[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette machinery and equipment technology, and more specifically, to a cigarette pack folding and forming device. Background Technology

[0002] The ZB45 hard-pack packaging machine mainly completes the forming of small cigarette packs on wheel 5. When the cigarette pack is output from the seventh station of wheel 5 into wheel 6, the two outer long sides and the outer folded edge of the top cover are folded by the top and bottom folding plates installed on the channel from wheel 5 to wheel 6. When the cigarette pack enters wheel 6, all the folding processes of the small cigarette pack are completed.

[0003] However, when the cigarette pack passes through the folding plate, the wide upper and lower folding plates cannot properly fold the sides of the cigarette pack, resulting in poor folding quality, high consumption of auxiliary materials, and unstable product quality.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a cigarette pack folding and forming device has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide a new technical solution for a cigarette pack folding and forming device.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a cigarette pack folding and forming device is provided, comprising: an upper folding plate, a lower folding plate, a push plate, and an adjustment component;

[0007] Both the upper folding plate and the lower folding plate are mounted on the packaging machine frame, and there is a conveying channel between the upper folding plate and the lower folding plate. The height of the conveying channel is equal to the width of the cigarette pack. The pusher plate is used to push the cigarette pack to be folded into the conveying channel so that the cigarette pack to be folded is squeezed and folded by the upper folding plate and the lower folding plate.

[0008] The adjustment component is disposed on the lower folding plate and is used to adjust the distance between the lower folding plate and the upper folding plate.

[0009] Optionally, the lower folding plate is provided with a plurality of grooves evenly spaced along the length of the lower folding plate;

[0010] The adjustment assembly includes a connecting block and multiple rotating plates. The connecting block is rotatably connected to the lower folding plate, and the multiple rotating plates are respectively connected to the connecting block. The rotating plates are located above the groove.

[0011] Optionally, the adjusting assembly further includes a spring, the first end of which is connected to the bottom of the rotating plate, and the second end of which is connected to the bottom of the groove.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom of the groove is provided with a mounting hole, the rotating plate is provided with a connecting hole, and the two ends of the spring are respectively disposed in the mounting hole and the connecting hole.

[0013] Optionally, the lower folding plate is provided with rotation holes at both ends;

[0014] The adjustment assembly also includes a rotating rod that passes through the connecting block, and both ends of the rotating rod are rotatably connected to the rotating hole.

[0015] Optionally, the upper folding plate includes a fixing block and a support plate. The first end of the support plate is fixed to the packaging machine frame, and the second end of the support plate is perpendicularly connected to the fixing block.

[0026] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0027] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0028] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a cigarette pack folding and forming device, which includes: an upper folding plate 1, a lower folding plate 2, a push plate 3, and an adjustment component 4.

[0030] Both the upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2 are mounted on the packaging machine frame, and there is a conveying channel 5 between the upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2. The height of the conveying channel 5 is equal to the width of the cigarette pack. The push plate 3 is used to push the cigarette pack 7 to be folded into the conveying channel 5 so that the cigarette pack 7 to be folded is squeezed and folded into shape by the upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2.

[0031] Adjustment component 4 is set on the lower folding plate 2 and is used to adjust the distance between the lower folding plate 2 and the upper folding plate 1.

[0032] Specifically, when the cigarette pack 7 to be folded has not entered the conveying channel 5, the distance between the lower folding plate 2 and the upper folding plate 1 is the smallest. When all the cigarette packs 7 to be folded have entered the conveying channel 5, the distance between the lower folding plate 2 and the upper folding plate 1 is the largest. The maximum distance is the distance between the upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2.

[0033] In use, the cigarette pack to be folded is conveyed to the front of the pusher plate 3. At this time, the pusher plate 3 acts on the cigarette pack to be folded, pushing it into the folding plate conveying channel 5. Since the distance between the lower folding plate 2 and the upper folding plate 1 is the smallest at this time, the bottom of the cigarette pack to be folded contacts the adjusting component 4 first, and the cigarette pack to be folded exerts a force on the adjusting component 4, causing it to move towards the lower folding plate 2. At the same time, the adjusting component 4 and the upper folding plate 1 act on the cardboard on both sides of the cigarette pack to be folded, squeezing the cardboard on both sides of the cigarette pack to be folded.

[0034] As the pusher plate 3 continues to push forward, the adjusting component 4 is pressed by the cigarette pack to be folded until it overlaps with the lower folding plate 2. At this time, the gap between the lower folding plate 2 and the upper folding plate 1 is at its maximum. The upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2 act simultaneously on the cardboard on both sides of the cigarette pack 7 to be folded, so that the cardboard on both sides of the cigarette pack 7 to be folded is folded and adheres to the side wall of the cigarette pack.

[0035] This utility model is achieved by setting both the upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2 on the frame of the packaging machine, and a conveying channel 5 between the upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2. The pusher plate 3 pushes the cigarette pack 7 to be folded into the conveying channel 5 so that the cigarette pack 7 to be folded is squeezed and folded by the upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2; and the adjusting component 4 is set on the lower folding plate 2. In use, the cigarette pack to be folded is conveyed to the front of the push plate 3. At this time, the push plate 3 acts on the cigarette pack to be folded, pushing it into the folding plate conveying channel 5. Simultaneously, the adjusting component 4 contacts the bottom of the cigarette pack to be folded, and the upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2 act on the cardboard on both sides of the cigarette pack 7 to be folded. As the push plate 3 continues to push forward, the adjusting component 4 gradually increases the distance between the lower folding plate 2 and the upper folding plate 1, so that the cardboard on both sides of the cigarette pack 7 to be folded is folded and adhered to the side wall of the cigarette pack. This utility model can avoid the cigarette pack jumping during the folding process, improve the stability of the folding process, and reduce the problem of poor cigarette pack folding.

[0036] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack folding and forming device of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lower folding plate 2 is provided with a plurality of grooves 21 evenly spaced along the length of the lower folding plate 2.

[0037] The adjustment component 4 includes a connecting block 41 and multiple rotating plates 42. The connecting block 41 is rotatably connected to the lower folding plate 2, and the multiple rotating plates 42 are respectively connected to the connecting block 41. The rotating plates 42 are located above the groove 21.

[0038] Specifically, when the rotating plate 42 rotates into the groove 21, the distance between the lower folding plate 2 and the upper folding plate 1 is at its maximum.

[0039] This invention rotatably connects the connecting block 41 to the lower folding plate 2, and connects multiple rotating plates 42 to the connecting block 41 respectively, with the rotating plates 42 positioned above the groove 21. By moving the rotating plates 42 above the lower folding plate 2 and inside the groove 21, the distance between the lower folding plate 2 and the upper folding plate 1 can be changed, allowing the cigarette pack 7 to be folded to contact the rotating plates 42 first. When the cigarette pack 7 is put into the conveying channel 5, it can be clamped by the rotating plates 42 and the upper folding plate 1, avoiding the problem of poor folding caused by the large gap between the upper folding plate 1 and the lower folding plate 2.

[0040] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack folding and forming device of this utility model, the adjusting component 4 further includes a spring, the first end of which is connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 42, and the second end of which is connected to the bottom of the groove 21.

[0041] Specifically, when there is no cigarette pack 7 to be folded in the conveying channel 5, the top of the rotating plate 42 is higher than the top of the lower folding plate 2, and at this time, the spring is in a compressed state.

[0042] When the cigarette pack 7 to be folded enters the conveying channel 5, the cardboard on both sides of the cigarette pack 7 contacts the rotating plate 42 and the upper folding plate 1 first. At this time, the cigarette pack to be folded applies a force to the rotating plate 42, causing the rotating plate 42 to move towards the lower folding plate 2, thus compressing the spring. After the cigarette pack 7 is formed and removed from the conveying channel 5, the spring recovers its elastic deformation, causing the rotating plate 42 to move towards the upper folding plate 1, thereby returning the rotating plate 42 to its initial position, improving the ease of use.

[0043] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack folding and forming device of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the groove 21 is provided with a mounting hole 22, and the rotating plate 42 is provided with a connecting hole 43. The two ends of the spring are respectively located in the mounting hole 22 and the connecting hole 43.

[0044] Specifically, the diameter of the mounting hole 22 is greater than the diameter of the spring, and the diameter of the connecting hole 43 is equal to or greater than the diameter of the spring.

[0045] This invention provides a connecting hole 43 on the rotating plate 42, so that the two ends of the spring are respectively placed in the mounting hole 22 and the connecting hole 43. This allows the spring to retract into the mounting hole 22 when compressed, ensuring that the rotating plate 42 can be squeezed into the interior of the groove 21.

[0046] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack folding and forming device of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower folding plate 2 has rotating holes 23 at both ends.

[0047] The adjustment assembly 4 also includes a rotating rod 44, which passes through the connecting block 41, and both ends of the rotating rod 44 are rotatably connected to the rotating hole 23.

[0048] This invention achieves stability in operation by having a rotating rod 44 pass through a connecting block 41 and rotatably connect both ends of the rotating rod 44 to the rotating hole 23. This allows the rotating rod 44 to stably drive the rotating plate 42 to rotate.

[0049] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack folding and forming device of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper folding plate 1 includes a fixing block 11 and a support plate 12. The first end of the support plate 12 is fixed on the packaging machine frame, and the second end of the support plate 12 is vertically connected to the fixing block 11. The connection between the second end of the support plate 12 and the fixing block 11 is rounded.

[0050] This utility model fixes the first end of the support plate 12 to the frame of the packaging machine, and the second end of the support plate 12 is vertically connected to the fixing block 11. The connection between the second end of the support plate 12 and the fixing block 11 is rounded, so that the cardboard on both sides of the cigarette pack 7 to be folded can be smoothly transitioned without damaging the cardboard on both sides of the cigarette pack 7 to be folded.

[0051] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack folding and forming device of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack folding and forming device also includes a cigarette pusher 6 and a drive motor. The drive motor is mounted on the packaging machine frame. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the first end of the cigarette pusher 6, and the second end of the cigarette pusher 6 is connected to the push plate 3.

[0052] This invention improves work efficiency by connecting the output shaft of the drive motor to the first end of the push rod 6 and the second end of the push rod 6 to the push plate 3, and by driving the push rod 6 and the push plate 3 to move through the drive motor.

[0053] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
