Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cigarette making machines, and in particular to an automatic monitoring and alarm system for abnormal needle roller shred feeding. Background Art

[0002] A key component in a cigarette maker's tobacco feed mechanism is the needle roller. Its function is to remove tobacco from the metering trough. Its speed determines the rate of tobacco supply to the air chamber and the uniformity of the supply. Cigarette makers require a high level of tobacco supply uniformity. The needle roller is driven by a completely independent needle roller motor, which adjusts its speed based on the vehicle's current speed. The motor drives the mechanical transmission mechanism through its gears, providing the cigarette maker with the correct amount of tobacco to match the current speed.

[0003] Abnormal wire supply can lead to serious quality problems, such as unstable cigarette weight, excessive draw resistance, empty cigarettes, and sticky cigarettes. During equipment operation, abnormal wire supply can be caused by the needle roller stalling, toothed belt breaking, toothed belt falling, or transmission mechanism abnormalities. Due to the compact design of the equipment and the lack of electrical control system monitoring of the needle roller system's operating speed and speed ratio, the operation of the wire supply mechanism cannot be observed when these problems occur. Downtime is the only option, requiring inspection and maintenance of all parts of the wire supply mechanism.

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0039] Figure 1 This is a logic principle diagram of the automatic monitoring and alarm system for abnormal needle roller wire feeding provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for automatically monitoring and alarming abnormal needle roller wire feeding provided by an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] The present invention proposes an embodiment of an automatic monitoring and alarm system for abnormal needle roller wire feeding. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the system is applied to a cigarette making machine, the cigarette making machine including a host controller for outputting a command speed setting value, a needle roller motor, a wire reel driven by the needle roller motor through a transmission mechanism, and a needle roller shaft driven by the wire reel through a transmission belt. The system includes:

[0043] a speed acquisition module, the speed acquisition module comprising a first speed sensor provided on the needle roller motor, a second speed sensor provided on the wire reel, and a third speed sensor provided on the needle roller shaft, the first speed sensor being used to acquire an actual rotational speed of the needle roller motor to generate a first speed signal, the second speed sensor being used to acquire an actual rotational speed of the wire reel to generate a second speed signal, and the third speed sensor being used to acquire an actual rotational speed of the needle roller shaft to generate a third speed signal;

[0044] a processing unit, the processing unit being electrically connected to the speed acquisition module;

[0045] The processing unit is configured to:

[0046] receiving a command speed setting value output by the upper controller and converting the command speed setting value into a command speed;

[0047] receiving the first speed signal, the second speed signal, and the third speed signal;

[0048] performing a first speed comparison to compare the command speed with the first speed signal to determine the operating state of the needle roller motor;

[0049] performing a second speed comparison to compare the first speed signal with the second speed signal to determine an operating state of the transmission mechanism;

[0050] performing a third speed comparison, comparing the third speed signal with the second speed signal to determine the running state of the transmission belt;

[0051] When the difference of the first speed comparison exceeds a preset threshold, and / or when the result of the second speed comparison exceeds a preset threshold, and / or when the result of the third speed comparison exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm message is generated.

[0052] In this embodiment, a synchronous wheel pulse detector is installed radially on the synchronous wheel of each of the needle roller motor shaft, the yarn return shaft, and the needle roller shaft. This detector monitors the operating speed of these three shafts and transmits the information to a program in the upper-level controller (PLC) for monitoring. The installation of the sensor does not alter the original structure of the needle roller drive system, and the added mechanism does not hinder normal assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the needle roller drive system. The PLC receives speed signals from the needle roller motor shaft, the yarn return shaft, and the needle roller shaft, as well as the device connection model number, and outputs alarm and control signals.

[0053] A new touchscreen human-machine interface (HMI) was installed on the original cigarette making machine. The HMI displays real-time needle roller speed and alarm functions. Monitoring data is transmitted to the HMI via communication, and the HMI page displays a comparison curve and numerical values ​​of the sampled values ​​in real time. In the event of a fault, external sound and light alarms are displayed simultaneously on the HMI page. The HMI also indicates the fault point and cause, and historical fault information can be retrieved.

[0054] The system can also set a critical deviation window for the sampled data comparison value based on the detection sampling value. The window deviation value can be set and adjusted. According to the sampling comparison analysis, small deviations are analyzed to provide early warning of abnormal conditions at the fault point, and a prominent reminder is displayed on the HMI. Electrical, mechanical maintenance personnel or even car operators can use the early warning reminder to check, maintain and repair related parts in advance during maintenance and parking, so as to eliminate potential fault hazards in advance.

[0055] The upper controller is programmed with a control program and a touch screen configuration program. The control program sets a speed comparison algorithm, converts the speed signals of the needle roller motor shaft head, the wire return shaft, and the needle roller shaft, and sets speed limits and alarm values, and finally outputs a speed curve and alarm information.

[0056] Based on the electrical control principles of cigarette making machines, the original control prototype (RCP) sets the speed setpoint for the needle roller motor, also known as the command speed setpoint SW. This setpoint is proportional to the production rate of the cigarette making machine. The speed pulses of the command speed setpoint SW, the actual speed B2 of the needle roller motor, the actual speed B1 of the backspin shaft, and the actual speed B0 of the needle roller shaft are input into the upper controller for comparison. The command speed setpoint SW and the actual speed B2 of the needle roller motor are compared with the actual speed B0 of the needle roller shaft. The two speeds are proportional. A window speed difference is set to determine the execution of the actual speed of the needle roller motor and thus whether the needle roller motor has stalled or malfunctioned. The actual speed B2 of the needle roller motor is compared with the actual speed B1 of the backspin shaft, and the actual speed B1 of the backspin shaft is compared with the actual speed B0 of the needle roller shaft. The two speeds are proportional and the ratio is constant. By comparing the difference between the two, damage or malfunction of the intermediate transmission link can be determined.

[0057] Monitoring data is transmitted to the HMI via communication, and the HMI page displays the comparison curve and numerical values ​​of the sampled values ​​in real time. When a fault occurs, external sound and light alarms are displayed simultaneously on the HMI page. The HMI also indicates the fault location and cause, and historical faults can be queried. The system can also set a critical deviation window for the sampled data comparison value based on the detection sampling value. The window deviation value can be set and adjusted. Based on the analysis of small deviations in the sampling comparison, it can provide early warning of abnormal conditions at the fault point and a prominent prompt on the HMI. Electrical and mechanical maintenance personnel, or even the vehicle operator, can use this warning to preemptively inspect, maintain, and repair relevant parts during maintenance stops, thereby eliminating potential faults in advance.

[0058] This embodiment also provides a method for automatically monitoring and alarming abnormalities in needle roller wire feeding, which is applied to the system described above and includes the following steps:

[0059] Step S1, collecting the command speed value of the needle roller motor;

[0060] Step S2, collecting actual speed values ​​of at least three monitoring points along the power transmission path of the transmission mechanism, wherein the at least three monitoring points include a needle roller motor monitoring point, a wire reel monitoring point, and a needle roller monitoring point;

[0061] Step S3, performing a first speed comparison, comparing the command speed value with the actual speed value collected at the needle roller motor monitoring point to determine the operating state of the needle roller motor;

[0062] Step S4, performing a second speed comparison, and determining the operating state of the silk reel based on the actual speed value collected at the needle roller motor monitoring point and the actual speed value collected at the silk reel monitoring point;

[0063] Step S5, performing a third speed comparison, performing a chain speed ratio analysis on the actual speed value collected at the needle roller monitoring point, the actual speed value collected at the needle roller motor monitoring point, and the actual speed value collected at the wire reel monitoring point, to determine the operating status of the transmission belt;

[0064] Step S6: When the result of the first comparison, the result of the second comparison, or the result of the third speed comparison indicates that an abnormality exists, an alarm signal is generated to indicate the abnormality.

[0065] In this embodiment, in order to realize speed monitoring and speed difference comparison between each axis, the processing unit first linearly converts the voltage signal of the command speed setting value into the command speed SW, and uses the command speed as the target value for tracking and comparing the operating speed of the needle roller motor. The formula for converting the command speed SW from the voltage value is as follows:

[0066] = ;

[0067] in, is the rotation speed, is the voltage input value, is the upper limit for the output value, is the lower limit of the output value, The upper limit is the input value, The lower limit is the input value.

[0068] Then, the synchronous wheel pulse detector collects the synchronous wheel pulses of the needle roller motor, the wire return shaft, and the needle roller shaft, and converts the pulses into actual speed values.

[0069] Specifically, the M method speed measurement principle is used. Within a certain time period Tc, the number of pulses M1 output by the synchronous wheel of the measuring shaft is used to calculate the speed. For example, when the needle roller motor rotates one circle, the number of teeth on the synchronous wheel is Z. The number of pulses P generated by the motor during one rotation detected by the sensor is the number of teeth Z. The number of pulses generated by the sensor during the specified time interval Tc is M1, so the motor speed per minute n=60 (r / min).

[0070] The command speed SW of the needle roller motor is derived from the frequency of the RCP. This set value is provided by the host PLC and is positively correlated with the production rate of the cigarette making machine. Therefore, when the cigarette making machine is running, the command speed needs to be calibrated in the synchronous speed range first. Appropriate upper and lower limits are set through the HMI. By setting the upper limit, the converted SW speed (rotation speed) value is equal to the motor speed value. At this point, the calibration of the command speed and the synchronous speed of the needle roller motor is completed.

[0071] The motor speed is measured as Mn by the above method, and the command speed is SW. Then the synchronization rate between the motor and the command speed is = When the two speeds are completely synchronized, the synchronization rate is 100%. If the motor speed is lower than the command speed due to carbon brush problems or other mechanical reasons, the synchronization rate will be lower than 100%. The synchronization rate threshold is set to 99.8%. When the synchronization rate falls below 99.8%, the operating status is considered abnormal, and a fault alarm will pop up on the human-machine interface. The synchronous speed of the needle roller motor and the over-limit alarm will be displayed in real time, and the fault status information will be promptly communicated to the machine operator.

[0072] In the specific judgment process, the speed synchronization rate is judged in the order of the needle roller motor, the wire rewind shaft, and the needle roller shaft.

[0073] First, the synchronization rate between the command speed and the actual speed of the needle roller motor is calculated. When the synchronization rate is lower than the preset synchronization rate threshold, the operating state of the needle roller motor is judged to be abnormal and the needle roller motor needs to be repaired.

[0074] Then calculate the first speed ratio between the actual speed of the needle roller motor and the actual speed of the silk return shaft. When the first speed ratio is less than the preset reference speed ratio value, it is judged that the operating state of the silk return shaft is abnormal, and the transmission mechanism between the needle roller motor and the silk return shaft needs to be repaired.

[0075] Finally, the second speed ratio between the actual speed of the wire return shaft and the actual speed of the needle roller shaft is calculated. When the second speed ratio is less than the preset reference speed ratio value, the operating status of the needle roller shaft is judged to be abnormal, and the conveyor belt between the wire return shaft and the needle roller shaft needs to be repaired.

[0076] The speed ratio here is calculated in the same way as the synchronization rate above, so it will not be repeated here.

[0077] The present invention's automatic monitoring and alarm system and method for needle roller thread feed anomalies utilizes real-time monitoring of the rotational speeds of the needle roller motor, thread return shaft, and needle roller shaft, along with a speed comparison program and front-end display interface. The program determines the operating conditions of the three axes and displays their respective operating curves, parameter settings, and alarm status on the front-end interface. When an operational alarm is issued, the alarm point is intuitively visible, enabling precise repairs and improving the stability of the cigarette machine thread feed system and the production efficiency of the cigarette maker.
