Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette packaging, and in particular to a device for disassembling trusses for all types of cigarette packs. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the tobacco logistics and warehousing industry, the unpacking, handling, and sorting of cigarette cartons are indispensable and crucial processes. However, due to the wide variety of specifications and sizes of cigarette cartons, traditional manual operations or semi-automated equipment often face problems of low efficiency, poor adaptability, and inflexibility during the unpacking process. Especially when handling cigarette cartons of different specifications, frequent equipment adjustments or tool changes are required, which not only increases operational difficulty and costs but also affects overall operational efficiency.
[0003] With the tobacco industry's increasing demand for automation and intelligence in warehousing and logistics, how to develop a dismantling device capable of efficiently and accurately handling all specifications of cigarette cartons has become a pressing technical challenge for the industry. Existing dismantling equipment often struggles to balance efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility when dealing with different specifications of cigarette cartons, failing to meet the requirements of modern warehousing and logistics systems for efficient and precise operations.
[0004] Therefore, developing an automated unpacking device specifically designed for all types of cigarette cartons, through optimized structural design, improved control precision, and enhanced adaptability, to achieve rapid and accurate unpacking of cigarette cartons, is of great significance for improving the automation level and reducing operating costs in the tobacco logistics and warehousing industry. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, in response to the above problems, this utility model proposes a full-size cigarette truss unpacking device, which solves the technical problem that existing full-size cigarette unpacking devices cannot quickly and accurately complete the cigarette unpacking task.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a full-size cigarette truss unpacking device, comprising a frame and a transverse moving mechanism, a longitudinal moving mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a gripping device below the lifting mechanism, and an output device on one side of the frame. The gripping device includes a support base plate and multiple adsorption units disposed through the support base plate. Each adsorption unit has a conical adsorption port at one end and an interface end connected to an external vacuum generator at the other end. A support base plate is disposed below the support base plate, and a telescopic cylinder is disposed on the support base plate. The piston rod of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the support base plate. Multiple bottom plate through holes are opened on the support base plate, and each adsorption unit passes through the corresponding bottom plate through hole. When each adsorption unit is in a retracted state, the conical adsorption port engages with the bottom plate through hole. The gripping device is used to transfer the stacked cigarette trusses to the output device.
[0007] Furthermore, the lateral movement mechanism includes a lateral guide rail, a lateral slider slidably connected to the lateral guide rail, and a lateral drive motor that drives the lateral slider to move along the lateral guide rail. The lateral drive motor is connected to the lateral slider through a first transmission component, which is a synchronous belt mechanism or a lead screw and nut mechanism.
[0008] Furthermore, the longitudinal moving mechanism includes a longitudinal guide rail, a longitudinal slider slidably connected to the longitudinal guide rail, and a longitudinal drive motor that drives the longitudinal slider to move along the longitudinal guide rail. The longitudinal guide rail is fixedly installed on the transverse slider, and the longitudinal drive motor is connected to the longitudinal slider through a second transmission assembly, which is a synchronous belt mechanism or a lead screw and nut mechanism.
[0009] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the longitudinal slider.
[0010] Furthermore, a steering mechanism is provided at the lower end of the lifting mechanism. The steering mechanism includes a rotating disk rotatably disposed at the lower end of the lifting mechanism and a rotating servo motor disposed at the lower end of the lifting mechanism. The rotating servo motor is connected to the rotating disk through a gear mechanism. The gripping device is disposed at the lower end of the rotating disk.
[0011] Furthermore, a buffer pad is provided below the supporting base plate. The buffer pad is made of rubber or sponge. The buffer pad has buffer through holes that correspond to the base plate through holes on the supporting base plate. When the conical adsorption port of the adsorption unit is in the contracted state, it abuts against the buffer through holes on the buffer pad and engages with the base plate through holes of the supporting base plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the adsorption unit is made of rubber or silicone, and a reset spring is provided inside the adsorption unit.
[0013] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This full-size cigarette truss unpacking device, through the combined design of a frame, lateral movement mechanism, longitudinal movement mechanism, lifting mechanism, gripping device, and output device, achieves efficient and accurate unpacking and handling of cigarette cartons of different specifications. The adsorption unit in the gripping device, with its conical adsorption port and interface end design, combined with a telescopic cylinder and supporting base plate, ensures the stability and accuracy of the cigarette cartons during handling, effectively improving the automation level and operational efficiency of warehousing and logistics. The telescopic cylinder controls the rapid extension and retraction of the supporting base plate; when the adsorption unit no longer generates adsorption force, it pushes the cigarette cartons quickly away from the adsorption unit, thus achieving a smooth release.
[0015] 2. The lateral movement mechanism, through the design of lateral guide rails, lateral sliders, and a lateral drive motor, enables flexible horizontal movement of the gripping device. A synchronous belt mechanism or a lead screw and nut mechanism, as the primary transmission component, ensures smooth and precise movement, further improving the efficiency and accuracy of the disassembly operation.
[0016] 3. The longitudinal moving mechanism, through the design of longitudinal guide rails, longitudinal sliders, and a longitudinal drive motor, enables flexible vertical movement of the gripping device. Similarly, a synchronous belt mechanism or a lead screw and nut mechanism is used as the second transmission component to ensure the stability and accuracy of longitudinal movement. Combined with the lateral moving mechanism, this achieves precise positioning and handling of the cigarette packs in three-dimensional space.
[0017] 4. The lifting mechanism adopts a hydraulic cylinder design, providing powerful lifting force and a stable lifting process. Precise control of the hydraulic cylinder ensures accurate vertical movement of the gripping device, providing reliable lifting support for unpacking and handling of cigarette packs.
[0018] 5. The steering mechanism design allows the gripping device to rotate horizontally, further improving the flexibility and adaptability of the dismantling operation. The combination of the rotating disk and the rotation servo motor, along with the gear mechanism transmission, ensures smooth and precise rotation, enabling the device to handle more complex dismantling scenarios.
[0019] 6. A buffer pad is installed under the support base plate to effectively reduce damage to cigarette packs caused by collisions during handling. The buffer pad, made of rubber or sponge material, combined with the buffer through-hole design corresponding to the through-holes in the base plate, ensures the stability and safety of the adsorption unit in the contracted state, improving the quality and efficiency of cigarette pack handling.
[0020] 7. The adsorption unit is made of rubber or silicone and has a built-in return spring, which improves the stability and reliability of adsorption. This design allows the adsorption unit to better adhere to the surface of the cigarette when adsorbing cigarettes, reducing the risk of adsorption failure. At the same time, the presence of the return spring ensures that the adsorption unit quickly resets after releasing the cigarettes, improving the overall performance and lifespan of the device.
