[0044] During the process of a cigarette factory using a cigarette-making machine to produce cigarettes, a lot of waste cigarette sticks will be generated. These waste cigarette sticks are usually divided into two categories: running-strip cigarettes and rework cigarettes (including ordinary cigarette sticks, double-length cigarette sticks, double-length cigarette strips, etc.). The cigarette-making machine will discharge the waste cigarette sticks through the waste cigarette outlet of the cigarette magazine.

[0045] In the prior art, the collection method of waste cigarette sticks at the waste cigarette outlet is usually as follows: First, place a collection bucket with a plastic bag under the waste cigarette outlet to collect various waste cigarette sticks. Then, manually check regularly whether the cigarette sticks in the collection bucket are full. After determining that the waste cigarette in the collection bucket is full, manually take away the plastic bag filled with waste cigarettes, and then place a new plastic bag to receive waste cigarettes. Subsequently, the worker also needs to manually pick out the running-strip cigarettes in the bag, which results in a great labor intensity and low efficiency for the worker.

[0046] Based on this, to solve the above problems, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in one or more embodiments of the present application, a waste cigarette treatment device 100 is provided. By constructing two mutually separated first material dropping channels 1012 and second material dropping channels 1013 in the main body 101 of the material dropping unit 10, the detection unit 13, the control unit and the material distribution component 102 can separate the rework cigarettes and the running strip cigarettes, and introduce the separated rework cigarettes and running strip cigarettes into the first material dropping channel 1012 and the second material dropping channel 1013 respectively, so as to realize the separate collection of the running strip cigarettes and the rework cigarettes. Thus, the waste cigarette treatment device 100 provided in the embodiments of the present application can realize the automatic separation and collection of the rework cigarettes and the running strip cigarettes, effectively improve the waste cigarette treatment efficiency, and reduce the labor cost.

[0047] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the waste cigarette treatment device 100 includes a material dropping unit 10, a conveying unit 11, a collecting unit 12, a detection unit 13 and a control unit. The material dropping unit 10 includes a main body 101 and a material distribution component 102. In the main body 101, there are formed a first material dropping channel 1012 and a second material dropping channel 1013 which are mutually separated. An inlet 1011, a first outlet 1014 and a second outlet 1015 are also formed on the main body 101. The inlet 1011 communicates with the feeding ends of the first material dropping channel 1012 and the second material dropping channel 1013. The first outlet 1014 communicates with the discharging end of the first material dropping channel 1012. The second outlet 1015 communicates with the discharging end of the second material dropping channel 1013. The material distribution component 102 is arranged at the inlet 1011 and is movably connected with the main body 101. The material distribution component 102 is configured to be able to rotate relative to the main body 101 to direct the rework cigarettes to the first material dropping channel 1012 and direct the running strip cigarettes to the second material dropping channel 1013. The conveying unit 11 is arranged on one side of the material dropping unit 10 and is located on the dropping path of the first outlet 1014. The conveying unit 11 is configured to convey the rework cigarettes dropped from the first outlet 1014. A part of the collecting unit 12 is arranged downstream of the conveying unit 11 and is configured to collect the rework cigarettes conveyed by the conveying unit 11. Another part of the collecting unit 12 is arranged on the discharging path of the second outlet 1015 and is configured to collect the running strip cigarettes discharged from the second outlet 1015. The detection unit 13 includes a first detection piece (not shown). The first detection piece is connected to the waste cigarette outlet of the cigarette making machine, and the first detection piece is used to detect the type of waste cigarettes dropped from the waste cigarette outlet. The control unit is communicatively connected with the first detection piece and the material distribution component 102. The control piece is configured to control the material distribution component 102 to rotate relative to the main body 101 according to the type of waste cigarettes dropped from the waste cigarette outlet, so as to direct the rework cigarettes to the first material dropping channel 1012 or direct the running strip cigarettes to the second material dropping channel 1013.

[0048] It can be understood that during the specific operation process of the waste smoke treatment device 100, waste smoke drops from the waste smoke outlet of the cigarette making machine, and the first detection component can detect the type of waste smoke dropping from the waste smoke outlet. Among them, when the first detection component detects that the waste smoke dropping from the waste smoke outlet is rework smoke, the first detection component will transmit the detection result to the control unit, and the control unit will control the material distribution component 102 to rotate relative to the main body 101 according to the detection result to guide the rework smoke to the first material dropping channel 1012. Thereafter, the rework smoke will be discharged from the first discharge port 1014 of the first material dropping channel 1012, drop onto the conveying unit 11, and then be conveyed by the conveying unit 11 into the collection unit 12 to complete the collection. When the first detection component detects that the waste smoke dropping from the waste smoke outlet is running strip smoke, the first detection component will transmit the detection result to the control unit, and the control unit will control the material distribution component 102 to rotate relative to the main body 101 according to the detection result to guide the running strip smoke to the second material dropping channel 1013. Thereafter, the running strip smoke will be discharged from the second discharge port 1015 of the second material dropping channel 1013 and drop into the collection unit 12 to complete the collection.

[0049] In this way, the waste smoke treatment device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can realize the separation of rework smoke and running strip smoke through the mutual cooperation of the detection unit 13, the control unit and the material distribution component 102, and the material distribution component 102 can respectively introduce the separated rework smoke and running strip smoke into the first material dropping channel 1012 and the second material dropping channel 1013 to realize the separate collection of running strip smoke and rework smoke, thereby effectively improving the waste smoke treatment efficiency and reducing the labor cost.

[0050] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the waste smoke treatment device 100 further includes a handling unit (not shown), and the handling unit is used to handle the collection unit 12.

[0051] It can be understood that during the specific operation process of the waste smoke treatment device 100, waste smoke drops from the waste smoke outlet of the cigarette making machine. The first detection component can detect the type of waste smoke dropping from the waste smoke outlet and transmit the detection result to the control unit. The control unit will control the material distribution component 102 to rotate relative to the main body 101 according to the detection result to guide the reworked cigarettes and the running strip cigarettes to the first falling channel 1012 and the second falling channel 1013 respectively. Subsequently, the reworked cigarettes will be discharged from the first discharge port 1014 of the first falling channel 1012 and drop onto the conveying unit 11, and then be conveyed by the conveying unit 11 to the collection unit 12 for collection. The running strip cigarettes will be discharged from the second discharge port 1015 of the second falling channel 1013 and drop into the collection unit 12 for collection. Further, when a part of the collection unit 12 for collecting reworked cigarettes is filled with reworked cigarettes, the handling unit can carry this part of the collection unit 12 to the next process. And the handling unit can also carry a new collection unit 12 to the downstream of the conveying unit 11 to facilitate the continuous collection of reworked cigarettes.

[0052] Correspondingly, when a part of the collection unit 12 for collecting running strip cigarettes is filled with running strip cigarettes, the handling unit can carry this part of the collection unit 12 to the next process. And the handling unit can also carry a new collection unit 12 to the discharge path of the second discharge port 1015 to facilitate the continuous collection of running strip cigarettes.

[0053] In this way, the waste smoke treatment device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can automatically handle and replace the collection unit 12 after it is filled with reworked cigarettes and / or running strip cigarettes by setting the handling unit, thereby effectively improving the waste smoke treatment efficiency and reducing the labor cost.

The first detection component can detect the type of waste smoke dropping from the waste smoke outlet and transmit the detection result to the control unit. The control unit will control the rotation of the material distribution component 102 relative to the main body 101 according to the detection result to direct the rework cigarettes and the running strip cigarettes to the first material dropping channel 1012 and the second material dropping channel 1013 respectively. Subsequently, the rework cigarettes will be discharged from the first discharge port 1014 of the first material dropping channel 1012 and drop onto the conveying unit 11, and then be conveyed by the conveying unit 11 to the collection unit 12 to complete the collection. The running strip cigarettes will be discharged from the second discharge port 1015 of the second material dropping channel 1013 and drop into the collection unit 12 to complete the collection. Further, the second detection component 131 detects in real time whether the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting rework cigarettes is full of rework cigarettes; when the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting rework cigarettes is full of rework cigarettes, the second detection component 131 transmits the detection result to the control unit, and then the control unit will control the handling unit to move this part of the collection unit 12 to the next process. And the handling unit can also move a new collection unit 12 to the downstream of the conveying unit 11 to facilitate the continuous collection of rework cigarettes.

[0057] Correspondingly, the second detection component 131 detects in real time whether the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting running strip cigarettes is full of running strip cigarettes; when the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting running strip cigarettes is full of running strip cigarettes, the second detection component 131 transmits the detection result to the control unit, and then the control unit will control the handling unit to move this part of the collection unit 12 to the next process. The handling unit can also move a new collection unit 12 to the discharging path of the second discharge port 1015 to facilitate the continuous collection of running strip cigarettes.

[0058] It should also be noted that in some other embodiments, the handling unit is configured to handle one of the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting running strip cigarettes and the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting rework cigarettes in the collection unit 12.

[0059] Based on this, when the handling unit is configured to handle the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting rework cigarettes in the collection unit 12.

[0060] During the specific operation process of the waste smoke treatment device 100, waste smoke drops from the waste smoke outlet of the cigarette making machine. The first detection component can detect the type of waste smoke dropping from the waste smoke outlet and transmit the detection result to the control unit. The control unit will control the material distribution component 102 to rotate relative to the main body 101 according to the detection result to guide the reworked cigarettes and the running strip cigarettes to the first blanking channel 1012 and the second blanking channel 1013 respectively. Subsequently, the reworked cigarettes will be discharged from the first discharge port 1014 of the first blanking channel 1012 and drop onto the conveying unit 11, and then be conveyed by the conveying unit 11 to the collection unit 12 to complete the collection. The running strip cigarettes will be discharged from the second discharge port 1015 of the second blanking channel 1013 and drop into the collection unit 12 to complete the collection. Further, the second detection component 131 detects in real time whether the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting reworked cigarettes is full of reworked cigarettes; when the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting reworked cigarettes is full of reworked cigarettes, the second detection component 131 transmits the detection result to the control unit, and then the control unit will control the handling unit to move this part of the collection unit 12 to the next process. And the handling unit can also move a new collection unit 12 to the downstream of the conveying unit 11 to facilitate the continuous collection of reworked cigarettes.

[0061] Correspondingly, the second detection component 131 detects in real time whether the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting running strip cigarettes is full of running strip cigarettes; when the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting running strip cigarettes is full of running strip cigarettes, it is necessary to manually move this part of the collection unit 12 to the next process.

[0062] When the handling unit is configured to handle the part of the collection unit 12 that collects running strip cigarettes in the collection unit 12.

[0063] During the specific operation process of the waste smoke treatment device 100, waste smoke drops from the waste smoke outlet of the cigarette making machine. The first detection component can detect the type of waste smoke dropping from the waste smoke outlet and transmit the detection result to the control unit. The control unit will, according to this detection result, control the material distribution component 102 to rotate relative to the main body 101 to guide the rework cigarettes and the running strip cigarettes to the first blanking channel 1012 and the second blanking channel 1013 respectively. Subsequently, the rework cigarettes will be discharged from the first discharge port 1014 of the first blanking channel 1012 and drop onto the conveying unit 11, and then be conveyed by the conveying unit 11 into the collection unit 12 to complete the collection. The running strip cigarettes will be discharged from the second discharge port 1015 of the second blanking channel 1013 and drop into the collection unit 12 to complete the collection. Further, the second detection component 131 detects in real time whether the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting the running strip cigarettes is full of running strip cigarettes; when the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting the running strip cigarettes is full of running strip cigarettes, the second detection component 131 transmits this detection result to the control unit, and then the control unit will control the handling unit to move this part of the collection unit 12 to the next process. The handling unit can also move a new collection unit 12 to the discharge path of the second discharge port 1015 to facilitate the continuous collection of the running strip cigarettes.

[0064] Correspondingly, the second detection component 131 detects in real time whether the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting the rework cigarettes is full of rework cigarettes; when the part of the collection unit 12 for collecting the rework cigarettes is full of rework cigarettes, it is necessary to manually move this part of the collection unit 12 to the next process.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the waste smoke treatment device 100 further includes a driving unit 14. The driving unit 14 is drivingly connected to the conveying unit 11, and the driving unit 14 is configured to drive the conveying unit 11 to move relative to the corresponding part of the collection unit 12.

[0066] It can be understood that during the specific operation process of the waste smoke treatment device 100, waste smoke drops from the waste smoke outlet of the cigarette making machine. The first detection component can detect the type of waste smoke dropping from the waste smoke outlet and transmit the detection result to the control unit. The control unit will, according to this detection result, control the material distribution component 102 to rotate relative to the main body 101 to guide the rework cigarettes and the running strip cigarettes to the first blanking channel 1012 and the second blanking channel 1013 respectively. Subsequently, the rework cigarettes will be discharged from the first discharge port 1014 of the first blanking channel 1012 and drop onto the conveying unit 11, and then be conveyed by the conveying unit 11 into the collection unit 12 to complete the collection. The running strip cigarettes will be discharged from the second discharge port 1015 of the second blanking channel 1013 and drop into the collection unit 12 to complete the collection. Further, the handling unit can automatically handle and replace the collection unit 12 after it is full of rework cigarettes and / or running strip cigarettes.

[0067] In the present application, the specific layout of the conveying unit 11 and the partial collection unit 12 arranged downstream of the conveying unit 11 is as follows: in the direction of gravity, the partial collection unit 12 is located below the conveying unit 11. In this way, after the rework cigarettes are discharged from the first discharge port 1014 of the first blanking channel 1012 and fall onto the conveying unit 11, the conveying unit 11 can convey the rework cigarettes in a directional manner, and when the rework cigarettes are conveyed to the output end of the conveying unit 11, the rework cigarettes will fall into the collection unit 12 to complete the collection.

[0068] Based on this, the present application sets the driving unit 14 to drive the conveying unit 11 to move relative to the corresponding partial collection unit 12. Then, the rework cigarettes falling from the output end of the conveying unit 11 will be arranged in the collection unit 12 along one side of the moving direction of the conveying unit 11. In this way, the aesthetics of the rework cigarette collection can be improved, the secondary sorting of the rework cigarettes can be avoided, the waste cigarette treatment efficiency can be effectively improved, and the cost can be reduced.

[0069] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the collection unit 12 includes a plurality of first collection members 121. All the first collection members 121 are arranged downstream of the conveying unit 11 and side by side along the first direction. Each first collection member 121 is formed with a first collection cavity for containing the rework cigarettes. The driving unit 14 is configured to drive the conveying unit 11 to move relative to each first collection member 121 along the first direction.

[0070] It can be understood that all the first collection members 121 are arranged below the conveying unit 11 along the direction of gravity, and all the first collection members 121 are arranged side by side along the first direction.

[0071] In this way, during the specific operation process of the waste cigarette treatment device 100, the conveying unit 11 needs to sequentially realize the collection of the rework cigarettes by each first collection member 121, that is, after filling one of all the first collection members 121 with rework cigarettes, the driving unit 14 is used to drive the conveying unit 11 to move above another first collection member 121 along the first direction and fill it with the corresponding rework cigarettes.

[0072] It should be noted that during the process of the conveying unit 11 filling the first collection member 121 with rework cigarettes, for the sake of easy understanding, it is defined that the first collection member 121 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other in the first direction. First, the conveying unit 11 will move along the first direction from the first end to the second end under the drive of the drive unit 14, and then the rework cigarettes falling from the output end of the conveying unit 11 will be arranged in a first row along the first direction from the first end to the second end. After that, the conveying unit 11 will move along the first direction from the second end to the first end under the drive of the drive unit 14, and the rework cigarettes falling from the output end of the conveying unit 11 will be stacked on the first row of rework cigarettes and arranged in a second row along the first direction from the second end to the first end. In this way, the operation is repeated to achieve the stacking of the rework cigarettes in the first collection cavity, thereby improving the aesthetics of the rework cigarette collection, avoiding secondary sorting of the rework cigarettes, facilitating the improvement of the waste cigarette treatment efficiency, and reducing the cost.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , when each first collection member 121 is arranged downstream of the conveying unit 11, it has a corresponding installation position. The detection unit 13 further includes a third detection member (not shown), the third detection member is connected to the drive unit, and the third detection member is configured to detect whether each first collection member 121 is located at its corresponding installation position. The control unit is communicatively connected to the third detection member and the conveying unit 11, and the control member is configured to control the movement of the conveying unit 11 relative to each first collection member 121 located at its corresponding installation position according to the detection result of the third detection member.

[0074] For the sake of easy understanding, this application takes the collection unit 12 including two first collection members 121 as an example for illustration. Correspondingly, there are two installation positions in the collection unit 12 for correspondingly placing the two first collection members 121.

[0075] Specifically, during the specific operation process of the waste cigarette treatment device 100, if the third detection member detects that no first collection member 121 is placed on any of the two installation positions, the control member will control the conveying unit 11 to move to the installation position where the first collection member 121 is placed, and further control the conveying unit 11 to reciprocally move relative to the first collection member 121 to achieve the stacking of the rework cigarettes in the first collection cavity of the first collection member 121, thereby improving the aesthetics of the rework cigarette collection, avoiding secondary sorting of the rework cigarettes, facilitating the improvement of the waste cigarette treatment efficiency, and reducing the cost.

[0076] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the waste smoke treatment device 100 further includes a reminder unit (not shown), the reminder unit is communicatively connected to the control unit, and the reminder unit is configured to send a reminder signal under the control of the control unit when the third detection member detects that there is no first collection member on all installation positions.

[0077] It can be understood that during the specific operation process of the waste smoke treatment device 100, if the third detection member detects that there is no first collection member in both installation positions, the control member will control the reminder unit to send a reminder signal to remind the user to replenish the first collection member 121 in time, so as to ensure the continuous operation of the waste smoke treatment device 100.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the detection unit 13 further includes a fourth detection member (not shown), the fourth detection member is connected to the first blanking channel 1012, and the third detection member is configured to detect whether there is rework smoke in the first blanking channel 1012. The control unit is communicatively connected to the fourth detection member and the conveying unit 11, and the control member is configured to control the opening and closing of the conveying unit 11 according to the detection result of the fourth detection member.

[0079] It can be understood that during the specific operation process of the waste smoke treatment device 100, when the fourth detection member detects that there is rework smoke in the first blanking channel 1012, the control member controls the conveying unit 11 to open, so as to ensure that after the rework smoke is discharged from the first discharge port 1014 of the first blanking channel 1012 and falls onto the conveying unit 11, the conveying unit 11 can only convey the rework smoke, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the waste smoke treatment device 100. When the fourth detection member detects that there is no rework smoke in the first blanking channel 1012, the control member controls the conveying unit 11 to close to avoid the ineffective operation of the conveying unit 11, save resources, and reduce the operation cost of the waste smoke treatment device 100.

[0080] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the conveying unit 11 is configured to be able to convey the rework smoke in the forward direction along the first direction and convey the rework smoke in the reverse direction along the first direction.

[0081] For ease of understanding, this application is described by taking an embodiment in which the collection unit 12 includes two first collection members 121. The two first collection members 121 are arranged side by side in the first direction. The two first collection members 121 are defined as the first collection member and the second collection member respectively. Both the first collection member and the second collection member have a first end and a second end arranged oppositely in the first direction, and the second end of the first collection member is adjacent to the first end of the second collection member. Correspondingly, the conveying unit 11 has a first end and a second end arranged oppositely in the first direction. Among them, the direction in which the conveying unit 11 conveys from the second end to the first end in the first direction is the forward direction, and the direction in which the conveying unit 11 conveys from the first end to the second end in the first direction is the reverse direction.

[0082] It can be understood that the conveying unit 11 is located above the first collection member and the second collection member. The first end of the conveying unit 11 is closer to the first collection member relative to the second end, and the second end of the conveying unit 11 is closer to the second collection member relative to the first end. In this application, when the conveying unit 11 fills the first collection member with rework cigarettes, the conveying unit 11 conveys the rework cigarettes in the forward direction along the first direction, and the first end corresponds to the output end. Correspondingly, when the conveying unit 11 fills the second collection member with rework cigarettes, the conveying unit 11 conveys the rework cigarettes in the reverse direction along the first direction, and the second end corresponds to the output end. Thus, compared with the solution in which the conveying unit 11 can only convey rework cigarettes in one direction, according to the different objects filled with rework cigarettes by the conveying unit 11 in this application, the conveying direction of the conveying unit 11 is correspondingly adjusted, which can shorten the moving distance of the conveying unit 11, thereby saving costs and being beneficial to improving efficiency.

[0083] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the driving unit 14 includes a frame 141, a guide rail 142 and a driving member 143. The guide rail 142 and the driving member 143 are both connected to the frame 141. The conveying unit 11 is movably connected to the guide rail 142, and the driving member 143 is drivingly connected to the conveying unit 11.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the conveying unit 11 includes a conveyor belt 111, a driving wheel 112 and a driven wheel 113. The conveyor belt 111 is connected between the driven wheel 113 and the driving wheel 112. The driven wheel 113 and the driving wheel 112 cooperate with each other to drive the conveyor belt to move.

[0085] Among them, both the driving wheel 112 and the driven wheel 113 are configured to be able to rotate forward or backward controllably around their own axes.

[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the collection unit 12 further includes a second collection member 122, a second collection cavity for containing the running strip cigarettes is formed on the second collection member 122, the second collection member 122 is arranged on the discharge path of the second discharge port 1015, and the second collection cavity is arranged in alignment with the second discharge port 1015.

[0087] It can be understood that during the specific operation process of the waste cigarette treatment device 100, waste cigarettes fall from the waste cigarette outlet of the cigarette making machine. The first detection member can detect the type of waste cigarettes falling from the waste cigarette outlet and transmit the detection result to the control unit. The control unit will control the material distribution component 102 to rotate relative to the main body 101 according to the detection result to guide the rework cigarettes and the running strip cigarettes to the first falling channel 1012 and the second falling channel 1013 respectively. Subsequently, the rework cigarettes will be discharged from the first discharge port 1014 of the first falling channel 1012 and fall onto the conveying unit 11, and then be conveyed by the conveying unit 11 to the corresponding first collection member 121 for collection. The running strip cigarettes will be discharged from the second discharge port 1015 of the second falling channel 1013 and fall into the second collection member 122 for collection. Further, the handling unit can automatically handle and replace the collection unit 12 after it is filled with rework cigarettes and / or running strip cigarettes.

[0088] In one or more embodiments of the present application, a waste cigarette treatment system is further provided. The waste cigarette treatment system includes the waste cigarette treatment device 100 and the cigarette making machine as described in the foregoing embodiments. A waste cigarette outlet is formed on the cigarette making machine. The cigarette making machine is arranged on one side of the waste cigarette treatment device 100, and the feed port 1011 is aligned with the waste cigarette outlet. The first detection member is connected to the waste cigarette outlet.

[0089] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.
