Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigarette material management, and more specifically to a method for marking information on tobacco materials used in assembly line operations. Background Technology

[0002] In modern production and supply chain management, material tracking and management are crucial. During cigarette manufacturing, different batches of tobacco are sequentially fed into the cigarette-making machine. In continuous production, the production order of tobacco batch numbers is determined according to the daily tobacco production plan, but this order is not consecutive. Therefore, as production time progresses, it often becomes impossible to determine which batch of tobacco is currently being used by the cigarette-making machine. Furthermore, tobacco has strict process standards, prohibiting the use of fluorescent or other markers to identify batches.

[0003] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a method for real-time marking, information monitoring, and location tracing of tobacco material information in a continuous production line through dynamic stacking. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this invention provides a method for marking information on tobacco materials in assembly line operations. Applying this invention to the tobacco industry for marking tobacco materials in assembly line operations can provide enterprises with an efficient solution for tobacco material production management and traceability.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0006] Methods for labeling tobacco material information, including

[0007] Control the tobacco material to be conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at a certain stacking height I;

[0008] Control the next batch of tobacco material to be conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at another stack height II;

[0009] This process continues until all batches of tobacco material have been discharged.

[0010] The stacking height I, stacking height II, etc., change according to a certain pattern as the batch quantity of tobacco material is updated;

[0011] By knowing the current stacking height of the tobacco material on the bottom of the discharge conveyor and the pattern of its variation, the batch data of this tobacco material can be obtained.

[0012] Since the batch number data of tobacco materials is not continuously updated with the number of incoming batches, but the stacking height and its changing pattern are known, the batch number data of the current tobacco materials can be located by using the current stacking height of the tobacco materials.

[0013] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the marking method further includes

[0014] Different grades of tobacco materials correspond to different patterns of stacking height variation;

[0015] The grade data of the tobacco material can be determined by reading the variation pattern of the stacking height of the tobacco material on the bottom of the discharge belt.

[0016] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the marking method further includes

[0017] Store and display the stack height data of at least three tobacco materials;

[0018] The current stacking height variation pattern is obtained through data analysis;

[0019] It can obtain and push the grade data of the current tobacco material.

[0020] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the stacking height variation law includes

[0021] The stacking height of adjacent batches of tobacco materials will definitely be different, and

[0022] As the batch data of tobacco materials is updated, its stacking height changes in an increasing sequence.

[0023] Alternatively, the stacking height of the tobacco material may change in a decreasing sequence as the batch data of the tobacco material is updated.

[0024] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the stacking height variation law also includes

[0025] As the batch data of tobacco materials is updated, its stacking height changes in a repeating sequence.

[0026] Alternatively, the stacking height of the tobacco material changes in a symmetrical sequence as the batch data of the tobacco material is updated.

[0027] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the control of the tobacco material to be conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at a certain stacking height I includes controlling the discharge bottom belt to run at a corresponding conveying speed so that the tobacco material is conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at a stacking height I.

[0028] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the control of the next batch of tobacco material to be conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at another stacking height II includes...

[0029] The sensor at the front end of the discharge bottom belt monitors the tobacco material information in real time. When the display shows that the material has gone from present to absent for at least 1 second, the conveying speed of the discharge bottom belt is adjusted based on the stacking height change pattern, so that the tobacco material is conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at the stacking height II corresponding to the current conveying speed, and the batch quantity of the tobacco material is updated to increase by one.

[0030] As an improvement to the above technical solution, when adjusting the conveying speed of the discharge bottom belt based on the stacking height variation law, the connection time between different batches of tobacco materials is less than 10 seconds to prevent excessive interruption time from causing process risks.

[0031] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the step of knowing the stacking height of the tobacco material on the current discharge bottom belt includes...

[0032] Multiple sensors placed at different locations on the discharge bottom belt collect the stacking height of the tobacco material in real time, and the average value is taken as the current stacking height of the tobacco material on the discharge bottom belt.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0034] This invention, a method for marking tobacco material information based on dynamic stacking, aims to improve the efficiency of tobacco material tracking, management, and traceability in assembly line operations. By employing dynamic stacking marking technology, this method can monitor and update tobacco material information in real time, providing more accurate and reliable data for production and supply chain management. This invention can achieve:

[0035] Real-time monitoring: By monitoring the stacking height of materials in real time through sensors, the timeliness and accuracy of obtaining batch and grade information of tobacco materials are improved, and the process is simpler and clearer, allowing product information to be grasped without testing;

[0036] Dynamic updates: The dynamic marking method based on stacking height can intuitively and in real time display tobacco material information, ensuring that batch data in the production process is always up-to-date. At the same time, based on the stacking height change pattern, this invention can also grasp the grade information of tobacco material. Two material marking information can be obtained through one height data, achieving two goals at once.

[0037] Highly efficient traceability: For tobacco materials produced continuously on assembly lines, it can effectively solve the problem that traditional methods cannot mark them. Users can quickly obtain material information and achieve efficient tracking and traceability of materials in the production process. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0040] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of system modules according to another embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 Methods for marking information about tobacco materials, including

[0043] Control the tobacco material to be conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at a certain stacking height I;

[0044] Control the next batch of tobacco material to be conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at another stack height II;

[0045] This process continues until all batches of tobacco material have been discharged.

[0046] The stacking height I, stacking height II, etc., change according to a certain pattern as the batch quantity of tobacco material is updated;

[0047] By knowing the current stacking height of the tobacco material on the bottom of the discharge conveyor and the pattern of its variation, the batch data of this tobacco material can be obtained.

[0048] In this embodiment, the daily tobacco production plan is known, meaning the total quantity of tobacco batches and the required batch numbers are known. During production preparation, we correlate the randomly ordered tobacco batches under this production plan with a certain stacking height variation pattern according to their production sequence. Therefore, during production, after obtaining the stacking height data and variation pattern of the tobacco material on the current discharge bottom belt, we can determine the batch number data of the tobacco material corresponding to that stacking height. This embodiment assumes that each stacking height in the stacking height variation pattern is different, so that one stacking height corresponds to only one batch number.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the marking method further includes

[0050] Different grades of tobacco materials correspond to different patterns of stacking height variation;

[0051] The grade data of the tobacco material can be determined by reading the variation pattern of the stacking height of the tobacco material on the bottom of the discharge belt.

[0052] As an implementation of the above embodiments, the marking method includes

[0053] Store and display the stack height data of at least three tobacco materials;

[0054] The current stacking height variation pattern is obtained through data analysis;

[0055] It can obtain and push the grade data of the current tobacco material.

[0056] In this embodiment, the stacking height variation law includes

[0057] The stacking height of adjacent batches of tobacco materials will definitely be different, and

[0058] As the batch data of tobacco materials is updated, the stacking height changes in an increasing sequence. For example, the stacking heights are 0.5cm, 0.75cm, 1cm, 1.25cm, 1.5cm, and so on.

[0059] Alternatively, the stacking height may change in a decreasing sequence as the batch data of the tobacco material is updated, such as stacking heights of 3cm, 2.75cm, 2.5cm, 2.25cm, etc.

[0060] Of course, the pattern of change in stacking height is not necessarily an arithmetic sequence.

[0061] In other embodiments, the stacking height variation pattern can also be:

[0062] As the batch data of tobacco materials is updated, its stacking height changes in a repeating sequence, such as stacking heights of 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, 1cm, 2cm, 3cm...;

[0063] Alternatively, the stacking height changes symmetrically with the update of batch data for tobacco materials, such as stacking heights of 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, 2cm, 1cm, etc.

[0064] In this situation, when there are identical stacking heights in the stacking height variation pattern, after obtaining the stacking height data of the tobacco material on the current discharge bottom belt, it is necessary to combine it with the current batch quantity to determine the batch number data corresponding to that stacking height.

[0065] In this embodiment, the control of conveying the tobacco material at a certain stacking height I on the discharge bottom belt includes...

[0066] The relationship between the conveying speed of the discharge bottom belt and the stacking height of the tobacco material on it is known;

[0067] By controlling the discharge bottom belt to operate at a corresponding conveying speed, the tobacco material is conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at a stacking height I.

[0068] In this embodiment, controlling the next batch of tobacco material to be conveyed on the discharge bottom conveyor at another stacking height II includes...

[0069] The sensor at the front end of the discharge bottom belt monitors the tobacco material information in real time. When the display shows that the material has gone from present to absent for at least 1 second, the conveying speed of the discharge bottom belt is adjusted based on the stacking height change pattern, so that the tobacco material is conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at the stacking height II corresponding to the current conveying speed, and the batch quantity of the tobacco material is updated to increase by one.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, when adjusting the conveying speed of the discharge bottom belt based on the stacking height variation pattern, the connection time between different batches of tobacco materials is less than 10 seconds to prevent excessive interruption time from causing process risks.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, knowing the stacking height of the tobacco material on the current discharge bottom belt includes...

[0072] Multiple sensors placed at different locations on the discharge bottom belt collect the stacking height of the tobacco material in real time, and the average value is taken as the current stacking height of the tobacco material on the discharge bottom belt.

[0073] Figure 2 This illustrates a labeling system for tobacco material information according to another embodiment.

[0074] In this embodiment, the marking system includes

[0075] The stacking height pattern storage unit is used to store the stacking height variation pattern of different brands of tobacco materials. The variation pattern includes the fact that the stacking height of each batch of tobacco materials of a certain brand is different, so that one stacking height corresponds to only one batch number data. For example, the stacking height changes in an increasing sequence as the batch data of tobacco materials is updated, or the stacking height changes in a decreasing sequence as the batch data of tobacco materials is updated.

[0076] The stacking height control unit is used to retrieve and control the conveying of a certain brand of tobacco shreds on the discharge bottom belt according to the corresponding stacking height variation law; wherein the correspondence between the conveying speed of the discharge bottom belt and the stacking height of the tobacco shreds on it is known, and by controlling the discharge bottom belt to run at the corresponding conveying speed, the tobacco shreds can be conveyed on the discharge bottom belt at different stacking heights.

[0077] The stacking height detection unit is used to acquire and display the stacking height data of each batch of tobacco material on the bottom conveyor belt in real time. Specifically, multiple sensors set at different positions on the bottom conveyor belt collect the stacking height of the tobacco material in real time, and take the average value as the current stacking height of the tobacco material on the bottom conveyor belt.

[0078] The stacking height analysis unit is used to analyze the stacking height variation pattern of tobacco materials on the current discharge bottom belt. Specifically, based on the stacking height data of at least 3 batches of tobacco materials, the unit analyzes the data to obtain the current stacking height variation pattern and pushes and displays the grade data of the current tobacco materials.

[0079] The tobacco batch display unit can determine and display the batch data of the tobacco material based on the known stacking height variation pattern and the current stacking height of the tobacco material on the bottom conveyor belt.
