Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette rod conveying technology, and in particular to a cigarette rod sliding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of conveying cigarette sticks from the rolling and packaging station to the cigarette stick stacking station, the packaged cigarette sticks are usually first conveyed to the drop area corresponding to the cigarette stick stacking conveyor line via a high-level conveyor line connected to the output end of the rolling and packaging equipment. Then, via a chute located in the drop area and connected to the discharge end of the high-level conveyor line, the cigarette sticks on the high-level conveyor line are guided to a conveyor line in the middle position. The middle conveyor line then conveys the cigarette sticks to the drop outlet connected to the discharge end of the conveyor line. Next, the cigarette sticks enter another chute connected to the drop outlet through the drop outlet. Finally, the cigarette sticks are conveyed to the cigarette stick stacking station by the other chute and the cigarette stick conveyor line connected to the discharge end of the other chute, where the cigarette sticks are stacked.

[0003] Although the conveyor line laid between the cigarette rolling station and the cigarette stacking station can transport the rolled cigarettes from the rolling station to the stacking station for stacking, there are still the following defects in the process of transporting cigarettes using this conveyor line: due to the different conveying postures of the cigarettes in the middle of the conveyor line, some cigarettes with postures that span the conveyor surface cannot easily fall when they are transported to the drop port connected to the discharge end of the conveyor line. This causes a large area of ​​cigarettes waiting to continue falling from the drop port to be stuck in the conveyor line, which indirectly affects the subsequent stacking efficiency of the cigarettes.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an auxiliary cigarette bar sliding structure to solve the problem of cigarette bars waiting to fall from the cigarette bar sliding opening being stuck or blocked in the cigarette bar sliding opening. Utility Model Content

[0014] Preferably, the idler conveyor has an idler conveying frame located inside the tobacco stick conveying frame. The side wall of the idler conveying frame is connected to another inner side wall of the tobacco stick conveying frame. A gap is left between the side wall of the idler conveying frame near the conveyor belt and the conveyor belt. The idler and the conveyor belt are arranged parallel to each other and on the same conveying plane inside the tobacco stick conveying frame. The idler conveying frame extends from the upstream tobacco stick conveying frame to the tobacco stick sliding opening on the downstream tobacco stick conveying frame. The discharge end of the idler conveying frame is connected to the feed end of the tobacco stick sliding opening.

[0015] Preferably, the sliding track has two arc-shaped guide side plates, which together with the arc-shaped sliding bottom plate of the sliding track define a channel for the cigarette bar to slide down.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] like Figure 1-9 As shown, to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0035] Example

[0036] Existing conveyor lines laid between the cigarette rolling station and the cigarette stacking station can transport the rolled cigarettes from the rolling station to the stacking station for stacking. However, this conveyor line has the following drawbacks: due to the different conveying postures of the cigarettes in the middle of the conveyor line, some cigarettes with postures spanning the conveyor surface cannot easily fall down when they reach the drop outlet connected to the discharge end of the conveyor line. This causes a large area of ​​cigarettes waiting to fall from the drop outlet to remain stuck in the conveyor line, indirectly affecting the subsequent stacking efficiency. Therefore, this application proposes a cigarette sliding mechanism to solve the problem of cigarettes waiting to fall from the drop outlet being stuck or blocked in the cigarette sliding outlet.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The cigarette stick sliding mechanism includes a sliding track 1, a cigarette stick conveying component 2, a cigarette stick pressing component 7, and a second sliding track 10. The cigarette stick conveying component 2 includes a cigarette stick conveying frame 3, a belt conveyor 4, and an idler roller conveyor 5. The feeding end of the cigarette stick conveying frame 3 is connected to the discharge end of the sliding track 1. The belt conveyor 3 and the idler roller conveyor 4 are installed inside the cigarette stick conveying frame 3. The belt conveyor 4 and the idler roller conveyor 5 are arranged in parallel within the cigarette stick conveying frame 3 and are on the same conveying plane. The belt conveyor 4 extends from the upstream cigarette stick conveying frame 3 to the end of the downstream cigarette stick conveying frame 3. The idler roller conveyor 5 extends from the upstream cigarette stick conveying frame 3 to the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 on the downstream cigarette stick conveying frame 3. The feeding end of the cigarette pack 6 is connected to the discharge end of the idler roller conveyor 4. The cigarette pack sliding port 6 is set parallel to a portion of the belt conveyor 4 at the downstream cigarette pack conveyor frame 3. The cigarette pack sliding port 6 is located on the path of the idler roller conveyor 5 before it extends to the end of the downstream cigarette pack conveyor frame 3. The cigarette pack pressing component 7 includes a lifting drive component 8 and a pressing brush 9. The pressing brush 9 is located directly above the cigarette pack sliding port 6. The lifting end of the lifting drive component 8 is connected to the connecting end of the pressing brush 9. The fixing end of the lifting drive component 8 is connected to one of the outer side walls of the cigarette pack conveyor frame 3. The feeding end of the second sliding channel 10 is connected to the discharge end of the cigarette pack sliding port 6. The discharge end of the second sliding channel 10 is connected to the feeding end of the cigarette pack stacking conveyor line.

[0038] In practical application, when the cigarette stick is conveyed to the cigarette stick lowering opening 6 via the lowering channel 1 and the cigarette stick conveyor 2 and remains at the lowering opening 6, the lifting drive 8 at the lowering opening 6 can be driven to drive the pressing brush 9 to descend vertically and press the cigarette stick remaining at the lowering opening 6, so that the cigarette stick can fall normally from the lowering opening 6. After the cigarette stick remaining at the lowering opening 6 has fallen from the lowering opening 6, the lifting drive 8 is driven to drive the pressing brush 9 to rise vertically, so that the cigarette sticks in the cigarette stick conveyor 3 can continue to fall normally from the lowering opening 6, thus solving the problem that when one cigarette stick is left at the lowering opening 6, other cigarette sticks waiting to fall in the cigarette stick conveyor 3 will also be left behind.

[0039] In addition to solving the problem that when one cigarette stick is stuck in the cigarette stick chute 6, other cigarette sticks waiting to fall are stuck in the cigarette stick conveyor 3, this application also solves the problem of adjusting the posture of the cigarette sticks during transportation so that the cigarette sticks placed on the cigarette stick stacking conveyor line are suitable for the posture of subsequent cigarette stick stacking.

[0040] The specific process of adjusting the cigarette stick's posture is as follows: The cigarette sticks that are on the high-level conveyor line and are in a horizontal standing position first slide down the slide chute 1 to the cigarette stick conveyor 2. Once inside the cigarette stick conveyor 2, the cigarette sticks are adjusted to a flat position. Then, the flat and horizontally arranged cigarette sticks continue to slide down through the cigarette stick slide opening 6 and slide chute 2 10 to the low-level cigarette stick stacking conveyor line. The cigarette sticks that fall into the low-level cigarette stick stacking conveyor line are still in a flat position. This flat position is the appropriate position for cigarette stick stacking.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 The lifting drive component 8, which is used to drive the pressing brush to press the tobacco stick stuck at the tobacco stick sliding opening 6, so that the tobacco stick can smoothly slide down from the tobacco stick sliding opening 6, includes an L-shaped connecting frame 11 and a cylinder 12; wherein, the L-shaped connecting frame 11 is used as the base for mounting the cylinder 12; the cylinder 12 is used as the driving source to drive the pressing brush 9 to rise or fall in the vertical direction.

[0042] Specifically, the first end of the L-shaped connecting frame 11 is connected to one of the outer side walls of the cigarette conveying frame 3, the second end of the L-shaped connecting frame 11 is connected to the top of the connecting block 32, the bottom of the connecting block 32 is connected to the fixed end of the cylinder 12, the driving end of the cylinder 12 is connected to the mounting plate 10 of the pressing brush 9, the bristles of the pressing brush 9 are connected to the mounting plate 10, and the bristles of the pressing brush 9 face the cigarette sliding opening 6.

[0043] In practical application, the pressing brush 9 is used to press the tobacco stick stuck at the tobacco stick sliding opening 6. When the tobacco stick stuck at the tobacco stick sliding opening 6 falls normally, the cylinder 12 can be driven to drive the piston rod of the cylinder 12 to drive the pressing brush 9 to press down the tobacco stick stuck at the tobacco stick sliding opening 6, and the tobacco stick will fall from the tobacco stick sliding opening 6. After the tobacco stick falls, the cylinder 12 is driven again to drive the piston rod of the cylinder 12 to drive the pressing brush 9 to rise, so that the tobacco sticks waiting to fall in the tobacco stick conveyor 3 can continue to be conveyed to the tobacco stick sliding opening 6 and continue to fall from the tobacco stick sliding opening 6.

[0044] It should be noted that the cylinder in this application can also be replaced with an electric cylinder, or other corresponding telescopic drive components can be selected according to actual needs.

[0045] Please see Figure 5 The belt conveyor 4, which works in conjunction with the idler roller conveyor 5 to convey the cigarette bars that slide down the slide rail 1, includes a first pulley 33, a second pulley 34, and a conveyor belt 14; wherein the first pulley 33 and the second pulley 34 serve as the base for the transmission of the conveyor belt 14; and the conveyor belt 14 serves as the medium for conveying the cigarette bars.

[0046] Specifically, the first pulley 33 and the second pulley 34 are rotatably connected to one of the inner walls of the cigarette conveyor frame 3 via a rotating shaft. The first pulley 33 and the second pulley 34 are located at both ends of the cigarette conveyor frame 3. The first pulley 33 is connected to the second pulley 34 via a conveyor belt 14. The conveyor belt 14 extends from the upstream cigarette conveyor frame 3 to the end of the downstream cigarette conveyor frame 3. The conveyor belt 14 and the idler roller conveyor 5 are arranged in parallel within the cigarette conveyor frame 3 and are on the same conveying plane.

[0047] In practical application, when the cigarette sticks slide down the slide chute 1 to the upstream cigarette stick conveyor 3 connected to the discharge end of the slide chute 1, the conveyor belt 14 and the idler roller conveyor 5 in the upstream cigarette stick conveyor 3 work together to transport the cigarette sticks input into the upstream cigarette stick conveyor 3 to the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 at the downstream cigarette stick conveyor 3. Since the discharge end of the idler roller conveyor 5 is connected to the cigarette stick sliding opening 6, the cigarette sticks conveyed to the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 will enter the cigarette stick sliding opening 6, and then slide through the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 to the slide chute 2 10. Then the slide chute 2 10 will guide the cigarette sticks to the low-level cigarette stick conveyor line, and finally the low-level cigarette stick conveyor line will transport them to the cigarette stick stacking area for cigarette stick stacking.

[0048] It should be noted that, in order to improve the transmission smoothness between the first pulley 33 and the second pulley 34 and the conveyor belt 14, the first pulley 33 and the second pulley 34 in this application are both synchronous toothed belt pulleys; the conveyor belt 14 in this application is a synchronous toothed belt.

[0049] It should be noted that, in order to provide a rotational power source for the belt conveyor 4, the shaft of the first pulley 33 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor. The first motor is mounted on the outer wall of the cigarette conveyor frame 3, so as to raise the first pulley 22 through the first motor.

[0050] Please see Figure 5 The idler conveyor 5, which works with the conveyor belt 14 to transport tobacco sticks sliding down the slide rail 1, has an idler conveyor frame 15 located inside the tobacco stick conveyor frame 3. The side wall of the idler conveyor frame 15 is connected to another inner side wall of the tobacco stick conveyor frame 3. The idler rollers 17 and the conveyor belt 14 are arranged parallel to each other inside the tobacco stick conveyor frame 3 and are on the same conveying plane. The idler conveyor frame 15 extends from the upstream tobacco stick conveyor frame 3 to the tobacco stick sliding opening 6 on the downstream tobacco stick conveyor frame 3. The discharge end of the idler conveyor frame 15 is connected to the inlet end of the tobacco stick sliding opening 6.

[0051] In practical application, when the cigarette sticks slide down the slide chute 1 to the upstream cigarette stick conveyor 3 connected to the discharge end of the slide chute 1, the conveyor belt 14 and the idler roller conveyor 5 in the upstream cigarette stick conveyor 3 work together to transport the cigarette sticks input into the upstream cigarette stick conveyor 3 to the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 at the downstream cigarette stick conveyor 3. Since the discharge end of the idler roller conveyor 5 is connected to the cigarette stick sliding opening 6, the cigarette sticks conveyed to the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 will enter the cigarette stick sliding opening 6, and then slide through the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 to the slide chute 2 10. Then the slide chute 2 10 will guide the cigarette sticks to the low-level cigarette stick conveyor line, and finally the low-level cigarette stick conveyor line will transport them to the cigarette stick stacking area for cigarette stick stacking.

[0052] It should be noted that, in order to prevent motion interference between the idler conveyor 5 and the running conveyor belt 14, a gap 16 is left between the side wall of the idler conveyor frame 15 of the idler conveyor 5 near the conveyor belt 14 and the conveyor belt 14. In this way, the moving conveyor belt 14 will not interfere with the idler conveyor 5, so as to ensure that the conveyor belt 1 can operate normally and stably. In addition, in order to prevent the conveyor belt 14 from interfering with the side wall of the cigarette conveyor frame 3, a gap is also left between the conveyor belt 1 and one of the inner side walls of the cigarette conveyor frame 3, so as to prevent the conveyor belt 1 from interfering with the inner wall of the cigarette conveyor frame 3.

[0053] It should be noted that the idler conveyor 5 is existing technology and has not been improved or designed. Therefore, its structure will not be described in detail. The idler conveyor 5 is a sprocket and chain driven idler conveyor. Each sprocket is connected to each idler in the idler conveyor 5. Each idler is rotatably connected to the side wall of the idler conveyor frame 15. Each idler extending into the cavity of the idler conveyor frame 15 is connected to a sprocket. One of the sprocket output shafts is connected to the output shaft of the second motor. The second motor is located on the other side wall of the cavity of the idler conveyor frame 15.

[0054] It should be noted that the width between the cigarette stick conveyor racks 3 is approximately matched with the width of the cigarette sticks. That is, there is a small gap between the cigarette sticks and the inner wall of the cigarette stick conveyor rack 3. This small gap is to prevent interference between the cigarette sticks and the inner wall of the cigarette stick conveyor rack 3.

[0055] Please see Figure 7 The cigarette bar conveyor 2, which is used to supply cigarette bars that slide down a transversely arranged conveyor line, has two arc-shaped guide side plates 18 on its sliding track 1. The two arc-shaped guide side plates 18 and the arc-shaped sliding bottom plate 19 of the sliding track 1 together define the channel 20 for the cigarette bar to slide down. The arc-shaped sliding bottom plate 19 is connected to the two arc-shaped guide side plates 18 respectively.

[0056] In practical application, when the cigarette stick slides from the horizontally arranged conveyor line through the lower slide chute 1 to the cigarette stick conveyor 2, the cigarette stick that has slid down into the lower slide chute 1 will slide down along the horizontally arranged conveyor line to the cigarette stick conveyor 2. The cigarette stick conveyor 2 will then transport the falling cigarette stick to the cigarette stick lower slide opening 6, and then slide down through the cigarette stick lower slide opening 6 into the lower slide chute 2 10, from which the cigarette stick will be transported to the lower cigarette stick conveyor line.

[0057] It should be noted that, in order to prevent the cigarette from sliding out of the channel 20 during the process of the cigarette stick sliding down the slide rail 1, several protective strips are connected to the top of the two arc-shaped guide side plates 18. That is, several protective strips are located at the opening of the channel 20, and several protective strips are spaced apart along the top of the arc-shaped guide side plates 18. In this way, the protective strips will restrict the cigarette stick and confine it in the channel 20, preventing the cigarette stick from sliding out of the channel 20.

[0058] Please see Figure 7 The second slide channel 10, which is used to supply the cigarette packs that slide down through the cigarette pack slide port 6, has two arc-shaped guide side plates 21. The two arc-shaped guide side plates 21 and the arc-shaped slide bottom plate 22 of the slide channel 10 together define the second channel 23 for the cigarette pack to slide down. The arc-shaped slide bottom plate 22 is connected to the arc-shaped guide side plates 21 respectively.

[0059] In practical application, when the cigarette stick slides down through the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 to the low-level cigarette stick conveyor line (the low-level cigarette stick conveyor line is connected between the second sliding track 10 and the cigarette stick stacker, and the low-level cigarette stick conveyor line is responsible for conveying the sliding cigarette stick to the cigarette stick stacker), the cigarette stick will slide down along the second sliding track 10 to the low-level cigarette stick conveyor line, and then be conveyed by the low-level cigarette stick conveyor line to the cigarette stick stacker, where the cigarette stick stacker stacks the conveyed cigarette sticks.

[0060] Please see Figure 7 To ensure that the cigarette stick slides down the channel 23 on the sliding track 10 normally and to prevent the cigarette stick from sliding out of the channel 23 on the sliding track 10, the cross-sectional profile of the arc-shaped guide side plate 21 is L-shaped.

[0061] In practical applications, as the cigarette stick slides down the channel 23 in the sliding track 10, the cross-sectional profile of the arc-shaped guide side plate 21 is L-shaped. The guide area defined between the two arc-shaped guide side plates 21 will allow the cigarette stick to slide down the channel 23 normally, thereby preventing the cigarette stick from sliding out of the channel 23.

[0062] Please see Figure 7To prevent the cigarette sticks from being sent out of the downstream end of the cigarette stick conveyor 3 without sliding down the cigarette stick chute 6, two arc-shaped guide side plates 21 near the feeding end of the second chute 10 extend upward and are higher than the cigarette stick conveyor 3. One of the arc-shaped guide side plates 21 has a notch 24 to make way for the roller conveyor 15. The notch 24 is connected to the feeding end of the cigarette stick chute 6. A limit baffle 25 is connected to the end of the cigarette stick conveyor 3 near the cigarette stick chute 6. The limit baffle 25 is higher than the cigarette stick conveyor 3. That is, the limit baffle 25, the two arc-shaped guide side plates 21 higher than the cigarette stick conveyor 3, and the side wall of the cigarette stick conveyor 3 corresponding to the cigarette stick chute 6 define a limiting space to ensure that the cigarette sticks fall from the cigarette stick chute 6.

[0063] In practical application, during the process of the cigarette stick being transported from the upstream cigarette stick conveyor 3 to the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 on the downstream cigarette stick conveyor 3 via the conveyor belt 14, the limiting baffle 25 at the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 on the downstream cigarette stick conveyor 3, the two arc-shaped guide side plates 21 higher than the cigarette stick conveyor 3, and the side wall of the cigarette stick conveyor 3 corresponding to the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 limit the space to ensure that the cigarette stick falls from the cigarette stick sliding opening 6. Therefore, the cigarette stick can fall from the cigarette stick sliding opening 6 and will not fall directly from the end of the downstream cigarette stick conveyor 3.

[0064] Please see Figure 7 During the process of the cigarette stick sliding from the vertical slide 10 to the horizontal slide 10, in order to ensure that the cigarette stick slides down more smoothly, the slide 10 has a vertical slide section 26 and an arc slide section 27. A brush component 28 is provided at the transition between the vertical slide section 26 and the arc slide section 27. The connecting end of the brush component 28 is detachably connected to the two arc guide side plates 21 of the slide 1. Each brush roller 29 in the brush component 28 is located in the channel 23 of the cigarette pack sliding down.

[0065] In practical application, as the cigarette stick slides from the vertical sliding track 2 10 to the horizontal sliding track 2 10, since the sliding track 2 10 has a vertical sliding section 26 and an arc-shaped sliding section 27, and a brush component 28 is provided at the transition between the vertical sliding section 26 and the arc-shaped sliding section 27, each brush roller 29 in the brush component 28 located in the channel 2 23 will block the falling cigarette stick to slow it down, thereby avoiding the situation where the cigarette stick is dented due to being hit by the falling cigarette stick too fast.

[0066] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9The brush component 28 used to decelerate the cigarette stick includes a connecting seat 30 and a brush roller 29. The connecting seat 30 is connected to two arc-shaped guide side plates 21 and serves as the base for mounting the brush roller 29. The brush roller 29 is used to decelerate the cigarette stick so that it smoothly transitions from the vertical sliding section 26 to the arc-shaped sliding section 27, thereby preventing the cigarette stick from sliding out at the transition point between the vertical sliding section 26 and the arc-shaped sliding section 27.

[0067] Specifically, the connecting seat 30 is located at the transition between the vertical sliding section 26 and the arc-shaped sliding section 27. The connecting seat 30 is connected to two arc-shaped guide side plates 21 respectively. The inner wall of the connecting seat 30 is connected to one end of the brush roller 29. The outer wall of the brush roller 29 has several bristles 31.

[0068] In practical application, as the cigarette stick slides from the vertical sliding section 26 to the transition point between the vertical sliding section 26 and the arc-shaped sliding section 27, the bristles 31 on the brush roller 29 at the transition point between the vertical sliding section 26 and the arc-shaped sliding section 27 will slow down the cigarette stick by interfering with it. This not only prevents the falling cigarette stick from hitting the arc-shaped sliding section due to excessive speed and causing dents in the appearance of the cigarette stick, but also allows the cigarette stick to smoothly transition from the vertical sliding section 26 to the arc-shaped sliding section 27.

[0069] It should be noted that while the bristles 31 of the brush roller 29 may interfere with the tobacco stick during its descent to slow it down, they do not completely prevent it from falling. Furthermore, the brush roller 29 specifically includes a brush seat and bristles connected to it. The brush seat is located outside the second channel 23, while the bristles connected to it are located inside the second channel 23. This means that when the bristles 31 obstruct the tobacco stick, it is only a flexible obstruction; the brush seat does not rigidly obstruct it. In other words, the falling tobacco pack will not be completely blocked.

[0070] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that many other modifications and implementations can be devised by those skilled in the art, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various variations and modifications can be made to the components and / or layout of the subject matter combination within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims. Besides variations and modifications to the components and / or layout, other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
