Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cigarette pack conveying in packaging machines, and specifically relates to a portable spring-loaded cigarette pack separator device used at the front end of a vision detector. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure the appearance quality of cigarette packs, visual detectors need to be installed on the cigarette pack conveyor to inspect all five sides of the packs. This inspection requires high-speed cameras to photograph all five sides. However, when the conveyor belt is congested due to a large number of packs, they become connected end-to-end, making it impossible to photograph all five sides. Using a cigarette pack separator to separate the packs ensures that visual inspection of all five sides can be completed. When traditional cigarette pack separators malfunction and require maintenance, a portable cigarette pack separator that is easy to install and adaptable to different models is needed to ensure normal operation of the equipment and effective appearance inspection.

[0003] This utility model is proposed for this purpose. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable cigarette pack separating device. This device, when a traditional cigarette pack separating device malfunctions, reduces equipment downtime by adding it to the cigarette pack conveying channel. It separates the cigarette packs before the visual detector, ensuring normal operation and effective visual inspection during maintenance of the original separating device. This device can also be used for separating other packaged products.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A portable cigarette pack dispenser device includes: a left-side component and a right-side component that are mirror-symmetrically arranged on both sides of a cigarette pack conveyor belt 7, wherein the distance between the left-side component and the right-side component is slightly less than the thickness of the cigarette pack 9.

[0007] Preferably, the left or right component includes the following components: spring sheet 1, spring sheet bracket 2, and C-shaped frame 4; the spring sheet 1 is two elastic sheet bodies folded into an L shape, one of which has a protrusion 11 in the middle; the spring sheet 1 is fixed on the spring sheet bracket 2, and the spring sheet bracket 2 is fixed to the inner side of the upper crossbeam 41 of the C-shaped frame 4 by bolts 3; the height of the spring sheet 1 is not greater than half the height of the C-shaped frame 4; this ensures that the spring sheet 1 is on the upper part of the conveyor belt 7, and also ensures that the C-shaped frame 4 can be clamped on the conveyor belt bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the conveyor belt 7 is arranged on the conveyor belt support 6; on the conveyor belt support 6, there is a cigarette pack guardrail 8 on each side of the conveyor belt 7, and the two cigarette pack guardrails 8 are respectively arranged between the spring piece 1 and the vertical beam 42 of the C-shaped frame 4.

[0009] Preferably, the lower crossbeam 43 of the C-shaped frame 4 is provided with a bolt connected to a handle as a locking handle 5; the two C-shaped frames 4 are fixed to the conveyor belt support 6 and the cigarette pack guardrail 8 by their respective locking handles 5, and the two spring pieces 1 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the two cigarette pack guardrails 8; the protrusions 11 of the two spring pieces 1 are opposite each other, and the distance between the protrusions 11 of the two spring pieces 1 is slightly less than the thickness of the cigarette pack 9.

[0010] The portable cigarette pack dispenser device of this utility model is used as follows: Figure 1 As shown, when the cigarette pack 9 is transported by the conveyor belt 7 to the protrusions 11 of the two spring pieces 1 in the direction of the arrow, the distance between the protrusions 11 of the two spring pieces 1 is slightly less than the thickness of the cigarette pack 9. The cigarette pack is slowed down or stopped due to being clamped by the two spring pieces 1, which makes the cigarette pack separate from the other cigarette pack in front of it by a certain distance, thus realizing the separation of the cigarette packs in pairs; making it easier for the small pack visual detector to complete the five-sided detection of the individual cigarette pack.

[0011] The cigarette pack 9 is conveyed by the friction between the cigarette pack 9 and the surface of the conveyor belt 7. Since the gap between the protrusions 11 of the two spring plates 1 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the cigarette pack 9, the cigarette pack is slowed down or stopped due to being clamped by the two spring plates 1. However, the spring plates 1 are elastic, and after the cigarette pack 9 slows down or stops, it can still continue to move forward in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 7 by the friction between the cigarette pack 9 and the surface of the conveyor belt 7. After the cigarette pack 9 passes the gap between the protrusions 11 of the two spring plates 1, the friction between the cigarette pack 9 and the surface of the conveyor belt 7 makes the cigarette pack 9 continue to move forward at the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 7.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The portable cigarette pack separator of this utility model is simple to set up and easy to carry, and can easily separate cigarette packs in pairs.

[0014] 2. The portable spring-loaded cigarette pack divider of this utility model can be clamped onto the conveyor belt bracket of different models by locking handle 5, which is flexible in installation and can cope with the sudden situation of various models of units.

[0015] 3. The distance between the two springs 1 of the portable spring cigarette pack separator of this utility model is adjustable, and it can be used to separate cigarette packs of different specifications.

[0016] 4. The two springs 1 of the portable spring cigarette pack divider device of this utility model have moderate elasticity, which can separate the cigarette packs at a certain distance without deforming the cigarette packs.

[0017] 5. The portable spring-loaded cigarette pack divider of this utility model facilitates the five-sided inspection of cigarette packs by the small pack visual detector, reducing downtime during the maintenance of traditional cigarette pack dividers; after the maintenance of traditional cigarette pack dividers is completed, the portable spring-loaded cigarette pack divider of this utility model can be disassembled.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a portable cigarette pack divider device, which includes a left side component and a right side component that are mirror-symmetrical and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cigarette pack 9 conveyor belt 7. The distance between the left side component and the right side component is slightly less than the thickness of the cigarette pack 9.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the left or right component includes the following components: spring piece 1, spring piece bracket 2, and C-shaped frame 4; the spring piece 1 is two elastic sheet-like bodies folded into an L-shape, one of which has a protrusion 11 in the middle; the spring piece 1 is fixed on the spring piece bracket 2, and the spring piece bracket 2 is fixed to the inner side of the upper crossbeam 41 of the C-shaped frame 4 by bolts 3; the height of the spring piece 1 is not greater than half the height of the C-shaped frame 4; the spring piece 1 can be a metal sheet or a plastic sheet.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt 7 is arranged on the conveyor belt support 6; on the conveyor belt support 6, there is a cigarette pack guardrail 8 on each side of the conveyor belt 7, and the two cigarette pack guardrails 8 are respectively arranged between the spring piece 1 and the vertical beam 42 of the C-shaped frame 4.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower crossbeam 43 of the C-frame 4 is provided with a bolt connected to a handle, which is a locking handle 5; the two C-frames 4 are fixed to the conveyor belt support 6 and the cigarette pack guardrail 8 by their respective locking handles 5, and two spring pieces 1 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the two cigarette pack guardrails 8; the protrusions 11 of the two spring pieces 1 are opposite each other, and the distance between the protrusions 11 of the two spring pieces 1 is slightly less than the thickness of the cigarette pack 9.

[0030] The portable spring-loaded cigarette pack divider of this utility model divides cigarette packs in the following way: (e.g.) Figure 1As shown, when the cigarette pack 9 is transported by the conveyor belt 7 to the protrusions 11 of the two spring pieces 1 in the direction of the arrow, the distance between the protrusions 11 of the two spring pieces 1 is slightly less than the thickness of the cigarette pack 9; the cigarette pack is slowed down or stopped due to being clamped by the two spring pieces 1, so that the cigarette pack is separated from the other cigarette pack in front by a certain distance, realizing the separation of the cigarette packs in pairs; making it easier for the small pack visual detector to complete the five-sided detection of the individual cigarette pack.

[0031] The cigarette pack 9 is conveyed by the friction between the cigarette pack 9 and the surface of the conveyor belt 7. Since the gap between the protrusions 11 of the two spring plates 1 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the cigarette pack 9 and the spring plates 1 are elastic, the cigarette pack is slowed down or stopped due to being clamped by the two spring plates 1. However, after the cigarette pack 9 passes the gap between the protrusions 11 of the two spring plates 1, it can still continue to move forward at the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 7 by the friction between the cigarette pack 9 and the surface of the conveyor belt 7.

[0032] Therefore, the portable spring-loaded cigarette pack separator of this invention easily separates cigarette packs 9 from each other without affecting the conveying of cigarette packs 9. This portable spring-loaded cigarette pack separator is simple to set up and easy to carry. It can be clamped onto the conveyor belt support of different models via the locking handle 5, offering flexible installation and adaptability to unexpected situations in various machine models. The spacing between the two springs 1 is adjustable, allowing for the separation of cigarette packs of different sizes. The material of the two springs 1 is designed with moderate elasticity, ensuring that the cigarette packs are separated at a certain distance without deforming them. This portable spring-loaded cigarette pack separator facilitates five-sided inspection of cigarette packs by a small-pack visual detector, reducing downtime during maintenance of traditional cigarette pack separators. After maintenance of traditional cigarette pack separators, this portable spring-loaded cigarette pack separator can be disassembled.

[0033] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, nor is the present invention limited to the examples described above. Any changes, modifications, additions, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
