Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cigarette manufacturing technology, and in particular to cigarette receiving devices and cigarette rolling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the cigarette production process, the cigarettes produced by the cigarette rolling machine need to be transported parallel to the packaging machine via the first conveyor belt. That is, the cigarettes are transferred from the first conveyor belt connected to the cigarette rolling machine outlet to the second conveyor belt connected to the packaging machine inlet. Since there is a certain height difference between the first and second conveyor belts, the cigarettes are usually manually removed from the first conveyor belt and placed flat on the second conveyor belt.

[0003] However, during the manual cigarette receiving process, cigarettes are prone to wrinkling, breaking, or becoming damaged, which cannot guarantee the quality of the cigarettes, resulting in contamination and waste. Furthermore, manual cigarette receiving requires workers to climb between the first and second conveyor belts and manually receive the cigarettes, which poses a risk of injury due to climbing and pinching, making it impossible to guarantee the safety of receiving the cigarettes.

[0004] In response to the above problems, there is an urgent need for a cigarette receiving device and cigarette rolling equipment to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cigarette receiving device and cigarette rolling equipment that eliminates the need for workers to climb between the first and second conveyor belts and manually receive cigarettes. This avoids the safety risks of workers climbing and the risk of pinching injuries when manually receiving cigarettes, thereby ensuring the safety of cigarette receiving.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A cigarette receiving device is used to transfer cigarettes from a first conveyor belt to a second conveyor belt, the first conveyor belt being parallel to and above the second conveyor belt; the cigarette receiving device includes:

[0023] The second driving component is connected to the output end of the transmission component, and the second driving component is connected to the smoke receiving swing arm;

[0024] Wherein, the first driving member is used to drive the transmission member to move, so as to drive the second driving member and the cigarette receiving swing rod to move tilted downward or tilted upward, and the second driving member is used to drive the cigarette receiving swing rod to rotate.

[0025] As an optional solution, the transmission component includes:

[0026] A lead screw is rotatably connected to the bracket, and the output end of the first driving member is connected to the lead screw.

[0027] A lead screw nut is threaded onto the lead screw. The lead screw nut is used to connect to the fixed end of the second driving member. The first driving member drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the lead screw nut to move linearly on the lead screw, thereby driving the second driving member and the smoke receiving swing rod to tilt downwards or tilt upwards.

[0028] As an optional solution, the bracket is provided with a limiting groove extending along its length, and the lead screw nut is slidably limited within the limiting groove; the transmission component further includes:

[0036] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0037] By driving the cigarette-receiving lever to tilt downwards and rotate to the first conveyor belt, the lever can directly receive cigarettes from the first conveyor belt. Then, the driving component drives the lever to move the cigarette downwards and rotate to the second conveyor belt, allowing it to lay the cigarette flat onto the second conveyor belt, thus transferring the cigarette from the upper first conveyor belt to the lower second conveyor belt. This automated transfer and reception of cigarettes using a coordinated driving component and the cigarette-receiving lever, compared to the manual cigarette-receiving method in the prior art, reduces the risk of cigarettes becoming wrinkled or broken, better ensuring cigarette quality and avoiding contamination and waste. Furthermore, the automatic downward tilting and rotation of the lever by the driving component eliminates the need for workers to climb between the first and second conveyor belts and manually receive cigarettes, thus avoiding the safety risks of climbing and the risk of injury from manual cigarette receiving, thereby ensuring the safety of cigarette reception.

[0047] To make the technical problem solved by this utility model, the technical solution adopted, and the technical effect achieved clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] This embodiment proposes a cigarette receiving device and a cigarette rolling device including the cigarette receiving device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the cigarette-making equipment also includes a cigarette-making machine, a packaging machine, a first conveyor belt 10, and a second conveyor belt 20. The first conveyor belt 10 is connected to the outlet of the cigarette-making machine, and the second conveyor belt 20 is connected to the inlet of the packaging machine. The first conveyor belt 10 is parallel to and above the second conveyor belt 20. This cigarette-receiving device can automatically transfer cigarettes from the first conveyor belt 10 to the second conveyor belt 20, achieving automatic transfer and receiving of cigarettes, thereby ensuring the quality and safety of cigarette receiving. The cigarette-making machine, packaging machine, first conveyor belt 10, and second conveyor belt 20 can all adopt common structures found in existing technologies.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cigarette receiving device includes a frame 1, a drive assembly 2, and a cigarette receiving swing rod 3. The first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20 are rotatably connected within the frame 1. The drive assembly 2 is located within the frame 1, spaced apart on one side of the first conveyor belt 10 and above the second conveyor belt 20, so that there is no interference between the drive assembly 2, the first conveyor belt 10, and the second conveyor belt 20. The drive assembly 2 is driven to move the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 downwards and rotate it to the first conveyor belt 10, so that the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 receives the cigarette on the first conveyor belt 10. The drive assembly 2 also drives the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 to move the cigarette downwards and rotate it to the second conveyor belt 20, so that the cigarette on the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 is laid flat on the second conveyor belt 20.

[0050] Compared to existing technologies, the cigarette receiving device in this embodiment changes the specific method of receiving cigarettes. By driving the cigarette receiving lever 3 to tilt downwards and rotate to the first conveyor belt 10, the cigarette receiving lever 3 can directly receive cigarettes on the first conveyor belt 10. Then, the driving component 2 drives the cigarette receiving lever 3 to move the cigarette downwards and rotate to the second conveyor belt 20, so that the cigarette receiving lever 3 lays the cigarette flat on the second conveyor belt 20, thus achieving the transfer of cigarettes from the upper first conveyor belt 10 to the lower second conveyor belt 20. The driving component 2 and the cigarette receiving lever 3 work together in a coordinated manner. The swing arm 3 automatically transfers and receives cigarettes. Compared to the manual cigarette receiving method in the prior art, the swing arm 3 contacts and supports the cigarettes, making it less likely for the cigarettes to become wrinkled or broken, thus better ensuring the quality of the cigarettes and avoiding contamination and waste. Furthermore, during the entire cigarette receiving process, the drive component 2 automatically drives the swing arm 3 to tilt downwards and rotate, eliminating the need for workers to climb between the first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20 to manually receive cigarettes. This avoids the safety risks of workers climbing to heights and the risk of pinching injuries when manually receiving cigarettes, thereby ensuring the safety of cigarette receiving.

[0051] Furthermore, by driving the cigarette receiving lever 3 to move linearly upwards or downwards, the entire drive assembly 2 needs to be arranged at an angle within the frame 1. On the one hand, this allows for the efficient use of the space within the frame 1 to install the drive assembly 2, thus avoiding excessive space occupation. On the other hand, it ensures that the linear movement path of the cigarette receiving lever 3 is compatible with the specific layout between the first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20. This helps ensure that the cigarette receiving lever 3 seamlessly transfers the cigarette from the first conveyor belt 10 to the second conveyor belt 20, preventing the cigarette from leaking out through the gap between the portion between the first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20 and the cigarette receiving lever 3. This contributes to ensuring the stability and reliability of the cigarette receiving process.

[0052] Furthermore, the cigarette receiving device also includes an inclined baffle (not shown in the figure). The inclined baffle is rotatably connected to the frame 1 and located on one side of the first conveyor belt 10. The inclined baffle is used to limit and block the cigarettes conveyed by the first conveyor belt 10, so that each cigarette is stacked in sequence on the first conveyor belt 10 near the inclined baffle.

[0053] Specifically, when each cigarette is conveyed on the first conveyor belt 10, due to the limiting and blocking effect of the inclined baffle, the cigarettes on the first conveyor belt 10 will be stacked in sequence. Since the inclined baffle has an inclined surface, when the cigarettes are stacked to a certain height, the cigarettes on the top layer will contact and push the inclined surface of the baffle, indicating that the stacked height of the cigarettes has reached the cigarette material level. This allows the entire inclined baffle to have a certain displacement and floating relative to the cigarettes, so that the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 can move and rotate to this position, thereby receiving the stacked cigarettes through the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 and conveying them to the second conveyor belt 20.

[0054] It is worth noting that when the height of each cigarette stack reaches the cigarette material level, causing the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 to move and rotate to this position, the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 can tilt upward to push open the inclined baffle, so that the inclined baffle swings further away from the cigarette, in order to avoid the inclined baffle interfering with the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 receiving the cigarette, and to ensure that the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 can smoothly and successfully receive the cigarette on the first conveyor belt 10.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cigarette receiving device also includes guide members 5 and detection members 6. The guide members 5 are spaced apart above the first conveyor belt 10 to avoid interference between them. A guide groove 51 is provided on the guide member 5, and one end of an inclined baffle passes obliquely through the guide groove 51 and is positioned on one side of the first conveyor belt 10. The detection member 6 is located on the guide member 5 and is used to detect whether the cigarettes on the first conveyor belt 10 are stacked to the cigarette material level. Specifically, the guide member 5 can be a plate-like structure.

[0056] By tilting one end of the inclined baffle through the guide groove 51, that is, when the inclined baffle moves relative to the cigarettes, it can move within the guide groove 51. This guide groove 51 provides guidance and limitation for the inclined baffle, ensuring that the inclined baffle moves along a preset direction within the guide groove 51. This allows the detection element 6 to detect the displacement of the inclined baffle accurately and promptly, indicating that the cigarettes have been stacked to the required height. This enables the drive assembly 2 to respond immediately, driving the cigarette receiving lever 3 to move to the first conveyor belt 10 to receive the stacked cigarettes. This ensures the accuracy of triggering the drive assembly 2 for subsequent actions, and helps the cigarette receiving lever 3 accurately and smoothly place the cigarettes onto the second conveyor belt 20. Specifically, the detection element 6 can be a proximity switch with a relatively fast and accurate response.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette receiving device also includes an intermediate transition plate 4. One end of the intermediate transition plate 4 is connected to the outlet of the first conveyor belt 10, and the other end of the intermediate transition plate 4 is bent and inclined and close to the second conveyor belt 20. The cigarette receiving swing rod 3 can abut against the intermediate transition plate 4. Each cigarette is stacked sequentially on the intermediate transition plate 4. An inclined baffle is placed on one side of the intermediate transition plate 4 so that the inclined baffle provides a limiting and blocking effect for the cigarettes stacked on the intermediate transition plate 4.

[0058] By setting an intermediate transition plate 4, when the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 moves to the part between the first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20, it can cooperate with the intermediate transition plate 4 to abut against each other, so that there will be no gap between the intermediate transition plate 4 and the cigarette receiving swing rod 3. This can better prevent cigarettes from leaking out of the gap between the part between the first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20 and the cigarette receiving swing rod 3, and further help to ensure the stability and reliability of cigarette receiving.

[0059] It is worth noting that, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The smoke-receiving lever 3 shown is for illustrative purposes only. In actual operation, the free end of the smoke-receiving lever 3 is flexibly connected to the intermediate transition plate 4, and the free end of the smoke-receiving lever 3 will not pass through the intermediate transition plate 4.

[0060] The following is a detailed description of driver component 2:

[0061] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the drive assembly 2 includes a base 21, a first drive member 22, a bracket 23, a transmission member 24, and a second drive member 25. The base 21 is installed within the frame 1. The fixed end of the first drive member 22 is located on the base 21. One end of the bracket 23 is installed on the base 21, and the other end is connected to the frame 1 via a support. The bracket 23 is spaced apart on one side of the first drive member 22 to avoid interference between them. The transmission member 24 is connected to the bracket 23, and the first drive member 22 and the transmission member 24 are driven together. The second drive member 25 is connected to the output end of the transmission member 24 and is connected to the cigarette-receiving swing arm 3. The first drive member 22 drives the transmission member 24 to move, causing the transmission member 24 to move the second drive member 25 and the cigarette-receiving swing arm 3 in a tilted downward or tilted upward motion. The second drive member 25 drives the cigarette-receiving swing arm 3 to rotate. Specifically, the first drive member 22 can be a stepper motor, and the second drive member 25 can be a right-angle geared motor.

[0062] Correspondingly, the bracket 23 is inclined within the frame 1 so that the transmission component 24 is inclinedly connected to the bracket 23. This ensures that the transmission component 24 drives the second drive component 25 and the smoke receiving swing arm 3 to move downwards or upwards as a whole, thus saving space within the frame 1. Here, the specific angle of inclination of the bracket 23 within the frame 1 is not limited, as long as it satisfies the reasonable layout space within the frame 1 and allows the downward or upward movement of the smoke receiving swing arm 3 to match the position between the first conveyor belt 10 and the second conveyor belt 20.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the transmission component 24 includes a lead screw 241 and a lead screw nut 242. The lead screw 241 is inclined and rotatably connected to the bracket 23. The output end of the first driving component 22 is connected to the lead screw 241 via two synchronous pulleys 82 and a synchronous belt 81. The synchronous belt 81 and the synchronous pulleys 82 are meshed to prevent slippage of the synchronous belt 81, thus enabling the first driving component 22 to drive the lead screw 241 to rotate. The lead screw nut 242 is threaded onto the lead screw 241 and is used to connect to the fixed end of the second driving component 25. When the first driving component 22 is working, it drives the lead screw 241 to rotate, causing the lead screw nut 242 to move linearly along the lead screw 241, thereby causing the second driving component 25 and the cigarette-receiving swing arm 3 to tilt downwards or upwards as a whole. The structure and dimensions of the two synchronous pulleys 82 can be the same or different, and are not specifically limited here.

[0064] By setting up a lead screw 241 and lead screw nut 242 that cooperate with each other, the second drive component 25 and the smoke receiving swing arm 3 can be accurately and quickly driven to tilt downward or tilt upward as a whole, so as to ensure that the movement of the smoke receiving swing arm 3 is relatively accurate and timely, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the movement of the smoke receiving swing arm 3.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 23 is provided with a limiting groove 231 extending along its length direction. The sliding limit of the lead screw nut 242 is located in the limiting groove 231, so that the limiting groove 231 can provide a limiting and guiding effect for the sliding of the lead screw nut 242, thereby ensuring the sliding guidance and stability of the lead screw nut 242 on the lead screw 241.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmission component 24 also includes a guide top plate 243 and a guide block 244. The guide top plate 243 is connected to the open end of the bracket 23 and is spaced apart on one side of the lead screw 241 to avoid mutual interference between the lead screw 241 and the guide top plate 243. The guide block 244 is provided with a guide through hole 2441, and the guide top plate 243 passes through the guide through hole 2441. One end of the guide block 244 is connected to the fixed end of the second driving component 25, and the other end of the guide block 244 is connected to the lead screw nut 242. The movement of the lead screw nut 242 can drive the guide block 244 to move, thereby causing the guide block 244 to move along the guide top plate 243. The guide top plate 243 can provide a limiting and guiding function for the movement of the guide block 244, thereby ensuring the guiding and stability of the movement of the guide block 244 along the guide top plate 243.

[0067] It is worth noting that, Figure 3 For ease of illustration, two guide blocks 244 are shown. In actual operation, to avoid mutual interference between the two guide blocks 244 during linear movement, only one guide block 244 needs to be connected to the fixed end of the second drive component 25.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette-receiving swing arm 3 includes a main rod 31 and a plastic rod 32. The main rod 31 is made of alloy material, and one end of the main rod 31 is connected to the output end of the drive assembly 2, that is, one end of the main rod 31 is connected to the output end of the second drive component 25. The plastic rod 32 is connected to the other end of the main rod 31 and is used to flexibly support the cigarette. In actual operation, the plastic rod 32 flexibly abuts against the intermediate transition plate 4, and the plastic rod 32 will not pass through the intermediate transition plate 4.

[0069] By making the main rod 31 of an alloy material, its durability and wear resistance are enhanced, thus increasing its service life. Furthermore, it ensures the main rod 31's resistance to the inclined baffle, guaranteeing its smooth opening. Simultaneously, the flexible contact between the plastic rod 32 and the intermediate transition plate 4 eliminates any gaps, preventing cigarettes from falling out. Moreover, the plastic rod 32 provides flexible cushioning for the cigarettes, preventing scratches during movement and effectively protecting them.

[0070] It is worth noting that, due to the relatively large size of the plastic rod 32 and the small degree of flexible contact between the plastic rod 32 and the intermediate transition plate 4, and because the movement speed of the plastic rod 32 is relatively slow, and the flexible contact between the end of the plastic rod 32 away from the cigarette and the intermediate transition plate 4 is mainly between the plastic rod 32 and the intermediate transition plate 4, the problem of the cigarette falling off the plastic rod 32 is not likely to occur during the flexible contact process between the plastic rod 32 and the intermediate transition plate 4.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a guide plate 7 is also provided within the frame 1, and a guide groove 71 is provided on the guide plate 7. The main rod 31 can pass through and move and rotate within the guide groove 71, so as to provide guidance and limiting function for the movement of the main rod 31, thereby ensuring the guidance and stability of the main rod 31 driving the plastic rod 32. Here, the specific shape and size of the guide groove 71 are not limited, as long as it can ensure the guiding movement of the main rod 31 within the guide groove 71.

[0072] The specific working process of the cigarette receiving device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0073] First, under the limiting and blocking action of the inclined baffle, the cigarettes on the intermediate transition plate 4 at the outlet of the first conveyor belt 10 are stacked in sequence. When the cigarettes are stacked to a certain height, the cigarettes on the top layer contact and push the inclined baffle. That is, the stacked height of the cigarettes reaches the cigarette material level, causing the inclined baffle to move relative to the cigarettes. At this time, the detection element 6 detects the displacement change of the inclined baffle and immediately sends out the signal that the cigarettes have been stacked to the cigarette material level.

[0074] Then, after receiving the signal from the detection unit 6, the first driving component 22 drives the lead screw 241 to rotate in the forward direction, so as to drive the lead screw nut 242 on the lead screw 241 to move linearly on the lead screw 241, so that the second driving component 25 and the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 move downward relative to the bracket 23 as a whole until they move to a suitable position; then, the second driving component 25 drives the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 to rotate and swing upward towards the inclined baffle. During this process, the plastic rod 32 of the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 flexibly abuts against the intermediate transition plate 4 until the main rod 31 of the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 pushes away the inclined baffle; after that, the second driving component 25 drives the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 to rotate and swing downward towards the intermediate transition plate 4 until the plastic rod 32 is flush with the intermediate transition plate 4, so that the plastic rod 32 supports the stacked cigarettes with the cigarette material level height on the intermediate transition plate 4.

[0075] Then, the second driving component 25 drives the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 to continue rotating and swinging downwards, so as to drive the cigarette on the plastic rod 32 to swing towards the second conveyor belt 20, so that the plastic rod 32 flexibly abuts against the intermediate transition plate 4; at this time, since the main rod 31 continues to rotate and swing, it can remove the abutting force of the main rod 31 against the inclined baffle, so that the inclined baffle automatically rotates and resets, so as to limit and block the newly conveyed cigarette through the inclined baffle.

[0076] Then, the first driving member 22 drives the lead screw 241 to continue rotating in the forward direction, so as to drive the lead screw nut 242 on the lead screw 241 to move linearly on the lead screw 241, so that the second driving member 25 and the smoke receiving swing rod 3 continue to move downward relative to the bracket 23 as a whole; at this time, the plastic rod 32 and the intermediate transition plate 4 always maintain flexible contact, that is, the plastic rod 32 flexibly contacts the intermediate transition plate 4 and moves downward along the intermediate transition plate 4 towards the second conveyor belt 20, until it moves to the bottom end of the intermediate transition plate 4.

[0077] Finally, the second drive member 25 drives the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 to continue rotating and swinging downwards, so as to drive the plastic rod 32 and the cigarette on it to swing towards the second conveyor belt 20 until the plastic rod 32 places the cigarette on it steadily on the second conveyor belt 20; then the first drive member 22 drives the lead screw 241 to rotate in the opposite direction, so as to drive the lead screw nut 242 on the lead screw 241 to move linearly on the lead screw 241, so that the second drive member 25 and the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 move upwards and reset relative to the bracket 23; thereby realizing the placement of the cigarette on the first conveyor belt 10 onto the second conveyor belt 20.

[0078] In this embodiment, the cigarette receiving device, through the coordinated operation of the drive component 2, the cigarette receiving swing arm 3, and the detection component 6, ensures that the drive component 2 executes in a timely and accurate manner according to the signal from the detection component 6, thereby enabling the cigarette to be automatically and accurately transferred smoothly from the first conveyor belt 10 to the second conveyor belt 20 via the cigarette receiving swing arm 3.

[0079] In this embodiment, the cigarette receiving device, through the cooperation between the detection element 6 and the inclined baffle, can ensure that after each cigarette is stacked to the cigarette material level, the cigarette receiving swing rod 3 accurately and timely connects the stacked cigarettes to the second conveyor belt 20, thereby ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of triggering the first driving element 22.

[0080] In this embodiment, the cigarette receiving device uses a drive assembly 2 and a cigarette receiving swing arm 3 to receive cigarettes. This triggers the first drive assembly 22 to drive the cigarette receiving swing arm 3 to move slowly and smoothly, thereby ensuring that the cigarettes on the first conveyor belt 10 are smoothly transferred to the second conveyor belt 20, and avoiding damage to the cigarettes due to excessively fast receiving speed.

[0081] The structural contents not described in detail in this embodiment belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art; in this embodiment, each technical solution is only described in terms of its difference from other solutions. As long as the technical solutions do not conflict with each other, they can be combined arbitrarily. The embodiments formed by the combination are also within the scope of this utility model.
