Description

Cigarette box sorting system

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco processing, in particular to a tobacco box sorting system.

Background

At present, a roller connecting rod type sorting processing device is used in the sorting aspect of finished cigarette boxes, a piston rod of a single-action cylinder is connected to a support of a reversing roller, roller supports are fixed on a sorting device frame through clearance fit, and then all the roller supports are connected through connecting rods. The roller is driven to run by the friction force between a reversible belt driven by a driving motor below and the roller, so that the smoke box is driven to run straight or reverse, and the roller is used for detecting the position of a piston by detecting a left proximity switch and a right proximity switch which are arranged on a cylinder to realize in-place signal feedback. The reversing impact is large, the drum support hole and the connecting rod hole are easy to abrade, so that the hole is enlarged, a detection proximity switch is easy to loosen, and different air pressures can cause inaccurate detection positions and complex structures, so that the maintenance is inconvenient.

The roller connecting rod type sorting processing device can only enable the reversing to be stable by adjusting the opening degree of the reversing cylinder valve, reduces the impact and prolongs the service life of the connecting rod. One consequence of this is that the sorting is inefficient and the detection of the reverse and return to position is inaccurate. If the opening degree of the valve is adjusted to be large, the impact is too large, the failure rate is high, and the service life of the reversing connecting rod is seriously shortened. The sorting efficiency and the equipment failure rate are difficult to balance, and the labor intensity of maintenance workers is increased unnecessarily sometimes.

Principle of straight-going device:

utilize the belt 8 that motor 6 drove, drive transmission shaft 10 through the frictional force of belt 8, the speed between transmission shaft 10 and the conveying roller 2 sets for the same frequency through two the same motors and the same converter and guarantees equaling of speed, and wherein axis of rotation 10 rethread flexible transmission part 4 drives drive roller 3, realizes drive roller 3's rotation, and drive roller 3 and cylinder 2 realize synchronous speed.

Principle of the reversing device:

the movable support of the driving roller 3 is connected with a reversing connecting rod, the reversing connecting rod is connected with a rotating driving part 13 (cylinder), the swinging direction of the driving roller 3 is changed but the direction of the roller 2 is not changed by utilizing the extension and contraction of a single-action cylinder, the roller 2 is fixedly arranged, and the action of the reversing cylinder is controlled by the brand information distinguished by a code reader at the upstream of the sorting device, so that the straight movement or the reversing of the driving roller 3 is realized.

Principle of the lifting device:

the lift drive part 18 (cylinder) links to each other with sorting device's frame 19 through the blotter, and when will sorting, lift drive part 18's cylinder piston rod will sorting device jack-up, realizes that the smoke box breaks away from straight going drive roller 2, changes the letter sorting interference of carrying the cylinder to the finished product cigarette, accomplishes the letter sorting of smoke box under the cooperation of drive roller 3 switching-over and lift action, realizes making an uproar at the end, less impact, efficient letter sorting effect.

When this cylinder sorting device turndown valve opening degree made the switching-over steady, because of the switching-over all be same group's cylinder with the straight line, when steady switching-over, the switching-over time was long, sorting inefficiency. When quick switching-over, the switching-over is strikeed and the noise is big, and the switching-over connecting rod can be worn and torn with higher speed, can enlarge the hole that cylinder and connecting rod link to each other, and the fastening bolt nut leads to taking off because of strikeing greatly.

The technical scheme of the embodiment aims at the problems that a drum-type reversing sorting device is large in reversing impact, spare parts are easy to damage, fastening bolts and nuts are easy to loosen, reversing efficiency is low, maintenance is convenient and the like, and the invention provides a brand-new finished product cigarette box sorting method and device.

Under the basic structure of guaranteeing finished product cigarette case letter sorting transport, separate cigarette case's two kinds of motions of going straight and letter sorting, carry cylinder 2 to roll and decide on letter sorting line support promptly, install drive roller 3 mechanism between the space between two adjacent cylinders 2, because of drive roller 3 lightly strike little noiselessness switching-over when the switching-over steady. When the driving roller 3 mechanism is reversed, the mechanism is jacked up under the action of the lifting cylinder to form a slope, so that the cigarette box is stably and excessively driven to the driving roller 3. The direction of the driving roller 3 is changed under the action of the reversing driving part 13, and the synchronous rotating speed of the roller 2 and the driving roller 3 is kept under the driving of the same flat belt, so that the stable reversing of the smoke box is ensured.

When finished product cigarette case need not to sort and go straight, partial shipment device descends to the low level under the effect of lift drive part 18, and drive roller 3 position returns to just. Make the cylinder and the upper end tangent line of drive roller 3 level mutually, the central axis of drive roller 3 and cylinder is parallel, guarantees the steady craspedodrome of smoke box. No matter the smoke box is sorting switching-over or moves straightly like this, sorting device can both be fast steady realize the switching-over, finally makes the efficiency of finished product smoke box letter sorting improve by a wide margin, ensures off-the-shelf transport and production.

The above description is only exemplary of the invention and should not be taken as limiting the invention, as any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the invention should be included in the protection scope of the invention.
