[0003] Cigarette packaging boxes are divided into hard boxes and soft boxes. Hard boxes are generally made by mechanically pressing marks on hard paper, then folding along the corresponding marks, and finally folding along the indentation into the shape of a cigarette box. During the folding process, if the depth and width of the crease do not meet the corresponding standards, it is not easy to fold into a regular cigarette box, and the adhesive is easy to crack. Therefore, when the packaging paper of the hard box enters the factory, the depth and width of the crease will be tested to see if it meets the standards. At present, the crease inspection at the time of entry into the factory is generally carried out by experienced inspectors visually and touching by hand, and compared with the standard crease depth card to see if it meets the standards.

[0047] The steering assembly includes a mounting plate 32 , a stepper motor 34 and a support tube 33 . One end of the mounting plate 32 is fixedly mounted on the fixing frame 31 . A through slot 301 is formed on the mounting plate 32 . The position of the through slot 301 corresponds to the sleeve 7 . The support cylinder 33 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 32 and corresponds to the position of the through slot 301. A connecting plate 331 is fixedly mounted on the support cylinder 33. The stepper motor 34 is mounted on the connecting plate 331. The output shaft of the stepper motor 34 passes through the connecting plate 331 and is fixedly mounted with a rotating cylinder 35. The rotating cylinder 35 passes through the through slot 301 and is sleeved on the sleeve 7. A rotating slot 351 is provided on the rotating cylinder 35. A clamping block 71 is fixedly mounted on the sleeve 7. The clamping block 71 is slidably mounted in the rotating slot 351. When the stepper motor 34 is started, the clamping block 71, the rotating cylinder 35 and the rotating slot 351 cooperate with each other, so that the stepper motor 34 can drive the sleeve 7 and the suction cup 73 to rotate, thereby turning the packaging box 6 adsorbed by the suction cup 73 from vertical to horizontal.

[0048] A storage box 5 is placed on the ground at one end of the first belt 18 , and qualified packaging boxes 6 can be stored through the storage box 5 to prevent the packaging boxes 6 from falling on the ground.

[0049] In this embodiment, before use, the first control panel 25 is activated first, thereby activating the first laser rangefinder 23, and the second control panel 45 is activated, thereby activating the second laser rangefinder 43;

[0050] When in use, the unfolded packaging box 6 is placed vertically on the first belt 18 and located between the two first limit plates 11. As the first motor 13 is started, the first belt 18 rotates, driving the vertical packaging box 6 to pass through the first laser distance measuring device 2. The first laser distance measuring device 23 detects whether the two vertical folds meet the standards. If they meet the standards, the green light is on, and the unfolded vertical packaging box 6 continues to move on the first belt 18. If they do not meet the standards, the red light is on, and the staff takes it away.

[0051] When the packaging box 6 that meets the standards and is unfolded vertically moves between the two second limit plates 111, the hydraulic cylinder 364 is started, driving the sleeve 7 and the suction cup 73 to move downward, so that the suction cup 73 contacts the packaging box 6. At the same time, the negative pressure machine 373 is started to make the suction cup 73 absorb the packaging box 6. Then the transmission rod 363 moves upward, the stepper motor 34 is started, and the stepper motor 34 drives the sleeve 7 and the suction cup 73 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the vertical packaging box 6 turns horizontally. Then the hydraulic cylinder 364 drives the sleeve 7 and the suction cup 73 to move downward, so that the packaging box 6 moves downward and contacts the first belt 18. At this time, the negative pressure machine 373 stops working, so that the suction cup 73 releases the horizontal packaging box 6. After releasing, the hydraulic cylinder 364 drives the sleeve 7 and the suction cup 73 to move upward, and the stepper motor 34 returns the sleeve 7 and the suction cup 73 to wait for the next work.

[0052] After the turning is completed, the horizontal packaging box 6 moves with the first belt 18, passes through the second laser distance measuring device 4, and is detected by the second laser distance measuring device 43 to see whether the six horizontal creases meet the standards. If they meet the standards, the green light comes on, and the unfolded horizontal packaging box moves with the first belt 18 and enters the storage box 5. If they do not meet the standards, the red light comes on, and the staff can take it away, thereby enabling the entire device to continuously detect the creases of the packaging box 6 and reduce the labor intensity of the staff.
