooperation with the cigarette loading component 4, so that the cigarettes pushed in the horizontal direction fall into the empty box on the cigarette loading station more effectively; the drive station is used to drive the operation of each station.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom of the cigarette feeding bin 11 is provided with a diversion plate 12 for arranging cigarettes. There are 9 diversion plates 12 arranged in parallel to evenly separate the cigarettes falling in the bin into groups of 10. The cigarette arrangement direction is parallel to the conveying direction of the cigarette loading assembly 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the monorail conveying assembly 2 includes a belt conveyor 21. The belt conveyor 21 has cigarette box guide rails 22 on both sides to restrict the conveying path of empty boxes. The empty boxes are in an open state during conveying. A limiter 23 is provided at the outlet of the belt conveyor 21 to prevent interference between cigarette boxes. The limiter 23 is a rotatably connected baffle that separates the empty box being filled with cigarettes from subsequent empty boxes. The cigarette box fixing assembly 3 includes a lifting plate 31, which has several suction holes 32 communicating with a negative pressure source.

[0033] In this embodiment, the smoke loading assembly 4 includes a smoke loading push plate 41 that is slidably connected to the body 1 and a pressure plate 42 that is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting plate 31. The smoke loading push plate 41 is horizontally arranged.

[0034] In this embodiment, the dual-track conveying assembly 5 includes a dual-track conveyor 51. A cigarette box guide strip 52 is provided on one side of the dual-track conveyor 51. A proximity switch 53 for detecting whether the empty box is in place is provided at one end of the cigarette box guide strip 52 near the empty box limit position.

[0035] In this embodiment, the drive station includes a first servo motor for driving the single-rail conveying assembly 2, a second servo motor for driving the double-rail conveying assembly 5, a first electric cylinder for driving the cigarette box fixing assembly 3, a second electric cylinder for driving the cigarette loading assembly 4, and a controller. The output end of the first electric cylinder is connected to the lifting plate 31 to drive the lifting plate 31 to complete the lifting action, and the output end of the second electric cylinder is connected to the cigarette loading push plate 41 to drive the cigarette loading push plate 41 to complete the horizontal reciprocating movement. For example, necessary electrical components such as the proximity switch 53 that controls the triggering of the cigarette loading action, the solenoid valve that controls the isolation action of the limit switch 23, and the solenoid valve that controls the connection between the suction hole 32 and the negative pressure source are all connected to the controller.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0037] In operation, the automatic packing device of this utility model is controlled by a proximity switch 53. When the proximity switch 53 detects that an empty box is in place, the negative pressure source of the suction hole 32 is activated, and the empty box to be filled with cigarettes is positioned by suction. After the proximity switch 53 detects the cigarette box, the horizontal electric cylinder drives the cigarette packing push plate 41 to move forward 30mm, the first electric cylinder drives the lifting plate 31 to rise, and the movement stops after 1 second, reaching the position to be filled with cigarettes. Then the second electric cylinder moves forward another 25mm, and the movement time is 0.25s, pushing the cigarette into the cigarette box. After the cigarette enters the cigarette box, the first electric cylinder descends, and the movement time is 1.5s. The cigarette box with the cigarettes filled falls onto the double-rail conveyor 51, the negative pressure source of the suction hole 32 is cut off, and the cigarette box with the cigarettes filled is transported away by the double-rail conveyor 51. At the same time, the second electric cylinder drives the cigarette packing push plate 41 to return to its position, and the next cigarette packing cycle begins.

[0038] 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. Technologies, shapes, and structural parts not described in detail in this utility model are all known technologies.
