Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the workflow of the Fokker packaging machine, cigarette packs are first conveyed to the insertion roller by the first conveyor assembly. Then, through the sliding friction between the insertion roller and the cigarette pack, they are driven into the second conveyor assembly. The second conveyor assembly sequentially conveys the cigarette packs below the pusher, and then into the folding turret to complete the packaging of the small boxes with transparent paper. However, in actual operation, cigarette packs are frequently squeezed under the insertion roller, a problem that directly causes the machine to stop. When this happens, the operator needs to remove the damaged cigarette packs. However, because the L-shaped guard plate at the cigarette pack track entrance is fixed and the space under the insertion roller is narrow, removing the damaged cigarette packs is very difficult, severely impacting operational efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cigarette pack conveying device that solves the problems of cigarette pack compression and difficulty in cigarette removal under the insertion wheel assembly, thereby improving conveying stability and processing efficiency.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A cigarette pack conveying device, comprising:

[0006] The machine includes a frame, a first conveying assembly, and a second conveying assembly, both of which are mounted on the frame. The first conveying assembly conveys the tobacco pack along a first direction, and the second conveying assembly conveys the tobacco pack along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0007] An insertion wheel assembly is located above the connection between the first conveying assembly and the second conveying assembly. The insertion wheel assembly includes an insertion wheel body and a plurality of rollers. The insertion wheel body is rotatably connected to the frame. The insertion wheel body is circumferentially provided with a plurality of mounting parts. The plurality of rollers correspond one-to-one with the plurality of mounting parts and are rotatably connected. The rollers can roll and abut against the cigarette pack for transferring the cigarette pack from the first conveying assembly to the second conveying assembly.

[0008] A protective plate is rotatably connected to the side of the second conveying assembly closest to the first conveying assembly, and the protective plate can contact the top surface of the cigarette pack;

[0009] A detection element is disposed on the second conveying assembly to detect the rotation state of the guard plate. The detection element is electrically connected to the first conveying assembly, the second conveying assembly, and the insertion wheel assembly.

[0010] As an optional solution for the cigarette pack conveying device, the insertion wheel assembly also includes multiple connectors, each of which corresponds to a different mounting part. The first end of each connector is fixedly connected to the corresponding mounting part, and the second end of each connector is rotatably connected to the corresponding roller.

[0011] As an alternative to the cigarette pack conveying device, any of the mounting parts has an arc-shaped surface on the side facing the roller, and the arc-shaped surface is clearance-fitted with the corresponding roller.

[0012] As an alternative to the cigarette pack conveying device, the insertion wheel assembly also includes a plurality of fasteners, each of which corresponds to a plurality of connectors and a plurality of mounting parts. Each connector has a first hole at its first end, and each mounting part has a threaded hole along the second direction. The fastener passes through the corresponding first hole and is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded hole.

[0013] As an alternative to the cigarette pack conveying device, the insertion wheel assembly also includes a drive component, which is fixedly connected to the frame. The output end of the drive component is connected to the central shaft of the insertion wheel body, and the drive component can drive the central shaft to rotate so as to drive the insertion wheel body to rotate synchronously.

[0014] As an alternative to the cigarette pack conveying device, the first conveying assembly includes a first conveyor belt and first baffles located on both sides of the first conveyor belt, the distance between the two first baffles being matched with the width of the cigarette pack.

[0015] As an alternative to the cigarette pack conveying device, the second conveying assembly includes a second conveyor belt and second baffles located on both sides of the second conveyor belt, with the distance between the two second baffles matching the length of the cigarette pack.

[0016] As an alternative to the cigarette pack conveying device, the second conveying assembly further includes two smoke guide plates, each of which is connected to a corresponding second baffle. The distance between the smoke guide plates and the second conveyor belt is matched with the height of the cigarette pack.

[0017] As an alternative to the cigarette pack conveying device, one end of the guard plate is located at the junction of the first conveying component and the second conveying component and is in contact with the cigarette pack, while the other end of the guard plate is in contact with the smoke guide plate near the first conveying component.

[0018] As an alternative to the cigarette pack conveying device, the detection element includes a proximity switch disposed on the second baffle near the first conveying assembly, the proximity switch being configured to detect the rotational state of the baffle.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] This utility model provides a cigarette pack conveying device. Through the vertical arrangement of a first conveying component and a second conveying component, combined with the transitional conveying of an insertion wheel component, reliable switching of the cigarette pack conveying direction is achieved. By incorporating a rotatable guard plate and a detection element, the conveying status of the cigarette packs can be monitored in real time, and the operation of the conveying device can be controlled in conjunction with these elements. When a blockage occurs at the conveying junction, the accumulated cigarette packs will push up the guard plate, causing it to rotate. Upon detecting the rotation of the guard plate, the detection element controls the first conveying component, the second conveying component, and the insertion wheel component to stop operating. The rollers of the insertion wheel component roll against the cigarette packs, and the rolling friction, compared to sliding friction, reduces frictional damage to the cigarette pack surface, resulting in smoother cigarette pack conveying. The overall structure of the conveying device is reasonable and compact, with all components working in tandem, significantly improving the stability and reliability of cigarette pack conveying.

[0037] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper" and "lower," 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.

[0041] In the workflow of the Fokker packaging machine, cigarette packs 100 are conveyed to the insertion roller 300 via the first conveying assembly 2. The cigarette pack 100 is then carried into the second conveying assembly 3 by the sliding friction between the insertion roller 300 and the cigarette pack 100. However, this sliding friction can easily lead to poor conveying, causing the cigarette pack 100 to be squeezed under the insertion roller 300, resulting in machine shutdown. At this point, the operator needs to remove the damaged cigarette pack 100. However, the L-shaped guard plate 200 at the track entrance of the second conveying assembly 3 is fixed, and the space under the insertion roller 300 is narrow, making the removal of the damaged cigarette pack 100 very difficult and severely impacting operational efficiency. Figure 7 As shown, in the prior art, the insertion wheel 300 is ratchet-shaped, with rounded ends of its teeth. When the insertion wheel 300 rotates, the rounded ends of the teeth create sliding friction with the cigarette pack 100. Figure 8 As shown, in the prior art, the L-shaped guard plate 200 and the second conveying assembly 3 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0042] This embodiment provides a tobacco package conveying device, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the cigarette pack conveying device includes a frame 1, a first conveying assembly 2, a second conveying assembly 3, an insertion wheel assembly 4, a guard plate 5, and a detection component. Both the first and second conveying assemblies 2 and 3 are mounted on the frame 1. The first conveying assembly 2 conveys cigarette packs 100 along a first direction, and the second conveying assembly 3 conveys cigarette packs 100 along a second direction. The first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. The insertion wheel assembly 4 is located above the junction of the first and second conveying assemblies 2 and 3. The insertion wheel assembly 4 includes an insertion wheel body 41 and multiple rollers 43. The insertion wheel body 41 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. Next, the insertion wheel body 41 is circumferentially provided with multiple mounting parts 411, and multiple rollers 43 are rotatably connected to the multiple mounting parts 411 one by one. The rollers 43 can roll and abut against the cigarette pack 100 to transfer the cigarette pack 100 from the first conveying assembly 2 to the second conveying assembly 3. The guard plate 5 is rotatably connected to the side of the second conveying assembly 3 near the first conveying assembly 2, and the guard plate 5 can contact the top surface of the cigarette pack 100. The detection element is set on the second conveying assembly 3 to detect the rotation state of the guard plate 5. The detection element is electrically connected to the first conveying assembly 2, the second conveying assembly 3 and the insertion wheel assembly 4.

[0043] The cigarette pack conveying device achieves reliable switching of the conveying direction of the cigarette pack 100 through the vertical arrangement of the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 3 in conjunction with the transition conveying of the insertion wheel component 4. By setting a rotatable guard plate 5 in cooperation with the detection element, the conveying status of the cigarette pack 100 can be monitored in real time and the operation of the conveying device can be controlled in linkage. When the cigarette pack 100 is blocked at the conveying junction, the accumulated cigarette packs 100 will push up the guard plate 5 and make it rotate. After the detection element detects the rotation of the guard plate 5, it controls the first conveying component 2, the second conveying component 3 and the insertion wheel component 4 to stop operating. The rollers 43 of the insertion wheel component 4 roll against the cigarette pack 100. Rolling friction, compared with sliding friction, reduces frictional damage to the surface of the cigarette pack 100, so that the cigarette pack 100 is conveyed more smoothly. The overall structure of the conveying device is reasonable and compact, and the components work together to significantly improve the stability and reliability of the cigarette pack 100 conveying.

[0044] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the insertion wheel assembly 4 also includes multiple connectors 42, each corresponding to a different mounting part 411. The first end of each connector 42 is fixedly connected to the corresponding mounting part 411, and the second end is rotatably connected to the corresponding roller 43. This allows the roller 43 to roll against the cigarette pack 100, transforming the original sliding friction into rolling friction, effectively reducing conveying resistance, significantly improving the smoothness of conveying the cigarette pack 100 below the insertion wheel 300, and reducing the squeezing and jamming of the cigarette pack 100 caused by frictional resistance. Simultaneously, the rolling contact method can transmit the driving force more evenly, avoiding damage to the cigarette pack 100 caused by localized stress concentration, further reducing the rate of defective cigarettes. Furthermore, the rotating design of the roller 43 reduces wear between components, extends the service life of the insertion wheel assembly 4, and reduces maintenance costs. Specifically, the connector 42 is a plate-shaped piece, with one end near the roller 43 being arc-shaped, and its radius of curvature being less than or equal to the diameter of the roller 43.

[0045] In this embodiment, two connectors 42 are provided between each mounting part 411 and the corresponding roller 43. The first end of each connector 42 is fixedly connected to the mounting part 411, and the second end of each connector 42 is connected to both ends of the roller 43, so that the roller 43 rolls against the cigarette pack 100. This double connector design allows both ends of the roller 43 to be stably supported, avoiding the tilting or shaking of the roller 43 that may occur when supported by a single connector 42. This ensures that the roller 43 always maintains stable rolling contact with the cigarette pack 100, further improving the smoothness of pushing the cigarette pack 100. At the same time, the structure with support at both ends enhances the load-bearing capacity of the entire connection part, better copes with various forces during the conveying process of the cigarette pack 100, reduces the damage to the connector 42 due to uneven force, extends its service life, and makes the cigarette pack 100 less prone to deviation or jamming during the conveying process. Structurally, this further reduces the probability of cigarette squeezing and ensures the continuity and stability of the conveying device operation.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, each mounting part 411 has an arc-shaped surface 4111 on the side facing the roller 43, and the arc-shaped surface 4111 is clearance-fitted with the corresponding roller 43. The arc-shaped surface 4111 matches the contour of the roller 43, providing a certain limiting effect for the roller 43. When the roller 43 tends to shift due to slight shaking during the conveying of the cigarette pack 100, the arc-shaped surface 4111 can play an auxiliary guiding and restraining role, preventing the roller 43 from excessively deviating. At the same time, the clearance fit provides sufficient space for the rotation of the roller 43, without hindering its normal rotation, ensuring smooth rolling friction, and thus ensuring the stable and efficient conveying process of the cigarette pack 100.

[0047] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the insertion wheel assembly 4 also includes multiple fasteners 44, each corresponding to a multiple connector 42 and a multiple mounting portion 411. Each connector 42 has a first hole 421 at its first end, and each mounting portion 411 has a threaded hole 4112 along a second direction. The fastener 44 passes through the corresponding first hole 421 and is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded hole 4112. The fasteners 44 threadedly connect the connector 42 and the mounting portion 411, ensuring a secure connection between them and preventing the connector 42 from loosening during high-speed rotation of the insertion wheel 300 and the pushing of the cigarette pack 100, thus ensuring the stability of the roller 43 on the cigarette pack 100. This also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the connector 42. When the connector 42 or roller 43 becomes worn and needs replacement, it can be removed simply by unscrewing the fasteners 44, eliminating the need for complex operations on the mounting portion 411 or the insertion wheel body 41, significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and time costs. In this embodiment, the fastener 44 is a bolt or screw.

[0048] In this embodiment, the insertion wheel assembly 4 also includes a drive component (not shown). The drive component is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and its output end is drively connected to the central shaft 412 of the insertion wheel body 41. The drive component can drive the central shaft 412 to rotate, thereby driving the insertion wheel body 41 to rotate synchronously. The continuous power provided by the drive component ensures that the insertion wheel 300 rotates at a set speed, avoiding speed fluctuations caused by insufficient power or unstable transmission. This makes the pushing rhythm of the roller 43 on the cigarette pack 100 more uniform, further reducing the risk of compression of the cigarette pack 100 due to speed changes during transportation. At the same time, the fixed connection between the drive component and the frame 1 enhances the stability of the overall structure, preventing loosening of components due to vibration during driving, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the insertion wheel assembly 4, and providing reliable power guarantee for the smooth transportation of the cigarette pack 100. In this embodiment, the drive component is a stepper motor or a servo motor.

[0049] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the first conveying assembly 2 includes a first conveyor belt 21 and first baffles 22 located on both sides of the first conveyor belt 21. The distance between the two first baffles 22 matches the width of the cigarette pack 100. The first conveyor belt 21, as the main power carrier, can stably drive the cigarette pack 100 along the first direction, while the first baffles 22 on both sides form lateral constraints on the cigarette pack 100. Because the distance between the two first baffles 22 matches the width of the cigarette pack 100, the cigarette pack 100 will not shift or tip over during conveying if the distance is too large, nor will it be damaged due to excessive compression if the distance is too small. Through this coordination, the cigarette pack 100 can maintain a regular posture on the first conveyor belt 21 and move orderly towards the insertion wheel assembly 4, laying the foundation for smooth connection with the insertion wheel assembly 4, reducing conveying difficulties or compression problems caused by disordered cigarette pack 100 positioning, and improving the stability and efficiency of the entire conveying process.

[0050] like Figures 1-2As shown, the second conveying assembly 3 includes a second conveyor belt 31 and second baffles 32 located on both sides of the second conveyor belt 31. The distance between the two second baffles 32 matches the length of the cigarette pack 100. The second conveyor belt 31 provides continuous conveying power to the cigarette pack 100, ensuring that the cigarette pack 100 can move stably along the second direction, while the second baffles 32 on both sides effectively limit the movement of the cigarette pack 100 from the side. Because the distance between the two second baffles 32 is adapted to the length of the cigarette pack 100, the distance is neither too wide, causing the cigarette pack 100 to sway laterally or misalign during conveying, affecting the accuracy of its subsequent entry into the pusher, nor too narrow, causing compression of the cigarette pack 100 and preventing deformation or damage. This structure allows the cigarette pack 100 to maintain a neat arrangement on the second conveyor belt 31 and be smoothly conveyed to the pusher along a predetermined trajectory, ensuring a smooth transition into the folding turret and further improving the continuity and reliability of the entire cigarette pack 100 conveying process.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second conveying assembly 3 also includes two smoke guide plates 33, each connected to a corresponding second baffle 32. The distance between the smoke guide plates 33 and the second conveyor belt 31 matches the height of the cigarette pack 100. After the two smoke guide plates 33 are connected to the second baffles 32 on both sides, a longitudinal constraint is formed above the cigarette pack 100. The distance between them and the second conveyor belt 31 is adapted to the height of the cigarette pack 100, preventing the cigarette pack 100 from tilting or flipping during conveying due to excessive spacing, and also preventing deformation caused by squeezing the cigarette pack 100 due to insufficient spacing. In this way, the cigarette pack 100 is subject to dual constraints on the second conveyor belt 31, both laterally (by the second baffle 32) and longitudinally (by the smoke guide plates 33 and the conveyor belt), maintaining a flat posture at all times. This prevents stacking or tilting due to bumps or external forces, ensuring accurate delivery to the pusher, further reducing conveying failures, and improving the stability and efficiency of the overall process.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the guard plate 5 is located at the junction of the first conveying assembly 2 and the second conveying assembly 3 and contacts the tobacco pack 100, while the other end of the guard plate 5 contacts the smoke guide plate 33 near the first conveying assembly 2. The guard plate 5 forms a smooth transition guide channel at the junction of the two conveying assemblies. Its contact with the tobacco pack 100 guides the tobacco pack 100 smoothly from the first conveying assembly 2 into the second conveying assembly 3, preventing the tobacco pack 100 from getting stuck or deviating at the junction due to changes in conveying direction or speed. At the same time, the connection between the guard plate 5 and the smoke guide plate 33 makes the guide channel and the longitudinal constraint of the second conveying assembly 3 form a continuous whole, ensuring that the tobacco pack 100 can be immediately incorporated into the double limiting system after entering the second conveying assembly 3, reducing posture fluctuations during the connection process, further improving the continuity and stability of the conveying, and reducing the risk of failures such as smoke squeezing caused by poor junction.

[0053] To facilitate the removal of cigarettes when the cigarette pack 100 becomes clogged, this embodiment designs the guard plate 5 as an integral structure. It consists of an L-shaped guard plate 200 (as in the prior art) and a portion of the smoke guide plate 33 near the first conveying component 2, and is hinged to the second baffle 32. The second baffle 32 has a certain width, supporting the guard plate 5 in a horizontal state parallel to the horizontal plane formed by the first and second directions. When the cigarette pack 100 is compressed, it will lift the guard plate 5, allowing the detection element to detect the rotation of the guard plate 5 and thus control the conveying device to stop operating. Compared to the L-shaped guard plate 200 in the prior art, the improved guard plate 5 makes it easier to remove the cigarette pack 5, increasing the operating space. Compared to the L-shaped guard plate 200 in the prior art, the improved guard plate 5 in this embodiment makes it easier to remove the cigarette pack 100, significantly increasing the operating space.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the detection element includes a proximity switch 6, which is disposed on the second baffle 32 near the first conveying assembly 2. The proximity switch 6 is configured to detect the rotation state of the protective plate 5. The proximity switch 6, installed here, can accurately detect whether the protective plate 5 is rotating. In this embodiment, the proximity switch 6 is an inductive proximity switch or a capacitive proximity switch.

[0055] In this embodiment, the detection component also includes a controller (not shown). When the cigarette pack 100 passes normally, the proximity switch 6 can promptly capture the signal and transmit it to the controller. If the cigarette pack 100 is squeezed, the proximity switch 6 will feed back an abnormal signal to the controller. After receiving the signal, the controller can quickly determine whether the cigarette pack 100 is being conveyed normally. Once an abnormality is detected, it can promptly issue instructions, such as controlling the first conveying component 2, the second conveying component 3, and the insertion wheel component 4 to adjust the conveying speed or pause the conveying, to avoid the accumulation of abnormal cigarette packs 100 that could cause more serious malfunctions such as cigarette squeezing, and to ensure the stable operation of the conveying device. In this embodiment, the controller is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or a microcontroller.

[0056] 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.
