A variable speed cigarette pushing mechanism used in a cigarette packaging machine

Abstract

This utility model discloses a variable-speed cigarette pushing mechanism for a cigarette packaging machine, including a linear module. A connecting plate extending along the axial direction is provided on the slider of the linear module. A mounting plate is connected to the other end of the connecting plate. Both ends of a cylinder are fixed to the slider and the mounting plate respectively. The cylinder's push rod passes through the mounting plate and connects to the back of the push plate. By providing a cylinder on the slider of the linear module, the cylinder push rod extends forward synchronously as the slider moves forward. Compared to existing cigarette pushing structures, the extension distance of the cylinder push rod in this utility model is shortened, thereby reducing the back-and-forth movement time and improving cigarette pushing efficiency. This utility model achieves the goal of improving cigarette pushing efficiency with only minor modifications to existing cigarette pushing mechanisms, enabling enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, thus possessing good application value.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a variable speed cigarette pushing mechanism used in a cigarette packaging machine, belonging to the technical field of cigarette production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly fierce market competition, companies seeking survival and higher profits in this increasingly competitive environment must continuously seek ways to reduce costs and increase efficiency. In the production process, this means addressing the weakest link in the production line, mitigating the "barrel effect." Specifically, in the case of cigarette packaging machines, analysis reveals that a pushing mechanism is needed to advance the cigarettes to the coating station. Currently, this pushing mechanism uses a cylinder head with a push plate, repeatedly pushing the cigarettes through the cylinder's reciprocating motion. This reciprocating motion takes time, causing the pushing mechanism to lag significantly behind other processes. Furthermore, due to the limitations of the packaging machine's structure, installing a higher-speed pushing mechanism would require major modifications, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and not guaranteed to succeed. Therefore, modifying the existing pushing mechanism to improve its efficiency has become a pressing technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a variable-speed cigarette pushing mechanism for a cigarette packaging machine. This mechanism improves the cigarette pushing speed by mounting a cylinder on a linear module to form a two-stage cigarette pushing mechanism.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A variable speed cigarette pushing mechanism used in a cigarette packaging machine includes a linear module. The slider of the linear module is provided with a connecting plate extending along its axis. The other end of the connecting plate is connected to a mounting plate. Both ends of the cylinder are fixed to the slider and the mounting plate respectively. The push rod of the cylinder passes through the mounting plate and is connected to the back of the push plate.

[0005] In the aforementioned variable speed cigarette pushing mechanism used in a cigarette packaging machine, the cylinder is fixed at the middle position of the slider and the mounting plate, and a connecting plate is provided on each side.

[0006] In the aforementioned variable speed cigarette pushing mechanism used in a cigarette packaging machine, a guide rod is also fixed to the back of the push plate. The guide rod is parallel to the axis of the linear module and passes through a guide sleeve installed on the connecting plate.

[0007] In the aforementioned variable speed cigarette pushing mechanism used in a cigarette packaging machine, two sets of guide rods and guide sleeves are provided, respectively located on both sides of the cylinder.

[0008] In the aforementioned variable speed cigarette pushing mechanism used in a cigarette packaging machine, the connecting plate is a metal plate with multiple elongated holes.

[0009] In the aforementioned variable speed cigarette pushing mechanism used in a cigarette packaging machine, the linear module is a synchronous belt module.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this utility model, by setting a cylinder on the slider of the linear module, allows the cylinder push rod to extend forward synchronously during the sliding motion that drives the cylinder forward. Compared with the existing smoke-pushing structure, the extension distance of the cylinder push rod in this utility model is shortened, thereby reducing the back-and-forth movement time and improving smoke-pushing efficiency. This utility model only requires minor modifications to the existing smoke-pushing mechanism to achieve the goal of improving smoke-pushing efficiency, enabling enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency, thus possessing good value for widespread application.

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0014] An embodiment of this utility model: A variable speed cigarette pushing mechanism used in a cigarette packaging machine includes a linear module 1. The linear module 1 can be a commercially available mature product. A connecting plate 3 extending along the axis of the slider 2 of the linear module 1 is provided. The other end of the connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the back of the mounting plate 4. The mounting plate 4 is a vertical structure, perpendicular to the axis of the linear module 1. The two ends of the cylinder 5 are fixed to the slider 2 and the mounting plate 4 respectively. The push rod of the cylinder 5 passes through the mounting plate 4 and is connected to the back of the push plate 6.

[0015] Compared with existing cigarette-pushing mechanisms, the main improvement of this invention lies in the addition of a linear module 1. The overall structure is not significantly larger, so it can be installed on existing packaging machines. In use, as the slider 2 of the linear module 1 moves forward, it drives the cylinder 5 forward as well. At the same time, the push rod of the cylinder 5 pushes forward, thereby driving the push plate 6 to push out and complete the cigarette-pushing action.

[0016] The cylinder 5 is fixed at the middle position of the slider 2 and the mounting plate 4 respectively, and a connecting plate 3 is provided on each side. The two connecting plates 3 improve the structural stability of the mounting plate 4 and ensure the structural stability of the entire smoke pushing mechanism.

[0017] The back of the push plate 6 is also fixed with a guide rod 7. The guide rod 7 is parallel to the axis of the linear module 1. The guide rod 7 passes through the guide sleeve 8 installed on the connecting plate 3. The cooperation between the guide rod 7 and the guide sleeve 8 ensures the stability of the cylinder 5 push rod being pushed forward.

[0018] Two sets of guide rods 7 and guide sleeves 8 are provided, respectively, on both sides of cylinder 5, which makes the cylinder 5 push rod forward in a straight line with very high stability, ensuring that the push plate 6 will not shake during the push process.

[0019] The connecting plate 3 is a metal plate, which ensures the connection strength. It has multiple elongated holes to reduce the weight of the connecting plate 3 and reduce the load on the slider 2.

[0020] The linear module 1 is a synchronous belt module. The synchronous belt module has a relatively fast transmission speed and can perform multi-point positioning and stepless speed regulation, which can adapt to different working conditions of the packaging machine.
