[0043] The present application provides an electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment is used for detecting the packaging box 19 of the electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment comprises a conveying module 10, a jacking assembly, a rotating assembly, a first detection device 13a and a second detection device 13b. The conveying module 10 is provided with a positioning structure 105 for supporting the packaging box 19. The jacking assembly is at least partially arranged below the conveying module 10, and is used for jacking up the packaging box 19 so that the packaging box 19 is separated from the positioning structure 105. The rotating assembly is used for driving the packaging box 19 to rotate around a first rotation shaft and a second rotation shaft. The first rotation shaft and the second rotation shaft are arranged in intersecting directions. The first detection device 13a is arranged above the conveying module 10, and is used for photographing the packaging box 19 when the packaging box 19 rotates around the first rotation shaft. The second detection device 13b is arranged on one side of the conveying module 10, and is used for photographing the packaging box 19 when the packaging box 19 rotates around the second rotation shaft.

[0045] Specifically, the detection equipment comprises a conveying module 10, a jacking assembly, a rotating assembly, a first detection device 13a and a second detection device 13b. The conveying module 10 is used for conveying the packaging box 19 to be detected, and is provided with a positioning structure 105 for accurately positioning and stably supporting the packaging box 19, so as to ensure the stability and position consistency of the packaging box 19 to be detected during the detection process. The jacking assembly is at least partially arranged below the conveying module 10, and can move up and down. When the packaging box 19 to be detected reaches the detection position, the jacking assembly moves upward to smoothly jack up the packaging box 19 from the positioning structure 105, so that the packaging box 19 is separated from the conveying module 10 and enters a freely rotatable state.

[0046] The rotating assembly can drive the lifted packaging box 19 to rotate around the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis respectively, and the extension directions of the two rotation axes are intersected, so as to give the packaging box 19 the rotation ability of multiple degrees of freedom. When the packaging box 19 rotates around the first rotation axis (for example, a horizontal axis), the top, bottom and part of the side of the packaging box 19 can be made to face upward. In this process, the first detection device 13a above can continuously or step by step shoot the top, bottom and part of the side of the packaging box 19. When the packaging box 19 rotates around the second rotation axis (for example, a vertical axis), the four circumferential sides of the packaging box 19 can be made to turn to the second detection device 13b on the side in turn, and the second detection device 13b on the side can shoot the four circumferential sides of the packaging box 19 in turn.

[0047] It can be understood that the packaging box 19 is first moved to the detection position by the conveying module 10 and is precisely positioned by the positioning structure 105 on the conveying module 10, so as to ensure that it is in the standard detection position. Subsequently, the lifting assembly arranged below the conveying module 10 moves upward to lift the packaging box 19 as a whole, so that it is separated from the positioning structure 105, thereby providing space for subsequent rotation operation. After being lifted to the position, the rotating assembly starts to work, first drives the packaging box 19 to rotate around the first rotation axis, and at this time, the first detection device 13a arranged above the conveying module 10 shoots the top, bottom and part of the side of the packaging box 19 in turn, thereby completing image acquisition of these surfaces. Then, the rotating assembly drives the packaging box 19 to rotate around the second rotation axis again, and the extension direction of the second rotation axis intersects with that of the first rotation axis. In the rotating process, the second detection device 13b arranged on one side of the conveying module 10 shoots the four circumferential sides of the packaging box 19 in turn, thereby realizing overall coverage of the side surfaces. Of course, only the remaining two side surfaces which are not shot by the first detection device 13a can be shot, so as to shorten the shooting time of the second detection device 13b and reduce the memory required by the second detection device 13b. After image acquisition of all the side surfaces is completed, the control system processes and analyzes the images, judges whether there is a defect in the appearance of the packaging box 19. Finally, the lifting assembly descends to stably place the packaging box 19 on the positioning structure 105 of the conveying module 10, thereby restoring the normal posture of the packaging box 19, and the qualified products continue to flow to the next process, and the unqualified products are automatically rejected or marked. The whole process realizes automatic, high-precision and low-cost multi-surface appearance detection, and effectively improves the intelligent level and detection efficiency of the electronic cigarette packaging line.

[0048] In the process, the packaging box 19 rotates around the first rotation axis, which can cause the focal length of the first detection device 13a to be different, and the first detection device 13a can be driven by the linear module to move up and down, so as to adjust the distance between the first detection device 13a and the packaging box 19. In the process, the packaging box 19 rotates around the second rotation axis, which can cause the focal length of the second detection device 13b to be different, and the second detection device 13b can be driven by the horizontal moving module to move forward and backward, so as to adjust the distance between the second detection device 13b and the packaging box 19.

[0049] The technical scheme of the present application sets the jacking assembly and the rotating assembly, so that the packaging box 19 can be separated from the conveying module after being jacked up by the jacking assembly, and can rotate around the first rotation shaft and the second rotation shaft under the driving of the rotating assembly, thereby completing the image acquisition of the six faces of the packaging box 19 under the shooting of the first detection device 13a and the second detection device 13b. Not only can multiple face imaging be completed without moving the detection device, but also complete imaging of multiple surfaces of the packaging box 19 can be achieved by only configuring two detection devices, effectively replacing the layout of three or even more cameras in the traditional scheme, reducing the number of cameras. This not only greatly reduces the hardware procurement cost and system integration complexity, but also simplifies the calibration and synchronization logic of the image processing system, improves the equipment operation stability and maintainability.

[0050] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the conveying module 10 has a first detection position corresponding to the first detection device 13a and a second detection position corresponding to the second detection device 13b in the X-axis direction, the jacking assembly includes a first jacking assembly 11a corresponding to the first detection position and a second jacking assembly 11b corresponding to the second detection position, and the rotating assembly includes two first rotating assemblies 12a and one second rotating assembly 12b; the two first rotating assemblies 12a are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying module 10 in the Y-axis direction corresponding to the first detection position, and can clamp the packaging box 19 located on the first jacking assembly 11a and drive the packaging box 19 to rotate around the first rotation shaft, the first rotation shaft extending along the Y-axis direction; the second rotating assembly 12b is arranged on the second jacking assembly 11b, and can drive the packaging box 19 to move up and down along the Z-axis direction under the driving of the second jacking assembly 11b, and can drive the packaging box 19 to rotate around the second rotation shaft, the second rotation shaft extending along the Z-axis direction.

[0051] The conveying module 10 is provided with the first detection position and the second detection position in the X-axis direction, the first detection position is located below the first detection device 13a, and is used for performing imaging detection of the top, bottom and circumferential side of the packaging box 19; the second detection position is arranged corresponding to the second detection device 13b, and is used for completing imaging detection of the remaining other sides of the packaging box 19. The first detection position can be located upstream of the second detection position, or can be located downstream of the second detection position. That is, the detection of the four sides of the packaging box 19 can be completed by the first detection device 13a first, and then the detection of the remaining two sides of the packaging box 19 can be completed by the second detection device 13b; conversely, the detection of the two sides can be completed by the second detection device 13b first, and then the detection of the remaining four sides can be completed by the first detection device 13a. This is not limited.

[0052] The detection device is configured with two independent jacking assemblies, i.e., a first jacking assembly 11a and a second jacking assembly 11b. The first jacking assembly 11a is arranged below the first detection position and is used to vertically jack the packaging box 19 conveyed to the position from the positioning structure 105 of the conveying module 10, so that it is separated from the original support surface, thereby providing space and freedom for the subsequent rotation of the two first rotating assemblies 12a. The second jacking assembly 11b is correspondingly arranged below the second detection position and has the functions of lifting and rotating the second rotating assembly 12b, thereby driving the packaging box 19 to perform a combined motion.

[0053] The two first rotating assemblies 12a are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying module 10 in the Y-axis direction at the first detection position. When the packaging box 19 is jacked to a predetermined height by the first jacking assembly 11a, the two first rotating assemblies 12a are simultaneously moved towards each other to clamp the two side surfaces of the packaging box 19, thereby forming a stable clamping structure. Subsequently, the clamping mechanism drives the packaging box 19 to rotate around the first rotation shaft extending along the Y-axis direction, i.e., to rotate around the horizontal lateral axis. In this process, the first detection device 13a arranged above the conveying module 10 can continuously or step-by-step capture images of the top surface, bottom surface and two side surfaces of the packaging box 19.

[0054] The second rotating assembly 12b is integrated on the second jacking assembly 11b and is located at the second detection position. The second rotating assembly 12b not only has the ability to drive the packaging box 19 to move along the Z-axis direction as a whole under the driving of the second jacking assembly 11b, thereby adjusting the position of the packaging box 19 in the vertical space, but also has the ability to drive the packaging box 19 to rotate around the second rotation shaft extending along the Z-axis direction. When the packaging box 19 is conveyed to the second detection position and is jacked by the second jacking assembly 11b, the second rotating assembly 12b can drive the packaging box 19 to rotate around the second rotation shaft, so that the remaining two side surfaces are sequentially turned to the side where the second detection device 13b is located, thereby facilitating the second detection device 13b to capture images of the remaining two side surfaces. Only two detection devices are required to realize complete imaging of multiple surfaces of the packaging box 19, effectively replacing the layout of three or even more cameras in the traditional scheme, reducing the number of cameras, and thereby reducing the cost of the detection device.

[0055] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 3, the first detection device 13a and the second detection device 13b share the same detection position, and only one lifting assembly is provided, the two first rotating assemblies 12a are respectively arranged on two sides of the conveying module 10 in the Y-axis direction corresponding to the shared detection position, and the second rotating assembly 12b is arranged on the lifting assembly, the two first rotating assemblies 12a can clamp the packaging box 19 located on the lifting assembly and drive the packaging box 19 to rotate around the first rotating shaft, and the second rotating assembly 12b can drive the packaging box 19 to move up and down along the Z-axis direction under the driving of the lifting assembly and drive the packaging box 19 to rotate around the second rotating shaft, the first rotating shaft extends along the Y-axis direction, and the second rotating shaft extends along the Z-axis direction.

[0056] The first detection position and the second detection position originally arranged in the X-axis direction are combined into one shared detection position, and the first detection device 13a and the second detection device 13b are arranged in the same detection area, thereby realizing high integration of multi-angle visual detection functions. Correspondingly, the detection equipment is only provided with one lifting assembly arranged below the shared detection position, which is used for uniformly performing the lifting action of the packaging box 19, thereby further simplifying the mechanical structure, reducing the number of parts, and reducing the equipment manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty.

[0057] In the embodiment, the two first rotating assemblies 12a are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the conveying module 10 in the Y-axis direction and face the shared detection position. When the packaging box 19 is conveyed to the detection position by the conveying module 10 and accurately positioned, the lifting assembly is started to vertically lift the packaging box 19 along the Z-axis direction from the positioning structure 105. At this time, the two first rotating assemblies 12a arranged on the two sides of the Y-axis move towards each other to clamp the packaging box 19. Then, the two first rotating assemblies 12a are synchronously driven to drive the packaging box 19 to rotate around the first rotating shaft. In this process, the first detection device 13a located above the conveying module 10 can continuously or stepwise image the top of the packaging box 19 and each side surface (such as the front surface, the back surface, the left side surface and the right side surface) gradually exposed with the rotation, thereby completing the overall appearance detection of the upper region of the packaging box 19.

[0058] Meanwhile, the second rotating assembly 12b is integrated on the same lifting assembly, and the second rotating assembly 12b not only can move up and down along the Z-axis with the lifting assembly as a whole, but also has independent rotating driving capability. After the detection in the first rotating shaft direction is completed, the system can switch the detection mode. That is, the two first rotating assemblies 12a exit the clamping state, and then the second rotating assembly 12b clamps the packaging box 19. After that, the second rotating assembly 12b drives the packaging box 19 to rotate around the second rotating shaft, so that the front side surface and the back side door previously clamped by the first rotating assembly 12a enter the field of view range of the second detection device 13b arranged on one side of the conveying module 10 in sequence, thereby realizing the image acquisition of the six side surfaces of the packaging box 19.

[0059] The design of the shared detection position concentrates multiple detection actions in a single station, greatly shortens the occupied space of the detection equipment in the X-axis direction, and is beneficial to deployment in a production environment with limited space. Moreover, only one jacking assembly is provided to meet the needs of two rotation detection modes, reducing the number of pneumatic / electrical actuators, reducing system complexity and energy consumption. In addition, the detection process can be sequentially performed at the same position, avoiding repeated lifting and positioning of the packaging box 19 between multiple stations, and shortening the detection time.

[0060] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The first rotation assembly 12a and the second rotation assembly 12b are provided with vacuum nozzles 21 for abutting one side of the packaging box 19.

[0061] The first rotation assembly 12a and the second rotation assembly 12b are provided with vacuum nozzles 21 for abutting one side of the packaging box 19. The vacuum nozzles 21 serve as flexible suction mechanisms that can firmly adhere to the outer surface of the packaging box 19 through negative pressure suction after the packaging box 19 is jacked to the detection position, thereby improving the clamping stability and positioning accuracy of the packaging box 19 during the detection process, and avoiding product damage or imaging deviation caused by uneven mechanical clamping force or sliding.

[0062] In the first detection position, when the packaging box 19 is jacked to a predetermined height by the first jacking assembly 11a, the two first rotation assemblies 12a provided on both sides of the Y-axis of the conveying module 10Y move towards each other, and the vacuum nozzles 21 integrated at the front ends thereof respectively contact the outer walls of the packaging box 19 and start the vacuum suction action, forming stable suction. In this state, the first rotation assembly 12a drives the vacuum nozzles 21 to rotate synchronously through the driving mechanism, thereby driving the packaging box 19 to rotate smoothly around the first rotation shaft. Since the vacuum nozzles 21 provide uniform suction force, not only is the shaking or slipping of the packaging box 19 during rotation effectively prevented, but surface indentation or scratches caused by traditional rigid clamps are also avoided, which is particularly suitable for electronic cigarette packaging boxes 19 with fine surface printing and thin material.

[0063] In the second detection position, the second rotating assembly 12b is integrated on the second lifting assembly 11b, and the side facing the packaging box 19 is also provided with a vacuum suction nozzle 21. When the packaging box 19 is lifted to the position by the second lifting assembly 11b along the Z-axis direction, the vacuum suction nozzle 21 is in contact with the bottom surface of the packaging box 19 and is adsorbed and fixed. Subsequently, the second rotating assembly 12b is driven by the control system to rotate around the second rotating shaft, so that the packaging box 19 is rotated around the Z-axis. The vacuum suction nozzle 21 not only effectively prevents the packaging box 19 from being thrown out during rotation, but also avoids the surface indentation or scratch caused by the traditional rigid clamping jaw.

[0064] The rotating assembly with the vacuum suction nozzle 21 structure also has good universality and adaptability, and can be adjusted to adapt to packaging boxes 19 of different materials (such as paperboard and film-coated materials) and size specifications by adjusting the suction force, thereby improving the flexible production capacity of the equipment. At the same time, the vacuum adsorption method responds quickly, and the precise air path control system can realize automatic and rapid adsorption and release, and meet the beat requirements of the high-speed production line.

[0065] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The first lifting assembly 11a for supporting one side of the packaging box 19 is provided with a vacuum suction nozzle 21.

[0066] The first lifting assembly 11a for supporting one side of the packaging box 19 is also provided with a vacuum suction nozzle 21. The first lifting assembly 11a and the vacuum suction nozzle 21 on the rotating assembly cooperate to form a stable support and transmission mechanism with multi-point adsorption and linkage control, which effectively solves the problems of deviation, shaking or falling of the packaging box 19 during conveying, lifting and rotating.

[0067] The first lifting assembly 11a is arranged below the first detection position of the conveying module 10, and its main function is to vertically lift the packaging box 19 from the positioning structure 105 of the conveying module 10 when the packaging box 19 reaches the first detection position, so that the packaging box 19 is separated from the original support surface, and creates a movement space for the subsequent clamping and driving of the two first rotating assemblies 12a to rotate around the first rotating shaft in the Y-axis direction. In the traditional structure, the lifting action only depends on mechanical lifting, which is easy to cause the position deviation of the packaging box 19 due to vibration or air flow interference. However, the vacuum suction nozzle 21 is arranged on the lifting surface or the top edge of the first lifting assembly 11a, so that the negative pressure adsorption is started synchronously during the lifting process, and the lifting assembly is preliminarily fixed when contacting the bottom or side wall of the packaging box 19.

[0068] When the packaging box 19 is transported to the first detection position and accurately positioned, the first lifting assembly 11a rises, and the vacuum suction nozzle 21 on it is in contact with the bottom or lower side of the packaging box 19 and forms a seal, and then the suction generates negative pressure, firmly adsorbing the packaging box 19 on the lifting platform. The reliable grabbing of the packaging box 19 is completed in the lifting stage. At this time, even in the dynamic environment of the high-speed production line, the packaging box 19 can maintain a stable posture to avoid displacement due to inertia or external disturbance. On this basis, the two first rotating assemblies 12a provided on both sides of the Y-axis are moved to the predetermined position, and the vacuum suction nozzles 21 thereof are adsorbed and fixed to the two side surfaces of the packaging box 19, completing the main clamping. Subsequently, the first lifting assembly 11a releases the adsorption force and releases the adsorption and fixation of the packaging box 19, and the first rotating assembly 12a completes the fixation of the packaging box 19 through clamping combined with adsorption.

[0069] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The conveying module 10 includes two linear bodies 103 arranged in opposite intervals and a conveying belt 104 provided on each linear body 103, and the lifting assembly is arranged corresponding to the interval between the two linear bodies 103. The positioning structure 105 includes a plurality of positioning blocks 106 provided on the conveying belt 104, and the positioning blocks 106 on one conveying belt 104 are arranged opposite to the positioning blocks 106 on the other conveying belt 104. The positioning blocks 106 are provided with notch grooves 1061, and the notch grooves 1061 on the positioning blocks 106 collectively form a positioning groove for accommodating the packaging box 19.

[0070] The conveying module 10 adopts a structure design of double linear bodies 103 arranged in parallel. The conveying module 10 includes two linear bodies 103 arranged in opposite intervals, and each linear body 103 is provided with an independently driven conveying belt 104. The two conveying belts 104 operate synchronously and jointly constitute a conveying channel for the packaging box 19. The interval region between the two linear bodies 103 provides sufficient space for the operation of subsequent detection execution mechanisms (such as lifting assemblies, rotating assemblies, etc.), facilitating the layout and movement of the internal structure of the equipment.

[0071] A plurality of positioning blocks 106 are arranged on the surface of each conveyor belt 104 at intervals along the conveying direction, and move synchronously with the conveyor belt 104, for position constraint and posture guidance of the packaging box 19 during conveying. The positioning blocks 106 on one side conveyor belt 104 are oppositely arranged with the positioning blocks 106 on the other side conveyor belt 104 in the Y-axis direction, and the inner end of each positioning block 106 is provided with a notched groove 1061. The notched grooves 1061 on the same side are spatially aligned with each other and jointly enclose a positioning groove with a cross section adapted to the shape of the packaging box 19. The size and shape of the positioning groove match the bottom profile of the packaging box 19 to be inspected, and can stably hold the packaging box 19 therein, preventing it from moving forward and backward, shifting left and right, or toppling over during conveying. This not only improves the stability of the packaging box 19 in the high-speed conveying state, but also ensures that the packaging box 19 enters the detection position with a uniform posture and position. The material of the positioning block 106 can be selected from anti-static iron fluorine dragon, and the positioning block 106 is reused as a carrier, without the need for additional carriers on the conveying module 10.

[0072] The jacking assembly is correspondingly arranged at the interval between the two wires 103, and the movable part (such as a jack or a top plate) can extend upward from the gap. When the packaging box 19 runs to the detection position with the conveyor belt 104 and is accurately positioned by the positioning groove, the jacking assembly is started to move upward from the gap between the two conveyor belts 104, pass through the interval area and jack up the packaging box 19 from the positioning groove, so that it is separated from the support of the conveyor belt 104 and the positioning block 106, and provides convenience for the first rotating assembly 12a or the second rotating assembly 12b to implement clamping and multi-degree-of-freedom rotation.

[0073] In an embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The conveying module 10 has a feeding end 101 and a discharging end 102 in the X-axis direction, and the electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment further comprises a first buffer module 14a arranged near the discharging end 102, which is used to buffer the packaging boxes 19 that fail in appearance detection.

[0074] The conveying module 10 extends along the X-axis direction, one end of which is the feeding end 101 for receiving the packaging boxes 19 to be inspected from the previous process, and the other end is the discharging end 102 for outputting the packaging boxes 19 that have completed appearance detection to the subsequent process. Near the discharging end 102, the detection equipment is also provided with a first buffer module 14a for temporarily storing the packaging boxes 19 that are determined by the vision system to fail in appearance detection.

[0075] When the packaging box 19 sequentially passes through the first detection position and the second detection position and completes the multi-face image acquisition, the control system will analyze the image data in real time based on the preset quality inspection standard to determine whether there is an appearance problem. For the packaging box 19 that passes the detection, the conveying module 10 continues to convey it to the unloading end 102, enters the normal unloading process, and enters the downstream conveying line; and for the abnormal product judged as unqualified or suspected unqualified, the control system issues a sorting instruction, and through the rejection mechanism such as pneumatic push rod, mechanical arm, multi-axis robot or switchable guide rail, it is directed to discharge from the main conveying path and sent to the first buffer module 14a near the unloading end 102.

[0076] The first buffer module 14a is usually designed as a tray or track structure with multiple buffer stations, which can orderly accommodate multiple abnormal products, avoid mixing with qualified products, and ensure the accuracy of product quality traceability. At the same time, the setting of the buffer function makes the operator not need to monitor the detection results of each packaging box 19 in real time, and can centrally process abnormal products within a certain period for re-inspection, repair or disposal, thereby improving the overall operation continuity and man-machine cooperation efficiency of the production line. By setting the first buffer module 14a near the unloading end 102 of the conveying module 10, the detection of unqualified packaging boxes 19 is effectively isolated and managed, which not only improves the automation degree and quality control ability of the electronic cigarette automatic packaging line, but also enhances the fault tolerance and maintainability of the system.

[0077] In an embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment further includes a weighing module 15 and a plurality of second buffer modules 14b arranged near the feeding end 101, the weighing module 15, the first buffer module 14a and the second buffer module 14b are located on the same side of the conveying module 10, the weighing module 15 is used for weighing the packaging box 19, and the second buffer module 14b is used for buffering the packaging box 19 that fails to pass the weighing.

[0078] A weighing module 15 is arranged near the feeding end 101 of the conveying module 10, for measuring the overall weight of the packaging box 19 in real time before it enters the appearance visual inspection process. The weighing module 15 usually adopts a high-precision weighing sensor or an electronic scale device, which is integrated in the conveying line or arranged as a separate station, can quickly obtain the mass data of the packaging box 19, and transmit the result to the control system for judgment. Through weighing detection, quality problems caused by overloading, underloading, etc. can be effectively identified, the blind area of pure visual inspection in internal missing parts is made up, and the qualified rate of products leaving the factory is improved. The detection equipment is also provided with a plurality of second buffer modules 14b for temporarily storing the packaging boxes 19 judged as unqualified in weight by the weighing module 15. When the packaging box 19 is detected to have a weight exceeding the preset upper and lower limit range at the weighing station, the control system immediately triggers the sorting mechanism to remove the unqualified product from the main conveying path and send it to the specified second buffer module 14b for temporary storage.

[0079] It is worth mentioning that the weighing module 15, the first buffer module 14a and the plurality of second buffer modules 14b are arranged on the same side of the conveying module 10, realizing the centralized layout of the detection and sorting functions in space, facilitating the unified wiring of air circuits, circuits and control signals, and reducing the system complexity. Moreover, all abnormal product processing units are concentrated on one side, which is conducive to the operation personnel to complete the unified viewing, sampling and processing of the weighing unqualified and appearance unqualified products in the same operation area, and improves the human-machine interaction efficiency.

[0080] In an embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 3 The electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment further includes a third buffer module 14c, the third buffer module 14c is arranged downstream of the weighing module 15 and is located on the same side of the conveying module 10 as the third buffer module 14c, and the third buffer module 14c is used for buffering the packaging boxes 19 to be sampled and inspected.

[0081] The third buffer module 14c is arranged downstream of the weighing module 15, i.e. on the conveying path before the packaging box 19 enters the appearance visual inspection station after completing the weighing detection, to ensure that the pre-flow and orderly temporary storage of the sampling samples are completed before entering the core detection area. The third buffer module 14c is arranged on the same side of the weighing module 15 and the second buffer module 14b on one side of the conveying module 10, forming a function-concentrated and layout-compact quality management area, facilitating the unified coordination of equipment wiring, pneumatic execution and manual operation.

[0082] The main function of the third buffer module 14c is to buffer the packaging boxes 19 to be inspected, that is, the sampling samples selected by the system according to the preset rules (such as timed sampling, fixed number sampling, first piece inspection, model change verification, etc.) but not yet completed by manual or automatic re-inspection. These packaging boxes 19 have completed the initial screening and weight qualification, but still need to be checked by quality inspection personnel in the subsequent process OQA (Outgoing Quality Assurance) or SI (Special / Statistical Inspection) and other special checks. If such sampling samples directly stay on the main conveying line for processing, it will cause the production line to be interrupted or cause backlog; and if they are removed in advance but stored in disorder, it is easy to cause sample confusion, missed inspection or difficulty in tracing.

[0083] The third buffer module 14c serves as a transit station for samples to be inspected, and through the sorting mechanism, the selected sampling packaging boxes 19 are smoothly removed from the main conveying path and temporarily stored in this area, avoiding interference with normal production flow. Its position is located downstream of the weighing module 15, which not only ensures the integrity of the weighing data, but also provides a time window for subsequent visual inspection before sampling intervention, realizing a reasonable process sequence of initial screening, then shunting, and then waiting for inspection.

[0084] Further, the third buffer module 14c includes two functional sub-units, namely an OQA sampling buffer module and an SI sampling buffer module. The OQA sampling buffer module is used to store packaging boxes 19 that are about to be subjected to outgoing quality sampling, supporting standardized sampling management according to batch, shift or customer requirements to ensure that the products meet the quality standards; the SI sampling buffer module is used to temporarily store samples that need to perform special inspection tasks, such as new process verification, customer-oriented inspection, abnormal recurrence test, etc., to meet the customized quality control requirements.

[0085] The two sub-modules can be independently set or integrated in the same buffer structure, and are distinguished by physical separation or identification to ensure that different types of sampling tasks do not interfere with each other. The control system can monitor the state of each buffer unit in real time, record the buffer quantity and residence time, and support state updating and process closed loop after manual sampling. The setting of the third buffer module 14c realizes the standardized and visualized management of the packaging boxes 19 in the state to be sampled, filling the gap between automatic detection and manual re-inspection.

[0086] In an embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 3 The electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment further includes a fourth buffer module 14d, which is located between the downstream of the weighing module 15 and the upstream of the lifting assembly, and is located on the side of the conveying module 10 away from the first buffer module 14a. The fourth buffer module 14d is used to buffer the sampling completed packaging boxes 19.

[0087] The fourth buffer module is arranged between the feeding end 101 and the discharging end 102 of the conveying module 10 and is located on the side of the conveying module 10 away from the first buffer module 14a (i.e., the side opposite to the side where the weighing module 15, the first buffer module 14a and the second buffer module 14b are located), so as to effectively utilize the space on both sides of the conveying module 10 in the Y-axis direction, realize the rationalization of functional division and the convenience of human-machine operation.

[0088] The main function of the fourth buffer module 14d is to buffer the packaging boxes 19 that have completed the sampling inspection process. In actual production, part of the packaging boxes 19 need to be marked as sampling objects by the system or the operator during the detection process, for example, for OQA (outgoing quality assurance) review, process stability verification or customer sample sending and other purposes. After these sampling samples complete the automatic detection process of weighing, they do not continue to move downstream, but need to be paused in the production line, waiting for manual intervention for further inspection, recording or sampling analysis. If they are directly left on the main conveying line, it will cause the production line to be interrupted or blocked; if they are removed in advance, they may be confused with other unqualified products, affecting traceability management.

[0089] The fourth buffer module 14d receives the packaging boxes 19 that have completed sampling. The packaging boxes 19 on the third buffer module 14c have completed the weighing detection, but have not undergone the appearance detection, so the packaging boxes 19 on the fourth buffer module 14d do not need to repeat the weighing detection, but need to undergo the appearance detection. By arranging the fourth buffer module 14d at the intermediate area between the downstream of the weighing module 15 and the upstream of the jacking assembly, the appearance detection of the packaging boxes 19 that have completed sampling is realized. At the same time, since the fourth buffer module 14d is arranged on the side of the conveying module 10 away from the first buffer module 14a, it is spatially isolated from other buffer areas, effectively preventing the mixing of sampling completed products and various unqualified products, and ensuring the independence and traceability of the samples.

[0090] The fourth buffer module 14d can be designed as a multi-station tray type or a track type structure, supporting the storage of multiple sampling samples by batch, time or detection type, and can realize state monitoring and information binding through sensor or RFID technology. The quality inspection personnel can collect the samples in the buffer area at a specified time for manual review or laboratory detection, and feed back the results to the production system after completion, realizing closed-loop quality management.

[0091] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 10The conveying module 10 has a feeding end 101 and a discharging end 102 in the X-axis direction, and the conveying module 10 has an uncovering position at the discharging end 102. The electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment further comprises an uncovering module 16 arranged at the discharging end 102. The uncovering module 16 comprises a first clamping jaw 161, a third rotating assembly 162, and a mounting plate 163 connected with the third rotating assembly 162. The mounting plate 163 is provided with a plurality of vacuum suction cups 164. The first clamping jaw 161 is used for clamping the packaging box 19 located at the uncovering position. The third rotating assembly 162 can move along the Z-axis direction and drive the mounting plate 163 to rotate, so as to open the cover 192 of the packaging box 19.

[0092] The conveying module 10 has an uncovering position at the discharging end 102. When the packaging box 19 is conveyed to the uncovering position by the conveying module 10, an automatic uncovering operation will be performed to take out the label inside the packaging box 19, so as to facilitate the subsequent labeling operation. The electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment further comprises an uncovering module 16 arranged at the discharging end 102. The uncovering module 16 comprises a first clamping jaw 161, a third rotating assembly 162, and a mounting plate 163 connected with the third rotating assembly 162. The first clamping jaw 161 is arranged between the two line bodies 103 corresponding to the uncovering position, and can clamp the box body 191 of the packaging box 19 after the packaging box 19 reaches the uncovering position, thereby providing stable fixing support and preventing the packaging box 19 from being displaced or damaged due to uneven force during the uncovering process, and ensuring the accuracy and safety of the operation.

[0093] The third rotating assembly 162 is installed on a liftable support structure and can move up and down along the Z-axis direction to adjust the relative position between the third rotating assembly 162 and the cover 192 of the packaging box 19. The third rotating assembly 162 is connected with the mounting plate 163, and the mounting plate 163 is provided with a plurality of vacuum suction cups 164. The vacuum suction cups 164 can accurately align with the surface area of the cover 192 of the packaging box 19. When the third rotating assembly 162 is lowered to a working position, the vacuum suction cups 164 contact the cover 192 and start negative pressure adsorption to firmly grasp the cover 192. The third rotating assembly 162 moves upward to separate the box body 191 from the cover 192. Subsequently, the third rotating assembly 162 drives the mounting plate 163 to rotate around a specified axis, thereby driving the cover 192 adsorbed on the vacuum suction cups 164 to rotate synchronously, so as to smoothly open the cover 192. Through the design of the uncovering module 16, not only the label taking operation is realized, but also the integrated quality control process of appearance detection first and internal verification later in the automatic production line is realized, thereby further improving the detection comprehensiveness and product qualification rate.

[0094] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 and Figure 12, the electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment further comprises a carrier conveying module 17 and a discharging module 18 arranged close to the discharging end 102; the carrier conveying module 17 is capable of moving along the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction to convey the carrier 20 to the conveying line downstream; the carrier 20 is provided with a first discharging position for placing the packaging box 19 and a second discharging position for placing the label; the discharging module 18 comprises a second clamping jaw 181 for clamping the packaging box 19 and a label suction head 182 for sucking the label in the packaging box 19; the discharging module 18 is capable of placing the packaging box 19 at the uncapping position to the first discharging position of the carrier 20 on the conveying line and placing the label to the second discharging position of the carrier 20 on the conveying line.

[0095] The detection equipment is provided with the carrier conveying module 17 close to the discharging end 102; the carrier conveying module 17 is capable of moving along the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, usually realized by a linear motor, a servo module or a mechanical arm structure; the function thereof is to grasp and accurately convey the empty carrier 20 or the recycled carrier 20 from the material waiting area or the buffer position to the conveying line downstream. The carrier 20 is a customized tray or a partitioned container, which is provided with two functional partitions, i.e. the first discharging position for placing the packaging box 19 after detection and the second discharging position for storing the label taken out from the packaging box 19, facilitating the labeling operation on the packaging box 19 in the downstream process.

[0096] The detection equipment is further provided with the discharging module 18 integrated downstream of the uncapping position, which comprises the second clamping jaw 181 and the label suction head 182. When the packaging box 19 is opened by the uncapping module 16 and positioned at the uncapping position, the discharging module 18 starts the operation process; the label suction head 182 (usually a small vacuum suction cup 164 or a suction nozzle array) extends into the opened box body 191 to suck the label by negative pressure to take out the label from the packaging box 19; after the first clamping jaw 161 re-covers the box cover 192, the second clamping jaw 181 clamps the packaging box 19 to maintain the stable posture. Subsequently, the discharging module 18 executes the step-by-step discharging action under the instruction of the control system, i.e. the packaging box 19 is first smoothly transferred and placed to the first discharging position of the carrier 20 on the conveying line downstream by the second clamping jaw 181; then the sucked label is transferred and accurately placed to the second discharging position of the same carrier 20 by the label suction head 182. The process ensures that the spatial correspondence between the packaging box 19 and the label is maintained, supporting the traceable management of one box and one label.

[0097] The working process of the electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment of the present application is as follows:

[0098] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The packaging box 19 is sent to the detection equipment by the previous process, and the packaging box 19 first enters the weighing module 15 to perform weight detection to determine whether there are internal defects such as overloading, missing accessories, etc. If the weighing is unqualified (weighing NG), the system control sorting mechanism will reject the packaging box 19 to the second buffer module 14b on the same side to realize early defect isolation. If the weighing is qualified, it will continue to be transported downstream. Downstream of the weighing module 15, the system determines whether the current packaging box 19 needs to be sampled according to the preset rules (such as timing, fixed number, first piece inspection, etc.). If sampling is required, it will be diverted to the third buffer module 14c through the sorting mechanism. The third buffer module 14c includes an OQA sampling buffer module for temporarily storing outgoing quality assurance sampling samples and an SI sampling buffer module for temporarily storing special or statistical inspection samples. Such packaging boxes 19 wait for manual sampling re-inspection in the third buffer module 14c, which does not affect the main line operation. For the manual re-inspection samples that have completed OQA or SI sampling, if they need to be returned to the process or concentrated for processing, they can be sent to the fourth buffer module 14d on the other side of the conveying module 10 to re-enter the conveying module 10 for subsequent appearance detection.

[0099] The packaging box 19 that is weighed and does not need to be sampled immediately continues to be transported to the detection position. The conveying module 10 adopts a double-line body 103 structure, and the positioning blocks 106 on the conveying belts 104 on both sides form positioning slots through the relatively arranged notch grooves 1061, realizing accurate positioning and stable conveying of the packaging box 19. After the packaging box 19 reaches the detection position, the jacking assembly rises from the gap between the two line bodies 103 to lift the packaging box 19 away from the positioning structure 105, providing space for rotation detection.

[0100] The first detection device 13a and the second detection device 13b work cooperatively to realize multi-surface imaging through the rotation assembly. The first rotation assembly 12a clamps the front and rear sides of the packaging box 19 and drives it to rotate around the first rotation shaft, and the first detection device 13a above captures the top, bottom, left and right sides of the packaging box 19; the second rotation assembly 12b drives the packaging box 19 to rotate around the second rotation shaft, facilitating the second detection device 13b on the side to capture the front and rear sides that are not captured by the first detection device 13a.

[0101] The appearance detection unqualified packaging box 19 is conveyed to the vicinity of the discharging end 102, rejected by the sorting mechanism to the first buffer module 14a, realizes the physical isolation with the qualified product, and facilitates the subsequent processing. The appearance qualified packaging box 19 continues to be conveyed to the uncovering position of the discharging end 102. The uncovering module 16 starts, the first clamping jaw 161 clamps the box body 191 of the packaging box 19; the third rotating assembly 162 drives the mounting plate 163 to descend, and the vacuum suction cup 164 on the mounting plate 163 adsorbs the box cover 192; the third rotating assembly 162 drives the mounting plate 163 to ascend, so that the box cover 192 is separated from the box body 191; the third rotating assembly 162 drives the mounting plate 163 to rotate, and stably opens the box cover 192.

[0102] The label suction head 182 extends into the box to suck the label, and after the first clamping jaw 161 re-covers the box cover 192, the second clamping jaw 181 clamps the packaging box 19. At the same time, the carrier conveying module 17 moves the empty carrier 20 from the standby area along the X-axis and Z-axis directions, and conveys to the downstream conveying line. The second clamping jaw 181 places the packaging box 19 on the first material placing position of the carrier 20, and the label suction head 182 places the label on the second material placing position of the carrier 20, so as to realize the partition storage and one-to-one correspondence of the product and the label, and facilitate the one-to-one corresponding labeling operation of the packaging box 19 in the downstream process.

[0103] The application further provides an electronic cigarette automatic packaging line, which comprises the electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment. The specific structure of the electronic cigarette packaging box detection equipment is referred to the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the electronic cigarette automatic packaging line adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
