Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco box conveying technology, and in particular to a continuous flexible bidirectional tobacco box conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated cigarette finished product logistics system, finished cigarette cartons produced in the packaging workshop are transported to the sorting line entrance via a vertical elevator and roller conveyor. After the barcode scanner identifies the cigarette cartons, they are transported to the corresponding channel for robotic palletizing according to the identified brand information. During the cigarette carton transport, the stacker crane removes the stacked cigarettes from the high-bay warehouse, and the robot places the cigarette cartons on the conveyor roller conveyor. Then, the conveyor roller conveyor transports the cigarette cartons sequentially to the flipping conveyor device, which flips the cigarette cartons.

[0003] However, due to the short distance between the conveyor roller conveyor and the turning conveyor, and the high speed of the cigarette boxes, when the cigarette boxes come into contact with the turning conveyor, they may bounce back after colliding with it. This can lead to the cigarette boxes falling back and being squeezed and deformed by subsequent cigarette boxes. As a result, the cigarette boxes cannot be turned continuously and are only turned in one direction, which is not conducive to the quality inspection of the cigarette boxes. Furthermore, there is no flexible buffering device to reduce the impact force during the turning process, which makes the cigarette boxes prone to hard contact with the turning device and causing damage. Ultimately, this will result in damage to the cigarette box packaging and reduce production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a continuous flexible bidirectional cigarette box conveying device was invented to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a conveying device for a continuous flexible bidirectional cigarette box, including a support frame 1, a flipping component 2 on the support frame 1, a drive shaft 4 rotatably connected to both ends of the support frame 1, an annular and chain-plate type conveyor belt 5 rotatably connected between the two drive shafts 4, a drive motor 6 installed on the support frame 1, and the drive motor 6 coaxially and fixedly connected to one of the drive shafts 4.

[0029] Multiple supports 7 are installed on both sides of the support frame 1, distributed along the length of the support frame 1. A guard plate 8 is fixedly connected to multiple supports 7 on the same side.

[0030] In use, the cigarette box is first placed on the conveyor belt 5 on the support frame 1, and then the drive motor 6 is started. The drive motor 6 drives the drive shaft 4 to rotate. The two drive shafts 4 rotate synchronously under the action of the chain plate type conveyor belt 5, so that the cigarette box is transported under the action of the conveyor belt 5. When the cigarette box passes through the flipping component 2, the flipping component 2 assists the cigarette box to flip. The flipped cigarette box is transported to the next process by the conveyor belt 5. The support 7 and the guard plate 8 are provided to effectively protect the support frame 1.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] During use, it was found that the cigarette box did not have a certain amount of flexible cushioning to reduce the impact force during the flipping process, which made the cigarette box easy to come into hard contact with the flipping device and cause damage. This would eventually lead to damage to the cigarette box packaging. Furthermore, it could not be adapted to cigarette boxes of different sizes. Therefore, further improvements were made based on the above embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, it includes a support frame 201 fixedly connected to the support frame 1. Two guide plates 202 that can slide opposite each other or relative to each other are provided on both sides of the support frame 201. Guide plates 203 are provided at the opposite ends of the two guide plates 202. The two guide plates 203 are arranged in a mirror image along the length direction of the guide plates 202. A flip plate 204 is fixed to one end of the guide plate 203. The end of the flip plate 204 away from the support frame 1 is an inclined surface. Multiple guide balls 205 that are evenly distributed along the inclined surface are rolled on the inclined surface of the flip plate 204.

[0034] The height of the end of the flip plate 204 away from the guide plate 203 is less than the height of the end of the flip plate 203 that is close to the guide plate 203. The guide plate 203 is inclined and the end of the flip plate 204 away from the flip plate 204 is inclined toward the middle of the support frame 1.

[0035] A buffer plate 206 is slidably connected inside the guide plate 202, and multiple rubber columns 207 distributed along the length of the buffer plate 206 are rotatably connected to the opposite surfaces of the two buffer plates 206.

[0036] The end of the guide plate 202 away from the flip plate 204 is rotatably connected to the guide post 208, and the buffer plate 206 is connected to the guide plate 202 through the first elastic member 209.

[0037] The support frame 201 is provided with an adjustment component 3, which includes an adjustment groove 301 opened in the support frame 201. Two guide rods 302 are slidably connected in the adjustment groove 301. Two guide plates 202 are located between the two guide rods 302. One end of the guide rod 302 passes through the support frame 201 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding guide plate 202.

[0038] The other end of the guide rod 302 is fixed with an inverted L-shaped connecting rod 303 located in the adjustment groove 301. The end of the connecting rod 303 near the guide rod 302 is connected to the side wall of the adjustment groove 301 through a second elastic member 304.

[0039] Two connecting rods 303 are fixedly connected to vertically extending insert rods 305 at the ends away from the guide rods 302. An adjusting block 306 located between the two insert rods 305 is slidably connected in the adjusting groove 301. Two inclined push grooves 307 are opened on the adjusting block 306, and the insert rods 305 are inserted into the corresponding push grooves 307.

[0040] A positioning knob 308 is threadedly connected to the support frame 201. One end of the positioning knob 308 extends out of the support frame 201, and the other end of the positioning knob 308 is rotatably connected to the adjusting block 306.

[0041] In use, when the cigarette box is conveyed to a position close to the guide plate 202, the cigarette box first contacts the first flip plate 204. As the height of the flip plate 204 gradually decreases towards the conveying direction, and when the cigarette box moves to the port of the two guide plates 202, the cigarette box drives the guide column 208 to rotate along the guide plate 202. Under the action of the guide column 208, the cigarette box is guided to move between the two guide plates 202. At this time, the end of the cigarette box that contacts the flip plate 204 gradually swings to an inclined state under the action of the inclined surface of the flip plate 204. Multiple guide balls 205 are rolled on the inclined surface of the flip plate 204, so that the cigarette box can push the multiple guide balls 205 to roll along the flip plate 204, reducing the friction between the flip plate 204 and the cigarette box.

[0042] As the cigarette box swings to an inclined state, the side wall of the cigarette box gradually presses against the rubber pillars 207 on the buffer plate 206. This causes the rubber pillars 207 to drive the buffer plate 206 to slide into the guide plate 202, compressing the first elastic element 209. This provides flexible buffering against the impact force when the cigarette box flips, preventing hard damage during the flip. When the cigarette box moves to the position where the flipping plate 204 and the guide plate 203 connect, the guide plate 203 causes the cigarette box to flip from a horizontal state to a vertical state, making the side wall of the cigarette box contact the guide plate 202. This causes the buffer plate 206 to drive the rubber pillars 207 to extend into the guide plate 202. As the cigarette box moves, it pushes multiple rubber pillars 207 to rotate, allowing the flipped cigarette box to quickly move away from the space between the guide plate 203 and the guide plate 202, preventing blockage and allowing for quality inspection of the cigarette box.

[0043] When the tobacco box moves to the port of the next guide plate 202 and flip plate 204, since the two flip plates 204 are radially arranged on the support frame 1, the tobacco box repeats the above movement during the movement, causing the tobacco box to swing from a vertical state to a horizontal state and flip bidirectionally. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the guide plate 202 to adapt to tobacco boxes of different sizes, the positioning knob 308 is turned, causing the positioning knob 308 to drive the adjusting block 306 to slide along the support frame 201 away from the insertion rod 305. Since the two push grooves 307 are shaped like an "eight", the adjustment... Block 306 drives two connecting rods 303 to slide relative to each other along the adjusting groove 301 via the push groove 307 and the insert rod 305. The second elastic element 304 is compressed. The connecting rods 303 drive two guide plates 202 to move relative to each other via the two guide rods 302, so that the guide plates 202 drive the flip plate 204 to move relative to each other to adapt to different sizes of cigarette boxes. After the adjustment is completed, the positioning knob 308 is no longer turned. Since the threaded connection has a certain self-locking property, the adjusting block 306 can be kept in a stable position, which makes it easy to ensure that the guide plate 202 is in a stable position to adapt to different sizes of cigarette boxes.

[0044] In summary, through the coordinated arrangement of guide plate 203, flipping plate 204, buffer plate 206, guide ball 205, guide plate 202, guide rod 302, and positioning knob 308, the cigarette box can be continuously flipped bidirectionally via the two flipping plates 204, facilitating quality inspection. Furthermore, the buffer plate 206 and guide ball 205 reduce friction and impact during flipping, enabling flexible and continuous flipping and minimizing damage from rigid flipping. Additionally, the guide rod 302 and positioning knob 308 allow adjustment of the guide plate 202's position, adapting it to flipping cigarette boxes of different sizes, thus improving the efficiency of cigarette box quality inspection and the quality of flipping the cigarette box.
