Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cigarette manufacturing, in particular to a medium-branch moisture-retaining outer appearance detection system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, in order to improve the product process control ability and further promote fine manufacturing, visual detection technology is widely used in the field of cigarette manufacturing. Especially in the detection of small box cigarette package, it is widely used. The small package appearance detection device is generally installed on the outlet channel of the small box packaging machine, and the original machine is used to realize it.

[0003] In detail, the existing product cigarette visual imaging detection, which is commonly known as small package appearance detection in the industry, mainly detects the packaged small box trademark paper product. The specific method is to install an imaging detection system on the small box packaging machine outlet cigarette conveying channel. When the device is running, the cigarette is placed on the conveying belt, and the conveying belt transports the cigarette by friction. The moisture-retaining package appearance detection detects the upper side, front large face, rear large face, left bottom face and right bottom face of the small box cigarette package (the lower side is in contact with the conveying belt and cannot be detected). That is, the existing technology mainly detects the side-standing cigarette, and the detection surface is five surfaces, and there is no full six-surface moisture-retaining package appearance detection scheme. Furthermore, in the current visual detection scheme, the illumination mechanism for improving the clarity of the photograph will cause uneven exposure, and thus the ideal imaging effect cannot be obtained. In addition, before the cigarette enters the detection device, the small box cigarette is usually separated by two vertical conveying belts. Since the packaging material of the moisture-retaining package is soft, this conveying method using a belt clamp may cause the cigarette to deform and affect the product quality.

[0004] The summary is as follows:

[0005] (1) The existing moisture-retaining package appearance detection only detects five surfaces, the conveying belt width is greater than the cigarette width, and the lower side is in contact with the conveying belt. If there is a quality defect on the lower side of the cigarette, the existing moisture-retaining package appearance detection scheme cannot reliably detect it.

[0006] (2) The existing moisture-retaining package appearance detection uses a strip light source to light, and the LED light source is illuminated from the same direction, which often causes part of the collected cigarette image to be overexposed and the other part to be weakly exposed, thereby affecting the detection accuracy.

[0007] (3) Before the cigarette enters the detection device, the vertical conveying belt clamping method is used for separation, which may deform the cigarette and affect the product quality. SUMMARY

[0045] Figure 3A flowchart of a middle support moisture-retaining bag appearance detection method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to examples shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the present application.

[0047] An embodiment of a middle support moisture-retaining bag appearance detection system is provided by the present application, and specifically as shown in Figure 1 which includes a sub-pack triggering optical fiber 1, a photographing triggering optical fiber 2, a rejection triggering optical fiber 3, an outlet blockage detection optical fiber 4, a sub-pack device 5, a sub-pack motor 6, a front light supplementing device 7, a front detection camera 8, a rear light supplementing device 9, a rear detection camera 10, an upper light supplementing device 11, an upper detection camera 12, a lower light supplementing device 13, a lower detection camera 14, a left upper detection camera 15, a right upper detection camera 16, a rejection device 18, and a conveying belt 19.

[0048] The conveying belt 19 can be horizontally and parallelly arranged by two 10mm wide rubber belts, which are used to horizontally support the maximum side of the cigarette pack, and the two belts have a preset interval. Preferably, the interval of the two belts is adjustable, for example, the two belts respectively contact the left quarter and the right quarter of the lower side of the cigarette pack, so that the corner and most of the lower side of the cigarette pack can be leaked out while ensuring stable conveying of the cigarette pack, thereby minimizing the shielding of the lower side of the cigarette pack by the belt.

[0049] The sub-pack triggering optical fiber 1, the photographing triggering optical fiber 2, the rejection triggering optical fiber 3, and the outlet blockage detection optical fiber 4 are sequentially arranged according to the conveying direction as shown in the figure, and specifically, the sub-pack triggering optical fiber 1 can be arranged at a preset distance before the sub-pack device 5, the photographing triggering optical fiber 2 can be arranged at a position close to the camera area behind the sub-pack device 5, the rejection triggering optical fiber 3 can be arranged at the conveying channel behind the photographing area (the predetermined rejection position), and the outlet blockage detection optical fiber 4 can be arranged at the end outlet of the conveying belt 19. In actual operation, the above four groups of optical fibers can be installed in the middle channel of the two conveying belts 19 by a fixed support, and an up-down shooting mode is adopted, and more preferably, a convex lens is arranged on the optical fiber probe to focus the infrared light emitted by the optical fiber to a light spot diameter less than 6mm, so that the position deviation of the cigarette pack is less than 2mm when triggered each time.

[0050] Then, the sub-packaging device 5 is installed on a moisture-retention package appearance detection base (not shown in the figure), and when the moisture-retention package reaches the sub-packaging device 5, the continuously conveyed cigarette packages are separated by a certain distance by the sub-packaging device, so as to ensure that only a single cigarette package is photographed each time during subsequent photographing detection, and interference caused by front and rear cigarette packages is avoided.

[0051] The sub-packaging motor 6 is connected with the sub-packaging device through a belt wheel and a toothed belt, provides sub-packaging power for the sub-packaging device 5, and can control the sub-packaging effect through motor speed. Specifically, the sub-packaging device 5 can include a clamping mechanism, and through speed and steering control of the sub-packaging motor 6, the effect of gentle clamping and rapid release can be achieved, which can avoid damage to the cigarette package and ensure the efficiency of continuous detection. In some other embodiments, as shown in the figure, the sub-packaging device 5 can be a roller set located on the side of the conveyed cigarette package. The roller set driven by the sub-packaging motor is in frictional contact with the multiple sides of the cigarette package, so as to achieve the effect of changing the conveying speed of the cigarette package and achieve the purpose of separating adjacent cigarette packages by a certain distance. For example, the roller set rotates at a speed significantly lower than the speed of the conveying belt, so that the cigarette package passing through this place is slowed down.

[0052] In succession, the front light supplementing device 7, the rear light supplementing device 9, the upper light supplementing device 11, and the lower light supplementing device 13 correspond to the front, rear, upper, and lower four sides of the cigarette package, respectively, and are installed at the conveying belt 19 behind the sub-packaging device 5 according to the conveying direction.

[0053] The above light supplementing device has a bowl-shaped semicircular structure, which can specifically include a circular light supplementing cover and a ring-shaped LED lamp facing the circular light supplementing cover. The light emitted by the LED does not directly irradiate the cigarette package, but irradiates the circular light supplementing cover and is reflected back through the light supplementing cover. More preferably, the inner side reflecting surface of the circular light supplementing cover is a white frosted rough surface, the light irradiates the surface to form a diffuse reflection, and uniform light irradiation covers the entire inside of the light supplementing device, so as to uniformly supplement the light of the entire plane of the cigarette package.

[0054] The front detection camera 8, the rear detection camera 10, the upper detection camera 12, the lower detection camera 14, the left upper detection camera 15 and the right upper detection camera 16 are respectively arranged corresponding to six sides of the cigarette packet, and the front detection camera 8, the rear detection camera 10, the upper detection camera 12 and the lower detection camera 14 are respectively connected with the front light supplement device 7, the rear light supplement device 9, the upper light supplement device 11 and the lower light supplement device 13, for example, a camera passing hole is arranged on the top of a bowl-shaped semicircular light supplement cover, which is not limited in the application. It can be explained that, since the left upper detection camera 15 and the right upper detection camera 16 are located on the detection channel and it is inconvenient to install the aforementioned light supplement device in space, in some other preferred embodiments of the application, a strip-shaped light supplement lamp can be additionally arranged below the left upper detection camera and the right upper detection camera to supplement light for the left front and right front sides of the cigarette packet.

[0055] It can be explained that the aforementioned camera mounting mode can be achieved by a semicircular mounting bracket 17, for example, the mounting bracket 17 can be fixed on the cigarette packet appearance detection base by a screw rod (not shown in the figure), and as shown schematically, three cameras can be mounted on each mounting bracket 17 (another mounting bracket 17 is not shown).

[0056] The rejection device 18 is arranged behind the camera in the conveying direction, and specifically can be composed of a rejection electromagnetic valve, a rejection air cylinder and a rejection nozzle. When the cigarette packet is determined to be defective and reaches the rejection position, the rejection device 18 is triggered to reject the defective cigarette packet on the channel.

[0057] The packetizing trigger optical fiber 1, the photographing trigger optical fiber 2, the rejection trigger optical fiber 3 and the outlet blockage detection optical fiber 4 are respectively electrically connected with each light supplement device, each detection camera, a packetizing motor and the rejection device.

[0058] Here, the packetizing trigger optical fiber 1, the photographing trigger optical fiber 2, the rejection trigger optical fiber 3 and the outlet blockage detection optical fiber 4 are respectively electrically connected with each light supplement device, each detection camera, a packetizing motor and the rejection device. Figure 2 The electrical connection block diagram of the middle branch moisture-retention packet appearance detection system is shown (only an embodiment is shown, which is not limited), in which the signals detected by the packetizing trigger optical fiber 1, the photographing trigger optical fiber 2, the rejection trigger optical fiber 3 and the outlet blockage detection optical fiber 4 are transmitted to a trigger board (which can be understood as a signal conversion and distribution circuit module), and the signals are divided into three paths by the trigger board.

[0059] The first path is directly transmitted to all cameras and light supplement devices, in which the cameras are triggered to take pictures while the light supplement devices are powered to supplement light, so as to reduce the trigger delay of taking pictures and supplementing light and ensure that the light supplement and picture taking are synchronized. In which, the signal for triggering the picture taking can be converted to 12V by the trigger board, and the voltage for supplementing light is 24V.

[0060] Second, the trigger board transmits the signal to the I / O interface board, which processes the signal into 5V or 12V signal that can be received by the host computer and transmitted to the host computer, and the host computer completes the trigger counting, fault detection and other processes.

[0061] Third, the trigger board directly transmits the signal to the PLC (such as Beckhoff) for control of the conveying belt, the rejection device and the packaging motor.

[0062] In addition, in the above Figure 2 Based on the schematic electrical framework, the host computer can be connected to the PLC and each detection camera, and in actual operation, the detection camera and the host computer can be connected through Ethernet, and the PLC and the host computer can be connected through TwinCAT3 network cable.

[0063] Based on the electrical framework, the detection camera and the host computer can realize functions such as parameter download and photo upload. For example, the detection camera takes a picture of a cigarette packet and transmits the cigarette packet image to the host computer, the host computer detects defects through a preset appearance image detection algorithm, and when a defect is detected in the current cigarette packet image, an NG signal is transmitted to the PLC through the network cable; after receiving the cigarette packet defect signal, the PLC can control the rejection solenoid valve to be powered on, thereby controlling the rejection air cylinder to act and rejecting the corresponding cigarette packet.

[0064] Finally, based on the above system embodiment, the present application combines Figure 3 to provide a method flow of a middle support moisture retention package appearance detection method:

[0065] After the equipment is running, the outlet blockage detection optical fiber 4 judges whether the outlet is blocked, and when the outlet is blocked, the conveying belt and the packaging motor are not started.

[0066] When the outlet is not blocked, the conveying belt is driven to run, and the cigarette packet is conveyed from Figure 1 the left side to the right side as shown, and when the cigarette packet first reaches the packaging trigger optical fiber, the packaging trigger photoelectric probe transmits the signal of the presence of the cigarette packet to the PLC.

[0067] The PLC outputs a signal to control the packaging motor to start, and when the cigarette packet reaches the packaging device, the cigarette packet experiences a process of deceleration and then acceleration because the speed of the packaging device is less than that of the conveying belt, so that the cigarette packet passing through the packaging device is separated from the adjacent conveyed cigarette packet by a distance, facilitating subsequent each time of photographing only one cigarette packet.

[0068] After passing through the packaging device, when the cigarette packet reaches the position of the photographing trigger photoelectric sensor, the sensor transmits the signal of the presence of the cigarette packet to the trigger board, and the trigger board outputs a control signal to control the upper, lower, front, rear, left front and right front fill light to illuminate the cigarette packet; at the same time, the trigger board outputs a signal to control the six detection cameras to take pictures.

[0069] After the photographing is completed, the detection camera can transmit the picture to the upper computer through Ethernet, the upper computer determines whether the cigarette packet is defective through the established cigarette packet appearance detection algorithm, when the cigarette packet is normal, no processing is performed, and when the cigarette packet image represents a defect, the upper computer outputs a signal to the PLC, the PLC receives the defect signal and judges whether the cigarette packet reaches the rejection position through an optical fiber, when the rejection detection photoelectric sensor detects that the defective cigarette packet has reached, the cigarette packet reaching signal is transmitted to the PLC, the PLC outputs a signal to control the electromagnetic valve of the rejection device to be connected to high pressure air, and the cigarette packet is rejected.

[0070] To sum up, the main design concept of the present application is that six cameras for small packet appearance are configured, and two belts with a spacing are used to horizontally convey the cigarette packets, so that the bottom of the cigarette packet is maximally exposed, and six face detection of the small packet is realized; and through multi-angle dome lighting, uniform light supplement for the moisture retention packet is realized, which is beneficial to improve the detection accuracy of the fine defects; in addition, the provided packet dividing device and packet dividing motor can adjust the rotating speed to adapt to different requirements and production speeds, so that it can effectively ensure that only a single cigarette packet is photographed each time, and the packet dividing device can uniformly divide the cigarette packet while ensuring that the cigarette packet is not excessively squeezed. Therefore, the present application realizes the effect of conveying the cigarette packet by the flat packet and completing the reliable six-face visual imaging detection.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, if the expression of the position is mentioned, it is based on the relative concept of the embodiments, and in addition, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more. The "and / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean that A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Wherein A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally represents that the front and rear associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" and the like means any combination of these items, including any combination of single or multiple items. For example, at least one of a, b and c can mean: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, or a and b and c, wherein a, b, c can be single or multiple.
