Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco machinery technology, specifically to a modular isolation device for the auxiliary channel between the cigarette making machine and the packaging machine in a cigarette making and packaging workshop. It is particularly suitable for non-destructive isolation operations to quickly block and release the conveying channel when switching between the production of multiple brands of cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of multiple brands of cigarettes on a cigarette rolling and packaging production line, the auxiliary conveyor channel between the cigarette rolling machine and the packaging machine needs to be frequently blocked and released to achieve online / offline production switching for different brands of cigarettes. The auxiliary conveyor channel is set on the receiving machine and includes a horizontal feeding channel, a horizontal discharging channel, and a vertical direct tray channel. The horizontal feeding channel and the horizontal discharging channel extend along the same horizontal direction and are separated by the vertical direct tray channel. The discharge end of the horizontal feeding channel and the feeding end of the horizontal discharging channel are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the top of the vertical direct tray channel. The feeding end of the horizontal feeding channel is connected to the cigarette rolling machine outlet. A buffer chamber is provided below the vertical direct tray channel, and a tray driven by a belt is placed inside the buffer chamber. The discharge end of the horizontal discharging channel is connected to the packaging machine.

[0003] During normal conveying, the belt in the buffer chamber does not work. Cigarettes coming out of the cigarette machine are conveyed from left to right through the horizontal feeding channel and enter the vertical direct plate channel and the horizontal discharge channel respectively. When the vertical direct plate channel is full of cigarettes, the cigarettes are only conveyed to the right through the horizontal discharge channel to supply the packaging machine.

[0004] When the packaging machine malfunctions, the horizontal discharge channel immediately stops, filling it with cigarettes. The cigarettes can only be conveyed downwards through the vertical conveyor channel. The belt in the buffer chamber is activated, driving the tray full of cigarettes, which is then picked up by the next tray for buffering. When the cigarette rolling machine malfunctions, the buffered cigarettes on the trays can be used to feed the downstream packaging machine, ensuring its normal operation.

[0005] However, when the receiving machine transports irregularly shaped cigarettes, the downstream packaging machine is not suitable for them, requiring the irregularly shaped cigarettes to be transported to the irregularly shaped cigarette pack production line. In this case, it is necessary to block the feed end of the horizontal discharge channel. Currently, the industry commonly uses a manual metal baffle installation method, where the metal baffle is installed on the discharge conveyor frame near the feed end of the horizontal discharge channel using screws. This method has the following significant drawbacks: Destructive installation: It requires drilling holes in the discharge conveyor frame to fix metal baffles, which damages the structure of the equipment itself; Low operational efficiency: The installation of metal baffles requires manual screw turning, and each switch takes a long time, becoming an efficiency bottleneck for flexible production on the production line. Equipment surface damage: The metal baffle edge makes hard contact with the discharge conveyor frame, which causes scratches on the equipment surface after long-term use, increasing maintenance costs.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a partition device that combines rapid installation, zero-damage positioning, and high stability. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a modular partition device for auxiliary channels, so as to realize the rapid blocking and release of auxiliary channels between cigarette making machines and packaging machines, and solve the efficiency bottleneck problem of multi-brand production switching.

[0008] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A modular partition device for an auxiliary channel includes a horizontal discharge channel mounted on a receiving machine. The horizontal discharge channel includes a horizontal discharge conveyor belt mounted on a discharge conveyor frame. A crossbeam is fixed on the receiving machine above the horizontal discharge conveyor belt. A curved plate is fixed to the left end of the crossbeam. A sliding plate is slidably mounted on the curved plate. A patch baffle is provided on the bottom surface of the sliding plate. The patch baffle includes a first plate segment and a second plate segment forming an angle. The modular partition device includes a main base plate placed between the patch baffle and the horizontal discharge conveyor belt. A V-shaped groove with an opening facing right is provided on the upper right part of the main base plate. An intersection is formed at the junction of the left end of the crossbeam and the curved plate. The V-shaped groove of the main base plate matches the intersection and the two can slide in the front-back direction. A U-shaped elastic block with an opening facing backward is provided at the top of the main base plate. The U-shaped groove in the U-shaped elastic block can elastically engage with the first plate segment of the patch baffle.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the modular partition device for the aforementioned auxiliary channel, the main substrate includes a bottom plate, a left side plate, a top plate, and a right side plate. The right side plate is an inclined plate that extends to the left at its upper end. The upper part of the right side plate is bent upwards and to the right to form a V-shaped groove. The upper part of the left side plate is connected to the left end of the top plate. A U-shaped elastic block is set on the top plate. A gap is left between the right end of the top plate and the upper part of the right side plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the modular partition device for the aforementioned auxiliary passage, the left side plate is an inclined plate that extends to the right at its upper end.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the modular partition device for the aforementioned auxiliary channel, in its natural state, the thickness of the U-shaped groove of the U-shaped elastic block is less than the thickness of the first plate segment of the patch baffle.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the modular partition device for the aforementioned auxiliary channel, the surface of the main substrate is coated with a polyurethane protective layer.

[0015] This invention has the following advantages over the prior art: This utility model provides a modular partition device for an auxiliary channel. A V-shaped groove is provided on the upper right part of the main substrate, which cooperates with the junction of the left end of the crossbeam and the curved plate to form abutment and limiting position. Simultaneously, a U-shaped elastic block is provided on the top of the main substrate. Through the elastic engagement between the U-shaped groove of the U-shaped elastic block and the patch baffle, dual limiting protection is achieved for the modular partition device. This ensures the sealing effect while allowing for sealing or releasing operations simply by pushing the main substrate flat. The operation is convenient and quick, and eliminates the risk of damage to the equipment surface. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of this utility model and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes. However, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0020] See Figures 1 to 2This embodiment discloses a modular partition device for an auxiliary channel. The auxiliary channel includes a horizontal feeding channel 1, a horizontal discharging channel 2, and a vertical direct tray channel 3, all mounted on a receiving machine. The horizontal discharging channel 2 includes a horizontal discharging conveyor belt 5 mounted on a discharging conveyor frame 4. A crossbeam 6 is fixed on the receiving machine above the horizontal discharging conveyor belt 5. A curved plate 7 is fixed to the left end of the crossbeam 6. An inclined sliding plate 8 is slidably mounted on the curved plate 7. The bottom surface of the sliding plate 8 is provided with a patch baffle, which includes a first plate segment 9 and a second plate segment 10 forming an angle. The crossbeam 6 limits the height of cigarettes in the horizontal discharging channel 2, preventing excessive stacking of cigarettes. The sliding plate 8 can slide freely along the curved plate 7, thereby flexibly adjusting the position of the patch baffle mounted on it. It presses the cigarettes at the feeding end of the horizontal discharging channel 2 against itself by its own weight, thus adaptively limiting the height of cigarettes at the feeding end of the horizontal discharging channel 2.

[0021] The modular partition device includes a main base plate placed between the patch baffle and the horizontal discharge conveyor belt 5. The upper right part of the main base plate has a V-shaped groove 11 with an opening facing right, and the angle of the V-shaped groove 11 is 80°~90°. A junction 12 is formed at the junction of the left end of the crossbeam 6 and the curved plate 7. The V-shaped groove 11 of the main base plate matches the junction 12, and both can slide in the front-back direction. A U-shaped elastic locking block 13 with a rearward opening is provided at the top of the main base plate. The U-shaped groove 14 within the U-shaped elastic locking block 13 can elastically engage with the first plate segment 9 of the patch baffle. In its natural state, the thickness of the U-shaped groove 14 of the U-shaped elastic locking block 13 is less than the thickness of the first plate segment 9 of the patch baffle, causing the U-shaped groove 14 of the U-shaped elastic locking block 13 to elastically deform under thrust, forming an interference fit with the first plate segment 9 of the patch baffle.

[0022] The modular partition device is integrally formed by 3D printing of PLA or PETG. The surface of the main substrate is coated with a polyurethane protective layer, which effectively avoids damage to the equipment surface caused by friction between the main substrate and the equipment surface. The main substrate includes a bottom plate 15, a left side plate 16, a top plate 17, and a right side plate 18. The left side plate 16 is an inclined plate extending to the right at its upper end, and the right side plate 18 is an inclined plate extending to the left at its upper end. The upper section of the right side plate 18 is bent upward and to the right to form a V-shaped groove 11. The upper end of the left side plate 16 is connected to the left end of the top plate 17. A U-shaped elastic block 13 is set on the top plate 17. A gap is left between the right end of the top plate 17 and the upper end of the right side plate 18.

[0023] When conveying irregularly shaped cigarettes, the horizontal discharge channel 2 needs to be blocked. The blocking operation is as follows: The operator holds the main substrate and moves it to the front of the feed end of the horizontal discharge channel 2, ensuring the bottom surface of the main substrate is against the horizontal discharge conveyor belt 5. The position of the patch baffle is adjusted so that it is above the top surface of the main substrate, and the first segment 9 of the patch baffle aligns with the U-shaped groove 14 within the U-shaped elastic block 13. The main substrate is then pushed horizontally from front to back. Under continuous pushing force, the U-shaped groove 14 within the U-shaped elastic block 13 expands elastically until the first segment 9 of the patch baffle is fully embedded in the U-shaped groove 14. The rebound force generated by the deformation of the U-shaped elastic block 13 achieves self-locking. Simultaneously, the V-shaped groove 11 on the upper right of the main substrate slides from front to back along the junction 12 where the left end of the crossbeam 6 intersects with the curved plate 7. When the main substrate is fully pushed into place, the V-shaped groove 11 and the junction 12 abut against each other. This effectively seals the horizontal discharge channel 2.

[0024] When it is necessary to release the horizontal discharge channel 2, simply pull out the main substrate in the reverse direction. The entire blocking or releasing operation only requires pushing the main substrate, takes only a few seconds, is convenient and quick, and requires no tools.

[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
