[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the tobacco supply system includes: a tobacco storage cabinet, tobacco conveying equipment, an electronic belt scale and a reciprocating material distribution trolley;

[0049] The cut tobacco conveying equipment transports finished cut tobacco from the cut tobacco storage cabinets to the automatic case packing system. A reciprocating material distribution trolley delivers the finished cut tobacco to the multiple case packing stations of the automatic case packing system. The weight of each case and the material flow of the cut tobacco supply system are controlled by an electronic belt scale. By setting the control parameters of the electronic belt scale, two filling and pre-pressing stations are alternately fed with a fixed quantity of cut tobacco, ensuring the accuracy of the packing weight of each cut tobacco box. To ensure flexibility in cigarette production scheduling at the cut tobacco exporting factory, the cut tobacco supply system utilizes a process design where finished cut tobacco is first buffered in the cut tobacco storage cabinets and then delivered to the automatic case packing system as needed. The cut tobacco exporting factory rationally allocates designated cut tobacco storage cabinets for off-site supply based on demand. During production, production tasks are rationally scheduled for each production line. When the cut tobacco exporting factory has sufficient cut tobacco for its own use, it produces cut tobacco for export.

That is, when one station is packing tobacco, other stations are performing pre-pressing and pressure-maintaining operations on the tobacco. The time of the multiple stations' pre-pressing operations during packing and pre-pressing is complementary to ensure the continuity of the tobacco input to the tobacco supply system. During the operation of multiple stations, tobacco filling and pre-pressing are completed at one time, thereby improving the packing efficiency of the automatic packing system. The actual packing weight in the tobacco box is obtained by calculation after being weighed by the empty tobacco box weighing equipment and the first full tobacco box weighing equipment, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the actual weight in the tobacco box.

[0061] Specific process:

[0062] Packing and warehousing process:

[0063] During the operation process, the tobacco exporting factory issues a tobacco splicing order for the day based on the shipping plan. Once the order is initiated, the tobacco supply system, according to the order instructions, transports the finished tobacco from the designated finished tobacco storage cabinets through tobacco conveying equipment, electronic belt scales, and reciprocating distribution carts to the automatic case packing system. The electronic belt scales are used to set the tobacco flow rate and single-box packing weight, while the reciprocating distribution carts are used to load tobacco into multiple case packing stations. After receiving the shipping order, the tobacco box storage and logistics system of the exporting factory continuously outputs empty tobacco box stacks from the first tobacco box storage and turnover warehouse. The tobacco box depalletizing equipment then separates the empty tobacco boxes into individual boxes and transports them to the automatic case packing system. The automatic packing system receives a single empty tobacco box, clears the RFID chip information at the bottom of the empty tobacco box through the first RFID information reading and writing device, removes the (6) empty tobacco box cover through the automatic tobacco box cover removal device, performs internal cleanliness detection and cleaning of the empty tobacco box through the empty tobacco box internal cleanliness detection and cleaning device, weighs the empty tobacco box through the empty tobacco box weighing device, performs finished tobacco box pre-pressing through the tobacco box pre-pressing device, and completes the real tobacco box weighing after the finished tobacco box pre-pressing is completed. The weight of the packed tobacco in the real tobacco box is calculated by reverse calculation, and the real tobacco box is covered by the automatic tobacco box cover removal device. The first RFID information reading and writing device writes the real tobacco box packing weight, batch number, brand number, packing time and other information into the RFID chip at the bottom of the real tobacco box, and then transports it to the tobacco box storage and logistics system of the output factory. The tobacco box storage logistics system of the output factory receives the real tobacco boxes output by the automatic packing system, and after the tobacco box destacking equipment completes the double-layer (6) tobacco box stacking, it is transported to the first tobacco box storage turnover warehouse via the first elevator, and the packing and warehousing operation is completed.

[0064] Loading and unloading operations at the output plant:

[0065] During the operation, a dedicated logistics vehicle loaded with empty tobacco boxes from the tobacco import plant connects to the export plant's automatic loading and unloading system. The empty tobacco boxes are then transported by the export plant's automatic loading and unloading system to the export plant's tobacco box storage and logistics system for loading by the automatic box packing system. After unloading, the tobacco export plant issues a tobacco export work order for the day based on the export plan. Once the export work order is initiated, the export plant's tobacco box storage and logistics system, in accordance with the work order instructions, transports the designated full tobacco boxes to the export plant's automatic loading and unloading system. The export plant's automatic loading and unloading system then automatically loads the received full tobacco boxes onto a dedicated logistics vehicle, which then transports them to the tobacco import plant, completing the import plant's loading and unloading operations.

[0066] Input plant loading and unloading operations:

[0067] During the operation, a dedicated logistics vehicle loaded with stacks of actual tobacco boxes from the tobacco export plant docks with the automatic loading and unloading vehicle system of the import plant. The stacks are then transported to the tobacco box storage and logistics system of the import plant via the automatic loading and unloading vehicle system of the import plant. After the tobacco box storage and logistics system of the import plant receives the stacks, the second RFID information reading and writing device reads the RFID information at the bottom of the stacks, and the second actual tobacco box weighing device re-weighs the stacks before transporting them to the second tobacco box storage and turnover warehouse. After unloading, the tobacco box storage and logistics system of the import plant transports the empty tobacco boxes to the automatic loading and unloading vehicle system of the import plant. The automatic loading and unloading vehicle system of the import plant loads the received empty tobacco boxes onto a dedicated logistics vehicle and transports them to the tobacco export plant, completing the loading and unloading operation of the import plant.

[0068] Outbound box turning operation

[0069] During the working process, the tobacco input factory issues the tobacco outbound work order for the day based on the cigarette production work plan of the day through the supporting information system. After the outbound work order is started, the input factory's tobacco box storage and logistics system will output the prepared real tobacco box stacks to the box turning and feeding system according to the work order instructions. The box turning and feeding system receives the real tobacco box stacks. After the industrial robot completes the destacking and removal of the real tobacco box stacks, the finished tobacco in the real tobacco box is turned over to the feeder. The finished tobacco is sent to the tobacco input factory's packaging workshop through the feeder and the wire feeding tube for finished cigarette production. The empty tobacco box after turning the box is cleaned by the tobacco box cleaning equipment and then transported to the input factory's tobacco box storage and logistics system, and the outbound box turning operation is completed.

[0070] In summary, based on actual production needs, by fully utilizing advanced technologies and equipment from the tobacco and logistics industries and adhering to relevant technical standards for cigarette production, a rationally designed process flow allows for large-scale production of finished tobacco cuts at the exporting plant. This system automatically completes processes such as unloading, pre-pressing and packing, storage, turnover, and loading and unloading. After being transported to the importing plant by dedicated logistics vehicles, the system automatically completes processes such as loading and unloading, storage, turnover, and box feeding before the finished cigarette rolling process begins. This system can effectively improve resource intensiveness and product homogenization in cigarette production enterprises.
