TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cigarette production, more particularly to a method for intelligent self-checking of cigarette cartons by a packaging machine auxiliary machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, in the production process of a packaging machine, the packaging equipment is provided with a plurality of appearance quality detection devices, which can detect the quality of the passing auxiliary materials and the appearance and the interior of the cigarette packets, but there may still be omissions. Therefore, the appearance of the cigarette packets and cartons needs to be manually self-checked at regular intervals, so as to effectively control the quality of the cigarette products. In order to improve the quality of tobacco products, in recent years, the tobacco industry has attached great importance to self-checking work to prevent unqualified products from flowing into the market and avoid harming the interests of consumers.

[0003] However, the sampling inspection in the current tobacco industry production is completed by manual means. Because it is difficult to accurately count by manual means, the manual inspection basically belongs to random sampling inspection, cannot be inspected at regular intervals and in a quantitative manner, and is prone to omissions or non-inspection, so it is difficult to guarantee the product quality to the maximum extent. Therefore, an intelligent cigarette packaging forced self-checking device needs to be developed to improve the quality control level of cigarette production. SUMMARY

It is worth noting that the following embodiments are only used to explain the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the present application.

[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] Referring to Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, a packaging machine auxiliary machine cigarette strip intelligent self-checking system includes a conveyor belt 1, an arc-shaped channel 2, and a self-checking channel 3, the conveyor belt 1, the arc-shaped channel 2 and the self-checking channel 3 are connected in sequence, a turnover plate 4 that can be turned over downward is arranged inside the self-checking channel 3, and the turnover of the turnover plate 4 is realized by a turnover motor. A slide 6 is installed directly below the turnover plate, and the position and size of the slide 6 can just accommodate the transferred cigarette strip. The circular arc-shaped slide can buffer the cigarette strip, ensuring that the falling cigarette strip is complete and not damaged. A cigarette strip detection sensor 5 is arranged in the self-checking channel 3. The end of the self-checking channel 3 is connected to a cigarette strip elevator 7, which continues to convey the cigarette strip to a large box machine (not shown in the figure). A display screen and an alarm device 8 are arranged at the end of the self-checking channel, the display screen can display the number of cigarette strips passing through and the number of self-checking times, etc., and the alarm device is used to remind the operator to take out the cigarette strip in the slide 6 for self-checking.

[0036] The turnover unit is rotatably connected to the end of the self-checking channel; the turnover unit has two states of being at a high end and being at a low end; the cigarette strip elevator is arranged at the end when the turnover unit is at the high end state; the slide is arranged at the end when the turnover unit is at the low end state and is located below the turnover unit.

[0037] In some embodiments, the cigarette strip detection sensor is arranged at the input end of the self-checking channel. The system further comprises a controller, and the turnover plate 4, the cigarette strip detection sensor 5, the alarm device and the touch display screen are electrically connected to the controller. The controller can be independently configured as a PLC (for example, a Siemens S7-200), or can be integrated with a primary device such as a packaging machine, and the present application does not limit the controller. The controller can count the detected cigarette strips and control the motor of the turnover plate 4 to turn down or reset. At the same time, the controller can also transmit the counting content to the display screen in real time, and intuitively display the number of times of self-checking and the number of times of self-checking next time through the display screen.

[0038] Specific embodiments: The packaged cigarette strips slide down through the conveying belt 1 into the arc-shaped channel 2, so that the cigarette strips enter the self-checking channel 3. The cigarette strips are continuously conveyed forward in the self-checking channel 3 by the conveying belt. A cigarette strip detection sensor for detecting the passage of cigarette strips is arranged at the input end of the self-checking channel. When the passage of cigarette strips is detected, a signal is transmitted to the controller. The controller is provided with a counter for counting the cigarette strips. The counting includes a self-checking interval number and a self-checking number. The self-checking interval number means that every how many cigarette strips need to be self-checked, and the self-checking number means that the number of cigarette strips to be checked each time.

[0039] When the counting reaches the self-checking interval number, such as 1 self-checking per 750 cigarette strips, the controller transmits a self-checking signal to control the turnover plate 4 to turn down and open, so that the cigarette strips slide into the chute 5. The bottom of the chute 6 is provided with a storage platform for storing self-checked cigarette strips. At this time, the counter in the controller starts counting again. When the counting reaches the self-checking number, such as 5 cigarette strips per self-checking, the controller controls the turnover plate 4 to reset and controls the alarm device to alarm. After hearing the alarm, the operator takes out the cigarette strips falling in the chute 5 for self-checking. This cycle realizes accurate quantitative self-checking.

[0040] In particular, in order to ensure that the cigarette strips can be smoothly conveyed on the turnover plate 4, a guide wheel 9 is further arranged on the turnover plate 4.

[0041] In particular, the alarm device can use a buzzer for alarm reminding, or an alarm lamp, etc.

[0042] Corresponding to the above system, the present application also provides at least one packaging machine auxiliary cigarette strip intelligent self-checking method. As shown in the figure, the method can include the following steps: Figure 3

[0043] A packaging machine auxiliary cigarette strip intelligent self-checking method is realized based on a packaging machine auxiliary cigarette strip intelligent self-checking system, which includes the following steps:

[0044] ​Step 1: Set the value of the counter, including the number of self-checking intervals and the number of self-checking. When the sensor detects the passing of the cigarette, the internal counter of the controller starts counting;

[0045] Step 2: When the counter reaches the set self-checking interval value, output the control signal to the turnover motor, and the turnover plate performs the downward turning action. The cigarette slides into the slide and is buffered at the end of the slide platform. At the same time, the counter starts to accumulate the number of self-checking cigarettes;

[0046] Step 3: When the counter reaches the set self-checking value, the controller outputs an alarm signal to the alarm device, and the alarm device alarms to prompt the operator to perform self-checking. At the same time, output the control signal to the turnover motor, and the turnover plate performs the reset action. The device is automatically reset, and the counter is also reset.

[0047] Step 4: If the operator does not take away the frontmost cigarette, when the cigarette package accumulates to the cigarette detection sensor position, the controller outputs a stop signal to control the packaging machine to stop, forcing the operator to self-check until the frontmost cigarette is taken away. After the device is reset, the forced self-checking of the manual cigarette package is completed.

[0048] Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4.

[0049] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
