Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette monitoring, and in particular relates to a method for calculating cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption. Background Art

[0002] With the digital transformation of cigarette manufacturing enterprises, digital control of all production links is required. In the cigarette production stage, it is necessary to accurately calculate the consumption of cigarette paper and the output of cigarettes, so as to optimize the preparation of cigarette auxiliary materials and the calculation method of output consumption. In the current cigarette manufacturing field, there is no effective and accurate method to calculate the consumption of cigarette paper auxiliary materials. The approximate auxiliary material consumption can only be calculated by the approximate number of cigarette paper rolls consumed (4000-6000 meters per roll).

[0003] Calculating the consumption based on the number of rolls of cigarette paper and tipping paper used in the production process cannot, on the one hand, accurately calculate the exact consumption in the cigarette production process, and on the other hand, cannot calculate the real-time consumption in the cigarette rolling and tipping paper production process.

[0004] The existing cigarette rolling equipment does not have a dedicated cigarette auxiliary material consumption calculation device, nor does it have a corresponding auxiliary material calculation function. The consumption of cigarettes in the cigarette rolling process can only be calculated by dividing the total number of cigarettes produced by the unit after the end of the month by the number of cigarette paper and cork paper rolls consumed. This can be used to roughly calculate the monthly consumption of the corresponding unit at the end of each month. The existing technology for calculating the auxiliary material consumption of the rolling unit has the following two defects:

[0005] (1) The current calculation method of dividing the number of rolls of cigarette paper and tipping paper consumed by the total number of cigarettes produced cannot accurately calculate the total consumption of the unit.

[0006] (2) The current calculation method of dividing the number of rolls of cigarette paper and tipping paper consumed by the total number of cigarettes produced cannot calculate the unit consumption of production during the shift in real time. Summary of the invention

The following embodiments are merely exemplary and can only be used to explain and illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but cannot be construed as limiting the technical solution of the present invention.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a method for calculating cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption, which adopts the following steps: Press the start button:

[0042] S1, determining whether the cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption calculation device is in the start-up state, if so, proceeding to step S2;

[0043] S2, judging whether the tipping paper detection device and the cigarette paper detection device are working normally, if so, proceeding to step S3;

[0044] In this application, in step S2, it is determined whether the tipping paper detection device is working normally, through the following steps:

[0045] S21, determine whether the tipping paper is detected, if yes, proceed to step S22, if no, return to step S1.

[0046] S22, determine whether the paper pressing wheel is pressed down, if so, go to step S23, if not, return to step S1.

[0048] S24, reading the reference diameter of the paper feed roller and calculating the tipping paper consumption.

[0049] In this application, in step S2, it is determined whether the cigarette paper detection device is working properly, through the following steps:

[0050] S25: Determine whether cigarette paper is detected. If yes, proceed to step S26; if no, return to step S1.

[0051] S26, judging whether the cloth pulley pulse is detected, if the cloth pulley pulse is detected, the second pulse counter is incremented by 1, if not, returning to step S1.

[0052] S27, reading the base diameter of the cloth belt wheel and calculating the cigarette paper consumption.

[0053] S3. The tipping paper consumption and cigarette paper consumption are respectively uploaded to the industrial computer.

[0054] S4. Obtain the total number of cigarettes produced and calculate the real-time tipping paper consumption and cigarette paper consumption.

[0055] S5. Obtain system time and shift time and judge. If not, repeat steps S1 to S5 until system time = shift time. If so, both the first pulse counter and the second pulse counter are reset and the process ends.

[0056] In this application, the consumption of tipping paper and cigarette paper are calculated as follows:

[0057] L=Ф×π×N, where L is the consumption of tipping paper or cigarette paper, Ф is the diameter of the paper supply roller or the diameter of the cloth belt wheel, and N is the pulse of the first metal sensor or the third metal sensor received by the input end of the PLC controller.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption calculation method of the present application is implemented by a cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption calculation device, specifically:

[0059] A cigarette paper auxiliary material consumption calculation device comprises a tipping paper consumption calculation device and a cigarette paper consumption calculation device.

[0060] The tipping paper consumption calculation device of the present application includes a paper supply roller 9, a first metal sheet 11, a first metal sensor 14, an L-shaped bracket 12, a second metal sensor 17, a paper pressing roller 10 and a first photoelectric sensor 18. The first metal sheet 11 is a metal strip, which is directly welded to the paper supply roller 9 to ensure the synchronization of the two. The first metal sheet 11 of the present application is welded to the side wall near the end of the paper supply roller 9. Such a setting can ensure that the input of the tipping paper 13 is not hindered and is not within the range of the tipping paper to avoid affecting or damaging the tipping paper.

[0061] The first metal sensor 14 is fixed on the L-shaped bracket 12, and the L-shaped bracket 12 is fixed on the back plate of the cigarette making machine. The first metal sensor 14 cooperates with the first metal sheet 11 to capture the pulse signal generated by the paper feeding roller. In order to ensure the accuracy of signal capture, the distance between the end of the first metal sensor 14 and the first metal sheet 11 is 2mm. When the paper pressing roller and the paper feeding roller rotate synchronously, the tipping paper is pressed for transportation. Every time the tipping paper feeding roller rotates one circle, the first metal sensor is triggered by the first metal sheet once, generating a high-level signal. At the same time, the first metal sensor transmits the high-level signal to the PLC controller 15 for processing.

[0062] In the present application, the second metal sensor 17 is arranged on the back plate of the cigarette making machine and cooperates with the paper pressing roller 10 to detect whether the paper pressing roller 10 is in the working position. The first photoelectric sensor 18 is arranged at the front end position where the tipping paper enters the paper feeding roller.

[0063] The first photoelectric sensor is arranged at the front end position where the tipping paper enters the paper feeding roller, and is used for detecting the tipping paper.

[0064] In the present application, the cigarette paper consumption measuring device includes a second metal sheet 2, a cloth belt wheel 1, a third metal sensor 3, a tensioning wheel 4, a lower guide roller 5, a left guide roller 6, a right guide roller 7 and a second photoelectric sensor 8. The cloth belt wheel 1 is installed on the cigarette making machine, and the second metal sheet 2 is an arc-shaped metal sheet, which occupies one-third of the arc of the outer circle of the cloth belt wheel. The second metal sheet 2 is installed on the outer circle of the cloth belt wheel 1, and the third metal sensor 3 is installed on the base of the cigarette making machine. The end of the third metal sensor 3 corresponds to the cloth belt wheel 1, and the distance between the end of the third metal sensor 3 and the cloth belt wheel 1 is 3-5mm. The tensioning wheel 4, the lower guide roller 5, the left guide roller 6 and the right guide roller 7 are all arranged on the cigarette making machine above the cloth belt wheel side, the tensioning wheel is arranged between the lower guide roller and the cloth belt wheel, the lower guide roller is arranged at the lower right of the left guide roller, the lower guide roller, the left guide roller and the right guide roller are used to support the cloth belt to rotate counterclockwise, and the second photoelectric sensor is installed on the base of the cigarette making machine at the lower right of the right guide roller.

[0065] In the present application, the first metal sensor 14 , the second metal sensor 17 , the first photoelectric sensor 18 , the third metal sensor 3 and the second photoelectric sensor 8 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller 15 , and the PLC controller 15 is electrically connected to the industrial computer 16 .

[0066] In the present application, the first metal sensor, the second metal sensor and the third metal sensor are all high-frequency metal sensors.

[0067] In the present application, a touch screen is included, and the touch screen is connected to the PLC controller and the industrial control electromechanical signal respectively.

[0068] The PLC controller of the present application is the core of the entire measurement system and is responsible for receiving and processing the pulse signal transmitted by the metal sensor. The industrial computer 16 adopts a touch screen or a computer interface to provide an intuitive and easy-to-use operation interface. The interface displays the consumption of tipping paper calculated by the PLC, allowing the user to input parameters such as the diameter Ф of the tipping paper feed roller and the shift setting, and can also provide additional functions such as historical data query and abnormal consumption alarm prompt.

[0069] At the same time, the consumption of equipment's kraft paper can be collected in real time through Ethernet. If there is any abnormality, the equipment management personnel can intervene in time to effectively reduce material consumption.

[0070] The PLC controller communicates with the touch screen via RS485. The touch screen can set the "fabric pulley diameter benchmark" according to the cloth pulley size of different units. The touch screen can display the real-time "cigarette paper consumption" data of the shift, and has corresponding "start" and "reset" buttons for calibrating the cloth pulley diameter and manually clearing the consumption data of cigarette paper auxiliary materials. The PLC controller interacts with the industrial computer in real time through the network cable, transmits auxiliary material consumption to the industrial computer, and the industrial computer calibrates the system time of the touch screen and PLC controller in real time.

[0071] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
