All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] refer to Figure 1-2As shown, this utility model provides a flipping conveyor device, including a frame 1, roller grooves 3, and roller bodies 5. The roller grooves 3 are located on both sides of the top of the frame 1. Multiple roller bodies 5 are arranged on each of the two roller grooves 3. Preferably, the length of each roller body 5 is 1 / 4 of the distance between the two roller grooves 3. One end of each roller body 5 is equipped with a double-layer sprocket, and this end is rotatably connected to the roller groove 3. Adjacent sprockets are connected by chains. The device also includes a base plate 11 and a baffle 12, which are connected to form an L-shaped structure. (See reference...) Figure 3 As shown, a central support 9 is provided on the frame 1, and a connecting rod 10 is rotatably mounted on the central support 9. When the connecting rod 10 is in a horizontal state, it is lower than the conveying surface of the roller 5. A push-pull plate 20 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the base plate 11. The other end of the connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the front end of the push-pull plate 20. A cylinder 8 is also fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The output end of the cylinder 8 is connected to the bottom of the moving plate 19. The rear end of the push-pull plate 20 is rotatably connected to the moving plate 19. The purpose of this arrangement is to control the flipping of the base plate 11 by extending and retracting the cylinder.
[0025] Specifically, when the cylinder 8 extends, the base plate 11 is located on a horizontal plane and the baffle 12 is located on a vertical plane; when the cylinder 8 retracts, the base plate 11 is located on a vertical plane and the baffle 12 is located on a horizontal plane. Preferably, the extended state of the cylinder 8 is set as the initial state of the cylinder 8, and the retracted state of the cylinder 8 is set as the working state.
[0026] In actual use, the cigarette box is conveyed by the roller 5. When it is conveyed to the bottom plate 11, it cannot continue to move forward due to the obstruction of the front baffle 12. At this time, the control cylinder 8 retracts, and the bottom plate 11 changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state, thereby flipping the cigarette box.
[0027] To achieve synchronous driving of the rollers 5, synchronous rollers 4 are rotatably installed at both the front and rear ends of the roller grooves 3. A motor 14 and a reducer 15 are installed on the frame 1. The output end of the motor 14 is connected to the reducer 15. The output end of the reducer 15 is poweredly connected to the end of one of the synchronous rollers 4. Specifically, the end of the synchronous roller 4 is provided with a sprocket and a pulley. The output end of the reducer 15 is also provided with a pulley. The two pulleys are connected by a belt. The sprocket at the end of the synchronous roller 4 is connected to the sprocket of its adjacent roller 5 by a chain. In addition, the sprockets of two adjacent rollers 5 are connected by a chain, thereby achieving synchronous driving of the rollers 5.
[0028] A protective plate connector 7 is provided above the roller groove 3, and a protective plate 6 is connected to the protective plate connector 7. The protective plate 6 is a long strip structure and is arranged along the length of the roller groove 3 to protect the smoke box. A detection optical fiber 13 is provided on the protective plate 6. The detection optical fiber 13 is close to the front side of the baffle 12, so that when the smoke box reaches the baffle 12, a signal is emitted, and the retraction process of the cylinder 8 is controlled by the signal.
[0029] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective plate connector 7 includes a vertical rod 71, a horizontal rod 72, a double-hole clamping member 73, and a fastening screw 74. The vertical rod 71 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the roller groove 3, and the horizontal rod 72 is fixedly provided on the outside of the protective plate 6. The double-hole clamping member 73 is provided with two intersecting through holes, and the two through holes pass through the vertical rod 71 and the horizontal rod 72 respectively and are fastened by the fastening screw 74. This enables the adjustment of the height and inner and outer positions of the protective plate 6, thereby making it adaptable to the protection of different packaging boxes.
[0030] The bottom of the frame 1 is provided with foot pads 2. In order to ensure the stability of the moving plate 19 during movement, two guide rods 17 are provided on the upper part of the frame 1. Two guide sleeves 18 are provided on the bottom surface of the moving plate 19. The guide sleeves 18 are inserted through the guide rods 17. The frame 1 is also provided with a storage cabinet 16 to meet people's storage convenience.
[0031] Because the device has a baffle 12 that blocks the smoke box, the smoke box must be flipped over during the conveying process to continue conveying. To overcome this limitation, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the base plate 11 and the baffle 12 are rotatably connected. A rib 121 is provided on the back of the baffle 12, and a screw hole 122 is provided at the end of the rib 121. A limiting connecting seat 111 is provided at the end of the base plate 11 to allow the baffle 12 to rotate 90°. The limiting connecting seat 111 and the screw hole 122 are connected by screws 112. This enables switching between tilting conveying and regular conveying. When tilting conveying is required, the baffle 12 is rotated 90° so that it is in a vertical plane. The retraction of the cylinder 8 then tilts the cigarette box. When regular conveying is required and tilting is not needed, the baffle 12 is rotated to a position where it is flush with the base plate 11. This prevents the baffle 12 from obstructing the cigarette box, allowing it to pass through normally. For regular conveying, the following condition must also be met: when the baffle 12 is rotated to be parallel and flush with the base plate 11, the end face of the rib 121 is lower than the conveying surface of the roller 5, so that the rib 121 does not obstruct the conveyed cigarette box.
[0032] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that those skilled in the art can devise many other modifications and implementations that fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various modifications and improvements can be made to the components or layout of the subject matter arrangement within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims. Besides modifications and improvements to the components or layout, other uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
