Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding workbench technology, and in particular to folding workbench. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of soft-pack cigarettes, in order to reduce cigarette pack loss, operators need to retain cigarette packs that have been self-inspected, mistakenly rejected, or need to be reworked, and then add them to the soft-pack packaging machine for rework. After removing the transparent film from the intact cigarette packs rejected by the fifth wheel and the cigarette packs with poor transparent film wrapping, they need to be re-packed at the fifth wheel exit conveyor belt for rework.

[0003] Currently, there are significant problems with the additional packaging method: when using a cigarette receiving box for additional packaging, the receiving box needs to be clamped between the conveyor belt guard plate and the operator's body, which is tiring for the operator and the receiving box is prone to falling and causing injury, posing a safety hazard; when using a cigarette tray to add packaging between the conveyor baffle and the compressed air pipe, it is not only unsightly, but also damages the compressed air pipeline, causing the soft box packaging machine to malfunction, increasing quality risks and waste consumption, and the cigarette tray is prone to falling and injuring people.

[0004] Therefore, a folding workbench is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding workbench to solve the problem of nowhere to place the cigarette packs to be added and the inconvenience of operation when adding packs, so as to facilitate operators to add cigarette packs, achieve stable placement and flexible storage, and help safe and efficient production.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0014] In this working position, the first plate and the second plate are aligned on the same plane, the two locking tongues are locked with their corresponding latches, and the rotating member rotates until its two ends abut against the two support pads to support the first plate and the second plate.

[0015] When in the storage position, the first plate and the second plate are flipped to be parallel to each other, the two latches unlock their corresponding latches, and the rotating member rotates to be parallel to the support member.

[0016] As an alternative to the folding worktable, the folding worktable also includes two mounting bases and two springs. The two mounting bases are respectively disposed on the first plate and the second plate, and the two locking tongues are respectively mounted on the corresponding mounting bases by the two springs.

[0017] As an alternative to the folding workbench, the end of the latch away from the mounting base is provided with an inclined guide surface.

[0035] 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.

[0039] This embodiment provides a folding worktable, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the folding workbench includes a connector 1, a support 2, a first plate 31, a second plate 32, two locking tongues 41, two locking buckles 5, two support pads 6, and a rotating component 7. The connector 1 extends along a first direction, and the support 2 is fixed to the connector 1 and extends along a second direction, with the first and second directions perpendicular to each other. The first plate 31 is rotatably connected to one side of the support 2, and the second plate 32 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the support 2. The first plate 31 and the second plate 32 can rotate relative to the support 2 from the working position to the storage position. The two locking tongues 41 are respectively disposed on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32. The two locking buckles 5 are respectively disposed at both ends of the connector 1. The two support pads 6 are respectively disposed on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32. The rotating component 7 is rotatably connected to the support 2. In the working position, the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are aligned on the same plane, and the two locking tongues 41 are locked with their corresponding latches 5 respectively. The rotating part 7 rotates until its two ends abut against the two support pads 6 respectively to support the first plate 31 and the second plate 32. In the storage position, the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are flipped to be parallel to each other, and the two locking tongues 41 are unlocked with their corresponding latches 5 respectively. The rotating part 7 rotates to be parallel to the support part 2.

[0040] When using this folding workbench, the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are rotated around the support member 2 until they align with the same plane in the working position. At this time, the locking tongues 41 on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are locked with the latches 5 at both ends of the connecting member 1. Simultaneously, the rotating member 7 rotates around the support member 2 until its two ends abut against the support pads 6 on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 to enhance support. When storing, the locking tongues 41 are unlocked and the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are flipped until they are parallel to each other. The rotating member 7 is then rotated to be parallel to the support member 2. This folding workbench achieves a combination of convenient storage and stable support, avoids safety hazards during use and storage, improves the work efficiency of operators, promotes safe and efficient production, ensures the cleanliness of the processing plant, and does not affect the work of maintenance personnel in repairing other equipment after folding.

[0041] It is worth noting that connector 1 can be connected to other equipment. In the production of soft-pack cigarettes, to reduce cigarette pack waste, operators need to retain cigarette packs that have been self-inspected, mistakenly rejected, or need rework before adding them to the soft-pack packaging machine for rework. This requires removing the transparent film from intact cigarette packs rejected by the fifth wheel and those with poorly wrapped transparent film, and then adding them for rework at the fifth wheel exit conveyor belt. The fifth wheel rejection refers to the operation of rejecting unqualified cigarette packs at the fifth wheel station of the cigarette packaging machine. Connector 1 can be connected to the soft-pack packaging machine to connect the folding worktable as a whole. This allows the cigarette packs to be added to the folding worktable, improving the operator's packing efficiency, reducing cigarette pack waste, decreasing packing time and the operator's workload, and ensuring the normal operation of the soft-pack packaging machine.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connector 1 is a plate, the support 2 is a quadrangular prism, and the rotating part 7 is a rod. One end of the quadrangular prism is fixedly connected to the plate to enhance load-bearing stability, and the rod improves the structural regularity when folded and stored.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the folding worktable also includes two mounting seats 42 and two springs. The two mounting seats 42 are respectively set on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32, and the two locking tongues 41 are respectively mounted on the corresponding mounting seats 42 by the two springs. The locking tongues 41 are mounted on the mounting seats 42 by the springs. Pressing the locking tongues 41 can easily unlock the machine. The elastic connection reduces the hard collision when locking, and the spring force ensures that the locking tongues 41 and the latch 5 fit tightly when locked, preventing the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 from accidentally loosening. This improves the convenience of operation and enhances the structural stability and safety during use.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the end of the latch 41 furthest from the mounting base 42 is provided with an inclined guide surface 411. When the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 rotate to the working position, the inclined guide surface 411 can guide the latch 5 to push the corresponding latch 41 to move in the second direction and compress the corresponding spring, so that the latch 41 locks with the corresponding latch 5. The inclined guide surface 411 of the latch 41 slides with the latch 5, automatically pushing the latch 41 to compress the spring and then reset and lock, without the need for manual alignment. The spring force combined with the guide surface design makes the locking process smooth and effortless, ensuring that the latch 41 and the latch 5 are stably engaged, improving ease of use and structural reliability.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the folding workbench also includes a pivot 8, through which a rotating component 7 passes and is fixedly connected to the support component 2. The rotating component 7 can rotate relative to the support component 2 around the pivot 8. This ensures that during operation, the rotating component 7 rotates to be parallel to the connecting component 1, with both ends precisely abutting the support pad 6, forming reliable support and distributing the force on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32. At the same time, the stable connection of the pivot 8 prevents the rotating component 7 from loosening or shifting, improving support stability and ensuring smooth rotation without jamming during folding and storage.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there is one rotating component 7. The rotating shaft 8 passes through the rotating component 7 and is fixedly connected to the support component 2. The rotating component 7 can rotate relative to the support component 2 around the rotating shaft 8. The optimal contact state between the rotating component 7 and the support pads 6 on both sides is that the rotating component 7 rotates to be parallel to the connecting component 1, and the two ends of the rotating component 7 precisely contact the support pads 6 on both sides to form symmetrical support force, disperse the force on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32, avoid local deformation or loosening, enhance the overall load-bearing safety, and at the same time, do not affect the space reduction effect when folded and stored.

[0047] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, there are two rotating members 7. The rotating shaft 8 passes through the two rotating members 7 sequentially and is fixedly connected to the support member 2. Both rotating members 7 can rotate relative to the support member 2 around the rotating shaft 8. The optimal contact state between the two rotating members 7 and the support pads 6 on both sides is when the two rotating members 7 rotate to a cross-shaped position, distributing the force on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 more evenly and improving load-bearing stability. This enhances the deformation resistance of the first plate 31 and the second plate 32. When stored, both rotating members 7 rotate to be parallel to the support member 2, balancing stable support and convenient storage. In other embodiments, the number of rotating members 7 can also be three, four, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the folding workbench also includes two fasteners. Both ends of the rotating component 7 are provided with through holes 71. The two fasteners can pass through the two through holes 71 respectively and are detachably and fixedly connected to the corresponding support pads 6. During operation, this ensures a stable connection between the rotating component 7 and the first plate 31 and the second plate 32, enhancing support reliability. During disassembly, the rotating component 7 and the support pads 6 can be separated, balancing structural stability and operational flexibility.

[0049] In other embodiments, when there are two rotating parts 7, there are four fasteners. The number of fasteners can be matched with the number of rotating parts 7, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0050] In this embodiment, the fastener is a locking screw with external threads. The support pad 6 has a blind hole with internal threads that mate with the external threads, allowing the locking screw to be detachably threadedly connected to the support pad 6. This threaded locking ensures a stable connection while facilitating subsequent storage, improving assembly flexibility and storage convenience.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the folding workbench also includes hinges 9. The first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are rotatably connected to both sides of the support member 2 via two hinges 9. The stable connection of the hinges 9 enhances the structural reliability of the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 during rotation, improves the overall stability during operation, and ensures flexible and smooth folding and storage, while extending the service life.

[0052] Specifically, in the working position, hinge 9 precisely aligns the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 into a flat plane, ensuring a smooth and gapless joint; when folded, it guides the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 to fit tightly against both sides of the support member 2. The stable rotation characteristics of hinge 9 ensure smooth switching between the two states, enhancing the overall structural stability and folding regularity.

[0053] In other embodiments, the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 can also be rotatably connected to the support member 2 via a pin. The pin connection is stable and wear-resistant, reducing the risk of jamming during flipping.

[0054] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the folding workbench also includes two handles 10, which are respectively mounted on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32. On one hand, the handles 10 provide a grip when folding or joining the first plate 31 and the second plate 32, making it easier to flip the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 and preventing scratches from direct contact with the edges of the first plate 31 and the second plate 32. On the other hand, during transport, the operator can easily move the entire unit by gripping the handles 10, improving operational convenience and safety.

[0055] Specifically, two handles 10 are located on the edge of the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 away from the docking position, for gripping when folding or docking, making it easier to flip the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 and avoiding hand scratches from contact with the edge; when transporting, the operator can easily move the whole by gripping the handles 10, effectively improving the convenience of operation and the safety of use.

[0056] It is worth noting that when the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are both in the working position and docked on the same plane, the operator can apply an upward force to the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 by grasping the two handles 10, which can lift the whole structure upward. The first plate 31 and the second plate 32 will no longer rotate relative to the support member 2, ensuring a stable docking state, avoiding accidental rotation during operation, and improving the structural stability and operational reliability during use.

[0057] like Figures 1-2 As shown, both the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 have a retaining edge 11. The retaining edge 11 can prevent items placed on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 from slipping off, avoiding safety hazards. In addition, the retaining edge 11 is designed to fit the edges of the first plate 31 and the second plate 32, so as not to affect the docking or folding of the first plate 31 and the second plate 32, thus improving the safety and practicality of use.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are made of alloy material. Alloy material is high in strength and light in weight, wear-resistant and deformation-resistant, which improves the load-bearing capacity while facilitating handling, extending the service life of the folding workbench, and balancing structural stability and durability.

[0059] Optionally, the alloy material can be aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant, and easy to process, giving the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 both good load-bearing capacity and portability, thus improving the durability and usability of the folding workbench. The alloy material can also be magnesium alloy, but this is not specifically limited here.

[0060] In other embodiments, the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 can also be made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is rust-resistant, has high hardness, and is resistant to deformation. It is adaptable to complex environments such as humidity, improves load-bearing stability, and enhances reliability.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first plate 31 and the second plate 32 are provided with anti-slip layers. The anti-slip layers increase the friction for placing items on the first plate 31 and the second plate 32, preventing items from sliding and falling during operation, and together with the guard edge 11, provide double protection for item safety. Furthermore, the anti-slip layers do not affect the docking and folding of the first plate 31 and the second plate 32, improving stability and operational safety.

[0062] In some embodiments, the anti-slip layer can be a flexible material layer such as a rubber anti-slip layer, a silicone anti-slip layer, or an anti-slip cloth layer. These anti-slip layers enhance the anti-slip effect through the high coefficient of friction of the material itself. The rubber layer is highly wear-resistant, suitable for scenarios involving frequent handling of items; the silicone layer has excellent flexibility and good temperature resistance; and the anti-slip cloth layer is soft and reduces wear on items.

[0063] In other embodiments, the anti-slip layer can be a rigid structural layer such as an anti-slip textured layer or a frosted coating. The anti-slip textured layer is integrally formed with the first plate 31 or the second plate 32 through processes such as stamping and etching, eliminating the risk of detachment; the frosted coating achieves anti-slip properties by roughening the surface of the first plate 31 or the second plate 32, which is low-cost and easy to process. The specific material or structure of the anti-slip layer can be flexibly selected according to actual usage requirements, and is not specifically limited here.

[0064] 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.
