Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of tobacco and conveying technology, specifically to a conveying mechanism for packaging tobacco boxes. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing tobacco packaging production process, the centralized, stacked, and transported assembly-lined long tobacco boxes to the packing station is a crucial step. Currently, there are two main operational methods: First, relying entirely on manual handling, where operators manually move the packaged tobacco boxes to the packing platform and stack them. This is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to inconsistencies in neatness, affecting subsequent packing quality. Second, using ordinary continuous conveyor belts. While this reduces the handling burden, the conveyor belt only performs horizontal transport. After the materials reach their destination, operators still need to manually remove them from the conveyor belt and stack them neatly, failing to automate the stacking and transport process. This also results in low production efficiency and high labor costs.

Due to the vast and complex nature of the technical content in this field, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model: This utility model provides a conveying mechanism for packaging tobacco boxes, in order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0005] 2. Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a conveying mechanism for packaging tobacco boxes, comprising a support frame, a chain conveyor, a drive motor, multiple limiting baffles, and a pushing mechanism. The chain conveyor is horizontally mounted on the support frame and driven by the drive motor. The multiple limiting baffles are spaced apart on the chain along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor, forming a receiving space between adjacent limiting baffles for accommodating stacked tobacco boxes. The pushing mechanism is located on one side of the chain conveyor, with its pushing direction perpendicular to the conveying direction and aligned with the pushing station on the chain conveyor. The chain conveyor operates intermittently, conveying the tobacco boxes in its receiving space to the pushing station and pausing. Subsequently, the pushing mechanism actuates, horizontally pushing the entire stack of tobacco boxes paused at that station to the packaging platform on the side of the chain conveyor. When the conveying mechanism is working, the drive motor drives the chain conveyor to operate intermittently, and the worker places the neatly stacked tobacco boxes... The tobacco boxes are placed into the receiving space formed by adjacent limiting baffles; the conveyor transports the tobacco boxes to the preset pushing station and then pauses; then the pushing mechanism immediately moves, smoothly pushing the entire stack of tobacco boxes into the side packaging platform; after pushing is completed, the pushing mechanism automatically resets, and the chain conveyor resumes operation, transporting the next set of tobacco boxes to the pushing station, thus achieving continuous operation in this cycle. The drive motor can be a servo motor, which has a gear on its rotating shaft and is connected to the chain conveyor through a chain, driving the chain conveyor as needed. This utility model forms an independent receiving space through the cooperation of the chain conveyor and the limiting baffles, and combined with the intermittent operation and the collaborative operation of the pushing mechanism, realizes the automatic transportation and neat stacking of tobacco boxes, effectively avoiding the inconsistencies of manual handling and stacking, and significantly improving packaging efficiency; at the same time, the mechanism operates smoothly and reliably, reducing the bumps and damage in traditional manual operation, and has good practical value.

[0006] Furthermore, the chain conveyor is provided with fixed beams at intervals in the middle, and a sliding table is detachably connected to the top of the fixed beams. The top surface of the sliding table is higher than the upper surface of the chain of the chain conveyor. When the tobacco box is placed on the top of the sliding table, it can be smoothly conveyed backward along the sliding table under the guidance of the limiting baffle.

[0007] Furthermore, the chain conveyor is symmetrically provided with concave fixing plates on both sides, and a guide baffle is detachably connected to the inner side of the concave fixing plate, the guide baffle extending along the conveying direction.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting baffle includes symmetrically arranged mounting plates, which are detachably connected to the top of the chain of the chain conveyor by bolts. A concave blocking plate is connected to the top of the mounting plate, and the concave blocking plate has a hollow structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the concave baffle plate is made of stainless steel.

[0010] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a support platform, a guide platform, a telescopic cylinder, and a pushing plate. The support platform is fixed on a side bracket, and the guide platform is installed on its top rear side. The telescopic cylinder is installed on the top of the guide platform, and its piston rod is connected to the pushing plate. First guide columns are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide platform, and second guide columns are slidably fitted inside the first guide columns. The other end of the second guide column is fixedly connected to the pushing plate.

[0011] 3. Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model is reasonably designed. By combining a chain conveyor with a limiting baffle to form an independent holding space, it realizes the automatic conveying and neat stacking of tobacco boxes, effectively avoids the inconsistency of manual handling and stacking, and significantly improves packaging efficiency.

[0012] The combination of sliding table and guide baffle design ensures that the tobacco box maintains a stable posture during the conveying process, preventing deviation or slippage, improving the conveying positioning accuracy, and providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent packaging operations.

[0013] The overall mechanism adopts a modular and detachable design, which is convenient for maintenance and adjustment. At the same time, wear-resistant materials are selected to extend the service life. The double guide column structure ensures the smooth and accurate pushing process, reduces the operating load of the equipment, and has good practical value and economy.

[0022] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] See attached document Figure 1-4A conveying mechanism for packaging tobacco boxes includes a support frame 1, a chain conveyor 2, a drive motor 3, multiple limiting baffles 4, and a pushing mechanism 5. The chain conveyor 2 is horizontally mounted on the support frame 1 and is driven by the drive motor 3. The multiple limiting baffles 4 are spaced apart on the chain along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor 2, forming a receiving space between adjacent limiting baffles 4 for accommodating stacked tobacco boxes. The pushing mechanism 5 is located on one side of the chain conveyor 2, with its pushing direction perpendicular to the conveying direction and aligned with a pushing station on the chain conveyor 2. The chain conveyor 2 operates intermittently, conveying the tobacco boxes in its receiving space to the pushing station and pausing. Subsequently, the pushing mechanism 5 actuates, horizontally pushing the entire stack of tobacco boxes paused at the station to a packaging platform 6 on the side of the chain conveyor 2. In this embodiment, when the conveying mechanism is working, the drive motor 3 drives the chain conveyor 2 to operate intermittently, and the worker places the neatly stacked tobacco boxes into the packaging platform 6. Within the accommodating space formed by adjacent limiting baffles 4, the conveyor transports tobacco boxes to a preset pushing station and then pauses; subsequently, the pushing mechanism 5 immediately operates, smoothly pushing the entire stack of tobacco boxes into the side packaging platform 6; after pushing is completed, the pushing mechanism 5 automatically resets, and the chain conveyor 2 resumes operation, transporting the next set of tobacco boxes to the pushing station, thus achieving continuous operation in this cycle. The drive motor 3 can be a servo motor as needed, with gears on its rotating shaft, which are connected to the chain conveyor 2 via a chain for transmission, driving the chain conveyor 2 as needed; this utility model, through the cooperation of the chain conveyor 2 and the limiting baffles 4 to form an independent accommodating space, combined with intermittent operation and the coordinated operation of the pushing mechanism 5, realizes the automatic transport and neat stacking of tobacco boxes, effectively avoiding the inconsistencies of manual handling and stacking, and significantly improving packaging efficiency; at the same time, the mechanism operates smoothly and reliably, reducing the bumps and damage in traditional manual operation, and has good practical value.

[0024] The chain conveyor 2 is equipped with fixed beams at intervals in the middle. A sliding platform 21 is detachably connected to the top of each fixed beam. The top surface of the sliding platform 21 is higher than the upper surface of the chain of the chain conveyor 2. When a tobacco box is placed on top of the sliding platform 21, it can be smoothly conveyed backward along the sliding platform 21 under the guidance of the limiting baffles 4. In this embodiment, the chain conveyor 2 is reinforced in the middle by fixed beams, and the sliding platform 21 is detachably installed on the top of the fixed beams. The top surface of the sliding platform 21 is slightly higher than the upper surface of the chain of the chain conveyor 2, allowing the tobacco box to contact the sliding platform 21 without rubbing against the chain. When workers stack the packaged long, rectangular cigarette boxes on the sliding platform 21, the boxes can be smoothly conveyed backward along the sliding platform 21 under the guidance of the limiting baffles 4 on both sides. This structural design ensures that the tobacco boxes maintain a stable posture during conveying, avoiding swaying or displacement that may occur due to direct contact with the chain. The fixed beam structure enhances the rigidity of the overall mechanism. When the chain conveyor 2 stops intermittently, the sliding table 21 provides a stable support platform 51 for the cigarette box, ensuring that the pushing mechanism 5 can accurately push the cigarette box to the packaging platform 6, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of the entire packaging operation.

[0025] The chain conveyor 2 has concave fixing plates 22 symmetrically arranged on both sides. Guide baffles 23 are detachably connected to the inner side of each concave fixing plate 22, extending along the conveying direction. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, guide baffles 23 are installed on both sides of the chain conveyor 2 via the symmetrically arranged concave fixing plates 22. These guide baffles 23 extend parallel to the conveying direction and, together with the limiting baffles 4, form a stable conveying channel. When a worker places a tobacco box on the sliding table 21, the guide baffles 23 on both sides effectively limit the lateral displacement of the tobacco box, preventing tilting, deviation, or slippage during conveying. The concave fixing plates 22 make the installation of the guide baffles 23 more stable, and the detachable connection allows for adjustment of the guide spacing according to different tobacco box specifications, enhancing the applicability of the equipment. The combined use of the guide baffles 23 and the sliding table 21 forms a complete guiding and conveying system, ensuring the stability of the conveying process and improving operational efficiency.

[0026] This structural design significantly improves the positioning accuracy of tobacco boxes during the transportation process, ensuring that each batch of cigarette boxes can accurately reach the designated push station, providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent packaging operations.

[0027] The limiting baffle 4 includes symmetrically arranged mounting plates 41, which are detachably connected to the top of the chain of the chain conveyor 2 by bolts. A concave blocking plate 42 is connected to the top of the mounting plate 41. The concave blocking plate 42 has a hollow structure. In this embodiment, the limiting baffle 4 is fixed to the chain by the symmetrically arranged mounting plates 41. The mounting plates 41 are reliably connected to the chain plates at the top of the chain by bolts, and the chain plates have matching connection holes at corresponding positions. The top of the mounting plate 41 is connected to the hollow concave blocking plate 42. This structure ensures the strength requirements of the baffle and achieves an overall lightweight design. After the limiting baffle 4 is installed, it maintains a stable installation posture as the chain conveyor 2 operates. The concave blocking plate 42 always maintains a perpendicular relationship with the chain plates, providing reliable limiting protection for the tobacco box. The detachable connection method facilitates adjustment or replacement of the baffle according to actual conveying needs, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0028] The concave baffle plate 42 is made of stainless steel, which improves the service life of the device, reduces the overall weight and the operating load of the chain conveyor 2, while ensuring the necessary structural strength and wear resistance, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the conveying process.

[0029] The pushing mechanism 5 includes a support platform 51, a guide platform 52, a telescopic cylinder 53, and a pushing plate 54. The support platform 51 is fixed to a side bracket, and the guide platform 52 is mounted on its top rear side. The telescopic cylinder 53 is mounted on the top of the guide platform 52, and its piston rod is connected to the pushing plate 54. First guide posts 55 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide platform 52, and second guide posts 56 are slidably fitted within the first guide posts 55. The other end of the second guide post 56 is fixedly connected to the pushing plate 54. In this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 5 is fixedly mounted on the side bracket via the support platform 51. The guide platform 52 is located on the rear side of the support platform 51, and the telescopic cylinder 53 is mounted on its top, with the cylinder piston rod reliably connected to the pushing plate 54. The first guide posts 55 and the second guide posts 56 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide platform 52 form a sliding pair, providing precise guidance and stable support for the reciprocating motion of the pushing plate 54.

[0030] When the chain conveyor 2 transports the tobacco boxes to the designated workstation, the position detection device is triggered, and the conveyor stops running. Subsequently, the telescopic cylinder 53 actuates, pushing the pusher plate 54 to extend smoothly along the guide column, accurately pushing the neatly stacked tobacco boxes to the opposite packaging platform 6. After the pushing operation is completed, the telescopic cylinder 53 automatically resets, and the chain conveyor 2 restarts, entering the next work cycle.

[0031] The pushing mechanism 5 adopts a double guide column design, which effectively ensures the stability and accuracy of the pushing process and prevents the pushing plate 54 from tilting during movement. The telescopic cylinder 53 provides stable thrust, ensuring that the tobacco box can be pushed smoothly and neatly onto the packaging platform 6.

[0032] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
