Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco machinery, specifically relating to an anti-smoke strip overlap device for an exit runway. Background Technology
[0002] In cigarette production, the transparent paper wrapping layer of the cigarette carton is heat-sealed together by heating with a soldering iron to form the shape. In actual production, when the cigarette cartons are conveyed on the exit runway, two cigarette cartons may end up together after being heat-sealed, causing overlapping conveying and resulting in blockages in the next process, or even machine shutdown. This utility model is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a device to prevent smoke bar overlap on the exit runway, thereby avoiding smoke bar overlap on the exit runway and preventing blockage or even machine shutdown in the next process.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An exit runway anti-overlapping device for cigarette sticks includes a cigarette stick storage box 2, a cigarette stick exit runway 3 in the middle of the cigarette stick storage box 2, and an intercepting bar 1 at the upper end of the cigarette stick exit runway 3.
[0006] Preferably, the intercepting rod 1 has three sections: a fixed section 11, an adjusting section 12, and an intercepting section 13; the intercepting surface 131 of the intercepting section 13 for intercepting overlapping cigarette strips is an inclined surface; the angle α between the inclined surface and the horizontal plane is 45°-75°.
[0007] Preferably, the cigarette stick storage box 2 is arranged on the left and right sides of the cigarette stick outlet track 3, and the height of the track wall 21 of the left and right side boxes of the cigarette stick outlet track 3 is slightly lower than the height of the cigarette stick; the intercepting rod 1 is fixed to the cigarette stick storage box 2 through the fixing hole 24 of the track wall 21 of the left and right side boxes.
[0008] Preferably, the distance h between the bottom wall of the cigarette stick outlet track 3 and the top wall of the cigarette stick storage box 2 is greater than the height of the cigarette stick.
[0009] Preferably, the height of the right side wall 26 of the right side box of the cigarette holder 2 is greater than the height of the cigarettes. The inner surface of the right side wall is an arc-shaped surface 22, and the left end of the arc-shaped surface 22 extends to the bottom wall of the cigarette holder 2 under the exit runway 3 and to the bottom wall of the left side box of the cigarette holder 2. The height of the right side wall 26 being greater than the height of the cigarettes prevents the cigarettes from falling out of the cigarette holder 2. The arc-shaped surface 22 of the inner surface of the right side wall of the cigarette holder 2 allows the cigarettes to slide down along the arc-shaped surface 22 into the left side box of the holder. The height of the three side walls of the left side box is slightly lower than the height of the cigarettes, making it convenient for the operator to retrieve the cigarettes.
[0010] Preferably, the height of the right front side wall 25 of the right side box of the cigarette pack storage box 2 is equal to the height of the runway wall 21; the height of the right rear side wall 27 of the right side box is set such that the height of the left half wall is equal to the height of the runway wall 21, and the height of the right half wall is equal to the height of the right side wall 26.
[0011] Preferably, the height of the left side wall 23 of the left side box of the cigarette storage box 2 is equal to the height of the runway wall 21.
[0012] The cigarette pack storage box 2 is designed based on the trend of cigarette packs falling.
[0013] Preferably, the width of the cigarette stick exit track 3 is greater than the height of the cigarette stick but less than the length of the cigarette stick. That is, the distance between the two track walls 21 is greater than the height of the cigarette stick but less than the length of the cigarette stick, so as to facilitate the movement of the cigarette stick on the exit track.
[0014] The working steps of the exit runway anti-overlapping cigarette stick device of this utility model are as follows: Adjust the position and angle of the intercepting surface 131 of the intercepting section 13 of the intercepting bar; when overlapping cigarette sticks enter the exit runway 3, the intercepting surface 131 intercepts and blocks the cigarette sticks on top of the overlapping cigarette sticks, causing them to fall into the right side box of the cigarette stick storage box 2; slide down through the arc surface 22 and continue to slide to the bottom of the cigarette stick storage box 2; after multiple overlapping cigarette sticks are intercepted and blocked, multiple cigarette sticks slide into the left side box of the cigarette stick storage box 2; since the height of the left side box wall 23 of the three side walls of the left side box of the cigarette stick storage box 2 is equal to the height of the runway wall 21 and lower than the height of the cigarette sticks, it is convenient for the operator to take out the cigarette sticks from the cigarette stick storage box 2 for the next step of the process.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This utility model presents a self-designed anti-smoke strip overlap device for the exit runway, featuring a simple structure and readily available materials. This device solves the problem of smoke strip overlap and blockage on the exit runway, which can even lead to machine shutdowns.

[0025] In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the terms used above should not be construed as necessarily referring to the same embodiments or examples. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. Moreover, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification.
[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an anti-overlapping device for cigarette sticks on an exit runway, comprising a cigarette stick storage box 2, a cigarette stick exit runway 3 in the middle of the cigarette stick storage box 2, and an intercepting bar 1 at the upper end of the cigarette stick exit runway 3. Figure 4 As shown, the arrow points in the direction of the cigarette stick's movement.
[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the intercepting rod 1 consists of three sections: a fixed section 11, an adjusting section 12, and an intercepting section 13. The intercepting surface 131 of the intercepting section 13, which intercepts overlapping cigarette strips, is an inclined surface. The angle α between the inclined surface and the horizontal plane is 45°-75°. This design of the intercepting section 13 ensures that the inclined surface is most effective in intercepting overlapping cigarette strips.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the cigarette stick storage box 2 is arranged on the left and right sides of the cigarette stick outlet track 3. The height of the track wall 21 of the left and right side boxes of the cigarette stick outlet track 3 is slightly lower than the height of the cigarette stick. This arrangement is conducive to the cigarette stick entering the cigarette stick storage box 2 after being intercepted. The interception rod 1 is fixed to the cigarette stick storage box 2 through the fixing hole 24 of the track wall 21 of the left and right side boxes.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the distance h between the bottom wall of the cigarette stick outlet track 3 and the top wall of the cigarette stick storage box 2 is greater than the height of the cigarette stick. This arrangement is beneficial for the cigarette stick to slide down from the right side box along the arc surface 22 to the left side box.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the height of the right side wall 26 of the right side box of the cigarette holder 2 is greater than the height of the cigarettes. The inner surface of the right side wall is an arc-shaped surface 22. The left end of the arc-shaped surface 22 extends to the bottom wall of the cigarette holder 2 under the exit runway 3 and also extends to the bottom wall of the left side box of the cigarette holder 2. The height of the right side wall 26, which is greater than the height of the cigarettes, prevents the cigarettes from falling out of the cigarette holder 2. The arc-shaped surface 22 of the inner surface of the right side wall of the cigarette holder 2 allows the cigarettes to slide down along the arc-shaped surface 22 into the left side box. The height of the three side walls of the left side box is slightly lower than the height of the cigarettes, making it convenient for operators to retrieve the cigarettes.
[0031] Preferably, the height of the right front side wall 25 of the right side box of the cigarette holder 2 is equal to the height of the runway wall 21; this arrangement is conducive to intercepting overlapping cigarettes into the right side box; the right rear side wall 27 of the right side box is set such that the height of the left half wall is equal to the height of the runway wall 21, and the height of the right half wall is equal to the height of the right side wall 26; this arrangement is conducive to intercepting overlapping cigarettes into the right side box and preventing them from being intercepted outside the cigarette holder 2.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the height of the left side wall 23 of the three side walls of the left side box of the cigarette pack storage box 2 is equal to the height of the runway wall 21. That is, the height of the left side wall 23 of the three side walls of the left side box is slightly lower than the height of the cigarette pack, which makes it easier for the operator to take out the cigarette pack from the left side box.
[0033] The design of the cigarette pack storage box 2 is based on the interception and falling trend of cigarette packs.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the width of the cigarette stick exit runway 3 is greater than the height of the cigarette stick but less than its length. That is, the distance between the two runway walls 21 is greater than the height of the cigarette stick but less than its length, which is beneficial for the cigarette stick to move forward on the exit runway.
[0035] The working steps of the exit runway smoke bar overlap device of this utility model are as follows: Adjust the position and angle of the intercepting surface 131 of the intercepting section 13 of the intercepting bar; when overlapping smoke bars enter the exit runway 3, such as Figure 4 As indicated by the arrow, the intercepting surface 131 intercepts and blocks the top layer of overlapping cigarette sticks, causing them to fall into the right side box of the cigarette stick storage box 2. Then, they slide down through the curved surface 22 and continue to slide to the bottom of the cigarette stick storage box 2. After multiple overlapping cigarette sticks are intercepted and blocked, they slide into the left side box of the cigarette stick storage box 2. Since the height of the left side box wall 23 of the three side walls of the left side box of the cigarette stick storage box 2 is slightly lower than the height of the cigarette sticks, it is convenient for the operator to take out the cigarette sticks from the left side box and proceed to the next step.
[0036] This utility model presents a self-designed anti-smoke strip overlap device for the exit runway, featuring a simple structure and readily available materials. This device solves the problem of smoke strip overlap and blockage on the exit runway, which can even lead to machine shutdowns. It ensures continuous production, reduces downtime frequency, and decreases the workload of operators.
[0037] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, nor is the present invention limited to the examples described above. Any changes, modifications, additions, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
