Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette packing technology, and in particular to a sliding cigarette pack clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] Cigarette sticks, also known as cigarette cartons, are typically packed into boxes using sealing machines during the cigarette packaging process. However, when issues such as cigarette blockage, malfunctions, or maintenance occur, the sealing machines cannot continue to be used. The current solution is to switch to manual packing of cigarette sticks. However, the production volume of cigarette sticks on the assembly line is large and they move at a certain speed, which poses certain difficulties and safety hazards for operators during the grabbing process. Moreover, the grabbing efficiency is slow, and the cigarette sticks are prone to slipping or being squeezed during the grabbing process, resulting in waste.

[0003] A related technology provides a cigarette stick gripping device, including a connecting rod assembly and clamping plates for gripping cigarette sticks. The connecting rod assembly includes a guide rod and two cross-arranged and rotatably connected connecting rods. The connecting rods rotate around a rotation axis, and the guide rod is perpendicularly connected to the rotation axis. Two clamping plates are spaced apart along the guide rods. The clamping plates are slidably connected to the guide rods, and the connecting rods are connected to the clamping plates. When the connecting rods rotate in opposite directions, they can drive the clamping plates to slide in opposite directions to grip the cigarette sticks. However, during gripping, the operator must always hold the connecting rods, which requires continuous force during the gripping process. This increases operator fatigue and may also cause the cigarette sticks to fall off due to hand tremors, reducing the ease of operation and gripping stability. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the locking component includes:

[0012] A locking cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the drive assembly;

[0013] A locking rod, one end of which passes through the locking cylinder and can be selectively inserted into any one of the locking holes;

[0015] A spring is fitted inside the locking rod, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the locking cylinder and the other end of the spring abutting against the fixing ring.

[0016] Preferably, the drive assembly has two opposing slide grooves that extend along the extension direction of the locking rod.

[0017] Preferably, the locking lever includes:

[0018] A locking body, one end of which passes through the locking cylinder and the other end of which passes through the locking plate;

[0033] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0034] This utility model provides a sliding cigarette holder, including a device body, a drive assembly, a locking assembly, and a gripping assembly. The device body has multiple locking holes. The drive assembly is rotatably connected to the device body, and the locking assembly is connected to the drive assembly. One end of the locking assembly can be selectively inserted into any one of the locking holes. The gripping assembly includes two gripping members, which are slidably connected to the device body. The output end of the drive assembly is drively connected to the two gripping members to drive the two gripping members to move closer to each other and grip the cigarette holder.

[0035] When clamping and packing cigarette sticks, the drive assembly places two grippers on the outside of multiple cigarette sticks. First, the drive assembly and locking assembly are operated simultaneously. The locking assembly moves, disengaging one end from its locking hole, allowing the drive assembly to rotate normally. Then, the drive assembly rotates, causing the two grippers to move relative to each other until they are pressed against the outside of the cigarette sticks for clamping and fixation. This facilitates the clamping of multiple cigarette sticks. Next, the locking assembly moves in the opposite direction, inserting one end into another locking hole, thus locking the drive assembly and preventing its rotation. This ensures the two grippers firmly clamp and fix the cigarette sticks. Afterward, multiple cigarette sticks can be lifted and clamped for packing using only the drive assembly. By using the drive assembly to bring the two grippers closer together, and coordinating with the locking assembly to disengage or insert into the locking hole, the operator does not need to apply force throughout the clamping process, reducing labor intensity. This method differs from traditional clamping methods, which suffer from difficulties in quantifying force, the risk of damaging the cigarette sticks due to excessive tightness, or the risk of them falling due to excessive looseness. It improves the operational precision of clamping cigarette sticks, ensures the stability of the clamping state, and increases operational convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0048] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0049] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0050] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0051] This embodiment provides a sliding cigarette holder, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a device body 1, a drive assembly 2, a locking assembly 3, and a gripping assembly 4. The device body 1 has multiple locking holes 121. The drive assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the device body 1. The locking assembly 3 is connected to the drive assembly 2. One end of the locking assembly 3 can be selectively inserted into any one of the locking holes 121. The gripping assembly 4 includes two gripping members 41. The two gripping members 41 are slidably connected to the device body 1. The output end of the drive assembly 2 is drively connected to the two gripping members 41 to drive the two gripping members 41 to approach each other and grip the cigarette stick.

[0052] When clamping and packing cigarette sticks, the drive assembly 2 places two gripping parts 41 on the outside of multiple cigarette sticks. First, the drive assembly 2 and the locking assembly 3 are operated simultaneously. The locking assembly 3 moves so that one end of the locking assembly 3 disengages from the locking hole 121, allowing the drive assembly 2 to rotate normally. Then, the drive assembly 2 is rotated, causing the two gripping parts 41 to move relative to each other until the two gripping parts 41 are in contact with the outside of the cigarette sticks for clamping and fixing, thus facilitating the clamping of multiple cigarette sticks. Then, the locking assembly 3 is moved in the opposite direction so that one end of the locking assembly 3 is inserted into another locking hole 121, thereby locking the drive assembly 2 and preventing it from rotating. This allows the two gripping parts 41 to firmly clamp and fix the cigarette sticks. After that, multiple cigarette sticks can be lifted and clamped and packed using only the drive assembly 2. By driving the two gripping parts 41 to move closer to each other through the drive component 2, and cooperating with the locking component 3 to disengage from or insert into the locking hole 121, the operator does not need to apply force throughout the gripping process, thereby reducing labor intensity. In addition, unlike the traditional gripping method, the force is difficult to quantify, and the tobacco stick is easily damaged if too tight or dropped if too loose. This improves the operation accuracy when gripping the tobacco stick, while ensuring the stability of the gripping state and increasing the convenience of operation.

[0053] Optionally, in this embodiment, the gripper 41 is a gripping plate. The gripping plate grips multiple cigarette boxes simultaneously. In other embodiments, the gripper 41 is a gripping frame, etc. No limitations are imposed here.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device body 1 includes a body portion 11 and a top cover portion 12. A drive assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the body portion 11, and two gripping members 41 are slidably connected to the device body 1. The top cover portion 12 is fixedly connected to the body portion 11. Vertically, the top cover portion 12 is located above the body portion 11. Part of the drive assembly 2 is located between the body portion 11 and the top cover portion 12. The top cover portion 12 has multiple locking holes 121. The location of part of the drive assembly 2 between the body portion 11 and the top cover portion 12 protects it from external objects, extending its service life and ensuring operational stability. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the body portion 11 and the top cover portion 12 are plate-like structures. In other embodiments, the body portion 11 is a frame structure, and the top cover portion 12 is a plate-like structure, etc. No limitations are imposed here.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, four locking holes 121 are provided, with their centers located on the same circumference. The four locking holes 121 are arranged in pairs, forming a first group of locking holes 121 and a second group of locking holes 121. In other embodiments, six, eight, or two locking holes 121 are provided, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the locking assembly 3 includes a locking cylinder 31, a locking rod 32, a retaining ring 33, and a spring 34. The locking cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the driving assembly 2. One end of the locking rod 32 passes through the locking cylinder 31 and can be selectively inserted into any locking hole 121. The retaining ring 33 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the locking rod 32 and can be located inside the locking cylinder 31. The spring 34 is sleeved inside the locking rod 32. One end of the spring 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the locking cylinder 31, and the other end of the spring 34 abuts against the retaining ring 33. When the drive assembly 2 is unlocked, one end of the locking rod 32 disengages from one of the locking holes 121, and the spring 34 is compressed, allowing the drive assembly 2 to rotate. This drives the two gripping parts 41 to move closer together and grip the cigarette box. After gripping the cigarette box, the locking rod 32 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 34 pushes the fixing ring 33 to move, thereby moving the locking rod 32 so that one end of the locking rod 32 is inserted into the other locking hole 121, thus locking the drive assembly 2.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of locking cylinders 31, locking rods 32, fixing rings 33, and springs 34 are provided, with the two sets of locking cylinders 31, locking rods 32, fixing rings 33, and springs 34 arranged alternately. One end of each of the two locking rods 32 is simultaneously inserted into the first set of locking holes 121 to lock the drive assembly 2; one end of each of the two locking rods 32 is simultaneously disengaged from the first set of locking holes 121 to unlock the drive assembly 2; when the drive assembly 2 drives the two gripping members 41 to pick up the cigarette stick, one end of each of the two locking rods 32 is simultaneously inserted into the second set of locking holes 121 to lock the drive assembly 2 again.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive assembly 2 has two opposing slide grooves 221 extending along the extension direction of the locking rod 32. The locking assembly 3 also includes a locking plate 35, with both ends of the locking plate 35 slidably connected to the two slide grooves 221, and the other end of the locking rod 32 fixedly connected to the locking plate 35. When the locking plate 35 moves smoothly along the direction of the slide grooves 221, the locking rod 32 moves synchronously, causing the other end of the locking rod 32 to disengage from or insert into the locking hole 121. Through the guiding effect of the two slide grooves 221, the linearity and stability of the movement of the locking plate 35 can be effectively ensured, avoiding jamming or offset. More specifically, the two sets of locking cylinders 31, the locking rod 32, the fixing ring 33, and the spring 34 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the locking plate 35.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the locking lever 32 includes a locking body 321 and a fixing part 322. One end of the locking body 321 passes through the locking cylinder 31, and the other end of the locking body 321 passes through the locking plate 35. The fixing part 322 is threadedly connected to the other end of the locking body 321 that passes through the locking plate 35. Through the threaded connection between the fixing part 322 and the locking body 321, the locking lever 32 and the locking plate 35 indirectly form a whole. The threaded connection is detachable, which facilitates the installation, maintenance, and replacement of parts. It also facilitates the adjustment of the relative position of the locking body 321 and the locking plate 35, thereby adjusting the state of the spring 34, so that the spring 34 is in a compressed state or a normal state. This adjusts the force required by the operator to move the locking plate 35, and can flexibly adjust the force required by the operator according to actual usage needs, taking into account both the convenience of unlocking operation and the reliability of locking operation.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drive assembly 2 includes a rotating shaft 21, a drive frame 22, and a drive plate 23. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the device body 1. The drive frame 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the drive plate 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 21. Both ends of the drive plate 23 are connected to two gripping members 41 via two connecting rods 6, and the drive plate 23 and the drive frame 22 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. After the drive assembly 2 is unlocked, the operator rotates the drive frame 22, causing the drive plate 23 fixed on the rotating shaft 21 to rotate synchronously. This transmits the rotational force to the connecting rods 6, thereby synchronously driving the two gripping members 41 to slide relative to each other. This achieves the transmission of the rotational force of the drive frame 22 to the two gripping members 41, causing the two gripping members 41 to slide relative to each other. It should be noted that, as... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, two sets of locking cylinders 31, locking rods 32, fixing rings 33 and springs 34 are spaced apart on both sides of the rotating shaft 21 along the extension direction of the locking plate 35.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the locking component 3 is disposed within the drive frame 22. By placing the locking component 3 within the drive frame 22, when the operator unlocks the rotational movement of the drive component 2 using the locking component 3, the drive frame 22 can be rotated simultaneously to allow the two gripping parts 41 to slide relative to each other, which helps improve the compactness and operational efficiency of the sliding cigarette holder. It should be noted that the locking cylinder 31, part of the locking rod 32, the fixing ring 33, the spring 34, and the locking plate 35 are disposed within the drive frame 22.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 4As shown, the sliding cigarette holder also includes a guide assembly 5, which includes a guide rail 51 and a slider 52 that are slidably connected. One of the guide rail 51 and the slider 52 is connected to the device body 1, and the other is connected to one of the gripping members 41. The guide rail 51 and the slider 52 provide guidance for the sliding of the gripping member 41 and help reduce the sliding resistance of the gripping member 41.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide rail 51 is threaded to the device body 1, and the slider 52 is threaded to the gripper 41. In other embodiments, the guide rail 51 is threaded to the gripper 41, and the slider 52 is threaded to the device body 1, or the guide rail 51 is snap-fitted to the device body 1, and the slider 52 is snap-fitted to the gripper 41, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, four guide components 5 are provided, spaced apart. The multiple guide components 5 improve the sliding stability of the gripper 41. More specifically, as... Figure 4 As shown, each gripper 41 is configured with two guide components 5.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sliding cigarette holder also includes a buffer 7. Each gripper 41 is equipped with a buffer 7, and the buffer 7 is located on one side opposite to the two grippers 41. When multiple cigarettes are clamped and fixed using the two grippers 41, the buffer 7 on the opposite side of the two grippers 41 fits against the outer side of the cigarette, thereby increasing friction to ensure the fixing effect while avoiding damage to the outer side of the cigarette. Specifically, in this embodiment, the buffer 7 is a rubber plate. In other embodiments, the buffer 7 is a silicone plate or a foam plate, etc. No limitation is made here.

[0066] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
