Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tobacco manufacturing equipment, specifically relating to a cigarette pack filling device and high-speed packaging equipment suitable for slim cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to this utility model and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Because the YB518 small-pack transparent paper packaging machine for slim cigarettes has strict requirements on the appearance quality of small cigarette packs, the rejection rate is relatively high, resulting in an increased number of incorrectly rejected packs. Furthermore, all qualified cigarette packs that pass quality inspection normally need to be re-entered into the machine for the next process. Currently, the packaging equipment requires stopping the machine and manually placing the qualified packs onto the conveyor belt of the YB618 carton transparent paper packaging machine, then closing the protective cover and restarting the machine. This repeated cycle wastes a significant amount of working time, increases labor costs, and reduces the effective operating rate.

[0004] However, with the current trend of adding box condition detection devices to all packaging equipment, the main purpose of these devices is to detect the barcode on each pack of cigarettes, ensuring that the barcode on the box matches the barcode on the cigarette pack. In existing technology, the box condition detection device needs to be installed at the front end of the manual placement section of the packaging equipment. This renders manual placement unusable, making it impossible to detect cigarette pack barcodes without stopping the machine, severely impacting the effective operating rate. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a cigarette pack filling device and packaging equipment, which can automatically fill cigarette packs without affecting the normal use of the box condition detection device on the packaging equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, this utility model proposes a cigarette pack filling device, including a cigarette pushing mechanism and a filling channel, wherein the cigarette pushing mechanism is installed on the filling channel and is used to push cigarette packs stacked on the filling channel; The cigarette pushing mechanism includes a longitudinal cylinder and a transverse cylinder. Along the cigarette pack pushing direction, the transverse cylinder is located below the longitudinal cylinder. The end of the filling channel is provided with a cigarette pack outlet, and a guide plate is installed at the cigarette pack outlet to smoothly press the cigarette pack down.

[0007] As a further technical solution, both the smoke pushing mechanism and the filling channel are made of aluminum.

[0008] As a further technical solution, brushes are installed on both sides of the cigarette pack outlet to ensure that the stacked cigarette packs remain level.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the longitudinal cylinder and the transverse cylinder are respectively connected to a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve, and both the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve are double-rod cylinders.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the input end of the longitudinal cylinder is connected to a first air pipe, and the input end of the transverse cylinder is connected to a second air pipe. The first air pipe and the second air pipe are respectively connected to a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve.

[0011] As a further technical solution, a longitudinal push plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the longitudinal cylinder, and a transverse push plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the transverse cylinder.

[0012] Secondly, this utility model proposes a packaging equipment, characterized in that it includes a cigarette pack filling device and a conveyor belt as provided in the first aspect, wherein the cigarette pack filling device is installed above the conveyor belt.

[0013] As a further technical solution, a photoelectric detector is provided at the inlet of the conveyor belt, and the photoelectric detector is electrically connected to the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve in the cigarette pack filling device.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the cigarette pack outlet in the cigarette pack filling device is connected to the inlet of the conveyor belt, so that the cigarette pack can fall smoothly onto the conveyor belt.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the guide plate at the cigarette pack outlet is tangentially arranged with the conveyor belt inlet to smoothly press the cigarette pack down.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model can achieve the function of automatically filling cigarette packs without stopping the machine by setting up a cigarette pushing mechanism and a filling channel. The cigarette pushing mechanism adopts two double rod cylinders in the longitudinal and transverse directions and is equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0017] 2. This utility model uses a cigarette pack filling device installed above the conveyor belt of a packaging equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0023] Example 1 This embodiment provides a cigarette pack filling device, the specific structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a cigarette-pushing mechanism and a filling channel. The cigarette-pushing mechanism is installed on the filling channel and is used to push cigarette packs stacked on the filling channel. In this embodiment, the stacked cigarette packs are two cigarette packs stacked one on top of the other. In this embodiment, both the cigarette-pushing mechanism and the filling channel are made of aluminum, which is easy to install, corrosion-resistant, and easy to process.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the cigarette pushing mechanism includes a longitudinal cylinder and a transverse cylinder. Along the cigarette pack pushing direction, the transverse cylinder is positioned below the longitudinal cylinder, and the longitudinal cylinder is connected to the first solenoid valve. Specifically: Figure 5As shown, the input end of the longitudinal cylinder is connected to a first air pipe, which is connected to a first solenoid valve, enabling airflow between the solenoid valve and the longitudinal cylinder. The transverse cylinder is connected to a second solenoid valve. Specifically, the input end of the transverse cylinder is connected to a second air pipe, which is connected to a second solenoid valve, enabling airflow between the solenoid valve and the transverse cylinder. Using solenoid valves to connect the cylinders for airflow results in a simple and straightforward structure, easy maintenance, and good stability. Both the first and second solenoid valves are double-rod cylinders, and both the first and second air pipes are 8mm thick. The advantage of using double-rod cylinders is stable smoke pushing, good guiding performance, and long cylinder life. It should be noted that the principle of solenoid valve controlling the cylinder is existing technology, and this embodiment does not make any improvements to it.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, a cigarette pack outlet is located at the end of the filling channel. The cigarette pack filling device needs to work in conjunction with the packaging equipment. In actual operation, the cigarette pack outlet needs to be aligned with the conveyor belt inlet of the packaging equipment. Since the conveyor belt rotates continuously as the cigarette packs pass through the cigarette pack outlet, to ensure that the stacked cigarette packs can smoothly enter the conveyor belt and that the box condition detection device can correctly detect the barcodes of the two packs, the two packs must be aligned vertically. Therefore, in this embodiment, a guide plate is installed at the cigarette pack outlet to smoothly press the cigarette packs down, and brushes are designed and installed on both sides of the cigarette pack outlet to ensure that the stacked cigarette packs remain aligned and do not affect the detection function of the box condition detection device. After repeated experiments, after being put into use, it significantly reduced the labor force of operators and improved the effective operating rate.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a horizontal push plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the horizontal cylinder. The horizontal push plate can laterally push the stacked cigarette packs and push them below the vertical cylinder; as shown... Figure 6 As shown, a longitudinal push plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the longitudinal cylinder. The longitudinal push plate can push the cigarette pack pushed by the transverse push plate longitudinally (downward) and send it out from the cigarette pack outlet to the conveyor belt.

[0027] Example 2 This embodiment provides a packaging device, specifically including the cigarette pack filling device and conveyor belt provided in Embodiment 1. The cigarette pack filling device is fixedly installed above the conveyor belt by a fixed bracket, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0028] In this embodiment, a photoelectric detector is installed at the inlet of the conveyor belt in the packaging equipment. The photoelectric detector is electrically connected to the first and second solenoid valves in the cigarette pack filling device. The cigarette pack outlet in the cigarette pack filling device is connected to the inlet of the conveyor belt to ensure that the cigarette pack falls smoothly onto the conveyor belt. Specifically, the guide plate at the cigarette pack outlet is tangentially set to the inlet of the conveyor belt to press the cigarette pack down smoothly.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Approximately 40 packs of cigarettes can be placed in the filling channel at a time. When the photoelectric detector detects that the packaging equipment is in standby mode and there are no cigarette packs on the conveyor belt, the second solenoid valve connected to the horizontal cylinder receives a signal and controls the horizontal cylinder to actuate. The horizontal pusher plate pushes the stacked cigarette packs laterally to below the vertical pusher plate. At this time, the first solenoid valve connected to the vertical cylinder receives a signal and controls the vertical cylinder to push the pushed stacked cigarette packs vertically into the conveyor belt, so that the cigarette packs are carried away by the conveyor belt and sent to the next station. During the vertical pushing process, the conveyor belt of the packaging equipment rotates continuously. The guide plate is tangential to the conveyor belt to ensure that the cigarette packs fall smoothly. The brush ensures that the stacked cigarette packs remain aligned during the vertical pushing process and does not affect the detection function of the cigarette pack detection device. When there are enough cigarette packs on the upstream machine, the packaging equipment automatically starts, and the cigarette pack filling device signal is disconnected to wait for the next replenishment. After repeated experiments, it has been found that the operation has greatly reduced the labor force of the operators and improved the effective working efficiency.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
