Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of carton sealing machine box association control technology, and particularly to the YP113 carton sealing machine box condition association device and method. Background Technology

[0002] In the tobacco industry, the YP113 carton sealing machine is widely used in various tobacco sectors due to its ability to simultaneously package multiple brands and sizes of cigarette cartons. When packaging different brands of cigarette cartons with the YP113 sealing machine, the cigarette cartons are first conveyed along the cigarette carton conveyor to the stacking station for stacking. After stacking, the cigarette cartons become stacks of 50 cartons each. Under the gripping and placement operation of the robotic arm cigarette clamps, they are moved from the stacker's discharge end to the pusher conveyor connected to the sealing camera's feed end. Then, the pushing mechanism on the pusher conveyor pushes the stacks into the sealing carton machine. The sealed cartons are then conveyed from the sealing machine's discharge end to the carton conveyor line, completing the packaging process for the cigarette cartons.

[0003] During the packaging process of cigarette cartons described above, because different brands of cigarette cartons are packaged simultaneously using the YP113 carton sealing machine, due to delays in workstation coordination, some cigarette cartons of different brands may be placed into cigarette boxes that do not match their brand. Although the cigarette carton conveyor, cigarette stacking station, carton sealing machine sealing station, and cigarette box output station are equipped with corresponding barcode reading and detection devices, these devices are only used to check whether the QR codes on the cigarette cartons are qualified and to determine whether the cigarette cartons have completed all processing stations and are ready for shipment by checking the QR codes. They do not have the function of determining whether cigarette cartons have been placed into cigarette boxes that do not match their brand.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design corresponding barcode reading devices to be associated with the cigarette pack conveying channel, cigarette pack stacking station, sealing station, and cigarette box output station of the YP113 carton sealing machine. This is to solve the problem that when different brands of cigarette packs are packaged at the same time using the YP113 carton sealing machine, sometimes due to delays in station coordination, some cigarette packs of different brands will be put into cigarette boxes that do not match their brand. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a box condition association device and method for the YP113 box sealing machine, in order to solve the problem that when different brands of cigarette cartons are packaged at the same time using the YP113 box sealing machine, due to delays in workstation coordination, some cigarette cartons of different brands will be placed in cigarette cartons that do not match the brand.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a YP113 carton sealing machine box condition association device, comprising:

[0008] The first station box associated scanning and detection device is set on the cigarette bar conveyor connected to the stacker crane's feeding end. The first station box associated scanning and detection device is used to scan and detect the QR code on the cigarette bar conveyor in the cigarette bar conveyor to check whether the QR code on the cigarette bar is qualified, and send the information of unqualified inspection to the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer.

[0009] The first rejection mechanism is electrically connected to the first rejection mechanism via the PLC in the box-related industrial control computer. The first rejection mechanism is located at the imaging rejection port on the cigarette pack conveyor. The PLC in the box-related industrial control computer receives the unqualified QR code information from the first station box-related scanning detection component and controls the first rejection mechanism to reject the cigarette packs with unqualified QR codes in the first station box-related scanning detection component.

[0010] The second station box-associated scanning and detection device is located near the discharge end of the stacker crane. The second station box-associated scanning and detection device is electrically connected to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. When the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer receives the QR code information that has been scanned and qualified by the first station box-associated scanning and detection device, it controls the second station box-associated scanning and detection device to read and detect the barcode on each cigarette in the stack of cigarettes that has been transported to the discharge end of the stacker crane, so as to check the association status of each cigarette in the stack of cigarettes, and send the non-association status to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer for marking.

[0011] The third station box-1 associated scanning detection device is set on the packing machine cigarette stack pushing conveyor on the side of the robotic arm clamp downstream of the stacker's discharge end. After receiving the information of the second station box associated scanning detection device's code reading association and non-association, the PLC in the box condition associated control computer controls the third station box-1 associated scanning detection device to perform QR code sequence verification and code reading on each cigarette in the cigarette stack conveyed to the packing machine cigarette stack pushing conveyor to determine which stacker the cigarette stack in the packing machine cigarette stack pushing conveyor comes from.

[0012] The third station box No. 2 associated scanning detection component is set on the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor of the boxing machine and is located downstream of the third station No. 1 box associated scanning detection component. After receiving the QR code sequence verification and reading information from the third station No. 1 box associated scanning detection component, the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer controls the third station box No. 2 associated scanning detection component to read the QR code on each cigarette in the cigarette stack entering the cigarette stack push conveyor of the boxing machine, so as to check the information of the cigarette stack being associated with the second station box associated scanning detection component. If there is no association, the information is sent to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer for marking and controlling the first coding machine set on the boxing machine to mark the QR code with the association and non-association information on the top of the cigarette box.

[0013] The fourth station box-related scanning and detection device is set on the support frame downstream of the second coding machine on the cigarette box conveyor channel connected to the discharge end of the box sealing machine. After receiving the information on whether the cigarette stack of the third station box-related scanning and detection device is associated or not associated with the second station box-related scanning and detection device, the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer controls the fourth station box-related scanning and detection device to read and detect the QR codes on the cigarette boxes that have been coded by the second coding machine and the first coding machine and are being conveyed in the cigarette box conveyor channel. This is to check the association between each cigarette brand in the cigarette stack and the cigarette box brand number, and to send the non-association status of each cigarette brand and cigarette box brand number to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer.

[0014] The second rejection mechanism is located on the discharge end of the cigarette box conveyor after the coding machine on the cigarette box conveyor. The second rejection mechanism is electrically connected to the fourth station's box-related scanning and detection component via the PLC in the box-related industrial control computer. After receiving information about the non-association between each cigarette brand and the cigarette box number, the PLC in the box-related industrial control computer controls the second rejection mechanism to reject each cigarette box whose brand and cigarette box number are not associated in the cigarette stack.

The pushing direction of the push plate is towards the cigarette packs on the cigarette pack conveyor and the cigarette boxes transported on the cigarette box conveyor.

[0023] This application proposes a YP113 carton sealing machine box condition association method in its second aspect, including the following steps:

[0024] The cigarette packs are conveyed from the upper cigarette pack conveyor line to the first position detection sensor set on the upper cigarette pack conveyor line and from the lower cigarette pack conveyor line to the first position detection sensor set on the lower cigarette pack conveyor line. The first position detection sensor transmits the cigarette pack position information to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. The PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer then controls the QR code reader on the side of the first cigarette pack to read and detect whether the QR code on the cigarette pack is clear or missing in the upper and lower cigarette pack conveyor lines, so as to check whether the QR code on the cigarette pack is qualified.

[0025] If the QR code on the cigarette packs conveyed in the upper and lower cigarette pack conveying lines fails the inspection, the QR code reader on the side of the first cigarette pack will control the first rejection mechanism through the PLC in the industrial control computer to promptly reject the cigarette packs with the unqualified QR codes conveyed in the upper and lower cigarette pack conveying lines.

[0026] If the QR code on the cigarette packs conveyed in the upper and lower conveyor lines of the cigarette packs passes the inspection, the cigarette packs corresponding to the qualified QR codes will continue to be conveyed by the upper conveyor line to the upper stacker for stacking and by the lower conveyor line to the lower stacker for stacking.

[0027] After the tobacco stacks are stacked by the upper and lower stackers, they are transported to the discharge end of the upper stacker and detected by the second positioning sensor at the upper stacker support and the discharge end of the lower stacker. After the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer receives the information that the QR code on the tobacco stick has passed the detection, the second positioning sensor controls three QR code readers on the side of the second tobacco stick through the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer to read and detect the QR code on the side of the tobacco stick in the tobacco stack at the discharge end of the upper stacker and the QR code on the side of the tobacco stick in the tobacco stack at the discharge end of the lower stacker.

[0028] If any cigarette pack detected at the discharge end of the upper or lower stacker crane cannot be associated with the reading information generated by the QR code reader on the side of the first cigarette pack, or if any cigarette pack detected at the discharge end of the upper stacker crane cannot be associated with the reading information generated by the QR code reader on the side of the first cigarette pack, the QR code reader on the side of the second cigarette pack will send the unassociated cigarette pack to the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer for marking.

[0029] If the three second cigarette side QR code readers installed near the upper stacker's discharge end or the lower stacker's discharge end fail to read the QR code of the cigarette pack in the cigarette stack three times in a row, the second cigarette side QR code readers will not send the information that they failed to read the QR code of the cigarette pack in the detected cigarette stack three times in a row to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer.

[0030] If any one of the three second cigarette side QR code readers installed at the discharge end of the upper stacker or the discharge end of the lower stacker reads the QR code three times in a row, and can read the corresponding second cigarette side QR code reader, then the information of reading the QR code will be sent to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer for recording.

[0031] After being scanned and detected by the second QR code reader on the side of the cigarette pack, the cigarette packs at the discharge ends of the upper and lower stacker cranes are gripped by the robotic arm clamps downstream of the upper and lower stacker cranes and placed at the feeding end of the cigarette pack push conveyor of the carton sealing machine, which is connected to the feeding end of the carton sealing machine. The third positioning detection sensor at the feeding end of the cigarette pack push conveyor of the carton sealing machine detects the cigarette packs. After the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer receives the association information of each cigarette pack in the cigarette pack, the third positioning detection sensor controls the third QR code reader on the side of the cigarette pack through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to perform sequence verification and reading of the QR codes on the cigarette packs in the cigarette packs at the feeding end of the cigarette pack push conveyor of the carton sealing machine, and transmits the sequence verification and reading status of the cigarette packs in the cigarette packs to the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer for recording.

[0032] To determine which stacker of which cigarette stacking conveyor line the cigarettes in the stack at the feeding end of the packing machine's cigarette stack pusher originated from, the information generated by the PLC in the industrial control computer after verifying and reading the cigarette sequence in the stack is compared with the information generated by the QR code reader on the side of the second cigarette. This comparison determines which stacker of which cigarette stacking conveyor line the coded cigarettes in the stack at the feeding end of the packing machine's cigarette stack pusher originates from.

[0033] After the cigarette stack is scanned and detected by the QR code reader on the side of the third cigarette pack, it is monitored by the fourth positioning detection sensor on the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor of the sealing machine. After the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer receives the information on the cigarette sequence verification and code reading status in the cigarette stack, the fourth positioning detection sensor controls three fourth cigarette side QR code readers through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to scan and detect the QR code on each cigarette in the cigarette stack.

[0034] If any one of the three QR code readers on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes fails to scan it three times in a row, the QR code reader on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes that fails to scan it three times in a row will send the unscanned information to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. The PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer will then mark the cigarette stack with the unscanned information and control the first coding machine set on the box sealing machine to print the QR code with the associated and unassociated information on the top of the cigarette box.

[0035] After the cigarette stacks are scanned and detected by the QR code reader on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes, they are sealed by the box-sealing machine and then placed into cigarette boxes that have been coded by the first coding machine. The cigarette boxes containing the cigarette stacks and QR codes with associated information, non-associated information, and cigarette brand information are conveyed to the second coding machine on the cigarette box conveyor connected to the discharge end of the box-sealing machine to etch a QR code with the cigarette box brand. The cigarette boxes coded by the second coding machine continue to be conveyed downstream of the second coding machine. The fifth arrival detection sensor downstream of the second coding machine detects the cigarette boxes coded by the first and second coding machines and the box-passing condition associated with the industrial control. After receiving information about the association and non-association between the cigarette stack and the second associated scanning detection piece in the third station box, the fifth positioning detection sensor controls the QR code reader on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes through the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer to read the QR codes with associated, non-association, and brand information of the cigarette pack that have been coded by the first coding machine on the cigarette box. The fifth positioning detection sensor also controls the QR code reader on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes through the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer to read the brand information QR code on the cigarette box after it has been coded by the second coding machine.

[0036] If the information generated by the QR code reader on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes after reading the QR code on the cigarette box by the second coding machine is not related to the information generated by the QR code reader on the side of the second pack of cigarettes, or is not related to the information generated by the QR code reader on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes, the QR code reader on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes will control the second rejection mechanism on the cigarette box conveyor through the PLC in the industrial control computer to remove the unrelated cigarette box from the cigarette box conveyor.

[0037] If the brand information generated by the QR code reader on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes, which reads the QR code printed by the second coding machine on the cigarette box and contains brand information, is not related to the brand information of the cigarettes read by the QR code reader on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes, which reads the QR code printed by the first coding machine on the cigarette box, the QR code reader on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes will control the second rejection mechanism through the PLC in the industrial control computer to remove the unrelated cigarette boxes from the cigarette box conveyor.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0039] 1. This invention integrates a YP113 carton sealing machine box condition association device and association method with a first station box association scanning detection component, a first rejection mechanism, a second station box association scanning detection component, a third station box No. 1 association scanning detection component, a third station box No. 2 association scanning detection component, a fourth station box association scanning detection component, and a second rejection mechanism. When detecting whether a carton of cigarettes has been placed in a mismatched carton, the second station box association scanning detection component, the third station box No. 1 association scanning detection component, the third station box No. 2 association scanning detection component, and the fourth station box association work together to detect whether a carton of cigarettes has been placed in a mismatched carton. If it is detected that the brand of the cigarette carton is not associated with the brand of the carton, the second rejection mechanism promptly rejects the mismatched carton. This solves the problem that when different brands of cigarettes are packaged simultaneously using the YP113 carton sealing machine, sometimes due to delays in station coordination, some different brands of cigarettes are placed in mismatched cartons.

[0040] 2. The mounting frames for installing the position detection sensor and the QR code reader on the side of the cigarette pack in the first, second, third, and fourth station box-related scanning detection components of this invention are adjustable. They can be adjusted in a timely manner to suit different detection and reading conditions, thus making them suitable for various detection and reading conditions. This further enhances the practicality of the YP113 box-related device and method for associating boxes. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0055] like Figure 1-12 As shown, to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0056] Example

[0057] During the packaging process of cigarette cartons, because different brands of cigarette cartons are packaged simultaneously using the YP113 carton sealing machine, sometimes due to delays in the coordination of workstations, some cartons of different brands of cigarettes are placed into cigarette boxes that do not match their brand. Although the cigarette carton conveyor, cigarette stacking station, carton sealing machine sealing station, and cigarette box output station are equipped with corresponding barcode reading and detection equipment, the barcode reading and detection equipment set up at these workstations is only used to check whether the QR code on the cigarette cartons is qualified and to determine whether the cigarette cartons have completed all processing stations and are ready for shipment by checking the QR code. It does not have the function of determining whether the cigarette cartons are placed into cigarette boxes that do not match their brand.

[0058] Therefore, this application proposes a YP113 carton sealing machine box condition association device to solve the problem that when different brands of cigarette cartons are packaged simultaneously using the YP113 carton sealing machine, sometimes due to delays in workstation coordination, some cartons of cigarettes of different brands will be placed into cigarette cartons that do not match their brand.

[0059] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This application proposes a YP113 carton sealing machine box condition association device in its first aspect, including a first station box association scanning and detection component 1, a first rejection mechanism 51, a second station box association scanning and detection component 4, a third station box-1 association scanning and detection component 5, a third station box-2 association scanning and detection component 6, a fourth station box association scanning and detection component 8, and a second rejection mechanism 11; the first station box association scanning and detection component 1 is disposed on the cigarette pack conveyor 3 connected to the feeding end of the stacker crane 2, and the first station box association scanning and detection component 1 is used to monitor the condition of the cigarette packs conveyed in the cigarette pack conveyor 3. The QR code is scanned to check if the QR code on the cigarette pack is valid, and the information of any non-validity is sent to the PLC in the box-condition association industrial control computer. The first station box-condition association scanning detection component 1 is electrically connected to the first rejection mechanism 51 through the PLC in the box-condition association industrial control computer. The first rejection mechanism 51 is set at the imaging rejection port on the cigarette pack conveyor 3. When the PLC in the box-condition association industrial control computer receives the information of the non-valid QR code scanned by the first station box-condition association scanning detection component 1, it controls the first rejection mechanism 51 to remove the non-valid QR code from the first station box-condition association scanning detection component 1. The QR code-marked cigarette packs are rejected. The second station box-linked scanning detection unit 4 is located near the discharge end of the stacker crane 2. This unit is electrically connected to the PLC in the box-condition association control computer. Upon receiving the qualified QR code information from the first station box-linked scanning detection unit 1, the PLC controls the second station box-linked scanning detection unit 4 to read and detect the barcodes on each cigarette pack in the stack conveyed to the discharge end of the stacker crane 2. This checks the association status of each cigarette pack in the stack and sends any non-associations to the box-condition association control computer. The PLC marks the location; the third station No. 1 box association scanning detection component 5 is set on the packing machine cigarette stack push conveyor 32 on the side of the robotic arm clamp 53 downstream of the stacker 2 discharge end. After the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer receives the information of the second station box association scanning detection component 4 reading the code association and non-association, it controls the third station No. 1 box association scanning detection component 5 to perform QR code sequence verification and reading on each cigarette in the cigarette stack conveyed to the packing machine cigarette stack push conveyor 32 to determine which stacker 2 cigarette stack the cigarette stack in the packing machine cigarette stack push conveyor 32 comes from.The third station box association scanning detection unit 6 is located on the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the box sealing machine and downstream of the third station box association scanning detection unit 5. After receiving the QR code sequence verification and reading information from the third station box association scanning detection unit 5, the PLC in the box condition association control computer controls the third station box association scanning detection unit 6 to read the QR code on each cigarette in the cigarette stack entering the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the box sealing machine, in order to check the information of the cigarette stack being associated with the second station box association scanning detection unit 4, and send the non-associated information to the PLC in the box condition association control computer for marking and controlling the first coding machine 67 set on the box sealing machine 7 to mark the QR code with the association and non-association information on the top of the cigarette box; the fourth station box association scanning detection unit 8 is set on the support frame downstream of the second coding machine 10 on the cigarette box conveyor 9 connected to the discharge end of the box sealing machine 7. The PLC in the box condition association control computer receives the QR code sequence verification and reading information from the third station box association scanning detection unit 4 and controls the third station box association scanning detection unit 6 to read the QR code on each cigarette in the cigarette stack entering the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the box sealing machine, in order to check the information of the cigarette stack being associated with the second station box association scanning detection unit 4, and send the non-association information to the PLC in the box condition association control computer for marking and controlling the first coding machine 67 set on the box sealing machine 7 to mark the QR code with the association and non-association information on the top of the cigarette box; the fourth station box association scanning detection unit 8 is set on the support frame downstream of the second coding machine 10 on the cigarette box conveyor 9 connected to the discharge end of the box sealing machine 7. After the second workstation box association scanning detection component 6 obtains information on whether the cigarette stack is associated or not with the second workstation box association scanning detection component 4, it controls the fourth workstation box association scanning detection component 8 to read and detect the QR codes on the cigarette boxes that have been coded and affixed by the second coding machine 10 and the first coding machine 67 and are being transported in the cigarette box conveyor 9. This is to check the association between each cigarette brand in the cigarette stack and the cigarette box brand number, and to send the non-association status of each cigarette brand with the cigarette box brand number to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. The second rejection mechanism 11 is set on the discharge end side of the cigarette box conveyor 9 after the coding machine on the cigarette box conveyor 9. The second rejection mechanism 11 is electrically connected to the fourth workstation box association scanning detection component 8 through the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. After receiving the information on the non-association status of each cigarette brand with the cigarette box brand number, the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer controls the second rejection mechanism 11 to reject each cigarette box in the cigarette stack where the cigarette brand is not associated with the cigarette box brand number. ;

[0060] It should be noted that the cigarette stack pushing conveyor 32 of the carton packing machine is connected to the feeding end of the carton packing machine 7.

[0061] It should be noted that the cigarette packing conveyor 3, connected to a stacker crane 2, consists of four parallel cigarette packing conveyor lines 66. Each of these four lines is matched with a robotic arm clamp 53, which is used in conjunction with a box-packing machine 7. The cigarette packing conveyor 3 is divided into an upper cigarette packing conveyor line 12 and a lower cigarette packing conveyor line 13. The first station box-related scanning detection unit 1 is respectively positioned near the upper cigarette packing conveyor line 12 and the lower cigarette packing conveyor line 13. On the side wall of the feeding end of the lower layer conveyor line 13, the first rejection mechanism 51 is respectively set at the imaging rejection port on the upper layer conveyor line 12 and the lower layer conveyor line 13. The discharge end of the upper layer conveyor line 12 is connected to the feeding end of the upper stacker 14, and the discharge end of the lower layer conveyor line 13 is connected to the feeding end of the lower stacker 15. The second station box associated scanning detection component 4 is respectively set on the side wall of the discharge end near the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first station box associated scanning detection component 1 includes a first connecting seat 16, a first connecting rod 17, a first adjusting head 18, a second connecting rod 19, a second adjusting head 20, a third adjusting head 21, a third connecting rod 22, a fourth adjusting head 23, a fourth connecting rod 26, a fifth adjusting head 27, a first positioning detection sensor 24, and a first cigarette bar side QR code reader 25. The fixed end of the first connecting seat 16 is detachably connected to the side walls of the upper cigarette bar conveyor line 12 and the lower cigarette bar conveyor line 13, respectively. The sleeve of the first connecting seat 16 is threadedly connected to the first connecting rod 17. The first adjusting head 18 is adjustablely connected to the first connecting rod 17 and the second connecting rod 19, respectively. The second adjusting head 20 is adjustablely connected to the second connecting rod 19 and the third connecting rod 21, the third connecting rod 22, the fourth adjusting head 23, the fourth connecting rod 26, the fifth adjusting head 27, the first positioning detection sensor 24, and the first cigarette bar side QR code reader 25. The three-link 22 is adjustable. The third link 22 is connected to the third adjustment head 21, which is equipped with the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack. The other end of the second link 19 is adjustablely connected to the fourth link 26 through the fourth adjustment head 23. The fourth link 26 is connected to the top of the first positioning detection sensor 24, which is located at the bottom of the fifth adjustment head 27. The first positioning detection sensor 24, the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack, and the first rejection mechanism 51 are all electrically connected to the PLC in the box condition-associated industrial control computer. In the direction of cigarette pack travel, the first positioning detection sensor 24 is located in front of the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack, and the first rejection mechanism 51 is located behind the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack.

[0063] In practical applications, cigarette packs are conveyed from the upper cigarette pack conveyor line 12 to the position of the first position detection sensor 24 set on the upper cigarette pack conveyor line 12 and from the lower cigarette pack conveyor line 13 to the position of the first position detection sensor 24 set on the lower cigarette pack conveyor line 13. The first position detection sensor 24 transmits the cigarette pack position information to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. The PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer then controls the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack to read and detect whether the QR code on the cigarette packs conveyed in the upper cigarette pack conveyor line 12 and the lower cigarette pack conveyor line 13 is clear or missing, so as to check whether the QR code on the cigarette pack is qualified.

[0064] If the QR code on the cigarette packs conveyed in the upper layer conveyor line 12 and the lower layer conveyor line 13 of the cigarette pack fails the test, the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack will control the first rejection mechanism 51 to act through the PLC in the industrial control computer associated with the box condition, and promptly reject the cigarette packs corresponding to the unqualified QR codes conveyed in the upper layer conveyor line 12 and the lower layer conveyor line 13 of the cigarette pack;

[0065] If the QR code on the cigarette bar conveyed in the upper layer conveyor line 12 and the lower layer conveyor line 13 of the cigarette bar passes the inspection, the cigarette bar corresponding to the qualified QR code will continue to be conveyed by the upper layer conveyor line 12 to the upper layer stacker 14 for stacking and by the lower layer conveyor line 13 to the lower layer stacker 15 for stacking.

[0066] After the tobacco stacks are stacked by the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15, they are transported to the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 and monitored by the second position detection sensor 30 at the support of the upper stacker 14 and the discharge end of the lower stacker 15. After the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer receives the information that the QR code on the tobacco strip has passed the detection, the second station box-related scanning detection component 4 scans and detects the QR code on the side of each tobacco strip in the tobacco stack.

[0067] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The second station box associated scanning detection component 4 includes a second connecting seat 52, a fifth connecting rod 28, a sixth adjusting head 29, a second positioning detection sensor 30, and a second cigarette side QR code reader 31. The fixed end of the second connecting seat 52 is connected to the side wall near the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 and the side wall near the discharge end of the lower stacker 15, respectively. The sleeve of the second connecting seat 52 is threadedly connected to the fifth connecting rod 28. The fifth connecting rod 28 is adjustablely connected to three sixth adjusting heads 29, and the side walls of the three sixth adjusting heads 29 are respectively provided with second cigarette side QR code readers 31. The QR code reader 31 has its reading end tilted towards the QR code on the side of the cigarette pack. In the direction of cigarette stack travel, the second cigarette pack side QR code reader 31 is located behind the second positioning detection sensor 30. The second positioning detection sensor 30 is respectively set on the support near the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 and the support near the discharge end of the lower stacker 15. Both the second positioning detection sensor 30 and the second cigarette pack side QR code reader 31 are electrically connected to the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer. In the direction of cigarette pack travel, the second positioning detection sensor 30 is located in front of the second cigarette pack side QR code reader 31.

[0068] In practical application, the stacked cigarette stacks by the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15 are then transported to the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 and monitored by the second positioning detection sensor 30 at the support of the upper stacker 14 and the discharge end of the lower stacker 15. After the PLC in the box condition-related industrial control computer receives the information that the QR code on the cigarette pack has passed the detection, the second positioning detection sensor 30 controls three second cigarette side QR code readers 31 through the PLC in the box condition-related industrial control computer to read and detect the QR code on the side of the cigarette pack in the stack at the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 and the QR code on the side of the cigarette pack in the stack at the discharge end of the lower stacker 15.

[0069] If any cigarette pack detected at the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 or the discharge end of the lower stacker 15 cannot be associated with the reading information formed by the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack, or if any cigarette pack detected at the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 cannot be associated with the reading information formed by the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack, then the QR code reader 31 on the side of the second cigarette pack will send the unassociated cigarette pack to the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer for marking.

[0070] If the three second cigarette side QR code readers 31 installed near the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 or the discharge end of the lower stacker 15 fail to read the QR code of the cigarette pack in the cigarette stack three times in a row, the second cigarette side QR code readers 31 will not send the information that the QR code of the cigarette pack in the detected cigarette stack cannot be read three times in a row to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer.

[0071] If any one of the three second cigarette side QR code readers 31 installed at the discharge end of the upper stacker crane 14 or the discharge end of the lower stacker crane 15 reads the QR code three times in a row, and can read the corresponding second cigarette side QR code reader 31, then the information of reading the QR code will be sent to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer for recording.

[0072] After being scanned and detected by the second cigarette side QR code reader 31, the cigarette stacks at the discharge ends of the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15 are gripped by the robotic arm clamp 53 downstream of the discharge ends of the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15 and placed at the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the carton sealing machine, which is connected to the feeding end of the carton sealing machine 7. The third positioning detection sensor 41 at the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the carton sealing machine is detected, and after the PLC in the carton condition association control computer receives the association information of each cigarette in the cigarette stack, the No. 1 carton association scanning detection component 5 at the third station on the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the carton sealing machine performs a sequential scanning detection on the placed cigarette stack.

[0073] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The third station No. 1 box associated scanning detection component 5 includes a third connecting seat 33, a sixth connecting rod 34, a seventh adjusting head 35, an eighth connecting rod 36, a ninth adjusting head 37, a ninth connecting rod 38, a tenth adjusting head 39, a third positioning detection sensor 41, and a third cigarette side QR code reader 42; the fixed end of the third connecting seat 33 is set on the side wall of the feeding end near the cigarette stack pushing conveyor 32 of the box-packing machine; the sleeve of the third connecting seat 33 is threadedly connected to the sixth connecting rod 34; the sixth connecting rod 34 is adjustablely connected to the eighth connecting rod 36 through the seventh adjusting head 35; the eighth connecting rod 36 is adjustablely connected to the ninth connecting rod 38 through the ninth adjusting head 37; the ninth connecting rod 39... The 8th section is equipped with an eleventh adjusting head 49 and a tenth adjusting head 39, which are adjustable at intervals. The side wall of the eleventh adjusting head 49 is connected to the side wall of the third positioning detection sensor 41, and the side wall of the tenth adjusting head 39 is connected to the side wall of the third cigarette side QR code reader 42. Both the third positioning detection sensor 41 and the third cigarette side QR code reader 42 are tilted towards the feeding end of the cigarette stack pusher conveyor 32 of the box-packing machine. The third positioning detection sensor 41 and the third cigarette side QR code reader 42 are electrically connected to the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer. In the direction of cigarette movement, the third positioning detection sensor 41 is located in front of the third cigarette side QR code reader 42.

[0074] In practical application, after the second cigarette side QR code reader 31 scans and detects the cigarette stacks at the discharge ends of the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15, the stacks are gripped by the robotic arm clamp 53 downstream of the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15 and placed at the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the carton sealing machine, which is connected to the feeding end of the carton sealing machine 7. The stacks are then detected by the third positioning detection sensor 41 at the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the carton sealing machine. After the PLC in the carton condition association industrial control computer receives the association information of each cigarette in the stack, the third positioning detection sensor 41 controls the third cigarette side QR code reader 42 through the PLC in the carton condition association industrial control computer to perform sequence verification and reading of the QR codes on the cigarettes in the stack at the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the carton sealing machine, and transmits the sequence verification and reading status of the cigarettes in the stack to the PLC in the carton condition association industrial control computer for recording.

[0075] To determine which stacker of which cigarette stacking conveyor line 66 the cigarettes in the stack at the feeding end of the cigarette stack pusher 32 of the carton sealing machine came from, the information formed by the PLC in the industrial control computer that verifies and reads the cigarette sequence in the stack is compared with the information formed by the QR code reader 31 on the side of the second cigarette. This comparison determines which stacker of which cigarette stacking conveyor line 66 the coded cigarettes in the stack at the feeding end of the cigarette stack pusher 32 of the carton sealing machine came from.

[0076] After the cigarette stack is scanned and detected by the QR code reader 42 on the side of the third cigarette pack, it is monitored by the fourth position detection sensor 46 on the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the sealing machine. After the PLC in the industrial control computer receives the information on the cigarette pack sequence verification and code reading status, the second associated scanning detection component 6 of the third station scans and detects the cigarette stack that is about to be boxed.

[0077] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The third station box No. 2 associated scanning detection component 6 includes a fourth connecting seat 43, a tenth connecting rod 44, a twelfth adjusting head 45, a fourth positioning detection sensor 46, and a fourth cigarette side QR code reader 47; the fixed end of the fourth connecting seat 43 is connected to the side wall of the feeding end of the sealing machine 7, and the sleeve of the fourth connecting seat 43 is threadedly connected to the tenth connecting rod 44. The tenth connecting rod 44 is adjustablely connected to three twelfth adjusting heads 45 respectively, and the outer walls of the three twelfth adjusting heads 45 are connected to the side wall of the fourth cigarette side QR code reader 47. The fourth positioning detection sensor 46 is located on the feeding end of the cigarette stack pushing conveyor 32 of the box-packing machine. The fourth cigarette side QR code reader 47 and the fourth positioning detection sensor 46 are electrically connected to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. In the direction of cigarette movement, the fourth positioning detection sensor 46 is located in front of the fourth cigarette side QR code reader 47. The fourth cigarette side QR code reader 47 is electrically connected to the first coding machine 67 on the box-packing machine 7 through the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer.

[0078] In practical application, after the cigarette stack is scanned and detected by the QR code reader 42 on the side of the third cigarette pack, it is monitored by the fourth positioning detection sensor 46 on the feeding end side of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the sealing machine. After the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer receives the information on the cigarette sequence verification and code reading status in the cigarette stack, the fourth positioning detection sensor 46 controls three fourth cigarette side QR code readers 47 through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to scan and detect the QR code on each cigarette pack in the cigarette stack.

[0079] If any one of the three QR code readers 47 on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes fails to scan three times in a row, the QR code reader 47 that fails to scan three times in a row will send the unscanned information to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. The PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer will then mark the cigarette stack with the unscanned information and control the first coding machine 67 set on the box sealing machine 7 to print the QR code with the associated and unassociated information on the top of the cigarette box.

[0080] After the cigarette stacks are scanned and detected by the QR code reader 47 on the side of the cigarette pack, they are sealed by the packaging machine 7 and then placed into the cigarette box that has been coded by the first coding machine 67. The fourth station of the second coding machine 10 then scans and detects the sealed cigarette box.

[0081] Please see Figure 1 The fourth station box associated scanning detection component 8 includes a fifth connecting seat 50, an eleventh connecting rod 54, a thirteenth adjusting head 55, a twelfth connecting rod 56, a fifth positioning detection sensor 57, a QR code reader for the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes 58, and a QR code reader for the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes 59. The fixed end of the fifth connecting seat 50 is connected to the side wall of the support frame downstream of the second coding machine 10 on the cigarette box conveyor 9. The sleeve of the fifth connecting seat 50 is threadedly connected to the eleventh connecting rod 54. The eleventh connecting rod 54 is tunably connected to the twelfth connecting rod 56 through the thirteenth adjusting head 55. The twelfth connecting rod 56 is tunably connected to the fourteenth adjusting head 60, the fifteenth adjusting head 61, and the sixteenth adjusting head 62 respectively. The fifth positioning detection sensor 57 is detachably connected to the side wall of the fourteenth adjusting head 60, and the QR code reader for the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes 58 is detachably connected to the side wall of the fifteenth adjusting head 61. The QR code reader 58 and the sixteenth adjustment head 62 are detachably connected to the side wall of the sixth pack of cigarettes QR code reader 59. The fifth position detection sensor 57, the fifth pack of cigarettes side QR code reader 58 and the sixth pack of cigarettes side QR code reader 59 are all electrically connected to the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer. The fifth pack of cigarettes side QR code reader 58 is used to read the QR code corresponding to the pack of cigarettes in the cigarette stack inside the cigarette box and printed on the top of the cigarette box by the first coding machine 67, which contains associated information, non-associated information and brand information of the pack of cigarettes. The sixth pack of cigarettes side QR code reader 59 is used to read the QR code with brand information printed on the cigarette box by the second coding machine 10. In the direction of travel of the cigarette box, the fourth position detection sensor 46 is located in front of the fifth pack of cigarettes side QR code reader 58 and the sixth pack of cigarettes side QR code reader 59.

[0082] In practical application, after the cigarette stacks are scanned and detected by the QR code reader 47 on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes, they are sealed by the box sealing machine 7 and then placed into cigarette boxes that have been coded by the first coding machine 67. The cigarette boxes containing the cigarette stacks and QR codes with associated information, non-associated information, and cigarette brand information are conveyed to the second coding machine 10 on the cigarette box conveyor 9 connected to the discharge end of the box sealing machine 7 to etch a QR code with the cigarette box brand. The cigarette boxes coded by the second coding machine 10 continue to be conveyed by the cigarette box conveyor 9 to the downstream of the second coding machine 10. The fifth positioning detection sensor 57 downstream of the second coding machine 10 detects the cigarette boxes coded by the first coding machine 67 and the second coding machine 10. After receiving information from the industrial control computer on the association of the box conditions that the second associated scanning detection piece 6 of the third station box is associated with and not associated with the second associated scanning detection piece 4 of the second station box, the fifth position detection sensor 57 controls the QR code reader 58 on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes through the PLC in the industrial control computer on the association of the box conditions to read the QR code with associated information, non-associated information and brand information of the pack of cigarettes that has been coded by the first coding machine 67 on the cigarette box. The fifth position detection sensor 57 also controls the QR code reader 59 on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes through the PLC in the industrial control computer on the association of the box conditions to read the brand information QR code on the cigarette box after being coded by the second coding machine 10.

[0083] If the information generated by the QR code reader 58 on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes after reading the QR code on the cigarette box by the second coding machine 10 is not related to the information generated by the QR code reader 31 on the side of the second pack of cigarettes or the information generated by the QR code reader 47 on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes, the QR code reader 58 on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes will control the second rejection mechanism 11 on the cigarette box conveyor 9 through the PLC in the industrial control computer to remove the unrelated cigarette box from the cigarette box conveyor 9.

[0084] If the brand information generated by the QR code reader 59 on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes, which is coded by the second coding machine 10 on the cigarette box and contains brand information, is not associated with the brand information of the cigarettes on the fifth pack of cigarettes, which is coded by the QR code reader 58 on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes, which is coded by the first coding machine 67, the QR code reader 59 on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes will control the second rejection mechanism 11 to act through the PLC in the industrial control computer associated with the box conditions, and reject the unassociated cigarette boxes from the cigarette box conveyor 9.

[0085] It should be noted that the first rejection mechanism 51 and the second rejection mechanism 11 are both rejection mechanisms with the same structure. The rejection mechanism includes a vertical plate 63, a cylinder 64 and a push plate 65. The outer wall of the vertical plate 63 is connected to the conveying wall of the cigarette pack conveyor 3 and the conveying wall near the discharge end of the cigarette box conveyor 9. The side wall of the vertical plate 63 is connected to the fixed end of the cylinder 64. The cylinder 64 is electrically connected to the QR code reader 58 on the side of the fifth cigarette pack, the QR code reader 59 on the side of the sixth cigarette pack and the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack through the PLC in the industrial control computer. The pushing end of the cylinder 64 is connected to the side wall of the push plate 65. The pushing direction of the push plate 65 is towards the cigarette packs on the cigarette pack conveyor 3 and the cigarette boxes transported on the cigarette box conveyor 9.

[0086] This application proposes a YP113 carton sealing machine box condition association method in its second aspect, including the following steps:

[0087] The cigarette packs are conveyed by the upper cigarette pack conveyor line 12 to the position of the first position detection sensor 24 set on the upper cigarette pack conveyor line 12 and by the lower cigarette pack conveyor line 13 to the position of the first position detection sensor 24 set on the lower cigarette pack conveyor line 13. The first position detection sensor 24 transmits the cigarette pack position information to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. The PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer then controls the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack to read and detect whether the QR code on the cigarette packs conveyed in the upper cigarette pack conveyor line 12 and the lower cigarette pack conveyor line 13 is clear or missing, so as to check whether the QR code on the cigarette pack is qualified.

[0088] If the QR code on the cigarette packs conveyed in the upper layer conveyor line 12 and the lower layer conveyor line 13 of the cigarette pack fails the test, the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack will control the first rejection mechanism 51 to act through the PLC in the industrial control computer associated with the box condition, and promptly reject the cigarette packs corresponding to the unqualified QR codes conveyed in the upper layer conveyor line 12 and the lower layer conveyor line 13 of the cigarette pack;

[0089] If the QR code on the cigarette bar conveyed in the upper layer conveyor line 12 and the lower layer conveyor line 13 of the cigarette bar passes the inspection, the cigarette bar corresponding to the qualified QR code will continue to be conveyed by the upper layer conveyor line 12 to the upper layer stacker 14 for stacking and by the lower layer conveyor line 13 to the lower layer stacker 15 for stacking.

[0090] After the tobacco stacks are stacked by the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15, they are transported to the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 and monitored by the second position detection sensor 30 at the support of the upper stacker 14 and the discharge end of the lower stacker 15. After the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer receives the information that the QR code on the tobacco stick has passed the detection, the second position detection sensor 30 controls three second tobacco side QR code readers 31 through the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer to read and detect the QR code on the side of the tobacco stick in the tobacco stack at the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 and the QR code on the side of the tobacco stick in the tobacco stack at the discharge end of the lower stacker 15.

[0091] If any cigarette pack detected at the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 or the discharge end of the lower stacker 15 cannot be associated with the reading information formed by the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack, or if any cigarette pack detected at the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 cannot be associated with the reading information formed by the QR code reader 25 on the side of the first cigarette pack, then the QR code reader 31 on the side of the second cigarette pack will send the unassociated cigarette pack to the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer for marking.

[0092] If the three second cigarette side QR code readers 31 installed near the discharge end of the upper stacker 14 or the discharge end of the lower stacker 15 fail to read the QR code of the cigarette pack in the cigarette stack three times in a row, the second cigarette side QR code readers 31 will not send the information that the QR code of the cigarette pack in the detected cigarette stack cannot be read three times in a row to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer.

[0093] If any one of the three second cigarette side QR code readers 31 installed at the discharge end of the upper stacker crane 14 or the discharge end of the lower stacker crane 15 reads the QR code three times in a row, and can read the corresponding second cigarette side QR code reader 31, then the information of reading the QR code will be sent to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer for recording.

[0094] After being scanned and detected by the second cigarette side QR code reader 31, the cigarette stacks at the discharge ends of the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15 are gripped by the robotic arm clamp 53 downstream of the discharge ends of the upper stacker 14 and the lower stacker 15 and placed at the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the carton sealing machine, which is connected to the feeding end of the carton sealing machine 7. The third positioning detection sensor 41 at the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the carton sealing machine is detected, and after the PLC in the carton condition association industrial control computer receives the association information of each cigarette in the cigarette stack, the third positioning detection sensor 41 controls the third cigarette side QR code reader 42 through the PLC in the carton condition association industrial control computer to perform sequence verification and reading of the QR codes on the cigarettes in the cigarette stack at the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the carton sealing machine, and transmits the sequence verification and reading status of the cigarettes in the cigarette stack to the PLC in the carton condition association industrial control computer for recording.

[0095] To determine which stacker of which cigarette stacking conveyor line 66 the cigarettes in the stack at the feeding end of the cigarette stack pusher 32 of the carton sealing machine came from, the information formed by the PLC in the industrial control computer that verifies and reads the cigarette sequence in the stack is compared with the information formed by the QR code reader 31 on the side of the second cigarette. This comparison determines which stacker of which cigarette stacking conveyor line 66 the coded cigarettes in the stack at the feeding end of the cigarette stack pusher 32 of the carton sealing machine came from.

[0096] After the cigarette stack is scanned and detected by the third cigarette side QR code reader 42, it is monitored by the fourth positioning detection sensor 46 on the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor 32 of the sealing machine. After the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer receives the information on the cigarette sequence verification and code reading status in the cigarette stack, the fourth positioning detection sensor 46 controls three fourth cigarette side QR code readers 47 through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to scan and detect the QR code on each cigarette in the cigarette stack.

[0097] If any one of the three QR code readers 47 on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes fails to scan three times in a row, the QR code reader 47 that fails to scan three times in a row will send the unscanned information to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. The PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer will then mark the cigarette stack with the unscanned information and control the first coding machine 67 set on the box sealing machine 7 to print the QR code with the associated and unassociated information on the top of the cigarette box.

[0098] After the cigarette stacks are scanned and detected by the QR code reader 47 on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes, they are sealed by the box-sealing machine 7 and then placed into cigarette boxes that have been coded by the first coding machine 67. The cigarette boxes containing the cigarette stacks and QR codes with associated information, non-associated information, and cigarette brand information are conveyed to the second coding machine 10 on the cigarette box conveyor 9 connected to the discharge end of the box-sealing machine 7 to etch a QR code with the cigarette box brand. The cigarette boxes coded by the second coding machine 10 continue to be conveyed by the cigarette box conveyor 9 to the downstream of the second coding machine 10. The fifth arrival detection sensor 57 downstream of the second coding machine 10 detects the cigarette boxes coded by the first coding machine 67 and the second coding machine 10 and the cigarette box strip. After receiving information from the industrial control computer that the second associated scanning detection piece 6 of the third station box is associated with and not associated with the second associated scanning detection piece 4 of the second station box, the fifth position detection sensor 57 controls the fifth pack of cigarettes side QR code reader 58 through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to read the QR code with associated information, non-associated information and brand information of the cigarette pack that has been coded by the first coding machine 67 and delivered to the cigarette box. The fifth position detection sensor 57 also controls the sixth pack of cigarettes side QR code reader 59 through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to read the brand information QR code on the cigarette box after it has been coded by the second coding machine 10.

[0099] If the information generated by the QR code reader 58 on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes after reading the QR code on the cigarette box by the second coding machine 10 is not related to the information generated by the QR code reader 31 on the side of the second pack of cigarettes or the information generated by the QR code reader 47 on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes, the QR code reader 58 on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes will control the second rejection mechanism 11 on the cigarette box conveyor 9 through the PLC in the industrial control computer to remove the unrelated cigarette box from the cigarette box conveyor 9.

[0100] If the brand information generated by the QR code reader 59 on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes, which is coded by the second coding machine 10 on the cigarette box and contains brand information, is not associated with the brand information of the cigarettes on the fifth pack of cigarettes, which is coded by the QR code reader 58 on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes, which is coded by the first coding machine 67, the QR code reader 59 on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes will control the second rejection mechanism 11 to act through the PLC in the industrial control computer associated with the box conditions, and reject the unassociated cigarette boxes from the cigarette box conveyor 9.

After the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer receives the information that the QR code on the tobacco stick has passed the detection, the second position detection sensor (30) controls three second tobacco side QR code readers (31) through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to read and detect the QR code on the side of the tobacco stick in the tobacco stack located at the discharge end of the upper stacker (14) and the QR code on the side of the tobacco stick in the tobacco stack located at the discharge end of the lower stacker (15). If any cigarette in the stack detected at the discharge end of the upper stacker (14) or the discharge end of the lower stacker (15) is not associated with the reading information formed by the QR code reader (25) on the side of the first cigarette, or if any cigarette in the stack detected at the discharge end of the upper stacker (14) is not associated with the reading information formed by the QR code reader (25) on the side of the first cigarette, the QR code reader (31) on the side of the second cigarette will send the unassociated cigarette in the stack to the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer for marking. If the three second cigarette side QR code readers (31) installed near the discharge end of the upper stacker (14) or the discharge end of the lower stacker (15) fail to read the QR code of the cigarette pack in the cigarette stack three times in a row, the second cigarette side QR code readers (31) will not send the information that the QR code of the cigarette pack in the detected cigarette stack cannot be read three times in a row to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. If any one of the three second cigarette side QR code readers (31) installed at the discharge end of the upper stacker (14) or the discharge end of the lower stacker (15) reads the QR code three times in a row, and can read the corresponding second cigarette side QR code reader (31), then the information of reading the QR code will be sent to the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer for recording; After being scanned and detected by the second QR code reader (31) on the side of the cigarette pack, the cigarette packs at the discharge ends of the upper stacker (14) and the lower stacker (15) are gripped by the mechanical arm clamp (53) downstream of the discharge ends of the upper stacker (14) and the lower stacker (15) and placed at the feeding end of the cigarette pack pushing conveyor (32) of the carton sealing machine connected to the feeding end of the carton sealing machine (7), and are detected by the third positioning sensor at the feeding end of the cigarette pack pushing conveyor (32) of the carton sealing machine. 41) After the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer detects and receives the association information of each cigarette in the cigarette stack, the third position detection sensor (41) controls the QR code reader (42) on the side of the third cigarette through the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer to perform sequence verification and reading of the QR code on the cigarette in the cigarette stack at the feeding end of the cigarette stack push conveyor (32) of the box-packing machine, and transmits the sequence verification and reading of the cigarette in the cigarette stack to the PLC in the box-condition associated industrial control computer for recording; To determine which stacker in which cigarette stacking conveyor line (66) the cigarettes in the stack at the feeding end of the cigarette stack pusher conveyor (32) of the carton sealing machine came from, the information formed by the PLC in the carton condition association control computer after verifying and reading the cigarette sequence in the stack is compared with the information formed by the QR code reader (31) on the side of the second cigarette to determine which stacker in which cigarette stacking conveyor line (66) the coded cigarettes in the stack at the feeding end of the cigarette stack pusher conveyor line (32) of the carton sealing machine came from. After the cigarette stack is scanned and detected by the third cigarette side QR code reader (42), it is monitored by the fourth positioning detection sensor (46) on the feeding end side of the cigarette stack push conveyor (32) of the sealing machine. After the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer receives the cigarette sequence verification and code reading information in the cigarette stack, the fourth positioning detection sensor (46) controls three fourth cigarette side QR code readers (47) through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to scan and detect the QR code on each cigarette in the cigarette stack. If any one of the three QR code readers (47) on the side of the fourth cigarette fails to scan three times in a row, the QR code reader (47) that fails to scan three times in a row will send the unscanned information to the PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer. The PLC in the box condition association industrial control computer will mark the cigarette stack with the unscanned information and control the first coding machine (67) set on the box sealing machine (7) to print the QR code with the associated and unassociated information on the top of the cigarette box. After being scanned and detected by the QR code reader (47) on the side of the fourth pack of cigarettes, the cigarette stacks are sealed by the box sealing machine (7) and then placed into cigarette boxes that have been coded by the first coding machine (67). The cigarette boxes containing the cigarette stacks and QR codes with associated information, non-associated information, and cigarette brand information are transported to the second coding machine (10) on the cigarette box conveyor (9) connected to the discharge end of the box sealing machine (7) to coded the QR code with the cigarette box brand. The cigarette boxes coded by the second coding machine (10) continue to be transported by the cigarette box conveyor (9) to the downstream of the second coding machine (10). The fifth position detection sensor (57) downstream of the second coding machine (10) detects the cigarette boxes coded by the first coding machine (67) and the second coding machine (10). After receiving the information on whether the cigarette stack is associated or not with the second associated scanning detection piece (6) of the third station box and the second associated scanning detection piece (4) of the second station box, the fifth position detection sensor (57) controls the fifth cigarette side QR code reader (58) through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to read the QR code with associated information, non-associated information and cigarette brand information that has been coded by the first coding machine (67) on the cigarette box. The fifth position detection sensor (57) controls the sixth cigarette side QR code reader (59) through the PLC in the box condition associated industrial control computer to read the brand information QR code on the cigarette box after being coded by the second coding machine (10). If the information generated by the QR code reader (58) on the side of the cigarette box corresponding to the cigarette pack in the cigarette box and after being scanned by the second coding machine (10) is not related to the information generated by the QR code reader (31) on the side of the cigarette box or is not related to the information generated by the QR code reader (47) on the side of the cigarette box, the QR code reader (58) on the side of the cigarette box will control the second rejection mechanism (11) on the cigarette box conveyor (9) through the PLC in the industrial control computer to remove the unrelated cigarette boxes from the cigarette box conveyor (9); If the brand information generated by the QR code reader (59) on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes, which is coded by the second coding machine (10) on the cigarette box and contains brand information, is not related to the brand information of the cigarette pack generated by the QR code reader (58) on the side of the fifth pack of cigarettes, which is coded by the first coding machine (67) on the cigarette box, the QR code reader (59) on the side of the sixth pack of cigarettes will control the second rejection mechanism (11) through the PLC in the industrial control computer associated with the box conditions to reject the unrelated cigarette boxes from the cigarette box conveyor (9).
