[0011] Beneficial effects This invention provides a cigarette pack correction device, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art: When the special-shaped cigarette pack falls onto the conveyor belt, the motor is running, causing the two rollers to work together and the conveyor belt to rotate, thus transporting the cigarette pack. During transport, the cigarette pack first passes under a high-definition camera. The camera can then detect whether the cigarette pack is tilted. If the cigarette pack is detected to be tilted to the left at an angle of more than 45 degrees, the camera activates photoelectric sensor A to detect the cigarette pack approaching. Upon detection, cylinder A is activated, causing its output end to retract and stop the movement of the movable baffle A. With support, the movable baffle A, under its own weight, begins to rotate clockwise downwards with itself and the frame as fulcrums. At this point, the lower end of the movable baffle A is close to the upper surface of the conveyor belt, with a gap of 1 cm. Thus, when the left-leaning special-shaped cigarette pack comes into contact with the movable baffle A, its tilt angle can be changed by the movable baffle A. During this process, the special-shaped cigarette pack continues to be conveyed by the conveyor belt. When the photoelectric sensor B detects that the special-shaped cigarette pack is approaching, its tilt angle is below 45° and it has completely passed through the movable baffle A. At this point, the cylinder A is activated in the reverse direction, thereby pushing the movable baffle A to begin sliding and resetting, so that the special-shaped cigarette pack can be completely corrected by the chain plate. 1. When the HD camera detects that the special-shaped cigarette pack is tilted to the right at an angle of more than 45°, the HD camera activates photoelectric sensor A to detect the approaching special-shaped cigarette pack. After detecting the approaching special-shaped cigarette pack, the camera activates cylinder B. At this time, the output end of cylinder B begins to retract, thus stopping the support of the movable baffle B. Then, under its own weight, the movable baffle B begins to rotate clockwise downward with itself and the frame as the fulcrum. At this time, the lower end of the movable baffle B is close to the upper surface of the conveyor belt, with a distance of 1 cm. Thus, when the left-tilted special-shaped cigarette pack comes into contact with the movable baffle B, the movable baffle B can change its tilt angle. During this process, the special-shaped cigarette pack continues to be conveyed by the conveyor belt. When the photoelectric sensor detects that the special-shaped cigarette pack is approaching, its tilt angle is below 45° and it has completely passed through the movable baffle B. At this time, the camera activates cylinder B in the reverse direction, thus pushing the movable baffle B to begin sliding and resetting. When the high-definition camera detects that the tilt angle of the special-shaped cigarette pack is insufficient, the high-definition camera activates photoelectric sensor C to detect the special-shaped cigarette pack approaching. After detecting the special-shaped cigarette pack approaching, the cylinder is activated, thereby pulling the chain plate to the right, thereby raising the height between the lowest point of the chain plate and the upper surface of the conveyor belt until the distance between the lowest point of the chain plate and the upper surface of the conveyor belt is 1 cm. Thus, when the special-shaped cigarette pack passes through the chain plate, the chain plate can apply resistance to the special-shaped cigarette pack, thereby completely correcting the special-shaped cigarette pack. That is, at this time, the special-shaped cigarette pack has no tilt angle after passing through the chain plate. 2. When the special-shaped cigarette packs are tilted more than 45° to the left or 45° to the right, after being corrected by the movable baffle A and movable baffle B, they pass through the photoelectric sensor C during the continued transmission process. At this time, the photoelectric sensor C activates the cylinder, thereby raising the height of the chain plate, so as to perform a second correction on the special-shaped cigarette packs, so as to correct them to the point where there is no tilt.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0015] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a cigarette pack correction device includes a movable baffle A7 and a movable baffle B10. The movable baffle A7 and the movable baffle B10 are both inclinedly arranged above the conveyor belt 1, and the upper ends of the movable baffle A7 and the movable baffle B10 are rotatably mounted on the frame 15. The two ends of the movable baffle A7 and the movable baffle B10 are located outside the conveyor belt 1. A cylinder B9 and a cylinder A8 are respectively arranged on the side of the movable baffle B10 and the movable baffle A7 that are close to each other. The cylinders B9 and A8 are both horizontally fixedly connected to the frame 15, and the output ends of the cylinders B9 and A8 are respectively in contact with the side of the movable baffle B10 and the movable baffle A7 that are close to each other.

[0017] Specifically, rollers 2 are respectively connected to both ends of the conveyor belt 1, and the rollers 2 are rotatably connected to the frame 15. One end of any roller 2 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 3, and the motor 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 15.

[0018] Specifically, a high-definition camera 5 is installed above the conveyor belt 1. The high-definition camera 5 is fixedly connected to the frame 15, and the camera end of the high-definition camera 5 faces the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1. It is used to detect whether the special-shaped cigarette packs on the conveyor belt 1 are tilted. The high-definition camera 5 is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor A4.

[0019] Specifically, the photoelectric sensor A4 is disposed on the side of the conveyor belt 1. The photoelectric sensor A4 is used to detect the tilt of the special-shaped cigarette pack. The photoelectric sensor A4 is fixedly connected to the frame 15. The photoelectric sensor A4 is electrically connected to the cylinder B9 and the cylinder A8 respectively.

[0020] Specifically, photoelectric sensor 12 and photoelectric sensor B6 are arranged sequentially from left to right on the side of the conveyor belt 1. Both photoelectric sensor 12 and photoelectric sensor B6 are fixedly connected to the frame 15. The photoelectric sensor 12 and photoelectric sensor B6 are electrically connected to cylinder B9 and cylinder A8, respectively.

[0021] In the above embodiment, when the special-shaped cigarette pack falls onto the conveyor belt 1, since the motor 3 is in the started state, the two rollers 2 can cooperate to make the conveyor belt 1 start rotating to transport the special-shaped cigarette pack. During the transport process, the special-shaped cigarette pack first passes under the high-definition camera 5. At this time, the high-definition camera 5 can detect whether the special-shaped cigarette pack is tilted. If the special-shaped cigarette pack is detected to be tilted to the left by more than 45 degrees, the high-definition camera 5 activates the photoelectric sensor A4 to detect the special-shaped cigarette pack approaching. After detecting the special-shaped cigarette pack approaching, the cylinder A8 is activated. At this time, the output end of the cylinder A8 begins to retract, thereby stopping the movement of the movable baffle. With A7 providing support, the movable baffle A7, under its own weight, begins to rotate clockwise downwards, using itself and the frame 15 as fulcrums. At this point, the lower end of the movable baffle A7 is close to the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1, with a distance of 1 cm. Thus, when a left-leaning special-shaped cigarette pack contacts the movable baffle A7, its tilt angle can be changed by the movable baffle A7. During this process, the special-shaped cigarette pack continues to be conveyed by the conveyor belt 1. When the photoelectric sensor B6 detects the special-shaped cigarette pack approaching, its tilt angle is now below 45° and it has completely passed through the movable baffle A7. At this point, the cylinder A8 is activated in the reverse direction, pushing the movable baffle A7 to begin sliding and resetting, so that the special-shaped cigarette pack can be completely corrected via the chain plate 14. When the HD camera 5 detects that the special-shaped cigarette pack is tilted to the right at an angle of more than 45°, the HD camera 5 activates the photoelectric sensor A4 to detect the approach of the special-shaped cigarette pack. After detecting the approach of the special-shaped cigarette pack, the camera activates the cylinder B9. At this time, the output end of the cylinder B9 begins to retract, thereby stopping the support of the movable baffle B10. Then, under its own weight, the movable baffle B10 begins to rotate clockwise downward with itself and the frame 15 as the fulcrum. At this time, the lower end of the movable baffle B10 is close to the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1, with a gap of 1 cm. Thus, when the left-tilted special-shaped cigarette pack comes into contact with the movable baffle B10, the movable baffle B10 can change its tilt angle. During this process, the special-shaped cigarette pack continues to be conveyed by the conveyor belt 1. When the photoelectric sensor 12 detects that the special-shaped cigarette pack is approaching, its tilt angle is below 45° and it has completely passed through the movable baffle B10, then the cylinder B9 is activated in reverse, thereby pushing the movable baffle B10 to begin sliding and resetting.

[0022] Specifically, a secondary correction assembly is provided on the side of the frame 15 away from the movable baffle B10. The secondary correction assembly includes multiple chain plates 14 that are hinged to each other. The multiple chain plates 14 are located above the conveyor belt 1, and the chain plate 14 on the left end is hinged to the frame 15, while the chain plate 14 on the right end is hinged to the output end of the cylinder 11. The cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the frame 15.

[0023] Specifically, a photoelectric sensor C13 is provided on the side of the chain plate 14 on the right side, and the photoelectric sensor C13 is fixedly connected to the frame 15, and the photoelectric sensor C13 is electrically connected to the cylinder 11 and the high-definition camera 5.

[0024] In the above embodiment, when the high-definition camera 5 detects that the tilt angle of the special-shaped cigarette pack is less than 45 degrees, the high-definition camera 5 activates the photoelectric sensor C13 to detect the special-shaped cigarette pack approaching. After detecting the special-shaped cigarette pack approaching, the cylinder 11 is activated, thereby pulling the chain plate 14 to the right, thereby increasing the height between the lowest point of the chain plate 14 and the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1, until the distance between the lowest point of the chain plate 14 and the upper surface of the conveyor belt 1 is 5 cm. Thus, when the special-shaped cigarette pack passes through the chain plate 14, the chain plate 14 can apply resistance to the special-shaped cigarette pack, thereby completely correcting the special-shaped cigarette pack. That is, at this time, after the special-shaped cigarette pack passes through the chain plate 14, there is no tilt angle. When the special-shaped cigarette packs that are tilted more than 45° to the left or 45° to the right are corrected by the movable baffles A7 and B10, they pass through the photoelectric sensor C13 during the continued transmission process. At this time, the photoelectric sensor C13 activates the cylinder 11, thereby raising the height of the chain plate 14, so as to perform a second correction on the special-shaped cigarette packs to correct them until there is no tilt.
