However, traditional inspection methods usually rely on manual operation, such as setting inspection tasks, and the extraction and verification of cigarette cartons, which makes the efficiency of cigarette carton inspection low and prone to erroneous inspections. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides an automatic sampling inspection method, system, medium, and program product for cigarettes, to solve the problems of existing cigarette sampling inspections being heavily reliant on manual labor, having low sampling efficiency, and being prone to erroneous sampling.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, an automatic sampling inspection method for cigarettes is provided, comprising: Upon receiving a request to sort and identify cigarette packs, identify the length of the cigarette pack code. The target brand and target carton sealing machine number are determined based on the length of the cigarette pack code. According to the cigarette sampling inspection task, the target brand and target carton sealing machine number are verified, and when the cigarette is verified to be the cigarette to be inspected, the cigarette to be inspected is moved to the sampling port.

[0005] According to another aspect of the present invention, an automatic cigarette sampling inspection device is provided, comprising: The code length recognition module is used to identify the code length of a pack of cigarettes when a pack of cigarettes is received for sorting and recognition. The brand and carton number determination module is used to determine the target brand and target carton sealing machine number based on the length of the cigarette code in the carton; The verification and handling module is used to verify the target brand and target carton sealing machine number according to the cigarette sampling inspection task, and when the cigarette is verified to be the cigarette to be inspected, it is handled to the sampling port.

[0006] According to another aspect of the present invention, a warehouse control system is provided, the warehouse control system comprising: At least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to said at least one processor; The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the at least one processor, which is then executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the automatic cigarette sampling method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed Implementation

[0013] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] It should be noted that the terms "current," "target," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0015] Example 1 Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an automatic sampling inspection method for cigarette cartons provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the fully automatic sampling inspection of multiple types of cigarette cartons. The method can be executed by an automatic cigarette carton sampling inspection device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in a warehouse control system. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 110: Upon receiving a request to sort and identify cigarette packs, identify the length of the cigarette pack code.

[0016] The cigarette sorting and identification request can be a request to identify cigarettes that have passed through the main cigarette sorting gate. The cigarette code length can be the number of digits in the cigarette identification barcode.

[0017] In this embodiment of the invention, all cigarette cartons submitted to the line will pass through the main cigarette sorting gate, meaning that at least one type of cigarette carton will pass through the main cigarette sorting gate within a continuous period of time. When a carton of cigarettes passes through the main cigarette sorting gate, the main cigarette sorting gate will send a cigarette sorting identification request, which will instruct the warehouse control system to identify the length of the cigarette identification barcode of the passing carton, as captured by the camera at the main cigarette sorting gate.

[0018] Step 120: Determine the target brand and target carton sealing machine number based on the length of the cigarette pack code.

[0019] The target brand number can be the brand number of the cigarettes passed through the main sorting gate. The target carton sealing machine number can be the carton sealing machine number of the cigarettes passed through the main sorting gate. The carton sealing machine number can be understood as a unique source identifier for the cigarettes in the packaging process, used for traceability, sorting, quality control, and other end-to-end management. The brand number can be a unique code for the brand and specifications of the cigarettes.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, a query strategy can be used to look up the brand and sealing machine number corresponding to different brand codes based on the length of the cigarette code. The target brand and target sealing machine number of the cigarette can then be determined according to the brand and sealing machine number query strategy.

[0021] Step 130: According to the cigarette sampling inspection task, verify the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number, and when the cigarette is verified to be the cigarette to be inspected, move the cigarette to be inspected to the sampling port.

[0022] The task of sampling cigarettes can be a task of sampling cigarettes in cartons. This task can include the type of cigarettes to be sampled, the sampling time, and the quantity to be sampled. The cigarettes to be sampled can be the cartons of cigarettes that need to be sampled. The sampling port can be the sorting port for collecting the cigarettes to be sampled.

[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the cigarette sampling inspection task, it can be confirmed whether the target brand and target sealing machine number of each cigarette passing through the cigarette sorting main channel match the brand and sealing machine number of the cigarette to be sampled. If the target brand and target sealing machine number of the current cigarette passing through the cigarette sorting main channel match the brand and sealing machine number of the cigarette to be sampled, then the current cigarette is determined to be a cigarette to be sampled, and the cigarette to be sampled is transported to the sampling port according to the preset control logic. If the target brand and target sealing machine number of the current cigarette passing through the cigarette sorting main channel do not match the brand and sealing machine number of the cigarette to be sampled, then the current cigarette is not a cigarette to be sampled, and the non-sampling cigarette is transferred to the downstream normal sorting port.

[0024] The technical solution of this invention involves identifying the length of the cigarette code when a cigarette sorting and identification request is received, thereby determining the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number based on the cigarette code length, and then verifying the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number according to the cigarette sampling inspection task. When the cigarette is verified to be a cigarette to be inspected, the cigarette to be inspected is transported to the sampling port. This solution can specifically identify the brand and sealing machine number carried by the codes on cigarette cartons of different lengths, maximizing the variety of cigarette cartons that can be automatically inspected. Based on the cigarette carton inspection task, it performs dual-dimensional verification of cigarette cartons by using the brand that uniquely identifies the cigarette category and the sealing machine number that indicates the production source, identifying the cigarette cartons that need to be inspected and then transmitting them to the inspection port. This achieves automated inspection of multiple types of cigarette cartons, reduces the error rate of manual operation, and solves the problems of existing cigarette carton inspections that rely heavily on manual labor, have low inspection efficiency, and are prone to erroneous inspections. It can improve the efficiency of cigarette carton inspections, reduce the strong dependence on manual labor, and also reduce the erroneous inspection rate of cigarette cartons.

[0025] Example 2 Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an automatic cigarette sampling inspection method according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the above embodiment and provides specific optional implementation methods for generating cigarette sampling inspection tasks. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes: Step 210: Analyze the cigarette sampling inspection work order through the warehouse management system, determine the key data of the cigarettes to be sampled, and generate the cigarette sampling inspection task based on the key data of the cigarettes to be sampled.

[0026] The cigarette sampling inspection work order can be an automatically generated system document or a manually initiated document for sampling and inspecting cigarette cartons. The work order may include the sampling period, brand, quantity, and sealing machine number. Key data for the cigarette cartons to be inspected may include the sampling time interval and the total number of cartons sampled.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, the production management system can send a cigarette sampling inspection work order to the warehouse management system. The warehouse management system can parse the cigarette sampling inspection work order to obtain the sampling time point and the total number of cigarettes to be sampled for the required sampling type. Based on the sampling time point, sampling duration and total number of cigarettes to be sampled for the required sampling type, the system determines the key data of the cigarettes to be sampled. Based on the key data of the cigarettes to be sampled, the system generates a cigarette sampling inspection task for the corresponding sampling type according to a preset program script.

[0028] Step 220: Upon receiving a request to sort and identify cigarette packs, identify the length of the cigarette pack code.

[0029] Step 230: Determine the target brand and target carton sealing machine number based on the length of the cigarette pack code.

[0030] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, determining the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number based on the length of the cigarette pack code may include: when the length of the cigarette pack code is the first digit, using the cigarette pack brand as the target brand and the packaging machine number that produces the cigarette pack as the target carton sealing machine number; when the length of the cigarette pack code is the second digit, querying the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number from the No. 1 project database.

[0031] The first digit can be the length of the quality traceability code for each cigarette. The second digit can be the length of the "Project Number" code. The Project Number database can be the database of the cigarette production and operation decision-making management system. The Project Number code can be a nationally unified identification code assigned to each cigarette by the cigarette production and operation decision-making management system.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, it can be determined whether the length of the cigarette code in a carton is the first or second digit. If the length is the first digit, the brand of the cigarette and the machine number of the packaging box used to produce the cigarette are retrieved from the warehouse control system. The brand of the cigarette is then used as the target brand, and the machine number of the packaging box used to produce the cigarette is used as the target sealing machine number. If the length is the second digit, the target brand and the target sealing machine number are retrieved from the No. 1 project database.

[0033] Step 240: According to the cigarette sampling inspection task, verify the target brand and target carton sealing machine number, and when the cigarette is verified to be a sample to be inspected, move the sample to be inspected to the sampling port.

[0034] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the verification of the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number according to the cigarette sampling inspection task may include: when the cigarette sampling inspection task involves multiple cigarettes, the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number corresponding to the cigarettes passing through the cigarette sorting main channel are verified in a distributed manner.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, if there are multiple cigarette sampling inspection tasks, the target brand number and target sealing machine number corresponding to each cigarette passing through the cigarette sorting main channel can be verified in a distributed manner based on the multiple cigarette sampling inspection tasks, that is, the multiple cigarette sampling inspection tasks can be executed in parallel.

[0036] Optionally, multiple cigarette sampling inspection tasks can be executed in parallel. Specifically, this can be achieved by verifying the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number, thereby identifying the cigarettes to be sampled for each cigarette sampling inspection task in parallel.

[0037] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after verifying the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number according to the cigarette sampling inspection task, the method may further include: when it is verified that the cigarette is not a cigarette to be sampled, the cigarette is transmitted to the target cigarette sorting channel according to the cigarette association data of the cigarette.

[0038] Among them, non-sampled cigarette packs can be cigarette packs that do not require sampling and can be transported normally. Cigarette pack association data can be data describing the attributes of the cigarette packs. Cigarette pack association data may include the cigarette brand and batch number, etc. The target cigarette pack sorting channel can be the sorting channel for cigarette packs that do not require sampling. Optionally, different categories of non-sampled cigarette packs may correspond to different target cigarette pack sorting channels; that is, non-sampled cigarette packs of the same category may be transported to a single target cigarette pack sorting channel.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, if the cigarette is found to be a non-sampling cigarette, the cigarette association data of the cigarette is obtained, and the category of the current non-sampling cigarette is determined based on the cigarette association data, and then the cigarette is transferred to the target cigarette sorting channel based on the category of the current non-sampling cigarette.

[0040] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, distributed verification of the target brand number and target carton sealing machine number corresponding to the cigarettes passing through the main cigarette sorting gate may include: determining the cigarette sampling time interval and the total number of cigarettes sampled for each cigarette sampling task; and performing distributed verification of the target brand number and target carton sealing machine number corresponding to the cigarettes passing through the main cigarette sorting gate according to the cigarette sampling time interval and the total number of cigarettes sampled for each cigarette sampling task.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, each cigarette sampling task can be analyzed to obtain the sampling time interval and the total number of cigarettes sampled for each task. Thus, when the number of sampled cigarettes has not reached the total number of cigarettes sampled and the sampling time interval does not exceed the latest sampling time interval of the corresponding cigarette sampling task, the target brand number and target carton sealing machine number of the cigarettes passing through the cigarette sorting gate are verified to achieve distributed verification of multiple cigarette sampling tasks, that is, to execute multiple cigarette sampling tasks in parallel.

[0042] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, distributed verification is performed on the target brand and target sealing machine number corresponding to the cigarettes passing through the main cigarette sorting gate, according to the cigarette sampling time interval and the total number of cigarettes sampled for each cigarette sampling task. This may include: when the number of cigarettes sampled for the current cigarette sampling task is less than the corresponding total number of cigarettes sampled, and no cigarettes matching the current cigarette sampling task are detected and verified within the current cigarette sampling time interval, updating the number of cigarettes sampled for the adjacent target cigarette sampling time interval; and within the adjacent target cigarette sampling time interval, distributed verification is performed on the target brand and target sealing machine number corresponding to the cigarettes passing through the main cigarette sorting gate, according to the number of cigarettes sampled for the adjacent target cigarette sampling time interval.

[0043] The target adjacent cigarette sampling time interval can be the next adjacent cigarette sampling time interval after the current cigarette sampling time interval. The current cigarette sampling time interval and the target adjacent cigarette sampling time interval correspond to one cigarette sampling task.

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, if it is detected that the number of cigarettes sampled in the current cigarette sampling task is less than the total number of cigarettes sampled, does not exceed the latest cigarette sampling time interval, and no cigarettes matching the current cigarette sampling task are detected and verified within the current cigarette sampling time interval, it indicates that the current inspection and sampling task has not been completed, and the production rate is too slow to match the sampling operation. Based on the number of cigarettes sampled in the current cigarette sampling time interval, the number of cigarettes sampled in the target adjacent cigarette sampling time interval is increased. Thus, within the target adjacent cigarette sampling time interval, based on the adjusted number of cigarettes sampled in the target adjacent cigarette sampling time interval, the target brand and target sealing machine number of the cigarettes passing through the cigarette sorting main channel are distributedly verified to obtain the cigarettes to be sampled.

[0045] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a sampling, sorting, and shelving process provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the production management system issues a cigarette sampling inspection work order to the warehouse management system. The warehouse management system creates a cigarette sampling inspection task based on the sampling time and total number of cigarettes to be sampled in the work order, and then sends the task to the warehouse control system. Upon receiving the cigarette sorting and identification request, the warehouse control system determines the length of the cigarette code. If the code length is the first digit, it obtains the target brand and target sealing machine number. If the code length is the second digit, it queries the database of Project 1 to obtain the target brand and target sealing machine number. Further, it determines whether the target brand and target sealing machine number of the cigarettes in the sampled cigarettes match the brand and sealing machine number of the sampled cigarettes. If they do not match, the sampled cigarettes are sorted to the corresponding target cigarette sorting lane. If the target brand and target carton sealing machine number of the cigarettes in the case are the same as the brand and sealing machine number of the cigarettes to be inspected, then it is determined whether the current time exceeds the sampling time period of the corresponding cigarette sampling task (i.e., the cigarette sampling time interval). If it exceeds the sampling time period of the corresponding cigarette sampling task, then the sampling task for that case of cigarettes is terminated. If it does not exceed the sampling time period of the corresponding cigarette sampling task, then it is determined whether the number of cigarettes sampled has reached the total number of cigarettes sampled. If it has reached the total number of cigarettes sampled, then the sampling task for that case of cigarettes is terminated. If it has not reached the total number of cigarettes sampled, then the cigarettes are moved to the sampling port, and the number of cigarettes sampled is updated.

[0046] Optionally, the warehouse management system uses keyword retrieval or rule matching to extract sampling time points from cigarette sampling work orders. It then determines the sampling time period according to a preset sampling time range (e.g., 60 minutes before and after the sampling time point), and further determines the sampling time interval based on the total number of cigarettes sampled. For example, if the sampling time point is 13:00 and the total number of cigarettes sampled is 5, the sampling time period is 12:00-14:00. One cigarette is sampled every 120 / 5 = 24 minutes until the total number of cigarettes sampled is reached. If no cigarettes matching the sealing machine and brand are identified within 24 minutes, the sampling count for the next sampling time period is incremented by one.

[0047] The technical solution of this invention involves parsing the cigarette sampling inspection work order through the warehouse management system to determine the key data of the cigarettes to be sampled, and generating a cigarette sampling inspection task based on the key data. Upon receiving a cigarette sorting and identification request, the system identifies the length of the cigarette code and determines the target brand and target sealing machine number based on the cigarette code length. Then, according to the cigarette sampling inspection task, the system verifies the target brand and target sealing machine number, and if the cigarette is verified to be the one to be sampled, it is moved to the sampling port. This solution can specifically identify the brand and sealing machine number carried by the code on cigarette packs of different lengths, maximizing the types of cigarettes that can be automatically sampled. Based on the cigarette pack sampling task, it performs two-dimensional verification of cigarette packs by using the brand that uniquely identifies the cigarette category and the sealing machine number that indicates the production source, identifying the cigarette packs that need to be sampled and then sending them to the sampling port. This achieves automated sampling of multiple types of cigarette packs, reduces the error rate of manual operation, and solves the problems of existing cigarette pack sampling that rely heavily on manual labor, have low sampling efficiency, and are prone to erroneous sampling. It can improve the efficiency of cigarette pack sampling, reduce the strong dependence on manual labor, and also reduce the erroneous sampling rate of cigarette packs.

[0048] Example 3 Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an automatic cigarette sampling inspection device provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the device includes: The code length recognition module 310 is used to recognize the code length of a pack of cigarettes when a pack of cigarettes is received for sorting and recognition. The brand and carton number determination module 320 is used to determine the target brand and target carton sealing machine number based on the length of the carton code. The verification and handling module 330 is used to verify the target brand and target carton sealing machine number according to the cigarette sampling inspection task, and when the cigarette is verified to be the cigarette to be inspected, it is handled to the sampling port.

[0049] The technical solution of this invention involves identifying the length of the cigarette code when a cigarette sorting and identification request is received, thereby determining the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number based on the cigarette code length, and then verifying the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number according to the cigarette sampling inspection task. When the cigarette is verified to be a cigarette to be inspected, the cigarette to be inspected is transported to the sampling port. This solution can specifically identify the brand and sealing machine number carried by the codes on cigarette cartons of different lengths, maximizing the variety of cigarette cartons that can be automatically inspected. Based on the cigarette carton inspection task, it performs dual-dimensional verification of cigarette cartons by using the brand that uniquely identifies the cigarette category and the sealing machine number that indicates the production source, identifying the cigarette cartons that need to be inspected and then transmitting them to the inspection port. This achieves automated inspection of multiple types of cigarette cartons, reduces the error rate of manual operation, and solves the problems of existing cigarette carton inspections that rely heavily on manual labor, have low inspection efficiency, and are prone to erroneous inspections. It can improve the efficiency of cigarette carton inspections, reduce the strong dependence on manual labor, and also reduce the erroneous inspection rate of cigarette cartons.

[0050] Optionally, the automatic cigarette sampling inspection device also includes a cigarette sampling inspection task generation module, which is used to parse the cigarette sampling inspection work order through the warehouse management system, determine the key data of the cigarettes to be sampled, and generate the cigarette sampling inspection task based on the key data of the cigarettes to be sampled; wherein, the key data of the cigarettes to be sampled includes the cigarette sampling inspection time interval and the total number of cigarettes to be sampled.

[0051] Optionally, the brand and carton number determination module 320 is used to determine the brand of the cigarette pack as the target brand and the packaging machine number that produces the cigarette pack as the target carton sealing machine number when the length of the cigarette pack code is the first digit; and to query the target brand and the target carton sealing machine number from the No. 1 project database when the length of the cigarette pack code is the second digit.

[0052] Optionally, the verification and handling module 330 includes a verification unit, which is used to perform distributed verification of the target brand number and target sealing machine number of the cigarettes passing through the main sorting channel when the cigarette sampling task is multiple pieces.

[0053] Optionally, the automatic cigarette sampling inspection device also includes a normal handling module, which, when it is verified that the cigarette is not a cigarette to be sampled, transfers the cigarette to the target cigarette sorting channel according to the cigarette association data of the cigarette.

[0054] Optionally, a verification unit is used to determine the sampling time interval and the total number of cigarette samples for each of the cigarette sampling tasks; and to perform distributed verification of the target brand and target sealing machine number corresponding to the cigarettes passing through the main cigarette sorting gate according to the sampling time interval and the total number of cigarette samples for each of the cigarette sampling tasks.

[0055] Optionally, the verification unit is used to update the number of cigarettes sampled in the target adjacent cigarette sampling time interval when the number of sampled cigarettes in the current cigarette sampling task is less than the total number of sampled cigarettes in the corresponding cigarette sampling task, and no cigarettes matching the current cigarette sampling task are detected and verified within the current cigarette sampling time interval; and to perform distributed verification of the target brand and target sealing machine number of the cigarettes passing through the cigarette sorting main gate according to the number of sampled cigarettes in the target adjacent cigarette sampling time interval.
