Description

Technical Field

[0002] The cigarette cartons are stacked and sealed into boxes by a sealing machine. A coding machine then affixes an engineering code to each box. After QR code association is completed, the boxes are transported to the finished product warehouse in the logistics workshop via a merging line. Due to unstable air pressure and poor adhesive quality of the coding paper, the engineering code is not firmly attached to the cigarette box, resulting in uneven application and code drift. There is a risk of the code falling off at any time. When passing through the cigarette box inspection device on the merging line, the cigarette boxes are rejected due to poor engineering code application quality, requiring a significant amount of manpower to re-code the boxes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] This leveling mechanism includes a base assembly, a support assembly, and a pressing member. The base assembly is detachably mounted on one side of the confluence line along the Y-axis. The pressing member is disposed on the support assembly, which is located above the base assembly along the Z-axis. An elastic member is disposed between the support assembly and the base assembly. The elastic member is configured to drive the support assembly to move downward along the Z-axis so that the pressing member presses against the first engineering code of the tobacco box.

The support assembly is connected to the base assembly through an elastic element, which is configured to drive the support assembly to move downward along the Z-axis. When the cigarette box is conveyed on the merging line and reaches the front of the leveling mechanism, the cigarette box first pushes the pressing component to move upward along the Z-axis, so that the cigarette box can continue to be conveyed downstream and the cigarette box is positioned below the pressing component. The pressing component on the support assembly will press down on the first engineering code of the cigarette box due to the action of the elastic element. The pressing component applies a certain pressure to the first engineering code, so that the originally uneven and floating first engineering code is flattened and tightly attached to the surface of the cigarette box, thereby solving the application quality problem. As the cigarette box is continuously conveyed on the merging line, the leveling mechanism will continuously perform the leveling operation on the first engineering code of each passing cigarette box to ensure that the cigarette box passes smoothly through the subsequent inspection device.

[0027] The leveling mechanism of this utility model applies pressure to the No. 1 engineering code through the pressing component, which can effectively solve problems such as uneven application and code drift, so that the No. 1 engineering code is tightly attached to the surface of the cigarette box, avoiding the risk of the No. 1 engineering code falling off, reducing the rejection rate of cigarette boxes caused by the application of the No. 1 engineering code, and saving the labor and time costs of reapplying the code; the base component adopts a detachable installation method, which allows the leveling mechanism to be easily installed and disassembled as needed, facilitating the maintenance and adjustment of the leveling mechanism, and can also adapt to the needs of different merging line layouts.

[0028] This merging conveyor includes a merging line and a leveling mechanism as described above. The merging line is used to convey cigarette boxes along the X-axis, and the leveling mechanism is located on one side of the merging line along the Y-axis. As the cigarette boxes are conveyed along the X-axis on the merging line, the leveling mechanism can process the cigarette boxes in real time, ensuring that the first engineering mark of each cigarette box is leveled when passing through the leveling mechanism, ensuring that the cigarette boxes pass smoothly through subsequent inspection devices.

[0038] 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.

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.

[0042] The cigarette cartons are stacked and sealed into boxes by a sealing machine. A coding machine then affixes an engineering code to each box. After QR code association is completed, the boxes are transported to the finished product warehouse in the logistics workshop via a merging line. Due to unstable air pressure and poor adhesive quality of the coding paper, the engineering code is not firmly attached to the cigarette box, resulting in uneven application and code drift. There is a risk of the code falling off at any time. When passing through the cigarette box inspection device on the merging line, the cigarette boxes are rejected due to poor engineering code application quality, requiring a significant amount of manpower to re-code the boxes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0043] Therefore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a leveling mechanism, wherein a merging line 100 is used to transport a cigarette box 200 along the X-axis, and a first engineering code 2001 is affixed to the cigarette box 200. The leveling mechanism includes a base assembly 1, a support assembly 2, and a pressing member 3. The base assembly 1 is detachably installed on one side of the merging line 100 along the Y-axis; the pressing member 3 is disposed on the support assembly 2, which is located above the base assembly 1 along the Z-axis. An elastic member 4 is disposed between the support assembly 2 and the base assembly 1, and the elastic member 4 is configured to drive the support assembly 2 to move downward along the Z-axis so that the pressing member 3 presses against the first engineering code 2001 of the cigarette box 200. The X-axis is the transport direction of the cigarette box 200, and the Y-axis is perpendicular to the transport direction of the cigarette box 200.

[0044] The base assembly 1 of the leveling mechanism is detachably mounted on one side of the merging line 100 along the Y-axis. Specifically, the base assembly 1 can be threaded onto the merging line 100 using screws. The support assembly 2 is located above the base assembly 1 along the Z-axis. The support assembly 2 is connected to the base assembly 1 via an elastic element 4, which is configured to drive the support assembly 2 to move downward along the Z-axis. When the smoke box 200 is conveyed on the merging line 100 and reaches the front of the leveling mechanism, the smoke box 200 first pushes the pressing element 3 to move upward along the Z-axis, so that the smoke box 200 can continue to be conveyed downstream, and so that the smoke box 200... Located below the pressing component 3, the pressing component 3 on the bracket assembly 2 will press down on the first engineering code 2001 of the cigarette box 200 due to the action of the elastic component 4. The pressing component 3 applies a certain pressure to the first engineering code 2001, so that the originally uneven and loose first engineering code 2001 is flattened and tightly attached to the surface of the cigarette box 200, thereby solving the problem of application quality. As the cigarette box 200 is continuously conveyed on the merging line 100, the leveling mechanism will continuously perform the leveling operation of the first engineering code 2001 on each passing cigarette box 200 to ensure that the cigarette box 200 passes smoothly through the subsequent inspection device.

[0045] The leveling mechanism in this embodiment applies pressure to the No. 1 engineering code 2001 through the pressing component 3, which can effectively solve problems such as uneven application and code drift, so that the No. 1 engineering code 2001 is tightly attached to the surface of the cigarette box 200, avoiding the risk of the No. 1 engineering code 2001 falling off, reducing the rejection rate of the cigarette box 200 caused by the application problem of the No. 1 engineering code 2001, and saving the labor and time costs of reapplying the code; the base assembly 1 adopts a detachable installation method, which allows the leveling mechanism to be easily installed and disassembled as needed, facilitating the maintenance and adjustment of the leveling mechanism, and can also adapt to the needs of different confluence line 100 layouts.

[0046] Optionally, the outer surface of the pressing component 3 is provided with a wear-resistant layer. During operation, the pressing component 3 frequently comes into contact with and applies pressure to the first engineering code 2001 on the surface of the cigarette box 200. The wear-resistant layer can reduce the wear rate of the pressing component 3, thereby extending its service life and reducing the frequency of replacement. Specifically, a wear-resistant ceramic coating material can be applied to the outer surface of the pressing component 3 to form the wear-resistant layer.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the base assembly 1 includes a base body 11 and several guide members 12. The base body 11 is detachably installed on one side of the confluence line 100 along the Y-axis. The several guide members 12 are spaced apart along the X-axis on the base body 11, and extend along the Z-axis, passing through the support assembly 2. The guide members 12, extending along the Z-axis and passing through the support assembly 2, provide precise guidance for the movement of the support assembly 2 along the Z-axis, ensuring that the support assembly 2 can move smoothly along the Z-axis under the action of the elastic member 4, thereby ensuring that the pressing member 3 can stably press against the cigarette box 200, improving the leveling effect of the No. 1 engineering code 2001. The base body 11 is detachably installed, allowing the leveling mechanism to be easily installed and disassembled as needed. The specific number of guide members 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs; for example, in this embodiment, there is one guide member 12.

[0048] In one optional embodiment, the guide member 12 is detachably connected to the base body 11. The base body 11 and any one of the guide members 12 may be damaged and require replacement during long-term use. The detachable connection allows for quick removal and replacement of the damaged guide member 12 or base body 11 without replacing the entire base assembly 1, significantly reducing maintenance time and costs.

[0049] Specifically, one end of the guide member 12 is provided with a threaded post, and the base body 11 is provided with a threaded hole. The threaded post is threaded into the threaded hole of the base body 11. This threaded connection ensures a tight connection between the guide member 12 and the base body 11, and can withstand significant tensile and compressive forces, ensuring that the guide member 12 will not loosen or fall off the base body 11 during operation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the base assembly 1. The installation and removal of the threaded connection is simple and quick. To install the guide member 12, simply align the threaded post of the guide member 12 with the threaded hole of the base body 11 and tighten it by rotation. To replace the guide member 12, simply rotate the threaded post in the opposite direction to remove it.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the radial cross-section of the guide member 12 is polygonal, and the bracket assembly 2 has a matching polygonal hole, through which the guide member 12 passes. The cooperation between the polygonal hole and the polygonal guide member 12 can effectively prevent the bracket assembly 2 from rotating, thereby preventing the pressing member 3 from rotating, ensuring that the pressing member 3 can only produce displacement along the Z-axis, and ensuring that the pressing member 3 has a good leveling effect on the No. 1 engineering code 2001 on the cigarette box 200.

[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the bracket assembly 2 includes a mounting plate 21 and a bracket body 22. Several guide members 12 pass through the mounting plate 21, and an elastic member 4 is disposed between the mounting plate 21 and the base body 11. The bracket body 22 is disposed on the mounting plate 21 and extends along the Y-axis. A pressing member 3 is disposed on the bracket body 22. By passing the mounting plate 21 through the guide members 12 and disposing the elastic member 4 between the mounting plate 21 and the base body 11, the bracket assembly 2 can be movably connected to the base assembly 1 along the Z-axis. By extending the bracket body 22 along the Y-axis and disposing the pressing member 3 on the bracket body 22, the pressing member 3 can be positioned above the cigarette box 200 to press and flatten the first engineering code 2001 of the cigarette box 200.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the pressing component 3 is a pressure roller, which is rotatable around the Y-axis and mounted on the support body 22. The contact method between the pressure roller and the surface of the cigarette box 200 is rolling friction. The resistance of rolling friction is much smaller than that of sliding friction, which can reduce wear on the surface of the cigarette box 200 and prevent the No. 1 engineering code 2001 on the surface of the cigarette box 200 from being scratched or damaged due to excessive friction. During the rolling process, the pressure roller can apply pressure to the No. 1 engineering code 2001 more evenly, and better level the No. 1 engineering code 2001 on the cigarette box 200.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the elastic element 4 extends along the Z-axis. Both ends of the elastic element 4 are provided with first hooks 41, and both the base body 11 and the mounting plate 21 are provided with second hooks 5. The two first hooks 41 are respectively hooked onto the two second hooks 5. Through the connection between the first hooks 41 and the second hooks 5, the installation and disassembly of the elastic element 4 become very simple and quick. Installation is completed simply by hooking the first hooks 41 at both ends of the elastic element 4 onto the second hooks 5 on the base body 11 and the mounting plate 21, respectively. Disassembly is completed simply by unhooking the first hooks 41, reducing the time and labor intensity of installation and disassembly.

[0054] In this embodiment, the elastic element 4 is a spring.

[0055] This embodiment also provides a merging conveying device, which includes a merging line 100 and a leveling mechanism as described above. The leveling mechanism is located on one side of the merging line 100 along the Y-axis. When the cigarette boxes 200 are conveyed along the X-axis on the merging line 100, the leveling mechanism can process the cigarette boxes 200 in real time, ensuring that the first engineering code 2001 of each cigarette box 200 is leveled when passing through the leveling mechanism, ensuring that the cigarette boxes 200 smoothly pass through the subsequent inspection device.
