[0052] See also Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The structural distribution diagram of the tobacco sheet glue processing system provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a tobacco sheet glue processing system, including: a glue drying room 1000, a tunnel conveyor 2000, a glue cutting machine 3000, a material taking conveyor 4000 and a grabbing mechanism 5000.

[0053] A heating space is provided inside the glue drying room 1000 , and a tunnel entrance 1001 and a tunnel exit 1002 are provided on the glue drying room 1000 ; the tunnel entrance 1001 and the tunnel exit 1002 are both connected to the inside of the heating space.

[0054] The tunnel conveyor 2000 is set up throughout the glue drying room 1000. The tunnel conveyor 2000 enters the heating space from the tunnel entrance 1001 and exits the heating space from the tunnel exit 1002; the tunnel conveyor 2000 is used to directional convey the tobacco sheet glue so that the tobacco sheet glue can be dried and heated in the heating space. The glue drying room 1000 is equipped with a precise temperature control system, which can flexibly and stably adjust the temperature in the heating space according to the characteristics of the tobacco sheet glue and the drying process requirements, to ensure that the tobacco sheet glue is heated evenly during the drying process, and to avoid quality problems caused by local overheating or overcooling. The tunnel conveyor 2000 has a stable conveying capacity and can continuously and accurately directional convey the tobacco sheet glue at a preset speed and direction. During the conveying process, the tobacco sheet glue fully completes the drying and heating steps in the heating space, laying a good foundation for the subsequent processing flow.

[0055] The material taking conveyor 4000 includes a waiting position 4001 , and is used to receive the tobacco sheet glue at the tunnel exit 1002 , and move the tobacco sheet glue to the waiting position 4001 .

[0056] The grabbing mechanism 5000 is used to place the tobacco sheet glue on the to-be-grabbed station 4001 into the glue cutting machine 3000. The glue cutting machine 3000 is used to cut the tobacco sheet glue into pieces of glue.

[0057] In some embodiments, the grasping mechanism 5000 is equipped with a sensing device and a high-precision robotic arm, which can quickly identify the position and posture of the tobacco sheet glue, and perform precise grasping and transfer, effectively improving production efficiency and accuracy.

[0058] The rubber cutting machine 3000 can quickly and stably cut tobacco rubber sheets into rubber pieces of uniform size, meeting the requirements for rubber pieces specifications in different production links.

[0059] The entire tobacco sheet glue processing system realizes automated operation, reduces the impact of human factors on the production process, improves the consistency and reliability of production, and is conducive to large-scale industrial production. The coordinated work of the glue drying room 1000 and the roadway conveyor 2000 realizes the continuous drying and heating of the tobacco sheet glue, greatly improving the drying efficiency. The cooperation of the reclaiming conveyor 4000 and the grabbing mechanism 5000 ensures the precise transfer of the tobacco sheet glue from the glue drying room 1000 to the glue cutting machine 3000, reduces manual intervention, reduces labor intensity, and also improves the safety and stability of the production process.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned cigarette sheet glue processing system further includes a material frame 6000 and a material frame conveyor 6001. The material frame 6000 is used to carry and transport the cigarette sheet glue, and the material frame 6000 should be designed to have a suitable size and shape to stably carry the cigarette sheet glue and facilitate cooperation with the material frame conveyor 6001.

[0061] The material frame 6000 has to bear the weight of the cigarette sheet glue and possible environmental factors such as high temperature. The material frame 6000 can be made of a material that is resistant to high temperature and corrosion and has a certain toughness, such as specific engineering plastics or metal alloys.

[0062] The material frame conveyor 6001 should be laid with tracks on the ground or at a suitable location in the workshop so that the material frame conveyor 6001 can run along a fixed path to ensure that the material frame 6000 can accurately move from the entrance end to the empty frame placement station 6002. The length and direction of the track should be reasonably planned according to the layout of the workshop and the production process, so as to minimize the occupied space and facilitate the connection with other equipment.

[0063] The material frame conveyor 6001 is provided with an empty frame placement station 6002, and the material frame conveyor 6001 is docked with the inlet end of the material taking conveyor 4000. The material frame conveyor 6001 can move from the material taking conveyor 4000 to the empty frame placement station 6002 through the material frame conveyor 6001.

[0064] First, the material taking conveyor 4000 moves the material frame 6000 carrying the cigarette sheet glue to the waiting grasping station 4001, and the grasping mechanism 5000 transfers the cigarette sheet glue to the glue cutting machine 3000, and the remaining empty material frame 6000 will be received by the material frame conveyor 6001, and the material frame conveyor 6001 transfers the material frame 6000 to the empty frame placement station 6002. The empty material frame 6000 on the empty frame placement station 6002 can wait for subsequent processes to be recycled.

[0065] The arrangement of the material frame 6000 and the material frame conveyor 6001 enables the tobacco sheet glue to be collected and transported in time after drying and cutting, without frequent manual handling, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the entire tobacco sheet glue processing system and improving production efficiency. The inlet end of the material frame conveyor 6001 is docked with the waiting grabbing station 4001 of the material taking conveyor 4000, and the material frame 6000 can be directed to move to the empty frame placement station 6002, realizing the rapid transfer of tobacco sheet glue between different devices and reducing waiting time.

[0066] The material frame 6000 and the material frame conveyor 6001 realize the automatic transfer of the tobacco sheet glue, which greatly reduces the workload of manual handling, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and also reduces the demand for manpower and labor costs.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, a material frame sensing mechanism is provided on the lane conveyor 2000, and the material frame sensing mechanism is respectively provided near the outside of the glue drying room 1000 and near the lane entrance 1001, and near the lane exit 1002 in the heating space of the glue drying room 1000. Such a setting can perform sensing detection before the material frame 6000 enters the glue drying room 1000 and when it approaches the exit in the glue drying room 1000, so as to ensure that the position of the material frame 6000 is accurately controlled. A sensing barcode is provided on the material frame 6000, and the material frame sensing mechanism outputs a control signal by detecting the sensing barcode, so as to control the directional transportation of the material frame 6000 by the lane conveyor 2000, realize the precise control of the transportation of the material frame 6000, and ensure that the material frame 6000 can move on the lane conveyor 2000 according to the preset path. In some embodiments, the sensing barcode can be set as an RFID chip (radio frequency identification chip) and applied to other states.

[0068] In some embodiments, an RFID chip is installed on the material frame 6000 to input and identify the information of the rubber material (smoked rubber sheet). Various information of the rubber material, such as rubber material type, batch, production time, etc., can be stored and quickly read through the RFID chip (radio frequency identification chip), which is convenient for tracking and managing the rubber material during the production process.

[0069] When the glue needs to be baked, the factory MES system (Manufacturing Execution System) will make an information call. After the AGV management system receives the MES call signal, it calls the transport vehicle 9000 under the system. In some cases, the transport vehicle 9000 is selected as an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) to perform the material picking task. After the transport vehicle 9000 reads the RFID information of the glue frame and completes the material picking task, it feeds back the information to the MES system, realizing the automated process from the storage of the glue to the use of the glue, reducing the time and workload of manual search and handling.

[0070] The transport vehicle 9000 transports the material frame 6000 to the tunnel conveyor 2000 at the entrance of the glue drying room 1000. The tunnel conveyor 2000 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor and an RFID chip reading device, that is, a material frame sensing mechanism. After the material frame sensing mechanism identifies the material, it automatically opens the entrance of the glue drying room 1000 through the control system. At the same time, the tunnel conveyor 2000 starts to send the material frame 6000 into the glue drying room 1000, realizing the automatic control of the material frame 6000 entering the glue drying room 1000, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of production.

[0071] According to production needs, several tunnel conveyors 2000 are installed in the glue drying room 1000. Photoelectric sensors are installed on the tunnel conveyors 2000 to detect and control the operating status and position of the material frame 6000. They can monitor the operation of the material frame 6000 in the glue drying room 1000 in real time to ensure that the material frame 6000 is in the correct position and operating status during the glue drying process, thereby ensuring the glue drying effect.

[0072] The coordination of the material frame sensing mechanism and the sensing barcode, as well as the setting of sensors and control systems in each link, realizes the precise control and automated operation of the material frame 6000 from storage to entering the glue drying room 1000 and then transporting in the glue drying room 1000, reducing manual intervention, reducing the possibility of human error, and improving the accuracy and stability of production. The automated material collection, feeding and glue drying process, as well as the effective monitoring and control of the operating status of the material frame 6000 in the glue drying room 1000, make the entire tobacco sheet glue processing process smoother, reduce waiting time and material handling time, greatly improve production efficiency, and facilitate large-scale industrial production.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, a glue supply mechanism 7000 is also included, and the glue supply mechanism 7000 includes a glue splicing station 7001 and a tray conveying station 7002 .

[0074] Among them, after the material frame 6000 carrying the tobacco sheet glue completes the heating of the tobacco sheet glue, the tobacco sheet glue is grabbed and enters the glue cutting process. The empty material frame 6000 is recycled, and the empty glue splicing tray is used to carry the subsequent glue fragments after the glue is cut. The empty glue splicing tray is first placed on the tray conveying station 7002 by the transport vehicle 9000, and then the glue splicing tray is transferred to the glue splicing station 7001 to receive the glue fragments. After the weighing device 7003 completes the weighing, the fully loaded glue splicing tray is sent to the subsequent standby station by the transport vehicle 9000.

[0075] At the exit of the glue cutting machine 3000, the position of the glue splicing station 7001 is precisely set to match the height and position of the discharge port of the glue cutting machine 3000, so as to ensure that the broken glue can smoothly fall into the glue splicing tray. An inclined discharge slide can be set to connect the exit of the glue cutting machine 3000 with the glue splicing tray on the glue splicing station 7001, so as to guide the broken glue to accurately enter the glue splicing tray.

[0076] A suitable conveying device is also provided from the gluing station 7001 to the pallet conveying station 7002, such as a transport vehicle 9000, a roller conveyor, etc., to realize the movement of the material frame 6000 between the two stations. According to the layout and production process of the factory, a reasonable driving path of the transport vehicle 9000 or the direction of the roller can be planned to ensure that the gluing pallet can efficiently reach the pallet conveying station 7002.

[0077] Photoelectric sensors or position sensing switches are respectively provided at the empty frame placement station 6002, the glue splicing station 7001 and the tray conveying station 7002 to detect the position of the glue splicing tray. When the glue splicing tray arrives at the corresponding station, the sensor can send a signal in time to notify the control system to perform the next operation, such as stopping the conveying, starting the glue splicing or glue supplying action, etc.

[0078] In some cases, in order to compensate for the height difference between the splicing tray and the splicing station 7001, a lifting and transplanting machine should be provided to adjust the lifting and lowering of the splicing tray. The specific setting method of the lifting and transplanting machine can refer to the existing technology and will not be described in detail in this article.

[0079] In the control system of the glue supply mechanism 7000, communication interfaces with sensors and conveying devices at each station are set to achieve precise control of the movement process of the glue tray. By programming the parameters such as the start and stop conditions and the running speed of each conveying device, it is ensured that the glue tray moves between each station according to the predetermined process and rhythm.

[0080] The continuous and automated operation of the glue splicing tray from empty frame placement to glue splicing and then to glue supply is realized, so that the broken glue can be received and transported in time after cutting, without frequent manual intervention, ensuring the smoothness of the entire tobacco sheet glue processing system from glue cutting to glue supply, improving production efficiency and reducing production downtime.

[0081] The precise correspondence between the glue splicing station 7001 and the exit of the glue cutting machine 3000 ensures that the broken glue pieces can accurately fall into the glue splicing tray, avoiding the spillage and waste of the broken glue pieces during the splicing process. It also ensures the integrity and cleanliness of the broken glue pieces, which is conducive to improving the quality stability of the products in subsequent production links.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to the attached specification Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the glue drying room provided in the embodiment of the present application. It is shown that according to the space size of the glue drying room 1000 and the requirements of the tobacco sheet glue drying process, the heating space is reasonably divided into at least two heating zones. For example, if the glue drying room 1000 has a large space, it can be equally divided into at least two heating zones along the length direction; if the temperature requirements of different batches or types of tobacco sheet glue are different, irregular divisions can also be made according to actual conditions.

[0083] A heating controller 1004 is installed at a suitable location inside each heating zone, such as near a heating source or a temperature monitoring point. The heating controller 1004 needs to be connected to the overall temperature control system of the glue drying room 1000 for unified regulation and data transmission.

[0084] At the connection of the heating partitions, usually at the boundary of the partitions, a partition door 1003 is installed. The partition door 1003 should ensure good sealing and effectively block the heat transfer between different partitions. For example, a high temperature resistant rubber strip or sealant can be used for edge sealing.

[0085] The partition door 1003 is installed at the door frame position at the tunnel entrance 1001 and the tunnel exit 1002 to ensure that the partition door 1003 can completely cover the entrance and exit and play a good isolation role. The partition door 1003 should be coordinated with the operation of the tunnel conveyor 2000, the material frame conveyor 6001 and other equipment. For example, at the position where the tunnel conveyor 2000 passes through the partition door 1003, a suitable opening should be set and a sealing device should be installed to prevent heat leakage. At the same time, the opening and closing of the partition door 1003 should be linked with the operation signal of the conveyor to ensure smooth material transportation. After the partition door 1003 at the tunnel exit 1002 is opened, the material frame conveyor 6001 quickly takes away the material frame 6000 and then closes the partition door 1003. Each partition door 1003 is equipped with a corresponding and independent control opening and closing system.

[0086] Different types or batches of tobacco sheet glue may have different requirements for drying temperature. By setting up multiple heating zones and equipping them with respective heating controllers 1004, precise temperature adjustment can be performed in different areas for different tobacco sheet glues to improve the drying quality.

[0087] Each heating zone can independently control the temperature, which helps to achieve a more uniform temperature distribution in a smaller space, avoid local overheating or overcooling, and further ensure the consistency of the drying effect of the tobacco sheet glue.

[0088] The partition door 1003 can effectively block the heat exchange between different heating partitions and between the heating space and the outside world, reduce heat loss, and reduce energy consumption. In particular, the partition door 1003 is arranged at the tunnel entrance 1001 and the tunnel exit 1002, which can minimize the loss of heat when materials enter and exit.

[0089] When some heating zones are not needed, the heating devices of the corresponding zones can be turned off and isolated by the partition door 1003 to prevent heat from spreading in the entire glue drying room 1000, thereby achieving rational use of energy.

[0090] Multiple heating zones can simultaneously carry out drying operations of different stages or different types of tobacco sheet glue, realize parallel production, improve overall drying efficiency, and increase output per unit time.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the grasping mechanism 5000 includes: a grasping robot and an identification module arranged on the grasping robot. According to the weight, size and spatial arrangement requirements of the tobacco sheet glue, a suitable mechanical arm is selected. For example, for heavy tobacco sheet glue, a six-axis mechanical arm with a strong load capacity can be selected; for occasions requiring high-precision grasping, a mechanical arm with higher repeatability can be selected. The visual sensor is installed at the front end of the mechanical arm or the top of the fuselage of the grasping robot so that it can accurately identify the position and contour of the rubber material. The laser sensor can be installed on the side or bottom of the mechanical arm to detect the distance of the tobacco sheet glue at different angles to ensure that comprehensive spatial information is obtained. The recognition module can select a combination of various types of sensors, such as a visual sensor (such as an industrial camera) to obtain the appearance image information of the tobacco sheet glue so as to identify its shape, position and posture; it can also be equipped with a laser sensor to accurately measure the distance and spatial position relationship between the tobacco sheet glue and the grasping robot by emitting and receiving laser beams. A dedicated data processing unit is configured for the recognition module, which can be integrated into the control system of the grasping robot or connected to the control system as an independent module. The data processing unit is responsible for analyzing and processing the image and distance data obtained by the sensor, extracting the key features and position information of the cigarette sheet glue, and generating identification information.

[0092] According to the shape and characteristics of the tobacco sheet glue, select the appropriate end effector, such as pneumatic clamps, electric clamps, etc. If the surface of the tobacco sheet glue is relatively smooth, a pneumatic clamp with a needle can be selected to ensure the stability of the grasping.

[0093] The recognition module can quickly detect the position and status of the cigarette sheet glue. The grasping robot can respond quickly based on this information and quickly complete the grasping action, reducing waiting and positioning time and improving the production efficiency of the entire cigarette sheet glue processing system.

[0094] It can adapt to tobacco sheet glue of different shapes, sizes and placement postures. Regardless of whether the tobacco sheet glue is placed regularly or randomly, the recognition module can accurately identify it, and the grasping robot can adjust the grasping strategy accordingly, making the entire system more adaptable and flexible, and able to meet the needs of different production scenarios.

[0095] The automation of cigarette sheet glue grabbing is realized, which reduces the manual operation links, reduces labor costs and workers' labor intensity, and also avoids the safety risks that may be caused by manual operation, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the production process.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, the weighing device 7003 is installed under the glue splicing tray of the glue splicing station 7001 or on the structure supporting the glue splicing tray, ensuring that the glue splicing tray is placed in a position where the weighing device 7003 can accurately measure and does not affect the normal receiving of the glue pieces and subsequent movement of the glue splicing tray. For example, the load-bearing platform of the weighing device 7003 can be integrated with the supporting structure of the glue splicing station 7001, so that the glue splicing tray is stably placed on the load-bearing platform for weighing.

[0097] The weighing device 7003 needs to be connected to the control system of the entire system, and data transmission can be achieved through wired or wireless means. If a wired connection is used, an industrial-grade data cable can be used to connect the weighing device 7003 to the control center of the system; if a wireless connection is used, a suitable wireless communication module, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or ZigBee, can be selected to ensure that the weighing data can be transmitted to the control system in real time so that it can be integrated and processed with data from other links.

[0098] The weighing device 7003 should work in coordination with the other parts of the glue cutting machine 3000 and the glue supply mechanism 7000. It can be linked with the control system of the glue cutting machine 3000, and the weighing device 7003 is automatically triggered to weigh after the glue cutting machine 3000 completes a glue cutting operation. At the same time, it cooperates with the subsequent process of the glue supply mechanism 7000 to determine whether the glue splicing tray reaches the weight standard required by the tray conveying station 7002 based on the weighing data, thereby controlling the movement of the glue splicing tray.

[0099] Through real-time weighing at the glue splicing station 7001, the weight of the broken glue carried by each glue splicing tray can be accurately known. This helps to strictly follow the production formula and process requirements during the glue supply process, accurately provide the right amount of glue to the subsequent process, avoid affecting product quality due to excessive or insufficient glue supply, and ensure the stability of product quality.

[0100] Accurate weighing data can make the production process more efficient and orderly. For example, when the weighing device 7003 detects that the glue splicing tray has reached a predetermined weight, the system can automatically control the glue splicing tray to move to the tray conveying station 7002, eliminating the need for frequent manual inspections and judgments, reducing manual intervention, and improving the automation and production efficiency of the entire glue supply process.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, a positioning conveyor 8000 is provided between the grabbing mechanism 5000 and the rubber cutter 3000, a limiting station 8001 is provided on the positioning conveyor 8000, and a limiting mechanism 8002 and a grabbing mechanism are provided on the limiting station 8001.

[0102] A suitable position is selected on the positioning conveyor 8000 to set a limit station 8001, which can generally be set at one end close to the entrance of the rubber cutting machine 3000, so as to facilitate position adjustment before the tobacco sheet rubber is about to enter the rubber cutting machine 3000.

[0103] The limiting mechanism 8002 is installed on the limiting station 8001. Multiple limiting components, such as limiting blocks, limiting rods, etc., can be installed on the edge or specific position of the limiting station 8001 as needed to limit and adjust the tobacco sheet glue from different directions. The spring mechanical limiting mechanism 8002 and other adjustable limiting methods are used to adapt to different placement angles and positions of the tobacco sheet glue through the elastic force of the spring. Under the premise of not blocking the tobacco sheet glue, it is adjusted to a suitable posture so that it can accurately enter the glue cutting machine 3000.

[0104] Sensors, such as photoelectric sensors or pressure sensors, are installed on the conveyor belt of the positioning conveyor 8000 to sense the position and state of the cigarette sheet glue so as to accurately control the start, stop and speed of the conveyor belt.

[0105] By setting the limit station 8001 and the limit mechanism 8002, the position of the cigarette sheet rubber can be accurately adjusted so that it maintains an accurate position and posture when entering the rubber cutter 3000, which is convenient for the gripping mechanism to grip, improves the accuracy and consistency of rubber cutting, and ensures that the size of the small rubber blocks cut out is more uniform and meets the quality standards. Accurate positioning and posture adjustment can prevent the cigarette sheet rubber from colliding or getting stuck with the parts of the rubber cutter 3000 when entering the rubber cutter 3000, reduce the wear and failure rate of the equipment, and extend the service life of the rubber cutter 3000 and other equipment.

[0106] The positioning conveyor 8000 can quickly and stably transport the tobacco sheet glue from the gripping mechanism 5000 to the glue cutter 3000. The coordinated work of the sensor and the gripping mechanism 5000 realizes the automation of tobacco sheet glue transportation and loading, reduces manual intervention, improves production efficiency, and reduces labor intensity.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present application, the tobacco sheet glue processing system also includes a main control mechanism, which is electrically connected to the glue drying room 1000, the tunnel conveyor 2000, the glue cutting machine 3000, the material taking conveyor 4000 and the grabbing mechanism 5000 respectively.

[0108] Connecting with the glue drying room 1000: Install environmental monitoring equipment such as temperature sensors and humidity sensors in the glue drying room 1000, and these sensors are connected to the input port of the main control mechanism so as to transmit the environmental data in the glue drying room 1000 to the main control mechanism in real time. At the same time, the output port of the main control mechanism is connected to the heating equipment, ventilation equipment and other control components of the glue drying room 1000 to achieve accurate control of environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity of the glue drying room 1000.

[0109] A connection is established between the motor controller of the lane conveyor 2000 and the main control mechanism, and the main control mechanism controls the running speed, start and stop and other operations of the lane conveyor 2000 by sending control signals to the motor controller. In addition, position sensors are installed at key positions of the lane conveyor 2000 to feed back the position information of the cigarette sheet glue on the conveyor to the main control mechanism.

[0110] The control circuit of the operation panel of the rubber cutter 3000 is connected to the main control mechanism, and the main control mechanism can send instructions to control the rubber cutting action, rubber cutting frequency and other parameters of the rubber cutter 3000. At the same time, the pressure sensor, tool status sensor and the like on the rubber cutter 3000 are connected to the main control mechanism, so that the main control mechanism can understand the working status of the rubber cutter 3000 in real time.

[0111] Similar to the tunnel conveyor 2000, the main control mechanism is connected to the motor control system of the reclaiming conveyor 4000 to control its operation, and a material detection sensor is installed on the reclaiming conveyor 4000 to transmit information such as the presence or absence of materials to the main control mechanism.

[0112] The main control mechanism is connected to the controller of the gripping mechanism 5000 in communication, and can send gripping instructions, movement instructions, etc. to the gripping mechanism 5000 to accurately control the action of the gripping mechanism 5000. The identification module and position feedback module on the gripping mechanism 5000 are also connected to the main control mechanism, so that the main control mechanism can obtain the identification information of the cigarette sheet glue and the position information of the gripping mechanism 5000.

[0113] When the tobacco sheet glue in the glue drying room 1000 reaches the preset baking time and state, the main control mechanism controls the lane conveyor 2000 to convey the tobacco sheet glue to the material conveyor 4000, and then the grabbing mechanism 5000 grabs the tobacco sheet glue according to the identification information and places it on the limit station 8001 of the positioning conveyor 8000. Then, the positioning conveyor 8000 conveys the tobacco sheet glue to the entrance of the glue cutting machine 3000, and the main control mechanism controls the glue cutting machine 3000 to cut the tobacco sheet glue.

[0114] During the whole process, the main control mechanism monitors the operating status of each device and the data fed back by the sensors in real time. If the temperature of the glue drying room 1000 is abnormal, the main control mechanism will automatically adjust the power of the heating equipment; if the knife pressure of the glue cutting machine 3000 is insufficient, the main control mechanism will adjust the pressure of the hydraulic drive device.

[0115] By precisely controlling the operation of each device, the processing flow of tobacco sheet glue is automated and continuous, reducing the time and links of manual operation, and greatly improving production efficiency. It can accurately control the temperature and humidity of the glue drying room 1000 and the cutting parameters of the glue cutting machine 3000, ensuring that the baking effect and cutting size of the tobacco sheet glue meet the standards, and improving the stability of product quality. It reduces the direct participation of manual operation in each link, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and also reduces the safety risks caused by manual operation errors.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present application, the tobacco sheet glue processing system further includes a transport device; the transport device is used to transport the material frame 6000 to the aisle conveyor 2000 , and the transport device is used to receive the tobacco sheet glue on the pallet conveying station 7002 .

[0117] If the transport equipment uses a track-type trolley or similar device, it is necessary to set up a precise track docking mechanism near the roadway conveyor 2000. Ensure that the height, width, slope and other parameters of the track match the feed end of the roadway conveyor 2000 so that the frame can be smoothly transferred from the transport equipment to the roadway conveyor 2000. A positioning sensor can be installed at the end of the track. When the transport equipment reaches the docking position, the sensor is triggered to stop the transport equipment accurately.

[0118] A pushing device, such as a pneumatic push rod or an electric push rod, is installed at the joint between the transport equipment and the lane conveyor 2000. When the transport equipment stops at the docking position, the push rod is started to smoothly push the frame with the cigarette sheet glue onto the lane conveyor 2000. In order to prevent the frame from shifting during the pushing process, a guide clamp can be set at the front end of the push rod to match the edge of the frame to play a role in straightening and guiding.

[0119] A special positioning area is set for the transport equipment at the pallet conveying station 7002. The transport equipment can be accurately parked next to the pallet conveying station 7002 by setting a positioning slot on the ground or installing a positioning laser sensor around the pallet conveying station 7002, so as to conveniently receive the tobacco sheet glue.

[0120] The automatic transportation of frames and cigarette glue sheets between different stations is realized, which reduces the manual handling process, makes the logistics of the entire cigarette glue sheet processing system smoother and more efficient, and improves the overall automation level. The frames can be quickly and accurately transported to the lane conveyor 2000, and the cigarette glue sheets from the pallet conveying station 7002 can be received in time, which shortens the waiting time of the cigarette glue sheets between stations, speeds up the production process, and thus improves production efficiency.

[0121] It reduces the workload of manual participation in the transportation process, reduces the company's human cost investment, and also reduces the labor intensity of workers, allowing workers to devote more energy to links that require more manual operation and monitoring.

[0122] The setting of the transport equipment makes the layout and production process of the tobacco sheet glue processing system more flexible. According to the actual situation of the production site and the expansion needs of future production scale, the operation path and docking position of the transport equipment can be conveniently adjusted to adapt to different production processes and equipment layout changes.

[0123] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0124] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
