Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigarette production and testing technology, and in particular to an intelligent online sampling and testing system and method. Background Technology

[0002] In general, cigarette production requires online testing of cigarettes produced online. This involves sampling cigarettes from the production line and transferring them to a comprehensive testing platform for testing. Currently, there are two methods for online sampling testing: manual sampling and automatic sampling. Manual sampling requires personnel to manually retrieve samples from the production line and then place them on the comprehensive testing platform. This method increases labor costs, and manual sampling can also cause varying degrees of compression on the samples, altering their physical properties and affecting test results. Automatic sampling requires placing the comprehensive testing platform near the production line, and each production line needs to be equipped with a dedicated automatic sampling device and material handling equipment—a dedicated line—to achieve automatic sampling and testing of a single sample along a fixed route. This method has poor flexibility, low efficiency, and high cost.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0030] According to the intelligent online sampling and testing method provided by the present invention, the sampling and testing requirement information includes the characteristic information of the sample to be tested, the quantity information of the sample to be tested, and the physical parameter information to be tested.

[0031] When the intelligent online sampling and testing system includes multiple online sampling and storage devices corresponding one-to-one with multiple production lines, step S1 includes the following steps:

[0032] The intelligent scheduling system acquires the feature information of the sample to be tested, the quantity information of the sample to be tested, and the status information of each online sampling and storage device. Based on the feature information and quantity information of the sample to be tested and the status information of each online sampling and storage device, the system designates the online sampling and storage device and sends a sampling instruction to the designated online sampling and storage device.

[0037] Step S6 includes the following steps:

[0038] The integrated testing platform receives the material receiving instruction, the physical parameter information to be tested, and the sample information to be tested. It performs the material receiving operation according to the material receiving instruction. After the material receiving is completed, it selects the corresponding physical parameter detection mode according to the physical parameter information to be tested and the sample information to be tested to perform the detection operation. When the detection operation is completed, it sends a test completion signal to the intelligent scheduling system.

[0039] According to the intelligent online sampling test method provided by the present invention, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0040] The intelligent sample delivery device receives the material retrieval instruction sequence, arranges a running route according to the material retrieval instruction sequence, and runs to the designated fixed position of the online sampling and storage device to retrieve the material according to the running route. After the material retrieval is completed, it runs to the designated fixed position of the integrated testing platform and sends a position signal to the intelligent scheduling system.

[0041] The route is generated by the navigation sensor on the intelligent sample delivery device based on the designated location of the online sampling and storage device, the designated location of the integrated testing platform, and a preset path strategy.

[0042] The above-described technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0043] The intelligent online sampling and testing system and method of this invention, by setting up an intelligent scheduling system and a comprehensive test bench, an intelligent sample delivery device, and an online sampling and storage device connected to the intelligent scheduling system network, allows the intelligent scheduling system to flexibly schedule the online sampling and storage device for sampling, the intelligent sample delivery device for sample delivery, and the comprehensive test bench for testing different physical parameters according to sampling and testing needs. This flexible approach is not dependent on fixed pipelines or equipment, and can dynamically allocate the various online sampling and storage devices and intelligent sample delivery devices to maximize their efficiency, thereby improving work efficiency and saving costs. Furthermore, the comprehensive test bench does not need to be fixed on the production line but can be installed anywhere in the workshop, saving production line space. Attached Figure Description

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides an intelligent online sampling and testing system, including a comprehensive testing platform 100, an intelligent sample delivery device 200, an online sampling and storage device 300, and an intelligent scheduling system 400, wherein the comprehensive testing platform 100, the intelligent sample delivery device 200, and the online sampling and storage device 300 are all network connected to the intelligent scheduling system 400.

[0055] Among them, the intelligent scheduling system 400 is responsible for the scheduling of the entire system. The intelligent scheduling system 400 is configured to send corresponding instructions to the integrated test bench 100, the intelligent sample delivery device 200 and the online sampling and storage device 300 according to the sampling and testing requirements, and to receive feedback signals sent by the integrated test bench 100, the intelligent sample delivery device 200 and the online sampling and storage device 300.

[0056] The online sampling and storage device 300 can take samples from the packaging machine production line or the filter rod forming machine production line according to the set sampling frequency and quantity requirements, based on the instructions of the intelligent scheduling system 400. Specifically, the online sampling and storage device 300 is configured to: take samples on the production line and store the samples according to the sampling instructions sent by the intelligent scheduling system 400; and send a sampling and storage completion signal to the intelligent scheduling system 400 after the sampling and storage operation is completed.

[0057] The intelligent sample delivery device 200 is used to shuttle between the online sampling and storage device 300 and the integrated testing platform 100 according to the instructions of the intelligent scheduling system 400, thereby transporting the samples on the online sampling and storage device 300 to the integrated testing platform 100 for testing. Specifically, the intelligent sample delivery device 200 is configured to: run to the designated fixed position of the online sampling and storage device 300 according to the material retrieval instruction sequence sent by the intelligent scheduling system 400, retrieve the material, and after retrieval, run to the designated fixed position of the integrated testing platform 100 and send a position signal to the intelligent scheduling system 400.

[0058] The integrated testing station 100 can be a multi-functional testing station capable of detecting multiple physical parameters of a sample; alternatively, it can be a testing station with a specific function to detect a specific physical parameter of a sample. Specifically, the integrated testing station 100 is configured to perform material receiving and testing operations based on the material receiving instructions and sample information sent by the intelligent scheduling system 400, and to send a test completion signal to the intelligent scheduling system 400 upon completion of the testing operation.

[0059] It is understood that in the intelligent online sampling test system of this embodiment, the comprehensive test bench 100 can be one or more units, the intelligent sample delivery device 200 can be one or more units, and the online sampling storage device 300 can be one or more units, which can be configured according to the actual situation and needs.

[0060] In this embodiment, the intelligent scheduling system can flexibly schedule the online sampling and storage device, the intelligent sample delivery device, and the integrated testing platform to perform sampling, delivery, and testing according to the sampling and testing requirements. Therefore, compared with the traditional automatic sampling and testing method, the intelligent online sampling and testing system of this embodiment is more flexible in its use, does not rely on fixed pipelines and fixed equipment, and can dynamically allocate each online sampling and storage device and intelligent sample delivery device to maximize their efficiency, thereby improving work efficiency and saving costs.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The intelligent online sampling and testing system may include multiple online sampling and storage devices 300, each corresponding to a different production line 500 (a roll wrapping machine production line or a filter rod forming machine production line), and all online sampling and storage devices 300 are connected to the intelligent scheduling system 400 via a network.

[0062] The sampling and testing requirements include the characteristic information and quantity information of the samples to be tested. The characteristic information of the samples to be tested includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: model, specifications, and dimensions. The characteristic information of samples from multiple production lines may be the same or different, depending on the manufacturing needs of each production line. The quantity information of the samples to be tested may refer to the total number of samples required for the same batch of testing, the total number of samples required for multiple batches of testing, or the total number of samples required for testing within a certain time period.

[0063] The intelligent scheduling system 400 is also configured to send sampling instructions to the corresponding online sampling and storage device 300 based on the characteristic information of the sample to be tested, the quantity information of the sample to be tested, and the status information of each online sampling and storage device 300.

[0064] The online sampling and storage device 300 is configured to: take samples on the production line and store the samples according to the sampling instructions sent by the intelligent scheduling system 400; send a sampling and storage completion signal to the intelligent scheduling system 400 after the sampling and storage operation is completed; and send a material retrieval completion signal to the intelligent scheduling system 400 after the intelligent sample delivery device 200 has finished retrieval.

[0065] It should be noted that the status information of the online sampling and storage device 300 includes sampling and storage status and idle waiting status. Sampling and storage status refers to the state where the online sampling and storage device 300 is performing sampling and storage operations or where the sample storage capacity on the online sampling and storage device 300 has reached its maximum capacity; idle waiting status refers to the state where the online sampling and storage device 300 is not performing sampling operations and is not yet full of samples.

[0066] The characteristic information and quantity information of the samples to be tested can be input by personnel into the intelligent online sampling and testing system according to actual testing needs, and then retrieved by the intelligent scheduling system 400. The intelligent scheduling system 400 can determine the status information of each online sampling and storage device 300 by sending sampling instructions to each online sampling and storage device 300 and receiving sampling completion signals. For example, if the intelligent scheduling system 400 sends a sampling instruction to an online sampling and storage device 300, but does not receive a sampling completion signal from that online sampling and storage device 300, it indicates that the online sampling and storage device 300 is in the sampling and storage state; if it receives a sampling completion signal from the online sampling and storage device 300, it indicates that the online sampling and storage device 300 is in the idle waiting state.

[0067] In this way, when a sampling test request arises, the intelligent scheduling system 400 can prioritize calling the online sampling storage device 300 that matches the sampling test request and is in an idle waiting state for sampling. Furthermore, it can schedule a corresponding number of online sampling storage devices 300 to sample simultaneously based on the required number of samples to be tested. This maximizes the efficiency of each online sampling storage device 300, improves work efficiency, and reduces process time.

[0068] Furthermore, the intelligent online sampling test system also includes a memory, which is coupled to the intelligent scheduling system 400, and stores the maximum storage capacity of each online sampling storage device 300.

[0069] When the characteristic information of samples corresponding to different production lines 500 is the same, that is, when the samples on each production line 500 are all the same samples, the intelligent scheduling system 400 is also configured to: after receiving the characteristic information and quantity information of the sample to be tested, obtain the status information, maximum storage capacity and actual storage capacity of each online sampling storage device 300, specify the corresponding online sampling storage device 300 according to the quantity information of the sample to be tested, the status information, maximum storage capacity and actual storage capacity of each online sampling storage device 300, and send a sampling instruction to the specified online sampling storage device 300.

[0070] It should be noted that the material retrieval instruction sequence sent by the intelligent scheduling system 400 to the intelligent sample delivery device 200 includes the material retrieval quantity information from each online sampling storage device 300. Therefore, the intelligent scheduling system 400 can determine the actual storage capacity of an online sampling storage device 300 after retrieval based on its maximum storage capacity and the corresponding material retrieval quantity from that online sampling storage device 300 by the intelligent sample delivery device 200. Similarly, the sampling instructions sent by the intelligent scheduling system 400 to each online sampling storage device 300 include sampling quantity information.

[0071] When the characteristic information of samples corresponding to different production lines 500 is different, the memory also stores the mapping relationship between the characteristic information of each online sampling storage device 300 and the sample. For example, the mapping relationship can be that the sample on the production line where the first online sampling storage device 300 is located is a sample of the first type, the sample on the production line where the second online sampling storage device 300 is located is a sample of the second type, and so on, until the sample on the production line where the Nth online sampling storage device 300 is located is a sample of the Nth type.

[0072] At this time, the intelligent scheduling system 400 is also configured to: after receiving the feature information and quantity information of the sample to be tested, obtain the status information of each online sampling storage device 300 and the mapping relationship between each online sampling storage device 300 and the feature information of the sample, specify the corresponding online sampling storage device 300 according to the quantity information of the sample to be tested, the status information of each online sampling storage device 300 and the mapping relationship, and send a sampling instruction to the specified online sampling storage device 300.

[0073] Similarly, the intelligent scheduling system 400 can also specify the corresponding online sampling storage device 300 by combining the maximum storage capacity and actual storage capacity of each online sampling storage device 300, which will not be elaborated here.

[0074] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the intelligent online sampling test system may include multiple integrated test benches 100, all of which are connected to the intelligent scheduling system 400 via a network. Each integrated test bench 100 can be used to test a variety of different physical parameters.

[0075] The sampling and testing requirements also include information on the physical parameters to be tested. The intelligent scheduling system 400 is also configured to: receive the information on the physical parameters to be tested, obtain the status information of each integrated testing station 100, and send a receiving instruction, sample information, and physical parameter information to the designated integrated testing station 100 based on the information on the physical parameters to be tested and the status information of each integrated testing station 100.

[0076] It should be noted that the physical parameters to be tested can be input by personnel into the intelligent online sampling and testing system according to actual testing needs, and then retrieved by the intelligent scheduling system 400. The status information of the integrated testing station 100 includes the material receiving and detection status and the detection completion status. The intelligent scheduling system 400 can determine the status information of each integrated testing station 100 by sending material receiving instructions to each station and receiving test completion signals. For example, if the intelligent scheduling system 400 sends a material receiving instruction to an integrated testing station 100 but does not receive a test completion signal from that station, it indicates that the station is in the material receiving and detection status; if it receives a test completion signal from the station, it indicates that the station is in the detection completion status.

[0077] Each integrated test bench 100 is also configured to: perform material receiving operations according to the received material receiving instructions; and after the material receiving is completed, select the corresponding physical parameter detection mode to perform detection operations on the sample to be tested according to the physical parameter information to be tested and the sample information to be tested sent by the intelligent scheduling system 400.

[0078] In this way, the intelligent scheduling system 400 can prioritize the use of integrated test benches 100 that are in the testing completed state, and can schedule a corresponding number of integrated test benches 100 to perform online testing simultaneously based on the required number of samples to be tested. This maximizes the efficiency of each integrated test bench 100, improves work efficiency, and reduces process time.

[0079] Furthermore, the intelligent online sampling and testing system includes multiple intelligent sample delivery devices 200, all of which are network-connected to the intelligent scheduling system 400.

[0080] The intelligent scheduling system 400 is also configured to: receive the sampling and storage completion signal, obtain the status information of each intelligent sample delivery device 200, designate the corresponding intelligent sample delivery device 200 according to the sampling and storage completion signal and the status information of each intelligent sample delivery device 200, and send a material picking instruction sequence to the designated intelligent sample delivery device 200.

[0081] Each intelligent sample delivery device 200 is configured to: upon receiving a material retrieval instruction sequence sent by the intelligent scheduling system 400, arrange a running route according to the material retrieval instruction sequence, and run to the designated fixed position of the online sampling and storage device 300 to retrieve the material. After the material retrieval is completed, it runs to the designated fixed position of the integrated testing platform 100 and sends a position signal to the intelligent scheduling system 400.

[0082] The intelligent sample delivery device 200 runs to the designated location of the integrated testing platform 100. After the integrated testing platform 100 completes the material receiving operation, the intelligent sample delivery device 200 sends a delivery completion signal to the intelligent scheduling system 400 and waits for the next round of scheduling.

[0083] It should be noted that the status information of the intelligent sample delivery device 200 includes delivery status and delivery completion status. The intelligent scheduling system 400 can determine the status information of each intelligent sample delivery device 200 by sending a sequence of picking instructions to each intelligent sample delivery device 200 and receiving a delivery completion signal. For example, if the intelligent scheduling system 400 sends a sequence of picking instructions to an intelligent sample delivery device 200 but does not receive a delivery completion signal from that intelligent sample delivery device 200, it indicates that the intelligent sample delivery device 200 is in the delivery status; if it receives a delivery completion signal from that intelligent sample delivery device 200, it indicates that the intelligent sample delivery device 200 is in the delivery completion status.

[0084] The intelligent online sampling test system of this embodiment operates in modes including but not limited to the following two modes:

[0085] Single-host mode: For projects with strict cost requirements, one integrated testing station 100 can correspond to one or more intelligent sample delivery devices 200. This mode is lower in cost and saves manpower.

[0086] Multi-host mode: Multiple integrated test benches 100 correspond to one or more intelligent sample delivery devices 200. This mode offers high efficiency, fast speed, and good system response.

[0087] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the online sampling and storage device in the intelligent online sampling and testing system provided in this embodiment of the invention. A detailed description is given using the sampling and testing of cigarette products as an example. The online sampling and storage device 300 is suitable for being configured on one side of a cigarette production line and includes a sampling component 1, a transport component 2, a storage component 3, and an unloading component 4. The transport component 2 has a hopper 21 suitable for storing materials, and the hopper 21 can move along a first direction D. x The hopper 21 can operate in both a first and a second position; the sampling component 1 is located on the side closer to the first position, and the sampling component 1 can operate along the second direction D. zThe device operates in a reciprocating motion, and the sampling component 1 can grab materials into the conveying hopper 21; the storage component 3 is located below the conveying component 2 and between the first and second positions, and the storage component 3 has multiple storage hoppers 32, which can transfer materials from the conveying hopper 21 to the storage hoppers 32; the unloading component 4 cooperates with the storage hoppers 32 and is adapted to unload the materials from the storage hoppers 32 into the intelligent sample delivery device; wherein, the first direction D x With the second direction D z vertical.

[0088] The sampling component 1 is positioned on one side of the cigarette production line, with the sampling execution end of the sampling component 1 located above the cigarette production line. Thus, the sampling component 1 is positioned in the second direction D. z The reciprocating motion enables the transfer of cigarettes from the cigarette production line to the conveyor hopper 21. This method allows for rapid sampling of single cigarettes or batches. After the cigarettes are loaded into the conveyor hopper 21, they can move along the first direction D. x The material is transported from the conveying hopper 21 to the storage component 3 via a reciprocating motion. This reciprocating motion transfers the material from the conveying hopper 21 to the storage hopper 32 in the storage component 3. The storage component 3 has multiple storage hoppers 32, which can store the material in the conveying hopper 21 separately.

[0089] The first position is the cigarette loading position where the hopper 21 is used in conjunction with the sampling component 1 to load cigarettes, and the second position is the empty position where the cigarettes are transferred from the hopper 21.

[0090] Specifically, in the first direction D x The first direction is the planar direction, and the second direction is D. z The sampling component 1 is positioned vertically above the cigarette production line. The vertical movement of the sampling execution end on the sampling component 1 vertically moves the cigarettes in the production line, lifting them into the conveying hopper 21. The conveying hopper 21 changes its planar position through planar movement. When the planar position changes, the cigarettes in the conveying hopper 21 are transported to the storage component 3. The conveying hopper 21 is in a first position when it is closer to the sampling component 1, and in a second position when it is closer to the storage component 3. The conveying hopper 21 can reciprocate between the first and second positions, and the cigarettes can be transferred to the storage hopper 32 during this process, thus transferring the cigarettes from the conveying hopper 21 to the storage hopper 32.

[0091] In some embodiments, the storage component 3 further includes a mounting plate 34, a transmission mechanism 31, and a transmission motor. The transmission mechanism 31 is mounted on the mounting plate 34, and the transmission motor is adapted to drive the transmission mechanism 31 to run in a preset direction. Multiple storage hoppers 32 are spaced apart on the transmission mechanism 31. The mounting plate 34 is also provided with a discharge baffle 33, which is located on the moving path of the conveying hopper 21. The discharge baffle 33 is matched with the bearing surface contour of the conveying hopper 21 so that the material in the conveying hopper 21 is blocked and transferred to the storage hopper 32 by the discharge baffle 33.

[0092] In a specific example, the conveying mechanism 31 includes a pulley 311 and a timing belt 312. The pulley 311 is mounted on the mounting plate 34, the timing belt 312 is mounted on the pulley 311, and the storage hopper 32 is mounted on the timing belt 312. The storage hoppers 32 can reach their respective preset positions as the conveying belt rotates, ensuring that at least one storage hopper 32 always cooperates with the discharge baffle 33 to transfer materials from the conveying hopper 21.

[0093] In some embodiments, the sampling assembly 1 includes a sampling motor 11, a guide rail 12, and a sampler 13, with the guide rail 12 along a second direction D. z Furthermore, the sampling motor 11 is adapted to drive the sampler 13 to reciprocate on the guide rail 12.

[0094] The sampler 13 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 12, so that the sampling motor 11 can drive the sampler 13 to move along the guide rail 12, thereby realizing the sampler 13 moving along the second direction D. z Reciprocating motion. Specifically, in the second direction D. z The guide rail 12 is set vertically, so that the sampler 13 can perform a reciprocating operation of lifting and lowering along the guide rail 12 in the vertical direction, so as to move the cigarettes in the cigarette production line to the conveying hopper 21.

[0095] Furthermore, the transport component 2 includes a first telescopic component 22, and the hopper 21 is located at the output end of the first telescopic component 22.

[0096] The first telescopic component 22 is a cylinder with a long-stroke slide, such as a rodless cylinder. The first telescopic component 22 serves as a component supporting the conveying hopper 21. It can be supported and fixed by an external fixing frame (not shown in the figure). The conveying hopper 21 is connected to the output end of the first telescopic component 22 by bolts, and the free side of the conveying hopper 21 is arranged opposite to the free side of the storage hopper 32 to ensure that the conveying hopper 21 will not interfere with the storage hopper 32 during movement, which facilitates the transfer of cigarettes in the conveying hopper 21.

[0097] In some embodiments, the unloading assembly 4 includes a second telescopic component 42 and a pusher plate 41. The pusher plate 41 is disposed on the output end of the second telescopic component 42 and cooperates with the storage hopper 32 so that the pusher plate 41 can push the material in the storage hopper 32 into the intelligent sample delivery device. The selection of the second telescopic component 42 is not limited; for example, it can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric drive mechanism to realize the extension and retraction of its pusher plate 41.

[0098] The push plate 41 and the bearing surface contour of the storage hopper 32 are matched so that the push plate 41 can move along the extension direction of the storage hopper 32 under the drive of power, so as to push the cigarettes in the storage hopper 32 down and allow the cigarettes to enter the intelligent sample delivery device.

[0099] The specific workflow of the online sampling and storage device will be described below based on the above embodiments.

[0100] (1) Initially, the sampler 13 is located at the top, the conveying hopper 21 is located in the first position, and all the storage hoppers 32 are empty.

[0101] (2) After startup, the sampler 13 descends to the cigarette production line to grab one, several, or a batch of cigarettes, then rises to the top to wait. The conveying hopper 21 moves to the second position and stops directly below the sampler 13. The sampler 13 releases the grabbed cigarettes, causing them to fall into the conveying hopper 21. The conveying hopper 21 moves to the second position, and when it passes the storage hopper 32, the cigarettes are blocked by the unloading baffle 33 and remain in the storage hopper 32. The storage hopper 32 moves down one position, and another empty storage hopper 32 moves to the top. It then waits for the next cigarette grabbing, conveying, and storage cycle.

[0102] (3) When the intelligent sample delivery device arrives, the cigarettes in the lower storage hopper 32 are pushed into the intelligent sample delivery device by the push plate 41 driven by the second telescopic component 42, so as to realize intelligent material retrieval.

[0103] The following is combined Figures 4 to 5 This invention describes an intelligent sample delivery device provided in one embodiment.

[0104] like Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent sample delivery device provided in this embodiment of the invention includes: a device body 5, a motion mechanism 6, and a sampling mechanism 7. The device body 5 is the main part of the entire intelligent sample delivery device. The motion mechanism 6 is located at the bottom of the device body 5 and can be a trolley used to drive the entire intelligent sample delivery device to move. The sampling mechanism 7 is located on the device body 5 and is used to cooperate with the motion mechanism 6 to complete sampling and delivery.

[0105] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the sampling mechanism 7 includes a rotating disk 71, a buffer slot 72, a pusher 73, a first drive 74, a second drive 75, and a third drive 76. The buffer slot 72 is used to store the sample collected. The rotating disk 71 includes a fixed disk 711 and a turntable 712 rotatable relative to the fixed disk 711. Both the fixed disk 711 and the turntable 712 are mounted on the main body 5 of the device. The buffer slot 72 is mounted on the turntable 712. The first drive 74 is driven by the turntable 712 and the fixed disk 711, and is used to drive the turntable 712, the fixed disk 711, and the buffer slot 72 to move vertically. The second drive 75 is driven by the turntable 712, and is used to drive the turntable 712 to rotate relative to the fixed disk 711. The pusher 73 is mounted on the fixed disk 711, and the third drive 76 is driven by the pusher 73, and is used to control the movement of the pusher 73 in the buffer slot 72.

[0106] The specific workflow of the intelligent sample delivery device is as follows:

[0107] The motion mechanism 6 is responsible for driving the entire intelligent sample delivery device to move. At the same time, the motion mechanism 6 can go to the charging positioning point to charge. After receiving the work task, it will travel back and forth between the online sampling and storage device and the integrated test platform to collect and deliver samples. It will stop running after reaching any positioning point corresponding to the online sampling and storage device and the integrated test platform.

[0108] During sampling, driven by the motion mechanism 6, the intelligent sample delivery device reaches the positioning point corresponding to the online sampling and storage device. After the motion mechanism 6 precisely positions the intelligent sample delivery device to the positioning point, the first driving component 74 drives the turntable 712, the fixed plate 711, and the buffer slot 72 to move vertically, aligning the buffer slot 72 with the storage hopper of the online sampling and storage device. After alignment, the online sampling and storage device delivers the sample into the buffer slot 72. If further sampling is needed (assuming multiple buffer slots are provided), the second driving component 75 drives the turntable 712 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 711, causing the buffer slot 72 without a sample to switch to the sampling position for the next set of sampling. Once multiple buffer slots 72 are full, sampling stops, and the device prepares to move to the positioning point on the integrated testing platform. The intelligent sample delivery device can fill one online sampling point at once, fill multiple online sampling points, or not fill them completely; it can deliver samples to the positioning point on the integrated testing platform as soon as it receives an instruction.

[0109] During delivery, the intelligent sample delivery device reaches the positioning point of the integrated testing platform. The motion mechanism 6 precisely positions the intelligent sample delivery device to the positioning point. The first driving component 74 drives the turntable 712, the fixed plate 711, and the buffer slot 72 to move vertically, so that the buffer slot 72 aligns with the integrated testing platform. After alignment, the third driving component 76 controls the pusher 73 to move in the buffer slot 72, pushing the sample to the integrated testing platform. The integrated testing platform has one or more buffer hoppers. If more samples need to be delivered (assuming there are multiple buffer slots), the second driving component 75 drives the turntable 712 to rotate relative to the fixed plate 711, so that the buffer slot 72 with the sample is switched to the delivery position for the next set of samples. After all the buffer slots 72 have been delivered, the sample delivery will stop and wait for the intelligent scheduling system to schedule.

[0110] The intelligent sample delivery device of the present invention is applicable to flexible working conditions and does not rely on fixed pipelines and fixed equipment. The integrated testing station does not need to be installed on the production line for automatic sampling, but can be installed at any location in the workshop, which not only saves manpower, but also reduces sample damage and completes sample quality control.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the main body 5 of the device includes a housing 51, a base plate 52, and a fixing plate 53. The housing 51 has a receiving cavity, and the fixing plate 53 is fixed in the receiving cavity. One side of the housing 51 has an opening communicating with the receiving cavity. The base plate 52 is disposed at the opening, and a rotating disk 71 is disposed on the base plate 52; that is, both the fixing disk 711 and the rotating disk 712 are disposed on the base plate 52. The first driving member 74 includes a lead screw 741, a lead screw motor 742, and a lifting plate 743. The lead screw motor 742 is disposed on the fixing plate 53, and the rotating end of the lead screw motor 742 is connected to the lead screw 741. The lifting plate 743 is movably disposed on the lead screw 741, and the end of the lifting plate 743 away from the lead screw 741 abuts against the base plate 52.

[0112] In this embodiment, the lifting plate 743 is provided with an internal thread that matches the lead screw 741. During operation, the lead screw motor 742 can drive the lead screw 741 to rotate, and the lifting plate 743 can move up and down in the receiving cavity under the rotation of the lead screw 741. Since the lifting plate 743 abuts against the base plate 52, during the up and down movement of the lifting plate 743, the turntable 712, the fixed plate 711 and the buffer slot 72 on the base plate 52 can be driven to move in the vertical direction.

[0113] To ensure that the lifting plate 743 can only move vertically, the first driving component 74 also includes a guide rod 744 and a guide sleeve 745. The guide sleeve 745 is mounted on the fixed plate 53, the first end of the guide rod 744 is connected to the lifting plate 743, and the second end of the guide rod 744 passes through the guide sleeve 745. Thus, during the process of the lead screw motor 742 driving the lead screw 741 to rotate, the lifting plate 743 can move up and down in the receiving cavity, and at the same time, the guide rod 744 also moves up and down. Under the limitation of the guide sleeve 745, the guide rod 744 ensures that the lifting plate 743 can only move vertically.

[0114] Furthermore, multiple guide rods 744 and guide sleeves 745 are provided, and multiple guide sleeves 745 are spaced apart on the fixing plate 53, with the second end of the guide rod 744 passing through the corresponding guide sleeve 745.

[0115] Specifically, the fixed plate 53 has two mounting holes for mounting guide sleeves 745, located on both sides of the lead screw motor 742. Two guide sleeves 745 are provided, each installed in one of the two mounting holes. Correspondingly, two guide rods 744 are provided, with their second ends passing through the corresponding guide sleeves 745. The limiting effect of the two guide rods 744 and the two guide sleeves 745 further restricts the direction of movement of the lifting plate 743.

[0116] In some embodiments, the second driving member 75 includes a stepper motor 752 and a moving gear 751. The stepper motor 752 is mounted on the fixed disk 711, and the rotating end of the stepper motor 752 meshes with the turntable 712 through the moving gear 751. The moving gear 751 and the turntable 712 are gear meshed, and the rotation of the turntable 712 is achieved by the stepper motor 752 driving it to rotate.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the third driving component 76 includes a cylinder 761, a connecting plate 762, a connecting rod 763, and a mechanical pusher 764. The cylinder 761 can be a rodless cylinder. The connecting plate 762 is mounted on the cylinder 761. The mechanical pusher 764 is connected to the connecting plate 762 via the connecting rod 763. The cylinder 761 is mounted on a fixed plate 711 and is used to drive the mechanical pusher 764 to move via the connecting plate 762. During operation, the cylinder 761 controls the movement of the connecting plate 762, and the connecting rod 763, driven by the connecting plate 762, drives the mechanical pusher 764 to move within the buffer slot 72.

[0118] Generally, the turntable 712 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 711, and multiple buffer slots 72 are provided, which are arranged alternately on the turntable 712. For example, in this embodiment, there are four buffer slots 72, which are arranged alternately around the turntable 712. Since the cylinder 761, connecting plate 762, connecting rod 763, and mechanical pusher 764 are all located on the fixed plate 711, the position of the third driving member 76 remains unchanged when the turntable 712 rotates relative to the fixed plate 711. Therefore, after the mechanical pusher 764 is fed into one buffer slot 72 by controlling the cylinder 761, the turntable 712 can be rotated to make another buffer slot 72 face the mechanical pusher 764, so that multiple buffer slots 72 can be fed by one mechanical pusher 764.

[0119] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the intelligent sample delivery device also includes an obstacle avoidance sensor 8. The obstacle avoidance sensor 8 can be installed on the main body 5 or the motion mechanism 6, or simultaneously on the main body 5 and the motion mechanism 6. The obstacle avoidance sensor 8 is electrically connected to the motion mechanism 6.

[0120] In this embodiment, multiple obstacle avoidance sensors 8 are provided, and the multiple obstacle avoidance sensors 8 are installed around the motion mechanism 6. The obstacle avoidance sensors 8 are used to effectively avoid or stop operation when encountering obstacles.

[0121] Based on the above embodiments, in one example, the intelligent sample delivery device further includes a positioning switch 9. The positioning switch 9 is disposed on the main body 5 of the device and is located on one side of the buffer slot 72. It is electrically connected to the first driving member 74 and the second driving member 75 and is used to detect the position of the buffer slot 72 relative to the external equipment (integrated test bench and online sampling storage device).

[0122] During operation, the positioning switch 9 continuously monitors the position of the buffer slot 72 relative to the external device. When the buffer slot 72 is not aligned with the integrated test bench or online sampling storage device, the positioning switch 9 controls the first drive component 74 to adjust the height and controls the second drive component 75 to control the rotation angle. Once the buffer slot 72 is aligned with the integrated test bench or online sampling storage device, the positioning switch 9 controls the first drive component 74 and the second drive component 75 to close, thus ensuring that the buffer slot 72 is aligned with the integrated test bench or online sampling storage device.

[0123] The intelligent sample delivery device also includes a navigation sensor 10, which is mounted on the main body 5 or the motion mechanism 6. The navigation sensor 10 has infrared lidar and collision avoidance detection. The navigation sensor 10 stores a map internally, allowing the motion mechanism 6 to operate within the workshop according to the route on the map. Specifically, the navigation sensor 10 can generate an operating route on the map based on the fixed locations of the online sampling and storage device and the integrated testing platform specified by the intelligent scheduling system, as well as a preset path strategy.

[0124] For example, the preset path strategy can be a distance priority strategy, that is, specifying the shortest route based on the location of one or more online sampling storage devices and the location of one or more integrated test benches; or it can be a load priority strategy, that is, when the intelligent sample delivery device is picking up materials from multiple online sampling storage devices, it prioritizes picking up materials from the online sampling storage devices with less material demand, because the material load of the intelligent sample delivery device increases as the material is picked up later; similarly, when delivering materials between multiple integrated test benches, it can prioritize delivering materials to the integrated test bench with more demand, so as to reduce the material load of the intelligent sample delivery device as soon as possible.

[0125] In this embodiment, the motion mechanism 6 is a motion trolley, which drives the entire intelligent sample delivery device forward, running along the route on the map within the workshop. It is equipped with obstacle avoidance sensors 8 and navigation sensors 10. A photoelectric signal transmitter is designed directly in front of the motion trolley to emit photoelectric signals, precisely positioning the intelligent sample delivery device at the fixed points of the online sampling and storage device and the integrated testing platform. Simultaneously, optical positioning plates are installed at the fixed points of the online sampling and storage device and the integrated testing platform, respectively. These optical positioning plates reflect the photoelectric signals emitted by the intelligent sample delivery device. The intelligent sample delivery device positions itself at either the fixed point of the online sampling and storage device or the fixed point of the integrated testing platform by receiving the photoelectric signals reflected from the optical positioning plates.

[0126] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 The following is a description of the specific workflow of the intelligent sample delivery device:

[0127] The motion trolley is responsible for driving the entire intelligent sample delivery device forward. It is positioned by the navigation sensor 10 and runs in the workshop according to the route on the map. It can effectively avoid obstacles by using the obstacle avoidance sensor 8. The motion trolley can go to the charging positioning point to charge. After receiving a work task, it will travel back and forth between the online sampling and storage device and the integrated testing platform to pick up and deliver materials. It will stop running after reaching any positioning point.

[0128] During material retrieval, the intelligent sample delivery device reaches the designated position of the online sampling and storage device. The moving trolley precisely positions the intelligent sample delivery device to the designated point. The buffer tank 72, controlled by the positioning switch 9, raises and lowers the base plate 52 below, aligning the buffer tank 72 with the storage hopper of the online sampling and storage device. After alignment, the online sampling and storage device delivers the sample into the buffer tank 72. If further sampling is needed, the turntable 712 rotates the buffer tank 72 90°, allowing the empty buffer tank 72 to switch to the sampling position for the next set of sampling. Once all four buffer tanks 72 are full, sampling stops, and the device prepares to move to the designated position on the integrated testing platform. The intelligent sample delivery device can fill one online sampling and storage device at once, or fill multiple online sampling and storage devices simultaneously, or leave them partially filled. It can deliver material to the designated position on the integrated testing platform as soon as it receives an instruction.

[0129] During feeding, after receiving the arrival signal from the intelligent sample delivery device, the intelligent scheduling system notifies the designated integrated testing platform to enter the receiving state. The intelligent scheduling system inputs the sample information to be tested and the corresponding testing requirements into the integrated testing platform. The intelligent sample delivery device arrives at the designated position on the integrated testing platform and then precisely positions itself at the positioning point. The buffer slot 72 is raised and lowered by the base plate 52 below it through the positioning switch 9, so that the buffer slot 72 aligns with the buffer hopper of the integrated testing platform. After alignment, the mechanical pusher 764 sends the sample from the buffer slot 72 into the buffer hopper of the integrated testing platform. The integrated testing platform has multiple buffer hoppers. If feeding is required, the turntable 712 rotates the buffer slot 72 by 90°, so that the buffer slot 72 with the sample is switched to the sample delivery position for the next set of sample delivery. Feeding stops after all four buffer slots 72 have been delivered. After feeding is completed, the platform waits for the intelligent scheduling system to arrange the next round of tasks, and then the integrated testing platform can complete the sample testing.

[0130] Please see Figure 6 This invention also provides an intelligent online sampling test method, which is executed using the aforementioned intelligent online sampling test system. The intelligent online sampling test method includes the following steps:

[0131] Step S1: The intelligent scheduling system obtains the sampling test requirement information and sends a sampling instruction to the online sampling storage device according to the sampling test requirement information.

[0132] The sampling and testing requirements include the characteristic information of the sample to be tested, the quantity information of the sample to be tested, and the physical parameter information to be tested. Please refer to the description in the above embodiments for details, which will not be repeated here.

[0133] In some embodiments, when the intelligent online sampling testing system includes an online sampling storage device, the intelligent scheduling system sends a sampling instruction to the online sampling storage device based on the quantity information of the samples to be tested, the maximum storage capacity of the online sampling storage device, and the actual storage capacity. The sampling instruction may include a sampling action command and sampling quantity information.

[0134] In some embodiments, when the intelligent online sampling and testing system includes multiple online sampling and storage devices corresponding one-to-one with multiple production lines, step S1 includes the following steps:

[0135] The intelligent scheduling system acquires the characteristic information of the sample to be tested, the quantity information of the sample to be tested, and the status information of each online sampling and storage device. Based on the characteristic information and quantity information of the sample to be tested and the status information of each online sampling and storage device, it designates an online sampling and storage device and sends a sampling instruction to the designated online sampling and storage device.

[0136] For details regarding the status information of the online sampling storage device, please refer to the description above; it will not be repeated here.

[0137] Specifically, to maximize the effectiveness of each online sampling and storage device, if the online sampling and storage device has not reached its maximum storage capacity after the previous sampling instruction has been executed and before the arrival of the intelligent sample delivery device, it can continue to execute the next sampling instruction. In this case, step S1 may include the following steps:

[0138] The intelligent scheduling system acquires the status information, maximum storage capacity, and actual storage capacity of each online sampling and storage device, as well as the characteristic information and quantity information of the sample to be tested. Based on the quantity information, characteristic information, status information, maximum storage capacity, and actual storage capacity of each online sampling and storage device, the system designates the corresponding online sampling and storage device and then sends a sampling instruction to the designated online sampling and storage device.

[0139] In step S2, the online sampling and storage device receives the sampling instruction, and takes samples on the production line and stores the samples according to the sampling instruction. After the sampling and storage operation is completed, it sends a sampling and storage completion signal to the intelligent scheduling system.

[0140] In step S3, the intelligent scheduling system receives the sampling and storage completion signal and sends a sequence of material picking instructions to the intelligent sample delivery device.

[0141] In some embodiments, when the intelligent online sampling and testing system includes multiple intelligent sample delivery devices, step S3 includes the following steps:

[0142] The intelligent scheduling system receives the sampling and storage completion signal and obtains the status information of each intelligent sample delivery device. Based on the sampling and storage completion signal and the status information of each intelligent sample delivery device, it designates the corresponding intelligent sample delivery device and sends a material picking instruction sequence to the designated intelligent sample delivery device.

[0143] For details regarding the status information of the intelligent sample delivery device, please refer to the description above; it will not be repeated here.

[0144] In step S4, the intelligent sample delivery device receives the material retrieval instruction sequence, and then runs to the designated location of the online sampling and storage device to retrieve the material according to the material retrieval instruction sequence. After the material retrieval is completed, it runs to the designated location of the comprehensive testing platform and sends a position signal to the intelligent scheduling system.

[0145] Specifically, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0146] The intelligent sample delivery device receives a sequence of material retrieval instructions, arranges its operating route according to the sequence, and runs to the designated location of the online sampling and storage device to retrieve the material. After retrieving the material, it runs to the designated location of the integrated testing platform and sends a position signal to the intelligent scheduling system.

[0147] The route is generated by the navigation sensors on the intelligent sample delivery device based on the fixed location of the designated online sampling and storage device, the fixed location of the designated integrated testing platform, and the preset path strategy.

[0148] In step S5, the intelligent scheduling system receives the position signal and sends a receiving instruction and the sample information to be tested to the integrated testing platform.

[0149] In some embodiments, when the intelligent online sampling test system includes multiple integrated test benches, step S5 includes the following steps:

[0150] The intelligent scheduling system receives the bit signal and the physical parameter information to be tested, and obtains the status information of each integrated test station. Based on the physical parameter information to be tested and the status information of each integrated test station, it designates the corresponding integrated test station and sends the material receiving instruction, the sample information to be tested, and the physical parameter information to be tested to the designated integrated test station.

[0151] For details regarding the status information of the integrated test bench, please refer to the description above; it will not be repeated here.

[0152] Understandably, when the integrated testing station is a multi-functional testing station, it can detect multiple physical parameters of the sample. Therefore, the intelligent scheduling system needs to send the physical parameter information to be tested, which is input by the personnel into the system, to the integrated testing station, so that the integrated testing station can select the appropriate detection mode for testing based on the physical parameter information.

[0153] Step S6: The integrated test bench receives the material receiving instruction and the information of the sample to be tested, and performs the material receiving operation according to the material receiving instruction. After the material receiving is completed, the test operation is performed according to the information of the sample to be tested. When the test operation is completed, a test completion signal is sent to the intelligent scheduling system.

[0154] In some embodiments, when the integrated test bench is a multi-functional test bench, step S6 includes the following steps:

[0155] The integrated testing platform receives the material receiving instruction, the physical parameter information to be tested, and the sample information to be tested. It performs the material receiving operation according to the material receiving instruction. After the material receiving is completed, it selects the corresponding physical parameter detection mode according to the physical parameter information to be tested and performs the detection operation on the sample. When the detection operation is completed, it sends a test completion signal to the intelligent scheduling system.

[0156] In summary, the intelligent online sampling and testing system and method of the present invention, by setting up an intelligent scheduling system and a comprehensive test bench, an intelligent sample delivery device, and an online sampling and storage device connected to the intelligent scheduling system network, allows the intelligent scheduling system to flexibly schedule the online sampling and storage device for sampling, the intelligent sample delivery device for sample delivery, and the comprehensive test bench for testing different physical parameters according to sampling and testing needs. The system is flexible in its use, does not rely on fixed pipelines or equipment, and can dynamically allocate each online sampling and storage device and the intelligent sample delivery device to maximize their efficiency, thereby improving work efficiency and saving costs.

[0157] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
