Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tobacco machinery technology, specifically relating to a cigarette guide device. Background Technology

[0002] In cigarette production at cigarette factories, the new medium-speed ZB415 packaging machine is required. During operation, the ZB415 packaging machine needs to transport cigarettes. Currently, the method used to transport cigarettes into the ZB415 packaging machine is downward conveying through the cigarette bins. However, during this process, cigarettes may become misaligned or even scattered, affecting the mold box conveyor belt below the cigarette bins. This can even cause damage to the mold box conveyor belt due to the scattered cigarettes. Furthermore, if scattered cigarettes fall into the mold boxes, they can affect the quality of the intact cigarettes inside, impacting the appearance of the cigarette pack.

[0003] The existing scattered cigarette diversion device can sort and divert scattered cigarettes, but due to unreasonable design, the diversion effect is not good.

[0004] This application is submitted in order to address the above issues. Utility Model Content

[0039] like Figure 1-3 This utility model mainly consists of a cigarette recycling box 1, a guide channel 2, arranged cigarettes 3, a cigarette storage 4, a mold box conveyor belt 5, and a cigarette group 6.

[0040] The tobacco storage chamber 4 of this application is designed with a guide channel 2 on its side. The guide channel 2 is welded to the back plate of the tobacco storage chamber 4 to receive the tobacco sticks scattered in the upper tobacco storage chamber 4. Below the guide channel 2 is a mold box conveyor belt 5.

[0041] The front of the tobacco storage 4 has an open structure, while the back and sides have baffles. The guide channel 2 is welded below the open structure at the front of the tobacco storage 4, thus catching any cigarettes that fall into the upper tobacco storage 4.

[0042] Below the tobacco storage 4, there is an outlet tapering section. A tobacco outlet channel 7 is connected to the side of the outlet tapering section. The tobacco outlet channel 7 below the tobacco storage 4 is connected to the molded box conveyor belt 5. The molded box conveyor belt 5 is located below the downstream outlet of the guide trough 2 to prevent cigarettes from falling onto the molded box conveyor belt 5.

[0043] The upper dimension of the guide channel 2 matches the width of the existing tobacco storage 4, which is 500mm. The width of the tapered outlet section below the guide channel 2 is 140mm. Fences / edges with a height of 50mm are designed at the upstream end and both sides of the guide channel 2 to prevent cigarettes from falling outside the guide channel 2.

[0044] Specifically, one side wall of the guide channel 2 is a vertical wall. The other side wall of the guide channel 2, from upstream to downstream, includes: a vertical wall section, a gradually narrowing inclined wall section, and an arc-shaped outlet section. The cigarette channel on the guide channel 2 has a gradually narrowing structure. This side wall shape design can slowly collect scattered cigarettes, preventing them from clogging the guide channel 2.

[0045] In other words, the bottom surface of the guide channel 2, from upstream to downstream, is: a large rectangle, a right-angled trapezoid, and a small rectangle. The arc-shaped wall outlet section connects the tapering inclined wall section and the downstream outlet via an arc-shaped wall, preventing blockage and damage during cigarette movement.

[0046] The downstream outlet of the guide channel 2 is a narrow section to collect scattered cigarettes.

[0047] The bottom surface of the guide channel 2 is designed with an inclination angle of 30 degrees relative to the horizontal plane.

[0048] A cigarette recycling box 1 is placed at the opening below the flow channel 2 so that the cigarettes in the flow channel 2 can fall into the cigarette recycling box 1.

[0049] The aforementioned tobacco storage 4, mold box conveyor belt 5, arranged cigarettes 3, outlet tapering section, and tobacco storage outlet channel 7 can utilize existing components of the packaging machine.

[0050] The working principle of this application is as follows:

[0051] When the packaging machine is in normal production, the cigarettes 3 arranged in the cigarette storage 4 are orderly conveyed downwards and enter the mold box conveyor belt 5. When cigarettes fall downwards from the cigarette storage 4, they fall into the designed guide trough 2. Due to the inclined angle of the guide trough 2, the cigarettes falling into the guide trough 2 fall into the cigarette recycling box 1 from below the opening of the guide trough 2, thus avoiding falling onto the mold box conveyor belt 5.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cigarette guide device of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the cigarette guide device of this application from another angle. Figure 1 and 2 In the middle, cigarette recycling box 1 was not in the working position.

[0053] Figure 3 This is a top view of the cigarette guide device of this application.

[0054] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the original cigarette guide device, with the cigarette recycling box shown as an illustration.

[0055] Existing cigarette diversion device, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom surface of the original guide channel 02, from upstream to downstream, is successively a large rectangle and an isosceles trapezoid. Furthermore, the side walls of the original guide channel 02, from upstream to downstream, consist of a vertical wall section and a gradually narrowing sloping wall section. The original guide channel 02 lacks curved wall sections. Therefore, the cigarette channel in the original guide channel 02 narrows rapidly, making it prone to blockage and damage during cigarette movement.

[0056] In addition, the side wall of the original guide channel 02 is only 20mm high, and the lower opening of the guide channel 02 is directly above the original mold box conveyor belt 05, making it easy for cigarettes to fall into the original mold box conveyor belt 05.
