When the detection component detects that the cigarette package 9 is an unqualified cigarette package 9, the controller controls the fourth drive unit 626 to move, so that the fourth drive unit 626 transports the unqualified cigarette package 9 to the unqualified area 625; when the detection component detects that the cigarette package 9 is a qualified cigarette package 9, the controller controls the fourth drive unit 626 to move, so that the fourth drive unit 626 transports the qualified cigarette package 9 to the qualified area 624.

[0081] During operation, the first detection device 3 and the second detection device 4 detect the appearance of the cigarette pack 9 and transmit the detection results to the controller; then, the controller controls the third driving unit to work, and the third driving unit drives the third push plate 614 to move, so that the third push plate 614 pushes the inspected cigarette pack 9, and conveys the cigarette pack 9 to the second support bracket 621 through the conveying port 622. At this time, the controller controls the fourth driving unit 626 to move, and conveys the inspected cigarette pack 9 to the qualified area 624 or the unqualified area 625, thereby completing the removal of unqualified cigarette packs 9 and allowing qualified cigarette packs 9 to enter the next process, avoiding the situation where unqualified cigarette packs 9 flow into the market and cause quality risks, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0082] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack appearance detection system of the present invention, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the fourth driving unit 626 includes a fourth driving motor 618, a synchronous belt 619, a second rotating shaft and two connecting seats 6110. The two connecting seats 6110 are arranged on one side of the support platform 613 and are located at both ends of the support platform 613. The two ends of the second rotating shaft are respectively rotatably set on the connecting seats 6110, and the two ends of the synchronous belt 619 are sleeved on the second rotating shaft. The fourth driving motor 618 is connected to one of the second rotating shafts. The first end of the push plate is fixed on the synchronous belt 619, and the second end of the push plate extends to the support platform 613.

[0083] Specifically, when the controller controls the fourth drive motor 618 to rotate, the fourth drive motor 618 drives one of the second rotating shafts to rotate, and the rotation of the second rotating shaft drives the synchronous belt 619 to rotate, thereby driving the third push plate 614 to move, so that the third push plate 614 pushes the cigarette pack 9 and transports the cigarette pack 9 to the second support bracket 621.

[0084] The present invention rotates and sets the two ends of the second rotating shaft on the connecting seat 6110 respectively, and the two ends of the synchronous belt 619 are sleeved on the second rotating shaft. The fourth drive motor 618 is connected to one of the second rotating shafts. The second rotating shaft and the synchronous belt 619 are driven to move by the fourth drive motor 618, so that the third push plate 614 set on the synchronous belt 619 can quickly push the cigarette pack 9 to the second support bracket 621, thereby further improving work efficiency, and the structure is simple and easy to use.

[0085] Furthermore, a sensor is provided on the connecting seat 6110 near the side of the second support bracket 621, and the sensor is electrically connected to the controller. When the cigarette pack 9 is transported to the second support bracket 621, the sensor detects that there is no cigarette pack 9 on the synchronous belt 619, and transmits a signal to the controller. The controller controls the fourth drive motor 618 to rotate again to move the third push plate 614 to the initial position, so that the third push plate 614 can continue to push the cigarette pack 9.

[0086] Furthermore, the third push plate 614 includes a second fixed plate 615, a second connecting plate 616 and a push block 617. The second fixed plate 615 is set on the synchronous belt 619, the push block 617 is located above the support platform 613, and the two ends of the second connecting plate 616 are respectively connected to the second fixed plate 615 and the push block 617.

[0087] The present invention sets the second fixed plate 615 on the synchronous belt 619, and positions the push block 617 above the support platform 613, and connects the two ends of the second connecting plate 616 to the second fixed plate 615 and the push block 617 respectively. When the second fixed plate 615 moves with the synchronous belt 619, the synchronous belt 619 drives the second connecting plate 616 and the push block 617 to move, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the third push plate 614.

[0088] The transmission assembly 61 further includes two baffles, which are respectively disposed at the ends of the two connecting seats 6110 , and the third push plate 614 is located between the two baffles.

[0089] The present invention sets two baffles at the ends of the two connecting seats 6110 respectively, and locates the third push plate 614 between the two baffles, thereby limiting the movement of the third push plate 614 through the baffles, thereby avoiding the problem of damage caused by collision between the third push plate 614 and other devices.

[0090] In one embodiment of the cigarette pack appearance detection system of the present invention, Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the sorting assembly 62 further includes two shifting blocks 627, a connecting port 623, two movable plates 628, and a connecting rod 629. The connecting port 623 is provided on the second support bracket 621 and corresponds to the delivery port 622. The two movable plates 628 are movably provided at both ends of the connecting port 623. The first ends of the movable plates 628 are connected to the shifting blocks 627. The spacing between the two shifting blocks 627 is greater than the width of the cigarette pack 9. The first ends of the connecting rods 629 are respectively connected to the movable plates 628.

[0091] The third driving unit includes a fifth driving motor 6261, a second fixed bracket 6262, a rotating rod 6263, an electromagnet and a second moving block 6264. The second fixed bracket 6262 is fixed on the box body 1, and the two ends of the rotating rod 6263 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the second fixed bracket 6262. The fifth driving motor 6261 is connected to the rotating rod 6263, and the second moving block 6264 is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 629. The outer wall of the second moving block 6264 is connected to the connecting rod 629. The electromagnet is arranged at the bottom of the second support bracket 621 and is located on both sides of the connecting port 623. The magnetic poles of the electromagnet and the shift block 627 are opposite.

[0092] Furthermore, the shift block 627 is made of iron. The fourth driving unit 626 further includes an electromagnet, which is disposed at the bottom of the second support bracket 621 and located on both sides of the connecting port 623 . The magnetic poles of the electromagnet and the shift block 627 are opposite.

[0093] Specifically, when the movable plate 628 moves to the end of the connecting port 623, the top of the shift block 627 of the movable plate 628 that contacts the end of the connecting port 623 remains level with the connecting port 623. At this time, the top of the shift block 627 of the movable plate 628 that does not contact the end of the connecting port 623 is located above the connecting port 623.

[0094] When the cigarette pack 9 is conveyed onto the second support bracket 621 , the cigarette pack 9 is moved between the two shifting blocks 627 by the action of the third push plate 614 and is located above the connecting port 623 .

[0095] When the detection component detects that the cigarette pack 9 is an unqualified cigarette pack 9, the controller controls the fourth driving part 626 to move. When the fourth driving motor 618 rotates, it can drive the connecting rod 629 to rotate, so that the second moving block 6264 can move on the rotating rod 6263, thereby driving the connecting rod 629 to move to the left. The movement of the connecting rod 629 simultaneously drives the two moving plates 628 to move to the left. The movement of the two moving plates 628 drives the two shifting blocks 627 to move to the left, so that the shifting block 627 drives the unqualified cigarette pack 9 to move to the left; when the shifting block 627 moves to the end of the connecting port 623, the shifting block 627 on the left gradually approaches the electromagnet, and the shifting block 627 is gradually moved downward by the suction force until the top of the shifting block 627 is level with the connecting port 623, so that the shifting block 627 on the right pushes the cigarette pack 9 to the unqualified area 625.

[0096] When the detection component detects that the cigarette pack 9 is a qualified cigarette pack 9, the controller controls the fourth driving part 626 to move. When the fourth driving motor 618 rotates, it can drive the connecting rod 629 to rotate, so that the second moving block 6264 can move on the rotating rod 6263, thereby driving the connecting rod 629 to move to the right. The movement of the connecting rod 629 simultaneously drives the two moving plates 628 to move to the right. The movement of the two moving plates 628 drives the two shifting blocks 627 to move to the right, so that the shifting block 627 drives the qualified cigarette pack 9 to move to the right; when the shifting block 627 moves to the end of the connecting port 623, the shifting block 627 on the right gradually approaches the electromagnet, and the shifting block 627 is gradually moved downward by the suction force until the top of the shifting block 627 on the right is level with the connecting port 623, so that the shifting block 627 on the left pushes the cigarette pack 9 to the qualified area 624.

[0097] In addition, the up and down movement of the shift block 627 can cause the movable plate 628 disposed on the second support bracket 621 to move up and down. For example, the connecting rod 629 is an electrically powered telescopic rod, or a telescopic rod, and the up and down movement of the movable plate 628 is achieved by controlling the up and down movement of the connecting rod 629. When the connecting rod 629 is an electrically powered telescopic rod, the connecting rod 629 is electrically connected to a controller. When the movable plate 628 moves to the end of the connection port 623, the controller controls the corresponding connecting rod 629 to retract, causing the connected movable plate 628 to move downward, thereby retracting the shift block 627, and thereby allowing the cigarette packs 9 to be pushed to the qualified area 624 or the unqualified area 625.

[0098] Alternatively, the shift block 627 may be connected to the movable plate 628 via a spring, that is, the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the shift block 627 and the movable plate 628. When magnetically attracted, the spring is compressed to enable the shift block 627 to move downward. The specific structure is not limited here.

[0099] It should be noted that by controlling the forward or reverse rotation of the fifth drive motor 6261, the rotating rod 6263 can be driven to rotate forward or reverse, thereby moving the second movable block 6264 to the left or right. Alternatively, by controlling the forward or reverse rotation of the fifth drive motor 6261, the rotating rod 6263 can be driven to rotate forward or reverse, thereby moving the second movable block 6264 to the right or left. This is limited.
