Figure 1 As shown, the article packaging method with online control of upstream and downstream units may include the following steps:

[0030] S101: Receive the current operating status of the packaging machine and the current operating status of the cartoning machine sent by the sensor.

[0031] In this step, the packaging machine may be a YB55 small box transparent paper packaging machine, and the current operating status of the packaging machine includes: starting, working, standby, and stopping. The cartoning machine may be a YB621 cartoning machine, and the current operating status of the cartoning machine includes: starting, working, standby, and stopping.

[0032] S102. According to the current operating status of the packaging machine and the current operating status of the cartoning machine, the corresponding control motors are controlled to be in corresponding preset states, so as to transfer the articles to be transferred from the packaging machine to the cartoning machine through the transfer channel for packaging by online control of the packaging machine and the cartoning machine.

[0033] In this step, the object to be transported may be, for example, a cigarette pack. The following examples of this embodiment use cigarette packs as an example. The preset states corresponding to the control motors may be start and stop. The transport channel includes: a first channel, a second channel, and a third channel. A first motor is installed at a position corresponding to the first channel, and the first motor is used to control the first channel to transfer the object to be transported from the packaging machine to the second channel. A second motor, a third motor, and a fourth motor are installed at positions corresponding to the second channel, and the second, third, and fourth motors are used to collaboratively control the second channel to transfer the object to be transported to the third channel. A fifth motor is installed at a position corresponding to the third channel, and the fifth motor is used to control the third channel to transfer the object to be transported to the cartoning machine.

[0034] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a packaging production line provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the first channel is the packaging transmission channel shown in area A1, and the first motor is M12 installed at point a1; the second channel is the packaging transmission channel shown in area A2, the second motor is M11 installed at point a2, the third motor is M10 installed at point a3, and the fourth motor is M9 installed at point a4; the third channel is the packaging transmission channel shown in area A3, and the fifth motor is M6 installed at point a5. A photoelectric detector for detecting S11 can be installed at point b1 in the first channel, and a photoelectric detector for detecting S12 can be installed at point b2; a photoelectric detector for detecting S13 can be installed at point b3 in the second channel, and a photoelectric detector for detecting S14 can be installed at point b4 in the third channel; a photoelectric detector for detecting S15 can be installed at point b5 in the third channel, a photoelectric detector for detecting S16 can be installed at point b6 in the third channel, a photoelectric detector for detecting S17 can be installed at point b7 in the third channel, and a fiber optic detector for detecting S21 can be installed at point b8 in the third channel; an imaging detector can be installed at point b9 in the third channel, and a "box bar" associator can be installed at point b10 in the third channel.

[0035] The embodiment of the present application proposes an article packaging method with online control of upstream and downstream units, which receives the current operating status of the packaging machine and the current operating status of the cartoning machine transmitted by sensors; based on the current operating status of the packaging machine and the current operating status of the cartoning machine, controls the corresponding control motors to be in corresponding preset states, so as to transfer the articles to be transferred from the packaging machine to the cartoning machine through a transmission channel for packaging by online control of the packaging machine and the cartoning machine; wherein the transmission channel includes: a first channel, a second channel, and a third channel; a first motor is installed at a position corresponding to the first channel, and the first motor is used to control the first channel to transfer the articles to be transferred from the packaging machine to the second channel; a second motor, a third motor, and a fourth motor are installed at a position corresponding to the second channel, and the second, third, and fourth motors are used to collaboratively control the second channel to transfer the articles to be transferred to the third channel; and a fifth motor is installed at a position corresponding to the third channel, and the fifth motor is used to control the third channel to transfer the articles to be transferred to the cartoning machine. In other words, in the technical solution of the present application, the packaging production line can be monitored in real time by an intelligent control platform, and automatic article packaging can be achieved by controlling the operation of each motor. However, in the existing technology, manual packaging methods have problems such as high production costs, low production efficiency, and large production losses, making it difficult for manual packaging to fully guarantee stable product quality, resulting in low efficiency in item packaging. Therefore, compared with the existing technology, the item packaging method, device, equipment and medium with online control of upstream and downstream units proposed in the embodiments of the present application can form a complete automated production line through the synchronous coordination of upstream and downstream packaging machines, and complete the finished gift box packaging by introducing a box-feeding machine, replacing the traditional manual operation mode, significantly improving the production efficiency and quality standards of item gift box packaging; in addition, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is simple and convenient to implement, easy to popularize, and has a wider range of applications.

[0036] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of an article packaging method with online control of upstream and downstream units provided in another embodiment of the present application. It is further optimized and expanded based on the above technical solution and can be combined with the above optional implementation methods. Figure 3 As shown, the article packaging method with online control of upstream and downstream units may include the following steps:

[0037] S301. If the current operating state of the packaging machine is start-up and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is standby, the first motor is controlled to operate; when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel detects the item to be transported, the second motor, the third motor, the fourth motor and the fifth motor are controlled to operate.

[0038] S302: When the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel detects the item to be transported and the optical fiber detector installed in the third channel meets the triggering condition, the current operating state of the box-entering machine is adjusted to delayed start.

[0039] Figure 4 This is an electrical control ladder diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 , YB55 (i.e., packaging machine) starts, YB621 (i.e., cartoning machine) is in standby mode, motor M12 is in motion, controlling the two sections of conveyor belts to transport the cigarette pack to the downstream channel. When the photoelectric detection S12 detects the cigarette pack, it controls motors M6, M9-M11 to operate. Motor M11 controls the lifting flat belt to lift the cigarette pack to the high-altitude conveying channel. Motors M9 and M10 each control a section of flat belt to transport the cigarette pack to the front of the C-shaped unpowered channel. The cigarette pack falls and creates an appropriate distance. Motor M6 controls the flat belt to transport the cigarette pack to the front of YB621. When the photoelectric detection S17 detects the cigarette pack and the optical fiber detection S21 meets the trigger conditions (S21 has three optical fiber contacts, and all three contacts meet the trigger requirements, that is, the cigarette pack is in the long side horizontal conveying state), YB621 delays 0.5s to start.

[0040] Preferably, according to the current operating state of the packaging machine and the current operating state of the cartoning machine, controlling the corresponding control motor to be in a corresponding preset state includes:

[0041] If the current operating state of the packaging machine is started and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is stopped, the first motor is controlled to operate; when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel detects the items to be transported, the second motor, the third motor, the fourth motor and the fifth motor are controlled to operate; when the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel detects the accumulation of items, the fourth motor and the fifth motor are controlled to stop, and the current operating state of the packaging machine is adjusted to delayed shutdown; when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel currently does not detect the items to be transported, the first motor is controlled to stop, and when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel does not detect the items to be transported within a preset continuous period of time, the second motor and the third motor are controlled to stop.

[0042] In this step, see Figure 4 YB55 starts, YB621 is stopped, and motor M12 is in operation, controlling the two conveyor belts to transport cigarette packs to the downstream channel. When the photoelectric detector S12 detects a cigarette pack, motors M6, M9-M11 are controlled to operate, transporting the cigarette packs to the front of YB621. When the photoelectric detector S16 detects cigarette pack accumulation, motors M6 and M9 immediately stop to prevent the cigarette packs from continuing to be transported and accumulated in the downstream channel. YB55 stops after a delay of 3 seconds, and motors M10-M12 continue to operate, allowing the cigarette packs to be buffered in front of the C-bend unpowered channel. When the photoelectric detector S11 detects no cigarette packs, motor M12 stops. When the photoelectric detector S12 detects no cigarette packs for 10 consecutive seconds, the cigarette pack buffering process is completed, and motors M10 and M11 stop. Therefore, when the packaging machine starts and the cartoning machine stops, by controlling the operation of the corresponding motors, effective online control of the packaging machine and the cartoning machine is achieved.

[0043] Preferably, according to the current operating state of the packaging machine and the current operating state of the cartoning machine, controlling the corresponding control motor to be in a corresponding preset state includes:

[0044] If the current operating state of the packaging machine is standby and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is start, the fifth motor is controlled to operate; when the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel and the photoelectric detector installed in the second channel currently do not detect the items to be transported, the current operating state of the packaging machine is adjusted to start, and the first motor is controlled to operate; when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel detects the items to be transported, the second motor, the third motor and the fourth motor are controlled to operate; when the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel currently does not detect the items to be transported, and the photoelectric detector installed in the second channel detects the items to be transported, the current operating state of the packaging machine is adjusted to start, and the first motor, the second motor, the third motor and the fourth motor are controlled to operate.

[0045] In this step, see Figure 4 , YB621 starts, YB55 is in standby mode, and motor M6 activates, feeding the cigarette packs in the conveyor channel into YB621. When photoelectric detector S16 detects no cigarette packs, and photoelectric detector S14 detects no cigarette packs, YB55 starts, motor M12 activates, and when photoelectric detector S12 detects a cigarette pack, motors M9-M11 are controlled to operate, conveying the cigarette packs to the downstream channel. When photoelectric detector S16 detects no cigarette packs, and photoelectric detector S14 detects a cigarette pack, YB55 starts, motor M12 activates, and motors M9-M11 simultaneously activate, conveying the buffered cigarette packs to the downstream channel. Thus, when the packaging machine is in standby mode and the cartoning machine is in operation, controlling the corresponding motors effectively achieves online control of the packaging and cartoning machines.

[0046] Preferably, according to the current operating state of the packaging machine and the current operating state of the cartoning machine, controlling the corresponding control motor to be in a corresponding preset state includes:

[0047] If the current operating state of the packaging machine is shutdown and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is startup, the fifth motor is controlled to operate; when the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel currently does not detect the item to be transferred, and the photoelectric detector installed in the second channel detects the item to be transferred, the second motor, the third motor and the fourth motor are controlled to operate; when the photoelectric detector installed in the second channel currently does not detect the item to be transferred, the second motor, the third motor and the fourth motor are controlled to stop; when the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel currently does not detect the item to be transferred, the fifth motor is controlled to stop, and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is adjusted to shutdown; when both the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel and the photoelectric detector installed in the second channel currently do not detect the item to be transferred, the fifth motor is controlled to stop, and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is adjusted to shutdown.

[0048] In this step, see Figure 4 , YB621 starts, YB55 is stopped, and motor M6 activates, feeding the cigarette packs in the conveyor channel into YB621. When photoelectric detector S16 detects the absence of cigarette packs and photoelectric detector S14 detects the presence of cigarette packs, motors M9-M11 activate, conveying the buffered cigarette packs to the downstream channel. When photoelectric detector S14 detects the absence of cigarette packs, motors M9-M11 stop, completely emptying the cigarette packs in the overhead conveyor channel. When photoelectric detector S17 detects the absence of cigarette packs, motor M6 stops, and YB621 shuts down. When photoelectric detectors S16 and S14 detect the absence of cigarette packs, motor M6 stops, and YB621 shuts down. Thus, when the packaging machine is stopped and the cartoning machine starts, controlling the operation of the corresponding motors effectively achieves online control of the packaging and cartoning machines.

[0049] The article packaging method with online control of upstream and downstream units proposed in the embodiment of the present application effectively realizes online control of the packaging machine and the cartoning machine by controlling the operation of the corresponding motors when the packaging machine is started and the cartoning machine is on standby.

[0050] Figure 5 A flow chart of an article packaging method with online control of upstream and downstream units provided in another embodiment of the present application. Based on the above technical solution, it is further optimized and expanded, and can be combined with the above optional implementation methods. Figure 5 As shown, the article packaging method with online control of upstream and downstream units may include the following steps:

[0051] S501. If the current operating state of the packaging machine is working and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is working, when the imaging detector installed in the third channel continuously detects that the quality of a preset number of items to be transferred is unqualified, or when the item associator installed in the third channel fails to complete item association, the fourth motor is controlled to stop.

[0052] S502: When the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel currently does not detect the object to be conveyed, the fifth motor is controlled to stop, the current operating state of the packaging machine is adjusted to delayed shutdown, and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is adjusted to shutdown.

[0053] In this step, after adjusting the current operating state of the packaging machine to delayed shutdown, the first motor, the second motor and the third motor are controlled to continue to start; when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel currently does not detect the object to be transported, the first motor is controlled to stop; when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel does not detect the object to be transported within a preset continuous period of time, the second motor and the third motor are controlled to stop.

[0054] Figure 6 This is an electrical control ladder diagram provided by another embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 YB55 and YB621 are in operation. If three consecutive cigarette packs are detected as unqualified by the cigarette pack imaging inspection, or if a fault occurs in the cigarette pack "box condition" association, motor M9 stops. If photoelectric detection S17 detects the absence of cigarette packs, motor M6 stops, YB621 stops, and YB55 stops after a delay of 3 seconds. Motors M10-M12 continue to operate, allowing the cigarette packs to be buffered in front of the C-bend unpowered channel. If photoelectric detection S11 detects the absence of cigarette packs, motor M12 stops. If photoelectric detection S12 detects the absence of cigarette packs for 10 consecutive seconds, the cigarette pack buffering process is complete, and motors M10 and M11 stop.

[0055] Preferably, according to the current operating state of the packaging machine and the current operating state of the cartoning machine, controlling the corresponding control motor to be in a corresponding preset state includes:

[0056] When the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel detects the accumulation of objects, the first motor is controlled to stop and the current operating state of the packaging machine is adjusted to delayed shutdown; when the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel does not currently detect the objects to be transported, the second motor, the third motor, the fourth motor and the fifth motor are controlled to stop, and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is adjusted to shutdown.

[0057] In this step, after the first motor is controlled to stop, the second motor, the third motor, the fourth motor and the fifth motor are controlled to continue to start.

[0058] See also Figure 6 , YB55 and YB621 are in working state. When the photoelectric detection S11 and S12 detect that cigarette packs are piled up, the cigarette pack bending channel is blocked, the motor M12 stops, YB55 stops after a delay of 3s, and the motors M6, M9-M11 continue to move; when the photoelectric detection S17 detects that there are no cigarette packs, the motors M6, M9-M11 stop, and YB621 stops.

[0059] When the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel detects that objects are piled up and the photoelectric detector installed in the second channel does not detect objects to be conveyed, the first motor and the second motor are controlled to stop, and the current operating state of the packaging machine is adjusted to delayed shutdown.

[0060] In this step, after the first motor and the second motor are controlled to stop, the third motor, the fourth motor and the fifth motor are controlled to continue to start at the same time.

[0061] See also Figure 6, YB55 and YB621 are in working state. When the photoelectric detection S12 detects that the cigarette packs are piled up and the photoelectric detection S13 detects that there are no cigarette packs, the cigarette pack lifting channel is blocked, the motors M11 and M12 stop, YB55 stops after a delay of 3s, and the motors M6, M9, and M10 continue to move; when the photoelectric detection S17 detects that there are no cigarette packs, the motors M6, M9, and M10 stop, and YB621 stops.

[0062] When the photoelectric detector installed in the second channel detects that the articles are piled up, the first motor, the second motor, the third motor and the fourth motor are controlled to stop, and the current operation state of the packaging machine is adjusted to delayed shutdown.

[0063] In this step, after the first motor, the second motor, the third motor and the fourth motor are controlled to stop, the fifth motor is controlled to continue to start.

[0064] See also Figure 6 , YB55 and YB621 are in working state. When the photoelectric detection S13 and S14 detect that cigarette packs are piled up, the high-altitude conveyor belt is blocked, the motors M9-12 stop, YB55 stops after a delay of 3s, and the motor M6 continues to move; when the photoelectric detection S17 detects that there are no cigarette packs, the motor M6 stops and YB621 stops.

[0065] When the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel does not detect the objects to be conveyed or detects that the objects are piled up, and the photoelectric detector installed in the second channel continues to detect the objects to be conveyed, the fourth motor is controlled to stop.

[0066] In this step, when the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel detects the item to be transported, the fifth motor is controlled to stop, and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is adjusted to shutdown, and the current operating state of the packaging machine is adjusted to delayed shutdown, and the first motor, the second motor and the third motor are controlled to continue to start; when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel currently does not detect the item to be transported, the first motor is controlled to stop, and when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel does not detect the item to be transported within a preset continuous period of time, the second motor and the third motor are controlled to stop.

[0067] See also Figure 6When YB55 and YB621 are in operation, if photoelectric detection S15 detects cigarette pack accumulation, or if photoelectric detection S15 detects no cigarette packs while photoelectric detection S14 continuously detects cigarette packs, the C-bend unpowered passage is clogged with cigarette packs, and motor M9 stops. When photoelectric detection S17 detects no cigarette packs, motor M6 stops, YB621 shuts down, and YB55 stops after a 3-second delay. Motors M10-M12 continue to operate, buffering the cigarette packs in front of the C-bend unpowered passage. When photoelectric detection S11 detects no cigarette packs, motor M12 stops. When photoelectric detection S12 detects no cigarette packs for 10 consecutive seconds, the cigarette pack buffering process is complete, and motors M10-M11 stop.

[0068] When the photoelectric detector installed in the third channel detects that items are piled up and no items to be transferred are detected, the fourth motor and the fifth motor are controlled to stop, and the current operating state of the packaging machine is adjusted to delayed shutdown, and the current operating state of the cartoning machine is adjusted to shutdown.

[0069] In this step, after controlling the fourth motor and the fifth motor to stop, the first motor, the second motor and the third motor are controlled to continue to start at the same time; when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel currently does not detect the object to be transported, the first motor is controlled to stop, and when the photoelectric detector installed in the first channel does not detect the object to be transported within a preset continuous period of time, the second motor and the third motor are controlled to stop.

[0070] See also Figure 6 , YB55 and YB621 are in working state. When the photoelectric detection S16 detects that the cigarette packs are piled up, and the photoelectric detection S17 does not detect the cigarette packs, the cigarette packs are piled up on the lower conveyor belt, the motors M6 and M9 stop, YB621 stops, YB55 stops after a delay of 3 seconds, and the motors M10-M12 continue to move, so that the cigarette packs are buffered in front of the C-bend unpowered channel; when the photoelectric detection S11 detects that there are no cigarette packs, the motor M12 stops. When the photoelectric detection S12 detects that there are no cigarette packs for 10 consecutive seconds, the cigarette pack caching process is completed, and the motors M10-M11 stop.

[0071] The article packaging method with online control of upstream and downstream units proposed in the embodiment of the present application effectively realizes online control of the packaging machine and the cartoning machine by controlling the operation of the corresponding motors when both the packaging machine and the cartoning machine are in operation.

[0072] In summary, this embodiment can be used for cigarette gift box packaging. The packaging production line includes a YB55 small box transparent paper packaging machine, a cigarette pack conveyor channel, and a YB621 small box box inserting machine. The cigarette pack conveyor channel is equipped with a small box bending motor M12, a small box lifting motor M11, a small box high-altitude front motor M10, a small box high-altitude rear motor M9, a small box conveyor belt motor M6, photoelectric sensors B11-B17, a fiber optic sensor B21, cigarette pack imaging detection, and "box strip" correlation detection. During the control process, sensors monitor the operating status of the packaging machine and conveyor channel, and transmit signals to the PLC for processing, achieving synchronized and coordinated operation of upstream and downstream packaging machines. The online technical requirements are as follows: cigarette packs cannot be piled up at the cigarette pack imaging detection site, as the piled-up cigarette packs will cause the imaging detection camera to be unable to normally capture all sides of the cigarette packs, resulting in the risk of missing cigarette pack quality detection; cigarette packs cannot be piled up at the "box strip" association detection site, as the cigarette pack QR code is located on the long side of the cigarette pack, and the piled-up cigarette packs will cause the "box strip" association detection camera to be unable to scan the code normally, resulting in "box strip" association failure; when YB55 and YB621 are running online, when YB621 stops, due to the working characteristics of YB55, YB55 needs to be delayed to stop, and its immediate shutdown may affect the cigarette pack forming quality, and even cause cigarette jams, etc.; the packaging machine is connected The conveyor is a flat belt conveyor, passing through a C-bend, unpowered channel and utilizing the time difference between the free-fall of front and rear cigarette packs to create an appropriate distance between cigarette packs. This allows for smooth imaging detection and "carton strip" alignment on the downstream conveyor. The YB55 operates at a speed of 180 packs / min, while the YB621 operates at a speed of 200 packs / min. The downstream packaging machine runs faster than the upstream machine, preventing excessive cigarette accumulation in the conveyor and causing upstream machine downtime, thus improving equipment efficiency. The YB621 inspects cigarette pack alignment before forming cartons, ensuring that packs enter the YB621 with their long sides aligned horizontally to prevent cartons from jamming. Thus, the integration of the YB55 small-box transparent paper wrapper and the YB621 cartoning machine creates a dedicated automated production line for cigarette cartons, replacing manual packaging with machine-based packaging. Compared to traditional manual cartons, this significantly improves efficiency and reduces costs while effectively ensuring packaging quality.
