Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor line side guard technology, specifically to a conveyor line side guard device and a cigarette box conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] After being packaged and sealed by a carton sealing machine, the finished cigarettes are transported to a high-bay warehouse for storage via a carton conveyor line.

[0003] like Figure 3 As shown, because cigarette boxes come in various sizes, when the conveyor line transports smaller cigarette boxes, the fixed width of the conveyor line is too wide relative to the size of that cigarette box. When the cigarette box moves at high speed on the conveyor line, the excessive width of the conveyor line results in a lack of restraint on both sides of the cigarette box. Once the cigarette box makes a high-speed turn at a bend, it will deviate significantly outward from the bend, causing it to deviate severely from the normal conveying range. When the cigarette box deviates from the normal conveying range, it may not be accurately conveyed to the designated position of the downstream equipment, may hinder the normal conveying of subsequent cigarette boxes, and may even collide with the detection device on the conveyor line during subsequent movement, causing the detection device to malfunction.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the smoke box from shifting significantly outwards towards the outside of the bend during transport. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the technical problem in the prior art where the cigarette box deviates significantly from the outside of the turning section during the transportation process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a conveyor line side baffle device, which includes a guide rod, a drive mechanism, an inner baffle, and a hinge structure. The first end of the guide rod can be rotatably connected to the outside of the turning section of the boxed conveyor line through the hinge structure; the end of the guide rod is rotatably connected to the drive mechanism, which is used to rotatably connect to the outside of the turning section of the boxed conveyor line; the guide rod is configured to adapt to the arc shape of the outside of the turning section of the boxed conveyor line, and the inner baffle is used to be set on the inside of the turning section of the boxed conveyor line; wherein, the drive mechanism can drive the guide rod to rotate toward or away from the inner baffle through the hinge structure, so that the guide rod can move to the target position and guide the cigarette box to move within the normal conveying range.

[0007] In some embodiments, the conveyor side baffle includes an outer baffle plate disposed on the outside of the turning section of the boxed conveyor line, the first end of the guide rod being connected to the top of the outer baffle plate by a hinge structure, and a drive mechanism being rotatably mounted on the top of the outer baffle plate.

[0008] In some embodiments, the guide rod is a hollow rod.

[0009] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism is an electric cylinder, the cylinder body of the electric cylinder is rotatably connected to the top surface of the outer baffle, the end of the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder is rotatably connected to the end of the guide rod, and the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder can extend or retract from the cylinder body of the electric cylinder.

[0010] In some embodiments, the top surface of the outer baffle is provided with a mounting plate, and the cylinder body is rotatably connected to the mounting plate by a first stud; wherein, the end of the cylinder body away from the telescopic rod is provided with a mounting block having a first through hole, the mounting plate has a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole, the first stud passes vertically through the first through hole and the second through hole, and its top and bottom ends are respectively axially limited by the first stud.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first stud is a double-ended hexagonal stud with external threads at both ends and a hexagonal shank in the middle. The bottom surface of the mounting block and the top surface of the mounting plate are in contact with the top and bottom surfaces of the hexagonal shank, respectively.

[0012] In some embodiments, the end of the guide rod is provided with a first connecting part, the first connecting part having a vertically penetrating third through hole, the end of the telescopic rod is provided with double earrings, the first connecting part can be connected to the telescopic rod through the double earrings, and the third through hole and the two through holes of the double earrings are aligned and connected by bolts.

[0013] In some embodiments, the hinge structure includes a second connecting part, a second stud, and a threaded blind hole. The second connecting part is located at the beginning of the guide rod and has a vertically penetrating fourth through hole. The threaded blind hole is located on the top surface of the outer baffle. The fourth through hole and the threaded blind hole can be aligned and rotatably connected by the second stud.

[0014] In some embodiments, a bushing is provided at the center of the second stud, and the bushing is located between the outer baffle and the guide rod.

[0015] In another aspect, this utility model provides a cigarette box conveying line, which includes a conveying device and a conveying line side baffle device as described in the above embodiments. The conveying line side baffle device includes a guide rod, a drive mechanism, an inner baffle, and a hinge structure. The first end of the guide rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the turning section of the conveying device through the hinge structure; the end of the guide rod is rotatably connected to the drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism is rotatably connected to the outside of the turning section of the conveying device; the guide rod is configured to be arc-shaped to adapt to the outside of the turning section of the conveying device, and the inner baffle is disposed on the inside of the turning section of the conveying device.

[0016] The above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The guide rod is located near the previous transport section at the turning point of the boxed cigarette conveyor line. The guide rod bends outwards towards the turning point, and its two ends are rotatably mounted on the outside of the turning point via a hinged structure and a drive mechanism. When the width of the boxed cigarette conveyor line is significantly larger than the size of the cigarette boxes being transported, the drive mechanism is activated to adjust the transport range of the cigarette boxes, causing the guide rod to rotate inwards towards the turning point of the boxed cigarette conveyor line under its push. When the width between the guide rod and the inner baffle matches the size of the cigarette boxes being transported, the drive mechanism is closed, fixing the guide rod in its current rotating position to provide auxiliary guidance for the transport of the cigarette boxes. This ensures that the cigarette boxes are arranged sequentially under the action of the guide rod when entering the turning point, allowing them to enter the designated positions in the correct transport range according to their arrangement order. Similarly, when the boxed cigarette conveyor line needs to transport larger cigarette boxes, and the width of the guide rod and the inner baffle is not suitable for the size of that type of cigarette box, the drive mechanism is activated, causing the guide rod to rotate away from the inner baffle under its pull until the width of the guide rod and the inner baffle matches the size of the cigarette box, at which point the drive mechanism is closed. Therefore, this utility model achieves adjustable width between the guide rod and the inner baffle by using a guide rod that can rotate toward or away from the inner baffle, thereby restricting the cigarette box transportation route and enabling the cigarette box to be transported within the normal transportation range, effectively preventing the cigarette box from deviating during transportation in turning sections.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of the utility model described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a conveyor line side baffle device, which includes a guide rod 1, a drive mechanism 2, an inner baffle 5, and a hinge structure. The first end of the guide rod 1 can be rotatably connected to the outside of the turning section of the box conveyor line through the hinge structure; the end of the guide rod 1 is rotatably connected to the drive mechanism 2, which is used to rotatably connect to the outside of the turning section of the box conveyor line; the guide rod 1 is configured to adapt to the arc shape of the outside of the turning section of the box conveyor line, and the inner baffle 5 is used to be set on the inside of the turning section of the box conveyor line; wherein, the drive mechanism 2 can drive the guide rod 1 to rotate toward or away from the inner baffle 5 through the hinge structure, so that the guide rod 1 can move to the target position and guide the cigarette box 6 to move within the normal conveying range 7.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, guide rod 1 is located near the previous transport section at the turning point of the boxed conveyor line. Guide rod 1 bends outwards towards the turning point, and both ends of guide rod 1 are rotatably mounted on the outside of the turning point via a hinged structure and a drive mechanism 2. When the width of the boxed conveyor line is significantly larger than the size of the transported cigarette boxes 6, the drive mechanism 2 is activated to adjust the transport range of the cigarette boxes 6, causing guide rod 1 to rotate towards the inside of the turning point of the boxed conveyor line under its push. When the width between guide rod 1 and the inner baffle 5 matches the size of the transported cigarette boxes 6, the drive mechanism 2 is deactivated, fixing guide rod 1 in its current rotational position to provide auxiliary guidance for the transport of cigarette boxes 6. This ensures that the cigarette boxes 6 are arranged sequentially under the action of guide rod 1 when entering the turning point, allowing them to enter the designated positions in the correct transport range according to their arrangement order. Similarly, when the conveyor line needs to transport a larger cigarette box 6, and the width of the guide rod 1 and the inner baffle 5 is not compatible with the size of the cigarette box 6, the drive mechanism 2 is activated, causing the guide rod 1 to rotate away from the inner baffle 5 under its pull until the width of the guide rod 1 and the inner baffle 5 matches the size of the cigarette box 6, at which point the drive mechanism 2 is deactivated. Therefore, this invention, through the guide rod 1 which can rotate towards or away from the inner baffle 5, achieves adjustable width between the guide rod 1 and the inner baffle 5, thereby restricting the transport route of the cigarette box 6, ensuring that the cigarette box 6 can be transported within the normal transport range, and effectively preventing the cigarette box 6 from deviating during transport in turning sections.
