[0002] During the production process of cigarettes, the cigarette packaging machine needs to first inspect the cigarette packs for defects. The inspection items include appearance inspection and QR code inspection. Appearance defects mainly include paper shrinkage, transparent paper defects, etc. QR code inspection is to scan the QR code printed on the cigarette pack through the scanning device on the cigarette packaging machine to determine whether there are printing errors in the QR code or abnormal QR code scanning information. For cigarette packs with appearance defects or QR code defects, they will be rejected in the rejection process of the cigarette packaging machine, and then the operator will sort the rejected cigarette packs, and some cigarette packs with appearance defects will be repaired and put into the next process for packaging production. However, since cigarette packs with abnormal QR codes are often difficult to distinguish manually in appearance, operators need to use corresponding scanning equipment to check to distinguish the abnormal type of cigarette packs, which increases labor intensity. And it is still impossible to avoid cigarette packs with abnormal QR codes being put into the next process for packaging by operators, and there is still a risk of cigarette packs with abnormal QR codes entering the market.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a sorting device, which is used for a cigarette packaging machine. The cigarette packaging machine includes a body 100, a detection component and a sorting device in this embodiment. The detection component includes an appearance detection component and a QR code detection component, the appearance detection component is used to screen cigarette packs with abnormal appearance, and the QR code detection component is used to detect cigarette packs with abnormal QR codes. The body 100 is provided with a waste port, and cigarette packs with abnormal appearance and cigarette packs with abnormal QR codes are both discharged through the waste port. The sorting device can sort the cigarette packs with abnormal appearance and cigarette packs with abnormal QR codes discharged from the waste port, so that the operator no longer needs to distinguish the cigarette packs with abnormal QR codes from the abnormal cigarette packs.

[0026] Furthermore, the sorting device is arranged below the waste port of the cigarette packaging machine, and the waste port is used to allow the rejected abnormal cigarette packs to be discharged from the cigarette packaging machine. The sorting device includes a mounting plate 1, a driving member 2, a guide plate 4 and a storage box 5. The mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected to the body 100 of the cigarette packaging machine, the driving member 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1, the guide plate 4 is connected to the output shaft of the driving member 2 through a rotating sleeve 3, and the driving member 2 is used to drive the guide plate 4 to rotate relative to the mounting plate 1. The storage box 5 is located below the guide plate 4, and a first storage space 52 is formed inside the storage box 5. Two positioning members are arranged at the lower part of the body 100, and the two ends of the storage box 5 are respectively matched with the two positioning members to realize the positioning connection between the storage box 5 and the body 100, so as to ensure that the relative position of the storage box 5 and the guide plate 4 does not change. The guide plate 4 has a first guide position and a second guide position. When the guide plate 4 is in the first guide position, the guide plate 4 guides the abnormal cigarette pack into the first receiving space 52; when the guide plate 4 is in the second guide position, the abnormal cigarette pack cannot fall into the first receiving space 52. By arranging the guide plate 4 below the waste port, the abnormal cigarette pack is guided by the first guide position and the second guide position of the guide plate 4, so that different types of abnormal cigarette packs can fall into corresponding positions, and the operator no longer needs to distinguish the abnormal types of cigarette packs, and the risk of abnormal cigarette packs entering the market is avoided.

[0027] Specifically, the driving member 2 can be a magnetic steel rotating electromagnet, a stepper motor or a servo motor, and the present embodiment is preferably a magnetic steel rotating electromagnet. The cigarette packaging machine is also provided with a controller, and the appearance detection component and the two-dimensional code detection component are both connected to the controller in communication, and the controller is connected to the magnetic steel rotating electromagnet in communication and the controller can control the rotation angle of the output shaft of the magnetic steel rotating electromagnet. Both the appearance detection component and the two-dimensional code detection component can send their detection results to the controller. The controller controls the output shaft of the magnetic steel rotating electromagnet to rotate to the corresponding angle according to the detection results of the appearance detection component and the two-dimensional code detection component, so that the guide plate 4 is in the first guide position or the second guide position, so as to separate the cigarette packs with abnormal appearance and the cigarette packs with abnormal two-dimensional codes. Among them, the appearance detection component, the two-dimensional code detection component and the magnetic steel rotating electromagnet are the prior art in the field and are not described in detail here. The controller in the present embodiment can be a single single-chip microcomputer or multiple integrated single-chip microcomputers, which run the existing control program inside and control the corresponding actuator to complete the corresponding action through different signal inputs. The structure of the controller and its control program are both mature prior art in the field, so they are not described in detail here.

[0028] Furthermore, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the storage box 5 is provided with a partition plate 51, and the partition plate 51 divides the interior of the storage box 5 into a first storage space 52 and a second storage space 53. When the guide plate 4 is in the second guide position, the guide plate 4 guides the cigarette pack with abnormal appearance into the second storage space 53. Specifically, when the detection component detects that the current cigarette pack is a cigarette pack with abnormal QR code, the driving member 2 rotates to the first preset position, drives the guide plate 4 to be in the first guide position, and the cigarette pack with abnormal QR code falls from the waste material port and contacts the guide plate 4, and falls into the first storage space 52 under the action of the guide plate 4. When the detection component detects that the current cigarette pack is a cigarette pack with abnormal QR code, the driving member 2 rotates to the second preset position, drives the guide plate 4 to be in the second guide position, and the cigarette pack with abnormal appearance falls from the waste material port and contacts the guide plate 4, and falls into the second storage space 53 under the action of the guide plate 4, thereby realizing the separation of cigarette packs with abnormal QR code and cigarette packs with abnormal appearance. In other embodiments, the position of the driving member 2 can also be adjusted manually. When the detection component detects different types of abnormal cigarette packets, different forms of sound and light alarms are issued. The operator determines the type of abnormal cigarette packet based on the sound and light alarms, and operates the driving member 2 to rotate to the corresponding angle, which can also achieve the separation of different types of abnormal cigarette packets.

[0029] Specifically, the partition plate 51 is located directly below the rotating sleeve 3, and the rotating sleeve 3 is arranged directly below the waste port. When the rotating plate rotates to the first guide position or the second guide position, the rotating plate can completely block the path of the abnormal cigarette pack from the waste port to the second receiving space 53 or the first receiving space 52, ensuring that the abnormal cigarette pack can only be introduced into the first receiving space 52 or the second receiving space 53 after contacting the guide plate 4. The partition plate 51 is arranged directly below the rotating sleeve 3, which can ensure that the abnormal cigarette pack only falls into the corresponding first receiving space 52 or second receiving space 53, avoiding the occurrence of sorting errors.

[0030] Furthermore, the length direction of the guide plate 4 is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating sleeve 3, one side of the guide plate 4 is welded to the rotating sleeve 3, and the length of the guide plate 4 is greater than the length of the rotating sleeve 3. Therefore, after the abnormal cigarette packet falls onto the guide plate 4, it can slide along the guide surface 41 of the guide plate 4, and the rotating sleeve 3 located on one side of the guide plate 4 will not hinder the sliding of the abnormal cigarette packet, so that the abnormal cigarette packet can slide smoothly along the guide plate 4 to the first receiving space 52 or the second receiving space 53. In other embodiments, the width direction of the guide plate 4 can also be set to be parallel to the axial direction of the rotating sleeve 3, and the width of the guide plate 4 can be set to be greater than the length of the rotating sleeve 3, so that the abnormal cigarette packet can slide smoothly to the first receiving space 52 or the second receiving space 53.

[0031] Optionally, in order to improve the convenience of maintenance of the sorting device, the rotating sleeve 3 is keyed to the output shaft of the driving member 2, so that the rotating sleeve 3 and the driving member 2 can be separated more conveniently when maintenance or replacement is required. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the output shaft of the driving member 2 is set to be D-shaped, and the rotating sleeve 3 is provided with a D-shaped hole corresponding thereto, and the motion of the output shaft of the driving member 2 is transmitted to the rotating sleeve 3 through the cooperation of the two.

[0032] Furthermore, the length of the guide plate 4 is greater than one of the length and width of the waste opening, and the width of the guide plate 4 is greater than the other of the length and width of the waste opening. In this way, it can be ensured that no matter where the abnormal cigarette pack falls from the waste opening, it can fall on the guide plate 4 and be guided by the guide plate 4 to the corresponding first receiving space 52 or second receiving space 53. At the same time, when the guide plate 4 is in the first guiding position or the second guiding position, the plane extending along the width direction of the guide surface 41 of the guide plate 4 intersects with the inner surface of the receiving box 5, so as to ensure that the abnormal cigarette pack guided by the guide plate 4 will not fall outside the receiving box 5.

[0033] Since some cigarette packs with abnormal appearance can still be put into the post-production process after adjustment or repair, in order to prevent the abnormal cigarette packs from falling on the guide plate 4 during the sorting process and causing local damage, which increases the difficulty of repair, an elastic buffer layer is attached to the guide surface 41 of the guide plate 4, and the elastic buffer layer can be a rubber pad or a sponge pad to prevent the abnormal cigarette packs from colliding with the guide plate 4.

[0034] By setting up the sorting device in this embodiment, the abnormal cigarette packs rejected by the cigarette packaging machine are sorted, and the cigarette packs with abnormal appearance and the cigarette packs with abnormal QR codes are stored in different areas. The operator does not need to distinguish the abnormal cigarette packs in the storage box 5 again, which reduces the work intensity and effectively avoids the risk of abnormal cigarette packs with abnormal QR codes entering the market due to manual sorting.

[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
