Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of manual carton sealing machines, and particularly relates to a manual carton sealing machine box condition association device and an association method. BACKGROUND

[0002] A manual carton sealing machine is a kind of semi-automatic carton sealing machine, which is generally applicable to the scene of reassembling cigarette cartons by manually sticking strips from a machine table in a production workshop. Specifically, when assembling cigarette cartons by manually sticking strips by using the manual carton sealing machine, a cigarette carton with a sealed bottom and an unsealed top is placed at a sealing machine sleeve opening, and then a cigarette stack that has been stacked in the sealing machine is pushed into the empty cigarette carton that is pre-connected to the sealing machine sleeve opening by a pushing mechanism in the manual carton sealing machine, and finally the cigarette carton with the assembled cigarette stack is taken out of the sealing machine sleeve opening and the unsealed opening of the cigarette carton is sealed to complete the process of assembling the cigarette stack by using the manual carton sealing machine.

[0003] Although the above manual carton sealing machine can realize the process of assembling the cigarette stack into the cigarette carton, in a scanning association link that does not affect the assembling of the cigarette carton in the manual carton sealing machine, a worker generally uses a scanning gun to associate the box conditions of part of the stations (part of the stations: a cigarette scanning station and a cigarette carton scanning station). This scanning association method by using the scanning gun by the worker not only increases the labor intensity, but also increases the labor cost and consumes time, and when the cigarette strip is transported quickly or the worker's concentration is not high, the situation of missing scanning the bar code on the cigarette strip is also likely to occur.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the method of associating the box conditions of part of the stations in the process of assembling the cigarette stack by using the manual carton sealing machine, so as to solve the problems of time consumption, labor intensity and high labor cost caused by the method of associating the box conditions of part of the stations by using the scanning gun by the worker in the process of assembling the cigarette stack by using the manual carton sealing machine. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a manual carton sealing machine box condition association device and an association method to solve the problems of time consumption, labor intensity and high labor cost caused by the method of associating the box conditions of part of the stations by using the scanning gun by the worker in the process of assembling the cigarette stack by using the manual carton sealing machine.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a manual carton sealing machine box condition association device in the first aspect, which comprises:

[0007] The first box condition association piece is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the cartoning machine through a rotating end, and a photographing end of the first box condition association piece is located above a tobacco box placement table connected to a tobacco box sleeve of the cartoning machine. The first box condition association piece is electrically connected to a motor for controlling tobacco strip stacking in a tobacco strip stacking station in the middle of the cartoning machine through a PLC in a box condition association industrial computer. After a project code on a tobacco box placed on the tobacco box placement table is successfully scanned, the first box condition association piece drives the motor for stacking tobacco strips through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer. The motor is used for stacking tobacco strips transported to the tobacco strip stacking station by a tobacco strip conveying belt in the cartoning machine and monitored by a tobacco strip position monitoring piece on the inner wall of the cartoning machine.

[0008] The second box condition association piece is fixedly arranged on the right inner wall of the cartoning machine, and a code reading end of the second box condition association piece faces the tobacco strip stacking station. The second box condition association piece is electrically connected to a motor for stacking, a lifting position monitoring piece on each tobacco layer connected to a rotating shaft of a cam, and an alarm arranged on the outer wall of the cartoning machine through a PLC in the box condition association industrial computer. The second box condition association piece is used for scanning a bar code on each tobacco strip in a tobacco layer after the lifting position monitoring piece detects that the cam connected to an output shaft of the motor for stacking rotates by an angle at which one tobacco layer is lifted to a position.

[0009] If the second box condition association piece successfully scans the bar code on each tobacco strip in a five-layer tobacco layer and a tobacco layer stacking position monitoring piece arranged on the right inner wall of the cartoning machine near the tobacco strip stacking station detects that the tobacco layer has been stacked to a position, the tobacco layer stacking position monitoring piece controls a pneumatic cylinder in the cartoning machine and located at the back side of the tobacco strip stacking station to drive a push plate to push the stacked five-layer tobacco layer into a tobacco box successfully scanned by the first box condition association piece through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer. After the process of pushing the tobacco layer is performed twice, the second box condition association piece sends information about successful packing to the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer. An HMI on the box condition association industrial computer displays successful packing and prompts an operator to take away the carton.

[0010] If the second box condition association element fails to scan the bar code on any one of the five layers of cigarettes in the stack and the cigarette layer stacking in place monitoring element monitors that the cigarette layer has been stacked in place, the cigarette layer stacking in place monitoring element controls the air cylinder in the sealing machine through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer to drive the push plate to push the stacked five layers of cigarette layers into the cigarette box that has been successfully scanned by the first box condition association element, and the process of pushing the cigarette layers is repeated twice. After all the cigarettes are loaded into the cigarette box, the second box condition association element controls the alarm through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer to issue an alarm, reminding the operator to take out the cigarettes from the cigarette box and re-scan and load the cigarettes into the cigarette box.

[0011] Further, a cigarette placement monitoring element is arranged on the side wall near the inlet end of the cigarette conveying belt. The cigarette placement monitoring element is an infrared detection sensor, which is electrically connected to the motor for controlling the operation of the cigarette conveying belt through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer. The outlet end of the cigarette conveying belt extends from the inlet of the sealing machine to the cigarette stacking station in the middle of the sealing machine. After the cigarette is placed in the inlet end of the cigarette conveying belt, the infrared detection sensor drives the motor for controlling the operation of the cigarette conveying belt through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer to move the cigarette on the cigarette conveying belt into the cigarette stacking station in the sealing machine through the inlet of the sealing machine.

[0012] Further, the cigarette in place monitoring element is electrically connected to the motor for controlling the stacking of cigarettes through the PLC in the first box condition association element and the box condition association industrial computer. After the first box condition association element successfully scans the engineering code on the cigarette box placed on the cigarette box placement table and detects that the cigarette in the cigarette stacking station is full, the cigarette in place monitoring element and the first box condition association element that successfully scans the cigarette box control the motor for controlling the stacking of cigarettes through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer to lift the five layers of cigarettes upward once.

[0013] Further, the cigarette in place monitoring element is a capacitive sensor, which is arranged on the left inner wall of the sealing machine sleeve and corresponds to the full position of the cigarette in the cigarette stacking station. The capacitive sensor is used to monitor whether the cigarette in the cigarette stacking station is full. After the capacitive sensor detects that the cigarette in the cigarette stacking station is full and the first box condition association element successfully scans the engineering code on the cigarette box placed on the cigarette box placement table, the capacitive sensor and the first box condition association element that successfully scans the engineering code on the cigarette box control the motor for controlling the stacking of cigarettes in the sealing machine through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer to lift the five layers of cigarettes upward once.

[0014] Further, the each layer of cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring member is an angle sensor, the each layer of cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring member is arranged on the rotating shaft connected with the cam of the cigarette stack motor in the cigarette stack station, the each layer of cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring member is also electrically connected with the motor for controlling the cigarette stack in the sealing machine through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer, the cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring member is used for detecting and controlling the cam 26 connected with the motor output shaft of the cigarette stack, after the cam 26 rotates a certain angle to lift a layer of cigarette layer to position, the motor for controlling the cigarette stack in the sealing machine is temporarily stopped to wait for the cigarette conveying belt to convey the cigarette to the cigarette stack station in the sealing machine again and stack again.

[0015] Further, the cigarette layer stack to position monitoring member is a limit detector, the cigarette layer stack to position monitoring member is electrically connected with the cylinder located at the rear side of the cigarette stack station and arranged on the rear wall of the sealing machine through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer, the cigarette layer stack to position monitoring member is used for monitoring whether the smoke stack at the cigarette stack station is stacked to position after the second box condition association member fails or succeeds in scanning the bar code on any one cigarette in the five layers of cigarette layers, and then the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer controls the cylinder to drive the push plate to push the smoke stack stacked to position at the cigarette stack station.

[0016] Further, the first box condition association member includes a rotating rod, a connecting rod, a first adjusting block and a scanning intelligent camera, the sleeve joint ring connected with one end of the rotating rod is adjustably connected with the connecting shaft of the support connected with the outer wall of the sealing machine through the adjusting bolt, the other end of the rotating rod is connected with the fixed end of the connecting rod, the first adjusting block is adjustably connected with the connecting rod, the bottom of the first adjusting block is connected with the top of the scanning intelligent camera, the scanning intelligent camera and the cigarette to position monitoring member are electrically connected with the cigarette stack motor in the cigarette stack station in the sealing machine through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer, the photographing end of the scanning intelligent camera is located above the cigarette box placing table, the scanning intelligent camera is used for taking a photo of the engineering code on the cigarette box, and then the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer controls the motor for controlling the cigarette stack in the sealing machine to stack the cigarette after the identification of the scanning intelligent camera and the cigarette to position monitoring member.

[0017] Further, the cigarette box placing table is provided with a baffle for resisting the cigarette box away from the sleeve opening of the sealing machine, the baffle after turning over and the conveying baffles on both sides of the cigarette box placing table define a cigarette box placing area.

[0018] Further, the second box condition association member includes an L-shaped connecting rod, second adjusting blocks, and a bar code scanner. The first end of the L-shaped connecting rod is connected to the left wall inside the cartoning machine. Five second adjusting blocks are respectively and adjustably connected to the L-shaped connecting rod. The side wall of each second adjusting block is connected to the side wall of the bar code scanner. The code reading end of the bar code scanner corresponds to the tobacco layer stacked at the tobacco stacking station inside the cartoning machine. The bar code scanner is electrically connected to the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer, the tobacco layer lifting into position monitoring member, and the alarm arranged outside the cartoning machine. The bar code scanner is used for scanning the bar code on each tobacco strip in the five-layer tobacco layer stacked at the tobacco stacking station.

[0019] If the bar code scanner successfully scans the bar code on each tobacco strip in the five-layer tobacco layer and the tobacco layer stacking into position monitoring member arranged on the right inner wall of the cartoning machine near the tobacco stacking station detects that the tobacco layer has been stacked into position, the tobacco layer stacking into position monitoring member controls the cylinder in the cartoning machine behind the tobacco stacking station to drive the push plate to push the stacked five-layer tobacco layer into the cartoning machine through the sleeve opening of the cartoning machine and into the cartoning box successfully scanned by the scanning intelligent camera. After the tobacco layer pushing process is performed twice, the bar code scanner sends the information of successful cartoning to the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer, and the HMI on the box condition association industrial computer displays the successful cartoning.

[0020] If the bar code scanner fails to scan the bar code on each tobacco strip in the five-layer tobacco layer and the tobacco layer stacking into position monitoring member arranged on the right inner wall of the cartoning machine near the tobacco stacking station detects that the tobacco layer has been stacked into position, the tobacco layer stacking into position monitoring member controls the cylinder in the cartoning machine behind the tobacco stacking station to drive the push plate to push the stacked five-layer tobacco layer into the cartoning machine through the sleeve opening of the cartoning machine and into the cartoning box successfully scanned by the scanning intelligent camera. After the tobacco layer pushing process is performed twice, the bar code scanner controls the alarm to issue an alarm after all the tobacco strips are loaded into the cartoning box, reminding the operator to take out the tobacco strips loaded into the cartoning box and re-scan and carton the tobacco strips.

[0021] The present application proposes a manual cartoning machine box condition association method in the second aspect, which includes the following steps:

[0022] If the tobacco strip placing monitoring member detects that the tobacco strips are placed into the tobacco strip conveying belt, the tobacco strip placing monitoring member controls the motor driving the operation of the tobacco strip conveying belt to act, and the tobacco strips are sent from the tobacco strip conveying belt through the inlet of the cartoning machine to the tobacco stacking station in the middle of the cartoning machine.

[0023] The cigarette carton is placed in the cigarette carton placing area of the cigarette carton sealing machine, and the cigarette carton is placed in the cigarette carton placing area of the cigarette carton sealing machine.

[0024] If the recognition software in the box condition associated industrial computer fails to recognize the engineering code on the empty cigarette carton, the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer controls the motor for controlling the cigarette stacking in the cigarette carton sealing machine to be inactivated, and the HMI interface of the box condition associated industrial computer displays that the cigarette carton scanning is waiting, and the cigarette conveying belt is stopped from continuously conveying the cigarette to the cigarette stacking position of the cigarette carton sealing machine by pressing the emergency stop switch.

[0025] If the recognition software in the box condition associated industrial computer successfully recognizes the engineering code on the empty cigarette carton and the capacitive sensor on the left inner wall of the sleeve of the cigarette carton sealing machine detects that the cigarette stacking position is full, the capacitive sensor controls the motor for controlling the cigarette stacking in the cigarette carton sealing machine to act through the PLC of the box condition associated industrial computer, and the first layer of cigarettes in the cigarette stacking position of the cigarette carton sealing machine is lifted once.

[0026] If the motor for controlling the cigarette stacking in the cigarette carton sealing machine lifts the first layer of cigarettes in the cigarette stacking position of the cigarette carton sealing machine, the per-layer cigarette lifting in-place monitoring member arranged on the rotating shaft connected with the cam of the motor for controlling the cigarette stacking in the cigarette stacking position detects that the cam rotates to a certain angle to lift a layer of cigarettes to the position, the per-layer cigarette lifting in-place monitoring member controls the motor for controlling the cigarette stacking in the cigarette carton sealing machine to temporarily stop the stacking action and controls the bar code scanner close to the cigarette stacking position to read the bar code on each cigarette in the first layer of cigarettes through the PLC of the box condition associated industrial computer, and the cigarette layer lifting and stacking and the bar code scanning on each cigarette in the lifted layer of cigarettes are sequentially performed five times, and the number of stacked cigarette layers is five.

[0027] If the number of stacked cigarette layers is in place and the bar code scanner correctly reads the bar code on each cigarette in the five layers of cigarettes, the per-layer cigarette stacking in-place monitoring member controls the air cylinder behind the cigarette stacking position to drive the push plate to act through the PLC of the box condition associated industrial computer, and the five-layer cigarette stack in the cigarette stacking position is pushed into the empty cigarette carton pre-connected to the sleeve of the cigarette carton sealing machine and scanned successfully by the scanning intelligent camera, and the process of pushing the cigarette stack is performed twice, and 50 cigarettes are loaded into the empty cigarette carton.

[0028] If the number of cigarette layers is stacked in place by the cigarette layer stacking in place monitoring piece and the barcode scanner fails to read the barcode on any one cigarette in the five layers of cigarette layers, the cigarette layer stacking in place monitoring piece controls the cylinder behind the cigarette stacking station through the PLC on the box condition associated industrial computer to drive the push plate to act, pushes the cigarette stack stacked at the cigarette stacking station into the empty cigarette box pre-connected to the sealing machine sleeve and scanned successfully by the scanning intelligent camera, so that the process of pushing the cigarette stack is carried out twice, and then 50 cigarettes are loaded into an empty cigarette box, but the barcode scanner will control the alarm through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer to issue an alarm after the cigarette stack is completely loaded into the cigarette box, reminding the operator to take out the cigarette loaded into the cigarette box from the cigarette box and re-scan and pack.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1、The first box condition associated piece and the first box condition associated piece are arranged on the manual sealing machine, so that when the manual sealing machine needs to scan and associate part of the stations, the first box condition associated piece arranged above the cigarette box placing table connected with the sealing machine sleeve first automatically scans the engineering code on the cigarette box to be loaded, and then the second box condition associated piece arranged in the sealing machine and close to the cigarette stacking station automatically reads the code of each cigarette in the cigarette layer in the cigarette stack, so that the box association of the manual sealing machine station can be completed without manual scanning with a scanning gun, thereby solving the problem of time consumption, high labor intensity and high labor cost caused by the manual scanning and association of each station with a scanning gun during the loading of the cigarette stack on the manual sealing machine.

[0031] 2、The sleeve ring connected to one end of the rotating rod in the first box condition associated piece is adjustably connected to the connecting shaft on the support connected to the outer wall of the sealing machine through the adjusting bolt, the other end of the rotating rod is connected to the fixed end of the connecting rod, the first adjusting block is adjustably connected to the connecting rod, the bottom of the first adjusting block is connected to the top of the scanning intelligent camera, and the first box condition associated piece can be used to take a photo of the engineering code on the top of the empty cigarette box connected to the sealing machine sleeve in the cigarette box placing table and scan the engineering code, the rotating rod is adjusted to be above the empty cigarette box placed on the cigarette box placing table, the first adjusting block adjustably connected to the connecting rod is adjusted to move on the connecting rod, the scanning intelligent camera connected to the first adjusting block is moved above the engineering code position on the different specification cigarette boxes, and the engineering code on the top of the different specification cigarette boxes on the cigarette box placing table is taken and scanned, so that the engineering code on the different specification cigarette boxes is automatically scanned.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] As shown in the figure, in order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application. Figures 1-7 EXAMPLE

[0041] ​​​The existing manual cartoning machine can realize the process of loading the tobacco stack into the tobacco box. However, in the code scanning and association link which does not affect the cartoning of the cigarettes, the manual scanning gun is generally used to associate the box conditions of part of the stations (part of the stations: cigarette code scanning station and tobacco box code scanning station). This scanning and association method by using the manual scanning gun not only increases the labor intensity, but also increases the labor cost and time consumption. In addition, when the cigarette conveying is fast or the manual concentration is not good, the condition of missing scanning the bar code on the cigarette is also prone to occur.

[0042] Therefore, the application provides a manual cartoning machine box condition association device and method to solve the problem of time consumption, labor intensity and high labor cost caused by the scanning and association method of part of the stations by using the manual scanning gun in the process of loading the tobacco stack into the manual cartoning machine.

[0043] Specifically, in the first aspect, the application provides a manual cartoning machine box condition association device. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a manual cartoning machine box condition association device comprises a first box condition association part 1 and a second box condition association part 10; wherein the rotating end of the first box condition association part 1 is rotatably connected with the outer wall of the cartoning machine 2, the photographing end of the first box condition association part 1 is located above the tobacco box placing table 4 connected with the cartoning machine sleeve 3, the first box condition association part 1 is electrically connected with the motor for controlling the tobacco stack in the middle of the cartoning machine 2 through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer 5, after the engineering code scanning on the tobacco box placed on the tobacco box placing table 4 is successful, the first box condition association part 1 drives the motor for controlling the tobacco stack through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer 5 to act, and the tobacco stack conveyed to the tobacco stack station 6 through the tobacco stack conveying belt 7 in the cartoning machine 2 and monitored to be in place by the tobacco in-place monitoring part 9 on the inner wall of the cartoning machine 2 is stacked; the fixed end of the second box condition association part 10 is arranged on the right inner wall of the cartoning machine 2, the code reading end of the second box condition association part 10 faces the tobacco stack station 6, and the second box condition association part 10 is electrically connected with the alarm arranged on the outer wall of the cartoning machine 2 and the tobacco layer lifting in-place monitoring part 11 arranged on each layer of the rotating shaft connected with the cam of the motor for controlling the tobacco stack through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer 5, respectively; the second box condition association part 10 is used for detecting the bar code on each cigarette in the tobacco layer after the motor for controlling the tobacco stack in the tobacco stack station 6 lifts each layer of the tobacco layer after the tobacco layer lifting in-place monitoring part 11 detects that the cam 26 connected with the output shaft of the motor for controlling the tobacco stack rotates to a certain angle to lift each layer of the tobacco layer to be in place.

[0044] In actual application, when the first box correlation piece 1 and the second box correlation piece 2 on the manual cartoning machine are used to correlate the cartoning process of the cigarette, the engineering code on the carton of the to-be-packed cigarette stack is automatically scanned by the first box condition correlation piece 1 arranged above the carton placing table 4 connected with the cartoning machine sleeve 3, and then each cigarette in the cigarette layer in the cigarette stack is automatically read by the second box condition correlation piece 10 arranged in the cartoning machine 2 and close to the cigarette stacking station 6. If the second box condition correlation piece 10 successfully scans the barcode on each cigarette in the five-layer cigarette layer and the cigarette layer stacking in place monitoring piece 12 arranged on the right inner wall of the cartoning machine 2 close to the cigarette stacking station 6 monitors that the cigarette layer has been stacked in place (stacking in place: five-layer cigarette layer), the cigarette layer stacking in place monitoring piece 12 controls the cylinder in the cartoning machine 2 and located at the back side of the cigarette stacking station 6 to drive the push plate 13 to push the stacked five-layer cigarette layer into the carton which is sleeved with the cartoning machine sleeve 3 and successfully scanned by the first box condition correlation piece 1 through the PLC in the box condition correlation industrial computer 5. After the process of pushing the cigarette layer twice, the second box condition correlation piece 10 sends the information of successful cartoning to the PLC in the box condition correlation industrial computer 5, and the HMI on the box condition correlation industrial computer 5 displays successful cartoning and prompts the operator to take away the carton. If the second box condition correlation piece 10 fails to scan the barcode on any cigarette in the five-layer cigarette layer and the cigarette layer stacking in place monitoring piece 12 arranged on the right inner wall of the cartoning machine 2 close to the cigarette stacking station 6 monitors that the cigarette layer has been stacked in place (stacking in place: five-layer cigarette layer), the cigarette layer stacking in place monitoring piece 12 controls the cylinder in the cartoning machine 2 and located at the back side of the cigarette stacking station 6 to drive the push plate 13 to push the stacked five-layer cigarette layer into the carton which is sleeved with the cartoning machine sleeve 3 and successfully scanned by the first box condition correlation piece 1. After the process of pushing the cigarette layer twice, the second box condition correlation piece 10 controls the alarm through the PLC in the box condition correlation industrial computer 5 to issue an alarm after all the cigarettes are loaded into the carton, reminding the operator to take out the cigarettes loaded into the carton from the carton and re-scan and pack the cigarettes. Without manual scanning by a scanning gun, the box correlation of the grid station in the manual cartoning machine 2 is completed, thereby solving the problems of time consumption, high labor intensity and high labor cost caused by the manual scanning correlation of each station in the process of packing the cigarette stack in the manual cartoning machine.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 To avoid the situation of idle running of the cigarette conveying belt 7, a cigarette placing monitoring piece 27 is arranged on the side wall close to the feeding end of the cigarette conveying belt 7. The cigarette placing monitoring piece 27 can be an infrared detection sensor, and the cigarette placing monitoring piece 27 can also be other detection sensors. The infrared detection sensor is electrically connected with the motor controlling the operation of the cigarette conveying belt 7 through the PLC in the box condition correlation industrial computer 5. The discharging end of the cigarette conveying belt 7 extends from the cartoning machine inlet 8 to the cigarette stacking station 6 in the middle of the cartoning machine 2.

[0046] In actual use, when the operator puts the cigarette carton on the feeding end of the cigarette conveying belt 7 and it is monitored by the infrared detection sensor, the infrared detection sensor will drive the motor of the cigarette conveying belt 7 to operate through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer 5, so that the cigarette carton on the cigarette conveying belt 7 is sent to the cigarette stacking station 6 in the carton sealing machine 2 through the inlet 8 of the carton sealing machine, thereby avoiding the idling state of the cigarette conveying belt 7 when there is no cigarette carton on the cigarette conveying belt 7.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to complete the process of starting the stacking motor at the cigarette stacking station 6 after the two conditions that the cigarette carton is full (full: five cigarettes in each layer of cigarette) at the cigarette stacking station 6 monitored by the cigarette position monitoring member 9 and the engineering code on the empty cigarette carton scanned by the first box condition association member 1 is correct, the cigarette position monitoring member 9 is electrically connected to the motor for controlling the cigarette stacking through the PLC in the first box condition association member 1 and the box condition association industrial computer 5.

[0048] In actual use, after the engineering code on the cigarette carton placed on the cigarette carton placing table 4 is successfully scanned by the first box condition association member 1 and the cigarette position monitoring member 9 detects that the cigarette carton conveyed to the cigarette stacking station 6 by the cigarette conveying belt 7 is full, the cigarette position monitoring member 9 and the first box condition association member 1 after successfully scanning the cigarette carton code are controlled to actuate the motor for controlling the cigarette stacking through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer 5, so that the cigarette layer with five cigarettes is lifted once, thereby avoiding the situation that the cigarette is loaded into the cigarette carton with unsuccessful scanning, and further saving the time of box association condition.

[0049] It should be noted that the infrared detection sensor is a prior art and is not improved or designed, so its structure is not described in detail.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The cigarette position monitoring member 9 for monitoring whether the cigarette carton reaches the full position (full: five cigarettes in each layer of cigarette) at the cigarette stacking station 6 is a capacitive sensor, which is arranged on the left inner wall of the carton sealing machine sleeve 3 and corresponds to the full position of the cigarette at the cigarette stacking station 6, and is used for monitoring whether the cigarette at the cigarette stacking station 6 is full.

[0051] In actual use, when the capacitor sensor monitors that the full position of the cigarette rod is reached in the cigarette rod stacking station 6 conveyed by the cigarette rod conveying belt 7 into the cartoning machine 2 and the first box condition associated piece 1 scans the engineering code on the carton placed on the carton placing table 4 correctly, the capacitor sensor and the first box condition associated piece 1 after scanning the engineering code of the carton correctly control the motor for controlling the cigarette rod stacking in the cartoning machine through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer 5 to lift the cigarette layer with five cigarette rods in each layer once.

[0052] It should be noted that the capacitor sensor is a prior art, and no improvement or design is made, so the structure is not described in detail.

[0053] It should be noted that the capacitor sensor for monitoring whether the full position of the cigarette rod is reached in the cigarette rod stacking station 6 (full position: five cigarette rods in a layer) can be set on the inner wall of the cartoning machine 2 near the cigarette rod stacking station 6 according to the actual demand of the monitoring accuracy of the full position of the cigarette rod.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 The each-layer cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring piece 11 for monitoring the full position of the cigarette layer lifted by the stacking motor is an angle sensor, which is arranged on the rotating shaft connected with the cam 26 of the cigarette rod stacking motor in the cigarette rod stacking station 6, and the outer wall of the angle sensor and the each-layer cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring piece 11 are electrically connected with the motor for controlling the cigarette rod stacking in the cartoning machine 2 through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer 5.

[0055] In actual use, when the each-layer cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring piece 11 detects that the cam 26 connected with the output shaft of the motor for controlling the cigarette rod stacking rotates to a certain angle to lift a layer of cigarette layer to the position, that is, the cigarette rod stacking motor lifts a layer of cigarette layer to the position, the each-layer cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring piece 11 will control the motor for controlling the cigarette rod stacking in the cartoning machine 2 to stop temporarily for a period of time through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer 5 to wait for the cigarette rod conveying belt 7 to convey the cigarette rod again to the cigarette rod stacking station 6 in the cartoning machine 2 for stacking again.

[0056] It should be noted that the each-layer cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring piece 11 will control the motor for controlling the cigarette rod stacking in the cartoning machine 2 to stop temporarily for a period of time through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer 5, and the period of time for temporarily stopping can be realized by adding a time relay in the circuit connected with the motor for controlling the cigarette rod stacking in the each-layer cigarette layer lifting to position monitoring piece 11.

[0057] It should be noted that the cigarette stack motor and the cam 26 connected with the motor output shaft of the cigarette stack are all components in the cigarette stack station 6 in the cartoning machine. The components involved in the cigarette stack station 6 in the cartoning machine and the connection relationship between the components are prior art, and no improvement and design are made to them, so the structure thereof will not be described in detail.

[0063] In actual application, when the first box condition associated element 1 takes pictures and scans the engineering code on the top of the empty cigarette box located in the cigarette box placing table 4 and sleeved in the sealing machine sleeve 3, first, the rotating rod 14 is adjusted to be above the empty cigarette box placed on the cigarette box placing table 4 according to the size of the cigarette box photographed and scanned by the first box condition associated element 1, then the first adjusting block 16 adjustably connected to the connecting rod 15 is adjusted to move on the connecting rod 15 according to the position of the engineering code on the cigarette box of different specifications, so that the intelligent camera 17 connected with the first adjusting block 16 is moved above the engineering code position on the cigarette box of different specifications, and the engineering code on the top of the cigarette box of different specifications on the cigarette box placing table 4 is photographed and scanned, so as to satisfy the automatic scanning of the engineering code on the cigarette box of different specifications.

[0064] It should be noted that the sleeve ring 18 connected to one end of the rotating rod 14 is connected to the connecting shaft 19 on the support connected to the outer wall of the sealing machine 2 through an adjusting bolt, that is, a through hole is formed in the outer wall of the sleeve ring 18, and a threaded hole is formed in the outer wall of the connecting shaft 19 at intervals, the nut of the locking bolt is in movable contact with the through hole in the outer wall of the sleeve ring 18, the bolt rod of the locking bolt is screwed into the threaded hole in the outer wall of the connecting shaft 19, and a plurality of threaded holes are formed in the outer wall of the connecting shaft 19 at intervals; when the rotating rod 14 is adjusted to a certain swing angle, the locking bolt is first separated from the sleeve ring 18 and the connecting shaft 19, and then the sleeve ring 18 and the connecting shaft 19 are in a rotating state, at this time, the rotating rod 14 is first rotated to a suitable angle, and then the bolt rod of the locking bolt is screwed into the corresponding threaded hole in the outer wall of the connecting shaft 19 through the through hole in the sleeve ring 18 to complete the adjustment and locking process of the swing angle of the rotating rod 14.

[0065] It should be noted that the first adjusting block 16 includes a clamp seat 30 and an adjusting bolt 31; the bottom of the clamp seat 30 is connected to the top of the connecting plate 32, a slot 33 is formed in the upper half of the clamp seat 30, the slot 33 is in communication with the connecting rod sleeve through hole 34 formed in the middle of the clamp seat 30, and the two clamp arms 35 defined by the slot 33 in the upper half of the clamp seat 30 are connected through the adjusting bolt 31; when the first adjusting block 16 is adjusted by moving transversely along the connecting rod 15, the adjusting bolt is not connected to the two clamp arms defined by the slot in the upper half of the clamp seat, and the connecting rod sleeve through hole in the clamp seat is in a movable state with the connecting rod 15, at this time, the clamp seat is first moved transversely along the connecting rod 15 to a suitable distance, and then the two clamp arms defined by the slot in the upper half of the clamp seat are screwed to complete the adjustment and locking process of the first adjusting block 16 moving transversely along the connecting rod 15.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 6 In order to prevent the empty tobacco box from sliding out of the discharging end of the tobacco box placing table 4 due to the pushing force when the stacked tobacco stack is pushed into the empty tobacco box pre-connected to the sealing machine sleeve 3 and located on the tobacco box placing table 4, a baffle 20 is arranged at the end of the tobacco box placing table 4 away from the sealing machine sleeve 3 for resisting the tobacco box, the baffle 20 after being turned over and the conveying baffles 21 on the two sides of the tobacco box placing table 4 define a tobacco box placing area 22, the baffle 20 is rotationally connected to the end of the tobacco box placing table 4, and a plug hole one 28 is formed in the two side walls of the baffle 20. The plug hole one 28 is detachably connected to the plug hole two 29 on the conveying baffle 21 near the discharging end of the tobacco box placing table 4 through a plug pin.

[0067] In actual use, when the push plate in the cartoning machine 2 pushes the tobacco stack into the empty carton, the empty carton is first placed in the carton placing area 22 and is sleeved on the cartoning machine sleeve 3, then the baffle 20 connected to the discharge end of the carton placing table 4 is turned over to form a closure with the conveying baffles 21 on both sides of the carton placing table 4, and the insertion pin is inserted into the insertion hole one on the side wall of the baffle 20 and the insertion hole two on the conveying baffle 21 at the same time. In this way, during the process of pushing the tobacco stack that has been stacked in place into the empty carton that is sleeved on the cartoning machine sleeve 3 and located on the carton placing table 4, the empty carton will not slide out of the discharge end of the carton placing table 4 due to the pushing force when the tobacco stack enters, because the baffle 20 resists the back of the empty carton. When the tobacco stack needs to be taken out from the cartoning machine sleeve 3 after all the tobacco stacks enter the carton, the insertion pin inserted into the insertion hole one on the side wall of the baffle 20 and the insertion hole two on the conveying baffle 21 is first removed, then the baffle 20 is turned over to form a closure with the conveying baffle 21, and then the carton filled with tobacco stacks is taken out from the cartoning machine sleeve 3.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , the second box condition association device 10 for reading the bar code on each cigarette in the tobacco layer at the tobacco stack station 6 includes an L-shaped connecting rod 23, a second adjusting block 24, and a bar code scanner 25. The L-shaped connecting rod 23 is used as a support for the second adjusting block 24.

The bar code scanner 25 is used to read the two-bit code on each cigarette in the tobacco layer.

[0069] Specifically, the first end of the L-shaped connecting rod 23 is connected to the right wall in the cartoning machine 2. Five second adjusting blocks 24 are adjustably connected to the L-shaped connecting rod 23. The side wall of each second adjusting block 24 is connected to the side wall of the bar code scanner 25. The reading end of the bar code scanner 25 corresponds to the tobacco layer stacked at the tobacco stack station 6 in the cartoning machine 2. The bar code scanner 25 is electrically connected to each layer of the tobacco layer lifting in place monitoring device 11 and the alarm device arranged outside the cartoning machine through the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer 5. The bar code scanner 25 is used to scan the bar code on each cigarette in the five-layer tobacco layer stacked at the tobacco stack station 6. The second adjusting block 24 has the same structure as the first adjusting block 16, that is, the second adjusting block 24 includes a clamp seat and an adjusting bolt. The bottom of the clamp seat is connected to the top of the connecting plate. A slot is formed in the upper half of the clamp seat. The slot and the connecting rod sleeve through hole formed in the middle of the clamp seat are interconnected. The two clamp arms defined by the slot in the upper half of the clamp seat are adjustably connected by the adjusting bolt.

[0070] In actual application, when the bar code scanner 25 successfully scans the bar code on each cigarette in the five-layer cigarette layer and the cigarette layer stacking-in-place monitoring member 12 arranged on the right inner side wall of the carton sealing machine 2 near the cigarette stacking station 6 monitors that the cigarette layer has been stacked in place, the cigarette layer stacking-in-place monitoring member 12 will control the cylinder in the carton sealing machine 2 behind the cigarette stacking station 6 to drive the push plate 13 to push the stacked five-layer cigarette layer into the carton through the carton sealing machine sleeve 3 and the scanning intelligent camera 17, and after the pushing process is performed twice, the bar code scanner 25 sends the information of successful carton loading to the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer 5, and the HMI on the box condition associated industrial computer 5 displays successful carton loading.

[0071] When the bar code scanner 25 fails to scan the bar code on each cigarette in the five-layer cigarette layer and the cigarette layer stacking-in-place monitoring member 12 arranged on the right inner side wall of the carton sealing machine 2 near the cigarette stacking station 6 monitors that the cigarette layer has been stacked into five layers, the cigarette layer stacking-in-place monitoring member 12 will control the cylinder in the carton sealing machine 2 behind the cigarette stacking station 6 to drive the push plate 13 to push the stacked five-layer cigarette layer into the carton through the carton sealing machine sleeve 3 and the scanning intelligent camera 17, and after the pushing process is performed twice, the bar code scanner 25 controls the alarm through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer 5 to issue an alarm after all the cigarettes are loaded into the carton, reminding the operator to take out the cigarettes loaded into the carton from the carton and re-scan and load the cigarettes into the carton.

[0072] It should be noted that the number of pushing actions can be monitored by a counter (the counter can be installed on the L-shaped connecting rod 23, and the counter is used to monitor the number of times of pushing the cigarettes by the push plate 13), and the counter is electrically connected to the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer 5.

[0073] The above is a box condition associated device of a manual carton sealing machine according to the first aspect of the present application, and the following is a box condition associated method of a manual carton sealing machine according to the second aspect of the present application, which comprises the following steps:

[0074] If the cigarette stacking-in-place monitoring member 27 on the side wall of the inlet end of the cigarette conveying belt 7 monitors that the cigarettes are put in, the cigarette stacking-in-place monitoring member 27 will control the motor driving the cigarette conveying belt 7 to operate through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer 5, and the cigarettes are sent from the cigarette conveying belt 7 to the cigarette stacking station 6 in the middle of the carton sealing machine 2;

[0075] The cigarette rod on the cigarette rod conveying belt 7 is sent to the cigarette rod stacking position 6 inside the cartoning machine 2, and at the same time, the engineering code on the top of the empty cigarette box pre-connected to the cartoning machine sleeve 3 and placed in the cigarette box placement area 22 is scanned by the intelligent code scanning camera 17. The scanned picture is transmitted to the box condition association industrial computer 5, and the picture recognition software in the box condition association industrial computer 5 recognizes the transmitted engineering code picture;

[0076] If the picture recognition software in the box condition association industrial computer 5 fails to recognize the engineering code on the empty cigarette box, the PLC in the box condition association industrial computer 5 controls the motor for controlling the cigarette rod stacking in the cartoning machine 2 to not act, and the HMI interface on the box condition association industrial computer 5 displays that the cigarette box is waiting for code scanning. The cigarette rod conveying belt 7 is stopped by pressing the emergency stop switch to continue sending the cigarette rod to the cigarette rod stacking position 6 of the cartoning machine 2.

[0077] If the picture recognition software in the box condition association industrial computer 5 successfully recognizes the engineering code on the empty cigarette box and the capacitive sensor on the left inner wall of the cartoning machine sleeve 3 monitors that the cigarette rod stacking position 6 is full, the capacitive sensor controls the motor for controlling the cigarette rod stacking in the cartoning machine 2 to act through the PLC on the box condition association industrial computer 5, and the first layer of cigarette rod is lifted once in the cigarette rod stacking position 6 in the cartoning machine 2.

[0078] If the cigarette rod stacking motor lifts the first layer of cigarette rod in the cigarette rod stacking position 6 in the cartoning machine 2 through the cigarette rod conveying belt 7, and the per-layer cigarette rod lifting to position monitoring member 11 arranged on the rotating shaft connected with the cam 26 in the cigarette rod stacking position 6 monitors that the cam 26 rotates to a certain angle that can lift a layer of cigarette rod to position, the per-layer cigarette rod lifting to position monitoring member 11 temporarily stops the stacking action of the cigarette rod stacking motor and controls the bar code scanner 25 close to the cigarette rod stacking position 6 to read the bar code on each cigarette rod in the first layer of cigarette rod through the PLC on the box condition association industrial computer 5. The process of lifting and stacking the cigarette rod and scanning the bar code on each cigarette rod in the lifted layer of cigarette rod is performed five times in turn, and the number of layers of cigarette rod is five.

[0079] If the number of layers of cigarette rod is stacked to position (the number of layers of cigarette rod is five), and the bar code scanner 25 correctly reads the bar code on each cigarette rod in the five layers of cigarette rod, the per-layer cigarette rod stacking to position monitoring member 12 controls the push plate 13 behind the cigarette rod stacking position 6 to act through the PLC on the box condition association industrial computer 5, and pushes the five-layer cigarette rod stack in the cigarette rod stacking position 6 into the empty cigarette box pre-connected to the cartoning machine sleeve 3 and scanned successfully by the intelligent code scanning camera 17. The process of pushing the cigarette rod stack is performed twice in turn, and 50 cigarette rods are loaded into the empty cigarette box. The HMI on the box condition association industrial computer 5 displays that the cartoning is successful, and prompts the operator to take the box away.

[0080] If the number of cigarette layers is stacked in place (the number of cigarette layers is stacked in place: the cigarette layer stack is five layers) is monitored by the cigarette layer stacking monitoring member 12 and the bar code scanner 25 fails to read the bar code on any one of the five cigarette layers, the cigarette layer stacking monitoring member 12 controls the push plate 13 behind the cigarette stacking station 6 through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial computer 5 to drive the cylinder to act, and the cigarette stack stacked at the cigarette stacking station 6 is pushed into the empty cigarette box pre-connected to the sealing machine sleeve 3 and scanned successfully by the scanning intelligent camera 17. The process of pushing the cigarette stack is carried out twice, and then 50 cigarette sticks are loaded into an empty cigarette box. However, the bar code scanner 25 will control the alarm in the PLC of the box condition associated industrial computer to issue an alarm after the cigarette stack is completely loaded into the cigarette box, reminding the operator to take out the cigarette sticks loaded into the cigarette box from the cigarette box and re-scan and pack them.

The barcode scanner (25) controls the alarm device in the industrial control computer (5) through the box condition associated industrial control computer (5) to issue an alarm after all the cigarettes are loaded into the cigarette box, reminding the operator to take the cigarettes loaded into the cigarette box out of the cigarette box and re-scan and repack them.

10. The association method of the manual carton sealing machine box condition association device according to any one of claims 1-9, comprising the following steps: If the cigarettes on the side wall of the feed end of the cigarette conveyor belt (7) are detected by the cigarettes being placed into the monitoring device (27), the motor driving the cigarette conveyor belt (7) will be activated by the PLC in the industrial control computer (5) which is associated with the box conditions, and the cigarettes will be sent from the cigarette conveyor belt (7) through the inlet (8) of the sealing machine to the cigarette stacking station (6) in the middle of the sealing machine (2); While the cigarettes on the cigarette conveyor belt (7) are being fed into the cigarette stacking station (6) inside the sealing machine (2), the barcode scanning smart camera (17) takes a picture of the engineering code on the top of the empty cigarette box that is pre-fitted onto the sealing machine sleeve (3) and placed in the cigarette box placement area (22). The picture is then transmitted to the box condition associated industrial control computer (5), and the image recognition software in the box condition associated industrial control computer (5) recognizes the transmitted engineering code image. If the image recognition software in the box-condition associated industrial control computer (5) fails to recognize the engineering code on the empty cigarette box, the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer (5) will control the motor controlling the stacking of cigarette sticks in the sealing machine (2) to stop moving, and will display "waiting for cigarette box scanning" on the HMI interface on the box-condition associated industrial control computer (5). The cigarette stick conveyor belt (7) will be stopped by pressing the emergency stop switch to continue feeding cigarette sticks to the stacking station (6) of the sealing machine (2). If the image recognition software in the box-condition associated industrial control computer (5) successfully recognizes the engineering code on the empty cigarette box and the capacitive sensor on the left inner wall of the sealing machine sleeve (3) detects that the cigarettes in the cigarette stacking station (6) are full, the capacitive sensor controls the motor in the sealing machine (2) to control the cigarette stacking through the PLC on the box-condition associated industrial control computer (5), and lifts the first layer of cigarettes at the cigarette stacking station (6) in the sealing machine (2) once, which is fed into the sealing machine (2) by the cigarette conveyor belt (7); If the cigarette stacking motor lifts the first layer of cigarettes sent into the cigarette stacking station (6) of the sealing machine (2) by the cigarette stacking station (7), and the monitoring device (11) for each layer of cigarettes is set on the rotating shaft connected to the cigarette stacking motor and the cam (26) in the cigarette stacking station (6) detects that the cam (26) can lift one layer of cigarettes to the correct position, the monitoring device (11) controls the cigarette stacking motor to temporarily stop the stacking action and controls the barcode scanner (25) near the cigarette stacking station (6) to read the barcode on each cigarette in the first layer of cigarettes. If the process of stacking and scanning the barcode on each cigarette in each layer of cigarettes is carried out five times in sequence, then the number of cigarette layers is five. If the tobacco stacking is in place and detected by the tobacco stacking monitoring device (12), and the barcode scanner (25) correctly reads the barcode on each tobacco stick in the five layers, the tobacco stacking monitoring device (12) controls the cylinder on the back of the tobacco stacking station (6) to drive the push plate (13) through the PLC on the box condition associated industrial control computer (5). The five-layer tobacco stack at the tobacco stacking station (6) is pushed into the empty tobacco box that has been pre-fitted to the sealing machine sleeve (3) and successfully scanned by the barcode scanning smart camera (17). This process of pushing the tobacco stack is repeated twice, so that 50 tobacco sticks are loaded into an empty tobacco box. The HMI on the box condition associated industrial control computer (5) will show that the box is successfully packed and prompt the operator to take the box away. If the stacking of tobacco layers is not in place and is detected by the tobacco layer stacking position monitoring device (12), and the barcode scanner (25) fails to read the barcode on any tobacco stick in the five layers, the tobacco layer stacking position monitoring device (12) controls the cylinder on the back of the tobacco stacking station (6) to drive the push plate (13) through the PLC on the box condition associated industrial control computer (5), pushing the tobacco stack that has been stacked into five layers at the tobacco stacking station (6) into the empty tobacco box that has been pre-fitted to the sealing machine sleeve (3) and successfully scanned by the barcode scanning smart camera (17). This process of pushing the tobacco stack is repeated twice, so that 50 tobacco sticks are loaded into an empty tobacco box. However, the barcode scanner (25) will control the alarm device through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to issue an alarm after all the tobacco stacks are loaded into the tobacco box, reminding the operator to take the tobacco sticks loaded into the tobacco box out of the tobacco box and re-scan and pack them.
