Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of tobacco manufacturing technology, specifically to a device for efficiently opening the lid of a cigarette manufacturing container. Background Technology

[0002] In the cigarette factory production process, glue drums are commonly used containers, widely applied in various stages of the production line, for storing and supplying the glue materials needed for production. The first step in using these drums is to open the lid, but the currently prevalent method of opening the lid in the industry has significant operational flaws.

[0003] There are currently two main methods for opening bucket lids: The first method uses simple tools such as screwdrivers. The operator needs to insert the end of the screwdriver into the gap between the lid and the bucket body and pry the lid off the bucket body point by point. The whole process requires constant adjustment of the prying position, which is cumbersome and inefficient. The second method uses a specially made simple tool. After inserting the tool into the edge of the lid, the lid is opened by continuously applying upward prying force. Although this method is slightly better in terms of tool compatibility than the first method, it still relies on manual external force to complete the operation. Both of these methods rely entirely on manual labor, requiring operators to expend considerable physical effort and resulting in a lengthy cap-opening process that severely impacts production continuity and efficiency. This is particularly pronounced in scenarios like cigarette factories where a high production pace is crucial, where the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of traditional cap-opening methods becomes a potential bottleneck hindering the smooth operation of the production process.

[0004] Therefore, developing a device that can conveniently and efficiently open cigarette can lids to replace the existing manual opening method is of great practical significance for improving the operating efficiency of cigarette factory production lines and reducing the labor intensity of operators. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this application is to provide a device for efficiently opening the lids of cigarette cans, aiming to solve the technical problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency in traditional manual lid opening methods.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: A device for efficiently opening the lid of a cigarette can includes a base plate. A base is provided on the top wall of the base plate, and a support seat is provided in the middle of the top wall of the base. A motor is provided inside the base. The output end of the motor is locked to one end of a lead screw through a coupling. The other end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base through a bearing. A pair of connecting blocks are threaded onto the outer wall of the lead screw. Each of the two connecting blocks has a connecting rod at its top. The top ends of the two connecting rods extend out of the base, and each of the two connecting rods is connected to a clamp on its inner side, which is close to each other. Anti-slip pads are provided on the inner side walls of the two clamps that are close to each other. The top wall of the base plate also has a lid opening mechanism.

[0007] As a further improvement of this application, the opening mechanism includes two hydraulic telescopic rods; the fixed ends of the two hydraulic telescopic rods are both erected on the base plate and located on both sides of the base respectively; the extension and retraction directions of the movable ends of the two hydraulic telescopic rods are parallel to each other, and a top plate is connected between them; a column is provided in the middle of the bottom wall of the top plate, a top block is provided on the bottom wall of the column, a ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the column and fixedly connected by bolts, two collars are movably sleeved on the ring, each of the two collars is connected to one end of a connecting rope, and the other end of each connecting rope is provided with a hook.

[0008] As a further improvement to this application, the top block is located directly above the support base.

[0009] As a further improvement of this application, the upper end surface of the base and both the left and right sides of the support are provided with elongated holes, and the outer wall of the connecting rod is placed inside the elongated holes.

[0010] As a further improvement of this application, the lead screw is a bidirectional lead screw, and a pair of connecting blocks are threadedly connected to the threads of different directions on the outer wall of the lead screw.

[0011] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects: During use, this application achieves automatic clamping of the barrel by driving the lead screw with a motor, and the hydraulic telescopic rod drives the top block and hook to complete the opening action. This changes the traditional mode that relies on manual prying. Operators do not need to apply external force and only need to complete simple auxiliary operations such as placing the barrel and attaching the hook, which greatly reduces physical exertion. It is especially suitable for high-frequency opening scenarios such as cigarette factories. The coordinated operation of the electric motor and hydraulic system eliminates the tedious steps of prying and repeatedly adjusting point by point in the traditional method. The process of fixing the barrel, lifting the lid, and pulling the hook is smooth and efficient, which shortens the opening time of a single barrel, avoids the production line stagnation caused by slow opening, and helps to steadily advance the production rhythm.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0016] Figure 1 This application illustrates one embodiment of a device for efficiently opening the lid of a cigarette industry plastic container, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the device for efficiently opening the lid of a cigarette industry plastic drum includes: See Figure 1-3 As shown, a device for efficiently opening the lid of a cigarette can includes a base plate 1, a base 2 on the top wall of the base plate 1, a support seat 3 in the middle of the top wall of the base 2, a motor 4 inside the base 2, the output end of the motor 4 is locked to one end of a lead screw 5 through a coupling, the other end of the lead screw 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base 2 through a bearing 6, a pair of connecting blocks 7 are threaded on the outer wall of the lead screw 5, each of the two connecting blocks 7 has a connecting rod 8 at its top, the top of each of the two connecting rods 8 extends out of the base 2, and each of the inner sides of the two connecting rods 8 is connected to a clamp 9, the inner walls of the two clamps 9 are provided with anti-slip pads 10, and the top wall of the base plate 1 is also provided with a lid opening mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, the opening mechanism includes two hydraulic telescopic rods 11; the fixed ends of the two hydraulic telescopic rods 11 are both erected on the base plate 1 and located on both sides of the base 2; the extension and retraction directions of the movable ends of the two hydraulic telescopic rods 11 are parallel to each other, and a top plate 12 is connected between them; a column 13 is provided in the middle of the bottom wall of the top plate 12, a top block 14 is provided on the bottom wall of the column 13, and a ring 15 is sleeved on the outer wall of the column 13 and fixedly connected by bolts 16; two collars 17 are movably sleeved on the ring 15, and each of the two collars 17 is connected to one end of a connecting rope 18, and the other end of each connecting rope 18 is provided with a hook 19; the top plate 12 is pushed by the hydraulic telescopic rods 11, which in turn drives the column 13, top block 14, ring 15, collar 17 and hook 19 to move upward, and the lid is opened upward by the multiple hooks 19, thus realizing the opening operation of the bucket.

[0018] Furthermore, the top block 14 is located directly above the support base 3. After the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is activated, it causes the top plate 12 to drive the column 13, top block 14, ring 15, collar 17 and hook 19 to move downward, so that the top block 14 contacts the center position of the bucket lid and continues to push the top block 14 downward. After the bucket lid is squeezed by the top block 14, it is convenient to lift up the outer edge of the bucket body.

[0019] Furthermore, the upper end face of the base 2 and both sides of the support base 3 are provided with elongated holes, and the outer wall of the connecting rod 8 is placed in the elongated holes for the connecting rod 8 to move.

[0020] Furthermore, the lead screw 5 is a bidirectional lead screw, and a pair of connecting blocks 7 are threadedly connected to the threads of different directions on the outer wall of the lead screw 5. After the motor 4 is started, the lead screw 5 is rotated. The lead screw 5 causes the two connecting blocks 7 to simultaneously drive the connecting rod 8, the clamp 9 and the anti-slip pad 10 to move inward or outward.

[0021] For those skilled in the art, all electrical components and parts in this case are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. All models are compatible with this solution and can operate normally. All electrical components in this case are connected to their compatible power supplies through wires. According to the actual situation, a suitable controller is selected to meet the control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle below, and the electrical connection is completed by the sequential operation of each electrical component. The detailed connection method is a well-known technology in the art, and the electrical control will not be described further.

[0022] One specific application of this embodiment is: In use, first place the bucket to be opened stably in the center of the support base 3, ensuring that the bucket axis is consistent with the direction of force applied by the top block 14, laying the foundation for accurate opening. After starting the motor 4, its output torque drives the lead screw 5 to rotate at a constant speed. With the help of the thread transmission characteristics of the lead screw 5, the connecting blocks 7 symmetrically distributed on both sides move synchronously inward along the axis of the lead screw. Then, through the connecting rod 8, the clamp 9 and the anti-slip pad 10 on the inner side gradually approach the bucket. When the two clamps 9 contact the surface of the bucket, the continuous driving force causes the clamps 9 to form a ring-shaped clamp and fix the bucket. At this time, the anti-slip pad 10 significantly increases the static friction between the clamp 9 and the bucket through the high friction coefficient of its own material, effectively preventing the bucket from axially rotating or radially shifting during the subsequent opening process, further improving the stability of the fixation. After the barrel body is fixed, the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is activated, and its piston rod extends downward, pushing the top plate 12, along with the column 13, top block 14, ring 15, collar 17, and hooks 19, to move vertically downward as a whole. When the lower end face of the top block 14 makes precise contact with the center of the barrel lid, the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 continues to output thrust. The top block 14 applies continuous and stable downward pressure to the center of the barrel lid, causing the sealing structure at the connection between the barrel lid and the barrel body to gradually fail. Due to uneven force, the outer edge of the barrel lid naturally curls upward. At this time, the operator can select an appropriate number of hooks 19 according to the size of the barrel lid and the degree of edge curling, and hook them one by one to the curled part of the edge of the barrel lid to ensure that the contact points between the hooks 19 and the barrel lid are evenly distributed, avoiding excessive local force that could cause the barrel lid to deform. After the hook 19 is installed, the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is reversed, the piston rod retracts upward, and the top plate 12 and the connected column 13, top block 14, ring 15, collar 17 and hook 19 move upward as a whole. During this process, the hook 19 applies an upward pulling force to the lid, which, together with the squeezing effect of the top block 14 on the center of the lid, completely separates the lid from the body, realizing the opening operation of the lid. Then, the operator can remove the separated lid, and then reverse the motor 4 to make the lead screw 5 rotate in the opposite direction, driving the connecting block 7, connecting rod 8, clamp 9 and anti-slip pad 10 to move outward, releasing the clamping and fixing of the body. Finally, the opened body is smoothly removed from the support 3, completing the entire operation process.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
