Design and implementation of cigarette convergence and cigarette flipping transport mechanism
In response to the increasing demand for personalized products in the cigarette industry, the factory has introduced corresponding packaging equipment for various forms of cigarette products, such as the production of medium cigarettes. For the cigarette filling of medium cigarette products, the current cigarette factory mainly adopts the way of manual packing. A production workshop of a cigarette factory is equipped with two FOCKE 465 packaging equipment for the production of medium cigarette products. In order to consider the work efficiency and occupying space, a dual-line coflow centralized loading station is designed for the loading of strip cigarette products produced by two FOCKE 465 packaging equipment. In order to match the working time of the two FOCKE 465 packaging equipment, the design and development of the smoke bar bus mechanism based on the crank connecting rod and the smoke box turnover sealing labeling and palletizing transfer device are carried out in this paper. The double line parallel flow of the output of the two FOCKE 465 packaging equipment is realized through the smoke bar bus mechanism. The switch sealing box labeling and palletizing transfer device realize the safe palletizing and transferring of cigarette products, and ensure the production of medium cigarettes well. The experimental results show that the efficiency of cigarette packing and sealing is increased from 20 bars/min to 40 bars/min. The qualified rate of packing and sealing products reached 96.7%, and the operating efficiency of equipment increased to 94.1%. At the same time, the labor input is effectively reduced, the efficiency and safety of the stack and transfer of the smoke box are improved, and the labor cost of the smoke box sealing is saved.
