[0025] In the production of cigarettes, it is necessary to attach label paper to the outer packaging of cigarettes, and the label paper is usually packaged and transported in stacks or bundles. Specifically, a label paper stack 2 is usually formed by multiple sheets of label paper stacked together. In the packaging process of cigarettes, it is usually necessary to grab a single sheet or multiple sheets of label paper for the outer packaging of the product. The grabbing operation requires the label paper to be stable at a preset position and angle, so the posture of the label paper stack 2 will directly affect the grabbing operation in the downstream production process.
[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the trademark paper stack conveying device provided by the utility model, the trademark paper stack conveying device includes a conveying device 1, a detection device 3 and a control device 4, the conveying device 1 is used to convey the trademark paper stack 2; the detection device 3 is configured to detect the angle between the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 located on the conveying device 1 and the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 and / or the gap between two adjacent trademark paper stacks 2; the control device 4 is signal-connected to the detection device 3, and the control device 4 is configured to determine whether the angle between the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 and the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 and / or the gap between two adjacent trademark paper stacks 2 meet the preset standard according to the detection result of the detection device 3.
[0027] The detection device 3 is used to automatically detect the angle between the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 and the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 and / or the gap between two adjacent trademark paper stacks 2, and the control device 4 is used to compare the real-time state of the trademark paper stack 2 with the preset standard, so as to realize real-time monitoring of the state of the trademark paper stack 2 during the conveying process, understand whether the placement state of the trademark paper stack 2 meets the preset standard, so as to facilitate further adjustment, avoid equipment damage, trademark paper loss, impact on downstream production processes, etc. caused by abnormal posture of the trademark paper stack 2 and excessively large or small gaps between adjacent trademark paper stacks 2, and enhance the safety and operational reliability of the trademark paper stack conveying equipment.
[0028] In the above embodiment, the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 and the gap between two adjacent trademark paper stacks 2 can be adjusted according to actual production requirements.
[0029] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the direction indicated by the arrow is the conveying direction of the label paper stack 2. Before the label paper stack 2 is transferred to the conveying device 1, the label paper stack 2 is stored on the loading platform 7, and the outer periphery of the label paper stack 2 is usually wrapped with a cable tie 8 for fastening. Figure 3 As shown, the tie 8 on the outer periphery of the label paper stack 2 needs to be removed first, and then the label paper stack 2 is placed on the conveying area of the conveying device 1, so that the label paper can be used for packaging in the subsequent production process.
[0030] During the process of placing the label paper stack 2 on the conveying area of the conveying device 1 , due to the stability of the operation, the placement position, angle, etc. of the label paper stack 2 may not meet the production standards.
[0031] refer to Figure 2 , showing several situations in which several label paper stacks 2 are placed on the conveying device 1, Figure 2The direction indicated by the middle arrow is the conveying direction of the conveying device 1. Assume that in this embodiment, the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 (ie, the angle is 90 degrees), and there is no gap between adjacent trademark paper stacks 2.
[0032] By Figure 2 It can be seen that the trademark paper stack a and the trademark paper stack b are in the correct placement position. Specifically, the angle between the placement direction of the trademark paper stack a and the trademark paper stack b and the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 is 90 degrees, and there is no gap between the trademark paper stack a and the trademark paper stack b. The above two points meet the preset standards (that is, meet the production requirements in the current embodiment).
[0033] Taking trademark paper stack a and trademark paper stack b as the standard, the placement direction of trademark paper stack c meets the preset standard, but the gap between trademark paper stack c and trademark paper stack b is too large, and the placement directions of trademark paper stack d, trademark paper stack e and trademark paper stack f, as well as the gaps between themselves and adjacent trademark paper stacks, do not meet the preset standard. Among them, the placement direction of trademark paper stack d has an acute angle with respect to the standard placement direction, the placement direction of trademark paper stack e has an obtuse angle with respect to the standard placement direction, and the placement direction of trademark paper stack f is completely opposite to the standard placement direction.
[0034] In some embodiments, the detection device 3 includes an image collector, and the control device 4 includes an image processor. The image collector is configured to collect an image of the trademark paper stack 2, and the image processor is configured to compare the image of the trademark paper stack 2 with a preset image, and when the image of the trademark paper stack 2 is different from the preset image, determine that the angle between the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 and the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 and / or the gap between two adjacent trademark paper stacks 2 does not meet the preset standard.
[0035] Specifically, the "template matching" tool in the image processor can be used. The "template matching" tool can compare the "image of the trademark paper stack 2 collected by the image collector" with the "template of the image of the correctly placed trademark paper stack 2" (i.e., the preset image). When the two are compared and displayed to be the same, the placement state of the trademark paper stack 2 is normal and the trademark paper stack conveying device is operating normally. When the two are compared and displayed to be different, the placement state of the trademark paper stack 2 is abnormal.
[0036] In some embodiments, the control device 4 also includes a PLC module. When the image processor determines that the placement state of the trademark paper stack 2 is abnormal, the image processor will send a signal to the PLC module indicating that the trademark paper stack state is abnormal, so that the PLC module can combine the operation of other components of the trademark paper stack conveying equipment to take appropriate adjustment measures for the angle between the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 and the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 and / or the gap between two adjacent trademark paper stacks 2, such as straightening the crooked trademark paper stack 2, pushing forward the trademark paper stack 2 with a large gap with the previous trademark paper stack 2, rotating the trademark paper stack 2 facing the wrong direction by a certain angle, etc.
[0037] In some embodiments, the trademark paper stack conveying device also includes an alarm device 5 connected to the control device 4 by signal, and the alarm device 5 is configured to send an alarm signal when the angle between the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 and the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 and / or the gap between two adjacent trademark paper stacks 2 does not meet the preset standards.
[0038] By setting up the alarm device 5, it is possible to provide instant feedback on abnormal status of the trademark paper stack 2, thereby effectively preventing equipment failure, shutdown or other safety hazards that may be caused by incorrect posture of the trademark paper stack 2, inappropriate gap, etc. By timely discovering and solving problems, it is possible to reduce material loss, downtime and maintenance costs caused by trademark paper stack conveying failures, thereby reducing production and operation costs.
[0039] Especially in a highly automated logistics system or production line, the alarm device 5 can also remind on-site operators of potential risks, thereby preventing personal injury or equipment damage caused by overturning or falling of label paper stacks, thereby improving the safety level of the entire production line.
[0040] Furthermore, when it is found that the state of the trademark paper stack 2 is abnormal, timely adjusting the posture of the trademark paper stack 2 or the gap between adjacent trademark paper stacks 2 to make it meet the preset standards is a very critical point in the production process. Accurately controlling the placement position, orientation, tilt angle of a single trademark paper stack 2 on the conveying device 1, as well as the gap between adjacent trademark paper stacks 2 and other parameters helps to meet the high standards for conveying and handling trademark paper stacks in specific industries such as precision manufacturing and packaging, thereby ensuring the standardization of the production process and the consistency of the final product quality.
[0041] The label paper stack 2 in an abnormal placement state can be adjusted directly by on-site operators, or an automated device can be set to perform this operation, so as to save labor costs and improve operation efficiency.
[0042] Therefore, in some embodiments, the trademark paper stack conveying equipment also includes a correction device connected to the alarm device 5 signal. The correction device is configured to adjust the angle between the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 and the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 and / or the gap between two adjacent trademark paper stacks 2 after receiving the alarm signal, so that the placement state of the trademark paper stack 2 meets the preset standard to ensure the smooth progress of the production process.
[0043] In some embodiments, the trademark paper stack conveying equipment also includes a lighting device, which is configured to illuminate the conveying area on the conveying device 1, thereby facilitating the image collector to capture clearer images of the trademark paper stack 2 and obtain more accurate transportation status information of the trademark paper stack 2. It is also convenient for on-site operators to monitor and adjust the real-time status of the trademark paper stack 2 in the conveying area, thereby reducing the failure rate and improving production efficiency.
[0044] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the trademark paper stack conveying device further comprises a display panel 6 , and the display panel 6 is signal-connected to the detection device 3 to display the transportation status information of the trademark paper stack 2 .
[0045] The display panel 6 can intuitively display relevant information of the trademark paper stack 2. Once the angle between the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 and the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 and / or the gap between two adjacent trademark paper stacks 2 deviates from the preset standard, the operator can quickly discover and take countermeasures, which helps to improve work efficiency and accuracy.
[0046] In some embodiments, the display panel 6 is connected to the correction device signal so as to directly input instructions to the correction device to the display panel 6, thereby controlling the action of the correction device.
[0047] In the above embodiments, there are many options for the specific form of the conveying device 1, for example, it can be a belt conveyor, a roller conveyor, a chain conveyor, etc.
[0048] For example, in some embodiments, the conveying device 1 includes a belt conveyor.
[0049] In some other embodiments, the label paper stack conveying device can also be used to convey other items, and can be selected according to actual production needs to meet the conveying needs of different types of items. For example, the label paper stack conveying device of the utility model can be used in a logistics warehousing system to transport express parcels of various specifications, and can also be used on a product production line to transport product materials, etc., or the label paper stack conveying device can be used in other links of a packaging process line to transport packaging boxes, labels, etc.
[0050] A specific embodiment of the trademark paper stack conveying device of the utility model is described below:
[0051] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the trademark paper stack conveying device of the utility model includes a conveying device 1, a detection device 3, a control device 4, an alarm device 5, a deviation correction device, a display panel 6, a lighting device and a cargo platform 7.
[0052] In this embodiment, the trademark paper stack conveying equipment is used to convey materials for the packaging process of the cigarette packaging machine. The conveying device 1 is a belt conveyor. The detection device 3 includes a camera for collecting images. The camera is connected to the image processor signal of the control device 4. The lighting device includes a lighting lamp installed above the conveying area of the conveying device 1. The trademark paper stack conveying equipment is used to convey the trademark paper stack 2 required for the cigarette packaging process.
[0053] Before shipping label paper, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the operator needs to remove the tie ties 8 around the label paper stack 2 on the loading platform 7, and then place the label paper stack 2 on the feeding channel of the conveying device 1. When the label paper stack 2 is placed on the feeding channel, it is easy to be placed in the wrong direction, tilted, or with gaps between the paper stacks.
[0054] Specific reference Figure 2 , showing several possible placement states of the trademark paper stack 2 on the feeding channel of the conveying device 1. In this embodiment, it is stipulated that the placement direction of the trademark paper stack 2 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying device 1 (that is, the angle is 90 degrees), and it is stipulated that there should be no gap between adjacent trademark paper stacks 2.
[0055] If Figure 2 As shown, trademark paper stack a and trademark paper stack b are placed correctly, and the placement direction of trademark paper stack c is correct, but the gap between trademark paper stack c and trademark paper stack b is too large. The placement directions of trademark paper stack d, trademark paper stack e and trademark paper stack f (placed crookedly) and the gaps between themselves and adjacent trademark paper stacks (too large) do not meet the preset standards. Situations c, d, e and f will cause the trademark paper stacks to be unable to correctly enter the wrapping and packaging process of the packaging machine, causing the cigarette packages to be skewed and resulting in production quality problems.
[0056] In the packaging process of the cigarette packaging machine, when the label paper stack 2 moves into the collection range of the camera of the detection device 3 , the camera is started to take pictures, and the obtained pictures are processed by the image processor of the control device 4 .
[0057] When the image processor determines that the placement state of the trademark paper stack 2 in the detection area is abnormal, the image processor will send an abnormal state signal to the PLC. In this case, the PLC can further send an abnormal state prompt signal to the display panel 6 and the alarm device 5, thereby prompting the operator to deal with the unqualified trademark paper stack 2, or the PLC can further send an instruction to the correction device to adjust the placement state of the trademark paper stack 2 through the correction device.
[0058] The utility model monitors the posture and spacing of the trademark paper stack 2 on the conveying device 1 in real time by setting the detection device 3 and the control device 4, and timely corrects the trademark paper stack 2 in the situations such as c, d, e, f, etc., so that the trademark paper stack 2 can be correctly placed on the conveying channel of the conveying device 1, ensuring that the quality of the cigarette packs after wrapping in the subsequent process meets the production standards.
[0059] Through the description of multiple embodiments of the trademark paper stack conveying device of the utility model, it can be seen that the trademark paper stack conveying device of the utility model can automatically detect and monitor the state of the trademark paper stack in real time by setting a detection device and a control device, so as to timely obtain the real-time state of the trademark paper stack during the conveying process, understand whether the placement of the trademark paper stack meets the preset standard, and by setting an alarm device and a correction device, the abnormal state of the trademark paper stack can be discovered in time, so as to quickly adjust the state of the trademark paper stack, thereby avoiding equipment damage, trademark paper stack loss, and affecting the production of downstream processes caused by abnormal trademark paper stack state, reducing material loss, downtime and maintenance costs caused by trademark paper stack conveying errors, reducing safety hazards, and reducing production and operation costs.
[0060] Based on the above-mentioned label paper stack conveying device, the utility model also proposes a cigarette packaging machine, which includes the above-mentioned label paper stack conveying device. The positive technical effects of the label paper stack conveying device in the above-mentioned embodiments are also applicable to the cigarette packaging machine, which will not be repeated here.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that without departing from the principle of the utility model, the specific implementation method of the utility model can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents, and these modifications and equivalent replacements should be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the utility model.
