[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tobacco equipment, and in particular to a method and system for positioning a horizontal carriage of a tobacco storage cabinet. Background Art

[0002] The storage equipment used in existing cigarette silk production lines is mainly storage cabinets, which are mainly used for storing materials, regulating the production of the entire line, and mixing materials from different production lines so that they can fully absorb the moisture and liquid applied to the materials in the previous process, balance the moisture content of the materials, and meet the process requirements.

[0003] Currently, tobacco cut materials are typically distributed to tobacco cut storage cabinets using a horizontal conveyor. This method involves the horizontal conveyor receiving instructions from the conveyor to locate a cabinet and then proceeding to the designated cabinet to distribute the tobacco. However, in practice, tobacco cut storage cabinets often experience blockages and breakages, severely impacting tobacco cut material production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of material blockage and material breakage in the existing silk storage cabinet during the material distribution process. The present invention provides a method and system for positioning a horizontal carriage of a silk storage cabinet, which can prevent the problems of material blockage and material breakage during the material distribution process of the silk storage cabinet.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for positioning a horizontal carriage of a silk-making storage cabinet, wherein there are two silk-making storage cabinets, and a horizontal carriage moves along a guide rail between the silk-making storage cabinets, wherein each silk-making storage cabinet is provided with a first detector and a second detector for controlling the horizontal carriage to lay material in the silk-making storage cabinet, and the first detector and the second detector are spaced apart along the guide rail; a triggering member for triggering the first detector and the second detector is provided on the horizontal carriage, and when the first detector is triggered, a first detection signal is emitted, and when the second detector is triggered, a second detection signal is emitted; the positioning method comprises:

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, after receiving the instruction to start weaving, the horizontal running machine moves in the direction of the silk storage cabinet selected in the instruction. At the same time, the position and movement area of ​​the horizontal running machine are determined by setting a first detector and a second detector in each silk storage cabinet. When the first detector and the second detector both detect the horizontal running machine, it means that the horizontal running machine can move back and forth between the first detector and the second detector. At this time, weaving is started, which can ensure that the horizontal running machine is weaving within the predetermined area, so that the material will not be scattered outside the weaving area, thereby preventing the occurrence of material blockage or material breakage.

[0032] The following is an explanation of the embodiments of the present invention by specific specific examples. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Although the description of the present invention will be introduced in conjunction with the preferred embodiment, this does not mean that the features of this invention are limited to this embodiment. On the contrary, the purpose of introducing the invention in conjunction with the embodiment is to cover other options or modifications that may be extended based on the claims of the present invention. In order to provide a deep understanding of the present invention, the following description will contain many specific details. The present invention can also be implemented without using these details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion or blurring the focus of the present invention, some specific details will be omitted in the description. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0033] It should be noted that in this specification, similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0034] In the description of this embodiment, it should be noted that the terms "left" and "right" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientations or positional relationships in which the inventive product is typically placed when in use. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. The terms "first" and "second" and the like are used solely for distinction and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The inventors studied the blocking and breaking phenomena that occurred during the tobacco dispensing process and found that the main causes of this phenomenon were the following two points:

[0037] 1) At the start of production, when the temporary storage cabinet 1# is at its limit position and is switched to cabinet 2#, or when cabinet 2# is at its limit position and is switched to cabinet 1#, the cabinet's horizontal runner positioning error often occurs, causing the horizontal runner to fail to enter the outside of the selected cabinet's vertical runner. However, at this time, the cabinet is determined to be positioned, so it needs to step forward multiple times, taking about 4 minutes to actually reach the outside of the selected cabinet's vertical runner. If tobacco is fed into the cabinet at this time, it will fall on the belly plate of the horizontal runner instead of the belt conveyor of the vertical runner, causing material blockage or even material breakage;

[0038] 2) During the production process, when a positioning proximity switch of the cabinet selected by the horizontal running machine fails or is damaged, the horizontal running machine will step to the limit position on the side where the proximity switch fails or is damaged, and continue to lay the material, causing blockage or even breakage of the material.

[0039] Furthermore, the inventors discovered that the above-mentioned problem arises because there is the following loophole in the control logic of the positioning of the cabinet in the horizontal moving machine: as long as the metal baffle on the horizontal moving machine blocks any proximity switch for the cabinet positioning, it will be judged that the cabinet has been positioned, and the next step will be to execute the stepping feeding of the horizontal moving machine; the stepping reversing of the horizontal moving machine is controlled by the positioning proximity switch of the selected cabinet, resulting in that once a positioning proximity switch corresponding to the selected cabinet fails or is damaged, the horizontal moving machine will step to the extreme position on the side where the proximity switch fails or is damaged, and continue to feed the material, thereby causing material blockage and breakage.

[0040] Based on the above analysis, one aspect of the present invention discloses a method for positioning a horizontal carriage of a silk storage cabinet. There are at least two silk storage cabinets, and a guide rail is provided between each adjacent silk storage cabinet. The horizontal carriage can move between the silk storage cabinets along the guide rail. Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two silk storage cabinets, namely a first silk storage cabinet 1 and a second silk storage cabinet 2. Figure 2 and Figure 3 (As shown in the X direction in the middle), a guide rail 5 is provided between the silk-making storage cabinets, and the transverse carriage 3 moves between the silk-making storage cabinets along the guide rail 5, wherein each silk-making storage cabinet is provided with a first detector and a second detector for controlling the transverse carriage 3 to lay materials in the silk-making storage cabinet, and the first detector and the second detector are arranged at intervals along the guide rail 5; a triggering member 4 for triggering the first detector and the second detector is provided on the transverse carriage 3.

[0041] Specifically, a first detector A11 and a second detector A12 are spaced apart along the guide rail 5 near the first silk-making storage cabinet 1, for controlling the movement of the horizontal carriage 3 between the first detector A11 and the second detector A12 when the first silk-making storage cabinet 1 is selected. A first detector B21 and a second detector B22 are spaced apart along the guide rail 5 near the second silk-making storage cabinet 2, for controlling the movement of the horizontal carriage 3 between the first detector B21 and the second detector B22 when the second silk-making storage cabinet 2 is selected. When a detector detects a trigger member 4 on the horizontal carriage 3, the detector emits a detection signal, indicating that the horizontal carriage 3 is at the position of the detector. More specifically, when the first detector detects the trigger member 4, a first detection signal is emitted, and when the second detector detects the trigger member 4, a second detection signal is emitted.

[0042] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the method for positioning the horizontal carriage of the silk storage cabinet includes the following steps:

[0043] Step S101: receiving a cloth instruction, wherein the cloth instruction includes the cabinet number of the silk making cabinet to be clothed.

[0044] Specifically, before starting to deliver the cloth to the silk-making storage cabinet, a cloth instruction is given, which includes instructing the horizontal carriage 3 to deliver the cloth to the cabinet number of the silk-making storage cabinet.

[0045] Step S102: According to the cloth instruction, the first detector and the second detector corresponding to the cloth-making storage cabinet are controlled to be turned on, and the transverse carriage 3 moves in the direction of the cloth-making storage cabinet.

[0046] Specifically, after receiving the cloth instruction, the horizontal carriage 3 moves toward the direction of the silk storage cabinet specified in the cloth instruction. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, if an instruction is given to cloth-feed the first silk storage cabinet 1, the first detector A11 and the second detector A12 are turned on, and the transverse carriage 3 runs to the right; if an instruction is given to cloth-feed the second silk storage cabinet 2, the first detector B11 and the second detector B12 are turned on, and the transverse carriage 3 runs to the left.

[0047] Step S103: Determine whether the first detection signal and the second detection signal are received. If yes, proceed to step S104; otherwise, proceed to step S107.

[0048] Step S104: After receiving the first detection signal and the second detection signal, the horizontal running car 3 starts to lay the material and moves back and forth in the predetermined area; wherein, during the laying process, if the first detection signal is received, the horizontal running car 3 moves toward the corresponding second detector; if the second detection signal is received, the horizontal running car 3 moves toward the corresponding first detector.

[0049] Specifically, if Figure 3As shown, the transverse vehicle 3 is located between the first detector A11 and the second detector A12. When the trigger member 4 of the transverse vehicle 3 triggers the first detector A11, the transverse vehicle 3 turns right, that is, the transverse vehicle 3 moves to the right when it moves to the position of the first detector A11. When the trigger member 4 of the transverse vehicle 3 triggers the second detector A12, the transverse vehicle 3 turns left, that is, the transverse vehicle 3 moves to the left when it moves to the position of the second detector A12. The first detector B21 and the second detector B22 have the same functions as the first detector A11 and the second detector A12, and will not be repeated here.

[0050] By adopting the above technical solution, after receiving the instruction to start weaving, the horizontal runner moves in the direction of the silk storage cabinet selected in the instruction. At the same time, the position and movement area of ​​the horizontal runner are determined by setting a first detector and a second detector in each silk storage cabinet. When the first detector and the second detector both detect the horizontal runner 3, it means that the horizontal runner 3 can move back and forth between the first detector and the second detector. At this time, weaving is started, which can ensure that the horizontal runner 3 lays material between the predetermined areas, so that the material will not be scattered outside the area where material can be laid, thereby preventing the occurrence of material blockage or material breakage.

[0051] Furthermore, the first detector and / or the second detector is a proximity switch, the trigger member 4 is a metal member, and the predetermined area is the area between the first detector and the second detector corresponding to the fabric-making cabinet. Specifically, for the first silk-making cabinet 1, the predetermined area is the first predetermined area A between the first detector A11 and the second detector A12; for the second silk-making cabinet 2, the predetermined area is the second predetermined area B between the first detector B21 and the second detector B22.

[0052] The positioning method of the horizontal running car 3 is described below by taking the horizontal running car 3 at different positions and giving different cloth instructions as examples.

[0053] Case 1:

[0054] Before the cloth is started, when the cloth is directed to the first silk making cabinet 1, the first detector A11 and the second detector A12 of the first silk making cabinet 1 are turned on, and the horizontal carriage 3 moves toward the first silk making cabinet 1. Figure 2 If the horizontal running car 3 is located outside the first predetermined area A, for example, the horizontal running car 3 is located Figure 2As shown in the figure, when the right end of the trigger member 4 of the horizontal running car 3 reaches the position of the first detector A11, the first detector A11 is triggered to send a first detection signal. At this time, the horizontal running car 3 continues to move to the right toward the second detector A12 until it reaches the position of the second detector A12, triggering the second detector A12 to send a second detection signal. After receiving the first detection signal and the second detection signal respectively, the horizontal running car 3 successfully finds the cabinet and the horizontal running car 3 starts to lay the material. In addition, the horizontal running car 3 turns left at the second detector A12, that is, moves to the left toward the first detector A11, until it moves to the first detector A11, and then turns right, that is, moves to the right. Therefore, the horizontal running car 3 can reciprocate within the first predetermined area A, thereby realizing the circulation of material within this area.

[0055] Case 2:

[0056] Before the cloth is started, when the cloth is directed to the first silk making cabinet 1, the first detector A11 and the second detector A12 of the first silk making cabinet 1 are turned on, and the horizontal carriage 3 moves toward the first silk making cabinet 1. Figure 3 If the horizontal car 3 is located between the first predetermined area A, for example, the horizontal car 3 is located Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when the right end of the trigger member 4 of the horizontal carriage 3 reaches the position of the second detector A12, the second detector A12 is triggered to send a second detection signal. At this time, the horizontal carriage 3 turns and moves leftward toward the first detector A11 until it reaches the position of the first detector A11, triggering the first detector A11 to send a first detection signal. After receiving the first detection signal and the second detection signal respectively, the horizontal carriage 3 successfully finds the cabinet and the horizontal carriage 3 begins to lay the material. In addition, at the first detector A11, the horizontal carriage 3 turns right, that is, moves rightward toward the second detector A12; until it moves to the left at the second detector A12, that is, moves to the left. Therefore, the horizontal carriage 3 can reciprocate within the first predetermined area A, thereby realizing the circulation of material within the area.

[0057] Case 3:

[0058] Before the cloth is started, when the instruction to the second silk making cabinet 2 is given, the first detector B21 and the second detector B22 of the second silk making cabinet 2 are turned on, and the horizontal carriage 3 moves toward the second silk making cabinet 2. Figure 3 If the horizontal running car 3 is located outside the second predetermined area B, for example, the horizontal running car 3 is located Figure 3When the left end of the trigger member 4 of the horizontal carriage 3 reaches the position of the second detector B22, the second detector B22 is triggered to emit a second detection signal. At this time, the horizontal carriage 3 continues to move leftward toward the first detector B21 until it reaches the position of the first detector B21, triggering the first detector B21 to emit a first detection signal. After receiving the first detection signal and the second detection signal respectively, the horizontal carriage 3 successfully finds the cabinet and the horizontal carriage 3 begins to lay the material. In addition, the horizontal carriage 3 turns right at the first detector B21, that is, moves rightward toward the second detector B22, until it moves to the second detector B22, at which point the horizontal carriage 3 turns left, that is, moves to the left. Therefore, the horizontal carriage 3 can reciprocate within the second predetermined area B, thereby realizing the circulation of material within this area.

[0059] Case 4:

[0060] Before the cloth is laid, after the instruction to lay the cloth to the second silk making cabinet 2 is given, the first detector B21 and the second detector B22 of the second silk making cabinet 2 are turned on, and the horizontal carriage 3 moves toward the second silk making cabinet 2. Figure 2 If the horizontal car 3 is located between the second predetermined area B, for example, the horizontal car 3 is located Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the left end of the trigger member 4 of the horizontal carriage 3 reaches the position of the first detector B21, the first detector B21 is triggered to emit a first detection signal. At this time, the horizontal carriage 3 turns and moves rightward toward the second detector B22 until it reaches the position of the second detector B22, triggering the second detector B22 to emit a second detection signal. After receiving the first detection signal and the second detection signal respectively, the horizontal carriage 3 successfully finds the cabinet and the horizontal carriage 3 begins to lay the material. In addition, at the second detector B22, the horizontal carriage 3 turns left, that is, moves leftward toward the first detector B21; until it moves to the right at the first detector B21, that is, moves rightward. Therefore, the horizontal carriage 3 can reciprocate within the second predetermined area B, thereby realizing the circulation of material within this area.

[0061] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, because the trigger member 4 is rectangular, when the horizontal runner 3 is located outside the first predetermined area A and the instruction to lay material is given to the first silk-making storage cabinet 1, the right end of the trigger member 4 is first detected by the first detector A11, which emits a first detection signal. If it is assumed that the horizontal runner 3 has successfully found the cabinet and started laying material at this time, in fact, the laying area of ​​the horizontal runner 3 is still outside the first predetermined area A. At this time, the material cannot enter the designated cabinet, which can easily cause material blockage and thus material breakage. Alternatively, if it is assumed that the horizontal runner 3 has successfully found the cabinet, it is necessary to wait until the horizontal runner 3 advances multiple steps until the left end of the trigger member 4 also enters the first predetermined area A. However, the speed of the horizontal runner 3 during the stepping process is slower than that during the cabinet search process. Therefore, this method is time-consuming and not conducive to improving production efficiency. However, the horizontal runner positioning method for silk-making storage cabinets provided in this embodiment does not encounter the above problems, can improve production efficiency, and can also circulate and evenly distribute material within the predetermined area.

[0062] Furthermore, the method for positioning the horizontal carriage 3 of the silk storage cabinet also includes:

[0063] Step S105: determining whether the horizontal running vehicle 3 has reached the limit position, and when the horizontal running vehicle 3 has reached the limit position, issuing a limit position turning signal;

[0064] Step S106: receiving the extreme position turning signal, the transverse vehicle 3 moves in the opposite direction and issues an alarm.

[0065] Furthermore, the limit positions include a first limit position and a second limit position provided at both ends of the guide rail 5 .

[0066] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first limit position detector 61 and a second limit position detector 62 are respectively provided at the first limit position and the second limit position at both ends of the guide rail 5, for limiting the horizontal carriage 3 on the guide rail 5. Optionally, the first limit position detector 61 and the second limit position detector 62 are proximity switches.

[0067] During the material distribution process, when the transverse carriage 3 moves to the first limit position of the guide rail 5, the trigger member 4 of the transverse carriage 3 triggers the first limit position detector 61, causing the transverse carriage 3 to stop moving to the left and then reverse to move to the right, while simultaneously issuing an alarm signal. When the transverse carriage 3 moves to the second limit position of the guide rail 5, the trigger member 4 of the transverse carriage 3 triggers the second limit position detector 62, causing the transverse carriage 3 to stop moving to the right and then reverse to move to the left, while simultaneously issuing an alarm signal. More specifically, when the first detector or the second detector fails or is damaged, the transverse carriage 3 moves to the limit position, where it reverses direction and does not remain at the limit position to distribute material, thereby avoiding material blockage or breakage. Furthermore, when the transverse carriage 3 reaches the limit position, an alarm signal is issued, prompting staff to check or replace the first detector or the second detector.

[0068] Step S107: Before starting to lay the material, if the first detection signal and / or the second detection signal is not received within a predetermined period, the horizontal carriage 3 stops running and issues an alarm.

[0069] In this embodiment, the predetermined period can be set to be slightly larger than 2 times the distance between the first detector and the second detector corresponding to the selected cabinet. Optionally, the predetermined period is 2 minutes.

[0070] Specifically, during the cabinet search process, or before starting to lay the cloth, if the first detector or the second detector fails or is damaged, the horizontal carriage 3 will not reverse at the first detector or the second detector position when moving toward the selected silk storage cabinet, but will continue to move until the limit position. The horizontal carriage 3 will reverse at the limit position and continue to move in the opposite direction. Therefore, if only the first detection signal or the second detection signal or neither is received within a predetermined period, the horizontal carriage 3 has not found the cabinet, the horizontal carriage 3 stops running, and an alarm is issued to prompt the staff to check or replace the first detector or the second detector.

[0071] The embodiment of the present invention further discloses a positioning system based on the above-mentioned method for positioning a horizontal carriage of a silk-making storage cabinet, wherein there are two silk-making storage cabinets, and a horizontal carriage 3 reciprocates between the silk-making storage cabinets along a guide rail 5, wherein each silk-making storage cabinet is provided with a first detector and a second detector for controlling the horizontal carriage 3 to lay materials in the silk-making storage cabinet, and the first detector and the second detector are arranged at intervals along the guide rail 5; a triggering member 4 for triggering the first detector and the second detector is provided on the horizontal carriage 3, and a first detection signal is sent when the first detector is triggered, and a second detection signal is sent when the second detector is triggered; as shown in FIG.

[0074] The second control module 203 is used to control the horizontal running car 3 to start laying materials and move back and forth in a predetermined area after receiving the first detection signal and the second detection signal; wherein, during the laying process, if the second control module 203 receives the first detection signal, the horizontal running car 3 moves toward the corresponding second detector; if the second control module 203 receives the second detection signal, the horizontal running car 3 moves toward the corresponding first detector.

[0078] The alarm module is used to receive extreme position steering signals and issue an alarm.

[0079] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the second control module 203 is also used to control the horizontal carriage 3 to stop running and control the alarm module to sound an alarm before starting to lay the material if the first detection signal or the second detection signal is not received within a predetermined period.

After receiving the first detection signal of the first detector and the second detection signal of the second detector of the selected silk-making storage cabinet respectively, it can be determined that the horizontal runner is between the two detectors, and then the laying is started, which can ensure that the horizontal runner lays materials within the predetermined area, thereby preventing the material from being laid outside the designated area and causing blockage or breakage.
