Because the equipment components are typically heavy and complex, disassembly is not only inconvenient and unstable, but also poses safety hazards during handling. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a disassembly auxiliary support and cigarette packaging machine, which solves the problem of relying on manual handling and manual operation during the maintenance of tobacco packaging machines and lacking the strong support of special auxiliary tools, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and operational safety of equipment maintenance.

[0004] This application provides the following technical solution: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a disassembly auxiliary bracket, the disassembly auxiliary bracket having a height direction, the disassembly auxiliary bracket comprising: Movable transfer components; A support assembly is disposed on the transfer assembly to move with the transfer assembly, and the support assembly includes a carrier and an adjusting member. The adjusting member is used to carry the workpiece and is connected to the carrier. The adjusting member is used to adjust the height position of the carrier to drive the workpiece to rise and fall.

[0005] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the adjusting member includes an adjusting screw, the bottom end of which is threadedly connected to the transfer assembly, and the top end of which is connected to the carrier member, wherein the height position of the carrier member is adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw.

[0006] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the adjusting member further includes at least one locking nut, each of the locking nuts being threadedly connected to the adjusting screw, and at least one of the locking nuts abutting against the transfer assembly.

[0007] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the number of locking nuts is at least two, and at least one locking nut is provided on each side of the connection between the transfer assembly and the adjusting screw, and the locking nuts abut against each side of the connection between the transfer assembly and the adjusting screw.

[0008] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the carrier has a bearing surface for bearing the workpiece.

[0009] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the bearing surface is defined by forming a receiving groove.

[0010] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the transfer assembly includes a base and at least one movable member disposed at its bottom, the support assembly being disposed on the base, and the movable member enabling the base to move in at least one direction on the ground.

[0011] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the number of movable components is multiple, the movable components are omnidirectional wheels, and each of the movable components is distributed at the bottom of the base to support the base and enable the base to move in multiple directions on the ground.

[0012] In some embodiments of the first aspect, the transfer assembly further includes a brake disposed on the base for selectively restricting movement of the base.

[0013] Secondly, this application also provides a cigarette packaging machine, which includes a disassembly auxiliary support as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0014] The embodiments of this application have the following advantages: This application provides a disassembly auxiliary support. The support has a movable transfer component at its bottom, allowing the entire support to be easily moved to the corresponding position of the part to be disassembled on the packaging machine and locked after positioning, providing a stable foundation for subsequent operations. The support component is connected to the carrier component via an adjusting component. During operation, the lifting and lowering of the carrier component can be precisely controlled by driving the adjusting component. This allows the carrier component to adapt to disassembly docking surfaces of different heights, smoothly supporting the workpiece unloaded from the equipment, and adjusting the workpiece to a comfortable operating height as needed during maintenance. The carrier component directly contacts and fixes the workpiece, and its structure can be optimized according to the shape of typical packaging machine components, providing reliable clamping or support to prevent the workpiece from shaking or slipping during disassembly, inspection, or assembly. The entire process realizes a transformation from manual handling and difficult positioning to mechanical support and precise adjustment, shifting the operator's main role from physical handling to control and assembly.

[0015] Compared to existing methods relying solely on manual labor, this application significantly improves operational safety and reduces labor intensity. By using mechanical supports to hold heavy components, it completely avoids safety hazards such as muscle injuries and falling component injuries that could result from direct manual handling, significantly reducing the physical burden and occupational injury risks for maintenance personnel. The mobility of the supports allows for quick and flexible component transfer; the height-adjustable function makes the docking, disassembly, inspection, and reassembly of workpieces more precise and convenient, reducing the time spent by multiple people cooperating and repeatedly attempting positioning, effectively shortening equipment downtime maintenance cycles. It provides a dedicated and stable physical support platform for the disassembly process, preventing components from being operated in a suspended or unstable state, facilitating precise disassembly, cleaning, inspection, and assembly operations, and improving the quality of maintenance work.

[0025] In the field of tobacco equipment maintenance, regular repair and upkeep of packaging machines are crucial, as their quality directly affects equipment operating efficiency and product quality stability. However, current packaging machine disassembly operations largely rely on manual handling and manual labor, lacking the support of specialized auxiliary tools. Because the equipment components are typically heavy and complex, disassembly is not only inconvenient and unstable, but also poses safety hazards during handling.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a disassembly auxiliary support. The disassembly auxiliary support has a height direction and includes a movable transfer component and a support component. The support component is disposed on the transfer component to move with the transfer component. The support component includes a carrier 300 and an adjusting component. The adjusting component is used to carry the workpiece. The adjusting component and the carrier 300 are connected. The adjusting component is used to adjust the height position of the carrier 300 to drive the workpiece to rise and fall.

[0027] In these embodiments, a disassembly auxiliary bracket for the maintenance of cigarette packaging machines is provided, the entire bracket being defined vertically as the height direction. This disassembly auxiliary bracket mainly includes a transfer assembly and a support assembly.

[0028] For example, the transfer assembly includes a base 100 and a plurality of casters disposed at the bottom of the base 100. In this embodiment, there are four casters, and at least two casters are equipped with foot-operated brakes to lock their positions when the bracket is positioned, preventing accidental slippage and improving operational safety.

[0029] The support assembly is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 100 and moves as a whole with the transfer assembly. The support assembly includes a support member 300 and an adjusting member. The support member 300 is a horizontally arranged tray with anti-slip textures or a rubber pad layer on its upper surface to stably support the packaging machine parts to be disassembled.

[0030] An adjusting component is connected between the carrier 300 and the base 100, used to adjust the position of the carrier 300 in the height direction, thereby driving the workpiece on it to rise and fall. In this embodiment, the adjusting component adopts a manual screw lifting mechanism, including a vertically arranged lead screw, a nut sleeve that engages with the lead screw thread, and a guide post fixed to the base 100. The carrier 300 is fixedly connected to the top of the nut sleeve. When the operator rotates the handwheel at the top of the lead screw, the nut sleeve slides up and down along the guide post, thereby driving the carrier 300 to rise and fall smoothly.

[0031] This structure allows maintenance personnel to flexibly adjust the workpiece support height according to the disassembly height requirements of different parts of the packaging machine, avoiding high-risk operations such as bending over, tiptoeing, or multiple people lifting, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and operational safety.

[0032] In some embodiments, the adjusting member includes an adjusting screw 400, the bottom end of which is threadedly connected to the transfer assembly, and the top end of which is connected to the carrier 300. The height position of the carrier 300 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 400.

[0033] In this embodiment, the adjusting component is specified. The adjusting screw 400 is vertically arranged along the height direction.

[0034] Specifically, the bottom end of the adjusting screw 400 is threadedly connected to the base 100 of the transfer assembly through an internal threaded hole; the top end of the adjusting screw 400 is rotatably or fixedly connected to the bottom center position of the bearing 300. In a preferred structure, the top end of the adjusting screw 400 is provided with a ball joint or bearing seat, so that the bearing 300 remains horizontal during lifting and lowering, avoiding tilting due to uneven load.

[0035] When the operator manually rotates the adjusting screw 400 (e.g., via the handle or hexagonal head on its top), the adjusting screw 400 will generate axial displacement during rotation because the internal threaded hole on the base 100 is fixed. This will cause the bearing 300 connected to it to rise or fall in the height direction, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the workpiece support height.

[0036] To improve ease of operation, height markings can be provided on the adjusting screw 400, or limit blocks can be installed on the side of the base 100 to prevent the load-bearing component 300 from rising excessively and causing instability. Furthermore, to prevent the screw from loosening due to vibration during equipment operation, a locking nut 500 can be installed on the adjusting screw 400. After adjusting to the target height, tighten the locking nut 500 to press it against the upper surface of the base 100, achieving mechanical locking.

[0037] This structure has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, high adjustment accuracy and good self-locking performance. It is especially suitable for tobacco packaging machine maintenance sites where there is no power supply or fine adjustment is required.

[0038] In some embodiments, the adjusting member further includes at least one locking nut 500, each locking nut 500 being threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 400, and at least one locking nut 500 abutting against the transfer assembly.

[0039] In this embodiment, a locking mechanism is further added to enhance the stability and safety of the disassembly auxiliary support during operation.

[0040] In addition to the adjusting screw 400, the adjusting component also includes at least one locking nut 500. The locking nut 500 has an internal thread, is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the adjusting screw 400, and is axially movable along the adjusting screw 400.

[0041] In one configuration, two locking nuts 500 are provided, located on the upper and lower sides of the base 100, respectively. For example, the lower locking nut 500 is located below the base 100 and, when tightened, abuts against the lower surface of the base 100. The upper locking nut 500 is located above the base 100 and, when tightened, abuts against the upper surface of the base 100.

[0042] By tightening the two locking nuts 500 in opposite directions, the adjusting screw 400 can be firmly clamped in the mounting position of the base 100, effectively preventing the adjusting screw 400 from rotating or loosening axially due to equipment vibration, workpiece off-center loading or external impact, thereby avoiding the unexpected descent of the bearing 300 and ensuring the safety of maintenance operations.

[0043] In other simplified embodiments, only one locking nut 500 may be provided. This locking nut 500 is located above or below the base 100 and, after adjustment to the target height, is tightened to ensure tight contact with the corresponding surface (upper or lower surface) of the base 100, using friction to prevent loosening. For example, when the adjusting screw 400 is screwed in from below the base 100, a locking nut 500 can be added to the portion of it protruding from the upper surface of the base 100 and tightened downwards to press against the upper surface of the base 100, forming a one-sided locking.

[0044] Optionally, the locking nut 500 may be made of high-strength carbon steel or stainless steel and may be equipped with an anti-slip knurled surface or a wrench slot for easy manual or tool operation. In addition, an elastic washer or nylon washer may be added between the contact surfaces of the locking nut 500 and the base 100 to improve the anti-loosening performance and reduce metal wear.

[0045] This locking structure has the advantages of low cost, simple operation and high reliability, and is particularly suitable for maintenance scenarios such as tobacco workshops where there is slight vibration but no complex power system.

[0046] In some embodiments, the number of locking nuts 500 is at least two, and at least one locking nut 500 is provided on each side of the connection between the transfer component and the adjusting screw 400, and locking nuts 500 abut against each side of the connection between the transfer component and the adjusting screw 400.

[0047] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism is optimized by adopting a double-locking nut 500 clamp design to further improve the structural stability and vibration resistance after height adjustment.

[0048] The adjusting screw 400 passes through a through hole or threaded hole in the transfer assembly base 100. If it is a through hole, a nut provides a threaded fit. If it is a threaded hole, the adjusting screw 400 itself forms a threaded pair with the base 100. Regardless of the connection method, at least one locking nut 500 is provided on each side of the connection area where the adjusting screw 400 passes through the base 100, i.e., above and below the base 100.

[0049] Specifically, the first locking nut 500 is located below the base 100, threaded to the adjusting screw 400, and tightened upwards until it is in close contact with the lower surface of the base 100. The second locking nut 500 is located above the base 100, threaded to the adjusting screw 400, and tightened downwards until it is in close contact with the upper surface of the base 100.

[0050] By tightening the two locking nuts 500 in opposite directions, the base 100 is securely clamped between them, thereby completely fixing the position of the adjusting screw 400 relative to the transfer assembly. This structure not only effectively prevents the adjusting screw 400 from rotating or axially displacing due to external forces or vibrations, but also eliminates thread backlash and improves support rigidity.

[0051] In actual operation, the bearing 300 can be adjusted to the required height by rotating the adjusting screw 400 first, and then the lower locking nut 500 and the upper locking nut 500 can be tightened in sequence to form a sandwich-type lock. Preferably, the two locking nuts 500 are of the same specification and can be tightened in a standardized manner with a torque wrench to ensure uniform locking force.

[0052] This double-sided locking structure is particularly suitable for supporting heavy workpieces or in high-vibration environments (such as maintenance work areas near cigarette packaging machines), and can significantly reduce safety risks caused by support instability.

[0053] In some embodiments, the carrier has a bearing surface for bearing the workpiece.

[0054] In some embodiments, the carrier 300 has a bearing surface for direct contact with and support of the workpiece. This bearing surface is the upper surface of the carrier 300, and its shape, size, and surface treatment are adapted to the bottom profile of the workpiece to be disassembled.

[0055] For example, the bearing surface is a flat rectangular or circular plane, and the surface may be processed with anti-slip textures (such as cross grid patterns or knurling), have a rubber pad layer attached, or be embedded with polyurethane buffer blocks to increase the coefficient of friction, prevent workpiece slippage, reduce rigid collisions between metal parts, and protect the workpiece surface from damage.

[0056] In other embodiments, the bearing surface may be designed with partial recesses or bosses according to the bottom structure of the workpiece. For example, a V-groove may be provided to accommodate cylindrical shaft parts, or a locating pin hole may be provided to achieve rapid alignment. In addition, the edge of the bearing surface may extend upward to form a low side baffle to prevent the workpiece from slipping due to shaking during transportation.

[0057] By clearly defining a dedicated support surface, not only is the stability and safety of workpiece placement improved, but an intuitive operating interface is also provided for maintenance personnel, which is significantly better than the existing practice of temporarily using non-dedicated supports such as wooden blocks and iron plates.

[0058] In some embodiments, the bearing surface is defined by forming a receiving groove.

[0059] In these embodiments, the receiving groove is a downwardly recessed cavity structure whose shape matches the bottom contour of the workpiece to be disassembled (e.g., rectangular, circular, or irregularly shaped groove). When the workpiece is placed on the bearing surface, its bottom is embedded in the receiving groove, achieving automatic centering and limiting, effectively preventing the workpiece from shifting or tipping over due to bumps or turns during transportation.

[0060] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the receiving groove is provided with an elastic liner (such as rubber or polyurethane) to cushion impacts and protect the workpiece surface.

[0061] In some embodiments, the transfer assembly includes a base 100 and at least one movable element 200 disposed at its bottom, the support assembly being disposed on the base 100, and the movable element 200 enabling the base 100 to move in at least one direction on the ground.

[0062] In these embodiments, the transfer assembly includes a base 100 and a plurality of movable components 200 disposed on its bottom. The base 100 is a rigid flat plate structure (which may be made of steel plate or welded steel structure) for mounting the support assembly. The movable components 200 are four casters, respectively arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the base 100, forming a stable four-point support. Each caster has 360° rotation capability, allowing the entire support to move flexibly on the ground in any direction (forward, backward, left, right, and diagonal), facilitating precise positioning in confined packaging machine maintenance spaces.

[0063] In some embodiments, the transfer assembly further includes a brake 600 disposed on the base 100, the brake 600 being used to selectively restrict the movement of the base 100.

[0064] In these embodiments, the brake 600 is a foot-operated mechanical locking device integrated on at least two casters (typically arranged diagonally). The operator can lock the corresponding caster by stepping on it, thereby selectively restricting the overall movement of the base 100. After the bracket is in place and height adjustment is completed, activating the brake 600 ensures the equipment remains absolutely stationary during maintenance, preventing safety accidents caused by accidental slippage.

[0065] Of course, in other embodiments, the brake 600 is the brake part of a caster wheel with a braking function.

[0066] In some embodiments, this application also provides a cigarette packaging machine, which includes a disassembly auxiliary support as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0067] Since the aforementioned disassembly auxiliary support has the aforementioned technical effects, the cigarette packaging machine including the disassembly auxiliary support should have the same technical effects, which will not be elaborated here.

[0068] In all examples shown and described herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations; therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0069] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0070] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
