Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette lifting equipment, specifically, to a double-spiral cigarette lifting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the transmission system of traditional continuous cigarette conveyor elevators mainly consists of four inner and outer transmission chains as conveyor chains. Two special unidirectional curved chains are connected by aluminum profiles to form a load platform. The load platform is connected to the inner and outer conveyor chains by two long and short connecting rods respectively. The load platform is evenly arranged on the conveyor chains according to the conveying spacing requirements, forming a four-chain circulating continuous conveying system. However, this type of elevator has drawbacks such as large space occupation, poor load-bearing capacity, slow linear speed, and low lifting efficiency.

[0003] US Patent Application No. 5413213A discloses an apparatus for conveying rod-shaped articles from a first station to a second station in the tobacco processing industry. The apparatus includes two coaxially arranged vertical spiral tracks, a horizontal track, and a vertical track. This apparatus can be used as a variable-capacity, first-in-first-out (FIFO) reservoir for rod-shaped articles. A first conveyor receives articles at the first station, and a second conveyor receives articles from the first conveyor and transfers them to the second conveyor. However, the disclosed structure of this apparatus for conveying rod-shaped articles from a first station to a second station in the tobacco processing industry, due to the use of a single loop conveyor belt for reciprocating winding, forms a dual-channel lifting device. This limitation restricts the conveying efficiency to only one channel for upward transport and the other for downward transport, thus failing to improve the overall efficiency of cigarette transport. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the efficiency bottlenecks, spatial conflicts, and complex transportation issues inherent in traditional reciprocating or continuous lifting equipment in densely packed multi-lane layouts, the technical solution adopted in this utility model is: a double-spiral smoke lift, comprising a column support mechanism, an outer conveying mechanism, and an inner conveying mechanism.

[0005] The middle part of the inner conveying mechanism is spirally wound around the column support mechanism;

[0006] The middle part of the outer conveying mechanism and the middle part of the inner conveying mechanism are spliced ​​together along the radial direction of the column support mechanism, and the inner conveying mechanism and the outer conveying mechanism operate independently.

[0007] The ends of the inner conveying mechanism and the outer conveying mechanism are respectively provided with rotating channels, forming an inner annular conveying channel and an outer annular conveying channel, so as to realize the continuous upward, downward or alternating transport of cigarettes in the vertical direction along the inner annular conveying channel and the outer annular conveying channel.

[0008] Beneficial effects: It enables continuous upward, downward, and alternating upward and downward transport of cigarettes in the vertical direction, thereby expanding the transportation methods of cigarettes, significantly increasing throughput, and meeting diverse transportation requirements.

[0009] Based on the above, the rotary channel includes two sets of horizontal rotary channels and two sets of vertical rotary channels, and the horizontal rotary channels are connected to the lower end of the vertical rotary channels;

[0010] One set of the horizontal and vertical rotary channels is used to connect the upper and lower ends of the inner conveying mechanism, and the other set of the horizontal and vertical rotary channels is used to connect the upper and lower ends of the outer conveying mechanism.

[0011] Beneficial effects: It enables circular transportation, forming a closed-loop transportation system.

[0012] Based on the above, the inner conveying mechanism includes an inner conveying chain, an inner conveying chain plate, a second tail wheel assembly, a second drive shaft, and a second drive motor. The inner conveying chain plate is disposed on the inner conveying chain, and the inner conveying chain is rotatably engaged with the second drive shaft.

[0013] The middle part of the inner conveyor chain plate is spirally wound around the column support mechanism, the bottom of the inner conveyor chain plate is flipped by the second tail wheel assembly to form a set of the horizontal rotary channels, and the upper part of the inner conveyor chain plate forms a set of the vertical rotary channels.

[0014] The second drive motor is connected to the second drive shaft. The second drive motor drives the second drive shaft to rotate, thereby driving the inner conveyor chain plate to rotate cyclically.

[0015] Beneficial effect: It gives the inner conveying mechanism a certain degree of flexibility, making it easier to set up the spiral.

[0016] Based on the above, the outer conveying mechanism includes an outer conveying chain, an outer conveying chain plate, a first tail wheel assembly, a first drive shaft, and a first drive motor. The outer conveying chain plate is disposed on the outer conveying chain, and the outer conveying chain is in transmission cooperation with the first drive shaft.

[0017] The middle part of the outer conveyor chain plate is spirally wound around the column support mechanism, and the bottom of the outer conveyor chain plate is flipped by the first tail wheel assembly to form another set of horizontal rotary channels. The upper part of the outer conveyor chain plate forms another set of vertical rotary channels.

[0018] The first drive motor is connected to the first drive shaft. The first drive motor drives the first drive shaft to rotate, thereby driving the outer conveyor chain plate to rotate cyclically.

[0019] Beneficial effect: It gives the outer conveying mechanism a certain degree of flexibility, making it easier to set up the spiral.

[0020] Based on the above, the outer conveying mechanism also includes a side guide plate that is spirally connected to the column support mechanism. The side guide plate is used to support, guide, and protect the cigarette packs during the conveying process.

[0021] Beneficial effect: Prevents cigarettes from falling during transport.

[0022] Based on the above, the column support mechanism includes a central support column, a base, and legs. The base is located at the bottom of the central support column, and the legs are located at the bottom of the base. The central support column is used to support the outer conveying mechanism and the inner conveying mechanism.

[0023] Based on the above, the first drive motor and the second drive motor are respectively provided with high-position connecting parts. The high-position connecting parts are used to connect and fix the upper end of the outer conveying mechanism and the upper end of the inner conveying mechanism to the high-position conveying device so as to discharge or feed materials at the high-position port.

[0024] The first tail wheel assembly and the second tail wheel assembly are respectively provided with low-position connectors. The low-position connectors are used to connect and fix the lower end of the outer conveying mechanism and the lower end of the inner conveying mechanism to the low-position conveying device so as to discharge or feed material at the low-position port.

[0025] Beneficial effect: It can increase the stability of material feeding and discharging.

[0026] This utility model has substantial features and progress compared to the prior art. Specifically, this utility model provides a double-helix cigarette lifting machine. By analyzing the structure of existing cigarette lifting machines and considering the limitations of their application scenarios, a double-helix cigarette lifting machine was designed. This double-helix cigarette lifting machine adopts two independent and synchronously running spiral tracks, which can realize continuous upward and downward transmission of cigarettes in the vertical direction, as well as alternating upward and downward transportation, thereby expanding the transportation methods of cigarettes, significantly improving throughput, and meeting diverse transportation requirements.

[0027] Meanwhile, the double-helix smoke lift has a compact structure, can fit closely into dense channel layouts, and can directly connect to serve multiple parallel channels in the same vertical plane, thus solving the problems of space constraints, complex transportation, and low efficiency that are difficult to overcome by traditional equipment.
