Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cigarette packaging technology, specifically relating to an inspection table for cigarette packaging lines. Background Technology

[0002] During the cigarette production and packaging process, cigarette factories need to take samples of cigarettes and cigarette packs from the cigarette making and packaging production line regularly and quantitatively, and retain samples periodically. In the current technology, there is no dedicated equipment for sample retention, and the samples are retained on a regular workbench, which easily leads to the mixing of samples from different time periods and causes the workbench to become chaotic. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inspection station for a cigarette packaging line, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing sample retention measures are prone to mixing of samples from different time periods, and to cause workbench chaos.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An inspection table for a cigarette packaging line includes an inspection table, a sample retention box, and an operating mechanism, wherein the sample retention box is installed on one side of the inspection table;

[0006] The sample retention box is provided with several separate sample retention compartments, and the front surface of each sample retention compartment is provided with an opening for taking out and placing samples.

[0007] The upper surface of the sample container is provided with an indicator area, and the lower surface of the sample container is provided with a retrieval notch corresponding to the position of each sample compartment;

[0008] The control element includes a first rod body, which is pivotally mounted on the lower end of the front surface of the sample retention box. A plurality of push rods are linearly connected to the outer wall of the first rod body. The push rods are perpendicular to the first rod body, and the free ends of the push rods extend into the pick-and-place notch. Rotating the first rod body can drive the push rods to push out the samples in all the sample retention compartments simultaneously.

[0009] With the above structural design, after the staff takes samples for testing at regular intervals and in quantitative quantities, the samples can be placed in the sample retention compartment in an orderly manner; this avoids mixing of samples taken at different times during self-inspection; it avoids causing trouble for process traceability; and when a test cycle is completed or a shift is changed, that is, when it is necessary to take out the sample, the first rod is rotated to drive the push rod to push out the sample, which can be quickly and synchronously taken out. The structure is simple and highly practical.

[0010] Furthermore, at least one of the sample retention cells is configured as a defective sample cell, and the first rod at the corresponding position of the defective sample cell is not connected to the push rod; the defective sample cell is located at the beginning or end of the sample retention box.

[0011] The above structural design allows for convenient retention of non-conforming samples, which is helpful for process recording and production traceability.

[0012] Furthermore, several protective plates are rotatably mounted on the first rod body, and the protective plates are used to close the opening of the sample retention cell.

[0013] The above structural design can seal the sample storage compartment after the sample has been placed, preventing confusion caused by subsequent misplacement; it can also be protected by a protective plate to prevent the mixing of tobacco and impurities generated on the testing table.

[0014] In addition, corresponding to each sample retention compartment, an indicator area is provided on the upper surface of the sample retention box to indicate the sample retention time. Each sample retention compartment contains a cigarette stick or pack sampled at the corresponding time, facilitating time-series-based sample detection and retention, thus solving the problem of sample mixing between different time periods in existing technologies.

[0015] Furthermore, the control element also includes a second rod and a connecting strip, wherein the first rod and the second rod are connected by the connecting strip;

[0016] A locking element is installed at the end of the first or second rod, the locking element being used to restrict the rotation of the end guard plate relative to the first rod, so as to fix all the guard plates;

[0017] The protective plate has an inner inclined surface on one side and an outer inclined surface on the other side. After the protective plate is flipped sequentially along the length of the sample box near the locking member, the outer inclined surface of the next protective plate abuts against the inner inclined surface of the previous protective plate.

[0018] With the above structural design, when the first rod is rotated and the sample is pushed out through the push rod, the guard plate also changes to a horizontal state. The sample moves to the horizontal guard plate, making it convenient for staff to pick up and empty the sample holders. Instead of emptying them one by one, it saves time and improves operational efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided at the lower left corner and a hook is provided at the upper right corner of the front surface of the sample container;

[0020] One end of the first rod is rotatably mounted on the mounting base via a pivot sleeve;

[0021] The end of the second rod is attached to the hook via a movable hook;

[0022] When the movable hook is pulled out and the guard plate is laid flat, the first rod can rotate around the axis of the pivot sleeve so that all the guard plates form an inclined material guide channel, guiding the sample pushed out by the push rod onto the guard plate to the designated position.

[0023] With the above structural design, after the sample is pushed onto the horizontal guard plate by the push rod, the first rod can be deflected to create an inclined guide channel to guide the sample to a designated position; for example, a material frame placed on the ground below the guide channel; it does not need to be removed one by one, resulting in higher processing efficiency.

[0024] Furthermore, a magnetic strip is provided at the end of the protective plate away from the first rod, and the magnetic strip magnetically attracts the upper edge of the opening of the sample retention grid.

[0025] The magnetic suction function allows for easy closure of openings and ensures the stability of the closure.

[0026] Furthermore, the guard plate is provided with a first indicator surface and a second indicator surface, the first indicator surface indicating the idle state of the sample retention cell and the second indicator surface indicating the occupied state of the sample retention cell.

[0027] The above structural design clearly indicates the occupancy and vacancy status of the sample retention cells, reminding staff to retain samples in real time and promptly, thus preventing any impact on production quality.

[0028] Furthermore, a trash can is placed inside the inspection table, and the tabletop of the inspection table is equipped with a flip-down lid; the flip-down lid is used to close the trash can.

[0029] The utility model adopting the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0030] In this application, samples are retained through multiple sample retention compartments set in the sample retention box during use; each sample retention compartment is provided with an indicator area indicating the sampling time, which facilitates the detection and retention of samples such as cigarettes and cigarette boxes according to the set time period, and solves the problem that samples from different time periods are easily mixed during the retention process in the prior art.

[0031] When retrieving a sample, the rotation of the first rod drives the push rod to rotate, simultaneously pushing out the sample from the retention cell. Compared to retrieving samples from the retention cells one by one, this method offers higher processing efficiency, simpler structure, and greater practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts are referred to by the same reference numerals in the drawings or description. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are forms known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the embodiments, such as "up," "down," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are only for reference to the directions in the drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 10 As shown, an inspection table for a cigarette packaging line according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an inspection table 1, a sample retention box 2, and an operating component 3. The sample retention box 2 is installed on one side of the inspection table 1. The sample retention box 2 has ten divided sample retention compartments 21, and the front surface of the sample retention compartments 21 is provided with an opening for taking out and placing samples. The upper surface of the sample retention box 2 is provided with an indicator area, which is divided into a first indicator area 22 and a second indicator area 23 (see reference). Figure 2 The first indicator area 22 has ten sections, each corresponding to one of the ten separate sample retention cells 21, used to indicate the time period for sample retention; the second indicator area 23 is used to indicate the function of the sample retention box 2; the lower surface of the sample retention box 2 is provided with a pick-and-place notch 25 corresponding to the position of each sample retention cell 21, the pick-and-place notch 25 is opened in the middle of the sample retention cell 21 and connected to the opening; the operating component 3 includes a first rod 32, which is pivotally mounted on the lower end of the front surface of the sample retention box 2, wherein the pivotal mounting can be achieved by a shaft or sleeve; the outer wall of the first rod 32 is linearly connected with several push rods 31, the push rods 31 are perpendicular to the first rod 32, and the free end of the push rods 31 extends into the pick-and-place notch 25; wherein, rotating the first rod 32 can drive the push rods 31 to push out the samples in all the sample retention cells 21 simultaneously.

[0050] In this embodiment, the number of push rods 31 can be the same as the number of sample retention cells 21; two of the ten sample retention cells 21 are designated as defect sample cells 24, located at the end of the sample retention box 2. This allows for convenient retention of non-conforming samples, facilitating process recording and production documentation. Furthermore, the number of defect sample cells 24 can also be set to one as needed. In practice, the defect sample cell 24 can be located in the middle sample retention cell 21, with the outer wall of the corresponding first rod 32 not connected to the push rod 31.

[0051] In this embodiment, the time interval marked in the first indication area 22 is one hour.

[0052] In this embodiment, the inspection station on the cigarette packaging line inspects small boxes of cigarette packs as samples. After the staff takes out cigarette packs for inspection at regular intervals and in quantitative quantities, they can place the cigarette packs in the sample retention grid 21 in an orderly manner according to the self-inspection time. This avoids mixing of cigarette packs taken at different times within a self-inspection cycle, which would make it difficult to record data and production processes. It also avoids causing problems for process traceability. Furthermore, when a self-inspection cycle is completed or a shift changes, i.e. when it is necessary to remove the cigarette packs, the first rod 32 is rotated to drive the push rod 31 to push the cigarette packs out, which can be quickly and synchronously removed. The structure is simple and highly practical.

[0053] In fact, if the sample holder 21 is deep, the length of the push rod 31 extending into the take-up and put-down notch 25 may not be sufficient. Therefore, an avoidance notch 26 can be machined in the take-up and put-down notch 25, and the avoidance notch 26 can also be used for the extension of the push rod 31. This allows the push-up of the cigarette pack to be effectively achieved when the push rod 31 is rotated.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] like Figures 2-10 As shown, this embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that eight protective plates 38 are rotatably mounted on the first rod 32 in this embodiment. The protective plates 38 are used to close the opening of the sample retention cell 21; the defective sample cell 24 does not require protection. The inclusion of the defective sample cell 24 facilitates the retention of unqualified samples and aids in process recording and production documentation. The protective plates 38 can close the sample retention cell 21 after sample placement, preventing subsequent misplacement and confusion of retention times; they can also protect against the contamination of tobacco, impurities, etc., generated on the inspection table 1.

[0056] In fact, a magnetic strip is provided at the end of the protective plate 38 away from the first rod 32, and the magnetic strip magnetically attracts the upper edge of the opening of the sample retention cell 21. The second rod 35 can be made of galvanized iron pipe, which can be magnetically attracted by the magnetic strip. The magnetic attraction function of the magnetic strip allows for convenient locking of the protective plate 38 when the opening of the sample retention cell 21 is closed, and ensures the stability of the closed protective plate 38. Additionally, a fitting arc edge 384 is provided at the free end of the protective plate 38, and the inner arc surface of the fitting arc edge 384 fits against the outer peripheral surface of the second rod 35, achieving a tight connection of the protective plate 38. To avoid the push rod 31, a rotating sleeve 382 is provided at the end of the protective plate 38 that is rotatably connected to the first rod 32; the length of the rotating sleeve 382 is less than half the length of the protective plate 38, allowing it to avoid the push rod 31.

[0057] In this embodiment, the operating member 3 also includes a second rod 35 and a connecting strip 33. The first rod 32 and the second rod 35 are connected by the connecting strip 33. The connecting strip 33 can be connected to the ends of the first rod 32 and the second rod 35. One side of the guard plate 38 is provided with an inner inclined surface 383 and the other side is provided with an outer inclined surface 381. After the guard plate 38 is flipped sequentially along the length direction of the sample box (2), the outer inclined surface 381 of the next guard plate (38) abuts against the inner inclined surface 383 of the previous guard plate 38. The right end of the first rod 32 is a grip section 37, which can be used by the staff to rotate the first rod 32. Similarly, the right end of the second rod 35 can also be processed into a grip section 37. A locking element (not shown in the figure) is installed on the gripping section 37 of the first rod 32 or the second rod 35. The locking element is used to restrict the rotation of the end guard plate 38 relative to the first rod 32, and then, in conjunction with the overlap of the outer inclined surface 381 and the inner inclined surface 383, fixes all the guard plates 38. The locking element can be a threaded sleeve, which is threadedly installed on the left end of the gripping section, with the end of the threaded sleeve near the guard plate 38 abutting against the guard plate 38; tightening the threaded sleeve on the right end of the first rod allows the threaded sleeve to abut against the guard plate 38, thereby restricting the guard plate. Through the coordinated design of the guard plate 38, the second rod 35, and the connecting strip 33, when the first rod 32 is rotated and the cigarette pack is pushed out through the push rod 31, the guard plate 38 also turns to a horizontal state, and the cigarette pack moves onto the horizontal guard plate 38, making it convenient for staff to pick up and empty the sample holder 21; instead of emptying them one by one, it saves time and increases operational efficiency. In fact, a ferrule can also be used as the locking element; the ferrule is connected to the key pin of the first rod; the left end of the ferrule is engaged with the end guard plate 38.

[0058] In this embodiment, the sample container 2 has a mounting base 36 at the lower left corner and a hook 27 at the upper right corner on its front surface. One end of the first rod 32 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 36 via a pivoting sleeve 34. The end of the second rod 35 is engaged with the hook 27 via a movable hook 39. When the movable hook 39 is pulled out and the protective plate 38 is laid flat, the first rod 32 can rotate around the axis of the pivoting sleeve 34, causing all the protective plates 38 to form an inclined guide channel, guiding the sample pushed out by the push rod 31 onto the protective plate 38 to a designated position. Through the above structural design, after the cigarette pack is pushed out onto the horizontal protective plate 38 by the push rod 31, the first rod 32 can be deflected to construct an inclined guide channel, guiding the cigarette pack to the bottom of the guide channel. Correspondingly, the cigarette pack falls into a material frame placed on the ground below the guide channel; the processing efficiency is higher.

[0059] In this embodiment, the protective plate 38 is provided with a first indicating surface a and a second indicating surface b. The first indicating surface a indicates the idle state of the sample retention cell 21, and the second indicating surface b indicates the occupied state of the sample retention cell 21. The first indicating surface a and the second indicating surface b can be painted with different indicating colors (e.g., green, yellow). In this way, during the sampling process, the occupied and idle states of the sample retention cell 21 are clearly indicated, reminding staff to perform real-time and timely sampling, and avoiding any impact on production quality.

[0060] In this embodiment, a trash can is placed inside the inspection table 1, and a flip-top cover 11 is installed on the tabletop of the inspection table 1; the flip-top cover 11 is used to close the trash can. A door panel 12 is installed on the side of the inspection table 1 that can be opened and closed; the door panel 12 can be opened and closed to facilitate the placement and retrieval of the trash can.

[0061] The working principle of an inspection table for a cigarette packaging line in this embodiment is as follows:

[0062] Before taking samples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the guard plate 38 is in a hanging state, and all the sample cells 21 are open; at this time, one end of the first rod 32 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 36 through the pivot sleeve 34, and the other end can be suspended in the air; the right end of the second rod 35 is snapped onto the hook 27 through the movable hook 39; the pivot sleeve 34 and the movable hook 39 are diagonally opposite, which can fix the operating part 3 to the front surface of the sample box 2;

[0063] When manually inspecting cigarette packs Y on the cigarette pack packaging line, samples are taken periodically according to time periods, and the sampled cigarette packs Y are subjected to appearance inspection. If the inspection is qualified, the cigarette pack Y is retained in the retention cell 21 corresponding to the time period. If the inspection is unqualified, feedback is given to the technicians for equipment repair. The unqualified cigarette packs Y are placed in the defective sample cell 24.

[0064] After the cigarette pack Y is placed into the sample retention compartment 21, the flip-up protective plate 38 closes the opening of the sample retention compartment 21, and the flip-up protective plate 38 is fitted with the arc edge 384 and fastened to the outer wall of the second rod 35. In this way, the cigarette pack Y is not easily misplaced later. It can also seal and protect the cigarette pack Y for dust protection. At the same time, the first indicator surface a and the second indicator surface b set on the protective plate 38 can indicate the picking, placing and retaining status. The indications of the first indicator surface a and the second indicator surface b can be distinguished by different colors to provide a clear reminder.

[0065] As the sampling proceeds, cigarette packs Y are sampled in each sampling compartment 21 in chronological order. When the guard plate 38 is flipped up, the outer inclined surface 381 of the next guard plate 38 abuts against the inner inclined surface of the previous guard plate 383, thus limiting the previous guard plate 38. After the last guard plate 38 is flipped up, the threaded sleeve is tightened, and the last guard plate 38 is fixed by the threaded sleeve, thus completing the limiting of all guard plates 38. At the same time, the magnetic strip on the guard plate 38 magnetically attracts the upper edge of the opening of the sampling compartment 21. The guard plate 38 can also be conveniently limited or locked when the opening of the sampling compartment 21 is closed.

[0066] After a shift, the cigarette packs Y need to be recycled; hold the grip section 37 of the first rod 32 and rotate the first rod 32 to drive the push rod 31 to push all the cigarette packs Y in the sample cells 21 to the horizontal guard plate 38; then rotate the pivot sleeve 34 to build an inclined guide channel to guide the cigarette packs Y on the guard plate 38 into the material frame.

[0067] In this design, no ejector rod 31 is installed in the defective sample compartment 24, so the unqualified cigarette packs Y will not be ejected together; instead, they will be processed separately. The overall structure is simple, low in cost, and highly practical.

[0068] The above provides a detailed description of an inspection table for a cigarette packaging line provided by this utility model. The specific embodiments are described only to help understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
