[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the full-standard cigarette packaging machine of this embodiment includes a frame, on which are provided a special-type cigarette conveyor belt 1, a standard cigarette conveyor belt 2, a similar-standard cigarette conveyor belt 3, a push rod mechanism 4, an automatic flip mechanism 5, a first shrinking machine 6, a second shrinking machine 7 and a packing conveyor belt 8. The special-type cigarette conveyor belt 1 is connected to the first shrinking machine 6 via the push rod mechanism 4 in sequence, the standard cigarette conveyor belt 2 and the similar-standard cigarette conveyor belt 3 are connected to the automatic flip mechanism 5, the automatic flip mechanism 5 is connected to the second shrinking machine 7, and a packing conveyor belt 8 is connected between the push rod mechanism 4 and the automatic flip mechanism 5. Through the combination of multiple sorting lines including the special cigarette conveyor belt 1, the standard cigarette conveyor belt 2 and the standard-like cigarette conveyor belt 3, the conventional operation mode and the peak operation mode can be switched according to different times and different orders. In both operation modes, the special cigarettes, standard cigarettes and standard-like cigarettes can be packaged and labeled, thereby maximizing the overall packaging work, thereby improving the overall sorting efficiency and packaging efficiency, improving the degree of automation, and reducing labor costs and labor intensity; through the packing conveyor belt 8, the standard cigarettes can be stacked and packaged together with standard-like cigarettes and special cigarettes, and can also be packaged and labeled independently in an oven.

[0022] Different combinations are selected according to the composition of cigarette orders. Generally, 5 cartons of standard cigarettes and 4 cartons of similar-standard cigarettes are used as the lower two layers of the cigarette stack, and the remaining standard cigarettes and thin, medium and short cigarettes are used as a cigarette pack.

[0023] Limited by the plastic film sealing and cutting operation of the packaging machine, under normal circumstances, the efficiency of cigarette sorting and packaging machines in producing cigarette packs is 12-15 packs per minute, while the full-size cigarette stacking mechanism is more affected by the different sizes of various cigarettes, and the efficiency of stacking and sealing and cutting is lower. Therefore, the packaging machine has become the operating bottleneck of most sorting equipment. In order to achieve a sorting efficiency of 25,000 cigarettes / hour, a sorting equipment with 2 packaging machines, according to the high-speed operation of 15 packs / minute, requires an average of 14 cigarettes per pack. This is impossible for places with many small customers. Therefore, many places can only increase the number of packaging machines, resulting in 3-4 packaging machines on a sorting line, too long logistics conveyor belts, and high failure rates. Through the first shrinking machine 6 and the second shrinking machine 7, one customer's order can be output respectively, breaking the technical bottleneck of the output of 12-14 packs of cigarette packs, and using three conveyor belts, namely the special cigarette conveyor belt 1, the standard cigarette conveyor belt 2, and the class standard cigarette conveyor belt 3, and two shrinking machines, the packaging efficiency of the packaging machine is maximized.

[0024] In this embodiment, the first shrinking machine 6 and the second shrinking machine 7 are both ovens.

[0025] In this embodiment, the automatic flipping mechanism includes a flipping frame and a flipping conveyor, the flipping frame is rotatably mounted on the frame, the rotating shaft of the flipping frame is horizontally arranged, and the flipping conveyor is arranged on the flipping frame. The flipping stacking mechanism can automatically stack cigarettes, realize standard independent packaging, and further improve packaging efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment, a push rod stacking mechanism is provided on the standard cigarette conveyor belt 2, and the push rod stacking mechanism includes a push rod and a lifting motor. The push rod is hinged on the frame, one end of the push rod is connected to the lifting motor drive, and the other end of the push rod faces the material and can push the material through the driving of the lifting motor. The push rod stacking mechanism can stack special cigarettes, realize standard independent packaging, and further improve packaging efficiency.

[0027] In this embodiment, a direction converter is also provided on the frame, which is located between the special cigarette conveyor belt 1, the standard cigarette conveyor belt 2 and the similar standard cigarette conveyor belt 3, and can change the direction of material movement. The direction converter can improve the utilization rate of the site and the centralized optimization of equipment.

[0028] In this embodiment, a counting and distributing machine is also provided on the frame, and the counting and distributing machine is located at the output end of the special-shaped cigarette conveyor belt 1 and can control the output of standard cigarettes. The counting and distributing machine can further improve the packaging efficiency.

[0029] In this embodiment, a baffle is also provided on the frame, which is located at the output end of the standard cigarette conveyor belt 2 and can control the output of special cigarettes. The packaging efficiency can be further improved by the baffle.

[0030] In this embodiment, a detection camera is also provided on the frame, which is located above the special cigarette conveyor belt 1, the standard cigarette conveyor belt 2 and the standard cigarette conveyor belt 3 and can take pictures of the materials. The detection camera can monitor the material conditions on the conveyor belt in real time.

[0031] In this embodiment, a rejection mechanism is also provided on the frame, which is located on one side of the special type cigarette conveyor belt 1, the standard cigarette conveyor belt 2 and the similar standard cigarette conveyor belt 3, and can reject damaged materials from the conveyor belt. The rejection mechanism can improve the yield rate on the conveyor belt, and ensure that the materials at the injection labeling machine are all qualified products.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rejecting mechanism includes a motor push rod and a push plate, wherein the motor push rod is arranged on the frame, and the telescopic end of the motor push rod is connected to the push plate. The motor push rod and the push plate can be conveniently manufactured and processed.

[0033] An analysis of the actual operation data from June 2021 to May 2022 shows that there were a total of 260 days of sorting throughout the year, of which 116 days exceeded the average daily sorting volume of 294,453 pieces, and the remaining 144 days exceeded the average sorting volume. For periods when daily sales did not exceed the average sales, the conventional operation mode can be adopted: in this mode, standard cigarettes and special cigarettes are independently discharged from two oven positions, and the strategy of maximizing packaging operation efficiency is followed here.

[0034] For peak periods, the peak operation mode is adopted. After the standard cigarettes and special cigarettes are stacked separately, they enter the independent drying mechanism for drying instead of online packaging. After automatic packaging and automatic labeling, they are manually offline for order closing. In this mode, the packaging efficiency can reach 20-25 packs / min. In this mode, standard cigarettes can be discharged from two drying positions. Here, the order unpacking strategy is followed:

[0035] If the number of standard cigarettes in an order is ≥15, the last pack of standard cigarettes will be stacked and combined with the special cigarette packs, and then enter the special cigarette drying machine for packaging; after the whole pack of standard cigarettes is stacked, it will enter the standard cigarette drying machine for packaging; finally, multiple packs of cigarettes of the same order will be converged at the manual loading station; if the number of standard cigarettes in an order is <15, the standard cigarettes will not be unpacked, but will be packaged together with the special cigarette packs; if the number of special cigarettes in an order is ≥15, they will not be packaged together with the standard cigarettes, but will be placed in different drying mechanisms separately.

[0036] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, improvements and changes obtained without departing from the technical concept of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
