[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the cigarette pack clamping and assembling machine 5 is used to combine a cigarette pack unit including four cigarette packs with a single empty pallet into a cargo unit, and output the cargo unit to the pallet loading device 6. In one embodiment of the present invention, the cargo unit has a length of 1450 mm, a width of 1200 mm, and a height of 1750 mm. It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the size of the cargo unit.

[0053] Furthermore, the pallet loading device 6 is used to automatically dock with the unmanned transport vehicle 7 so as to automatically transport the cargo unit on the pallet loading device 6 to the unmanned transport vehicle 7 .

[0054] Furthermore, the balanced AGV trolley is used to automatically unload and store the cargo units on the unmanned transport vehicle 7.

[0055] Furthermore, the manual clamping station 8 is used to load and unload cigarette pack units that need to be shipped out of the warehouse to outbound vehicles by manual forklifts, or to manually arrange incomplete cigarette pack units into complete cigarette pack units;

[0056] The roller conveyor 1 and the straight shuttle 2 are also used to deliver the cigarette pack units that need to be shipped out of the finished cold pack high-bay warehouse to the manual clamping platform 8;

[0057] The straight shuttle vehicle 2 is also used to deliver incomplete cigarette pack units to the manual clamping station 8, and to transport the manually sorted complete cigarette pack units back to the designated storage location of the cold pack warehouse for storage or directly transport them to the clamping and assembly station corresponding to the cigarette pack clamping and assembly machine 5 to wait for combination with an empty pallet.

[0058] The system for intelligent transportation of finished cigarette packages provided by the embodiment of the present invention can realize the automatic combination of cigarette packages and pallets, and automatically dock with unmanned transport vehicles to transport them to the tobacco aging warehouse in the factory while meeting the original cigarette package outbound loading operation mode; a balanced AGV cart is used in the tobacco aging warehouse in the factory to realize automatic unloading and warehousing of cargo units; information management is carried out for the cargo positions in the aging warehouse; the operation is stable, efficient, reliable, and easy to maintain.

[0059] Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a method for intelligently conveying finished cigarette packages using the above system. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the method for intelligently conveying finished cigarette packages provided in this embodiment includes the following steps in actual implementation:

[0063] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, in the step S3, when the finished cigarette pack conveying type is factory-exported, if the cigarette packs retrieved from the cold pack warehouse are not a complete cigarette pack stack unit (i.e., there are less than 4 cigarette packs), the incomplete cigarette pack unit is sent to the manual clamping platform 8 by the straight shuttle vehicle 2, and then unloaded by a manual forklift and placed in a specified area. After being manually sorted into complete cigarette pack units, it is put back to the manual clamping platform 8 by the manual forklift again, and then transported back to the designated cargo location in the cold pack warehouse for storage by the straight shuttle vehicle 2, or directly transported to the clamping assembly station to wait for the cigarette pack clamping assembly machine 5 to combine the sorted complete cigarette pack units with the empty pallet.

[0064] Step S4: The controller calls out the cigarette pack units that need to be shipped out from the finished product cold pack elevated warehouse, and sends them to the clamping and holding combination station via the roller conveyor 1 and the straight shuttle vehicle 2.

[0065] Step S5: The controller calls out the empty pallet group from the finished product cold bag high-bay warehouse, and delivers it to the empty pallet distribution platform via the roller conveyor 1 and the straight shuttle vehicle 2.

[0066] Step S6: At the pallet distribution station, the pallet code extension 3 depalletizes the empty pallet group into a single empty pallet.

[0067] Among them, the empty pallet group used in step S5 and step S6 is when the cold pack warehouse has no outbound task and is in an idle state. The empty pallet group is placed on the manual clamping platform by a manual forklift, and is transported in reverse to the designated cargo location of the cold pack warehouse by the straight shuttle vehicle 2 for storage. When the empty pallet is needed, the empty pallet group is called out from the cold pack warehouse.

[0069] The chain conveyor 4 delivers a single empty pallet to the clamping and assembling station for use in cigarette package pallet assembly.

[0070] Step S8: At the clamping and assembling station, the cigarette pack clamping and assembling machine 5 combines a cigarette pack unit including four cigarette packs and a single empty pallet into a cargo unit.

[0071] Step S9: The roller conveyor 1 outputs the cargo unit to the pallet loading device 6.

[0072] Step S10 : the pallet loading device 6 waits for the unmanned transport vehicle 7 to arrive and then automatically docks with the unmanned transport vehicle 7 , and automatically transports the cargo unit to the unmanned transport vehicle 7 .

[0073] Step S11, the unmanned transport vehicle 7 automatically transfers the cargo unit to the storage end of the tobacco aging warehouse. After receiving the signal, the balanced AGV car automatically docks with the unmanned transport vehicle 7 to unload and store the cargo unit.
