Development of a Novel Spring-Reset-Triggered Packaging Wheel Overbridge for ZB417

Abstract

To address the issue that the original packaging wheel overbridge of the ZB417 packaging unit is a fixed structure incapable of effectively detecting defective cigarette packs during the conveying process of cigarette group packaging and forming, this paper proposes a novel packaging wheel overbridge design scheme. Adopting an integrated design of mechanical and detection components, the scheme realizes elastic lifting of the overbridge plate via reset springs and trigger studs, and achieves automatic detection of defective cigarette packs and shutdown protection with proximity switches. Practical application results show that the device can effectively identify expanded and deformed cigarette packs, significantly reduce the incidence of quality accidents, and adapt to carton papers of varying thicknesses.
