Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette production equipment, specifically an automatic inkjet coding and positioning fixture for cigarette packaging boxes. Background Technology

[0002] The core purpose of inkjet printing on cigarette packaging boxes is to meet the tobacco industry's special management needs for "full traceability and precise supervision." It is a key means of regulating market order and preventing risks under the national tobacco monopoly system. On the one hand, the inkjet printing content typically includes unique identification information (such as the manufacturer's code, production date, batch number, and distribution code), enabling full-chain tracking from cigarette production, warehousing, and logistics to retail terminals. In the event of quality problems or market anomalies, the problematic link can be quickly located, reducing the scope of risk spread. On the other hand, this labeling effectively prevents counterfeit and substandard cigarettes from entering the market—the inkjet printing information on legitimate cigarette packaging boxes is connected to the tobacco industry's regulatory system, allowing for verification of authenticity through technical means. It also curbs "cross-regional sales" (i.e., distributors illegally selling across regions), ensuring the normal price system and sales order in each regional market, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of manufacturers, distributors, and consumers.

[0003] When manually using a handheld inkjet printer to print codes on cigarette packaging boxes, the printing position often deviates from the preset marking area of ​​the packaging box due to differences in hand stability, posture, and judgment of the box's position (such as vertical offset or horizontal misalignment), and may even print on the folded edge or damaged area of ​​the box, making it difficult to identify the information during subsequent traceability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic inkjet coding and positioning fixture for cigarette packaging boxes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, an automatic inkjet coding positioning fixture for cigarette packaging boxes is provided, comprising a positioning fixture body, which is clamped and fixed on the cigarette packaging box. The positioning fixture body includes positioning tracks covering the surface of the cigarette packaging box, and the positioning tracks are configured as two sets. Inkjet jigs are installed on both sets of positioning tracks, and an inkjet positioning space is formed between the two sets of inkjet jigs. A card holder A is installed at one end of the positioning track, and a card holder B is installed at the other end of the positioning track.

[0006] Furthermore, the two sets of positioning tracks are arranged in parallel, and positioning grooves are opened on the inner side of both sets of positioning tracks. At the same time, extension seats and positioning seats are inserted into the interior of the positioning grooves respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, an adjustment hole is provided at the upper part of the end of the positioning track away from the coding fixture, and an adjustment stud is inserted inside the adjustment hole. At the same time, an adjustment nut is screwed and fixed to the outside of the adjustment stud, and an extension seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjustment stud.

[0008] Furthermore, the depth of the extension seat inserted into the positioning groove is adjusted by adjusting the adjusting hole, adjusting stud and adjusting nut. A retainer A is fixedly installed at the end of the extension seat, and both retainer A and retainer B are U-shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, the coding fixture includes a positioning seat, a docking plate, a U-shaped hole, a movable piece, a locking nut, a locking stud, and a device holder. The positioning seat is fixedly connected to the docking plate at its end. The docking plate has two sets of U-shaped holes, and a locking stud is inserted inside the U-shaped hole. A locking nut is screwed to the outside of the locking stud.

[0010] Furthermore, a movable piece is fixedly provided at the bottom of the locking stud, and the movable piece is installed in a slot opened at the bottom of the docking plate, while the docking plate is "L" shaped.

[0011] Furthermore, a device holder is fixedly provided at the end of the movable piece, and the device holder is "L" shaped. At the same time, the distance between the movable piece and the docking plate is adjusted by a U-shaped hole, a locking nut, and a locking stud.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This solution involves attaching the inkjet printer to the inkjet printer positioning space. The inkjet printer is held by hand, and the positioning seat slides within the positioning groove, allowing the inkjet printer to move linearly along the positioning track. This replaces the manual method of manually holding the inkjet printer to print codes on cigarette packaging boxes. It is unaffected by hand stability, posture, or differences in judging the box's position, ensuring accurate coding of cigarette packaging boxes along a straight line. This avoids problems such as inkjet printing position deviation and blurry characters caused by hand shaking when manually holding the inkjet printer, while ensuring the straightness of the inkjet trajectory and the integrity of the inkjet information, further improving coding quality and operational stability.

[0014] 2. This solution allows for adjustment of the distance between card holders A and B via an extension seat, adjustment hole, adjustment stud, and adjustment nut, adapting to cigarette packaging boxes of different widths. This enhances the equipment's versatility and applicability, eliminating the need for separate positioning devices for packaging boxes of varying widths. When the inkjet printer moves laterally, it can slide within the positioning slot via the positioning seat, enabling the printer to perform coding while moving linearly. By flexibly adjusting the spacing between the two sets of opposing device card holders, it can accommodate inkjet printers of different sizes and specifications, eliminating the need for dedicated clamping structures for different inkjet printers and greatly improving the positioning equipment's compatibility and applicability.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an automatic inkjet coding positioning fixture for cigarette packaging boxes, including a positioning fixture body 100, which is clamped and fixed on a cigarette packaging box 200. The positioning fixture body 100 includes a positioning track 1 covering the surface of the cigarette packaging box 200, and the positioning track 1 is configured as two sets. At the same time, inkjet coding fixtures 4 are installed on both sets of positioning tracks 1, and an inkjet printer positioning space is formed between the two sets of inkjet coding fixtures 4. A card holder A23 is installed at one end of the positioning track 1, and a card holder B3 is installed at the other end of the positioning track 1.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, two sets of positioning rails 1 are arranged in parallel, and positioning grooves 11 are provided on the inner side of both sets of positioning rails 1. Meanwhile, extension seats 2 and positioning seats 41 are respectively inserted into the interior of the positioning grooves 11.

[0024] An adjustment hole 20 is provided at the upper part of the end of the positioning track 1 away from the inkjet fixture 4, and an adjustment stud 21 is inserted inside the adjustment hole 20. At the same time, an adjustment nut 22 is screwed and fixed to the outside of the adjustment stud 21, and an extension seat 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjustment stud 21.

[0025] The depth of the extension seat 2 inserted into the positioning groove 11 is adjusted by adjusting the adjusting hole 20, adjusting the adjusting stud 21 and adjusting the adjusting nut 22. The end of the extension seat 2 is fixedly installed with a card holder A23, and both card holder A23 and card holder B3 are U-shaped.

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown: The two sets of inkjet jigs 4 form an inkjet printer positioning space that can stably engage the inkjet printer. Combined with the sliding design of the positioning seat 41 within the positioning groove 11, this allows the inkjet printer to move stably in a straight line along the positioning track 1, completely replacing the manual handheld inkjet printer operation. This effectively avoids the problems of large inkjet printing position deviations, blurred characters, or missing characters caused by insufficient hand stability and inconsistent movements during manual handheld operation. It achieves accurate inkjet printing on the cigarette packaging box 200 along a straight line, ensuring the stability of inkjet printing quality and information recognition. Simultaneously, the positioning device can be securely fixed to the cigarette packaging box 200 via the mounting brackets A23 and B3. The side surface, and the distance between the card holder A23 and the card holder B3 can be flexibly adjusted by means of the extension seat 2, the adjustment hole 20, the adjustment stud 21 and the adjustment nut 22, so that the equipment can be adapted to cigarette packaging boxes 200 of different widths, improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment, without the need to configure positioning equipment separately for packaging boxes of different widths; in addition, this design also reduces the repetitive movements and fatigue of manual hand-held inkjet printing, and the linear motion inkjet printing mode is more efficient than manual inkjet printing operation, which can adapt to batch inkjet printing needs, while reducing the risk of missed or wrong inkjet printing due to human inattention, further ensuring the accuracy of subsequent traceability information.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the coding fixture 4 includes a positioning seat 41, a docking plate 42, a U-shaped hole 43, a movable piece 44, a locking nut 45, a locking stud 46, and a device holder 47. The positioning seat 41 is fixedly connected to the docking plate 42 at its end. The docking plate 42 has two sets of U-shaped holes 43, and the locking stud 46 is inserted into the inside of the U-shaped hole 43. The locking nut 45 is screwed to the outside of the locking stud 46.

[0028] A movable piece 44 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the locking stud 46. The movable piece 44 is installed in a slot opened at the bottom of the docking plate 42, and the docking plate 42 is in the shape of an "L".

[0029] The movable piece 44 is fixedly provided with a device holder 47, which is L-shaped. The distance between the movable piece 44 and the docking plate 42 is adjusted by a U-shaped hole 43, a locking nut 45 and a locking stud 46.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown: The distance between the movable piece 44 and the docking plate 42 is adjusted via the U-shaped hole 43, the locking nut 45, and the locking stud 46. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the two sets of opposing device holders 47, accommodating inkjet printers of different sizes. The inkjet printer is clamped between the two sets of device holders 47 and locked by the locking nut 45 and the locking stud 46. When the inkjet printer moves laterally, it can slide within the positioning groove 11 via the positioning seat 41, allowing the inkjet printer to perform coding while moving linearly. By flexibly adjusting the distance between the two sets of opposing device holders 47, inkjet printers of different sizes and specifications can be accommodated, eliminating the need for separate dedicated clamping structures for different inkjet printers and greatly improving efficiency. The positioning device ensures compatibility and applicability of the inkjet printer. Furthermore, after the inkjet printer is clamped between the two sets of device holders 47, the locking nut 45 and locking stud 46 ensure the inkjet printer remains stable during lateral movement, preventing offset or shaking due to loose clamping. Combined with the design of the positioning seat 41 slidingly within the positioning groove 11, the inkjet printer can achieve precise linear movement along the positioning groove 11 under stable clamping conditions. This allows for simultaneous uniform linear movement and stable coding, avoiding issues such as inkjet position deviation and blurry characters caused by hand shaking when manually holding the inkjet printer. It also ensures the straightness of the coding trajectory and the integrity of the coding information, further improving coding quality and operational stability.

[0031] Working principle: In actual use, a coding fixture space is formed between the two sets of coding jigs 4. The coding jig can be snapped into the coding jig space. At this time, the coding jig is held by hand. The positioning seat 41 is slidably set inside the positioning groove 11, so that the coding jig can move linearly along the positioning track 1. This replaces the method of manually holding the coding jig to code cigarette packaging boxes. It is not affected by hand stability, standing posture, or difference in judgment of the box position. It completes the accurate coding work of cigarette packaging boxes 200 in a straight line. At the same time, the positioning device is fixed on the upper surface of cigarette packaging box 200 using the card holders A23 and B3. The distance between card holders A23 and B3 can be adjusted by the extension seat 2, adjustment hole 20, adjustment stud 21 and adjustment nut 22 to adapt to cigarette packaging boxes 200 of different widths.
