The design of the main structure of the equipment of the present invention is the key to ensure that the manipulator module 5 accurately and efficiently completes the task of rotating and mixing cigarette packs. The main structure of the equipment of the present invention not only needs to meet the automatic conveying, rotation and arrangement of various types of cigarette packs, but also ensures work efficiency and accuracy, and avoids the wrong loading and missing of cigarette packs.
[0038] Wherein, the rotation transmission module 4 is as follows Figure 3As shown, it includes: a cylindrical fixed platform 41, a polyhedral rotating chassis 43 and a cuboid manipulator module frame 44; the fixed platform 41 and the rotating chassis 43 on the upper part thereof are connected by a hydraulic rod 42; a gear box is arranged inside the fixed platform 41. The rotating chassis 43 and the manipulator module frame 44 on the upper part thereof are connected by a coupling 47 and a rotating shaft 48, and the rotating chassis 43 and the manipulator module frame 44 are symmetrically provided with a first link bracket 45 and a second link bracket 46 at both ends thereof to fix the rotating chassis 43 and the manipulator module frame 44; the rotating chassis 43 and the manipulator module frame 44 are arranged in parallel, and are fixed and linked by the first link bracket 45 and the second link bracket 46 perpendicular to the two sides of the edge. The fixed platform 41 is fixed on the stabilizer 3, and the stabilizer 3 is fixed on the base 31; the base 31 is arranged at the vertical intersection of the first track 1 and the second track 2; the stabilizer 3 is installed on the base 31, in order to have sufficient strength and stability to support the weight of the two manipulator modules 5 and ensure the smooth, stable and high-speed rotation of the two manipulator modules 5. The base is located at the vertical intersection of the A track 1 and the B track 2. The two manipulator modules 5 are respectively arranged at the lower parts of the two ends of the manipulator module frame 44; a motor 50 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the upper surface of the manipulator module frame 44, and the rotating shaft 48 passes through the manipulator module frame 44 to connect the motor 50. Among them, rectangular manipulator movable grooves 441 are respectively opened at the lower parts of the two ends of the manipulator module frame 44, and the two manipulator modules 5 are respectively arranged in the manipulator movable grooves 441 and can move left and right in their respective manipulator movable grooves 441. The coupling 47 connects the motor 50 and the rotating shaft 48 to transmit torque, and drives the entire lower rotating chassis 43 and the manipulator module frame 44 to rotate 180 degrees. The motor 50 can select a suitable motor according to the required torque and speed, and design a control circuit to achieve accurate 180 degree rotation control.
[0039] Wherein, each manipulator module 5 is as follows Figure 4As shown, it includes: a left cardboard 51 and a right cardboard 52, a cardboard crossbeam 54, a left column 55, a right column 56 and a fixed crossbeam 57; the left cardboard 51 and the right cardboard 52 are arranged oppositely at the two ends of the lower part of the cardboard crossbeam 54; the cardboard crossbeam 54 is fixedly connected to the fixed crossbeam 57 on its upper part through the left column 55 and the right column 56; a connecting shaft 58 is arranged in the middle of the upper surface of the fixed crossbeam 57; the connecting shaft 58 is arranged at the two ends of the rotation transmission module 4. Among them, a rectangular cardboard slot 541 is opened at the lower end of the cardboard crossbeam 54, and the left cardboard 51 and the right cardboard 52 are connected in the cardboard slot 541 through mechanical components; the left cardboard 51 and the right cardboard 52 are of the same size and shape, and a buffer material 53 is arranged on their respective opposite surfaces. The gripping method of the manipulator module 5 is the clamping of the left card plate 51 and the right card plate 52, and the gripping action of the cigarette package is completed by the opening and closing horizontal movement of the left card plate 51 and the right card plate 52. For the design of the left card plate 51 and the right card plate 52, it is required that the buffer material 53 is arranged on the opposite surface of each of them, and it must have a certain strength and softness to achieve accurate clamping force to adapt to the shape and size of the cigarette package. The card plate beam 54 is a fixed horizontal device, and a rectangular card plate groove 541 is opened at its lower end and is connected to the left card plate 51 and the right card plate 52 through mechanical components, supporting the gripper to complete horizontal movement according to the preset width and parameters. The fixed beam 57 is also a fixed horizontal device, which is fixedly connected to the card plate beam 54 at the lower part through the left column 55 and the right column 56. The left column 55 and the right column 56 are located on both sides of the fixed beam 57 and the card plate beam 54, and are placed at a vertical angle at the bottom of the manipulator module frame 44. The position setting must satisfy the state that the entire rotating module can correspond to the position of the cigarette pack on the first track A and the second track B when it is periodically reciprocating at 180°, so that the gripper can accurately complete the gripping action. The left column 55 and the right column 56 are provided with a driving transmission device controlled by an automatic control system, which is connected to the motor 50 and is used to control the corresponding actions of the rotating transmission module 4 and the manipulator module 5.
[0040] Among them, a camera and a sensor (not marked in the drawings) are installed between the left card board 51 and the right card board 52 of the card board slot 541.
[0041] A detection device 12 is provided downstream of the first track A. Figure 1 shown.
[0042] Among them, a sealing ring 49 is arranged on the outer side of the rotating shaft 47 on the upper surface of the rotating chassis 43. The sealing ring 49 is located on the outer side of the rotating shaft 47 and is fixed on the upper surface of the lower rotating chassis 43 to prevent dust and tobacco from entering.
[0043] The control technology of the manipulator module 5 is a complex system that integrates multiple control strategies. It needs to have high-precision position control and stable speed control, and it also needs to integrate intelligent technology to improve the adaptive ability and intelligence level. The control technology of the manipulator module 5 mainly includes position control, speed control, and force control. 1. Position control: The present invention adopts a closed-loop control system, and obtains the position information of the left card plate 51 and the right card plate 52 of the manipulator module 5 in real time through sensors such as encoders or laser rangefinders, and adjusts the motion trajectory of the manipulator through a position control algorithm to ensure that it can accurately deliver the cigarette package to the next station. 2. Speed control: The speed control of the present invention is to ensure the stability and repeatability of the manipulator module 5 during the movement process, and combines position control and speed control to achieve smooth start, operation, and stop and other operation modes to ensure the smooth operation of the manipulator module 5. 3. Force control: By installing a tactile sensor, the control system of the present invention can accurately monitor and adjust the contact force between the left card plate 51 and the right card plate 52 of the manipulator module 5 and the cigarette package, and accurately adjust the gripping force to adapt to the physical characteristics of the cigarette package to avoid excessive compression or rupture.
[0044] The manipulator module 5 is the core component of the dual-track rotary manipulator cigarette pack mixing equipment of the present invention, and its main function is to realize the automatic grasping, rotation and placement of cigarette packs. When grasping and placing cigarette packs, it is necessary to ensure that the motion trajectory of the left card plate 51 and the right card plate 52 matches the position of the target cigarette pack. This requires the manipulator module 5 to be accurately positioned to ensure the accuracy of grasping. Positioning technology mainly includes visual positioning, sensor positioning and machine vision positioning. 1. Visual positioning is to capture images through a camera, and then determine the position of the manipulator through image processing technology. The advantage of this method is high precision, but it is greatly affected by factors such as ambient light and shadows. Therefore, it is necessary to equip it with a high-performance image processing algorithm to eliminate various interference factors. 2. Sensor positioning is to monitor the position and posture of the manipulator in real time through sensors installed at key parts of the manipulator. The advantages of this method are fast response speed and good real-time performance, but various sensors need to be accurately calibrated and maintained. 3. Machine vision positioning combines the advantages of visual positioning and sensor positioning, and realizes precise control of the position and posture of the manipulator through advanced image processing algorithms and sensor data. The advantages of this method are high precision, good real-time performance, and no influence from environmental factors. In the present invention, a camera and a sensor (not shown in the attached figure) are installed between the left card board 51 and the right card board 52 of the card board slot 541. The present invention adopts machine vision positioning technology; first, the image of the cigarette pack is captured by a high-definition camera, and then the position information of the cigarette pack is extracted by an image processing algorithm, and the motion trajectory of the manipulator module 5 is calculated by combining the sensor data installed in the card board slot 541, and finally the motion trajectory of the manipulator module 5 is adjusted by the control system to achieve precise positioning. In the implementation process, a deep learning algorithm is used to optimize the image processing algorithm and improve the positioning accuracy. At the same time, an optimized control algorithm is also used to improve the movement speed and accuracy of the manipulator.

[0049] (iv) The hydraulic rod 42 rises to a certain height, the rotary transmission module 4 rotates 180°, the hydraulic rod 42 descends again, and the manipulator module 5 that has grasped the first type of cigarette pack 11 or the second type of cigarette pack 22 descends to place the grasped first type of cigarette pack 11 or the second type of cigarette pack 22 at a set position on the first track 1;
[0050] (v) repeating steps iii and iv according to the type and quantity of cigarette packages to be mixed;
