[0031] Specifically, there may be one or more detection cameras 21, and the number of detection cameras 21 is not limited. There may also be multiple mirrors 23, so that the detection camera 21 can photograph the surfaces of the cigarette in multiple mirrors, thereby achieving that the detection camera 21 can obtain multiple surfaces of the cigarette in one shot.
[0032] The packaging component 3 is used to pack cigarettes into cigarette packs 5 .
[0033] The controller 4 is connected to the detection camera 21 , the first detection optical fiber 22 and the packaging component 3 respectively. The controller 4 is used to receive the signal of the first detection optical fiber 22 and control the detection camera 21 and the packaging component 3 to work according to the signal transmitted by the first detection optical fiber 22 .
[0034] When in use, when the mold box 11 drives the cigarette to move to the cigarette clamp 13, the pushing member 12 pushes the cigarette onto the cigarette clamp 13, and the cigarette clamp 13 clamps the cigarette. At this time, when the first detection optical fiber 22 detects that the pushing member 12 moves to the initial position, the first detection optical fiber 22 transmits a signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the detection camera 21 to take pictures of the mirror 23 and the cigarette. Under the action of the mirror 23, the detection camera 21 takes pictures of two sides of the cigarette, so that the conditions of multiple cigarettes can be checked.
[0035] It should be noted that there are at least two sides of the cigarette in the picture taken by the detection camera 21. Only when the cigarettes in the two sides are qualified, the cigarette is considered qualified. If there is a cigarette in one of the sides that is unqualified, the cigarette is considered unqualified, and the unqualified cigarette package 5 is eventually moved to the packaging machine outlet and rejected. In addition, if three consecutive cigarette packages 5 are unqualified and rejected, the controller 4 will output a stop signal to the packaging machine, and the packaging machine will stop and alarm. The operator can then open the protective cover to check for defective products.
[0036] The utility model is provided with a movable arrangement inside the packaging machine, the pusher 12 and the cigarette clamp 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the mold box 11, the mirror 23 is arranged on one side of the cigarette clamp 13, the detection camera 21 is electrically connected to the first detection optical fiber 22, and the detection camera 21 and the mirror 23 are arranged oppositely; and the controller 4 is respectively connected to the detection camera 21, the first detection optical fiber 22 and the packaging component 3. When in use, when the mold box 11 drives the cigarette to move to the cigarette clamp 13, the pusher 12 pushes the cigarette to the cigarette clamp 13, and the cigarette clamp 13 clamps the cigarette. At this time, when the first detection optical fiber 22 detects that the pusher 12 moves to the initial position, the first detection optical fiber 22 transmits a signal to the controller 4, and the controller 4 controls the detection camera 21 to take pictures of the mirror 23 and the cigarette. Under the action of the mirror 23, the detection camera 21 takes pictures of the two sides of the cigarette, so that the situation of multiple cigarettes can be checked, which reduces the production cost and avoids the problem of reduced product quality caused by the storage of damaged cigarettes.
[0037] In one embodiment of the cigarette appearance quality inspection device of the present invention, the inspection component 2 also includes a connecting bracket (not shown in the figure), the first end of the connecting bracket is connected to the inside of the packaging machine, and the second end of the connecting bracket is rotatably connected to the mirror 23.
[0038] The utility model connects the first end of the connecting bracket to the inside of the packaging machine, and the second end of the connecting bracket is rotatably connected to the mirror 23, and then the surface of the cigarette displayed in the mirror 23 is adjusted by rotating the mirror 23, so as to ensure that the surface of the cigarette reflected by the mirror 23 meets the requirements, thereby reducing the blind angle of shooting.
[0039] In one embodiment of the cigarette appearance quality inspection device of the present invention, the pushing member 12 includes a pushing rod (not shown in the figure) and a pushing plate (not shown in the figure), and the pushing rod is connected to the pushing plate to drive the pushing plate to push the cigarettes in the mold box 11.
[0040] Specifically, the utility model also includes a driving motor (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the first end of the pushing rod, and the second end of the pushing rod is connected to the pushing plate.

[0047] When the second detection optical fiber 24 detects that the aluminum foil 32 exists between the packaging wheel 31 and the cigarette clamp 13 , the second detection optical fiber 24 transmits a signal to the controller 4 , and the controller 4 controls the packaging machine to work normally.
[0048] The utility model electrically connects the second detection optical fiber 24 to the detection camera 21 and the controller 4 respectively, and detects whether there is aluminum foil 32 between the packaging wheel 31 and the cigarette clamp 13 through the second detection optical fiber 24, thereby controlling the packaging wheel 31 to perform packaging work or stop working, effectively reducing the waste of raw materials and further saving costs.
[0049] In one embodiment of the cigarette appearance quality inspection device of the utility model, the inspection component 2 further includes a third inspection optical fiber 25 , which is arranged toward the mold box 11 , and is electrically connected to the packaging component 3 and the controller 4 .
[0050] Specifically, when the third detection optical fiber 25 detects that there is no cigarette in the mold box 11, the third detection optical fiber 25 transmits a signal to the packaging machine, and the packaging machine stops conveying the aluminum foil 32. When the third detection optical fiber 25 detects that there is a cigarette in the mold box 11, the third detection optical fiber 25 transmits a signal to the packaging machine, and the packaging machine conveys the aluminum foil 32 normally, so that the aluminum foil 32 wraps the cigarette.
[0051] The utility model sets the third detection optical fiber 25 toward the mold box 11, and the third detection optical fiber 25 is electrically connected to the packaging component 3. When the third detection optical fiber 25 detects the presence of cigarettes in the mold box 11, the normal transportation of the aluminum foil 32 is controlled, thereby avoiding the problem of cigarette packaging caused by the appearance of an empty mold box 11, and effectively reducing the unqualified rate.
