[0032] The present invention controls multiple cylinders through a PLC controller to automatically fill in the blank areas in different lateral areas. At the same time, the PLC controller is connected to a belt conveyor to ensure the automation degree of rectification production, which is beneficial to improving production quality, promoting sustainable development, and reducing waste and cost.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a device for arranging tobacco slices after slicing is provided, that is, a device that can automatically handle tobacco slices when belt leakage occurs. When the imaging detection device detects belt leakage, a signal is transmitted to the PLC control system, and the PLC delays 25 seconds to transmit a signal to the cylinder solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve controls the cylinder to drive the palladium nail to descend, so as to disperse the tobacco slices and fill the leakage section, thereby achieving the purpose of balancing the flow through the loosening and rehumidification electronic scale, and avoiding manual loosening by personnel.

[0034] The device for arranging sliced ​​cigarettes after slicing comprises: an imaging monitoring device, a PLC controller, a solenoid valve, a cylinder, a palladium nail, and two sets of brackets. The imaging device is a color difference monitoring device, which is used to distinguish yellow cigarettes from white belts, that is, the belts are all leaking white. The input end of the PLC controller is connected to the output end of the imaging device, and the output end of the PLC controller is connected to the input end of the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is a two-position three-way solenoid valve, which is used to drive the cylinder lifting and retracting rod to move, and the cylinder is a lifting and retracting cylinder. The palladium nail is a special palladium nail, and the contact point between the nail teeth and the cigarette is a triangular structure with an angle of 15°, which is used to disperse the cigarette packs to fill the white leaking from the belt. The two sets of brackets, one group is used to fix the cylinder, and the other group is used to fix the imaging device.

[0035] The present invention has a simple structure. The imaging device installed directly above the belt monitors the state of the material on the belt. The color difference principle is used to distinguish whether the yellow cigarette flakes on the white belt are unevenly stacked, resulting in the phenomenon of white leakage on the belt. If the belt is leaking white, a signal is transmitted to the PLC controller, and the PLC delays 25 seconds to transmit the signal to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve controls the cylinder to drive the palladium nail to descend to disperse the cigarette flakes to fill the white leakage section, thereby achieving the purpose of balanced flow. While improving the automation capability, the quality control level is also improved.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a first set of brackets is installed on the belt conveyor 2 meters away from the slicer blanking port for fixing the imaging device. The central axis of the image acquisition port is perpendicular to the belt conveyor belt. A second set of brackets is installed 50 cm behind the first set of brackets for fixing the cylinder. The ends of the cylinder lifting and retracting rods are connected to the two ends of the palladium nail fixing rod. The palladium nail is a composite structure composed of multiple nail teeth.

[0037] During the operation of the present invention, taking actual needs as an example, when the imaging device detects that the belt conveyor belt is leaking, a signal is sent to the PLC controller. After a delay of 25 seconds, the PLC controller transmits a signal to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve drives the cylinder telescopic rod to retract, driving the palladium nail to move downward, and utilizing its special structure to loosen the tobacco slices to fill the leaking section, thereby achieving the purpose of balancing the stacking of tobacco slices on the belt, and finally balancing the flow through the rear electronic scale.

[0038] By combining with actual production, the present invention can effectively achieve the purpose of balancing flow in actual production, and avoid manual operation, while eliminating the hidden dangers of human safety, and improving the homogenization level of the manufacturing process. By improving the automation processing capacity of the equipment, the labor intensity of the personnel is reduced, and the quality risk points are solved by the automation processing of the equipment. The palladium nail is a special structure designed independently, which can effectively achieve the purpose of loosening the tobacco flakes.

[0039] It should be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the non-limiting embodiments, and it should be understood that the non-limiting embodiments are only described as examples. The substantial protection scope required by this application is more embodied in the scope provided by the independent claims, as well as its dependent claims.
