Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a horizontally powered machine for sorting multiple grades of cigarette packs, belonging to the category of cigarette pack sorting devices in the tobacco industry. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the tobacco industry, many different sizes of non-standard cigarette cartons have emerged in the market to meet diverse consumer needs. Tobacco logistics and distribution centers need to sort cigarette cartons of different grades and quantities according to customer orders. Therefore, cigarette sorting equipment must be capable of sorting multiple grades of cigarette cartons. However, many current sorting devices do not possess this capability. While some sorting devices do have this capability, adjusting them when sorting different grades is cumbersome. In today's increasingly competitive market, time is money, and such equipment with long adjustment times can no longer meet customer demands.

[0003] Furthermore, current cigarette sorting devices use conveyor channels that are either horizontal or angled. While angled channels eliminate the need for a drive unit, the varying friction forces experienced by different layers of cigarettes during transport can lead to misalignment and scattering of the stacks. Similarly, in horizontal conveyor channels, the cigarettes are also subject to friction from the side plates, causing further misalignment and scattering. Utility Model Content

This machine can handle the sorting of multiple types of cigarette packs. When sorting different types of cigarette packs, adjustments are relatively simple, and during the conveying process in the conveyor channel, it is less likely that the upper and lower layers of cigarette packs will be misaligned and scattered.

The vertical plate of the L-shaped mounting plate extends into the horizontal smoke pushing channel. A horizontal smoke pushing cylinder and a guide sleeve are fixed on the side wall of the vertical plate. The push rod head of the horizontal smoke pushing cylinder is connected to a horizontal smoke pushing plate. A guide rod is connected between the horizontal smoke pushing plate and the guide sleeve.

[0007] The execution smoke chamber mechanism includes multiple execution smoke chamber vertical rods, and execution smoke chamber horizontal rods are connected between the multiple execution smoke chamber vertical rods on the same side. Multiple sets of smoke chamber side plates are installed between the execution smoke chamber horizontal rods on the front and rear sides to form multiple vertical smoke chambers. Multiple sliding grooves are provided on the execution smoke chamber horizontal rods, and bolts connecting the smoke chamber side plates and the execution smoke chamber horizontal rods pass through the sliding grooves.

[0008] In the aforementioned horizontal power horizontal machine for sorting multi-specification cigarette packs, the horizontal cigarette feeding mechanism includes an upper frame structure and a lower frame structure. The upper frame structure and the lower frame structure are connected by supporting columns to form a complete frame structure. The upper frame structure and the lower frame structure each include two longitudinal beams, which are connected and fixed together by multiple crossbeams. The horizontal cigarette feeding channel includes a horizontal chain conveyor belt arranged along its length inside the frame structure. Side plates are provided on both sides above the horizontal chain conveyor belt. A notch is provided at the tail end of the right side plate to connect the horizontal cigarette feeding channel with the adjacent horizontal cigarette pushing channel. A lateral cigarette pushing mechanism is provided in the horizontal cigarette pushing channel on the side of the notch. A horizontal cigarette pushing mechanism is provided in front of the lateral cigarette pushing mechanism. The top and bottom of the side plate are connected to the crossbeams through a lower support plate and an upper connecting plate, respectively. The bolts connecting the lower support plate to the crossbeams are inserted into their slots. Multiple sliding grooves are provided at intervals on the upper connecting plate, and the bolts connecting the side plate to the upper connecting plate pass through the sliding grooves.

[0009] In the aforementioned horizontal power horizontal machine for sorting multi-specification cigarette packs, a cigarette lifting plate is provided at the tail end of the horizontal chain conveyor belt near the side of the horizontal cigarette pushing channel, and the cigarette lifting plate extends into the adjacent horizontal cigarette pushing channel.

[0010] In the aforementioned horizontal power machine for sorting multi-specification cigarette packs, the side plate includes a front side plate, which is a double-layer corrugated plate structure. The double-layer corrugated plates are connected and fixed together by connecting ribs. The connecting ribs at the top and bottom of the front side plate form an embedding groove with the double-layer corrugated plates. The bolts connecting the front side plate to the lower support plate and the upper connecting plate slide into the embedding groove.

[0011] In the aforementioned horizontal power horizontal machine for sorting multi-specification cigarette packs, the horizontal cigarette feeding channel and the horizontal cigarette pushing channel are spaced apart from the back of the execution cigarette bin mechanism. The lateral cigarette pushing mechanism is located between the two. The back of the execution cigarette bin mechanism is also provided with multiple left side baffles. The lateral cigarette pushing mechanism includes a mounting box, which is fixed to the crossbeam of the frame structure and the execution cigarette bin mechanism. A lateral cigarette pushing cylinder is installed at the bottom of the mounting box. The push rod head of the lateral cigarette pushing cylinder is connected to a lateral cigarette pushing plate. When the push rod is pushed out, it crosses the left side of the horizontal cigarette feeding channel, and the lateral cigarette pushing plate is embedded in the groove on the inner wall of the left side baffle at the end of the horizontal cigarette feeding channel, so that the surface of the lateral cigarette pushing plate is flush with the surface of the left side plate of the horizontal cigarette feeding channel.

[0012] In the aforementioned horizontal power machine for sorting multi-specification cigarette packs, each cigarette bin side plate has a lifting plate at its bottom. The two ends of the lifting plate extend outside the cigarette bin mechanism. A cigarette pack striking mechanism is installed between two lifting plates in the same vertical cigarette bin. The cigarette pack striking mechanism includes a striking mechanism frame, a conveyor chain on the striking mechanism frame, and striking blocks fixed on the conveyor chain. A chain drive mechanism and multiple adjusting support rods are provided at the bottom of the striking mechanism frame. The adjusting support rods pass through the sliding grooves on the crossbar of the cigarette bin at the bottom of the cigarette bin mechanism and are locked in place by adjusting nuts.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0014] (1) The side plate is connected to the crossbeam through the lower support plate and the upper connecting plate. By setting a slot on the crossbeam or a sliding groove on the upper connecting plate, when a certain horizontal smoke delivery channel needs to deliver smoke of other sizes, the connecting bolts can be moved along the slot or sliding groove to adjust the position of the side plate, thereby adjusting the width of the horizontal smoke delivery channel to correspond to smoke of different sizes.

[0015] (2) By setting a groove on the crossbar of the tobacco bin, when a vertical tobacco bin needs to store tobacco of other sizes, the bolts connecting the side plate of the tobacco bin can be moved along the groove to adjust the position of the side plate of the tobacco bin, thereby adjusting the width of the vertical tobacco bin to accommodate tobacco of different sizes.

[0016] (3) By setting an adjustable support rod at the bottom of the striking mechanism frame, the height of the cigarette striking mechanism can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting nut when the thickness of the cigarette to be struck changes, so as to correspond to different sizes of cigarettes;

[0017] (4) By setting the side plate of the horizontal smoke delivery channel as a corrugated plate structure, the surface-to-surface contact between the smoke strips and the side plate is changed to surface-to-line contact, which reduces the contact area between the smoke strips and the side plate, thereby reducing the friction between the two and avoiding the situation where the upper and lower layers of smoke strips are misaligned and scattered when the smoke is transported in the horizontal smoke delivery channel due to the different friction forces on the upper and lower layers of smoke strips.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] 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.

[0030] An embodiment of this utility model: A device for sorting multi-specification cigarette packs using a horizontal power-driven horizontal machine, comprising a horizontal cigarette feeding mechanism 1, an execution cigarette bin mechanism 2 at the tail end of the horizontal cigarette feeding mechanism 1, the horizontal cigarette feeding mechanism 1 including multiple horizontally spaced horizontal cigarette feeding channels 3, the gap on the right side of each horizontal cigarette feeding channel 3 forming a horizontal cigarette pushing channel 4, a horizontal cigarette pushing mechanism 5 at the end of each horizontal cigarette pushing channel 4, and a lateral cigarette pushing mechanism 6 at the tail end of the horizontal cigarette pushing mechanism 5, the execution cigarette bin mechanism 2 including multiple parallel and spaced vertical cigarette bins 7, the top back opening of each vertical cigarette bin 7 facing a horizontal cigarette pushing channel 4, a baffle 8 on the outer side of the top back of each vertical cigarette bin 7, the baffle 8 being located directly in front of the horizontal cigarette feeding channels 3, and a cigarette striking mechanism 9 at the bottom of each vertical cigarette bin 7.

[0031] A stack of cigarettes, made up of multiple cigarette packs, is fed into the horizontal cigarette feeding channel 3 of the horizontal cigarette feeding mechanism 1 via other conveying mechanisms. The horizontal cigarette feeding channel 3 carries the stack of cigarettes from its head to its tail. When the tailmost stack of cigarettes reaches the baffle 8, the arrival detection switch at the bottom of the baffle 8 sends a signal to the controller. The controller controls the lateral cigarette pushing mechanism 6 to push the tailmost stack of cigarettes into the horizontal cigarette pushing channel 4. While pushing the cigarettes, the lateral cigarette pushing mechanism 6 blocks the stack of cigarettes behind the horizontal cigarette feeding channel 3. When the lateral cigarette pushing mechanism 6 returns to its original position, the blocked stack of cigarettes is conveyed forward again. The stack of cigarettes pushed into the horizontal cigarette pushing channel 4 is then pushed into the vertical cigarette bin 7 by the horizontal cigarette pushing mechanism 5, thus replenishing the vertical cigarette bin 7. When it is necessary to sort the cigarettes in the vertical cigarette bin 7, the bottommost cigarettes in the vertical cigarette bin 7 are knocked out by the cigarette striking mechanism 9.

[0032] The horizontal smoke pushing mechanism 5 includes an L-shaped mounting plate 25. The horizontal plate at the top of the L-shaped mounting plate 25 is fixedly connected to two crossbeams 11 adjacent to the frame structure. The bolts connecting the L-shaped mounting plate 25 to the crossbeams 11 are embedded in the slots 16 of the crossbeams 11, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the installation position of the horizontal smoke pushing mechanism 5. The vertical plate of the L-shaped mounting plate 25 extends into the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4. A horizontal smoke pushing cylinder 26 and a guide sleeve 27 are fixed on the side wall of the vertical plate. The push rod head of the horizontal smoke pushing cylinder 26 is connected to a horizontal smoke pushing plate 28. A guide rod 29 is connected between the horizontal smoke pushing plate 28 and the guide sleeve 27. After the stack of smoke is pushed into the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4, the horizontal smoke pushing cylinder 26 is activated, causing its push rod to extend and push the stack of smoke from the opening on the back of the vertical smoke chamber 7 into the vertical smoke chamber 7 through the horizontal smoke pushing plate 28, thereby achieving the replenishment of smoke to the vertical smoke chamber 7.

[0033] The tobacco storage mechanism 2 includes multiple vertical tobacco storage rods. The multiple vertical tobacco storage rods on the front side are connected by three horizontal tobacco storage rods 30 (upper, middle, and lower). The multiple vertical tobacco storage rods on the rear side have the same structure. Connecting rods also connect the vertical tobacco storage rods on the front and rear sides, forming a frame structure. Multiple sets of tobacco storage side plates 31 are installed between the horizontal tobacco storage rods 30 on the front and rear sides. Each set of tobacco storage side plates 31 constitutes a vertical tobacco storage 7. Multiple sliding grooves 17 are provided on the horizontal tobacco storage rods 30. Bolts connecting the tobacco storage side plates 31 and the horizontal tobacco storage rods 30 pass through the sliding grooves 17. When the size of the tobacco stored in the corresponding vertical tobacco storage 7 changes, the fixing bolts are loosened, allowing the bolts to slide along the sliding grooves 17, thereby adjusting the position of the tobacco storage side plates 31 and changing the size of the vertical tobacco storage 7.

[0034] The horizontal smoke delivery mechanism 1 includes an upper frame structure and a lower frame structure. The upper and lower frame structures are connected by support columns to form a complete frame structure. The frame structure is supported on the ground by support frames. Each of the upper and lower frame structures includes two longitudinal beams 10, which are connected and fixed together by multiple transverse beams 11. The horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 includes a horizontal chain conveyor belt 12 arranged along its length inside the frame structure. The horizontal chain conveyor belt 12 is an existing structure, therefore... The specific structure will not be described in detail here. Side plates 13 are provided on both sides above the horizontal chain conveyor belt 12. The right side plate 13 has a notch at the end so that the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 is connected to the adjacent horizontal smoke pushing channel 4. A lateral smoke pushing mechanism 6 is provided in the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 on one side of the notch. The pushing plate mechanism of the lateral smoke pushing mechanism 6 extends into the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 through the notch so as to push the stacked smoke in the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 into the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 through the notch. A horizontal smoke pushing mechanism 5 is provided in front of the lateral smoke pushing mechanism 6. The top of the side plate 13 is connected to the crossbeam 11 of the upper frame structure via the upper connecting plate 15, and the bottom of the side plate 13 is connected to the crossbeam 11 of the lower frame structure via the lower support plate 14. Both the upper connecting plate 15 and the lower support plate 14 are L-shaped structures. The horizontal plate of the lower support plate 14 is connected to the bottom of the side plate 13 by bolts, and the vertical plate of the lower support plate 14 is also connected to the crossbeam 11 by bolts. The bolts connecting the vertical plate to the crossbeam 11 are inserted into the slots 16 on the crossbeam 11. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the side plate 13, simply loosen the bolts connecting the vertical plate to the crossbeam 11. Multiple grooves 17 are spaced apart on the horizontal plate of the upper connecting plate 15. The vertical plate of the upper connecting plate 15 is connected to the crossbeam 11 by bolts. The bolts connecting the side plate 13 to the horizontal plate of the upper connecting plate 15 pass through the grooves 17 on the horizontal plate. Loosening the bolts passing through the grooves 17 makes it easy to adjust the position of the side plate 13, thereby realizing the adjustment of the width of the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 so as to realize the production of different sizes of cigarette strips.

[0035] A smoke-lifting plate 39 is provided on the side of the horizontal chain conveyor belt 12 near the horizontal smoke-pushing channel 4. The smoke-lifting plate 39 extends into the adjacent horizontal smoke-pushing channel 4. When the stacked smoke is conveyed in the horizontal smoke-feeding channel 3, it is supported by the horizontal chain conveyor belt 12. When it is pushed into the horizontal smoke-pushing channel 4 by the lateral smoke-pushing mechanism 6, it is supported by the smoke-lifting plate 39. The smoke-lifting plate 39 is fixed on the side wall of the tail end of the horizontal chain conveyor belt 12.

[0036] The side plate 13 includes a front side plate 18, which is a double-layer corrugated plate structure. The two layers of corrugated plates are connected and fixed together by connecting ribs 19. The connecting ribs 19 at the top and bottom of the front side plate 18 form an embedding groove 20 with the double-layer corrugated plates. The bolts connecting the front side plate 18 to the lower support plate 14 and the upper connecting plate 15 slide into the embedding groove 20. The corrugated plate structure of the front side plate 18 changes the friction between the cigarette packs and the front side plate 18 from surface-to-surface contact to surface-to-line contact when the cigarette packs are transported in the horizontal cigarette conveying channel 3. This reduces the friction between the front side plate 18 and the cigarette packs and prevents the upper and lower layers of cigarette packs from misaligning and scattering due to different friction forces when they are transported in the horizontal cigarette conveying channel 3. The double-layer corrugated plate structure can improve the strength of the front side plate 18. It also forms an embedded groove 20 at the top and bottom, so that the front side plate 18 can slide arbitrarily along the length of the horizontal smoke delivery mechanism 1 during installation, thereby facilitating the adjustment of its installation position.

[0037] The horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 and the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 are spaced apart from the back of the execution smoke storage mechanism 2. The tail end of the horizontal chain conveyor belt 12 forming the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 extends to the baffle 8 on the back of the execution smoke storage mechanism 2, but the tail end of the side plate 13 of the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 is spaced apart from the back of the execution smoke storage mechanism 2. The horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 is formed by two adjacent side plates 13 of two adjacent horizontal smoke delivery channels 3, so the tail end of the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 is spaced apart from the back of the execution smoke storage mechanism 2. The lateral smoke pushing mechanism 6 is located between the execution smoke storage mechanism 2 and the intervals of the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 and the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4. When the stack of smoke at the tail end of the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 moves close to the baffle 8, the tailmost stack of smoke is laterally pushed by the lateral smoke pushing mechanism 6, so that the pushed stack of smoke can move better from the intervals between the execution smoke storage mechanism 2 and the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 and the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 into the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4. The back of the smoke chamber mechanism 2 is also equipped with multiple left-side baffles 40 at intervals. One end of each left-side baffle 40 is fixed to the smoke chamber mechanism 2, and the upper part of the other end is fixedly connected to the end beam of the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3, and the lower part is fixedly connected to the smoke lifting plate 39. If the horizontal smoke delivery mechanism 1 is provided with 5 horizontal smoke delivery channels 3, then 5 horizontal smoke pushing channels 4 are formed on its right side, and the stacked smoke in the I horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 is finally pushed into the I horizontal smoke pushing channel 4. When the left-side baffles 40 are provided, the I horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 and the II horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 are separated, that is, the upper level horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 is separated from the lower level horizontal smoke delivery channel 3. When the stacked smoke in the I horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 is pushed into the I horizontal smoke pushing channel 4, it is blocked by the left-side baffles 40 between the I horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 and the II horizontal smoke delivery channel 3, preventing the stacked smoke in the I horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 from being pushed into the II horizontal smoke delivery channel 3.

[0038] The lateral smoke pushing mechanism 6 includes a mounting box 21, which is fixed to the crossbeam 11 of the frame structure and the actuating smoke chamber mechanism 2. The bolts connected to the crossbeam 11 are embedded in the slots 16 at the top of the crossbeam 11, while the bolts connected to the actuating smoke chamber mechanism 2 pass through the sliding grooves 17 on the actuating smoke chamber crossbar 30, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the installation position of the lateral smoke pushing mechanism 6. A side-push smoke cylinder 22 is installed at the bottom of the mounting box 21. The push rod of the side-push smoke cylinder 22 is connected to a side-push smoke plate 23. When the push rod of the side-push smoke cylinder 22 is pushed out, it crosses the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 on the left side, and the side-push smoke plate 23 is embedded in the groove 24 on the inner wall of the left side baffle 40 at the end of the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3. This makes the surface of the side-push smoke plate 23 flush with the surface of the left side plate 13 of the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3, so as to prevent the smoke from being transported in the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 and the push rod of the smoke cylinder 22 from being blocked by the side-push smoke plate 23 when it is in the pushed-out state. When the stack of smoke at the end of the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 moves close to the baffle 8, the controller will control the lateral smoke pushing cylinder 22 to retract its push rod. As the lateral smoke pushing plate 23 moves towards the adjacent horizontal smoke pushing channel 4, it will push the stack of smoke at the very end of the horizontal smoke delivery channel 3 into the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4. Since the lateral smoke pushing plate 23 itself has a certain thickness, it will block the stack of smoke behind the horizontal smoke pushing channel 4 during the smoke pushing process, preventing the blocked stack of smoke from moving forward during the lateral smoke pushing process and hindering the lateral smoke pushing plate 23 from returning to its original position.

[0039] Each tobacco bin side plate 31 has a lifting plate 32 at its bottom to support the bottommost packs of cigarettes in the vertical tobacco bin 7. The lifting plates 32 extend to the outside of the tobacco bin mechanism 2, allowing other cigarette conveying mechanisms to be installed on both sides of the lifting plates 32. This allows the cigarettes to be sorted from the vertical tobacco bin 7 by the cigarette striking mechanism 9 and then transported away by the other conveying mechanisms. The presence of these additional cigarette conveying mechanisms on both sides of the lifting plates 32 enables front-to-back sorting of cigarettes, improving sorting efficiency. A cigarette-strip striking mechanism 9 is installed between the two lifting plates 32 of the same vertical cigarette bin 7. The cigarette-strip striking mechanism 9 includes a striking mechanism frame 33, a conveyor chain 34 on the striking mechanism frame 33, and striking blocks 35 fixed on the conveyor chain 34. A chain drive mechanism 36 and multiple adjusting support rods 37 are provided at the bottom of the striking mechanism frame 33. The chain drive mechanism 36 is connected to the conveyor chain 34 and drives the conveyor chain 34 to rotate in both directions. During the rotation of the conveyor chain 34, the striking blocks 35 rotate together. When the striking blocks 35 come into contact with the bottommost cigarette in the vertical cigarette bin 7, they push the bottommost cigarette out of the opening on the side of the bottom of the vertical cigarette bin 7, thus achieving cigarette sorting. The adjusting support rods 37 pass through the slide grooves 17 on the crossbar 30 of the execution cigarette bin mechanism 2 at the bottom and are locked in place by adjusting nuts 38, thereby locking and fixing the cigarette-strip striking mechanism 9. When the dimensions of the vertical tobacco chamber 7 change, loosen the adjusting nut 38 to allow the adjusting support rod 37 to slide along the slide groove 17, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the lateral position of the tobacco strip striking mechanism 9. Similarly, when the thickness of the tobacco strips stored in the vertical tobacco chamber 7 changes, the height of the tobacco strip striking mechanism 9 also needs to be adjusted to ensure that the striking block 35 only contacts the tobacco strips at the bottom of the vertical tobacco chamber 7 during the striking process. When adjusting the height, simply change the position of the adjusting nut 38.
