Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette production technology, and in particular to a smoke guiding and positioning device and production line. Background Technology

[0002] After the cigarette packs are packaged, they are uniformly packed into cartons of cigarettes. The cartons are placed on an upward-lifting vertical track and moved by pallets on the track. The pallets move the cartons upward a certain distance and transport them to the next process. However, during the conveying process of the automated cigarette production line, due to the narrow conveying channel, if the placement angle of the cigarette packs is off, they will be squeezed against the inner wall of the conveying channel when moving, causing damage and deformation to the soft surface of the cigarette packs, reducing the yield. At this time, it is necessary to remove the damaged cartons of cigarettes, which requires the removal of the original cigarette guide positioning device. This will cause the production line to be shut down for a long time and the production efficiency to be low. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a smoke guiding and positioning device and production line to solve the problem that cigarettes may be damaged due to collision with the conveying channel during the conveying process in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides a cigarette production technology, including a connecting frame and a guide bearing. The connecting frame is installed on the side of a guide rail, and a conveyor belt is installed on the guide rail. The conveyor belt drives the cigarette pack to move. A guide bearing is rotatably installed on the connecting frame. A gap is formed between the arc-shaped surface of the guide bearing and the conveyor belt. The outer wall of the guide bearing abuts against the cigarette pack, and the cigarette pack passes through the gap.

[0005] Preferably, a spring plate is installed on the connecting frame, a fixing rod is installed on the spring plate, and a guide bearing is rotatably installed on the fixing rod.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting frame includes a first beam and a second beam, with the spring plate installed on the side of the first beam near the second beam and the spring plate installed on the side of the second beam near the first beam, and two sets of guide bearings installed on each set of the fixing rods.

[0007] Preferably, a first guide rod is installed on the first beam, the axis of which is parallel to the direction of movement of the cigarette pack; and a second guide rod is installed on the second beam, the axis of which is parallel to the direction of movement of the cigarette pack.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the first guide rod away from the first beam is raised, and the side of the second guide rod away from the second beam is raised.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting frame is spring-loaded with a guide plate, which is disposed on the side of the conveyor belt.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting frame is rotatably mounted on the base plate, and the base plate is fixed to the side of the guide rail.

[0011] Preferably, an elliptical hole is formed on the base plate, and a bolt is installed in the elliptical hole, the bolt passing through the elliptical hole and screwed onto the guide rail.

[0012] A production line includes the smoke guiding and positioning device described above, and also includes guide rails, with a conveyor belt installed between the guide rails, the guide rails being perpendicular to the ground, and the smoke guiding and positioning device being installed on the side of the guide rails.

[0013] Beneficial effects: When the cigarette packs are lifted by the conveyor belt and moved vertically along the guide rails, if the placement of the cigarette packs deviates, the arc-shaped surface on the outer side of the guide bearing can contact the cigarette packs to correct their position. At the same time, the arc-shaped contact surface can reduce damage to the surface of the cigarette packs, allowing the cigarette packs to change their position without being squeezed by the inner wall of the subsequent conveying channel. It can also reduce friction when the cigarette packs pass through the cigarette guide positioning device, reduce wear on the surface of the cigarette packs, avoid blockage, and improve the yield rate.

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0019] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0020] In the current technology, cigarette packs are transported by a conveyor belt on a guide rail. If the placement of the cigarette packs is off, they will collide with the inner wall of the subsequent conveying channel, resulting in compression. This will cause damage to the surface of the cigarette packs and reduce the yield rate.

[0021] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a smoke guiding and positioning device, including a connecting frame 1 and a guide bearing 2. The connecting frame 1 is installed on the side of the guide rail 3. A conveyor belt 4 is installed on the guide rail 3. The conveyor belt 4 drives the cigarette to move. The guide bearing 2 is rotatably installed on the connecting frame 1. A gap is formed between the arc-shaped surface of the guide bearing 2 and the conveyor belt 4. The outer wall of the guide bearing 2 abuts against the cigarette and the cigarette passes through the gap.

[0022] The smoke guiding and positioning device of this utility model is installed on the guide rail 3 to prevent the cigarette packs on the guide rail 3 from falling during the upward process. A conveyor belt 4 is installed between the guide rails 3. The guide rails 3 are perpendicular to the ground, and the smoke guiding and positioning device is installed on the side of the guide rail 3.

[0023] If the position of the cigarette pack on conveyor belt 4 shifts, the guide bearing 2 will come into contact with the cigarette pack to correct its position. The outer arc-shaped surface of the guide bearing 2 can rotate. During the contact with the cigarette pack, the guide bearing 2 and the cigarette pack are in rolling contact, which can reduce the friction generated during the contact process and thus reduce damage to the outer side of the cigarette pack. While correcting the position of the cigarette pack, it can also reduce damage to the cigarette pack. At the same time, it can also reduce the friction between the cigarette pack and the cigarette guide positioning device when the cigarette pack passes through the cigarette guide positioning device, thus avoiding blockage.

[0024] The connecting frame 1 of this utility model is equipped with a spring plate 5, a fixing rod is installed on the spring plate 5, and a guide bearing 2 is rotatably installed on the fixing rod. If the deviation of the cigarette pack is large, the spring plate 5 will deform significantly. The spring plate 5 can drive the guide bearing 2 to move perpendicular to the conveyor belt 4 by bending itself, thereby increasing the distance between the guide bearing 2 and the conveyor belt 4. This allows the cigarette pack with a large deviation to change its position under the action of the spring plate 5 and the guide bearing 2, avoiding contact between the cigarette pack and the inner wall of the channel in the subsequent process.

[0025] The connecting frame 1 includes a first beam 6 and a second beam 7. A spring plate 5 is installed on the side of the first beam 6 near the second beam 7, and a spring plate 5 is installed on the side of the second beam 7 near the first beam 6. Two sets of guide bearings 2 are installed on each set of fixing rods. The spring plate 5 can absorb the impact of the cigarette pack on the guide bearing 2, avoid rigid collisions, and also prevent damage to the surface of the cigarette pack.

[0026] The cigarette guide positioning device of this utility model is equipped with four sets of guide bearings 2, which are symmetrically distributed. This allows the cigarette pack to correct its position under the push of multiple sets of guide bearings 2, reducing damage to the cigarette pack surface and preventing the cigarette from getting stuck. The position of the guide bearings 2 can be freely adjusted by a small range through the spring plate 5, which can correct cigarette packs with larger displacement and bring them back to the correct position.

[0027] A first guide rod 8 is installed on the first beam 6, and the axis of the first guide rod 8 is parallel to the direction of movement of the cigarette pack. A second guide rod 9 is installed on the second beam 7, and the axis of the second guide rod 9 is parallel to the direction of movement of the cigarette pack.

[0028] By setting the first guide rod 8 and the second guide rod 9, the cigarette packs can be prevented from falling when passing through the cigarette positioning device. The first guide rod 8 and the second guide rod 9 can limit the position of the cigarette packs, thereby improving the stability of the cigarette packs during transportation.

[0029] The first guide rod 8 is raised at the end away from the first beam 6, and the second guide rod 9 is raised on the side away from the second beam 7. The raised parts of the first guide rod 8 and the second guide rod 9 can increase the receiving angle of the smoke guiding and positioning device. The first guide rod 8 is located on the lower side, so that cigarettes with larger offsets can enter the smoke guiding and positioning device, increasing the throughput of the smoke guiding and positioning device. The second guide rod 9 is located on the upper side. If a cigarette falls, the upper side of the second guide rod 9 bends away from the conveyor belt 4, increasing the probability of the cigarette falling into the smoke guiding and positioning device, thus avoiding the cigarette falling and reducing the probability of damage.

[0030] The connecting frame 1 is equipped with a guide plate 10 via a spring 11. The guide plate 10 is located on the side of the conveyor belt 4. The guide plate 10 is installed on the side of the connecting frame 1. The guide plate 10 is close to the conveyor belt 4. If the position of the cigarette pack is deviated from the left or right side of the guide rail 3, it will be corrected by the guide plate 10. The guide plate 10 can be shaken by the spring 11 to avoid rigid contact between the guide plate 10 and the cigarette pack, thus protecting the outer surface of the cigarette pack.

[0031] The connecting frame 1 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 12, which is fixed to the side of the guide rail 3. If the appearance of the cigarette pack is found to be damaged, the connecting frame 1 is rotated to flip the entire connecting frame 1 to make room for the worker to operate, so that the worker can take out the cigarette pack from the conveyor belt 4 and take out the damaged cigarette pack from the cigarette guide positioning device. Then the connecting frame 1 is moved back to the working position.

[0032] An elliptical hole 14 is formed on the base plate 12. A bolt 13 is installed in the elliptical hole 14. The bolt 13 passes through the elliptical hole 14 and is screwed onto the guide rail 3. The installation position of the base plate 12 can be changed through the elliptical hole 14, thereby adjusting the gap between the connecting frame 1 and the conveyor belt 4, so that the smoke guiding and positioning device can be adapted to cigarette production lines of different sizes.

[0033] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
