Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cigarette packaging equipment, specifically relating to a high-level horizontal collection machine for cigarette packs. Background Technology
[0002] The YF611A high-level horizontal cigarette collector is a device that collects cigarette cartons from the upstream packaging machine and transports them to the downstream machine. The entire cigarette carton conveying system is called the YF611A cigarette carton conveying system, and it is an auxiliary line connecting the upstream machine and the downstream sealing machine. Under normal circumstances, the high-level horizontal cigarette collector pushes the collected cigarette cartons out of the cigarette carton conveying channel through the cigarette pusher. Because the cigarette pusher is made of stainless steel and is circular, it makes line contact with the side of the cigarette cartons, directly causing damage to the side of the cigarette cartons closest to the pusher, and damaging the small boxes inside the cartons.
[0003] Two common situations arise during production: First, defective cigarette packs can deform and damage both ends of the cigarette-pulling rod assembly, causing one end to tilt upwards and the other to droop downwards when installed on the timing belt, making complete correction impossible and necessitating replacement with spare parts. Second, timing belts are prone to deformation after prolonged use. During cigarette extrusion, because the cigarette-pulling rod is fixed to two timing belts, uneven stress can easily cause one end of either belt to tear or deform, and the timing belt positioning block to deform or break irreparably. When equipment malfunctions, the cigarette-pulling rod assembly and timing belt need to be replaced. Replacing the timing belt requires disassembling the high-level horizontal collector, and the repair and replacement process takes more than four hours. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-level transverse cigarette collection machine to solve the problems of damage to cigarettes caused by direct contact between the cigarette pusher of the collection machine and the cigarettes in the current production process, which affects the quality of the process, and the difficulty in replacing the synchronous belt due to deformation and aging during use.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application employs the following technical solution:

The rectangular part has two mounting holes, and the side of the vertical plate of one of the fixing blocks has two threaded holes.
[0011] Furthermore, the detection plate has a rectangular plate structure and mounting holes corresponding to the two threaded holes are provided on the detection plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the shock-absorbing buffer strip has a hollow section in the middle.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are merely exemplary and can only be used to explain and illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the technical solution of this utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application relates to an improved design for the YF611A cigarette bar collector. The cigarette bar collector works by conveying cigarette bars via two synchronous belts, and then using a pusher rod to pull the cigarette bars out of the cigarette bar conveying channel. The improvement in this application is that the pusher rod is removed and no longer needed.
[0026] This application relates to a high-level transverse cigarette collection machine, including a cigarette-dispensing device and a synchronous belt main drive shaft. The synchronous belt is sleeved on the synchronous belt main drive shaft, and the cigarette-dispensing device is mounted on the synchronous belt. The synchronous belt involved in this application is a conventional two conveyor belts, which are driven synchronously by the synchronous belt main drive shaft to transport cigarettes.
[0027] The cigarette-dispensing device of this application includes two fixed blocks 1, a detection plate 2, and a shock-absorbing buffer strip. The two fixed blocks 1 are respectively set on two synchronous belts, the detection plate is installed on the side of one of the fixed blocks, and the shock-absorbing buffer strip is installed on the side of the fixed block facing the cigarette.
[0028] The two fixing blocks 1 of this application have the same structure. They are both L-shaped fixing blocks, including a vertical plate 11 and an integrally connected horizontal plate 12. Two vertically elongated holes 15 are provided on the vertical plate. The horizontal plate is composed of a rectangular part connected to the vertical plate and an isosceles trapezoidal part away from the vertical plate. Two mounting holes 13 are provided on the rectangular part. Two threaded holes 14 are provided on the side of the vertical plate of one of the fixing blocks.
[0029] The L-shaped fixing block is installed 1mm away from the edge of the timing belt to prevent the friction between the L-shaped fixing block and the edge of the timing belt pulley during long-distance transmission of the timing belt in normal production, which would generate iron filings and cause false detections in the national inspection.
[0030] In this application, the detection plate 2 is a rectangular plate structure, and the detection plate is provided with mounting holes 21 corresponding to two threaded holes 14, which are locked to the fixing block by two M4×10mm screws.
[0031] In this application, a shock-absorbing and buffering sealing strip with dimensions of 40mm × 18.5mm × 9mm and a hollow arc of approximately 4mm and a thickness of 2.5mm is affixed to the end face of the fixing block. The cigarette-pushing rod is discarded, and the direct contact between the rod and the cigarette pack is replaced by indirect contact between the fixing block and the cigarette pack. Line contact is changed to surface contact, and direct, rigid metal contact is changed to flexible contact. This avoids the phenomenon where the upward force of the cigarette-pushing rod during cigarette squeezing becomes a lever that pries the fixing plate, causing the synchronous belt to tear and the positioning block to deform. When defective cigarette packs enter the transverse collector's conveyor channel, the contact between the fixing block and the cigarette pack causes squeezing. The gap in the sealing strip acts as a buffer against the impact, and the extended fixing block also provides normal support, preventing damage to the fixing block, deformation of the positioning block, and tearing of the synchronous belt. This avoids complete damage to the cigarette pack while providing cushioning and shock absorption, offering buffer protection for the fixing block, synchronous belt, and cigarette pack.
[0032] In this application, the synchronous belt main drive shaft includes a first main drive shaft 3, a second main drive shaft 4, and a clamp 5 connecting the first main drive shaft and the second main drive shaft, and a gap is maintained between the first main drive shaft and the second main drive shaft through which the synchronous belt passes.
[0033] In this application, the clamp includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp. The main structure of both the upper clamp and the lower clamp is semi-circular, and the upper clamp and the lower clamp are hinged to one side. A threaded hole is provided on the other side of the lower clamp, and a mounting hole corresponding to the threaded hole is provided on the other side of the upper clamp.
[0034] In this application, the clamp includes an upper clamp and a lower clamp. The main structure of both the upper clamp and the lower clamp is semi-circular. Positioning keys are provided on both sides of the lower clamp, and positioning holes corresponding to the positioning keys are provided on both sides of the upper clamp.
[0035] When the timing belt of the cigarette pusher assembly experiences normal wear or abnormal damage, it is not necessary to completely disassemble the high-level transverse cigarette collector. Simply open the clamp in the middle of the redesigned drive shaft, remove the locating key, and the timing belt can be removed from the drive shaft. The timing belt passes directly through the gap in the middle of the drive shaft clamp, with one end installed on the drive pulley shaft. To remove the driven pulley: remove the two M8×120mm adjusting locking screws, replace the timing belt, and adjust the locking screws. Ensure the timing belt is parallel and has consistent tension. Adjust the mechanical position of the timing belt, and install the protective cover to complete the timing belt replacement. After replacing the timing belt, install the timing belt pulley shaft locating key and lock the timing belt pulley shaft with the clamp using six M5×20mm locking screws.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
