[0002] With the further development of industrial technology, the automation level of equipment in major domestic cigarette enterprises has been further improved, and the physical labor of workers in cigarette production workshops in the future will be further reduced. During the production of cigarette sticks, the continuous and stable supply of cigarette paper and tipping paper is crucial. Traditional cigarette production still requires manual replacement of paper disks, and then manually introduce the paper tape into the equipment.

[0003] In actual production, the method of manual paper guiding has many deficiencies. First of all, the efficiency of manual operation is low, and the labor intensity during large-scale production is very high. Especially when the production rhythm is accelerated, manual paper guiding is likely to become a production bottleneck. Secondly, it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of manual paper guiding. It is easy for the paper tape to run out of the predetermined position of the paper passing roller due to human factors, resulting in the deviation of the paper tape, which in turn affects the product quality and production continuity. In addition, there are also certain safety hazards in manual paper guiding, etc., which all limit the further improvement of production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0067] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0068] In order to enable those skilled in the art of this technology to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in which, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the web guiding device provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the connecting plate provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the paper clamping mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the paper tray contact rod and the clamping rod provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0070] In the first specific implementation manner, the web guiding device provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a connecting plate 1 and a paper clamping mechanism 2. The connecting plate 1 is used to be connected to a robot; the paper clamping mechanism 2 is arranged on the connecting plate 1. The paper clamping mechanism 2 includes a paper tray contact rod 201, a paper tray induction component 202, and a clamping rod 203. The paper tray contact rod 201 is used to contact the paper tray; the paper tray induction component 202 is used to detect the contact state between the paper tray contact rod 201 and the paper tray, and send a signal to the robot to adjust the position of the web guiding device through the robot; the clamping rod 203 is used to jointly clamp the web (the paper tape wound on the paper tray) with the paper tray contact rod 201.

[0071] In the cigarette making and tipping equipment in the tobacco industry, the traditional web guiding operation mainly relies on manual operation, and there are many deficiencies in this way, such as low efficiency, difficult to guarantee accuracy, high labor intensity, and certain safety hazards. In view of these problems, the present application provides a web guiding device, aiming to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of the web guiding operation through automated and intelligent design, and at the same time reduce the labor intensity.

[0072] The paper web guiding device provided by the present application includes a connecting plate 1 and a paper clamping mechanism 2. The connecting plate 1 is used to connect with a robot, enabling the entire device to be seamlessly docked with the robot system on the automated production line, thereby realizing automated operation. The paper clamping mechanism 2 is arranged on the connecting plate 1, and its core components include a paper disk contact rod 201, a paper disk induction component 202, and a clamping rod 203. The paper disk contact rod 201 is used to contact the paper disk and is the direct component for realizing the paper web guiding operation. The paper disk induction component 202 is used to detect the contact state between the paper disk contact rod 201 and the paper disk and can send a signal to the robot. This function is crucial because it enables the robot to adjust the position of the paper web guiding device in real time according to the signal fed back by the paper disk induction component 202, ensuring that the paper disk contact rod 201 can accurately contact the paper disk and perform subsequent paper web guiding operations. The clamping rod 203 is used to jointly clamp the paper web with the paper disk contact rod 201 to facilitate subsequent paper web guiding actions by the robot.

[0073] Combined with the above structure and process description, it can be seen that the paper web guiding device has at least the following beneficial effects: By setting the paper disk induction component 202, the paper web guiding device can detect the contact state between the paper disk contact rod 201 and the paper disk in real time and send a signal to the robot, thereby realizing accurate positioning and clamping, effectively improving the paper web guiding efficiency and accuracy, reducing manual intervention, lowering labor intensity, and at the same time enhancing the continuity and stability of production.

[0074] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 1 is provided with a bearing 101; the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes:

[0075] A swing rod 204, rotatably arranged on the connecting plate 1 through the bearing 101, and the swing rod 204 is connected to the paper disk contact rod 201;

[0076] Among them, the paper disk induction component 202 includes:

[0077] A swing piece 2021, arranged on the swing rod 204;

[0078] A sensor 2022, used to detect the position of the swing piece 2021.

[0079] In this embodiment, as an important part of the paper web guiding device, the connecting plate 1 can be designed to be connected to the quick-change joint of the robot's robotic arm, such as setting holes for connection on the connecting plate 1. In addition, a bearing 101 is provided on the other side of the connecting plate 1 where it is connected to the robot. Specifically, the upper part of the connecting plate 1 is connected to the robot, and the bearing 101 is arranged at the lower part.

[0080] This design enables the entire device to be more flexibly connected and work in cooperation with robots or other automated equipment. Through the setting of the bearing 101, the connecting plate 1 can not only provide stable support, but also ensure the smoothness and reliability of the device during operation.

[0081] In this embodiment, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes a swing rod 204. The swing rod 204 is rotatably arranged on the connecting plate 1 through the bearing 101 and is connected to the paper tray contact rod 201. This structural design enables the paper tray contact rod 201 to achieve flexible rotation and position adjustment under the drive of the swing rod 204. When the paper tray contact rod 201 contacts the paper tray, the swing rod 204 can adjust the angle and position of the paper tray contact rod 201 by rotating the bearing 101 according to the position and state of the paper tray, so as to better adapt to paper trays of different specifications and states and ensure the smooth progress of the paper guiding operation.

[0082] In this embodiment, the paper tray induction component 202 is one of the key parts of the paper clamping mechanism 2. It includes a swing piece 2021 and a sensor 2022. The swing piece 2021 is arranged on the swing rod 204 and moves synchronously with the swing rod 204. The sensor 2022 is used to detect the position of the swing piece 2021. When the paper tray contact rod 201 contacts the paper tray and drives the swing rod 204 to rotate, the position of the swing piece 2021 will also change accordingly. By detecting the position change of the swing piece 2021, the sensor 2022 can real-time sense the contact state between the paper tray contact rod 201 and the paper tray and feedback this information to the control system. This design enables robots or other automated equipment to timely adjust the position and posture of the paper roll guiding device according to the feedback signal, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the paper guiding operation. Through this intelligent induction and feedback mechanism, the device can effectively improve the paper guiding efficiency and accuracy, reduce manual intervention, lower labor intensity, and at the same time enhance the continuity and stability of production.

[0083] Optionally, the swing rod 204 and the paper tray contact rod 201 are in a rotational relationship, and the swing rod 204 and the swing piece 2021 are in a fixed relationship; the paper tray contact rod 201 is located at the head end of the swing rod 204, and the swing piece 2021 is located at the tail end of the swing rod 204; the sensor 2022 uses a groove type photoelectric sensor.

[0084] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes:

[0085] A support seat 205;

[0086] An adjusting knob 206, which is threadedly connected to the support seat 205;

[0087] A spring 207, the first end of which is connected to the adjusting knob 206, and the second end of which is connected to the swing rod 204. The length of the spring 207 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting knob 206.

[0088] In this embodiment, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes a support base 205, an adjustment knob 206, and a spring 207. The support base 205, as an important part of the paper clamping mechanism 2, provides a stable installation foundation for other components, ensuring the structural stability of the entire mechanism. The adjustment knob 206 is threadedly connected to the support base 205. This connection method enables the adjustment knob 206 to rotate and adjust on the support base 205, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the mechanism.

[0089] One end of the spring 207 is connected to the adjustment knob 206, and the other end is connected to the swing rod 204. By rotating the adjustment knob 206, the length of the spring 207 can be changed, thereby adjusting the elastic force of the spring 207. This design enables the paper clamping mechanism 2 to flexibly adjust the force state of the swing rod 204 according to actual operation requirements. When it is necessary to increase the stability of the swing rod 204 or adjust its movement sensitivity, it can be achieved by rotating the adjustment knob 206. This adjustable design not only improves the adaptability and flexibility of the paper clamping mechanism 2 but also ensures that the contact state between the paper tray contact rod 201 and the paper tray can be accurately controlled under different working conditions, thereby further enhancing the reliability and stability of the paper feeding operation.

[0090] In some cases, the bearing 101, the paper tray contact rod 201, the swing piece 2021, the sensor 2022, the swing rod 204, the support base 205, the adjustment knob 206, and the spring 207 form a paper tray induction mechanism, whose function is to continuously approach the paper tray, sense contact with the paper tray, and send out signals outward. This mechanism is exquisitely designed and has a simple structure, playing a role in perceiving and adjusting the contact force and having an amplification function.

[0091] The specific function realization includes two aspects: perception and adjustment.

[0092] For perception, the collaborative robot is used to continuously approach the paper tray with the paper tray feeding device, causing the paper tray contact rod 201 to continuously approach the paper tray, thereby coming into contact with the paper tray. At this time, the paper tray contact rod 201 continues to approach the paper tray, causing the paper tray contact rod 201 to receive a contact force. The paper tray contact rod 201 is connected to the swing rod 204, driving the swing rod 204 to rotate counterclockwise around the bearing 101. Since the swing piece 2021 is fixed to the end of the swing rod 204, the swing piece 2021 will immediately displace, causing it to rotate into the groove type optoelectronic sensor 2022, thereby triggering the sensor 2022 to send out a signal indicating that the paper tray has been contacted.

[0093] For adjustment, after the paper tray contact rod 201 contacts the paper tray, the contact force exerted by the paper tray on the paper tray contact rod 201 is transmitted to the swing rod 204. The precondition for the swing rod 204 to rotate is to offset the pulling force brought by the spring 207. By rotating the adjustment knob 206 and moving it towards the spring 207, the induction threshold can be reduced, and vice versa.

[0094] In some embodiments, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes:

[0095] A proximity switch 212, provided on the swing rod 204, for detecting the position of the clamping rod 203.

[0096] In this embodiment, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes a proximity switch 212, which is installed on the swing rod 204. The function of the proximity switch 212 is to detect the position of the clamping rod 203, and this function is crucial for the normal operation of the entire paper roll paper guiding device.

[0097] Specifically, the function of the sensor 2022 is to detect whether the paper tray contact rod 201 contacts the paper tray, so as to prepare for the subsequent paper roll clamping operation. When the sensor 2022 detects that the paper tray contact rod 201 has contacted the paper tray, it will send a signal to the robot, informing the robot that the paper tray is in place and the next operation can be carried out. However, just detecting the contact between the paper tray contact rod 201 and the paper tray is not enough. It is also necessary to ensure that the paper roll can be correctly clamped for the subsequent paper guiding operation. The clamping position is not limited here. For example, the paper roll can be clamped at the unsealing position.

[0098] At this time, the function of the proximity switch 212 becomes particularly important. By detecting the position of the clamping rod 203, the proximity switch 212 can determine whether the paper roll has been successfully clamped by the clamping rod 203 and the paper tray contact rod 201. If the proximity switch 212 detects that the clamping rod 203 is in the correct position, it means that the paper roll has been clamped and the device can continue to perform the subsequent paper guiding operation; on the contrary, if the proximity switch 212 detects that the position of the clamping rod 203 is incorrect, it means that the paper roll may not be correctly clamped, and the robot can accordingly adjust the position of the paper clamping mechanism 2 or perform other necessary operations to ensure that the paper roll can be correctly clamped.

[0099] Through the collaborative work of the sensor 2022 and the proximity switch 212, the paper roll paper guiding device can achieve double detection of the paper tray contact state and the paper roll clamping state, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the paper guiding operation. This design not only improves the automation degree of the device, but also effectively reduces production failures caused by inaccurate clamping, further enhancing the continuity and stability of production.

[0100] In some embodiments, both the paper tray contact rod 201 and the clamping rod 203 are rotatably provided on the swing rod 204;

[0101] The paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes:

[0102] A contact torsion spring 208 is provided on the paper tray contact rod 201;

[0103] A clamping torsion spring 209 is provided on the clamping rod 203;

[0104] Wherein, the elastic forces of the contact torsion spring 208 and the clamping torsion spring 209 drive the paper tray contact rod 201 and the clamping rod 203 to move towards each other.

[0105] In this embodiment, both the paper tray contact rod 201 and the clamping rod 203 are arranged on the swing rod 204 in a rotational manner. This structural design enables the paper tray contact rod 201 and the clamping rod 203 to flexibly adjust their positions and angles to meet the requirements of paper trays of different specifications and paper guiding operations. To achieve the automatic clamping function, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes a contact torsion spring 208 and a clamping torsion spring 209.

[0106] The contact torsion spring 208 is installed on the paper tray contact rod 201, while the clamping torsion spring 209 is installed on the clamping rod 203. The functions of these two torsion springs are to utilize their elastic acting forces to drive the paper tray contact rod 201 and the clamping rod 203 to move towards each other. They can not only automatically clamp the roll paper but also achieve interlocking under the action of the two elastic forces. Specifically, the contact torsion spring 208 generates an elastic force to push the paper tray contact rod 201 towards the clamping rod 203. At the same time, the clamping torsion spring 209 also generates an elastic force to make the clamping rod 203 move towards the paper tray contact rod 201. Through the mutual cooperation of these elastic acting forces, the paper tray contact rod 201 and the clamping rod 203 can automatically clamp the roll paper, complete the clamping action, and achieve interlocking.

[0107] This design not only improves the automation degree of clamping but also ensures the rapidity and reliability of the clamping action. Through the elastic acting forces of the torsion springs, the paper tray contact rod 201 and the clamping rod 203 can quickly complete the clamping action after contacting the paper tray, without the need for additional power devices or complex control mechanisms. This simplifies the structure of the entire paper clamping mechanism 2, reduces costs, and at the same time improves the stability and durability of the device.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram of the clamping torsion spring provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0109] In some embodiments, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes:

[0110] A torsion spring limit seat 210, connected to the first end of the clamping torsion spring 209;

[0111] The clamping adjustment member 211 is connected to the second end of the clamping torsion spring 209, and the torque of the clamping torsion spring 209 is adjusted by rotating the clamping adjustment member 211.

[0112] In this embodiment, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes a torsion spring limit seat 210 and a clamping adjustment member 211. These two components are used in cooperation with the clamping torsion spring 209, providing the paper clamping mechanism 2 with more precise adjustment capabilities and higher operation flexibility. The torsion spring limit seat 210 is connected to the first end of the clamping torsion spring 209, and its main function is to provide a stable support point and a limiting function for the clamping torsion spring 209. Through the torsion spring limit seat 210, the elastic force of the clamping torsion spring 209 can act on the clamping rod 203 more stably, ensuring that the clamping rod 203 can maintain a stable position and posture during the clamping process. This limiting function can effectively prevent the clamping torsion spring 209 from being over-twisted or displaced during operation, thereby improving the reliability and repeatability of the clamping action.

[0113] The clamping adjustment member 211 is connected to the second end of the clamping torsion spring 209. By rotating the clamping adjustment member 211, the torque of the clamping torsion spring 209 can be adjusted. This design enables the paper clamping mechanism 2 to flexibly adjust the magnitude of the clamping force according to different paper tray specifications and paper feeding requirements. This adjustability not only improves the adaptability and versatility of the paper clamping mechanism 2 but also effectively avoids problems such as paper tray damage or insecure clamping caused by excessive or insufficient clamping force.

[0114] Furthermore, not only is a clamping adjustment member 211 provided for the clamping torsion spring 209 to adjust its torque, but an adjustment member can also be provided to adjust the torque of the contact torsion spring 208, that is, the torques of both the contact torsion spring 208 and the clamping torsion spring 209 are adjustable.

[0115] In some cases, the clamping rod 203, the clamping torsion spring 209, the torsion spring limit seat 210, and the clamping adjustment member 211 form a paper tape clamping force adjustment mechanism, whose function is to adjust the clamping force on the paper (the same meaning as paper tape and reel paper), improve the clamping stability, and adapt to different specifications and types of cigarette paper.

[0116] Optionally, a rubber sleeve 214 is sleeved on the end position where the clamping rod 203 cooperates with the paper tray contact rod 201, and the friction with the paper tape during clamping is increased through the rubber sleeve 214.

[0117] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 , where Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the separation of the paper tray contact rod and the clamping rod provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 , Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the separation of the paper tray contact rod and the clamping rod provided by the embodiment of the present application Figure 2 , Figure 8Schematic diagram of the cooperation between the paper tray contact rod and the clamping rod provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0118] In some embodiments, the paper tray contact rod 201 is provided with a first side surface 2011, and a paper clamping groove 2012 is provided on the first side surface 2011. The paper clamping groove 2012 is used for concave-convex cooperation with the clamping rod 203 to clamp the paper disk.

[0119] In some embodiments, the paper tray contact rod 201 is provided with a second side surface 2013, and the second side surface 2013 is used to contact the paper tray. A contact sharp angle 2014 is formed between the second side surface 2013 and the first side surface 2011. The contact sharp angle 2014 is used to contact the sealing tape of the paper disk opening;

[0120] The paper tray contact rod 201 is provided with a card slot 2015, and the clamping rod 203 is provided with a locking portion 2031; when the locking portion 2031 is inserted into the card slot 2015, the clamping rod 203 is separated from the paper clamping groove 2012; when the contact sharp angle 2014 is pushed by the sealing tape of the paper disk opening, the locking portion 2031 exits the card slot 2015, and the clamping rod 203 cooperates with the paper clamping groove 2012.

[0121] In this embodiment, the design of the paper tray contact rod 201 has a unique structure and function to achieve efficient clamping and paper guiding operations on the paper disk. The paper tray contact rod 201 is provided with a first side surface 2011 and a second side surface 2013, wherein a paper clamping groove 2012 is provided on the first side surface 2011, and a contact sharp angle 2014 is formed between the second side surface 2013 and the first side surface 2011. This design enables the paper tray contact rod 201 to perform different functions at different stages.

[0122] After the paper tray contact rod 201 contacts the paper disk on the paper tray, the paper tray starts to rotate. At this time, the sealing tape at the end of the paper disk has not yet rotated to the contact sharp angle 2014. In this state, since the locking portion 2031 is inserted into the card slot 2015, the clamping rod 203 and the paper tray contact rod 201 are in a separated state. This separated state is achieved through the cooperation between the locking portion 2031 and the card slot 2015, ensuring that the clamping rod 203 does not interfere with the paper tray contact rod 201 during the initial rotation of the paper tray, thus preparing for the subsequent clamping action.

[0123] As the paper tray continues to rotate, the sealing tape gradually approaches the contact sharp angle 2014. When the sealing tape contacts the contact sharp angle 2014, the sealing tape exerts a thrust on the contact sharp angle 2014. This thrust causes a certain displacement of the paper tray contact rod 201, and then the locking portion 2031 exits from the card slot 2015. At this time, the separation between the locking portion 2031 and the card slot 2015 releases the restriction on the clamping rod 203 and the paper tray contact rod 201.

[0124] After the locking part 2031 exits the card slot 2015, the clamping rod 203 and the paper tray contact rod 201 are no longer restricted. Under the elastic action of the contact torsion spring 208 and the clamping torsion spring 209, they start to move towards each other. The elastic forces of the contact torsion spring 208 and the clamping torsion spring 209 drive the clamping rod 203 and the paper tray contact rod 201 to approach each other until the clamping part of the clamping rod 203 cooperates with the paper clamping groove 2012 of the paper tray contact rod 201. This cooperation enables the clamping rod 203 and the paper tray contact rod 201 to tightly hold the unsealed opening of the reel paper, thus completing the clamping action.

[0125] After the clamping is completed, the subsequent paper guiding action can be carried out by the robot, that is, guiding the paper tape into the device.

[0126] The advantage of this design is that through the cooperation of the locking part 2031 and the card slot 2015, and the contact between the contact sharp corner 2014 and the unsealed opening tape, the automatic separation and cooperation of the clamping rod 203 and the paper tray contact rod 201 are realized. This automated clamping mechanism not only improves the clamping efficiency and reliability, but also reduces manual intervention and the operation difficulty. At the same time, the elastic forces of the contact torsion spring 208 and the clamping torsion spring 209 ensure the rapidity and stability of the clamping action, enabling the entire paper clamping mechanism 2 to operate stably under different working conditions and meet the high-precision and high-efficiency requirements of the paper guiding operation for the cigarette industry's tipping and joining equipment.

[0127] In some cases, the paper tray contact rod 201, the clamping rod 203, the contact torsion spring 208, the clamping torsion spring 209, and the proximity switch 212 form a paper tray unsealing interface detection mechanism, whose function is to generate resistance to the paper tray contact rod 201 through the tape at the unsealed opening of the paper tray, triggering the clamping action. This mechanism is sensitive and has a fast action response speed, capable of sensing the paper tape seal and adjusting its sensitivity.

[0128] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 which is a schematic diagram of the electric cylinder provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0129] In some embodiments, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes:

[0130] An electric cylinder 213, provided with an electric cylinder push rod 2131, and the electric cylinder push rod is used to push the clamping rod 203 so that after the clamping rod 203 is separated from the paper clamping groove 2012, the locking part 2031 is snapped into the card slot 2015.

[0131] The present application also provides a reel paper guiding system, including a robot and the above-mentioned reel paper guiding device. The robot is provided with a robotic arm, and the robotic arm is connected to the connecting plate 1.

[0132] In this embodiment, the paper clamping mechanism 2 further includes an electric cylinder 213, and the electric cylinder 213 is provided with an electric cylinder push rod 2131. The main function of the electric cylinder push rod 2131 is to push the clamping rod 203 to separate it from the paper clamping groove 2012 of the paper tray contact rod 201, and to make the locking portion 2031 on the clamping rod 203 snap into the card slot 2015 of the paper tray contact rod 201. This design provides an active control and reset mechanism for the paper clamping mechanism 2.

[0133] Specifically, when it is necessary to separate the clamping rod 203 from the paper tray contact rod 201, the electric cylinder push rod 2131 of the electric cylinder 213 extends to push the clamping rod 203 to separate it from the paper clamping groove 2012. At this time, the locking portion 2031 on the clamping rod 203 can smoothly snap into the card slot 2015 of the paper tray contact rod 201, thereby realizing the fixation of the clamping rod 203 and the paper tray contact rod 201.

[0134] In some cases, the electric cylinder 213 is provided with an electric cylinder push rod 2131, an axial fixed support 2132, and a fixed pin shaft 2133. The axial fixed support 2132 is located at the electric cylinder push rod 2131, and the fixed pin shaft 2133 is located at the tail end of the electric cylinder 213, forming a reset mechanism. Its function is to rely on the electric cylinder 213 to extend the electric cylinder push rod 2131 after the paper feeding action is completed, thereby rotating the clamping rod 203 in the clamping force adjusting mechanism, so that the locking portion 2031 at the bottom of the clamping rod 203 enters the card slot 2015 of the paper tray contact rod 201 to play a reset role.

[0135] This application also provides a paper roll paper feeding system, including a robot and the above-mentioned paper roll paper feeding device. The robot is provided with a robotic arm, and the robotic arm is connected to the connecting plate 1.

[0136] This paper roll paper feeding system should have all the beneficial technical effects of the above-mentioned paper roll paper feeding device, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0137] In this embodiment, this application further provides a paper roll paper feeding system. This system not only includes the above-mentioned paper roll paper feeding device, but also is equipped with a robot. The robot is connected to the connecting plate 1 of the paper roll paper feeding device through its robotic arm. This connection method enables the robot to accurately control the position and posture of the paper roll paper feeding device, thereby realizing efficient paper feeding operations.

[0138] More importantly, the robot is signal-connected to the electrical components in the reel paper guiding device, and this connection method is the core of realizing the automated operation of the entire system. Specifically, signal paths are established between the robot and electrical components such as sensor 2022, proximity switch 212, and electric cylinder 213. Sensor 2022 can detect in real time whether the paper reel contact rod 201 is in contact with the paper reel and feed back this information to the robot. The proximity switch 212 is used to detect the position of the clamping rod 203 to ensure that the clamping action between the clamping rod 203 and the paper reel contact rod 201 is accurate, and at the same time, it is equivalent to detecting whether the tape at the opening of the paper reel has been triggered. The electric cylinder 213 realizes the reset of the clamping rod 203 and the paper reel contact rod 201 through the action of its electric cylinder push rod 2131, and this process is also precisely controlled by the robot.

[0139] Through this signal connection, the robot can adjust the actions of the robotic arm in real time according to the signals fed back by sensor 2022 and proximity switch 212, thereby precisely controlling the position and posture of the reel paper guiding device. At the same time, the robot can also control the action of the electric cylinder 213 to ensure that the reset between the clamping rod 203 and the paper reel contact rod 201 is completed in a timely manner. This highly automated control system not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of the paper guiding operation, but also reduces manual intervention, lowers the labor intensity, and enhances the continuity and stability of production.

[0140] In summary, the reel paper guiding system provided in this application realizes a highly automated paper guiding operation through the signal connection between the robot and the electrical components in the reel paper guiding device. This system not only improves production efficiency, but also enhances the reliability and stability of the entire system, enabling it to better meet the high-precision and high-efficiency requirements of the paper guiding operation for the cigarette making and tipping equipment in the tobacco industry.
