[0022] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, in one embodiment, a cigarette pack film grabbing device includes a servo moving unit and a film grabbing unit, the servo moving unit is used to drive the film grabbing unit to move; the film grabbing unit includes a mounting member 200, a first gripper 400 and a second gripper 500, two sets of first grippers 400 are installed on the mounting member 200, and one set of second grippers 500 is installed on the mounting member 200 and is located between the two sets of first grippers 400; wherein, when the servo moving unit drives the film grabbing unit to move above the cigarette pack, the first gripper 400 grabs the film and drives the film away from the cigarette pack, and the second gripper 500 replaces the first gripper 400 to grab the film when the film is away from the cigarette pack by a set distance. The process in which the servo moving unit drives the film grabbing unit to move above the cigarette pack can be divided into two steps. The first step is that the servo moving unit drives the film grabbing unit to move horizontally from an initial position or a film recovery position to the top of the cigarette pack; the second step is that the servo moving unit drives the film grabbing unit to move vertically from the top of a cigarette pack to the top of the cigarette pack, at which point the first gripper 400 can grab the film. In this embodiment, taking the packaging of cigarette packages through film as an example, the cigarette packages can be first transferred to the automatic tobacco package opening line (specifically a conveyor belt) through a robot arm, and the cigarette package film grabbing device is set above the automatic tobacco package opening line through a truss. When the cigarette package is opened: the film to be opened is grabbed by the set film grabbing unit; wherein the claws of the film grabbing unit are set as the first gripper 400 and the second gripper 500, and this one-time grabbing and two-hand-changing grabbing form is adopted. The one-time grabbing is used to stably grab the film, and the film grabbing effect is good; and the two-hand-changing grabbing is used to separate and remove the film from the cigarette package, while avoiding grabbing tobacco leaves. When the one-time grabbing is released during the second-hand-changing grabbing, the tobacco leaves grabbed by the first gripper 400 will fall back on the cigarette package, effectively preventing the waste of tobacco leaves.
