Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tobacco packaging, and in particular relates to a dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism and a packaging method. Background Art

[0002] As a sub-category pioneered by China Tobacco, the market growth of medium-sized cigarettes has continued to improve in recent years. Its development has benefited from product innovation and category innovation. For example, the launch of Zhonghua Gold Medium-sized Cigarettes and Zhonghua Double Medium-sized Cigarettes has broken the inherent pattern of the high-priced cigarette market and led the development of medium-sized cigarettes. Major cigarette brands have launched medium-sized products, which has promoted the rapid development of the market. Therefore, creating product features and selling points, promoting the development of products from homogeneity to diversification, and giving consumers more choices and experiences in terms of product packaging, cigarettes, flavors and cultural characteristics of products have become the key to the future development of the medium-sized cigarette market. It is necessary to continuously innovate and improve product flavor and packaging forms to meet consumer needs and cope with market competition. In addition to the flavor of cigarettes, people also have higher requirements for the packaging form of outer packaging. However, traditional cigarette packaging machines are usually single-channel, single-flavor cigarettes, which are difficult to meet the personalized needs of consumer groups for multiple flavors; adding modular design to packaging production can better flexibly adjust according to customer needs to meet customers' personalized and multiple flavors.

[0003] The present invention is proposed for this purpose. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism. The method of the present invention uses cigarettes of two colors and two flavors (each color corresponds to one flavor), and at the same time matches two colors of lining paper and frame paper; the invented dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism is used for packaging the two types of cigarettes.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] The first aspect of the present invention discloses a dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism, wherein the cigarette box packaging uses two colors of cigarettes, and is matched with two colors of liner paper and frame paper; the dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism comprises: a cigarette supply and arrangement system, a liner paper fixed conveying and cutting system, and a frame paper fixed conveying and cutting and folding system;

[0007] The cigarette supply and arrangement system comprises: a first cigarette storage cabinet 1, a second cigarette storage cabinet 2, a first cigarette conveyor belt 3, a second cigarette conveyor belt 4, a first smoke channel 5, a second smoke channel 6, a baffle 7, and a guide rail 8;

[0008] The inner liner paper fixed conveying and cutting system comprises: first color inner liner paper 9, second color inner liner paper 10, first inner liner paper roll frame 11, second inner liner paper roll frame 12, first paper guide roller 14, second paper guide roller 15, swing roller 17, speed detection device 18, paper winding roller 16, main driving member 19, first cigarette conveying rail 21, second cigarette conveying rail 22; wherein the main driving member 19 is provided with active roller 13 and inner liner paper cutter 20;

[0009] The frame paper fixed conveying, cutting and folding system comprises: a two-color frame paper reel 23, a frame paper reel frame 24, a frame paper guide roller 25, a conveying pressure roller 26, a frame paper cutting and folding device 27, and a transverse conveying track 28.

[0010] The first smoke channel 5 and the second smoke channel 6 are connected to the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22;

[0011] The first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22 are connected to the transverse conveying track 28 .

[0012] Preferably, the first cigarette storage cabinet 1, the first cigarette conveyor belt 3 and the first cigarette channel 5 are connected in sequence; the second cigarette storage cabinet 2, the second cigarette conveyor belt 4 and the second cigarette channel 6 are connected in sequence; the baffle 7 is arranged between the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6; and the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6 are respectively provided with guide rails 8. In the cigarette supply and arrangement system, the cigarettes are placed in the cigarette channel in an initially scattered state for transportation; the two colors of cigarettes are sorted and arranged in the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6, respectively, and the two channels are provided with guide rails 8 for arranging cigarettes, so that the cigarettes are arranged neatly in a certain direction and order. This step directly affects the arrangement neatness and packaging quality of the cigarettes. The first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6 are respectively provided with sensors to detect the number and quality of cigarettes. During the process of sorting and arranging cigarettes, it is ensured that each cigarette is arranged in the correct position and direction, and there are no missing, inverted, or damaged cigarettes. If an abnormality is detected in the equipment, the system will automatically stop and issue an alarm to prompt or shut down. The first smoke channel 5 and the second smoke channel 6 and related components, control systems, etc. are respectively composed of and controlled by two independent modules. After completing the cigarette sorting and arrangement process and detection, the two colors of cigarettes will be arranged in double rows of 5+5 in the first smoke channel 5 and the second smoke channel 6 and transported to the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22 of the liner paper fixed conveying and cutting system for subsequent liner paper packaging.

[0013] Preferably, the first color lining paper 9 is installed on the first lining paper roll frame 11, and the second color lining paper 10 is installed on the second lining paper roll frame 12; by driving the active roller 13 to rotate, the two kinds of lining papers are respectively wound off the first lining paper roll frame 11 and the second lining paper roll frame 12, and then respectively pass through the first paper guide roller 14 and the second paper guide roller 15, the swing roller 17, the speed detection device 18, the paper winding roller 16 and the active roller 13, and are respectively cut into single sheets of set size by the lining paper cutter 20; the single lining paper after cutting is respectively connected to the first cigarette conveying rail 21, the second cigarette conveying rail 21 and the second cigarette conveying rail 21. The cigarettes in the cigarette conveying track 22 converge from the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6, completing the cigarette lining paper wrapping and forming process; wherein, the speed detection device 18, the first lining paper roll frame 11, the second lining paper roll frame 12, and the main drive 19 are electrically connected; the speed detection device 18 is used to detect the rotation speed of the first lining paper roll frame 11 and the second lining paper roll frame 12, and feed back the speed information to the active roller 13; the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22 are connected to the transverse conveying track 28, and respectively control the conveying position of the two lining papers. The lining paper motor adjusts the speed of the conveying lining paper according to the rotation speed of the main drive 19; the position of the swing roller 17 reflects the tension of the lining paper conveying. When the swing roller 17 is too low, it means that the lining paper is loose and the paper feeding speed needs to be reduced; when the swing roller 17 is too high, it means that the lining paper is tight and the paper feeding speed of the motor needs to be increased. Unlike other packaging equipment, the above frame paper fixed conveying cutting and folding system are controlled by two independent modules, and the two colors of lining paper are not allowed to be converted and used, but the rotation speed needs to be adjusted to be consistent. The lining paper conveying control system uses a servo motor as the driving source, and phase adjustment is performed through the PLC controller and servo driver to ensure the accuracy and stability of lining paper conveying. By driving the active roller 13 to rotate, the two lining papers are unfolded and cut; the first color lining paper 9 and the second color lining paper 10 pass through the first paper guide roller 14 and the second paper guide roller 15, the swing roller 17, the speed detection device 18, the paper winding roller 16 and the active roller 13, respectively, and are cut into a set single size by the lining paper cutter 20; the process involves the steps of conveying, unfolding, positioning, cutting and the like of the two lining papers. After cutting, the two colors of lining papers are respectively merged with the cigarettes in the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22 from the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6, respectively completing the cigarette lining paper wrapping and forming process.

[0014] Preferably, the two-color frame paper reel 23 is installed on the frame paper reel rack 24. After the two-color frame paper is wound off the frame paper reel rack 24, the two-color frame paper is sent into the frame paper cutting and folding device 27 through the frame paper guide roller 25 and the conveying pressure roller 26 respectively. The two-color frame paper is cut and folded into single sheets of frame paper and then sent to the transverse conveying track 28, where it merges with the cigarette packs wrapped with the cigarette liner paper in the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22, completing the packaging of the frame paper. The two-color frame paper reel 23 is a single-roll design. The two-color frame paper is cut into a fixed shape and length in the frame paper cutting and folding device 27, and the pressing of the folding dotted line and the bending of the edge are completed at the same time; the two-color frame paper reel 23 is divided into two colors from the middle, such as the first color on the left and the second color on the right, which correspond to the lining paper and cigarettes of the same color, respectively, so as to distinguish the taste, etc.; the cut single frame paper is sent to the transverse conveying track 28 through the frame paper guide roller 25 and the conveying pressure roller 26 to merge with the cigarette pack. During the conveying process of the transverse conveying track 28, the two frame papers need to complete the accurate positioning of the center distance. This process involves the adjustment of the center distance of the frame paper to ensure that it is consistent with the conveying center of the lining paper forming cigarette pack in the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22. During the conveying process, through automation and precision control, the cigarette box packaging machine efficiently completes the conveying and combination of the two frame papers and the two lining paper forming cigarette packs, respectively, to meet the continuity and stability of the high-speed production of the packaging machine.

[0015] Preferably, the liner paper fixed conveying and cutting system adopts a servo motor as a driving source, and performs phase adjustment through a PLC controller and a servo driver.

[0016] Preferably, a formula is designed to calculate the phase adjustment of paper conveying, PLC controller, and servo drive; the formula is: Wherein, v: paper conveying speed (unit: m / s); TPLC: PLC controller scanning period (unit: s); Tservo: servo drive response time (unit: s); φ: servo motor angular velocity (unit: radians / s).

[0017] Preferably, the formula The design steps are:

[0018] (1) Calculate the distance the paper moves in one PLC cycle:

[0019] (2) Calculate the distance the servo drive moves in one cycle:

[0020] (3) Calculate the phase difference: The phase difference Δφ is estimated by the relative movement distance between the servo drive and the PLC controller; assuming that the phase difference is in degrees:

[0021] (4) Adjusting the phase: To ensure synchronization, the phase of the servo drive needs to be adjusted; the adjusted phase φadj can be expressed as: φadj = φcurrent + Δφ, where φcurrent is the current phase;

[0022] Combining the above steps, we get the complete formula to calculate the required phase adjustment.

[0023] The second aspect of the present invention discloses a packaging method using the dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism, comprising the following steps:

[0024] The cigarettes of the first color in the first cigarette storage cabinet 1 pass through the first cigarette conveyor belt 3 and enter the first cigarette passage 5, where they are sorted and arranged on the guide rail 8. The cigarettes of the second color in the second cigarette storage cabinet 2 pass through the second cigarette conveyor belt 4 and enter the second cigarette passage 6, where they are sorted and arranged on the guide rail 8. The two colors of cigarettes are arranged in a double row 5+5 arrangement, and then transported to the first cigarette conveyor rail 21 and the second cigarette conveyor rail 22.

[0025] The active roller 13 is driven to rotate, and the two colors of liner papers are respectively unwound from the first liner paper reel stand 11 and the second liner paper reel stand 12, and then respectively cut into single sheets of set size by the liner paper cutter 20 after passing through the first paper guide roller 14 and the second paper guide roller 15, the swing roller 17, the speed detection device 18, the paper winding roller 16 and the active roller 13; the single sheets of liner paper after cutting are respectively merged with the cigarettes in the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22, completing the process of wrapping and forming the cigarettes with the liner paper; after the cigarettes are wrapped and formed with the liner paper, they are conveyed to the transverse conveying track 28;

[0026] The conveying and pressing rollers 26 are driven to rotate, and the two-color frame paper reel 23 installed on the frame paper reel rack 24 rotates. After the two-color frame paper is wound off the frame paper reel rack 24, the two-color frame paper is respectively fed into the frame paper cutting and folding device 27 through the frame paper guide rollers 25 and the conveying and pressing rollers 26. The two-color frame paper is respectively cut and folded into single sheets of frame paper and then fed to the transverse conveying track 28, and merged with the cigarette packs wrapped with the cigarette liner paper in the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22, thereby completing the packaging of the frame paper;

[0027] After the frame paper and the cigarette pack are packaged, they are placed in an outer packaging flat sheet box to complete the packaging process of the cigarette box.

[0028] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0029] 1. The dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism of the present invention is a dual-channel packaging system. The steps of supplying and arranging cigarettes, fixing, conveying and cutting liner paper and frame paper are all controlled by two independent modules, and two colors of cigarettes and two colors of liner paper and frame paper can be packaged in a small cigarette box. The packaging method of the dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism of the present invention is completed automatically throughout the whole process, and the equipment has high operating efficiency and low transformation cost.

[0030] 2. The dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism of the present invention is designed to flexibly create new product configurations for products with different flavors, functions, packaging patterns or colors by combining different channels and modules. Through the dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism, a series of modules can be combined according to the requirements to produce different packaging needs, and cigarette products can better meet the multi-flavor and personalized needs of consumers, thereby effectively improving the packaging work efficiency. This design will not change the main parameters of the packaging materials and equipment, and only relies on modular recombination to carry out packaging production and manufacturing.

[0031] 3. The dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism of the present invention has relatively independent characteristics, so in actual production, different modules and packaging materials can be flexibly adjusted and replaced. At the same time, different modules can also be produced, repaired, and updated separately, and have strong interchangeability; when interchanged, the parameter settings of the modules also need to be universal, ensuring that the parameter settings are unified and standardized, and the interfaces between different modules can be mutually interchangeable. Therefore, the application of modular dual-channel cigarette box packaging equipment will be beneficial for production companies to adjust packaging materials and cigarettes in a timely manner according to changes in consumer demand, and use modular equipment to shorten the cigarette production cycle and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present invention discloses a dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism, which uses two colors of cigarettes and two colors of lining paper and frame paper for cigarette box packaging; the dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism includes: a cigarette supply and arrangement system, a lining paper fixed conveying and cutting system, and a frame paper fixed conveying and cutting and folding system; each color corresponds to a flavor;

[0046] The cigarette supply and arrangement system comprises: a first cigarette storage cabinet 1, a second cigarette storage cabinet 2, a first cigarette conveyor belt 3, a second cigarette conveyor belt 4, a first smoke channel 5, a second smoke channel 6, a baffle 7, and a guide rail 8;

[0048] The frame paper fixed conveying, cutting and folding system comprises: a reel of two-color frame paper 23, a frame paper reel frame 24, a frame paper guide roller 25, a conveying pressure roller 26, a frame paper cutting and folding device 27, and a transverse conveying track 28;

[0049] The first smoke channel 5 and the second smoke channel 6 are connected to the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22;

[0050] The first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22 are connected to the transverse conveying track 28 .

[0051] Among them, the first cigarette storage cabinet 1, the first cigarette conveyor belt 3 and the first cigarette channel 5 are connected in sequence; the second cigarette storage cabinet 2, the second cigarette conveyor belt 4 and the second cigarette channel 6 are connected in sequence; the baffle 7 is arranged between the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6; and the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6 are respectively arranged with guide rails 8. In the cigarette supply and arrangement system, the cigarettes are placed in the cigarette channel in an initially scattered state for transportation; the two colors of cigarettes are sorted and arranged in the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6, respectively, and the two channels are provided with guide rails 8 for arranging cigarettes, so that the cigarettes are arranged neatly in a certain direction and order. This step directly affects the arrangement neatness and packaging quality of the cigarettes. Sensors are respectively provided in the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6 to detect the number and quality of cigarettes. During the process of sorting and arranging cigarettes, it is ensured that each cigarette is arranged in the correct position and direction, and there are no missing, inverted, or damaged cigarettes. If an abnormality is detected in the equipment, the system will automatically stop and issue an alarm to prompt or shut down. The first smoke channel 5 and the second smoke channel 6 and related components, control systems, etc. are respectively composed of and controlled by two independent modules. After completing the cigarette sorting and arrangement process and detection, the two colors of cigarettes will be arranged in double rows of 5+5 in the first smoke channel 5 and the second smoke channel 6 and transported to the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22 of the liner paper fixed conveying and cutting system for subsequent liner paper packaging.

[0052] The first color inner lining paper 9 is installed on the first inner lining paper roll frame 11, and the second color inner lining paper 10 is installed on the second inner lining paper roll frame 12; by driving the active roller 13 to rotate, the two kinds of inner lining papers are respectively wound off the first inner lining paper roll frame 11 and the second inner lining paper roll frame 12, and then respectively pass through the first paper guide roller 14 and the second paper guide roller 15, the swing roller 17, the speed detection device 18, the paper winding roller 16 and the active roller 13, and are respectively cut into a set single sheet size by the inner lining paper cutter 20; the single inner lining paper after cutting is respectively connected to the first cigarette conveying rail 21, the second cigarette conveying rail 22, and the second cigarette conveying rail 23. The cigarettes in the cigarette conveying track 22 converge from the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6, completing the cigarette lining paper wrapping and forming process; wherein, the speed detection device 18, the first lining paper roll frame 11, the second lining paper roll frame 12, and the main drive 19 are electrically connected; the speed detection device 18 is used to detect the rotation speed of the first lining paper roll frame 11 and the second lining paper roll frame 12, and feed back the speed information to the active roller 13; the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22 are connected to the transverse conveying track 28, and respectively control the conveying position of the two lining papers. The lining paper motor adjusts the speed of the conveying lining paper according to the rotation speed of the main drive 19; the position of the swing roller 17 reflects the tension of the lining paper conveying. When the swing roller 17 is too low, it means that the lining paper is loose and the paper feeding speed needs to be reduced; when the swing roller 17 is too high, it means that the lining paper is tight and the paper feeding speed of the motor needs to be increased. Unlike other packaging equipment, the above frame paper fixed conveying cutting and folding system are controlled by two independent modules, and the two colors of lining paper are not allowed to be converted and used, but the rotation speed needs to be adjusted to be consistent. The lining paper conveying control system uses a servo motor as the driving source, and phase adjustment is performed through the PLC controller and servo driver to ensure the accuracy and stability of lining paper conveying. By driving the active roller 13 to rotate, the two lining papers are unfolded and cut; the first color lining paper 9 and the second color lining paper 10 pass through the first paper guide roller 14 and the second paper guide roller 15, the swing roller 17, the speed detection device 18, the paper winding roller 16 and the active roller 13, respectively, and are cut into a set single size by the lining paper cutter 20; the process involves the steps of conveying, unfolding, positioning, cutting and the like of the two lining papers. After cutting, the two colors of lining papers are respectively merged with the cigarettes in the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22 from the first cigarette channel 5 and the second cigarette channel 6, respectively completing the cigarette lining paper wrapping and forming process.

[0053] Among them, the two-color frame paper reel 23 is installed on the frame paper reel rack 24. After the two-color frame paper is wound off the frame paper reel rack 24, the two-color frame paper is sent into the frame paper cutting and folding device 27 through the frame paper guide roller 25 and the conveying pressure roller 26 respectively. The two-color frame paper is cut and folded into single sheets of frame paper and then sent to the transverse conveying track 28, and merges with the cigarette packs wrapped with the cigarette liner paper in the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22 to complete the packaging of the frame paper. The two-color frame paper reel 23 is a single-roll design. The two-color frame paper is cut into a fixed shape and length in the frame paper cutting and folding device 27, and the pressing of the folding dotted line and the bending of the edge are completed at the same time; the two-color frame paper reel 23 is divided into two colors from the middle, such as the first color on the left and the second color on the right, which correspond to the lining paper and cigarettes of the same color, respectively, so as to distinguish the taste, etc.; the cut single frame paper is sent to the transverse conveying track 28 through the frame paper guide roller 25 and the conveying pressure roller 26 to merge with the cigarette pack. During the conveying process of the transverse conveying track 28, the two frame papers need to complete the accurate positioning of the center distance. This process involves the adjustment of the center distance of the frame paper to ensure that it is consistent with the conveying center of the lining paper forming cigarette pack in the first cigarette conveying track 21 and the second cigarette conveying track 22. During the conveying process, through automation and precision control, the cigarette box packaging machine efficiently completes the conveying and combination of the two frame papers and the two lining paper forming cigarette packs, respectively, to meet the continuity and stability of the high-speed production of the packaging machine.

[0054] The liner paper fixed conveying and cutting system adopts a servo motor as a driving source, and performs phase adjustment through a PLC controller and a servo driver.

[0055] The liner paper fixed conveying and cutting system adopts a servo motor as a driving source, and performs phase adjustment through a PLC controller and a servo driver.

[0056] Preferably, a formula is designed to calculate the phase adjustment of paper conveying, PLC controller, and servo drive; the formula is: Wherein, v: paper conveying speed (unit: m / s); TPLC: PLC controller scanning period (unit: s); Tservo: servo drive response time (unit: s); φ: servo motor angular velocity (unit: radians / s).

[0057] Among them, the formula The design steps are:

[0058] (1) Calculate the distance the paper moves in one PLC cycle:

[0059] (2) Calculate the distance the servo drive moves in one cycle:

[0060] (3) Calculate the phase difference: The phase difference Δφ is estimated by the relative movement distance between the servo drive and the PLC controller; assuming that the phase difference is in degrees:

[0061] (4) Adjusting the phase: To ensure synchronization, the phase of the servo drive needs to be adjusted; the adjusted phase φadj can be expressed as: φadj = φcurrent + Δφ, where φcurrent is the current phase;

[0062] Combining the above steps, we get a complete formula to calculate the required phase adjustment. This formula provides a method to estimate how many degrees of phase adjustment are needed to the servo drive to ensure synchronization with the paper feed given the PLC controller cycle and servo drive response time. In actual application, adjustments need to be made based on the specific equipment performance and working environment. In addition, factors such as paper acceleration, deceleration, and load changes need to be considered.

[0063] The packaging method for cigarette boxes using the dual-channel modular cigarette box packaging mechanism comprises the following steps:

[0064] The cigarettes of the first color in the first cigarette storage cabinet 1 pass through the first cigarette conveyor belt 3 and enter the first cigarette passage 5, where they are sorted and arranged on the guide rail 8. The cigarettes of the second color in the second cigarette storage cabinet 2 pass through the second cigarette conveyor belt 4 and enter the second cigarette passage 6, where they are sorted and arranged on the guide rail 8.
