Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette packaging machinery technology, specifically to a cigarette pack transport damper and a cigarette pack transport system. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of cigarette packaging, medium-length cigarettes have gradually become popular in my country. To adapt to the needs of different packaging formats, one type of medium-length cigarette pack packaging is vertical. This requires reversing the orientation of the small transparent paper packs, changing them from parallel packs to vertical packaging. Various reversing devices began to be developed in my country. One type, a spiral flipping device, works as follows: the transparent paper pack passes through a beauty container and reaches the spiral flipping device. A pusher pushes the pack into the device, causing it to rotate from parallel packs to a vertical position. The pack is then pushed into the next packaging process. Because the pack is pushed relatively quickly during the flipping process, the pack, under the influence of inertia, impacts the baffle, causing the tobacco at the lit end of the cigarette to sink, affecting the quality of the cigarette. To avoid this quality defect, the equipment must operate at a reduced speed, impacting its efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tobacco pack transport damper and a tobacco pack transport system. The tobacco pack transport damper can decelerate the tobacco pack when it is about to reach the inflection point, prevent the tobacco pack from having a hard impact with the baffle, and avoid the quality defect of the tobacco shreds sinking at the lit end of the cigarette.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:
[0005] On the one hand, this utility model provides a tobacco pack transport damper, including: a bracket, a screw, a spring, a damping block, a movable block, a baffle, and a magnet;
[0006] The top of the bracket has a through hole for cooperating with the screw. The top of the screw is provided with a limiting platform. The screw passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the damping block at its bottom end. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the screw, with one end abutting against the lower surface of the bracket and the other end abutting against the upper surface of the damping block.
[0007] The movable block is hinged to the side of the damping block, and the baffle is fixedly connected to the side of the movable block away from the damping block. The magnet is installed on the side of the movable block that is hinged to the damping block and is lower than the damping block in vertical height. The movable block can approach the damping block under the combined action of gravity and magnet attraction.
[0008] The cigarette pack is first transported into the cigarette pack transport damper in a direction parallel to the baffle. The damping block restricts the vertical movement of the cigarette pack, and the baffle restricts the horizontal movement of the cigarette pack. The cigarette pack is then transported out in a direction perpendicular to the baffle. During the transport process, the baffle is pushed, which in turn pushes the movable block to rotate. When the cigarette pack exceeds the limit position blocked by the baffle, the baffle rebounds under the combined action of gravity and magnetic attraction, restricting the movement of the next cigarette pack.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a pin. A groove is provided on one side of the damping block, and through holes are provided in the two opposite grooves of the groove. A through hole is provided on the side of the movable block. The pin passes through one through hole in the side wall of the groove, the through hole inside the movable block, and the other through hole in the side wall of the groove in sequence, so as to hinge the damping block and the movable block together.
[0010] Furthermore, the movable block has a symmetrical structure, with the projection of the half closest to the damping block along the plane of symmetry being a semicircle, and the through hole and the semicircle being concentric circles.
[0011] Furthermore, the baffle is fixedly connected to the movable block by screws.
[0012] On the other hand, this utility model provides a cigarette pack transportation system, including the aforementioned cigarette pack transportation damper.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes an input guide rail and an output guide rail, which are perpendicularly connected to form a right-angle guide rail, and are set at the bottom of the tobacco pack transport damper. The tobacco pack transport damper is located at the junction of the input guide rail and the output guide rail, and the baffle is perpendicular to the output guide rail.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a side brush, which is set on the side of the tobacco pack transport damper, located at the end of the input guide rail.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a push rod, which is set at the starting point of the output guide rail.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0017] The tobacco pack transport damper and tobacco pack transport system provided by this utility model, by setting a damping block, a movable block and a baffle, wherein the movable block is hinged to the damping block and the baffle is fixedly connected to the movable block, the damping block can restrict the vertical movement of the tobacco pack and the baffle can restrict the horizontal movement of the tobacco pack, preventing the tobacco pack from having a hard impact on the side of the transport guide rail, and greatly reducing the probability of the tobacco ends of the cigarette sticks inside the tobacco pack sinking while ensuring efficiency.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] This embodiment provides a tobacco package transport damper, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0023] On the one hand, this utility model provides a cigarette pack transport damper, including: a bracket 2, a screw 1, a spring 3, a damping block 5, a movable block 6, a baffle 7, and a magnet 9;
[0024] The top of the bracket 2 has a through hole for cooperating with the screw 1. The top of the screw 1 is provided with a limiting platform. The screw 1 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the damping block 5 at its bottom end. The spring 3 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 1, with one end abutting against the lower surface of the bracket 2 and the other end abutting against the upper surface of the damping block 5. When the cigarette pack 10 moves under the damping block 5, the damping block 5 rises under the pressure of the cigarette pack 10, and the spring 3 is compressed, providing a reaction force to restrict the vertical movement of the cigarette pack 10.
[0025] The movable block 6 is hinged to the side of the damping block 5. A groove is provided on one side of the damping block 5. Two opposite grooves of the groove have through holes. A through-hole pin 4 is provided on the side of the movable block 6. The pin 4 passes through one through hole in the side wall of the groove, the through hole inside the movable block 6, and the other through hole in the side wall of the groove in sequence, hinged to the damping block 5 and the movable block 6. The movable block 6 has a symmetrical structure. The projection of the half closest to the damping block 5 along the plane of symmetry is a semicircle. The through hole and the semicircle are concentric circles. When the movable block 6 rotates about the pin 4, the semi-cylindrical structure allows the movable block 6 to move smoothly.
[0026] The baffle 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable block 6 away from the damping block 5 by screws 8. The magnet 9 is installed on the side of the movable block 6 that is hinged to the damping block 5, and is lower than the damping block 5 in vertical height. The movable block 6 can approach the damping block 5 under the combined action of gravity and the attraction of the magnet 9.
[0027] The cigarette pack 10 is first transported into the cigarette pack transport damper in a direction parallel to the baffle 7. The damping block 5 restricts the vertical movement of the cigarette pack 10, and the baffle 7 restricts the horizontal movement of the cigarette pack 10. The cigarette pack 10 is then transported out in a direction perpendicular to the baffle 7. During the transport process, the baffle 7 is pushed, which in turn pushes the movable block 6 to rotate. When the cigarette pack 10 exceeds the limit position blocked by the baffle 7, the baffle 7 rebounds under the combined action of gravity and the attraction of the magnet 9 and approaches the damping block, restricting the movement of the next cigarette pack 10. It can also divide the cigarette packs, so that the cigarette packs 10 are transported in an orderly manner, and the probability of the tobacco ends of the cigarette sticks inside the cigarette pack box sinking is greatly reduced.
