Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic cigarette box folding technology, specifically relating to an automatic folding and forming device for a double-layer cigarette box. Background Technology

[0002] Since the reform and opening up, China's tobacco packaging has developed rapidly, with packaging upgrades being dazzling. In terms of paper cigarette box packaging, from soft packs to ordinary white cardboard hard packs, to glass cardboard, to popular aluminum foil gold and silver cardboard, and then to the introduction of high-end frosting technology using PET composite cardboard, tobacco packaging has always been at the forefront of the national packaging industry, forming a new fashion of "looking at cigarette packs when it comes to paper packaging". Tobacco packaging boxes are generally divided into two types: long strips and loose packaging.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number "CN202321935747.7" proposes a "folding device for cigarette box packaging". The beneficial effect of the utility model is that, through the longitudinal reciprocating movement of the push plate and the automatic adsorption of the sheet cigarette box by the suction cup to the top of the folding groove, the push plate pushes the sheet cigarette box into the folding groove when it descends, so that the sides of the sheet cigarette box in contact with the folding groove are squeezed and automatically folded. At the same time, when the push plate pushes the sheet cigarette box downward, it automatically releases the suction cup from the sheet cigarette box, so that the suction cup is separated from the sheet cigarette box, which makes it easier for the suction cup to adsorb and feed subsequent sheet cigarette boxes. However, the above device cannot fold cigarette boxes of different sizes during use, which limits the use of the folding device and reduces the practicality and convenience of the cigarette box folding device. Therefore, a double-layer cigarette box automatic folding and forming device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A conveying mechanism 7 is provided above the operating table 1. A folding mechanism 8 is provided above the operating table 1.

[0028] Technical effects: By using the conveying mechanism 4, the double-layer cigarette box can be transported to the conveying mechanism 7, thus facilitating the transport of the double-layer cigarette box; by using the glue dispensing device 6, glue can be applied to the double-layer cigarette box before folding, making the double-layer cigarette box more secure after folding; by using the folding mechanism 8, the purpose is to automatically fold the double-layer cigarette box, making the automatic folding device of the double-layer cigarette box more automated.

[0029] Optionally, the conveying mechanism 4 includes an electric slide rail assembly 41, which is located below the top plate 3. A first electric push rod 42 is located below the electric slide rail assembly 41, and a connecting plate 43 is located at the bottom of the first electric push rod 42. An automatic suction cup 44 is located below the connecting plate 43.

[0030] It should be noted that the automatic suction cup 44 is existing technology. Through the adjustment of the control system, after the automatic suction cup 44 adsorbs the double-layer cigarette box and moves the double-layer cigarette box above the conveying mechanism 7, the automatic suction cup 44 will lose its adsorption capacity and place the double-layer cigarette box above the conveying mechanism 7, which facilitates the automatic transportation of the double-layer cigarette box.

[0031] Technical effect: By using the electric slide rail assembly 41, the first electric push rod 42, the connecting plate 43 and the automatic suction cup 44 in combination, the purpose of transporting double-layer cigarette boxes is achieved, thereby making the automation level of the double-layer cigarette box automatic folding and forming device higher.

[0032] Optionally, the conveying mechanism 7 has a mounting plate 71, which is located outside the operating table 1. A motor 72 is located outside the mounting plate 71. The output shaft of the motor 72 is connected to a roller shaft 73 via a coupling. A conveyor belt 74 is provided on the surface of the roller shaft 73.

[0033] It should be added that the roller 73 can drive the conveyor belt 74 to rotate, thereby enabling the double-layer cigarette box to be conveyed.

The two connecting rods 93 are connected to the two clamping plates respectively, so that the size of the clamping groove 81 can be adjusted.

[0037] Optionally, two automatic suction cups 44 and two card slots 81 are provided, and the positions of the two automatic suction cups 44 and the two card slots 81 correspond one-to-one. This achieves the purpose of simultaneously folding two or more double-layer cigarette boxes, thereby improving the working efficiency of automatic folding of double-layer cigarette boxes.

[0038] Optionally, four support legs are provided under the operating table 1, with the four support legs located at the four corners of the operating table 1. Their function is to support the entire double-layer cigarette box automatic folding device, making the device more stable and safe during use.

[0039] The working principle is as follows: When it is necessary to automatically fold double-layer cigarette boxes of different sizes, the size of the slot 81 needs to be adjusted. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 92 is activated, which drives the connecting rod 93 to move. The connecting rod 93 drives the card plate to move. When the card plate moves to a position where the double-layer cigarette box can be folded, the electric telescopic rod 92 is turned off. Then the conveying mechanism 4 is activated, which transports the double-layer cigarette box to the top of the conveying mechanism 7. The glue dispensing device 6 performs glue dispensing operation on the double-layer cigarette box on the conveying mechanism 7. After the glue dispensing is completed, the conveying mechanism 7 transports the double-layer cigarette box to the folding mechanism 8. The folding mechanism 8 automatically folds the double-layer cigarette box into shape.
