[0041] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0042] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0043] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0044] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0045] In related technologies, tobacco boxes need to be cleaned by a cleaning robot before the next use. Currently, offline cleaning is generally used, that is, the empty boxes after being folded are sent to the cleaning robot, which cleans the tobacco. The cleaned empty boxes are then used for the next time. Since all brands of tobacco boxes are cleaned in the same place, in order to ensure consistency and rigor, the cleaned tobacco can only be discarded, resulting in waste.

[0046] Furthermore, in the processing of tobacco using related technologies, the tobacco is first fed to a conveyor via a logistics conveyor. A robot moves longitudinally along a guide rail, and following prompts from the information system, it picks up a tobacco box at a designated station and proceeds to a lid-removing mechanism to remove the lid. The box is then sent to a designated storage tank for rotary unloading. After unloading, the empty box is transported back to the lid-removing machine, the lid is replaced, and the empty box is sent to the conveyor station and then to the empty box cleaning area. This cycle is repeated. Therefore, in these technologies, unloading and cleaning of tobacco are separate operations, and unloading must be completed before transporting the tobacco to the cleaning area. This results in a long unloading and cleaning time for the tobacco, leading to low processing efficiency.

[0047] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides an online tobacco cleaning system, comprising a receiving device and a tobacco cleaning device. This system can simultaneously receive and clean the tobacco, integrating the receiving and cleaning processes into a single unit, effectively saving time. Furthermore, by including a drive component that works in conjunction with the receiving and cleaning devices, the system facilitates flexible adjustment of the tobacco box position during the receiving and cleaning process, thereby enabling flexible control of the receiving and cleaning operations and maximizing the processing efficiency of the tobacco.

[0048] The following will combine Figures 1 to 4 The specific structure of the online tobacco cleaning system provided in the embodiments of this application will be described.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides an online tobacco cleaning system, including a drive device 100, a receiving device 200, and a tobacco cleaning device 300.

[0050] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the drive unit 100 has a drive end 110 for mounting the smoke box 400 and is configured to drive the smoke box 400 to flip.

[0051] For example, the drive device 100 can be a robot. For instance, servo motors can be installed at the joints of the robot to precisely control the rotation angle and speed of the output shaft, thereby realizing the flipping action of the smoke box 400; or, the drive device 100 can be a flipping cylinder mechanism or a hydraulic flipping machine. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0052] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the receiving device 200 has a receiving cavity 210 and an upward-facing receiving port 220. The receiving cavity 210 is used to hold the material inside the smoke box 400. For example, the receiving device 200 can be a storage cabinet, but this embodiment does not limit it to this.

[0053] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the tobacco cleaning device 300 is disposed in the receiving chamber 210. The tobacco cleaning device 300 includes a cleaning mechanism 310. The receiving port 220 is configured to allow the cleaning mechanism 310 to extend into the tobacco box 400 and clean the residual material in the tobacco box 400 into the receiving chamber 210. The receiving port 220 is also configured to allow the cleaning mechanism 310 to retract so as to avoid the tobacco box 400 when it is overturned.

[0054] Among them, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the receiving port 220 serves as a channel in the tobacco cleaning device 300. On one hand, the receiving port 220 provides an extendable channel for the cleaning mechanism 310. When cleaning of the tobacco box 400 is required, the cleaning mechanism 310 extends from the receiving port 220 and enters the interior of the tobacco box 400. Inside the tobacco box 400, the cleaning mechanism 310 uses various actions, such as the rotation of the brush and the scraping of the scraper, to clean off residual material adhering to the inner wall and bottom of the tobacco box 400, causing it to fall into the receiving chamber 210. The receiving chamber 210 is used to collect these cleaned residual tobacco shreds for further processing, such as recycling or unified cleaning.

[0055] When the tobacco box 400 needs to be flipped, the cleaning mechanism 310 will retract into the receiving chamber 210 through the receiving port 220. This is to avoid collision or interference between the cleaning mechanism 310 and the tobacco box 400 during the flipping process, thereby protecting the cleaning mechanism 310 and the tobacco box 400 from damage. It also ensures that the tobacco box 400 can smoothly perform flipping and unloading actions, thus ensuring the normal operation of the online tobacco cleaning system.

[0056] Therefore, in this embodiment, the tobacco cleaning device 300 is used in conjunction with the receiving device 200, and the receiving port 220 serves as a connecting channel, so that while the material in the tobacco box 400 is poured into the receiving device 200, the cleaning device can clean the tobacco in the tobacco box 400, saving the time of receiving and cleaning. In addition, by including the driving device 100, it is helpful to adjust the position of the tobacco box 400 during the receiving and cleaning process, and cooperate with the tobacco cleaning device 300 to flexibly control the cleaning position and maximize the processing efficiency of tobacco.

[0057] It should be noted that the order of material pouring and cleaning is not limited. For example, after the material in the tobacco box 400 is poured out, the tobacco cleaning device 300 cleans the remaining material in the tobacco box 400 into the receiving chamber 210; alternatively, the tobacco cleaning device 300 can first clean the remaining material in the tobacco box 400, removing the material adhering to the inner wall of the tobacco box 400, and then pour the material into the receiving device 200; or, material pouring and cleaning can be performed simultaneously. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0058] In addition, placing the tobacco cleaning device 300 in the receiving chamber 210 is beneficial to the layout and integration of the entire online tobacco cleaning system, making the cooperation between the cleaning device and other functional components such as receiving and turning more closely and coordinated, forming an organic whole, and improving the automation level and work efficiency of the system.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the smoke box 400 has a discharge port 410. The drive device 100 drives the smoke box 400 to flip so that at least part of the discharge port 410 is located in the receiving port 220.

[0060] It should be noted that "at least partially" means that a portion of the pouring port 410 can be located within the coverage area of ​​the receiving port 220; or, the pouring port 410 can be entirely embedded in the receiving cavity 210. This embodiment does not limit this, and the position can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0061] This ensures that the tobacco shreds fall accurately into the receiving chamber 210 to the greatest extent possible, reducing the scattering and loss of tobacco shreds during the unloading process, improving the tobacco shred collection rate, helping to reduce production costs, and also reducing pollution to the working environment.

[0062] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the driving device 100 drives the tobacco box 400 to reciprocate vertically relative to the receiving port 220, so that the tobacco cleaning device 300 cleans different areas of the tobacco box 400 in the vertical direction. Alternatively, in this embodiment, the driving device 100 drives the tobacco box 400 to reciprocate horizontally relative to the receiving port 220, so that the tobacco cleaning device 300 cleans different areas of the tobacco box 400 in the horizontal direction.

[0063] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of the drive unit that positions the smoke box at different locations. Specifically, in the vertical direction... Figure 3 The cigarette box is positioned higher than Figure 2 The middle smoke box is positioned horizontally. Figure 3 The location of the cigarette box in the middle is compared to Figure 2 The position of the middle tobacco box was moved back.

[0064] It is understandable that the purpose of moving the drive unit 100 backward is to meet the maximum limit position of the robot's rotation. If the robot's rotation interface is sufficient, there is no need to move backward.

[0065] This allows the tobacco cleaning device 300 to cover a larger area of ​​the tobacco box 400, avoiding cleaning dead spots. Compared with fixed-position cleaning, it greatly improves the comprehensiveness of cleaning the tobacco box 400, ensuring that tobacco and other debris on the surface of the tobacco box 400 can be effectively removed, and enhances the applicability and flexibility of the device.

[0066] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the tobacco cleaning device 300 includes a mounting bracket 320, a slide rail 330, and a first drive mechanism 340. The mounting bracket 320 is disposed on the receiving device 200, the slide rail 330 is disposed on the mounting bracket 320, and the first drive mechanism 340 is disposed on the slide rail 330 and moves relative to the slide rail 330 along the first direction Y, thereby driving the cleaning mechanism 310 to move along the first direction Y. The mounting bracket 320 and the receiving port 220 are located on opposite sides of the receiving device 200.

[0067] For example, mounting brackets 320 are positioned opposite each other and connected to both sides of the receiving device 200, and a slide rail 330 is disposed between the two mounting brackets 320. For example, the first direction is... Figure 4 Center Y direction.

[0068] For example, the first drive mechanism 340 may be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod, etc.

[0069] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 320 serves to fix and support the device, providing a mounting base for the entire device. The slide rail 330 provides guidance for the first drive mechanism 340, enabling the first drive mechanism 340 to move precisely along a specific first direction, thereby driving the cleaning mechanism 310 to accurately reach the position in the smoke box 400 that needs to be cleaned.

[0070] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figures 4 to 7 As shown, it may also include a second drive mechanism 350, which is connected to the first drive mechanism 340. The cleaning mechanism 310 is connected to the side of the second drive mechanism 350 away from the first drive mechanism 340. The first drive mechanism 340 drives the cleaning mechanism 310 to move along the first direction through the second drive mechanism 350.

[0071] For example, the second drive mechanism 350 may be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod, etc.

[0072] The introduction of a second drive mechanism 350 as an intermediate connecting component allows the power of the first drive mechanism 340 to be transmitted to the sweeping mechanism 310 more smoothly and efficiently. Compared to directly connecting the sweeping mechanism 310 to the first drive mechanism 340, the second drive mechanism 350 can buffer and adjust the power, reducing vibration and impact during power transmission.

[0073] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 As shown, the tobacco cleaning device 300 may also include a support mechanism 360, one end of which is connected to the slide rail 330, and the other end of which extends below the second drive mechanism 350, with at least a portion of the second drive mechanism 350 resting on the support mechanism 360.

[0074] For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the support mechanism 360 can be an L-shaped folding plate, wherein the vertical edge of the folding plate is connected to the slide rail 330, and the horizontal edge of the folding plate extends to the bottom of the second drive mechanism 350 to support at least part of the second drive mechanism 350.

[0075] In this way, the support mechanism 360 provides an additional support point for the second drive mechanism 350, effectively reducing vibration and shaking during the cleaning process, improving the structural stability of the device, and thus ensuring the accuracy of cleaning and improving the quality and effect of cleaning.

[0076] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the number of second drive mechanisms 350 may include multiple second drive mechanisms 350, which are connected sequentially along the second direction X; the first drive mechanism 340 and the cleaning mechanism 310 are connected to the second drive mechanisms 350 located at both ends.

[0077] For example, the second direction is Figure 4 In the X direction. For example, in this embodiment, four second drive mechanisms 350 are used as an example for illustration.

[0078] For example, adjacent second drive mechanisms 350 can be connected by mechanical means, such as using bolts, slots, etc., to ensure that they can work together during operation.

[0079] In addition, the connection between the first drive mechanism 340 and the cleaning mechanism 310 allows the power generated by the first drive mechanism 340 to be transmitted to the cleaning mechanism 310 in sequence through multiple connected second drive mechanisms 350, thereby driving the cleaning mechanism 310 to move and realize the cleaning work of the smoke box 400.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second drive mechanism 350 is provided with an air supply pipe and is used to connect to an air supply source through the air supply pipe; the air supply pipe is provided with a reversing valve, which is configured to switch to a preset state to guide the gas to the corresponding second drive mechanism 350, and the air supply pipe supplies gas to the second drive mechanism 350.

[0081] For example, each of the second drive mechanisms 350 can be provided with an air supply pipe. When the reversing valve switches to the corresponding state, allowing gas to flow to the air supply pipe corresponding to one of the second drive mechanisms 350, the air supply source provides gas to the air supply pipe, allowing the gas to enter the corresponding second drive mechanism 350. After the second drive mechanism 350 is activated, it sprays compressed air into the smoke box 400, thereby cleaning the smoke box 400.

[0082] In this way, the design of the reversing valve can flexibly adjust the cleaning mode according to the actual situation, improving the adaptability of the cleaning device to different working conditions.

[0083] In some embodiments, the drive unit 100 may be equipped with a position sensor, and the tobacco cleaning device 300 may be equipped with a controller. The position sensor and the controller are electrically connected. The position sensor is configured to detect the position of the tobacco box 400, convert the detection signal into an electrical signal, and send the electrical signal to the controller. The controller is configured to trigger the cleaning action.

[0084] For example, the position sensor can be a magnetic sensor, such as a Hall sensor or a reed switch; or it can be a proximity sensor, utilizing the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a metal object approaches the sensor, causing a change in the magnetic field inside the sensor, thereby generating an electrical signal output. This embodiment does not limit this, and the detection of the positioning state of the cigarette box 400 is within the scope of protection of this application.

[0085] For example, when the controller receives an electrical signal indicating that the tobacco box 400 has arrived, it will be triggered to perform a cleaning action. The controller can control the various components in the tobacco cleaning device 300 according to a preset program or algorithm, such as driving the first drive mechanism 340 or the second drive mechanism 350 to clean the tobacco box 400.

[0086] This ensures that the cleaning mechanism 310 cleans when the smoke box 400 is in the correct position, avoiding incomplete or incorrect cleaning due to inaccurate positioning of the smoke box 400, improving the accuracy and reliability of cleaning, and ensuring that all parts of the smoke box 400 are effectively cleaned.

[0087] In some embodiments, the cleaning mechanism 310 can be a scraper or a brush. The cleaning mechanism 310 is made of soft material, which helps to better fit the surface of the cigarette box 400 and adapt to the shape of the surface of the cigarette box 400, thereby effectively removing tobacco, dust and other debris attached to it and improving the cleaning effect.

[0088] This embodiment provides an online tobacco cleaning system, including a receiving device and a tobacco cleaning device. It can clean the tobacco simultaneously with receiving it, integrating the receiving and cleaning processes into one unit, effectively saving time. Furthermore, by including a drive component that works in conjunction with the receiving and cleaning devices, it facilitates flexible adjustment of the tobacco box position during receiving and cleaning, thereby flexibly controlling the receiving and cleaning operations and maximizing the processing efficiency of the tobacco.

[0089] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, 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.

[0090] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
