The image acquisition unit 220 is connected to the control module 400, which is used to acquire image information to determine the packaging status of the cigarette pack 20.

[0053] Among them, reference Figure 1As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a cigarette pack flipping and adjusting device 10, which includes a flipping module 100, a detection module 200, an adjusting module 300, and a control module 400. Specifically, the control module 400 is connected to the flipping module 100, the detection module 200, and the adjusting module 300, respectively, and can adjust the transportation process of the cigarette pack 20 to ensure the stability and reliability of the transportation of the cigarette pack 20, thereby ensuring the continuity of the overall process.

Optionally, the control module 400 can be a programmable logic controller, or other controllers capable of data acquisition and processing, etc. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0054] For details, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the flipping module 100 includes a cigarette pack transport cavity 100a. The cigarette pack transport cavity 100a can be understood as a cavity structure within the flipping module 100, into which the cigarette pack 20 is placed to achieve transport of the cigarette pack 20. For details, refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a includes a first bearing surface 110, a second bearing surface 120, and a flip bearing surface 130, wherein the first bearing surface 110, the second bearing surface 120, and the flip bearing surface 130 can be understood as the surface structures constituting the cavity structure. Specifically, refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the first bearing surface 110 and the second bearing surface 120 are arranged opposite to and parallel to each other. The first bearing surface 110 and the second bearing surface 120 can be understood as the top and bottom surfaces of the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a. The flip bearing surface 130 can be understood as a side structure used to connect the first bearing surface 110 and the second bearing surface 120. (Refer to...) Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the first bearing surface 110 and the flip bearing surface 130 are connected to the first connecting line n1, and the second bearing surface 120 and the flip bearing surface 130 are connected to the second connecting line n2. The extending directions of the first connecting line n1 and the second connecting line n2 are parallel to the transport path of the cigarette pack 20 (the direction indicated by X in the figure is understood as the transport path direction of the cigarette pack 20). The first connecting line n1 and the second connecting line n2 can be understood as the connection point connecting different surfaces. (Refer to...) Figure 8 As shown, the tobacco pack 20 includes tobacco leaves 21 and a packaging bag 22, wherein the packaging bag 22 is used to cover the tobacco leaves 21. For example, the packaging bag 22 may be a plastic bag or other covering material used to package the tobacco leaves 21.

[0055] Further reference Figure 1As shown, the control module 400 is connected to the flipping module 100. The control module 400 can control the flipping module 100 to flip, thus adjusting the cigarette pack 20 to be on the first bearing surface 110, or on the second bearing surface 120, or on the flipping bearing surface 130, achieving a positional adjustment of the cigarette pack 20. It should be noted that in actual production lines, a 180° positional flip of the cigarette pack 20 is required; therefore, the control module 400 controls the flipping module 100 to flip, achieving the positional adjustment of the cigarette pack 20. For example, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cigarette pack 20 is positioned on the first bearing surface 110. This can be understood as the cigarette pack 20 being transported to the flipping module 100, that is, the cigarette pack 20 being transported into the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a. Further, refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the control module 400 controls the flipping module 100 to flip the cigarette pack 20 to the flipping bearing surface 130, which is equivalent to flipping the cigarette pack 20 by 90°. Further, refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the control module 400 then controls the flipping module 100 to flip the cigarette pack 20 to the second bearing surface 120. Compared to the initial state of the cigarette pack 20 when it first entered the transport cavity 100a, the cigarette pack 20 has achieved a 180° flip, which is equivalent to turning the cigarette pack 20 around. The first bearing surface 110 and the second bearing surface 120 are used for transporting the cigarette pack 20. The flipping bearing surface 130 is located between the first bearing surface 110 and the second bearing surface 120, and the cigarette pack 20 is transferred from the first bearing surface 110 to the second bearing surface 120 by flipping the bearing surface 130.

[0056] Further reference Figure 9 As shown, the flip-up bearing surface 130 includes a bearing unit 131, and the bearing unit 131 includes at least two bearing portions 1311. Figure 9 Taking the flip-over bearing surface 130, which includes three bearing surfaces 131, as an example, the actual number of bearing sections 1311 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Multiple bearing sections 1311 are arranged along the extension direction of the first connecting line n1. Dividing the flip-over bearing surface 130 into multiple regions allows for adjustment of the position of the tobacco pack 20 during the flipping process, ensuring the reliability and stability of the tobacco pack 20 in subsequent processes. Figure 9 As shown, when the cigarette pack 20 is placed on the flip-support surface 130, it is placed on multiple support sections 1311.

[0057] Furthermore, the detection module 200 in the cigarette pack flipping adjustment device 10 includes at least two pressure detection units 210, as referenced. Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the pressure detection unit 210 is located on the side of the bearing section 1311 away from the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a, and is used to acquire pressure information of the cigarette pack 20 at the bearing unit 131. When the cigarette pack 20 is placed on the flipping bearing surface 130, the pressure detection unit 210 and the cigarette pack 20 are respectively located on opposite sides of the bearing section 1311. The pressure distribution of the bearing section 1311 can be obtained through the pressure detection unit 210, thereby allowing analysis of the placement of the cigarette pack 20 at a specific position on the bearing section 1311. For example, if the cigarette pack 20 is biased towards one side of the bearing section 1311, the pressure value on that side will be greater. (Reference) Figure 1 As shown, the pressure detection unit 210 is connected to the control module 400 and can transmit the pressure information detected on the bearing section 1311 to the control module 400.

[0058] Furthermore, the adjustment module 300 in the cigarette pack flipping adjustment device 10 includes at least two position adjustment units 310, as referenced. Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the position adjustment unit 310 is located on the side of the bearing section 1311 away from the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a, and is used to adjust the shape of the bearing section 1311, thereby adjusting the position of the cigarette pack 20 placed on the bearing unit 1311. When the cigarette pack 20 is placed on the flip bearing surface 130, the position adjustment unit 310 and the cigarette pack 20 are located on opposite sides of the bearing section 1311. For example, if the cigarette pack 20 is biased towards the side of the first connecting line n1, the position adjustment unit 310 can be used to adjust the bearing section 1311 to move towards the side of the second connecting line n2, thereby adjusting the shape of the cigarette pack 20. It should be noted that... Figure 10 In the diagram, the area indicated by the dashed line p can be understood as the original location of the load-bearing component 1311. Multiple load-bearing components 1311 can be adjusted simultaneously, or only some of them can be adjusted. The specific adjustment method of the position adjustment unit 310 on the load-bearing component 1311 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs.

[0059] Further reference Figure 1 As shown, the detection module 200 also includes an image acquisition unit 220. The image acquisition unit 220 can be a process camera, a contour acquisition sensor, or an infrared sensor, etc. This embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the type of the image acquisition unit 220; it can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. The image acquisition unit 220 can acquire image information of the packaging bag 22, that is, determine the relative positional relationship between the tobacco leaves 21 in the tobacco pack 20 and the packaging bag 22. For example, the packaging bag 22 can be tightly attached to the tobacco leaves 21, or the packaging bag 22 can be detached from the tobacco leaves 21, or the packaging bag 22 can unevenly cover the tobacco leaves 21.

[0060] The cigarette pack 20 has a relatively flexible overall structure. Its overall shape can be adjusted by changing its angle and position. Therefore, by adjusting the position of the cigarette pack 20 using the bearing section 1311, the overall shape of the cigarette pack 20 can be adjusted, making the structure of the cigarette pack 20 more regular after transportation via the flipping module 100, thus facilitating its use in subsequent processes. (Reference) Figure 1 As shown, the position adjustment unit 310 is connected to the control module 400. By adjusting the position adjustment unit 310, the position angle of the bearing section 1311 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the cigarette pack 20, thus realizing the function of flipping the bearing surface 130 to adjust the position of the cigarette pack 20.

[0061] In summary, the flipping module 100 is connected to the control module 400. The control module 400 adjusts the flipping module 100 to adjust the specific placement position of the cigarette pack 20. For example, the cigarette pack 20 can be placed on the first bearing surface 110, the second bearing surface 130, or the flipping bearing surface 130. Furthermore, the pressure detection unit 210 is connected to the control module 100, which acquires pressure information. The position adjustment unit 310 is also connected to the control module 400. The control module 400 adjusts the position of the bearing unit 131 based on the pressure information, thus enabling the flipping bearing surface 130 to adjust the position of the cigarette pack 20, thereby achieving the adjustment of the cigarette pack 20's position. The cigarette pack flipping adjustment device 10 ensures a more regular structure for the cigarette pack 20, facilitating its use in subsequent processes and guaranteeing the overall efficiency and reliability of production. Furthermore, the image acquisition unit 220 is connected to the control module 100. The control module 100 determines the packaging status of the tobacco pack 20 based on the image information acquired by the image acquisition unit 220. The packaging status includes whether the packaging of the tobacco leaves 21 and the packaging bag 22 is good, for example, the packaging bag 22 is tightly attached to the tobacco leaves 21; or whether the packaging status is poor, for example, the packaging bag 22 is detached from the tobacco leaves 21, or the packaging bag 22 unevenly covers the tobacco leaves 21. By adding the determination of the image status of the packaging bag 20, the flipping adjustment device 10 can be used to check the flipping status of the tobacco pack 20, thus improving the reliability of the tobacco pack flipping adjustment device 10.

[0062] In summary, this invention provides a cigarette pack flipping and adjusting device, which includes a flipping module, a detection module, an adjusting module, and a control module. The flipping module includes a cigarette pack transport cavity, which comprises a first bearing surface, a second bearing surface, and a flipping bearing surface. The first or second bearing surface is used for transporting the cigarette pack, and the flipping bearing surface is used to adjust the position of the cigarette pack. The flipping bearing surface includes multiple bearing units. The detection module includes a pressure detection unit for detecting the pressure information of the cigarette pack on the bearing units. The adjusting module includes a position adjusting unit for adjusting the position of the bearing units, thereby achieving position adjustment of the cigarette pack. The control module is connected to the flipping module, the detection module, and the adjusting module. During the flipping process, it adjusts the bearing components in conjunction with the pressure detection unit and the position adjusting unit, ensuring a more regular structure of the cigarette pack in the flipping and adjusting device, facilitating its use in subsequent processes and ensuring the overall efficiency and reliability of production. Furthermore, the detection module also includes an image acquisition unit, which can acquire image information of the packaging bag. The control module can further determine the flipping status of the cigarette pack by acquiring the image information, thereby better ensuring that the structure of the cigarette pack in the cigarette pack flipping adjustment device is more regular.

[0063] The position adjustment unit 310 controls the bearing portion 1311 to offset the first bearing surface 110 and / or the second bearing surface 120 along the extension direction perpendicular to the first connecting line n1.

[0064] Specifically, for comparison and reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the position adjustment unit 310 can adjust the position of the bearing portion 1311 along the extension direction perpendicular to the first connecting line n1. Specifically, it can control the bearing portion 1311 to shift towards the direction of the first bearing surface 110, or it can control the bearing portion 1311 to shift towards the direction of the second bearing surface 120, or it can control multiple bearing portions 1311 partially shifted towards the direction of the first bearing surface 110 and partially shifted towards the direction of the second bearing surface 120. For example, Figure 10 The example illustrates this by showing that all three load-bearing components 1311 are offset in the direction of the second load-bearing surface 120.

[0065] Continue to refer to Figures 9 to 11As shown, the flip-up bearing surface 130 includes a connecting unit 132 connected to the bearing unit 131; along the direction perpendicular to the first connecting line n1, the connecting unit 132 includes a first connecting unit 132a and a second connecting unit 132b located on both sides of the bearing unit 131, the first connecting unit 132a connects the bearing unit 131 and the first bearing surface 110, and the second connecting unit 132 connects the bearing unit 131 and the second bearing surface 120; the Young's modulus of the bearing unit 131 is greater than the Young's modulus of the connecting unit 132.

[0066] Further reference Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the flip-up bearing surface 130 includes a connecting unit 132 connected to the bearing unit 131. The Young's modulus of the bearing unit 131 is greater than that of the connecting unit 132, which can be understood as the hardness of the bearing unit 131 being greater than that of the connecting unit 132. When the flip-up module 100 flips to the flip-up bearing surface 130 to place the cigarette pack 20, the bearing unit 131 provides support to ensure the support effect for the cigarette pack 20. The connecting unit 132 connects the bearing unit 131 to the first bearing surface 110 and the second bearing surface 120 on both sides. The bearing portion 1311 in the bearing unit 131 can also be adjusted in position, so the Young's modulus of the connecting unit 132 is relatively small. Therefore, the connecting unit 132, on the one hand, ensures the connection relationship between the bearing unit 131 and the bearing surfaces on both sides, and on the other hand, needs to withstand the stress changes caused by the adjustment of the position of the bearing portion 1311.

[0067] For details, please refer to Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the connecting unit 132 includes a first connecting unit 132a and a second connecting unit 132b located on both sides of the bearing unit 131. The first connecting unit 132a connects the bearing unit 131 and the first bearing surface 110, and the second connecting unit 132b connects the bearing unit 131 and the second bearing surface 120.

[0068] Figure 12 This is a top view of a load-bearing component provided in an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 12 As shown, a pressure detection unit 210 is provided at a load-bearing section 1311; the orthographic projection of the pressure detection unit 210 on the load-bearing section 1311 at least coincides with the center o of the load-bearing section 1311.

[0069] Further reference Figure 12 As shown, a pressure detection unit 210 can be installed in a bearing section 1311, and the pressure detection unit 210 is located at the center of the bearing section 1311. This ensures that the pressure detection unit 210 provides a more balanced detection effect on the whole. Furthermore, setting a smaller number of pressure detection units 210 can reduce the overall process cost.

[0070] Figure 13 This is a top view of another load-bearing component provided in an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 13 As shown, n pressure detection units 210 are set at a load-bearing section 1311, where n ≥ 2 and n is a positive integer; at a load-bearing section 1311, the minimum distance between the pressure detection unit 210 and the center o of the load-bearing section 1311 is the same.

[0071] Further reference Figure 13 As shown, multiple pressure detection units 210 can be installed in a load-bearing section 1311, wherein... Figure 13 The example illustrates this by setting up four pressure detection units 210 in a single load-bearing section 1311. Adding pressure detection units 210 ensures more accurate pressure value acquisition.

[0072] Furthermore, at one load-bearing section 1311, the minimum distance between the pressure detection unit 210 and the center of the load-bearing section 1311 is the same, combined with Figure 13 As shown, the minimum distance between the four pressure detection units 210 and the center o is L. The specific value of L is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the invention. By adjusting the distance between the multiple pressure detection units 210 and the center of the bearing section 1311, the pressure acquisition effect on the bearing section 1311 can be ensured to be relatively balanced, and the arrangement of the pressure detection units 210 in the bearing section 1311 is more regular, facilitating the adjustment of the position of the position adjustment unit 310.

[0073] Optionally, the arrangement of the position adjustment unit 310 in a bearing section 1311 can be varied, and one or more position adjustment units 310 can be provided. Furthermore, in a bearing section 1311, the minimum distance between the multiple position adjustment units 310 and the center o of the bearing section 1311 is also the same.

[0074] Optionally, the pressure detection unit includes a pressure sensor.

[0075] The pressure detection unit can be a pressure sensor, which is a device that can sense pressure signals and convert them into usable electrical signals for output.

[0076] Optionally, the position adjustment unit includes a hydraulic cylinder.

[0077] The position adjustment unit can be a hydraulic cylinder, which can be understood as an actuator of hydraulic transmission that can adjust the position height.

[0078] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of another cigarette pack flipping adjustment device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 15This is a schematic diagram of another cigarette pack flipping adjustment device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, for reference. Figure 2 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 The image acquisition unit 220 includes a first image acquisition subunit 221 and a second image acquisition subunit 222; the first image acquisition subunit 221 is used to acquire image information of the input end 100a1 of the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a, and the second image acquisition subunit 222 is used to acquire image information of the output end 100a2 of the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a.

[0079] Further reference Figure 2 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the image acquisition unit 220 includes a first image acquisition subunit 221 and a second image acquisition subunit 222. The first image acquisition subunit 221 is used to acquire image information of the input end 100a1 of the tobacco pack transport cavity 100a, which can be understood as the image information of the packaging bag 22 of the tobacco pack 20 when it enters the input end 100a1 of the tobacco pack transport cavity 100a. The second image acquisition subunit 222 is used to acquire image information of the packaging bag 22 of the tobacco pack 20 when it exits the output end 100a2 of the tobacco pack transport cavity 100a, which can be understood as the image information of the tobacco pack 20 when it exits the output end 100a2 of the tobacco pack transport cavity 100a. By acquiring the image information acquired by the first image acquisition subunit 221 and the second image acquisition subunit 222, the control module 400 can determine whether the packaging bag 22 and the tobacco leaves 21 in the tobacco pack 20 have been adjusted in position or shape. Therefore, by setting the first image acquisition subunit 221 and the second image acquisition subunit 222, a more accurate judgment can be made on the transportation process of the cigarette pack flipping adjustment device 10.

[0080] Continue to refer to Figure 15 As shown, the angle q1 between the center line of the detection ray o1 output by the first image acquisition subunit 221 and the transport path X of the cigarette pack is 45°, and the angle q2 between the center line of the detection ray o2 output by the second image acquisition subunit 222 and the transport path X of the cigarette pack is 45°.

[0081] Specifically, by limiting the positions of the first image acquisition subunit 221 and the second image acquisition subunit 222, it can be ensured that the first image acquisition subunit 221 and the second image acquisition subunit 222 acquire images more clearly and accurately.

[0082] Optionally, the cigarette pack flipping and adjusting device can also be equipped with an alarm module. The alarm module is connected to the control module. When there is a serious positional deviation of the cigarette pack, or when the connection between the flipping module, detection module, adjustment module and control module is not good, the alarm module can provide a prompt to ensure the reliability of the entire production process.

[0083] Figure 16 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting the flipping of a cigarette pack according to an embodiment of the present invention. (Refer to...) Figure 16 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for adjusting the flipping of a cigarette pack, comprising:

[0084] S110, Control the placement of the tobacco pack on the first bearing surface.

[0085] This invention provides a method for adjusting the flipping of cigarette packs, implemented using a cigarette pack flipping adjustment device. The device includes a flipping module, a detection module, an adjustment module, and a control module. Specifically, the control module is connected to the flipping module, the detection module, and the adjustment module, enabling adjustments to the cigarette pack transportation process to ensure stability and reliability, thereby guaranteeing the continuity of the overall process. Optionally, the connection method between the control module and other modules can be electrical or communication, etc. This invention does not impose specific limitations on this and can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. Optionally, the control module can be a programmable logic controller (PLC) or other controllers capable of data acquisition and processing, etc. This invention does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0086] For details, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the flipping module 100 includes a cigarette pack transport cavity 100a. The cigarette pack transport cavity 100a can be understood as a cavity structure within the flipping module 100, into which the cigarette pack 20 is placed to achieve transport of the cigarette pack 20. For details, refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a includes a first bearing surface 110, a second bearing surface 120, and a flip bearing surface 130, wherein the first bearing surface 110, the second bearing surface 120, and the flip bearing surface 130 can be understood as the surface structures constituting the cavity structure. Specifically, refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the first bearing surface 110 and the second bearing surface 120 are arranged opposite to and parallel to each other. The first bearing surface 110 and the second bearing surface 120 can be understood as the top and bottom surfaces of the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a. The flip bearing surface 130 can be understood as a side structure used to connect the first bearing surface 110 and the second bearing surface 120. (Refer to...) Figures 2 to 7As shown, the first bearing surface 110 and the flip bearing surface 130 are connected to the first connecting line n1, and the second bearing surface 120 and the flip bearing surface 130 are connected to the second connecting line n2. The extending directions of the first connecting line n1 and the second connecting line n2 are parallel to the transport path of the cigarette pack 20 (the direction indicated by X in the figure is understood as the transport path direction of the cigarette pack 20). The first connecting line n1 and the second connecting line n2 can be understood as the connection point connecting different surfaces. (Refer to...) Figure 8 As shown, the tobacco pack 20 includes tobacco leaves 21 and a packaging bag 22, wherein the packaging bag 22 is used to cover the tobacco leaves 21. For example, the packaging bag 22 may be a plastic bag or other covering material used to package the tobacco leaves 21.

[0087] Specifically, the control flipping module flips the cigarette pack, thus adjusting its position on the first bearing surface. This can be understood as the cigarette pack being transported to the flipping module, that is, the cigarette pack being transported into the cigarette pack transport cavity.

[0088] S120, the flipping module controls the placement of the cigarette pack on the flipping support surface.

[0089] Specifically, the control module flips the cigarette pack, adjusting its position on the flipping support surface to achieve a positional adjustment. Flipping the cigarette pack to the flipping support surface is equivalent to flipping it 90°.

[0090] Specifically, the flipped bearing surface includes a bearing unit, and the bearing unit includes at least two bearing portions. Figure 9 Taking the flipping bearing surface 130, which includes three bearing surfaces 131, as an example, the actual number of bearing sections 1311 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Multiple bearing sections are arranged along the extension direction of the first connecting line. Dividing the flipping bearing surface into multiple regions allows for adjustment of the tobacco pack's position during the flipping process, ensuring the reliable and stable entry of the tobacco pack into subsequent processes. Combined with... Figure 9 As shown, when the cigarette pack 20 is placed on the flip-support surface 130, it is placed on multiple support sections 1311.

[0091] S130, The control pressure detection unit obtains the pressure information of the cigarette pack at the bearing unit.

[0092] The detection module in the cigarette pack flipping adjustment device includes at least two pressure detection units, as referenced. Figures 9 to 11As shown, the pressure detection unit 210 is located on the side of the bearing section 1311 away from the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a, and is used to acquire pressure information of the cigarette pack 20 at the bearing unit 131. When the cigarette pack is placed on the flipping bearing surface, the pressure detection unit and the cigarette pack are located on opposite sides of the bearing section. The pressure detection unit can acquire the current pressure distribution of the bearing section, and thus analyze the placement of the cigarette pack at a certain position on the bearing section. For example, if the cigarette pack is biased towards one side of the bearing section, the pressure value on that side will be greater.

[0093] S140. Obtain pressure information and control the position adjustment unit to adjust the shape of the bearing unit according to the pressure information.

[0094] Furthermore, the adjustment module in the cigarette pack flipping adjustment device includes at least two position adjustment units, as referenced. Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the position adjustment unit 310 is located on the side of the bearing section 1311 away from the cigarette pack transport cavity 100a, and is used to adjust the shape of the bearing section 1311, thereby adjusting the position of the cigarette pack 20 placed on the bearing unit 1311. When the cigarette pack is placed on the flipping bearing surface, the position adjustment unit and the cigarette pack are located on opposite sides of the bearing section. For example, if the cigarette pack 20 is biased towards the side of the first connecting line n1, the position adjustment unit 310 can be used to adjust the bearing section 1311 to move towards the side of the second connecting line n2, thereby adjusting the shape of the cigarette pack 20. It should be noted that... Figure 10 In the diagram, the area indicated by the dashed line p can be understood as the original location of the load-bearing component 1311. Multiple load-bearing components 1311 can be adjusted simultaneously, or only some of them can be adjusted. The specific adjustment method of the position adjustment unit 310 on the load-bearing component 1311 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs.

[0095] The overall structure of the cigarette pack is relatively soft, and its overall shape can be adjusted by changing its angle and position. Therefore, by adjusting the position of the cigarette pack through the load-bearing components, the overall shape of the cigarette pack can be adjusted, making the cigarette pack structure more regular after being transported by the flipping module, which is convenient for use in subsequent processes.

[0096] S150, the flipping module controls the placement of the cigarette pack on the second bearing surface.

[0097] Specifically, the flipping module controls the flipping of the cigarette pack, adjusting its position on the second support surface to achieve a 180° rotation. Compared to its initial state upon entering the transport chamber, the cigarette pack has been flipped 180°, essentially turning it around. The first and second support surfaces are used for transporting the cigarette pack, and the flipping support surface is located between them, transferring the cigarette pack from the first support surface to the second support surface.

[0098] S160. Control the image acquisition unit to acquire image information of the packaging bag and determine the packaging status of the cigarette pack.

[0099] Furthermore, the detection module also includes an image acquisition unit, which can be a process camera, a contour acquisition sensor, or an infrared sensor, etc. This embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit the type of image acquisition unit and can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. The image acquisition unit can acquire image information of the packaging bag, that is, determine the relative positional relationship between the tobacco leaves and the packaging bag in the tobacco pack. For example, the packaging bag may be tightly attached to the tobacco leaves, or it may be detached from the tobacco leaves, or the packaging bag may unevenly cover the tobacco leaves.

[0100] Furthermore, the image acquisition unit is connected to the control module. The control module determines the packaging status of the tobacco packs based on the image information acquired by the image acquisition unit. The packaging status includes whether the tobacco leaves and packaging bag are well-packaged (e.g., the packaging bag is tightly attached to the tobacco leaves) or poorly packaged (e.g., the packaging bag is detached from the tobacco leaves or the packaging bag unevenly covers the tobacco leaves). By adding the determination of the packaging bag's image status, the flipping adjustment device can be used to check the flipping status, thus improving the reliability of the device.

[0101] In summary, the flipping module is connected to the control module, which adjusts the flipping mechanism to change the specific placement of the cigarette pack. For example, the cigarette pack can be placed on the first support surface, the second support surface, or the flipping support surface. Furthermore, the pressure detection unit is connected to the control module, which acquires pressure information; the position adjustment unit is also connected to the control module, which adjusts the position of the support unit based on the pressure information, thus enabling the flipping of the support surface to adjust the position of the cigarette pack. This cigarette pack flipping adjustment device ensures a more regular structure for the cigarette pack, facilitating its use in subsequent processes and guaranteeing overall production efficiency and reliability.

[0102] In summary, the cigarette pack flipping adjustment method provided by this invention connects a control module to a flipping module, a detection module, and an adjustment module. During the flipping process, the load-bearing components are adjusted in conjunction with a pressure detection unit and a position adjustment unit to ensure a more regular structure of the cigarette pack in the flipping adjustment device. This facilitates subsequent use in other processes and ensures high efficiency and reliability in overall production. Furthermore, the control module can further determine the flipping status of the cigarette pack by acquiring image information, thereby further ensuring a more regular structure of the cigarette pack in the flipping adjustment device.

Further, refer to... Figure 17 As shown, the tobacco transport device 1 also includes a slicer 30 and a tobacco pack conveyor belt 40, which connects the slicer 30 and the flipping module 100. The tobacco pack conveyor belt 40 transports the tobacco packs 20, after being transported by the flipping module 100, to the slicer 40, which cuts the tobacco packs 20. Before the tobacco packs 20 are transferred to the slicer 40, a robot or robotic arm (not specifically shown in the figure) included in the tobacco transport device 1 removes the packaging bag 22 from the tobacco packs 20 to facilitate the slicing of the tobacco leaves 21.
