[0032] S1. If a quality problem occurs in the carton sealing machine or the cigarette rolling machine, the QR code information of the cigarettes with quality problems shall be determined based on the production period in which the quality problem occurred.

[0033] S2. Based on the QR code information of the cigarettes with quality problems, and according to the configuration correspondence of the cigarette packing machine, carton sealing machine, and cigarette stacking channel, trace the location of the pallet containing the cigarettes with quality problems in the cigarette stack temporary storage shelf in the cigarette stack temporary storage warehouse; wherein, according to the configuration correspondence of the cigarette packing machine, carton sealing machine, and cigarette stacking channel, the configuration correspondence is as follows: Carton sealing machine No. 1 is configured to seal all cigarettes produced by all packing machines in the upper half of area A with a single roll.

[0034] S3. Based on the location of the pallet containing the cigarettes with quality problems, the smart warehouse control system first controls the stacking / removal robot between the cigarette stack temporary storage racks 31 to move to the cigarette stack storage room in the cigarette stack temporary storage rack corresponding to the cigarettes with quality problems. Then, the smart warehouse control system controls the cigarette stack output device in the cigarette stack storage room to transport the pallet containing the cigarette stacks corresponding to the cigarettes with quality problems to the roller conveyor in the stacking / removal robot between the cigarette stack temporary storage racks. Then, the smart warehouse control system controls the stacking / removal robot corresponding to the cigarettes with quality problems to move to the discharge end of the cigarette stack placement conveyor. Then, the smart warehouse control system controls the roller conveyor in the stacking / removal robot to transport the pallet containing the cigarette stacks corresponding to the cigarettes with quality problems to the cigarette stack placement conveyor. Finally, the control system controls the cigarette stack placement conveyor to transport the pallet containing the cigarette stacks corresponding to the cigarettes with quality problems to the feeding end of the cigarette stack placement conveyor.

[0035] S4. After the pallet corresponding to the cigarette with quality problems and stacked with cigarette stacks is transported to the feeding end of the cigarette stack placement conveyor, first control the ACV trolley to move the feeding end of the cigarette stack placement conveyor and take out the pallet with the cigarette with quality problems and stacked with cigarette stacks. Then control the AGV trolley to transport the pallet corresponding to the cigarette with quality problems and stacked with cigarette stacks to any one of the following locations: the cigarette stacking robot corresponding to cigarette stacking channel 1, the cigarette stacking robot corresponding to cigarette stacking channel 2, the cigarette stacking robot corresponding to cigarette stacking channel 3, or the cigarette stacking robot corresponding to cigarette stacking channel 4.

[0036] S5. After the AGV trolley transports the pallet containing the defective cigarettes and stacked cigarette piles to the cigarette stacking robot corresponding to either cigarette stacking channel 1, cigarette stacking channel 2, cigarette stacking channel 3, or cigarette stacking channel 4, control the cigarette stacking robot corresponding to cigarette stacking channel 1, cigarette stacking channel 2, or cigarette stacking channel 4. Any one of the cigarette stacking robots corresponding to cigarette stacking channel No. 3 or cigarette stacking channel No. 4, will unstack the cigarette stack on the pallet corresponding to the cigarette with quality problems and place it on the feeding end of the cigarette stack unstacking conveyor line of cigarette stacking channel No. 1, cigarette stacking channel No. 2, cigarette stacking channel No. 3, or cigarette stacking channel No. 4.

[0037] S6. After the cigarette stacks on the trays corresponding to the cigarettes with quality problems are unstacked and placed on the loading end of the unstacking conveyor line of cigarette stacking channel 1, or the loading end of the unstacking conveyor line of cigarette stacking channel 2, or the loading end of the unstacking conveyor line of cigarette stacking channel 3, or the loading end of the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 4, first control any one of the unstacking conveyor lines of cigarette stacking channel 1, 2, 3, or 4 to transport the unstacked cigarettes with quality problems and in an upright position to the loading end of the unstacking conveyor line of cigarette stacking channel 1 for cigarette posture flipping. The cigarette packs with quality problems and in a standing position are flipped to a flat position by any one of the following three locations on the feeding end of the cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line in the No. 1 or No. 2 cigarette pack stacking channel, or any one of the following three locations on the feeding end of the cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line in the No. 3 or No. 4 cigarette pack stacking channel: 1 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 2 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 3 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, or 4 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line ... 4 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 5 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 6 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 7 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 8 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 9 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10 cigarette pack unstacking conveyor line, 10

[0038] S7. After the cigarette pack with quality problems and lying flat returns to the belt conveyor segment in the cigarette pack circular conveyor line, the belt conveyor segment in the cigarette pack circular conveyor line is controlled to transport the cigarette pack with quality problems to the carton sealing machine brand identifier / problem cigarette pack identifier configured on the belt conveyor segment. The carton sealing machine brand identifier / problem cigarette pack identifier then scans and detects the cigarette pack that has passed through and has quality problems.

[0039] S8. If the brand identifier / problem cigarette identifier of the carton sealing machine detects a carton of cigarettes produced by the packing or sealing machine with a quality problem, the brand identifier / problem cigarette identifier of the carton sealing machine, through controller one, assigns any one of the following cigarette stacking channels—1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8—as a dedicated stacking channel for the cigarettes with quality problems. Simultaneously, it sends the information about the problematic cigarettes identified by the brand identifier / problem cigarette identifier to controller one. Controller one then assigns the problematic cigarettes from the belt conveyor segment connected to the designated conveyor segment as... The system controls the stacking time of cigarettes with quality problems in the stacking channel. It controls the conveyor in the sub-channel to push the cigarettes with quality problems to the designated stacking channel for re-stacking. After the cigarettes with quality problems are re-stacking into a stack by the stacking robot corresponding to the stacking channel, another ACV (Automatic Vehicle) is controlled to travel to the stack corresponding to the stacking channel, retrieve the stack with quality problems, and transport it to the stack quality inspection conveyor line. Then, the stack quality inspection conveyor line transports the stack with quality problems to the quality inspection department for quality inspection of each cigarette in the stack, thus completing the traceability of the cigarettes with quality problems.

[0040] S9. If the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette pack identifier does not detect a quality problem with the cigarette pack, the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette pack identifier will identify the packing machine brand number and the corresponding cigarette pack stacking channel for the non-problem cigarette pack. If the non-problem cigarette pack is identified as belonging to a different stacking channel than the one previously assigned to stack the problematic cigarette pack, the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette pack identifier will send the identified information to Controller 1. Controller 1 will then automatically pack and seal the non-problem cigarette pack. The time it takes for the belt conveyor segment at the brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier to move to another cigarette stacking channel (other than the one assigned to stack cigarettes with quality problems) that is connected to the branch conveyor segment and is responsible for stacking cigarettes with quality problems, and the cigarette stacking channel corresponding to the identified box-sealing machine brand number, is controlled. The branch conveyor in the branch conveyor segment pushes cigarettes without quality problems to the cigarette stacking conveyor line one or cigarette stacking conveyor line two in the cigarette stacking channel corresponding to the identified box-sealing machine brand number, and then performs the subsequent process of scanning the cigarette code, flipping the cigarette, stacking the cigarette, and automatically putting the cigarette into the warehouse.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0042] The present invention relates to a cigarette warehousing device and a method for tracing cigarettes with quality problems. When tracing cigarettes with quality problems produced by a cigarette rolling machine or a carton sealing machine, the cigarette warehousing device or the method for tracing cigarettes with quality problems can be used to trace the cigarettes with quality problems. This solves the problem that existing cigarette conveying lines cannot trace cigarettes with quality problems produced by cigarette rolling equipment or carton sealing machines.

The No. 8 cigarette stacking channel 41 is configured to stack the cigarettes sealed by the No. 8 box-sealing machine 49. Based on the location of the pallet containing the defective cigarette pack, the intelligent warehouse control system first moves the cigarette stacking / retrieving robot 95 between the cigarette stack temporary storage shelves 31 to the cigarette stack storage room 32 within the shelf 31 corresponding to the defective cigarette pack. Then, the intelligent warehouse control system controls the cigarette stack output device 33 within this storage room 32 to transport the pallet containing the cigarette stack corresponding to the defective cigarette pack to the roller conveyor 87 within the cigarette stacking / retrieving robot 95. Next, the intelligent warehouse control system moves the cigarette stacking / retrieving robot 95, containing the stacked cigarette stacks, to the discharge end of the cigarette stack placement conveyor 27. Finally, the intelligent warehouse control system controls the roller conveyor 87 within the cigarette stacking / retrieving robot 95 to transport the stacked cigarette stacks corresponding to the defective cigarette pack. The pallet is transported to the cigarette stack placement conveyor 87. Finally, the control system controls the cigarette stack placement conveyor 87 to transport the pallet corresponding to the cigarette with quality problems and the cigarette stack to the feeding end of the cigarette stack placement conveyor 87. After the pallet corresponding to the cigarette with quality problems and the cigarette stack is transported to the feeding end of the cigarette stack placement conveyor 87, the ACV trolley 26 is first controlled to move the feeding end of the cigarette stack placement conveyor 37 and remove the pallet corresponding to the cigarette with quality problems and the cigarette stack. Then, the AGV trolley is controlled to transport the pallet corresponding to the cigarette with quality problems and the cigarette stack to any one of the following locations: cigarette stacking robot 24 corresponding to cigarette stacking channel 34 (number 1), cigarette stacking robot 24 corresponding to cigarette stacking channel 35 (number 2), cigarette stacking robot 24 corresponding to cigarette stacking channel 36 (number 3), or cigarette stacking robot 24 corresponding to cigarette stacking channel 37 (number 4).After the AGV trolley 26 transports the pallet containing the defective cigarettes and stacked cigarette piles to the cigarette stacking robot 24 corresponding to either cigarette stacking channel 1 34, cigarette stacking channel 26, cigarette stacking channel 36, or cigarette stacking channel 4 37, it controls any one of these robots to move the defective cigarettes to the designated location. After the stacks of cigarettes on the corresponding pallets of the cigarettes with quality problems are unstacked, they are placed at any of the following locations: the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 34 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 36 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 36 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 36 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 34 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 36 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 36 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 36 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 37 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 34 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 36 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 36 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 36 (for cigarettes with quality problems), the unstacking conveyor line 17 of cigarette stacking channel 37 (for cigarettes with quality problems). After any one of the loading ends of the destacking conveyor line 17 is connected, control any one of the following: the destacking conveyor line 17 of the No. 1 cigarette stacking channel 34, the destacking conveyor line 17 of the No. 2 cigarette stacking channel 36, the destacking conveyor line 17 of the No. 3 cigarette stacking channel 36, or the destacking conveyor line 17 of the No. 4 cigarette stacking channel 37. Convey the destacking cigarettes that have quality problems and are standing upright to the cigarette posture flipping point 68 at the loading end of the destacking conveyor line 17 of the No. 1 cigarette stacking channel 34, the cigarette posture flipping point 68 at the loading end of the destacking conveyor line 17 of the No. 2 cigarette stacking channel 36, or the loading end of the destacking conveyor line 17 of the No. 3 cigarette stacking channel 36. At any one of the following locations: the cigarette pack posture flipping device 368 in the end or the cigarette pack unpacking conveyor line 17 in the No. 4 cigarette pack stacking channel 37, the cigarette pack with quality problems and standing posture is flipped to a flat position. Then, the cigarette pack with quality problems and lying flat position is conveyed through the cigarette pack unpacking conveyor line 17 and the cigarette pack unpacking guide line 19 to the belt conveyor segment 11 in the cigarette pack ring conveyor line 10.Once the cigarette pack with quality issues and lying flat returns to the belt conveyor segment 11 of the cigarette pack circular conveyor line 10, the belt conveyor segment 11 in the cigarette pack circular conveyor line 10 controls the cigarette pack with quality issues to the carton sealing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette pack identifier 14 configured on the belt conveyor segment 11. The carton sealing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette pack identifier 14 then scans and detects the cigarette pack that has passed through and has quality issues; if the carton sealing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette pack identifier 14 detects... If a packaged or boxed cigarette machine produces a case of cigarettes with quality issues, the boxed cigarette machine's brand identifier / problem case cigarette identifier 14, through a controller, assigns one of the following cigarette stacking channels—either No. 1 (stack channel 34), No. 2 (stack channel 35), No. 3 (stack channel 36), No. 4 (stack channel 37), No. 5 (stack channel 38), No. 6 (stack channel 39), No. 7 (stack channel 40), or No. 8 (stack channel 41)—as a dedicated stacking channel for the cigarettes with quality issues. On the other side, the boxed cigarette machine's brand identifier / problem case cigarette identifier... Cigarette identifier 14 identifies a defective cigarette and sends the information to controller 1. Controller 1 then controls the distribution conveyor 55 in distribution conveyor 12 to push the defective cigarette into the designated stacking channel for re-stacking, based on the time from the cigarette brand identifier / defective cigarette identifier 14 to the distribution conveyor 12. After the defective cigarettes are re-stashed into a stack by the cigarette stacking robot 24 corresponding to the cigarette stacking channel, another ACV trolley is controlled to travel to the cigarette stack corresponding to the cigarette stacking channel responsible for stacking defective cigarettes, remove the defective cigarette stack, and transport it to the cigarette stack quality inspection conveyor line. Then, the cigarette stack quality inspection conveyor line is controlled to transport the defective cigarette stack to the quality inspection department to conduct quality inspection on each cigarette in the cigarette stack, so as to complete the traceability of defective cigarettes.If the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette reader 14 does not detect a quality problem with the cigarette pack, then the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette reader 14 will identify the packing machine brand number and the corresponding cigarette stacking channel for the non-problem cigarette pack. If it is identified that the non-problem cigarette pack belongs to a different stacking channel than the one previously assigned to stack cigarette packs with quality problems, then the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette reader 14 will send the identified information to controller one. Controller one will then determine the quality problem based on the belt conveyor of the non-problem cigarette pack from the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette reader 14. The time it takes for conveyor segment 11 to connect to the branch conveyor segment 12 and be assigned to stack cigarettes with quality problems in other cigarette stacking channels, and to the cigarette stacking channel corresponding to the identified carton sealing machine brand, is controlled. The branch conveyor 55 in branch conveyor segment 12 pushes cigarettes without quality problems into the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 or cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 corresponding to the identified carton sealing machine brand. This process sequentially performs cigarette scanning, cigarette flipping, cigarette stacking, and automatic cigarette storage. That is, the cigarettes enter the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 or cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 and do not... For cigarettes with quality issues, the QR code on the cigarettes without quality issues is scanned by the cigarette association barcode scanner 18 located in cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 or the cigarette association barcode scanner 23 located in cigarette stacking conveyor line 21. The scanned information is transmitted to the industrial control computer, which then associates the information with the RFID barcode scanned on the corresponding pallet of the cigarette stacking conveyor and transmits it to the smart warehouse control system for storage. Next, the cigarettes without quality issues, after being scanned by the cigarette association barcode scanner 1 on cigarette stacking conveyor line 16, pass through the cigarette attitude flipping device 5 downstream of the cigarette association barcode scanner 18. 8. Flip the cigarettes that have no quality problems and are lying flat in the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 to an upright position, or flip the cigarettes that have no quality problems after being scanned by the cigarette association barcode scanner 23 on the cigarette stacking conveyor line 21, and then flip the cigarettes that have no quality problems and are lying flat in the cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 to an upright position. The cigarettes that have no quality problems and are in an upright position are then conveyed to the discharge end of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16, or the cigarettes that have no quality problems and are in an upright position are then conveyed to the discharge end of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 21.At this point, firstly, control the cigarette stacking robot 24 connected to the discharge end of cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 or control the cigarette stacking robot 25 connected to the discharge end of cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 to pick up and stack cigarettes that are standing upright and without quality problems at the discharge end of cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 onto the pallet corresponding to the corresponding cigarette stacking channel, or pick up and stack cigarettes that are standing upright and without quality problems at the discharge end of cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 onto the pallet corresponding to the corresponding cigarette stacking channel. Then, control the AGV trolley 26 to transfer the pallet with cigarette stacks corresponding to the cigarette stacks without quality problems to the cigarette stack placement conveyor 27 and place it on the cigarette stack placement conveyor 27. The cigarette stack placement conveyor 27 then delivers the pallet with cigarette stacks corresponding to the cigarette stacks without quality problems to the discharge end of the cigarette stack placement conveyor 27. The stack pusher 29 pushes the pallet containing the stacks of tobacco without quality issues to the roller conveyor 87 on the stack placement frame 86 of the stack stack stacking / removing robot 95. The stack stack stacking / removing robot 95 then travels along the area between adjacent stack storage shelves 31 in the stack storage warehouse 30 to the stack storage room 32 on the designated stack storage shelf 31. The roller conveyor 87 on the stack placement frame 86 of the stack stack stacking / removing robot 95 then transports the pallet containing the stacks of tobacco without quality issues to the stack output device 33 in the stack storage room 32 on the designated stack storage shelf 30 for temporary storage. This solves the problem that existing tobacco conveying lines cannot trace the tobacco products with quality problems produced by packaging equipment or carton sealing machines. It should be noted that if the carton sealing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 does not detect any quality problems with the cigarettes, the carton sealing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 will identify the carton sealing machine brand number and the corresponding cigarette stacking channel for the cigarettes without quality problems. If the carton sealing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 identifies the cigarettes without quality problems as belonging to the cigarette stacking channel previously assigned to stack cigarettes with quality problems, the carton sealing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 will send the identified information to controller 1. Controller 1 will then control the alarm to remind the staff to control the robotic arm clamp (the robotic arm clamp is configured near the carton sealing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14, and the robotic arm clamp includes a support base, a robotic arm, and a suction cup).The support base is located on the ground near the brand identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 of the box-packing machine. A robotic arm is fixed to the top of the support base, and the robotic arm's execution end is connected to a suction cup. Cigarettes without quality problems, corresponding to the cigarette stacking channel assigned to stack cigarettes with quality problems, are taken from the belt conveyor segment 10 of the circular conveyor line 10. After being taken out, the cigarettes without quality problems are manually stacked, and then transported by AGV carts to a temporary storage warehouse for temporary storage. It should be noted that the cigarette lifting conveyor line 7 includes a chain elevator, a roller conveyor, and a cigarette transition conveyor line one. The feed end of the chain elevator is connected to the discharge end of the box-packing machine 6. A roller conveyor is installed on the lifting end of the chain elevator. The discharge end of the chain elevator is connected to the cigarette transition conveyor line one, and the discharge end of the cigarette transition conveyor line one is connected to the feed ends of the first and second cigarette conveyor lines, respectively.

[0073] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 8A stain-detecting QR code detector 92, used to detect whether the QR code on a cigarette pack is stained, is respectively mounted on the first condition cigarette conveyor line 8 and the second condition cigarette conveyor line 9. The conveying areas of the first condition cigarette conveyor line 8 and the second condition cigarette conveyor line 9 pass through the detection area of ​​the stain-detecting QR code detector 92. Each cigarette pack rejection component 13 is respectively set on the first condition cigarette conveyor line 8 and the second condition cigarette conveyor line 9. The rejection end of each cigarette pack rejection component 13 is connected to the rejection port on the first condition cigarette conveyor line 8 and the second condition cigarette conveyor line 9. The rejection port 2 on the smoke conveyor line 9 is connected, the rejection port 1 on the first conditional smoke conveyor line 8 is connected to the first rejection conveyor line 50, and the rejection port 2 on the second conditional smoke conveyor line 9 is connected to the second rejection conveyor line 51. When a stained cigarette item passes through the first conditional smoke conveyor line 8 and the second conditional smoke conveyor line 9 and is detected by the stain QR code detector 92, the stain QR code detector 92 can control the rejection of the stained cigarette item with the stain QR code in the first conditional smoke conveyor line 8 and the second conditional smoke conveyor line 9 through the controller 2. Among them, the cigarette item rejection component 13 includes a first cylinder and a first rejection plate. The stain QR code detector 92 can be electrically connected to each cylinder through the controller 2. The fixed end of each first cylinder is connected to the side wall of the first conditional smoke conveyor line 8 and the second conditional smoke conveyor line 9, respectively. The driving end of each first cylinder is connected to each first rejection plate. The pushing end of each first rejection plate is connected to the rejection port 1 on the first conditional smoke conveyor line 8 and the rejection port 2 on the second conditional smoke conveyor line 9, respectively. It should be noted that the stain QR code detector 92 is existing technology and has not been improved or designed, so its structure will not be described in detail. The stain QR code detector 92 can be an industrial smart camera. The industrial smart camera is connected to the controller 2. The controller 2 has built-in image recognition software to identify whether the QR code has stains. The controller 2 is connected to the smoke removal component 13. That is, when the image recognition software in the controller 2 identifies a smoke item with a stained QR code, the controller 2 controls the smoke removal component 13 to remove the smoke item with the stained QR code.

[0074] Please see Figure 13 , Figure 11 and Figure 12The packing machine brand identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14, used to identify the packing box brand or the quality problem cigarette corresponding to the machine with quality problems, includes a first gantry 52, a first barcode scanner 53, and a second barcode scanner 54. The first gantry 52 is installed in the belt conveyor section 11 area of ​​the cigarette ring conveyor line 10. The conveying area of ​​the cigarette ring conveyor line 10 passes through the first gantry 52. ​​The first barcode scanner 53 is connected to the top of the first gantry 52. ​​The second barcode scanner 54 is connected to the four corners of the first gantry 52. ​​The second barcode scanner 54 and the first barcode scanner 53 are electrically connected to multiple sequentially connected sub-channel conveyors 55 in the belt conveyor section 11 of the cigarette ring conveyor line 10 through a controller. In practical application, by setting up a first barcode scanner 53 and a second barcode scanner 54, when a carton of cigarettes passes by the first barcode scanner 53 and the second barcode scanner 54, the first barcode scanner 53 and the second barcode scanner 54 will scan the QR code on the passing carton of cigarettes. The scanned information is then transmitted back to the controller for processing, and then the distribution conveyor 55 is controlled to perform the corresponding pushing action to push the carton of cigarettes sealed by the corresponding brand of carton sealing machine into the corresponding carton stacking channel for the subsequent carton stacking process; it should be noted that At least two first barcode scanners 53 are connected to the top of the first gantry 52, and a total of four second barcode scanners 54 are provided. By placing the first barcode scanners 53 at the top of the first gantry 52 and the second barcode scanners 54 at the four corners of the first gantry 52, the second barcode scanners 54, in conjunction with the first barcode scanners 53, can scan the QR code on the cigarette box regardless of whether the QR code is located on the side or top. This avoids the situation where the QR code cannot be scanned if it is only located on the top or side of the cigarette box. The first barcode scanners 53, second barcode scanners 54, and the channel conveyors are existing technology and have not been improved or designed; therefore, their structure will not be described in detail. Each channel conveyor corresponds to each cigarette box stacking channel.

[0075] Please see Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 11The two cigarette association scanners, namely, the first cigarette association scanner 18 and the second cigarette association scanner 23, are of the same structure and are used to associate the cigarettes stacked in the corresponding cigarette stacking channel with the RFID on the corresponding tray. The cigarette association scanner includes a second gantry 56 and a third scanner 57. The second gantry 56 is respectively mounted on the first cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 and the second cigarette stacking conveyor line 21. The conveying area of ​​the first cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 and the second cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 passes through each second gantry 56. The top of each second gantry 56 is provided with a third scanner 57. Each third scanner 57 is electrically connected to the tray scanner 25 buried on the ground behind each cigarette stacking robot 24 through the industrial control computer. In practical application, the cigarette packs stacked in the corresponding cigarette stacking aisle are associated with the RFID tags on the corresponding pallets. This association information is then transmitted back to the smart warehouse control system via an industrial control computer. The smart warehouse control system can then query the corresponding pallets within the cigarette stack temporary storage rack 31. The pallet scanner 25 and the third scanner 57 are existing technologies of the cigarette factory and have not been improved or redesigned; therefore, their structures are not described in detail.

[0076] Please see Figure 15 , Figure 14 and Figure 11To enable the cigarette stacking robot 24 to better pick up cigarettes, a cigarette attitude flipping component 58 is rotatably installed in the conveying area of ​​the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 downstream of the cigarette association barcode scanner 18. A cigarette attitude flipping component 59 is rotatably installed in the conveying area of ​​the cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 downstream of the cigarette association barcode scanner 23. The cigarette attitude flipping component 59 and the cigarette attitude flipping component 58 are of the same structure. The cigarette attitude flipping component includes a roller conveyor 60, an L-shaped flipping component 61, and a first servo motor 62. The roller conveyor 60 is located at the cigarette stacking conveyor... Line 16 has a roller blank area 61 in its conveying area and cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 has a roller blank area 61 in its conveying area. Each idler conveyor 60 is connected to the inner wall of cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 and the inner wall of cigarette stacking conveyor line 21. One side wall of each L-shaped flipper 61 is connected to the output shaft of the first servo motor 62 on the inner wall of cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 and the output shaft of the first servo motor 62 on the inner wall of cigarette stacking conveyor line 21. The other side wall of each L-shaped flipper 61 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of each idler conveyor 60 through a rotating shaft. In practical applications, when a cigarette is conveyed by cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 to the cigarette posture flipping component 58 on cigarette stacking conveyor line 16, or when a cigarette is conveyed by cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 to the cigarette posture flipping component 59 on cigarette stacking conveyor line 21, the cigarette posture flipping component 58 on cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 will flip the cigarette from a lying position to a standing position. Then, cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 will convey the standing cigarette to a position close to the cigarette stacking robot 24, so that the cigarette stacking robot 24 can better absorb the standing cigarette. Similarly, cigarette posture flipping component 59 on cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 will flip the cigarette from a lying position to a standing position, so that cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 will convey the standing cigarette to a position close to the cigarette stacking robot 24, so that the cigarette stacking robot 24 can better absorb the standing cigarette. It should be noted that the first servo motor 62 and the idler roller conveyor 60 are existing technologies, and no improvements or designs have been made to them. Therefore, their structures will not be described in detail.

[0077] Please refer to the figure. Figure 15 and Figure 16To ensure that the cigarette stacking robot 24 picks up cigarettes conveyed by cigarette conveyor line 16 or cigarette conveyor line 21 at the same position, the roller conveying area 93 of cigarette stacking conveyor line 16, located downstream of the second gantry 56, and the roller conveying area 94 of cigarette stacking conveyor line 21, located downstream of the second gantry 56, are inclined. An auxiliary conveying roller 63 is connected to the side wall of cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 at the lowest point of the inclined roller conveying area 93. The roller conveying area 94 is inclined at the lowest point of the inclined roller conveying area. Auxiliary conveyor roller 64 is connected to the side wall of the lower cigarette stacking conveyor line 21. Each roller in the auxiliary conveyor roller 63 and the auxiliary conveyor roller 64 is inclined towards the cigarette stacking robot 24. The auxiliary conveyor roller 63 extends to the discharge end of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 and the auxiliary conveyor roller 64 extends to the discharge end of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 21. Limiting baffles 65 are connected to the discharge ends of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 and the cigarette stacking conveyor line 21, respectively. In practical application, when a package of cigarettes is conveyed to the discharge end near the first cigarette conveyor line 16 and the discharge end near the second cigarette conveyor line 21, the roller conveying area 93 of the first cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 and the roller conveying area 94 of the second cigarette stacking conveyor line 21 located downstream of the second gantry 56 are inclined. An auxiliary conveying roller 63 is connected to the side wall of the first cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 at the lowest point of the inclined roller conveying area 93. Therefore, the cigarettes that have traveled to the discharge ends of the first and second cigarette conveyor lines 16 and 21 will slide down to the lowest point of the inclination and be transported along the area of ​​the first and second cigarette conveyor lines 16 and 21 at the lowest point of the inclination. Furthermore, an auxiliary conveying roller 63 is connected to the side wall of the first cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 at the lowest point of the inclined roller conveying area 93. Auxiliary conveying roller 64 is connected to the side wall of the lowest point of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 21, which is inclinedly set at the conveyor roller 63 and the roller conveyor area 294. Auxiliary conveying roller 63 extends to the discharge end of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16, and auxiliary conveying roller 64 extends to the discharge end of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 21. Thus, the auxiliary conveying roller 63 on the cigarette conveyor line 16 will cooperate with the cigarette conveyor 16 to convey the cigarettes to the same position as the cigarette stacking robot 24, or the auxiliary conveying roller 64 on the cigarette conveyor line 21 will cooperate with the cigarette conveyor 21 to convey the cigarettes to the same suction position of the cigarette stacking robot 24, so that the cigarette stacking robot 24 can suction the cigarettes at the same position, indirectly reducing the cumbersome control of the cigarette stacking robot 24. It should be noted that the auxiliary conveying roller 63 and the roller conveyor area 294 are existing technologies and have not been improved or designed; therefore, their structure will not be described in detail.

[0078] Please see Figure 15To achieve the goal of flipping the destacking and upright cigarette packs to a flat position so that they can be transported more smoothly on the cigarette stack destacking conveyor line 17, each cigarette stack destacking conveyor line 17 has an L-shaped conveying section 66 at its loading end. The end of each L-shaped conveying section 66 near the cigarette stacking robot 24 is connected to the side wall of the discharge end of each cigarette stacking conveyor line 17. The roller blank area 67 in the conveying area of ​​the L-shaped conveying section 66 is equipped with a cigarette posture flipping component 68, which includes two conveying rollers. The L-shaped tilting component 70 and the second servo motor 71 are respectively connected to the inner side wall of the L-shaped conveying section 66 by the two conveying roller conveyors 69. The area between the two conveying roller conveyors 69 is defined for the L-shaped tilting component 70 to tilt. One side wall of the L-shaped tilting component 70 is rotatably connected to the side wall of one of the conveying roller conveyors 69 through a connecting shaft. The other side wall of the L-shaped tilting component 70 is connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor 71 on the side wall of the other conveying roller conveyor 69. In practical application, when the unstacking and upright cigarette packs are conveyed to the cigarette posture flipping component 68 of the L-shaped conveyor section 66, the second servo motor 71 in the cigarette posture flipping component 68 drives the L-shaped flipping component 70 to flip at a certain angle, so as to turn the unstacking and upright cigarette packs into a flat position. Then, the flat cigarette packs are guided by the cigarette unstacking conveyor line 17 and the cigarette unstacking guide line 19 to the belt conveyor section 11 of the cigarette ring conveyor line 10. It should be noted that the second servo motor 71 and the conveyor roller 69 are existing technologies, and no improvements or designs have been made to them, so their structures are not described in detail.

[0079] Please see Figure 16To remove cigarettes without QR codes from the separate conveyor line 12 of the cigarette ring conveyor 10, a cigarette warehousing device further includes a QR code presence / absence detector 72 and a second cigarette rejection device 73. Both the QR code presence / absence detector 73 and the second cigarette rejection device 73 are located on a belt conveyor section 1 of the cigarette ring conveyor 10 between one of the cigarette stacking conveyor lines 16 and the second condition cigarette conveyor line 9. The detection end of the QR code presence / absence detector 73 faces the conveying area on the belt conveyor section 1, and the second cigarette rejection device 73 is located downstream of the QR code presence / absence detector 72. The QR code detector 72 is electrically connected to the cigarette rejection unit 73 via the controller 3. The rejection end of the cigarette rejection unit 74 faces the rejection port on the belt conveyor section 1 of the cigarette ring conveyor line 10. The rejection port is connected to the feed end of the non-conforming cigarette rejection conveyor line 75. The discharge end of the non-conforming cigarette rejection conveyor line 75 passes through the bottom of the belt conveyor section 1 of the cigarette ring conveyor line 10 and the bottom of the belt conveyor line section 1 of the cigarette ring conveyor line 10 and extends to the outside of the belt conveyor line section 11 of the cigarette ring conveyor line 10. In practical application, if a cigarette without a QR code passes through the QR code presence / absence detector 73, the QR code presence / absence detector 73 will control the cigarette rejection device 73 via the controller 3 to remove the cigarette without a QR code from the belt conveyor segment 1 of the cigarette ring conveyor line 10 to the unqualified cigarette rejection conveyor line 75. The unqualified cigarette rejection conveyor line 75 will then transport the cigarette without a QR code to the manual labeling area for relabeling and rejection, thus avoiding the situation where cigarettes without QR codes are repeatedly transported in the cigarette ring conveyor. The QR code presence / absence detector 72 is existing technology and has not been improved or designed; therefore, its structure will not be described in detail. The QR code presence / absence detector 72 can be an industrial intelligent camera, which is connected to a controller built into controller three. Controller three has built-in image recognition software to identify the presence or absence of QR codes. Controller three is also connected to the cigarette rejection component two 73. That is, when the image recognition software in controller three identifies a cigarette without a QR code, controller three controls the cigarette rejection component two 74 to reject the cigarette without a QR code. It should be noted that the cigarette rejection component two 73 includes a second... The cylinder and the second rejection plate are included. The second cylinder is electrically connected to the image recognition software via the controller. The fixed end of the second cylinder is connected to the side wall of the first belt conveyor segment of the cigarette ring conveyor line 10. The driving end of the second cylinder is connected to the second rejection plate. The rejection end of the second rejection plate faces the rejection port on the first belt conveyor segment. The first belt conveyor segment is also in the cigarette ring conveyor line 10. That is, the belt conveyor line 11, the branch conveyor segment 12 and the first belt conveyor segment in the cigarette ring conveyor line 10 are connected in sequence. The first belt conveyor segment is located downstream of the branch conveyor segment 12.

[0080] Please see Figure 16 and Figure 17To allow cigarettes that have passed quality inspection to return to the cigarette ring conveyor 10, a cigarette warehousing device further includes a cigarette return conveyor 76. The cigarette return conveyor 76 and the discharge end of the defective cigarette rejection conveyor 75 are located on the same side, and the discharge end of the cigarette return conveyor 76 is connected to the outlet on the cigarette ring conveyor 10. In practical application, when cigarettes with quality problems pass quality inspection, the passed cigarettes can be placed at the feed end of the cigarette return ring conveyor 10. The cigarette return ring conveyor 10 and the defective cigarette rejection conveyor 75 can be roller conveyors.

[0081] Please refer to the figure. Figure 19 The cigarette stacking robot 24, used for stacking cigarette packs, includes a support base 79, a robotic arm 80, a suction cup base 81, and suction cups 82. The support bases 79 are located downstream of the discharge ends of both the first and second cigarette pack stacking conveyor lines 1 and 2, respectively. Pallet scanners 25 are embedded in the ground downstream of each support base 79, with their scanning ends flush with the ground. The fixed end of the robotic arm 80 is connected to the bottom of the support base 79, and the actuating end of the robotic arm 80 is connected to the suction cup base 81. The bottom of the suction cup base 81 has at least one suction cup 82. In practical applications, by setting up the cigarette stacking robot 24, the stacking and unstacking of cigarette packs can be achieved, further improving the practicality of the cigarette stacking robot 24. It should be noted that multiple suction cups 82 can be arranged along the bottom of the suction cup base 81, with multiple suction cups 82 on the same plane. The arrangement of multiple suction cups 22 can be based on the combination of cigarettes stacked in a cigarette stack, and each suction cup 22 can be controlled individually. In this way, the arrangement of multiple suction cups 22 based on the combination of cigarettes stacked in a cigarette stack, and the individual control of each suction cup, can indirectly improve the efficiency of the cigarette stacking robot 24 in dismantling cigarette stacks; that is, multiple suction cups can simultaneously suck up one layer of cigarettes from a cigarette stack, and then each suction cup can be controlled to put down the sucked-up cigarettes in sequence.

[0082] Please see Figure 18The stack placement conveyor 27 used for transporting stacks is a chain conveyor. The chain conveyors are arranged at intervals upstream of the stack temporary storage rack 31. Each chain conveyor corresponds to each stack temporary storage rack 31. The feed end of each chain conveyor has space for the AGV trolley 26 to enter. Each chain conveyor is equipped with a stack pusher 23 at the discharge end. Each stack pusher 23 is used in conjunction with each stack stacking / removing robot 95 between each stack temporary storage rack 31. In practical applications, by setting up a stack placement conveyor 27, stacks of tobacco can be transported to the stack placement conveyor 27 to cooperate with the stack placement / removal robot 95 to subsequently place the stacks of tobacco in the stack storage room 32 of the stack temporary storage shelf 31, and to realize the removal of stacks of tobacco from the stack storage room 32 by the stack placement / removal robot 95 for output, so as to cooperate with the AGV trolley to transport and transfer the output stacks of tobacco that need to be destabilized to the stacking robot 24 for destabilization. It should be noted that some stack pushing components 23 are set on one side wall of the discharge end of the chain conveyor, and others are set on the other side wall of the discharge end of the chain conveyor; the stack pushing component 23 includes a cylinder three and a push plate three; the fixed end of each cylinder three is connected to the two side walls of the discharge end of the chain conveyor, and the driving end of each cylinder three is connected to the outer wall of each push plate three.

[0083] Please see Figure 20 and Figure 21A stacking / removing robot 95 for retrieving and stacking pallets of stacked tobacco stacks includes a first linear slide module 83, a third mast 84, a second linear slide module 85, a tobacco stack placement frame 86, and a roller conveyor 87. Each first linear slide module 83 is located between each tobacco stack temporary storage shelf 31. The bottom of each first linear slide module 83 is fixedly connected to the ground between each tobacco stack temporary storage shelf 31. The movable end of each first linear slide module 83 is connected to a support base plate 90. The top of each support base plate 90 is connected to the bottom of each third mast 84. Each third mast 84 has a support arm 91 with its inner sidewall divided into sections. Each second linear slide module 85 is connected to its side wall, and a stacking frame 86 is connected between the moving ends of each second linear slide module 85. A roller conveyor 87 is installed at the bottom of the stacking frame 86. The stacking frame 86 is a rectangular cavity structure with an open top and two sides. One opening of the stacking frame 86 is used in conjunction with the stacking pusher 29, and the other opening 77 is used in conjunction with a stacking output device 27 installed in each stacking storage compartment 32. It should be noted that the first linear slide module 83 and the second linear slide module 85 are existing technologies and have not been improved or designed; therefore, their structures are not described in detail. In practical applications, by setting up a stacking / removing robot 95 in the area between each stacking temporary storage rack 31, stacks can be placed in the stacking storage compartment 32 of the stacking temporary storage rack 31 or stacks pre-placed in the stacking storage compartment 32 can be removed. To prevent the tobacco stacks from sliding out of the two openings 77 of the tobacco stack placement frame 86, tobacco stack limiting components are also provided at the two openings 77 of the tobacco stack placement frame 86. The tobacco stack limiting components include cylinders and limiting baffles. The fixed end of each cylinder is connected to the side wall of the two openings of the tobacco stack placement frame, and the driving end of each cylinder is connected to the limiting baffles. The limiting baffles are slidably adapted to the two openings of the tobacco stack placement frame. That is, when the tobacco stack enters the tobacco stack placement frame, the cylinder can be driven to lift the limiting baffles, so that the tobacco stack placement frame is a rectangular cavity with an open top, thereby restricting the tobacco stack inside the tobacco stack placement frame. When the tobacco stack exits the tobacco stack placement frame, the cylinder can be driven to lift the limiting baffles, so that the two ends of the tobacco stack placement frame are open, allowing the tobacco stack to come out from the two openings inside the tobacco stack placement frame. It should be noted that the intelligent warehouse control system is electrically connected to the cigarette stacking / retrieving robot 95. Specifically, the intelligent warehouse control system is electrically connected to the motors of the first linear slide module 83 and the second linear slide module 85 within the cigarette stacking / retrieving robot 95. The intelligent warehouse control system serves as the central processing unit of the warehouse. (See the following for the automatic cigarette storage process.) Figure 22 ):

Control the cigarette conveyor line 22 to transport the cigarettes rolled by the cigarette rolling machine in the upper half of Zone A2 to the No. 1 boxing machine 42 for sealing; control the cigarette conveyor line 22 to transport the cigarettes rolled by the cigarette rolling machine in the lower half of Zone A2 to the No. 2 boxing machine 43 for sealing; control the cigarette conveyor line 22 to transport the cigarettes rolled by the cigarette rolling machine in the upper half of Zone B3 to the No. 3 boxing machine 44 for sealing; control the cigarette conveyor line 22 to transport the cigarettes rolled by the cigarette rolling machine 1 in the lower half of Zone B3 to the No. 4 boxing machine 45 for sealing. The cigarette conveyor line 22 controls the cigarettes rolled by the cigarette rolling machine 1 in the upper half of zone C4 to be sealed at boxing machine 46 (number 5); the cigarette conveyor line 22 controls the cigarettes rolled by the cigarette rolling machine in the lower half of zone C4 to be sealed at boxing machine 47 (number 6); the cigarette conveyor line 22 controls the cigarettes rolled by the cigarette rolling machine in the upper half of zone D5 to be sealed at boxing machine 48 (number 7); the cigarette conveyor line 22 controls the cigarettes rolled by the cigarette rolling machine in the lower half of zone D5 to be sealed at boxing machine 41 (number 8).

[0085] S2. Control a portion of the cigarette pack lifting conveyor line 7 to transport cigarette packs sealed by box-sealing machine 1 42, box-sealing machine 2 43, box-sealing machine 3 44 and box-sealing machine 45 to the first cigarette pack conveyor line 8. Control another portion of the cigarette pack lifting conveyor line 7 to transport cigarette packs sealed by box-sealing machine 5 46, box-sealing machine 6 47, box-sealing machine 7 48 and box-sealing machine 8 49 to the second cigarette pack conveyor line 9.

[0086] S3. Control the stain QR code detector 92 configured in the first cigarette conveyor line 8 to identify whether there are stains on the QR codes of the cigarettes sealed by the No. 1 sealing machine 6, the No. 2 sealing machine 43, the No. 3 sealing machine 44 and the No. 4 sealing machine 45 conveyed by the first cigarette conveyor line 8; and control the stain QR code detector 92 configured in the second cigarette conveyor line 9 to identify whether there are stains on the QR codes of the cigarettes sealed by the No. 5 sealing machine 46, the No. 6 sealing machine 47, the No. 7 sealing machine 48 and the No. 8 sealing machine 49 conveyed by the second cigarette conveyor line 9.

[0087] S4. If the stain QR code detector 92 configured on the first cigarette conveyor line 8 detects a cigarette with a stain QR code, the stain QR code detector 92 configured on the first cigarette conveyor line 8 controls the cigarette rejection unit 13 located downstream of the stain QR code detector 92 and set on the first cigarette conveyor line 8 to reject the cigarette with the stain QR code from the first cigarette conveyor line 8 through the controller 2; if the stain QR code detector 92 configured on the second cigarette conveyor line 9 detects a cigarette with a stain QR code, the stain QR code detector 92 configured on the second cigarette conveyor line 9 controls the cigarette rejection unit 13 located downstream of the stain QR code detector 92 and set on the second cigarette conveyor line 9 to reject the cigarette with the stain QR code from the second cigarette conveyor line 9.

[0088] S5. If the stain QR code detector 92 configured on the second cigarette conveyor line 9 does not detect any cigarettes with stain QR codes in the second cigarette conveyor line 9, then control the second cigarette conveyor line 9 to convey the cigarettes sealed by the No. 5 box-sealing machine 46, the No. 6 box-sealing machine 47, the No. 7 box-sealing machine 48 and the No. 8 box-sealing machine 49, and the cigarettes with no stains detected by the QR code to the cigarette ring conveyor line 10; if the stain QR code detector 92 configured on the first cigarette conveyor line 8 does not detect any cigarettes with stain QR codes in the first cigarette conveyor line 8, then control the first cigarette conveyor line 8 to convey the cigarettes sealed by the No. 1 box-sealing machine 42, the No. 2 box-sealing machine 43, the No. 3 box-sealing machine 44 and the No. 4 box-sealing machine 45, and the cigarettes with no stains detected by the QR code to the cigarette ring conveyor line 10.

[0089] S6. Control the belt conveyor segment 11 in the circular conveyor line 10 to transport the cigarette packs sealed by the No. 1 box-sealing machine 42, No. 2 box-sealing machine 43, No. 3 box-sealing machine 44, No. 4 box-sealing machine 45, No. 5 box-sealing machine 46, No. 6 box-sealing machine 47, No. 7 box-sealing machine 48 and No. 8 box-sealing machine 49, and whose QR codes are free of stains, to the box-sealing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette pack identifier 14 configured on the belt conveyor segment 11 in the circular conveyor line 10 for identification of the box-sealing machine brand number and the corresponding cigarette pack stacking channel.

[0090] S7. If the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 identifies the cigarette package as being packed by packing machine 42 (No. 1), then the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 sends the identified information to controller 1. Controller 1, based on the time it takes for the cigarette package packed by packing machine 42 to travel from the belt conveyor segment 11 at packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 to the No. 1 cigarette stacking aisle 34 connected to the branch conveyor segment 12, controls the branch conveyor 55 in the branch conveyor segment 12 to push the cigarette package packed by packing machine 42 into the two-condition cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 within the No. 1 cigarette stacking aisle 34, thus entering the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16. The cigarettes packed by the No. 1 packing machine 42 are scanned by the cigarette association barcode scanner 18 located in each cigarette stacking conveyor line 1. The scanned information is transmitted to the industrial control computer, and then the industrial control computer associates the information with the RFID barcode scanner 25 corresponding to the pallet of the No. 1 cigarette stacking conveyor 34. The information generated is then transmitted to the smart warehouse control system for storage. Next, the cigarettes packed by the No. 1 packing machine 42, after being scanned by the cigarette association barcode scanner 18 in the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16, are then passed to the cigarette attitude flipping device 58 downstream of the cigarette association barcode scanner 18. The cigarette attitude flipping component 58 flips the cigarettes sealed by the No. 1 box-sealing machine 42 in the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 from a lying position to an upright position. The cigarettes sealed by the No. 1 box-sealing machine 42 and now in an upright position are then conveyed to the discharge end of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16. First, the cigarette stacking robot 24, which is connected to the discharge end of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16, is controlled to pick up and stack the cigarettes sealed by the No. 1 box-sealing machine 42 at the discharge end of the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 onto the pallets corresponding to the No. 1 cigarette stacking channel 34. Then, the AGV trolley 26 is controlled to move the pallets corresponding to the cigarettes sealed by the No. 1 box-sealing machine 42 and now stacked. The pallet, containing the tobacco stacks corresponding to the cigarettes packaged by the No. 1 box-sealing machine 42, is transferred to the tobacco stack placement conveyor 27 and placed on it. The tobacco stack placement conveyor 27 then delivers the pallet containing the tobacco stacks to the discharge end of the tobacco stack placement conveyor 27. The tobacco stack pusher 29 at the discharge end of the tobacco stack placement conveyor 27 pushes the pallet containing the tobacco stacks corresponding to the cigarettes packaged by the No. 1 box-sealing machine to the roller conveyor 87 on the tobacco stack placement frame 86 of the tobacco stack stacking / removal robot 95. The tobacco stack stacking / removal robot 95 then travels along the area between adjacent tobacco stack temporary storage racks 31 in the tobacco stack temporary storage warehouse 30 to the designated tobacco stack storage room 32 on the tobacco stack temporary storage rack 31.The tobacco stack stacking / removal robot 95, with its tobacco stack placement frame 86 equipped with a roller conveyor 87, transports the pallet corresponding to the tobacco stacks packed by the No. 1 box-packing machine 42 to the designated tobacco stack storage rack 31, where it is temporarily stored in the tobacco stack output device 33 within the tobacco stack storage room 32.

[0091] S8. If the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 identifies the cigarette package as being packed by packing machine 43 (No. 2), then the packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 sends the identified information to controller 1. Controller 1, based on the time it takes for the cigarette package packed by packing machine 43 to travel from the belt conveyor segment 11 at packing machine brand number identifier / problem cigarette identifier 14 to the No. 2 cigarette stacking aisle 35 connected to the branch conveyor segment 12, controls the branch conveyor 55 in the branch conveyor segment 12 to push the cigarette package packed by packing machine 43 into the two-condition cigarette stacking conveyor line 16 within the No. 2 cigarette stacking aisle 35. The cigarettes packaged by the No. 2 packing machine 43 are scanned by the cigarette association barcode scanner 18 located in each cigarette stacking conveyor line 1. The scanned information is transmitted to the industrial control computer, which then associates the information with the RFID barcode scanner 25 corresponding to the pallet of the No. 2 cigarette stacking conveyor 35. This association is then transmitted to the smart warehouse control system for storage. Next, after being scanned by the cigarette association barcode scanner 18 in the cigarette stacking conveyor line 16, the cigarettes packaged by the No. 2 packing machine 43 are passed downstream of the cigarette association barcode scanner 18 to the cigarette attitude flipping device 58.
