Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cigarette production equipment, and in particular to a cigarette packaging machine. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of the cigarette assembling machine, the tipping paper may shift during the transportation process, resulting in abnormal wrapping state of the tipping paper in subsequent processes. The tipping paper may exceed the length of the filter tip, or fail to reach the length of the filter tip and expose the filter tip, resulting in the produced cigarettes having serious substandard process indicators such as air permeability, draw resistance, and ventilation.
[0003] However, it is difficult to promptly detect defective cigarettes with abnormal wrapping status of the tipping paper relying solely on existing periodic operator self-inspection and quality inspector inspection methods. This may cause such cigarettes to flow into downstream processes, making source investigation extremely difficult. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present disclosure aims to provide a cigarette tipping machine to reduce the risk of cigarettes with abnormal tipping paper wrapping status flowing into downstream processes.
[0005] A first aspect of the present disclosure provides a cigarette tipping machine, comprising:
[0006] The tipping mechanism is configured to connect the cigarette body and the filter tip through the tipping paper to form a cigarette, including a closing wheel;
[0007] A tipping paper supply device, comprising a first guide roller and a second guide roller, wherein the first guide roller and the second guide roller are arranged side by side and spaced apart along a preset direction to form a conveying channel arranged along the preset direction, wherein the first guide roller is configured to convey the tipping paper to the second guide roller, and the second guide roller acts on the approaching wheel to wrap the tipping paper around the outer side of the connection position between the cigarette body and the filter; and
[0008] Two deviation detection devices are arranged side by side and spaced perpendicular to the preset direction to correspond to two side edges of the tipping paper perpendicular to the preset direction. Each of the deviation detection devices is configured to detect whether the corresponding side edge passes through the position, so as to detect whether the conveying direction of the tipping paper deviates from the preset direction.
[0009] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the tipping mechanism includes a rejecting wheel, which is disposed downstream of the approaching wheel along the conveying direction and is configured to reject cigarettes with abnormal wrapping state of the tipping paper.
[0010] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the rejecting wheel is communicatively connected to the two deviation detection devices. When one of the two deviation detection devices detects that the corresponding side has passed, and the other one cannot detect that the corresponding side has passed, and the duration is less than or equal to a preset time, the rejecting wheel rejects cigarettes with abnormal wrapping status of the tipping paper.
[0011] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the tipping mechanism and the tipping paper supply device are communicatively connected to the two deviation detection devices. When one of the two deviation detection devices detects that the corresponding side edge passes through and the other one cannot detect that the corresponding side edge passes through and the duration is greater than a preset time, the tipping mechanism and the tipping paper supply device stop operating.
[0012] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, an alarm device is included, which is communicatively connected to the two deviation detection devices. When one of the two deviation detection devices detects the passage of the corresponding side and the other one cannot detect the passage of the corresponding side and the duration is greater than a preset time, the alarm device sends an alarm signal.
[0013] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the distance between the two deviation detection devices is adjustable.
[0014] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a tipping paper presence detection device is further included. The tipping paper presence detection device is disposed between the first guide roller and the second guide roller and is configured to detect whether the tipping paper passes between the first guide roller and the second guide roller.
[0015] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the tipping paper presence detection device includes a photoelectric sensor.
[0016] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the deviation detection device includes a photoelectric sensor.
[0017] A second aspect of the present disclosure provides a cigarette production line, comprising the cigarette tipping machine described in the first aspect of the present disclosure.
[0018] The cigarette tipping machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure can detect the real-time movement of the two side edges of the tipping paper by setting two deviation detection devices between the first guide roller and the second guide roller of the tipping paper supply device. If the conveying direction of the tipping paper deviates from the preset direction, the two side edges of the tipping paper will be deflected, thereby causing the detection signal of the deviation detection device to change. Therefore, the cigarette tipping machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the risk of cigarettes with abnormal tipping paper wrapping status flowing into downstream processes, reduce quality risks, reduce the loss of manpower and material resources caused by source investigation, and help ensure lean production of equipment.

[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 7 Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cigarette tipping machine, including a tipping mechanism, a tipping paper supply device and two deviation detection devices 4.
[0034] The tipping mechanism is configured to connect the cigarette body 9 and the filter 8 through the tipping paper 7 and form a cigarette, and includes a close wheel E. The tipping paper supply device includes a first guide roller 31 and a second guide roller 32, which are arranged side by side and spaced along a preset direction to form a conveying channel arranged along the preset direction. The first guide roller 31 is configured to convey the tipping paper 7 to the second guide roller 32, and the second guide roller 32 acts on the close wheel E to wrap the tipping paper 7 outside the connection position between the cigarette body 9 and the filter 8. Two deviation detection devices 4 are arranged side by side and spaced perpendicular to the preset direction to correspond to the two side edges of the tipping paper 7 perpendicular to the preset direction. Each deviation detection device 4 is configured to detect whether a corresponding side edge passes through the position, so as to detect whether the conveying direction of the tipping paper 7 deviates from the preset direction.
[0035] The specific structure of the cigarette loading machine can be referred to Figure 1 The receiving mechanism includes multiple drum wheels, each of which is provided with different numbers of cigarette slots, and the cigarette slots are provided with negative pressure holes, which are used to adsorb cigarette rods, cigarette bodies or cigarettes on the drum wheels. The cigarette body means the part of a single cigarette without the filter. The length of the cigarette rod is twice that of a standard cigarette without the filter, that is, the length of the cigarette rod is twice that of a single cigarette body.
[0036] The multiple drum wheels include a cigarette receiving wheel A, a primary slitting wheel B, a separation wheel C, a transition wheel D, a close wheel E, a cigarette rolling wheel F, a transmission wheel G, a secondary slitting wheel H, a transfer wheel I, a U-turn wheel J, a detection wheel K and a rejection wheel L which are arranged in sequence. The multiple drum wheels also include an acceleration wheel M, a merging wheel N, a dislocation wheel O and a cutting wheel P which are arranged in sequence. The receiving mechanism also includes a first cutter 1 correspondingly arranged on the primary slitting wheel B and a second cutter 2 correspondingly arranged on the secondary slitting wheel H.
[0037] When the cigarette rod is transferred to the primary slitting wheel B, the cutter under the primary slitting wheel B will cut the cigarette rod in half, separate the two cigarette bodies 9 by a distance through the separation wheel C, and complete the work of joining the filter tip in the two cigarette bodies at the transition wheel D. Then, under the action of the approaching wheel E and the tipping paper supply device, the tipping paper 7 is wrapped around the cigarette body 9 and the filter tip 8, and then the double-length cigarette is formed under the action of the cigarette rolling wheel F. The double-length cigarette passes through the secondary slitting wheel H to form a single standard cigarette, and then passes through the turning wheel J to unify the direction of the standard cigarette, and then the standard cigarette is inspected by the inspection wheel K, and the qualified cigarettes are transported to the downstream process.
[0038] During this process, if the conveying direction of the tipping paper 7 deviates from the preset direction and deviates, it will cause the tipping paper 7 of one of the double-length cigarettes to exceed the length of the filter 8 after cutting, while the tipping paper 7 of the other cigarette does not reach the length of the filter 8 and exposes the filter 8. Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.
[0039] The cigarette tipping machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure can detect the real-time movement of the two side edges of the tipping paper by setting two deviation detection devices between the first guide roller and the second guide roller of the tipping paper supply device. If the conveying direction of the tipping paper deviates from the preset direction, the two side edges of the tipping paper will be deflected, thereby causing the detection signal of the deviation detection device to change. Therefore, the cigarette tipping machine of the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the risk of cigarettes with abnormal tipping paper wrapping status flowing into downstream processes, reduce quality risks, reduce the loss of manpower and material resources caused by source investigation, and help ensure lean production of equipment.
[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1The receiving mechanism includes a rejecting wheel L, which is arranged downstream of the approaching wheel E along the conveying direction and is configured to reject cigarettes with abnormal wrapping state of the tipping paper 7.
[0041] In the above embodiment, by providing a rejecting wheel L, cigarettes with abnormal wrapping state of the tipping paper 7 can be rejected in time, thereby preventing abnormal cigarettes from flowing into subsequent processes.
[0042] Combine the following Figures 5 to 7 The detection process of the deviation detection device 4 in some embodiments of the present disclosure is further explained. Figure 7 The changes in the detection signals of the two deviation detection devices 4 are shown, where "1" indicates that the deviation detection device 4 can detect the passage of the corresponding side, and "0" indicates that the deviation detection device 4 cannot detect the passage of the corresponding side.
[0043] refer to Figure 7 In the dashed line area (1) shown, during the production process, if the conveying direction of the tipping paper 7 does not deviate from the preset direction, both deviation detection devices 4 can detect the corresponding side edges of the tipping paper 7 passing through.
[0044] If the conveying direction of the tipping paper 7 deviates from the preset direction, refer to Figure 5 , one of the deviation detection devices 4 will not detect the corresponding side edge of the tipping paper 7 passing through.
[0045] In some embodiments, the rejection wheel L is communicatively connected to the two deviation detection devices 4. When one of the two deviation detection devices detects the passage of the corresponding side and the other does not detect the passage of the corresponding side and the duration is less than or equal to a preset time, the rejection wheel L rejects cigarettes with abnormal wrapping status of the tipping paper 7.
[0046] refer to Figure 7 In the dashed box area (2) shown, when only one of the deviation detection devices 4 can detect the corresponding side edge of the tipping paper 7 passing through, and the holding time is a value T1 that is less than or equal to the preset time, it indicates that the tipping paper may be jumping due to the splicing of the tipping paper during the production process, which is a temporary deviation. At this time, the corresponding control signal can be used to wait for the defective cigarettes generated in the process to reach the rejection wheel L, and the rejection wheel L will reject the defective cigarettes.
[0047] In some embodiments, the tipping mechanism and the tipping paper supply device are communicatively connected to the two deviation detection devices 4. When one of the two deviation detection devices 4 detects that the corresponding side passes through and the other does not detect that the corresponding side passes through and the duration is greater than a preset time, the tipping mechanism and the tipping paper supply device stop operating.
[0048] In some embodiments, the cigarette packaging machine includes an alarm device, which is communicatively connected to the two deviation detection devices 4. When one of the two deviation detection devices 4 detects the passage of the corresponding side and the other does not detect the passage of the corresponding side and the duration is greater than a preset time, the alarm device sends an alarm signal.
[0049] refer to Figure 7 In the dashed box area (3) shown, when only one of the deviation detection devices 4 can detect the corresponding side edge of the tipping paper 7 passing through, and the time is greater than the preset time T2, it indicates that the tipping paper has seriously and unadjustably deviated and needs to be stopped for maintenance. At this time, the corresponding control signal can be used to stop the operation of the tipping mechanism and the tipping paper supply device, and send an alarm signal to avoid producing more defective cigarettes.
[0050] The value of the preset time can be determined based on theoretical calculation or production experience, for example, it can be 5s.
[0051] In order to meet the requirements of deviation detection of tipping papers 7 of different specifications, in some embodiments, the distance between the two deviation detection devices 4 is adjustable.
[0052] In some embodiments, the cigarette tipping machine further includes a tipping paper presence detection device 6 , which is disposed between the first guide roller 31 and the second guide roller 32 and is configured to detect whether tipping paper 7 passes between the first guide roller 31 and the second guide roller 32 .
[0053] In the above embodiment, the tipping paper presence detection device 6 and the deviation detection device 4 can detect the conveying condition of the tipping paper 7 at the middle position and the two side edge positions of the tipping paper 7 respectively, which is conducive to more accurately judging whether the tipping paper 7 deviates during the conveying process.
[0054] In some embodiments, the tipping paper presence detection device 6 comprises a photoelectric sensor.
[0055] In some embodiments, the deviation detection device 4 comprises a photoelectric sensor.
[0056] Some embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a cigarette production line, comprising the aforementioned cigarette assembling machine.
[0057] The cigarette production line provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure has the advantages of the aforementioned cigarette assembling machine.
[0058] In some embodiments, the above-described process of performing corresponding actions according to the detection signal of the deviation detection device 4 can be implemented based on a control device, wherein the control device can be implemented as a general-purpose processor, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic devices, discrete gates or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components or any appropriate combination thereof for performing the functions described in the present disclosure.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present disclosure rather than to limit it. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present disclosure can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents, which should all be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection requested by the present disclosure.
