Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tobacco machinery, specifically to a cigarette pack side-shifting conveyor device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern cigarette logistics and distribution centers, automated conveying and sorting of cigarette cartons is a core component. To meet the needs of subsequent palletizing, warehousing, sorting, and loading processes, it is usually necessary to standardize the posture of cigarette cartons on the conveyor line. However, during daily warehousing operations in cigarette factories, finished cigarette cartons have typically already been sorted on the sorting line. Due to the handling or gripping actions during sorting, the finished cigarette cartons may become skewed or tilted to either side. Therefore, it is necessary to uniformly position the cigarette cartons to the side to ensure their correct placement after entering the grabbing area.

[0003] For example, utility model patent CN201686312U discloses an automatic reversing conveyor for flat glass. It includes a conveyor frame with forward conveyor rollers perpendicular to the conveying direction arranged on it, and inclined conveyor rollers at an angle to the conveying direction. Two auxiliary rotating rollers are located beside the conveyor frame at the initial position of the inclined conveyor rollers, and a side-mounted roller is located on one side of the conveyor frame along the inclined conveyor rollers. This automatic reversing conveyor for flat glass can automatically rotate 90 degrees during conveying and then be conveyed to the side, meeting the needs of automated processing. However, the disclosed structure of this automatic reversing conveyor for flat glass requires the flat glass to be placed close to the auxiliary rotating rollers when placed on the forward conveyor rollers to avoid the flat glass being unable to turn due to not contacting the auxiliary rotating rollers. The operation steps are relatively strict and cumbersome, and cannot meet the requirements for automatic side-mounting and turning. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to achieve automatic side-mounted conveying of cigarettes regardless of their initial state, ensure automatic turning during side-mounted transport, and reduce the requirements for the initial placement of cigarettes, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a side-mounted reversing conveying device for cigarettes, including a pair of support beams, a plurality of inclined rollers arranged between the pair of support beams, at least one deflecting roller arranged on the support beams, the plurality of inclined rollers arranged in parallel, and the plurality of inclined rollers forming an oblique angle with the conveying direction of the cigarettes, so that when the cigarettes are conveyed between the plurality of inclined rollers, they are gradually adhered to the inner side of one of the support beams; The deflecting roller is rotatably mounted on the support beam that is close to the side of the cigarette pack. The deflecting roller is used to block the cigarette pack from one corner of the front end and, together with the friction of the inclined roller, rotates and changes the direction of the cigarette pack.

[0005] Beneficial effects: By combining the inclined rollers and the deflecting rollers, the inclined rollers can gradually convey the cigarette packs to the inner side of a support beam. During edge conveying, the deflecting rollers, through obstruction and rotational friction, automatically reverse the cigarette packs' direction. This achieves automatic edge conveying regardless of the initial state of the cigarette packs and enables automatic turning, reducing the requirements for the initial placement of the cigarette packs.

[0006] Based on the above, the support beam is provided with a plurality of the aforementioned deflecting rollers, which are located on the same side of the support beam, so that the cigarette pack can be continuously reversed.

[0007] Beneficial effects: By utilizing the cooperation of multiple deflecting rollers and inclined rollers, after changing direction using the previous deflecting roller, the cigarettes can be conveyed by the inclined roller to the adjacent deflecting roller for further changing direction, thus realizing the continuous changing direction requirement of the cigarettes and maximizing the satisfaction of the coding requirements of the subsequent coding machine.

[0008] Based on the above, the rotation axis of the deflector roller is arranged perpendicular to the inclined roller so that the side of the cigarette piece rotates and fits against the outer circumferential surface of the deflector roller.

[0009] Beneficial effects: By setting the rotation axis of the deflecting roller perpendicular to the inclined roller during installation, when the deflecting roller blocks the smoke, the outer circumferential surface of the deflecting roller can be completely in contact with the side wall of the smoke, increasing the contact area, improving the smoothness of the smoke reversal, and avoiding damage to the smoke.

[0010] Based on the above, several inclined rollers are movably arranged on the support beam so that the inclined rollers can change their inclination state on the support beam, thereby making the support beams on different sides fit into the cigarette pack.

[0011] Beneficial effects: By flexibly cooperating with the inclined rollers and support beams, the inclination direction of the inclined rollers can be changed according to the equipment installation position, and the support beams on different sides can be selected for transportation according to the actual use environment and conveying direction.

[0012] Based on the above, the length of the inclined roller is greater than the spacing between the pair of support beams.

[0013] Beneficial effect: Designing the inclined roller to be longer than the spacing between the pair of support beams ensures that the inclined roller can be connected to the pair of support beams at various inclination angles, avoiding the situation where the two ends of the inclined roller cannot overlap the support beams.

[0014] Based on the above, one of the support beams is equipped with several sensors, and the other support beam is equipped with several sensor reflectors. The sensor reflectors are arranged opposite to the sensors, and the sensors are used to sense the delivery position of the cigarette based on whether or not they receive the reflected signal from the sensor reflectors.

[0015] Beneficial effects: By combining the inclined roller, the sensor, and the sensor reflector, the specific conveying position of the cigarette pack can be detected by the position of the cigarette pack blocking the sensor signal during the conveying process of the inclined roller, thus facilitating the tracking of the position and current posture of the cigarette pack.

[0016] Based on the above, at least one of the deflecting rollers is provided on each of the pair of support beams, and the deflecting rollers on the two support beams are staggered to meet the cigarette reversal requirements after the inclined roller changes its inclination state on the support beam.

[0017] Beneficial effects: By setting guide rollers on the support beams on both sides, and utilizing the cooperation between the guide rollers and the inclined rollers, the direction of the cigarette pack can be changed by using guide rollers on different support beams according to the inclination direction of the inclined rollers. This facilitates debugging according to the on-site installation environment and expands the scope of equipment application.

[0018] Based on the above, the specifications of the various inclined rollers are the same, and the rotation direction and speed of the various inclined rollers are the same.

[0019] Beneficial effects: By designing the inclined rollers to have the same specifications, the versatility of the inclined rollers is increased, improving assembly and maintenance efficiency. Simultaneously, coordinating the rotation direction and speed of several inclined rollers ensures the smoothness and stability of the cigarette packs during side conveying.

[0020] Based on the above, the bottom of the support frame is adjustablely provided with a support, which is used to adjust the horizontal state of the support frame.

[0021] Beneficial effects: By coordinating the support frame, support base and support beam, the assembly consistency of several inclined rollers can be ensured, and the smooth transport of cigarettes on the inclined rollers can be achieved.

[0022] This utility model has substantial features and advancements compared to existing technologies. Specifically, the utility model provides a cigarette pack reversing conveying device. By uniformly installing several inclined rollers on a pair of support beams in an inclined direction, it ensures that regardless of the cigarette pack's position on the inclined rollers, it can be uniformly conveyed to the inner side of the same support beam, thus reducing the requirements for the initial placement position of the cigarette pack. Simultaneously, by setting deflecting rollers on the inner side of the support beam, it can block the cigarette pack being conveyed to the side, causing it to automatically change direction to meet the coding requirements of the subsequent coding machine. This achieves automatic warehousing of cigarette packs of different sizes and specifications, and ensures automatic side-mounted conveying regardless of the initial state of the cigarette pack, automatic turning during side-mounted transport, and reduced requirements for the initial placement position of the cigarette pack.

[0023] Furthermore, by installing sensors and sensor reflectors on a pair of support beams, the transportation status of cigarette packs can be detected using sensors.

[0024] Furthermore, by using a roller bracket to mount the deflector roller on the support beam and rotatably mounting the deflector roller on the roller bracket, a 90° rotation of the cigarette pack can be achieved while avoiding damage to the cigarette pack. Attached Figure Description
